Previous wording
The Company will not control the LSP Portfolio until completion of the proposed acquisition and the assets, liabilities, business, financial condition, cash flows, operating results and prospects of the LSP Portfolio to be acquired or assumed by the Company could be negatively impacted before or after the closing as a result of previously unknown events or conditions occurring or existing before the acquisition closes.
