Such factors include, among others, those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus.
Although New Dawn has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to
differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions,
events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-looking statements contained
herein are made as of the date of this prospectus based on the opinions and estimates of management, and New
Dawn disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities legislation.
