NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
information in this press release contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the proposed business combination. These
forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity,"
"plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will
continue," "will likely result" and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement
is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based
on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from their
expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future
events. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release,
including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the business combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may
adversely affect the price of Alset's securities; (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the business
combination, including the approval of the business combination agreement by the stockholders of Alset; (iii) the occurrence of any event,
change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement; (iv) the outcome of any legal
proceedings that may be instituted against any of the parties to the business combination agreement following the announcement of the
entry into the business combination agreement and proposed business combination; (v) the ability of the parties to recognize the benefits
of the business combination agreement and the business combination; (vi) the lack of useful financial information for an accurate estimate
of future capital expenditures and future revenue; (vii) statements regarding HWH's industry and market size; (viii) financial
condition and performance of HWH, including the anticipated benefits, the implied enterprise value, the expected financial impacts of
the business combination, potential level of redemptions of HWH's public stockholders, the financial condition, liquidity, results
of operations, the products, the expected future performance and market opportunities of HWH and (ix) those factors discussed in Alset's
filings with the SEC and that are contained in the registration statement on Form S-4 and the related proxy statement relating
to the business combination. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that are
described in the "Risk Factors" section of the registration statement on Form S-4 and related proxy statement and other documents
to be filed by Alset 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 while HWH
and Alset may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they assume no obligation to update or revise
these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, subject to applicable law. Neither
