The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “if,” “estimate,” “will,” “potential,” and similar expressions or other words of similar meaning, and the negatives thereof, are intended to identify forward - looking statements. Specific forward - looking statements include statements regarding the completion of the proposed transaction and the anticipated growth opportunities from the proposed transaction. The forward - look ing statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities L iti gation Reform Act of 1995. These forward - looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materiall y from those anticipated, including, but not limited to, the possibility that stockholders of Town and Country Financial Corporation (“Town and Country”) may not approve the merger agreement; the risk th at a condition to closing of the proposed transaction may not be satisfied, that either party may terminate the merger agreement or that the closing of the proposed transaction might be dela yed or not occur at all; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction; the diversion of ma nagement time on transaction - related issues; the ultimate timing, outcome and results of integrating the operations of Town and Country into those of HBT; the effects of the merger in HBT’s f utu re financial condition, results of operations, strategy and plans; and regulatory approvals of the transaction. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in HBT’s Annual Repo rt on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in its subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q, and in other documents HBT files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), each of which is on file with the SEC and available from HBT’s website at https://ir.hbtfinancial.com. All forward - looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. Nei ther HBT nor Town and Country assumes any obligation to update forward - looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward - looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities laws. As forward - looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such statements. 1 |
