Information set forth in this press release includes “forward-looking statements” which reflect the Company's expectations and projections regarding future events and plans and future financial condition. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding the evaluation by the Orion Board of Directors of the Kawa proposal. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the Company and involve a number of known and unknown assumptions and risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be difficult to predict and beyond the Company's control, that could cause actual events and plans or could cause the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect future results include: the Company’s actions taken or contemplated to enhance its long-term prospects and create value for its shareholders; the risk of rising interest rates, such as that our borrowing costs may increase and we may be unable to refinance our debt obligations on favorable terms and in a timely manner or at all; conditions associated with the global market, including an oversupply of office space, tenant credit risk and general economic conditions; the extent to which changes in workplace practices and office space utilization, including remote and hybrid work arrangements, and changes in governmental budgetary priorities, will continue and the impact that may have on demand for office space at our properties; our ability to comply with the terms of our credit agreement; changes in the real estate industry and in the performance of financial markets and interest rates and our ability to effectively hedge against interest changes; and our ability to renew leases with existing tenants or re-let vacant space to new tenants on favorable terms and in a timely manner or at all.
