The qualifying transaction will be an arm's-length transaction as the current officers and directors of Carrington own no interests in Cozumo, and, as such, Carrington shareholders' approval is not required, unless otherwise required by law or the exchange.

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, exchange acceptance and, if applicable pursuant to exchange requirements, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable, the transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the filing statement of the corporation to be prepared in connection with the qualifying transaction, any information released or received with respect to the qualifying transaction may not be accurate or complete, and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.
