circumstances that could delay the closing of the proposed transaction; the possibility of non-consummation of the proposed transaction and termination of the merger agreement; the failure to obtain CLARCOR stockholder approval of the proposed

</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is possible that the future performance and earnings projections of Parker and/or CLARCOR, including projections of any individual segments, may
differ materially from current expectations, depending on economic conditions within each company&#146;s key markets, and each company&#146;s ability to maintain and achieve anticipated benefits associated with announced realignment activities,
strategic initiatives to improve operating margins, actions taken to combat the effects of the current economic environment, and growth, innovation and global diversification initiatives. A change in the economic conditions in individual markets may
have a particularly volatile effect on segment performance. Among other factors which may affect future performance of Parker and/or CLARCOR are, as applicable: changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers,
suppliers or distributors, including delays or cancellations in shipments; CLARCOR&#146;s potential inability to realize the anticipated benefits of the strategic supply partnership with GE; disputes regarding contract terms or significant changes
in financial condition, changes in contract cost and revenue estimates for new development programs and changes in product mix; ability to identify acceptable strategic acquisition targets; uncertainties surrounding timing, successful completion or
integration of acquisitions and similar transactions; the ability to successfully divest businesses planned for divestiture and realize the anticipated benefits of such divestitures; the determination to undertake business realignment activities and
the expected costs thereof and, if undertaken, the ability to complete such activities and realize the anticipated cost savings from such activities; ability to implement successfully capital allocation initiatives, including timing, price and
execution of share repurchases; availability, limitations or cost increases of raw materials, component products and/or commodities that cannot be recovered in product pricing; ability to manage costs related to insurance and employee retirement and
health care benefits; compliance costs associated with environmental laws and regulations; potential labor disruptions; threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism and cyber-security risks; uncertainties surrounding the ultimate
resolution of outstanding legal proceedings, including the outcome of any appeals; competitive market conditions and resulting effects on sales and pricing; and global economic factors, including manufacturing activity, air travel trends, currency
exchange rates, difficulties entering new markets and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation, interest rates and credit availability. Additional information about the risks related to Parker and its business may be found in
Parker&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2016 filed on August&nbsp;26, 2016. Additional information about the risks related to CLARCOR and its business may be found in CLARCOR&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended November&nbsp;28, 2015 filed on January&nbsp;22, 2016. Parker and/or CLARCOR make these statements as of the date of this disclosure, and undertake no obligation to update them unless otherwise required by law. </P>
