Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains, and certain oral statements made by representatives of Tenzing and Reviva and their respective affiliates, from time to time may contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Tenzing’s and Reviva’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,” “might” and “continues,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Tenzing’s and Reviva’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger for the Reviva Business Combination (the “Merger Agreement”) or the transactions contemplated by the Backstop Agreements, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Transactions and the timing of the completion of the Transactions. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of Tenzing or Reviva and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the inability to complete the Transactions, including due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Tenzing or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (3) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of Tenzing’s common stock on NASDAQ following the Transactions; (4) the risk that the Transactions disrupt current plans and operations of Reviva as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Transactions; (5) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth economically and hire and retain key employees; (6) the risks that Reviva’s products in development fail clinical trials or are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other applicable authorities; (7) costs related to the Transactions; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the possibility that Tenzing or Reviva may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (10) other risks and uncertainties identified in Tenzing’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on August 12, 2020, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), which contains a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Transactions, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) made by Tenzing. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither Tenzing nor Reviva undertakes or accepts any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, subject to applicable law.

Readers are referred to the most recent reports filed with the SEC by Tenzing. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and Tenzing undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
