RISKS OF PARTICIPATING IN THE OFFER
Participating in the Offer involves a number of risks, including those described below. In addition, the risks described below are not the only risks
facing ALX. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The risks described below, as well as
the risk factors in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for our fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Offer, highlight some of the material risks of participating in this Offer. You should
consider these risks carefully, and you are encouraged to speak with an investment and tax adviser as necessary before deciding whether to participate in the Offer. In addition, we urge you to read the sections in this Offer to Exchange discussing
the tax consequences of participating in the exchange of options pursuant to the Offer, as well as the rest of this Offer to Exchange document, for a more in depth discussion of the risks that may apply to you before deciding to participate in the
Offer.
In addition, this Offer and our SEC reports referred to above include forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, that are based on our managements beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by
the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as anticipates, believes, could, seeks,
estimates, expects, intends, may, plans, potential, predicts, projects, should, will, would, or similar expressions
and the negatives of those terms. These statements are based on our managements beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. The documents we file with the SEC, including the reports referred to above,
discuss some of the risks that could cause our actual results to differ from those contained or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified
below and those discussed in the section titled Risk factors included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30,
2024, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
Risks Related to
Participating in the Offer
Any new options granted to you in the Offer will be entirely unvested as of the new option grant date and will vest
over a prescribed time period. You may not exercise these options until they vest, and such vesting generally requires that you remain in the service of ALX or its subsidiaries. If your service with us terminates for any or no reason, your unvested
new options may expire automatically.
New options granted to you will be unvested as of the new option grant date and subject to a new vesting
schedule. This is true even if your exchanged options are already partially or 100% vested. Vesting generally requires the passage of time and that your services to us or any of our subsidiaries continue through each vesting date. If you do not
remain an employee or other service provider with us or any of our subsidiaries through each date your new options vest, you may not have the right to purchase all of the shares subject to those new options. Instead, the unvested portion of your new
options generally will expire immediately upon your termination. As a result, you may not receive any value from your new options. Nothing in the Offer should be construed to confer upon you the right to remain an employee of ALX or any of its
subsidiaries. The terms of your employment with us remain unchanged. We cannot guarantee or provide you with any assurance that you will not be subject to a termination of your services or that you will otherwise remain employed until the expiration
date and the new option grant date or thereafter.
Furthermore, although we currently are not anticipating a merger or acquisition, a transaction
involving us, such as a merger or other acquisition, could result in a reduction in our workforce. If your employment or other service with us or any of our subsidiaries terminates before part or all of your new options vest, you may not receive any
value from the unvested portion of the new options.
