Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This communication may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking
statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar
expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use
of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are
predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, and may cause
actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Among others, the following
uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the
failure to receive, on a timely basis or otherwise, the required approvals by NorthStar Asset Management Group
Inc. (“NSAM”), Colony Capital, Inc. (“Colony” or the “Company”) and NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. (“NRF”)
shareholders, governmental or regulatory agencies and third parties in connection with the proposed transactions among those
parties (the “merger”); the risk that a condition to closing of the merger may not be satisfied; each company’s ability to
consummate the merger; operating costs and business disruption may be greater than expected; the ability of each company to retain
its senior executives and maintain relationships with business partners pending consummation of the merger; the ability to realize
substantial efficiencies and synergies as well as anticipated strategic and financial benefits; and the impact of legislative,
regulatory and competitive changes. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information about these and other
factors can be found in each company’s reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”). There can be no assurance that the merger will in fact be consummated. We caution investors not to unduly rely on any
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations,
but they are not guarantees of future performance. Furthermore, the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future
events or other changes. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the Company’s future results to
differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
