FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements, estimates, targets and projections in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between DHHC and GSH. Forward looking statements generally relate to future events or involving, or future performance of, DHHC or GSH. For example, statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which GSH operates and anticipated growth in demand for GSH's products, projections of GSH's future financial results and other metrics, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the proposed transaction between DHHC and GSH and the timing of the completion of the proposed transaction are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "pro forma", "may", "should", "could", "might", "plan", "possible", "project", "strive", "budget", "forecast", "expect", "intend", "will", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "predict", "potential" or "continue", or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that,
while considered reasonable by DHHC and its management, and GSH and its
management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are
not limited to: (i) the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed
in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of DHHC's
securities; (ii) the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed by
DHHC's business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an
extension of the business combination deadline if sought by DHHC; (iii) the lack
of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed
transaction; (iv) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges
related to the proposed transaction; (v) the outcome of any legal proceedings
that may be instituted against DHHC, GSH, the combined company or others
following the announcement of the business combination agreement relating to the
proposed transaction, the ancillary agreements contemplated thereby and the
transactions contemplated thereby; (vi) the inability to complete the proposed
transaction due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of DHHC or
GSH or DHHC's failure to satisfy other conditions to closing; (vii) the risk
that DHHC will not be able to raise third-party financing to meet the Minimum
Cash Condition if redemptions of DHHC public shares cause the DHHC trust account
to have insufficient funds (after giving effect to redemptions) to achieve the
Minimum Cash Condition; (viii) changes to the proposed structure of the proposed
transaction that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws
or regulations; (ix) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards
following the consummation of the proposed transaction; (x) the risk that the
proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of GSH or diverts
management's attention from GSH's ongoing business; (xi) the ability to
recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, which may be
affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined
company to grow and manage growth profitably, and maintain relationships with
customers and suppliers; (xii) costs related to the proposed transaction; (xiii)
changes in applicable laws or regulations; (xiv) the possibility that GSH or the
combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business,
regulatory, and/or competitive factors such as rising interest rates or an
economic downturn; (xv) GSH's estimates of expenses and profitability; (xvi) the
evolution of the markets in which GSH competes; (xvii) the ability of GSH to
implement its strategic initiatives; and (xviii) other risks and uncertainties
set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements" in DHHC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
