Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements with respect to certain plans and objectives of Dune and EOS with respect to the proposed Offer, Merger and related transactions, including the timing of the completion of the Merger. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipate”, “target”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “goal”, “believe”, “hope”, “aim”, “continue”, “will”, “may”, “would”, “could” or “should” or other words of similar meaning or the negative thereof. There are several factors which could cause actual plans to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the risk that the acquisition of Dune and any related Offer and Merger may not be consummated, or may not be consummated in a timely manner. Dune–s and EOS– businesses, each as a whole, are subject to a number of risks, and to the extent those risks are known to be material, they have been listed and discussed in Dune–s and EOS–s respective annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and quarterly and current reports on Form 10-Q and 8-K. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct, and persons reading this communication are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as at the date of this communication. Dune and EOS assume no obligation to update the information contained in this communication (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise), except as required by applicable law.
