CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking
statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) regarding future events and future results. Words such as
anticipate, believe, can, could, designed, estimate, expect, forecast, future, goal, intend, likely,
may, plan, project, propose, seek, should, target, will and would, as well as similar expressions which predict or indicate future events and
trends or which do not relate to historical matters, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including
statements regarding: our recently completed acquisition of Lima; the impacts of the completed spin-off of ESAB Corporation into an independent publicly traded company (the Separation); the
anticipated benefits of the Separation; the expected financial and operating performance of, and future opportunities for the Company following the Separation; the impact of public health emergencies and global pandemics (including COVID-19); projections of revenue, profit margins, expenses, tax provisions and tax rates, earnings or losses from operations, impact of foreign exchange rates, cash flows, synergies or other financial items;
plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations including statements relating to potential acquisitions, compensation plans or purchase commitments; developments, performance, industry or market rankings relating to products or
services; future economic conditions or performance, including the impact of increasing inflationary pressures; the outcome of outstanding claims or legal proceedings; potential gains and recoveries of costs; assumptions underlying any of the
foregoing; and any other statements that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future.
We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about future events
and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our
statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results,
and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that can be difficult to predict and/or are outside of our control. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements. You are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement or, in the case of statements incorporated by reference herein, as of the date of the incorporated document.
Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the sections titled
Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as in our press releases and other filings with the SEC. Except as required by applicable law,
we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
