These statements relate to the grant of the final court order approving the Arrangement, completion of the Arrangement and related matters. Such statements were based upon certain assumptions made by Richfield and/or New Gold with respect to the expected timeline for receipt of outstanding consents and approvals. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including any delays in the receipt of consents or approvals. Although Richfield and New Gold have 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 not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
