Following such appointment, the committees of the Board currently consist of the following directors:

 

·Audit Committee: Ivan Delevic (Chairman), Karim Karti and Manuel Aguero, all of whom are independent directors.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed Business Combination between MedTech and Memic. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of the words such as "estimate," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "may," "target," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements as to the expected timing, completion and effects of the Business Combination, are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Memic's and MedTech's management, are not predictions of actual performance, and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of MedTech; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement; the amount of redemption requests made by MedTech’s public stockholders; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Business Combination on Memic’s business; risks that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Memic; challenges to Memic in the manufacture, commercialization and marketing of its medical device products; the availability, adoption and use of the Hominis® Surgical System and the timing thereof; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, the ability of Memic to grow, manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; Memic’s estimates of its financial performance; changes in general economic or political conditions; changes in the markets in which Memic competes; the impact of natural disasters or health epidemics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; legislative or regulatory changes; industry risks related to the medical device and medical technology industries; competition; conditions related to Memic’s operations in Israel; risks related to data security and privacy; changes to accounting principles and guidelines; potential litigation relating to the proposed business combination; the ability to obtain and maintain the listing of Memic’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market; the price of Memic’s securities may be volatile; the ability to implement business plans, and other expectations after the completion of the Business Combination; and unexpected costs or expenses. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of MedTech's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as amended (File No. 001-39813), and MedTech's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-251037), Memic's registration statement on Form F-4, as amended (File No. 333-259925), and other documents should be carefully considered, if and when filed by Memic or MedTech from time to time with SEC. If any of these risks materialize or these assumptions prove incorrect, actual events and results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Memic nor MedTech presently know or that Memic and MedTech currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual events and results to differ. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Memic's and MedTech's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date they are made. Memic and MedTech anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Memic's and MedTech's assessments to change. While Memic and MedTech may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Memic and MedTech specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, unless required by applicable law.
