3 Forward-Looking Statements In addition to historical information, this presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which CCPT III operates, include beliefs of and assumptions made by CCPT III’s management, and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial results of CCPT III. Words such as “may,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “projects,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could” and “should” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the business combination transaction involving CCPT III and Cole Holdings, future financial and operating results, and the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to earnings accretion, cash flow growth, AUM growth, rent and occupancy growth, changes in sales or contribution volume of developed properties, future dividend levels, an anticipated NYSE listing, increased liquidity, capital raising capabilities, availability of capital and general conditions in the geographic areas where we operate — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) national, international, regional and local economic climates, (ii) changes in financial markets, interest rates, credit spreads, and foreign currency exchange rates, (iii) changes in the real estate markets, (iv) continued ability to source new investments, (v) increased or unanticipated competition for our properties, (vi) risks associated with acquisitions, (vii) maintenance of real estate investment trust status, (viii) availability of financing and capital, (ix) changes in demand for developed properties, (x) risks associated with the ability to consummate the merger and the timing of the closing of the merger, and (xi) those additional risks and factors discussed in reports filed with the SEC by CCPT III from time to time. CCPT III does not make any undertaking with respect to updating any forward-looking statements appearing in this presentation. |
