Forward-looking statements, and any related oral statements, can be identified by the use of terms such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “outlook,” “budget,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “guidance,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the expected timing and completion of the proposed transaction between Weatherford and NCS, anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, and plans and expectations for the new combined company after the completion of the proposed transaction. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs of Weatherford’s and NCS’s management and are subject to significant risks, assumptions, and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated in our forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are only estimates and may\n\ndiffer materially from actual future events or results, based on factors including but not limited to the ability to complete the proposed transaction on the timeframe or on the terms currently anticipated or at all, including due to a failure to obtain requisite regulatory approvals; risks related to difficulties, inabilities or delays in integrating the parties’ businesses; the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including estimated synergies; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of either or both parties to terminate the Merger Agreement; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the proposed transaction on the parties’ stock price and on their respective business, contractual and operational relationships; risks related to business disruptions from the proposed transaction that may harm the business or current plans and operations of either or both parties, including diversion of management time from ongoing business operations; the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of either or both parties to hire and retain key personnel; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Weatherford or NCS, or their respective directors; the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events, or unforeseen or unknown liabilities; as well as the factors and risks described in Weatherford’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and NCS’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and, in each case, in subsequent filings with the SEC. Other unpredictable factors not discussed in this communication could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any of Weatherford’s or NCS’s forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Weatherford and NCS undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly."}
