1
Until the date of the Proposed Transaction, AgroFresh has been, and will continue to be, operated as an integrated business within The Dow Chemical Company and its affiliates. As a result, certain historical information concerning
AgroFresh, particularly as it relates to expenses and liabilities may not be reflective of the expenses and liabilities of the AgroFresh business following the consummation of the Proposed Transaction.
Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this presentation that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements may be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "estimate", "project", "budget", "forecast", "intend", "plan", "may", "will", "could", "should", "predicts", "potential", "continue", and other similar
expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets
in which AgroFresh operates, AgroFresh's beliefs and assumptions are made by its management and are not predictions or guarantees of actual performance. Accordingly, actual results and performance may materially differ from
results or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any forward-looking statements
or other information contained herein. Factors that could cause future results and performance to differ from the forward-looking statements include: the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections; local, regional, national
and international economic and business climates; risks of doing business internationally, including currency risks; changes in applicable laws or regulations; weather and natural disasters; outcomes of government reviews, inquiries
and investigations and any related litigation; continued compliance with government regulations; legislation or regulatory environments, requirements or changes affecting AgroFresh or its operations; fluctuations in customer demand;
the possibility that AgroFresh may be adversely affected by other economic, business, geopolitical, regulatory and/or competitive factors; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the
termination of the Proposed Transaction; the inability to complete the Proposed Transaction due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Boulevard or other conditions to the closing of the transaction; the risk that the
Proposed Transaction disrupts current plans and operations of AgroFresh as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Proposed Transaction; costs related to the proposed business combination.
Boulevard cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in Boulevard's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All
subsequent written and oral forward looking statements concerning Boulevard, the Proposed Transaction, related transactions, or other matters and attributable to Boulevard or any person acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in
their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Boulevard cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither Boulevard nor AgroFresh undertake any
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may
be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, Boulevard's proxy statement to be filed by Boulevard with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as
EDITDA and Pro Forma EBITDA, has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition, certain historical financial information concerning the results of operations of
AgroFresh has been adjusted to assume market conditions, such as currency exchange rates, as of December 31, 2014. A reconciliation of each of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP
measure is set forth in the Appendix to this presentation.
These non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to AgroFresh management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to AgroFresh's financial condition and results of operations. AgroFresh's
management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare periods for trend analysis and for budgeting and planning purposes. These non-GAAP measures provide a useful tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating
results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these
non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in AgroFresh's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of
judgments by AgroFresh management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, the non-GAAP financial measures
are presented with the most comparable GAAP results. You should review Boulevard's audited financial statements, which will by presented in Boulevard's preliminary proxy statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate AgroFresh's business.
