This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect the current views of OCG, with respect to, among other things, its future results of operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements and information by words such as anticipate, approximately, believe, continue, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, outlook, plan, potential, predict, seek, should, will and would or the negative version of these words or other comparable or similar words.

Such forward-looking statements and information are subject to risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to OCGs operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity.
In addition to factors previously disclosed in Brookfields and OCGs reports filed with securities regulators in Canada and the United States and those identified elsewhere in this Current Report, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements and information or historical performance: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of Brookfield and OCG to terminate the definitive merger agreement between Brookfield and OCG; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Brookfield, OCG or their respective unitholders, shareholders or directors; the ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other closing conditions to the merger, including the risk that regulatory approvals required for the merger are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated or that are material and adverse to Brookfields or OCGs business; a delay in closing the merger; the ability to obtain approval by OCGs unitholders on the expected terms and schedule; business disruptions from the proposed merger that will harm Brookfields or OCGs business, including current plans and operations; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the merger; certain restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact Brookfields or OCGs ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the ability of Brookfield or OCG to retain and hire key personnel; uncertainty as to the long-term value of the Class A shares of Brookfield following the merger; the continued availability of capital and financing following the merger; the business, economic and political conditions in the markets in which Brookfield and OCG operate; changes in OCGs or Brookfields anticipated revenue and income, which are inherently volatile; changes in the value of OCGs or Brookfields investments; the pace of OCGs or Brookfields raising of new funds; changes in assets under management; the timing and receipt of, and impact of taxes on, carried interest; distributions from and liquidation of OCGs existing funds; the amount and timing of distributions on OCGs preferred units and Class A units; changes in OCGs operating or other expenses; the degree to which OCG or Brookfield encounters competition; and general political, economic and market conditions.
Any forward-looking statements and information speak only as of the date of this Current Report or as of the date they were made, and except as required by law, neither Brookfield nor OCG undertakes any obligation to update forward-looking statements and information. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, also see the information under the caption Business Environment and Risks in Brookfields most recent report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2018, and under the captions Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in OCGs most recent report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and in each case any material updates to these factors contained in any of Brookfields or OCGs future filings.
As for the forward-looking statements and information that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainties of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected and such differences could be material. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements and information.
