These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
regarding the Sponsor's intention to convert its 6,684,500 Class B Shares. Such
forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of New Vista's management,
as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, New
Vista's management, and are not predictions of actual performance. These
forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a
guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or
probability. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by
the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to
a number of risks and uncertainties, including: the risk that the approval of
the shareholders of New Vista of the proposal for an extension of time for New
Vista to complete a business combination from February 19, 2023, to February 19,
2024 is not obtained; New Vista's ability to enter into a definitive agreement;
the risk that the approval of the shareholders of New Vista for the potential
business combination is not obtained; the failure to obtain the necessary
financing for the potential business combination; the amount of redemption
requests made by New Vista's shareholders and the amount of funds remaining in
New Vista's trust account after satisfaction of such requests; those factors
discussed in New Vista's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") on March 31, 2022 (the "Annual Report") under the heading "Risk
Factors," and other documents of New Vista filed, or to be filed, with the SEC.
If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could
differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.
There may be additional risks that New Vista presently does not know or that New
Vista currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to
differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. New Vista
undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes
after the date of this release, except as required by law.
