Forward-Looking Statements

This announcement may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Karman intends all forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and by the use of forward-looking words such as “expect,” “expectation,” “believe,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “belief,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “will” “should,” or similar terminology. These statements are based on and reflect Karman’s current expectations, estimates, assumptions and/ or projections, Karman’s perception of historical trends and current conditions, as well as other factors that Karman believes are appropriate and reasonable under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are neither predictions nor guarantees of future events, circumstances or performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause Karman’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated by those statements. There can be no assurance that Karman’s expectations, estimates, assumptions and/ or projections will prove to be correct or that any of Karman’s expectations, estimates or projections will be achieved.

Numerous factors could cause Karman’s actual results and events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, that a significant portion of Karman’s revenue is generated from contracts with the United States military and U.S. military spending is dependent upon the U.S. defense budget; U.S. government contracts are subject to a competitive bidding process that can consume significant resources without generating any revenue; Karman’s business and operations expose Karman to numerous legal and regulatory requirements, and any violation of these requirements could materially adversely affect Karman’s business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition; Karman’s inability to adequately enforce and protect its intellectual property or defend against assertions of infringement could prevent or restrict its ability to compete; and Karman has in the past consummated acquisitions and intends to continue to pursue acquisitions, and Karman’s business may be adversely affected if it cannot consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or if it cannot effectively integrate acquired operations. Readers are directed to the risk factors identified in the preliminary prospectus supplement and related base prospectus for the Offering and the other filings Karman makes with the SEC from time to time, copies of which are available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov under Karman Holdings Inc.

The forward-looking statements included in this announcement are only made as of the date of this announcement. Factors or events that could cause Karman’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Karman to predict all of them. Karman may not currently achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in its forward-looking statements, including statements with respect to the Offering, and you should not place undue reliance on Karman’s forward-looking statements. Karman undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable law.
