Such forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs of the respective management of Janus Parent and Juniper, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events, and involve factors, risks, and uncertainties that may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from such statements. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in Juniper’s filings with the SEC including, but not limited to, the risk factors and other uncertainties set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of Juniper’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in Juniper’s other filings.

All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to Janus Parent or Juniper or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in Juniper’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: (i) ability to meet the closing conditions to the merger, including approval by stockholders of Juniper on the expected terms and schedule and the risk that any regulatory approvals required for the merger are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; (ii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could cause the termination of the merger agreement or a delay in the closing of the merger; (iii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed merger on Juniper’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally; (iv) failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed transaction; (v) risks that the proposed merger disrupts Janus International’s current plans and operations and potential difficulties in Janus International’s employee retention as a result of the proposed merger; (vi) the effects of pending and future legislation; (vii) risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; (viii) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the merger; (ix) risks of the self-storage industry; (x) the highly competitive nature of the self-storage industry and Janus International’s ability to compete therein; (xi) litigation, complaints, and/or adverse publicity; (xii) the ability to meet NYSE’s listing standards following the consummation of the proposed transaction and (xiii) cyber incidents or directed attacks that could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss.
