Forward-looking information and statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Spark Power cautions that the foregoing list of material factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within its control, and there is no assurance that they will prove correct. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by Spark Power will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences for, or effects on, Spark Power, the current Shareholders, or its future results and performance of Spark Power. For additional information with respect to these and other factors and assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements made in this news release concerning the Arrangement, see the Circular available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under Spark Power's issuer profile and on Spark Power's website (direct download at Management Information Circular - Spark Power (sparkpowercorp.com)).
