Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements regarding, among other
things, the plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial, of
AMCI and LanzaTech. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of
the management of AMCI and LanzaTech, respectively. Although AMCI and LanzaTech
believe that their respective plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or
suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither AMCI nor
LanzaTech can assure you that either will achieve or realize these plans,
intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to
risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not
historical facts, including statements concerning possible or assumed future
actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are
forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or
include the words "believes," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "forecasts,"
"may," "will," "should," "seeks," "plans," "scheduled," "anticipates," "intends"
or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements are based on projections
prepared by, and are the responsibility of, AMCI's management and LanzaTech's
management, respectively. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and
unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of
which are outside the control of AMCI and LanzaTech, that could cause actual
results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements. New risk factors that may affect actual results or
outcomes emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such
risk factors, nor can AMCI or LanzaTech assess the impact of all such risk
factors on its business, or the extent to which any factor or combination of
factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements, which speak
only as of the date hereof. All forward-looking statements attributable to AMCI,
LanzaTech or persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. AMCI and LanzaTech prior to the
Business Combination, and the combined company following the Business
Combination, undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Non-Solicitation
This press release shall not constitute a proxy statement or solicitation of a
proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of
the proposed Business Combination and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of
