Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the future financial operating performance of OACB or Alvotech S.A. For example, Alvotech S.A.’s expectations regarding future growth, results of operations, performance, future capital and other expenditures including the development of critical infrastructure for the global healthcare markets, competitive advantages, business prospects and opportunities including pipeline product development, future plans and intentions, results, level of activities, performance, goals or achievements or other future events; and the potential approval and commercial launch of AVT02. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by OACB and its management, and Alvotech S.A. and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and are inherently subject to risks, variability and contingencies, many of which are beyond OACB’s and Alvotech S.A.’s control. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against OACB, the combined company or others following this announcement of the Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of OACB, to obtain financing to complete the Business Combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (5) the inability to execute final agreement with respect to the loan facility with Sculptor Capital Management on acceptable terms or at all; (6) the inability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement by and between TopCo and Yorkville; (7) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (8) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Alvotech S.A. as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (9) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain key relationships and retain its management and key employees; (10) costs related to the Business Combination; (11) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (12) the possibility that Alvotech S.A. or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (13) Alvotech S.A.’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (14) pending litigation related to AVT02; (15) the potential impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the FDA’s review timelines, including its ability to complete timely inspection of manufacturing sites; (16) the commercial launch date of AVT02 in the United States or elsewhere, and (17) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in OACB’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 or in other documents filed by OACB with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither OACB nor Alvotech S.A. presently know or that OACB and Alvotech S.A. currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither OACB nor Alvotech S.A. undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements or to inform the recipient of any matters of which any of them becomes aware of which may affect any matter referred to in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Alvotech S.A. and OACB disclaim any and all liability for any loss or damage (whether foreseeable or not) suffered or incurred by any person or entity as a result of anything contained or omitted from this Current Report on Form 8-K and such liability is expressly disclaimed. The recipient agrees that it shall not seek to sue or otherwise hold Alvotech S.A., OACB or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors or representatives liable in any respect for the provision of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, or the omission of any information from this Current Report on Form 8-K.
