, administrative or court proceedings and civil or criminal monetary fines and penalties as a result of any enforcement actions, all of which could harm ABTC’s business, financial condition and results of operations. ABTC may be subject to substantial environmental or energy regulation and may be adversely affected by legislative or regulatory changes. ABTC’s business is subject to extensive U.S. and Canadian federal, state, provincial and local laws. Compliance with or changes to, the requirements under these legal and regulatory regimes may cause ABTC to incur significant additional costs or adversely impact ABTC’s ability to compete on favorable terms with competitors. ABTC’s plans and strategic initiatives are based, in part, on ABTC’s understanding of current environmental and energy regulations, policies and initiatives. If new regulations are imposed or if existing regulations are modified, the assumptions made underlying ABTC’s plans and strategic initiatives may be inaccurate and ABTC may incur additional costs to adapt its plans, if ABTC is able to adapt them at all, to such changes. Failure to comply with such requirements could result in the shutdown of non -complyingoperations, the imposition of liens, fines and/or civil or criminal liability, costly litigation or substantial delays or modifications to ABTC’s operations or strategic initiatives. Changes to these laws and regulations could result in temporary or permanent restrictions on ABTC’s operations. Compliance with or opposing such regulation, may be costly.

New legislation and increased regulation regarding climate change could impose significant costs on ABTC and its suppliers, including costs related to increased energy requirements, capital equipment, environmental monitoring and reporting and other costs to comply with such regulations. Further, any future climate change regulations could also negatively impact ABTC’s ability to compete with companies situated in areas not subject to such limitations. Given the political significance and uncertainty around the impact of climate change and how it should be addressed, ABTC cannot predict how legislation and regulation will affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, even without such regulation, increased awareness and any adverse publicity in the global marketplace about potential impacts on climate change by us or other companies in AB
