~~Item~~Forward-Looking ~~9.01 Financial~~ Statements ~~and Exhibits.~~

This Report includes “forward-looking statements” with respect to CPTK, Mkango and Lancaster. The expectations, estimates, and projections of the businesses of such parties may differ from their actual results 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, whether the BCA will be executed, whether the TSX-V will consent to the conversion of the Notes for shares of Lancaster and whether Nasdaq will approve the listing of shares of Lancaster. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of the parties and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (d1) ~~Exhibits~~the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the proposed business combination, and the possibility that the terms and conditions set forth in any definitive agreements with respect to the proposed business combination may differ materially from the terms and conditions set forth in the term sheet, (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties following the announcement of the proposed business combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the proposed transaction, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of CPTK or other conditions to closing; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the post-transaction company’s shares on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange following the proposed transaction; (5) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed transaction; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the proposed transaction; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (9) other risks and uncertainties included in documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by CPTK and Lancaster. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The parties do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law. Past performance by the parties’ management teams and their respective affiliates is not a guarantee of future performance. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on the historical record of the performance of the parties’ management teams or businesses associated with them as indicative of future performance of an investment or the returns that the parties will, or are likely to, generate going forward.
