Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this press release contains statements concerning the anticipated completion of the Acquisition, the issuance of common shares pursuant to subscription receipts and the timing thereof, the timing of the consolidation and use of the proceeds from the Bought Deal Financing and CPPIB Investment.

Although TORC believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because TORC can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks.   These include the failure to close the Acquisition at the expected time or at all, the failure to obtain the required shareholder approval of the CPPIB Investment, the failure to receive required regulatory or stock exchange approvals on acceptable terms or at all or a delay in the listing of the subscription receipts issued pursuant to the Bought Deal Financing on the TSX.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof and TORC undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
