Item 8.01. Other Events

On September 8, 2015, CECO Environmental Corp. (“CECO”) issued a press release announcing the completion of its acquisition of PMFG, Inc. (“PMFG”).

For additional information concerning the foregoing, a copy of the press release dated September 8, 2015 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements

Any statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K other than statements of historical fact, including statements about management’s beliefs and expectations of the merger and related transactions and future results, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be evaluated accordingly. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions regarding future events and business performance. Words such as “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “target,” “should,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions and their negative forms are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. These risks and uncertainties include the ability to successfully integrate CECO’s and PMFG’s operations, product lines, technologies and employees; the ability to realize revenue and customer growth opportunities, combined revenue goals, marketing and cost synergies from the merger between CECO and PMFG in a timely manner or at all; factors related to the businesses of CECO and PMFG including economic, political and financial market conditions generally and economic conditions in CECO’s and PMFG’s target markets; dependence on fixed-price contracts and the risks associated with those contracts, including actual costs exceeding estimates and method of accounting for contract revenue; fluctuations in operating results from period-to-period due to cyclicality of the businesses; the effect of the merger and related transactions on each of CECO’s and PMFG’s infrastructure, resources, and existing sales; the ability to expand operations in both new and existing markets; the potential for contract delay or cancellation; changes in or developments with respect to any litigation or investigation; unknown, underestimated or undisclosed commitments or liabilities; the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the transactions on the parties’ relationships with third parties, which may make it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; the substantial amount of debt expected to be incurred in connection with the merger and CECO’s ability to repay or refinance it, incur additional debt in the future or obtain a certain debt coverage ratio; diversion of management time from each of CECO’s and PMFG’s ongoing operations; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations; and the effect of competition in the air pollution control and industrial ventilation industry.

These and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail in CECO’s and PMFG’s current and future filings with the SEC, including the final prospectus/proxy statement under the heading “Risk Factors,” which was filed by each of CECO and PMFG on July 31, 2015, CECO’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” which was filed with the SEC on March 18, 2015 and PMFG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2014 under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” which was filed with the SEC on September 10, 2014. Many of these risks are beyond management’s ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only as of the date the statement is made. All forward-looking statements attributable to CECO or PMFG or persons acting on behalf of either CECO or PMFG are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements and risk factors contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and CECO’s and PMFG’s respective filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of the SEC, neither CECO nor PMFG undertakes any obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
