Such statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on BRPM's and FaZe's management's belief or interpretation of information currently available. These forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of BRPM's and FaZe's management and are not predictions of actual performance. Because forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions, whether or not identified in this Presentation, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Many factors could cause actual results and conditions (financial or otherwise) to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of any of the definitive agreements with respect to the Proposed Transaction; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings or other disputes that may be instituted against BRPM, FaZe, the combined company or others; (3) the inability to complete the Proposed Transaction due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of BRPM, to obtain certain governmental and regulatory approvals, or to satisfy other conditions to closing: (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Proposed Transaction that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Proposed Transaction; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Proposed Transaction; (6) the risk that the Proposed Transaction disrupts current plans and operations of BRPM or FaZe as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Proposed Transaction; (7) 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, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management, key employees and talents; (8) costs related to the Proposed Transaction; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; (10) the possibility that BRPM, FaZe or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors: (11) the impact of COVID-19 on SPAC's or FaZe's business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Proposed Transaction; (12) the inability to complete planned private placements in connection with the Proposed Transaction; and (13) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating to the Proposed Transaction. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of SPAC and FaZe. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. While FaZe and SPAC may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, FaZe and SPAC specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing FaZe's and SPAC's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication.
