These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed transaction between GPIAC and Rimini Street.&#160; These statements are based on the current expectations of GPIAC and Rimini Street management and are not predictions of actual performance. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties regarding GPIAC&#8217;s and Rimini Street&#8217;s respective businesses and the transaction, and actual results may differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to; changes in the business environment in which GPIAC and Rimini Street operate, including inflation and interest rates, and general financial, economic, regulatory and political conditions affecting the industry in which Rimini Street operates; adverse litigation developments; inability to refinance existing debt on favorable terms; changes in taxes, governmental laws, and regulations; competitive product and pricing activity; difficulties of managing growth profitably; the loss of one or more members of GPIAC&#8217;s or Rimini Street&#8217;s management team; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed transaction, including the risk that the required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the transaction or that the approval of the shareholders of GPIAC and/or the stockholders of Rimini Street for the transaction is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction, including as a result of a delay in consummating the transaction or a delay or difficulty in integrating the businesses of GPIAC and Rimini Street; uncertainty as to the long-term value of GPIAC common stock; the inability to realize the expected amount and timing of cost savings and operating synergies; those discussed in GPIAC&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 under the heading &#8220;Risk Factors,&#8221; as updated from time to time by GPIAC&#8217;s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents of GPIAC on file with the SEC or in the joint proxy statement/prospectus that will be filed with the SEC by GPIAC. There may be additional risks that neither GPIAC nor Rimini Street presently know or that GPIAC and Rimini Street currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements provide GPIAC&#8217;s and Rimini Street&#8217;s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. GPIAC and Rimini Street anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause GPIAC&#8217;s and Rimini Street&#8217;s assessments to change. However, while GPIAC and Rimini Street may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, GPIAC and Rimini Street specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.

There may be additional risks that neither GPIAC nor Rimini Street presently know or that GPIAC and Rimini Street currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements provide GPIAC's and Rimini Street's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication.
