All forward-looking statements included in this communication are based on information available to Optelecom-NKF and TKH on the date hereof.

No assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on Optelecom-NKF’s or TKH’s results of operations or financial condition. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. None of Optelecom-NKF, TKH nor any other person can assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of forward-looking statements and there are various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any such forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond Optelecom-NKF’s and TKH’s control. These factors include: failure to obtain stockholder approval of the proposed merger; failure to obtain, delays in obtaining or adverse conditions contained in any required approvals; failure to consummate or a delay in consummating the transaction for other reasons, changes in laws or regulations; and changes in general economic conditions. Optelecom-NKF and TKH undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
