The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of PubCo’s registration statement on Form F-4, the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus discussed below, RFAC II’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents filed by PubCo or RFAC II from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Forward-looking statements reflect RFAC II’s and Nanyang’s expectations, plans, projections or forecasts of future events and view. If any of the risks materialize or RFAC II’s or Nanyang’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. In addition, the analyses of Nanyang and RFAC II contained herein are not, and do not purport to be, appraisals of the securities, assets or business of the Nanyang, RFAC II or any other entity.
