Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Neither Astrea, HotelPlanner.com, Reservations.com nor any of their
respective affiliates makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this Current
Report on Form 8-K. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person
may desire in considering the Transactions. It is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect
of the proposed Transactions.
The exhibit furnished herewith includes “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed Transactions between Astrea, HotelPlanner.com, and Reservations.com
including statements regarding the benefits of the Transactions, the anticipated timing of the Transactions, the business of HotelPlanner.com
and the markets in which it operates. Astrea’s, HotelPlanner.com’s, and Reservations.com’s actual results may differ
from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions
of future events. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “aspire,” “expect,” “estimate,”
“project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,”
“may,” “will,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “could,”
“should,” “believe(s),” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “future,”
“opportunity,” “strategy,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Astrea’s, HotelPlanner.com’s, and Reservations.com’s expectations
with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the proposed Transactions.
These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties
that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Many of these factors are outside the control of Astrea,
HotelPlanner.com, and Reservations.com and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited
to: the risk that the benefits of the Transactions may not be realized; the risk that the Transactions may not be completed in a timely
manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Astrea’s securities; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation
of the Transactions, including the failure of Astrea’s stockholders to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement or the failure of
Astrea to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) following redemptions by its stockholders; the occurrence
of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings
that may be initiated following announcement of the Transactions; the combined company’s continued listing on Nasdaq; the risk that
the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of HotelPlanner.com and/or Reservations.com as a result of the announcement
and consummation of the Transactions; costs related to the Transactions; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that
the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; the impact of COVID-19 or other
adverse public health developments; and other risks and uncertainties that will be detailed in the Proxy Statement and as indicated from
time to time in Astrea’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These filings identify
and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained
in the forward-looking statements.
Astrea, HotelPlanner.com, and Reservations.com caution that the foregoing
list of factors is not exclusive. Astrea, HotelPlanner.com, and Reservations.com caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither Astrea, HotelPlanner.com, nor Reservations.com undertake or
accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change
in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
