statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combination,
including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in SEAH’s other
filings with the SEC. The foregoing list of factors is not
exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and
the other risks and uncertainties described in the registration
statement on Form F-4 discussed above, the proxy
statement/prospectus and other documents filed or that may be filed
by SEAH from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and
address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual events and results to differ materially from those contained
in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put
undue reliance on forward- looking statements, and Super Group and
SEAH assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise
these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events, or otherwise. Neither Super Group nor
SEAH gives any assurance that either Super Group or SEAH, or the
