Forward-looking statements
This investor presentation contains statements that are or may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities laws. All statements other than
statements of historical facts in this investor presentation may be forward looking statements. Future outlook and anticipated events, business, operations,
financial performance, financial condition or results and, in some cases, can be identified by terminology such as "may"; "will"; "should"; "expect"; "plan";
"anticipate"; "believe"; "intend"; "estimate"; "predict"; "potential"; "continue"; "foresee", "ensure" or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not
historical facts. Forward-looking information may relate to Cogeco Communications ("Cogeco"), Atlantic Broadband ("ABB") or the cable systems being
acquired from WOW!. This investor presentation may contain forward-looking statements with respect to, among other things, business objectives, expected
growth, results of operations, performance, business projects and opportunities and financial results. Forward looking statements include statements relating to
the following: (i) completion of the Ohio Cluster acquisition and related debt financing; (ii) Cogeco, ABB and the Ohio Cluster's expected operating results and
financial performance; (iii) the estimated tax benefits of the Ohio Cluster acquisition; (iv) the expected closing date of the acquisition; (v) the anticipated benefits
of the acquisition and ABB's ability to successfully integrate the Ohio Cluster.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future financial performance. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and
uncertainties and are based on certain factors and assumptions including expected growth, results of operations, purchase price allocation, tax rates and tax
losses carry-forwards, weighted average cost of capital, performance and business prospects and opportunities, which Cogeco believes are reasonable as of
the current date. While management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to Cogeco, they may prove to be
incorrect. Forward-looking information is also subject to certain factors, including risks and uncertainties (described in the "Uncertainties and main risk factors"
section of Cogeco's 2020 annual MD&A and the second quarter of fiscal 2021 shareholder report) that could cause actual results to differ materially from what
Cogeco currently expects. These factors include risks such as competitive risks, business risks (including potential disruption to our supply chain), regulatory
risks, public health crisis and emergencies such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, technology risks (including cybersecurity risks), financial risks (including
variations in currency and interest rates), economic conditions, human-caused and natural threats to our network, infrastructure and systems,
community acceptance risks, ethical behavior risks, ownership risks and litigation risks, many of which are beyond Cogeco's control. Therefore, future events
and results may vary significantly from what management currently foresees. In addition, Cogeco's and WOW!'s ability to close the transaction within the
expected timeframe, if at all, is dependent upon the parties' ability to comply with the closing conditions, some of which are beyond the control of the parties.
The reader should not place undue importance on forward-looking information and should not rely upon this information as of any other date. While
management may elect to, Cogeco is under no obligation and does not undertake to update or alter this information at any particular time, except as may be
required by law.
