Forward Looking Statements

Certain information in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, the risks relating to the APA and the Amendment, including in respect of the satisfaction of closing conditions and the timing thereof; unanticipated difficulties financing the APA and the Amendment; unexpected challenges related to the integration of the Sellers’ businesses and operations; changes in general economic and/or industry specific conditions; difficulties in obtaining governmental and other third party consents in connection with the APA and the Amendment; unanticipated expenditures relating to or liabilities arising from the APA, the Amendment or the acquired businesses; the Sellers’ ability to service MSRs pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with the APA and the Amendment; uncertainties as to the timing of the APA and the Amendment; litigation or regulatory issues relating to the APA and the Amendment, the Sellers, the Company or the acquired businesses; the impact of the APA and the Amendment on relationships with, and potential difficulties retaining, employees, customers and other third parties; and the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, expected benefits from the APA and the Amendment. These statements are not historical facts. They represent management’s current expectations regarding future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained herein. In addition, risks and uncertainties to which the Sellers’ businesses are subject could affect the APA and the Amendment and, following the closing of the APA, the Company may be subject to such risks and uncertainties (including certain risks and uncertainties that currently apply to the Company and certain new risks and uncertainties applicable to the Sellers). Forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. For a discussion of some of the risks and important factors that could affect such forward-looking statements, see the sections entitled “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC, which are available on the Company’s website (www.newresi.com).
