This part proves they're only pumping a merger story and a real merger is far off or impossible given the current state of shitgibbon. The below is not just regular boilerplate this time. They repeated it numerous times. This also includes an outside agency 'UAV' working against d-w-a-cked.

On February 20, 2024 and February 21, 2024, Digital World and TMTG, respectively, received email correspondence from counsel to United Atlantic Ventures, LLC (“UAV”) that sent the letters dated
January 18 and February 9, 2024 on UAV’s behalf (collectively, the “Initial 2024 Letters”). The February 20 and 21 emails stated that such counsel no longer represents UAV in the potential disputes referenced within such letters. See “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) – Information About Digital World – Legal Proceedings – United Atlantic Ventures.”
On February 16, 2024, TMTG received a letter from a counsel to UAV that did not author the Initial 2024 Letters (the “February 16 Letter”). Additionally, prior to receipt of the February 16 Letter, neither Digital World nor TMTG had received correspondence from such counsel on UAV’s behalf. Within the February 16 Letter, such counsel stated that UAV had the right to appoint two individuals to the TMTG board of directors, attempted to appoint two specific individuals as such directors and requested TMTG confirm by Tuesday, February 20 that it accepts such appointments.
As previously disclosed, assertions made by UAV, and the potential claims arising therefrom, could lead to substantial legal costs, distract management, and have adverse effects on the business operations and financial health of TMTG and/or the Combined Entity. See “— Potential claims and counterclaims related to TMTG may lead to legal disputes, which could prevent or delay the completion of the Business Combination or, if the Business Combination is completed, significantly impact the Combined Entity’s future performance, dilute existing and future investors, negatively impact investor confidence and market perception and materially and adversely affect the Combined Entity’s business, financial condition or results of operations.”
The February 16 Letter also highlights the potential that, as Closing approaches, various parties, including parties who may have political, economic or non-economic motivations, may seek to make opportunistic assertions or claims with respect to TMTG and/or Digital World, and may attempt to interfere with, substantially delay or entirely prevent consummation of the Business Combination.
