Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The Company's and Accelus's actual results may differ from
their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not
rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words
such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," "forecast," "anticipate,"
"intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could," "should," "believes," "predicts,"
"potential," "continue," and similar expressions (or the negative versions of
such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the
Company's and Accelus's expectations with respect to future performance and
anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of
the closing conditions to the Business Combination and the timing of the
completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve
significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to
differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside
the Company's and Accelus's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that
may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the ability of
CHP and Accelus prior to the Business Combination, and New Accelus following the
Business Combination, to meet the closing conditions in the Business Combination
Agreement, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of
CHP and Accelus or certain regulatory approvals, or failure to satisfy other
conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement; (2) the occurrence
of any event, change or other circumstances, including the outcome of any legal
proceedings that may be instituted against CHP and Accelus following the
announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions
contemplated therein, that could give rise to the termination of the Business
Combination Agreement or could otherwise cause the transactions contemplated
therein to fail to close; (3) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of
the combined company's common stock on the Nasdaq, as applicable, following the
Business Combination; (4) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts
current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of
the Business Combination; (5) the inability to recognize the anticipated
benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other
things, competition and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage
growth profitably and retain its key employees; (6) costs related to the
Business Combination; (7) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (8) the
inability of the combined company to raise financing in the future; (9) the
success, cost and timing of Accelus's and the combined company's product
development activities; (10) the inability of Accelus or the combined company to
obtain and maintain regulatory approval for their products, and any related
restrictions and limitations of any approved product; (11) the inability of
Accelus or the combined company to identify, in-license or acquire additional
technology; (12) the inability of Accelus or the combined company to maintain
Accelus's existing license, manufacturing, supply and distribution agreements;
(13) the inability of Accelus or the combined company to compete with other
companies currently marketing or engaged in the development of treatments for
the indications that Accelus is currently pursuing for its product candidates;
(14) the size and growth potential of the markets for Accelus's and the combined
company's products and services, and each of their ability to serve those
markets, either alone or in partnership with others; (15) the pricing of
Accelus's and the combined company's products and services and reimbursement for
medical procedures conducted using Accelus's and the combined company's products
and services; (16) Accelus's and the combined company's estimates regarding
expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional
financing; (17) Accelus's and the combined company's financial performance; (18)
the impact of COVID-19 on Accelus's business and/or the ability of the parties
to complete the Business Combination; and (19) other risks and uncertainties
indicated from time to time in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the
