. Our ability to successfully implement our business strategy depends to a significant extent on the continued service and performance of Mr. Jacobs. The loss of Mr. Jacobs’ services could impair our ability to execute our business plan and could, therefore, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The past performance by Brad Jacobs or our management team may not be indicative of future performance or results.

Past performance by Brad Jacobs or our management team, including transactions in which they have participated and businesses with which they have been associated, may not be representative of our future performance or the returns the Company will generate going forward. Our financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control. You should not rely on the historical record of Mr. Jacobs or our management team as indicative of the future performance of an investment of our Company.

Our success depends upon the retention of our senior management as well as our ability to attract and retain key talent.

Our continued success depends, in part, on the efforts and abilities of our senior management team and other key employees. While certain of our executive officers and key employees are subject to long-term compensatory arrangements, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain all key members of our senior management. Difficulties in hiring or retaining key executive or other employee talent, or the unexpected loss of experienced employees, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Acquisitions

The failure to consummate acquisitions expeditiously, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, results of operations or the price of our common stock.

Acquisitions are an important component of our business strategy, as we intend to operate a company focused on building products distribution, but currently do not have any operations in this sector. Acquisition opportunities are likely to arise from time to time, and any such acquisition could be significant. The evaluation of each specific acquisition target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant transaction agreements and other ancillary documents, disclosure documents and other instruments, requires substantial management time and attention, as well as costs related to fees payable to counsel, accountants and other third parties. Our ability to consummate an acquisition is dependent on a number of factors and conditions that require time, attention and collaboration across multiple parties, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals of the contemplated transaction.
