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 AppHarvest and Novus. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Business Combination, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to una nticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Proposed Business Combination or that the approval of the stockholders of Novus or AppHarvest is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to AppHarvest; risks related to the rollout of AppHarvest's business and the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of competition on AppHarvest's business; the amount of redemption requests made by Novus's stockholders; the ability of Novus or AppHarvest to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the Proposed Business Combination or in the future, and those factors discussed in Novus's Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended to date, under the heading "Risk Factors," and other documents Novus has filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.
