Even if the FL Entertainment Group believes that these assumptions have been made to the best of the FL Entertainment Group's management's knowledge as of the date of this press release, they may prove erroneous or unfounded.

Other 2022 Guidance and Medium-term Outlook Assuming normal macro-economic conditions, market circumstances and no material changes to the current regulatory and tax framework of the Group's business or the markets in which the Group is active, in addition to the Adjusted EBITDA Forecasts for 2022, the Group aims to achieve the other 2022E guidance and medium-term outlook on pages 19 and 21. Except as specifically set out on page 21, the Group has not defined, and does not intend to define by reference to specific periods the term "midterm" and the medium-term outlook should not be read as forecasts, projections or expected results and should not be read as indicating that the Group is targeting such metrics for any particular year. The 2022 guidance and medium-term outlook are based on the Group's business plan and a number of assumptions that the Group's management believes are appropriate, but which may turn out to be incorrect or different than expected. The Group's ability to realise these estimates or to meet these objectives is based upon the assumption that it will be successful in executing its strategy and it depends, in addition, on the accuracy of a number of assumptions, involving factors that are significantly or entirely beyond its control and no assurance can be given that the Group will be able to realise these estimates or to meet these objectives or that its financial position or results of operations will not be materially different from these estimates or objectives. The estimates and objectives are also subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may result in the Group being unable to achieve them, see the risk factors set out on pages 31-33. These estimates and objectives constitute forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future financial performance. As a result, the Group's actual results may vary from the 2022 guidance and medium-term outlook established herein and those variations may be material. The Group does not undertake to provide or publish any revised financial targets and objectives to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this presentation or to reflect events or circumstances existing at the date of this presentation but that have not been taken into account by us in connection with the Group's financial targets and objectives. 34
