Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact our expectations and projections can be found in GP AQ’ s periodic filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, Form 10 - Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, the definitive proxy statement filed by GPAQ with the SEC on June 18, 2019 pursuant to which a special meetin g o f the Company’s stockholder was conducted and at which stockholders approved an extension of the date by which GPAQ has to consumma te a business combination from July 30. 2019 to October 31, 2019, plus up to three additional 30 day extensions thereafter (the “ Ext ension Proxy”), the Current Report on Form 8 - K filed with the SEC on July 26, 2019 announcing the approval of the matters covered in the Extension P roxy, and in the proxy statement to be filed by GPAQ regarding the transaction memorialized in the AIP with the SEC when available. GPAQ’s SEC fi lings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. GPAQ disclaims any obligation to update the forward - looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Use of non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes non - GAAP financial measures of HOFV including forward - looking projections of EBITDA and adjusted EBIT DA and annualized run - rate EBITDA. In this presentation, “EBITDA” means net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes and dep reciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA adjusted for items that are not part of regular operating activities, including acq uisition related expenses, profit interest expense and founder’s fee (both of which will cease following closing of the merger) and other non - cas h items such as non - cash - unit based compensation, losses on disposal of property, losses from discontinued operations and individually significa nt disposals and expenses related to tax changes. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net i nco me or cash flows from operations, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. “Annualized run - rate EBITDA” means "EBITDA" projected over an annualized period. We have presented forward - looking projections of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and annualized run - rate EBITDA in this presentation because we consider them key measures used by HOFV management to understand and evaluate HOFV’s operating perfor man ce and trends, to prepare and approve HOFV’s annual budget and to develop short - term and long - term operational plans, and believe t hat those measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies. Other compan ies may calculate EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and annualized run - rate EBITDA differently than we do. HOFV and GPAQ are unable to reconcile the forward - looking projections of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and annualized run - rate EBITDA to their nearest GAAP measures because the nearest GAAP financial measures are not accessible on a forward - looking basis.
