Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements
contained in this release include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws and “forward-looking
information” within the meaning of Canadian securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). Forward-looking
statements herein include, in particular, statements relating to the anticipated closing of the BigIron acquisition and other subjects
of this release that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by such words as “aim”,
“anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”,
“intend”, “may”, “ongoing”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “will”,
“should”, “would”, “could”, “likely”, “generally”, “future”,
“long-term”, or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. It
is uncertain whether any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what
impact they will have on the results of operations and financial condition of RB Global's common shares. Therefore, you should not place
undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results
to differ materially, including but not limited to risks and uncertainties relating to: our ability to drive shareholder value; potential
growth and market opportunities; the level of participation in our auctions and the success of our online marketplaces; our ability to
grow our businesses, acquire new customers, enhance our sector reach, drive geographic depth, and scale our operations; the impact of
our initiatives, services, investments, and acquisitions on us and our customers; the acquisition or disposition of properties; potential
future mergers and acquisitions; our ability to integrate acquisitions; our future capital expenditures and returns on those expenditures;
our ability to add new business and information solutions, including, among others, our ability to maximize and integrate technology
to enhance our existing services and support additional value-added service offerings; the supply trend of equipment and vehicles in
the market and the anticipated price environment, as well as the resulting effect on our business and Gross Transaction Value (“GTV”);
our compliance with laws, rules, regulations, and requirements that affect our business; effects of various economic, financial, industry,
and market conditions or policies, including inflation, the supply and demand for property, equipment, or natural resources; the behavior
of commercial assets and vehicle pricing; the relative percentage of GTV represented by straight commission or underwritten (guarantee
and inventory) contracts, and its impact on revenues and profitability; our future capital expenditures and returns on those expenditures;
the effect of any currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations on our results of operations; the effect of any tariffs on our results
of operations; the grant and satisfaction of equity awards pursuant to our compensation plans; any future declaration and payment of
dividends, including the tax treatment of any such dividends; financing available to us from our credit facilities or other sources,
our ability to refinance borrowings, and the sufficiency of our working capital to meet our financial needs; our ability to satisfy our
present operating requirements and fund future growth through existing working capital, credit facilities and debt; misappropriation
of data or cybersecurity incidents; and, failure to comply with privacy and data protection laws. Other risks that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements are included in “Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors”,
and the section titled "Summary of Risk Factors", in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as
such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only
as of the date hereof. While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be
a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Many of these risk factors are outside of our control, and as such, they
involve risks which are not currently known that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or implied herein.
RB Global does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information, future
events, changes in its expectations or other circumstances that exist after the date as of which the forward-looking statements were
made, except as required by law.
