This news release includes forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties.
All statements within, other than statements of historical fact, are to be considered forward looking.
In providing forward-looking information in this press release, Libero has made numerous
assumptions regarding the Rights Offering, which Libero believes to be reasonable, including
assumptions relating to: (i) the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the completion of the
Rights Offering; and (ii) the outcome of the Rights Offering and related transactions, including the
expected use of proceeds. Forward-looking information entails various risks and uncertainties,
however that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-
looking information. Specific risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated or disclosed in this press release include, but are not limited to: (i) the dilution that will
be experienced by shareholders who do not exercise their Rights; (ii) failure to satisfy the
conditions to complete the Rights Offering, including failure to receive required approvals; (iii) the
delay of completion or failure to complete the Rights Offering for any other reason; (iv) no
assurance as to the ability to trade of any Rights; (v) the exercise of the Rights of a shareholder
being irrevocable; (vi) the exercise price may not indicate the value of the common shares; (vii)
failure of a shareholder to properly subscribe for shares may result in a non-exercise; (viii) the use
of funds may differ from that set out by Libero; (ix) if the Rights Offering is terminated,
shareholders will not receive any interest on funds forwarded with their subscriptions; In addition to
the above summary, additional risks and uncertainties inherent to the Company and the Rights
Offering are described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Rights Offering Circular. Forward-
looking information is not a guarantee of future performance, and management's assumptions

there can be no assurance that actual events or results will be consistent with the forward-looking
information disclosed herein. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in forward-looking
information, any such forward-looking information should not be regarded as representations by
Libero that our objectives or plans relating to the rights offering or standby commitment or
otherwise will be achieved. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-
looking information contained herein and that such forward-looking information are provided solely
