Disclaimer

 

This current report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

Additional Information

 

In connection with the proposed Merger, the Company and Net Element have prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a joint proxy statement/prospectus (which has been included in an effective Registration Statement on Form S-4). A definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus and a form of proxy are being mailed, on or about September 5, 2012, to the shareholders of the Company and the shareholders of Net Element. Before making any voting decision, shareholders are urged to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety because it contains important information about the proposed merger. Shareholders are able to obtain, without charge, a copy of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents filed with the SEC through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s and Net Element’s current beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future events. Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “proposed,” “contemplated,” “plan,” “project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “pursue,” “target,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s and Net Element’s expectations with respect to the surviving company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations; approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the requisite number of shareholders; the satisfaction of closing conditions to the proposed transaction; and the timing of the completion of the proposed transaction. All forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, many of which are generally outside the control of the Company and Net Element and are difficult to predict. Examples of such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) the failure of the merger to close for any reason; (ii) general business and economic conditions; (iii) the performance of financial markets; (iv) risks relating to the consummation of the contemplated merger, including the risk that required shareholder approval and regulatory agencies might not be obtained in a timely manner or at all or that other closing conditions are not satisfied; (v) the impact of the merger on the markets for the surviving company’s products and services; (vi) the employees of the Company and Net Element not being combined and integrated successfully; (vii) operating costs and business disruption following the merger, including adverse effects on employee retention and on the Net Element’s business relationships with third parties; (viii) the inability of the surviving company following the closing of the merger to meet Nasdaq’s listing requirements; and (ix) the future performance of the surviving company following the closing of the merger. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements can be found in the most recent annual report on Form 10-K and the subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed by each of the Company and Net Element with the SEC. Each of the Company and Net Element anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause their views and expectations to change. Neither the Company nor Net Element assumes any obligation, and they specifically disclaim any intention or obligation, to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
