the agreement and plan of merger by the stockholders of Golden Path and MC, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following

regulated industries in which MC plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting
MC’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xi) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other
expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities, (xii) the risk of downturns
in the economy across the world as a world of COVID 19, and (xiii) the impact of legislative, regulatory, competitive and technological
changes to MC’s business or product candidates, including those in China where MC operates. The foregoing list of factors is not
exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors”
section of Golden Path’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Form S-4 combined registration statement/proxy
statement discussed above and other documents filed by Golden Path from time to time with the 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. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, and MC and Golden Path assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither MC nor Golden Path gives any assurance that either MC or Golden Path
