| Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements |
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including but not limited to information regarding the transactions contemplated by the spin-off. In addition, FTAI may not complete the spin at all. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact but instead are based on management’s present beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by management that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by management will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to FTAI and FTAI Infrastructure’s operations, financial results, financial condition, business, prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements, including, but not limited to, the risk factors set forth in (i) Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of FTAI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and FTAI’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, and (ii) “Risk Factors” of FTAI Infrastructure’s registration statement on Form 10, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2022, as further amended on May 24, 2022, July 1, 2022 and July 12, 2022. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. FTAI Infrastructure expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in FTAI Infrastructure’s expectations with regard thereto or change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.
