FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report and the exhibits hereto include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Yunhong’s expectations with respect to future performance, anticipated financial impacts of the transactions described herein; approval of the transactions by security holders; the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the transactions; and the timing of the completion of the transactions.

 

Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect the parties’ current beliefs, based on information currently available. Most of these factors are outside the parties’ control and are difficult to predict. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include: business conditions; natural disasters; changing interpretations of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; outcomes of government reviews; inquiries and investigations and related litigation; continued compliance with government regulations; changes in legislation or regulatory environments, requirements or changes adversely affecting the business of Yunhong and Giga Energy, including but not limited the reaction of Giga Energy’s customers to the business combination, difficulties in maintaining and managing continued growth, restrictions on the ability to make dividend payments, and general economic conditions; geopolitical events and regulatory changes; and the failure to maintain the listing of Yunhong’s securities on the Nasdaq stock market. Other factors include the possibility that the business combination does not close or the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the transaction agreement, including due to the failure to receive any required security holder approvals, or the failure of other closing conditions.

 

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors are contained in Yunhong’s most recent filings with the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Yunhong and Giga Energy, the transactions described herein or other matters and attributable to Yunhong, Giga Energy, and Giga Energy’s shareholders or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither Yunhong, Giga Energy, and Giga Energy’s shareholders undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Subject to certain exceptions, if at any time after the Closing of the Transactions, Yunhong proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to its securities, under the Registration Rights Agreement, Yunhong shall give notice to the Sellers as to the proposed filing and offer the Sellers holding Registrable Securities an opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as requested by the Sellers in writing.

Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, Yunhong, the Purchaser Representative, Giga Energy and a certain shareholder (the “Subject Party”) will enter into a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Non-Competition Agreement”), in favor of Yunhong, Giga Energy and their respective successors, affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Covered Parties”) relating to the post-Closing company’s business. Under the Non-Competition Agreement, for a period of one (1) year after the Closing, each Subject Party and its affiliates will not, without Yunhong’s prior written consent, anywhere in the People’s Republic of China or any other markets, in which the Covered Parties are engaged, or are actively contemplating to become engaged, directly or indirectly, in the business of the production of hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric vehicles, mainly in the People’s Republic of China (collectively, the “Business”) (or own, manage, finance or control, or become engaged or serve as an officer, director, employee, member, partner, agent, consultant, advisor or representative of, an entity that engages in) of online media and entertainment services. However, the Subject Party and their respective affiliates may own passive investments of no more than five percent (5%) of any class of outstanding equity interests in a competitor that is publicly traded, so long as the Subject Party and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, managers and employees who were involved with the business of Yunhong or its subsidiaries, and the immediate family members of the Subject Party or their respective affiliates, are not involved in the management or control of such competitor. Under the Non-Competition Agreement, during such restricted period, the Subject Party also will not, without Yunhong’s prior written consent, (i) solicit or hire the Covered Parties’ employees, consultants or independent contractors as of the date of determination (or during the six (6) months prior to such date) or otherwise interfere with the Covered Parties’ relationships with such persons, (ii) solicit or divert the Covered Parties’ customers as of the date of determination (or during the six (6) month period prior to such date) relating to the Business or otherwise interfere with the Covered Parties’ contractual relationships with such persons, or (iii) interfere with or disrupt any Covered Parties’ vendors, suppliers, distributors, agents or other service providers for a purpose competitive with a Covered Party as it relates to the Business. The Subject Party will also agree in the Non-Competition Agreement to not disparage the Covered Parties and to keep confidential and not use the confidential information of the Covered Parties.
