Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results.

Factors that may cause actual future events to differ materially from the expected results, include, but are not limited to: (i) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the post-combination company to grow and manage growth profitability and retain its key employees, (ii) costs related to the Merger, (iii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may instituted against SensaSure or Verde, regarding the proposed Merger, (iv) the ability to maintain the listing of SensaSure’s or Verde’s securities on the OTC prior to the Merger, (v) the risk that SensaSure or Verde is not able to maintain and enhance its brand and reputation in its marketplace, adversely affecting SensaSure’s or Verde’s business, financial condition and results of operations, (vi) the risk that periods of rapid growth and expansion could place a significant strain on SensaSure’s resources, including its employee base, which could negatively impact SensaSure’s operating results; (xiii) the risk that SensaSure may never achieve or sustain profitability; (vii) the risk that SensaSure may need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; and (viii) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Registration Statement. There may be additional risks that SensaSure or Verde does not know or that SensaSure and Verde currently believe to be immaterial that could also cause results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
