Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference herein, including those that express management’s expectations or estimates of
future developments or AirBoss’ future performance, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws,
and can generally be identified by words such as “will”, “may”, “could” “expects”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “forecasts”, “plans”, “intends” or
similar expressions. These statements are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections
regarding future events and performance.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of opinions, estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable
by management at the time the statements are made, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks,
uncertainties and contingencies. AirBoss cautions that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown contingencies,
uncertainties and other risks that may cause AirBoss’ actual financial results, performance or achievements to be materially different from its
estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Numerous factors could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation: impact of general
economic conditions; its dependence on key customers; cyclical trends in the tire and automotive, construction, mining and retail industries;
sufficient availability of raw materials at economical costs; weather conditions affecting raw materials, production and sales; AirBoss’ ability
to maintain existing customers or develop new customers in light of increased competition; AirBoss’ ability to successfully integrate
acquisitions of other businesses and/or companies or to realize on the anticipated benefits thereof; changes in accounting policies and methods,
including uncertainties associated with critical accounting assumptions and estimates; changes in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to
the US dollar; changes in tax laws and potential litigation; ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms; environmental damage caused by it
and non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations; potential product liability and warranty claims and equipment malfunction.
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of AirBoss’ forward-looking statements.
All of the forward-looking information in this presentation is expressly qualified by these cautionary statements. Investors are cautioned not to
put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to AirBoss or
persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this notice. Forward-looking information contained herein is made as of
the date of this presentation and, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, AirBoss disclaims any intent or obligation
to update publicly these forward-looking statements except as required by applicable laws. Risks and uncertainties about AirBoss’s business
are more fully discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2016 Annual
Report to Shareholders under the heading “Risk Factors”.

This presentation has been prepared by AirBoss of America Corp. (“AirBoss”) for the sole purpose of providing preliminary information regarding
AirBoss and its subsidiaries, and is not intended to provide all available information about AirBoss. The material presented is not intended to
modify, qualify, supplement or amend any information disclosed under corporate and securities legislation of any jurisdiction and should not be
relied upon as a representation of any matter that a potential investor should consider in evaluating AirBoss or used for the purposes of making
investment decisions concerning AirBoss Securities.
This presentation is not intended as and shall not constitute an offer, invitation, solicitation, or recommendation with respect to the purchase or sale
of any securities of AirBoss in any jurisdiction.
Non -IFRS Financial Measures
Within this presentation, AirBoss may disclose financial measures such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS.
These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Such measures are neither required by, nor calculated in accordance
with IFRS, and therefore are considered Non-IFRS financial measures. AirBoss discloses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as financial measurements
used by interested parties and investors to monitor the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations for debt service, financing working
capital and capital expenditures and paying dividends. They should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (or
any other IFRS financial measure) as an indicator of the company’s performance. Because EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net
income, the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
EBITDA represents earnings before interest income, interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share-based
compensation expenses.
Adjusted Net Income represents net income, before deduction for share-based compensation expenses.
Adjusted EPS represents the net income per share, before deduction for share-based compensations expenses.
