, any net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all. These integration costs may result in Mativ taking significant charges against earnings, and the amount and timing of such charges are uncertain at present.

Combining SWM and Neenah may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected, and Mativ may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the Merger. 

The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the ability to realize the anticipated cost savings, operational synergies and other perceived benefits from combining the businesses of SWM and Neenah. To realize the cost savings, operational synergies and other perceived benefits from the Merger, Mativ must successfully integrate and combine the two businesses in a manner that permits those benefits to be realized. If Mativ is not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. For example, the actual cost savings, operational synergies and other perceived benefits of the Merger could be less than anticipated or take longer to realize than anticipated for a variety of reasons, including those set forth in these Risk Factors.

It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the companies’ ability to maintain relationships with employees, customers, suppliers or other business associates and constituencies or to achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger. Integration efforts between the two companies may also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on Mativ during this transition period and for an undetermined period after completion of the Merger on the combined Company.

Mativ’s future results may suffer if it does not effectively manage its expanded operations following the Merger. 

Following the completion of the Merger, the size of our business increased significantly. Mativ’s future success will depend, in part, upon its ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that Mativ will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements or other benefits currently anticipated from the Merger.

We may not successfully integrate acquisitions into Mativ's operations and we may be unable to achieve anticipated cost savings or other synergies.
