Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Founder’s and Rubicon’s 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.

Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Founder and Rubicon following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (2) the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain the approval of the shareholders of Founder, approvals or other determinations from certain regulatory authorities, or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (3) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or that could otherwise cause the transactions contemplated therein to fail to close; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the combined company’s shares on the New York Stock Exchange following the Business Combination; (5) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and to retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the Business Combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the possibility that Rubicon or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (10) the combined company’s ability to raise financing in the future and to comply with restrictive covenants related to long-term indebtedness; (11) the impact of COVID-19 on Rubicon’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Business Combination; and (12) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Registration Statement and other documents filed, or to be filed, by Founder with the SEC. Founder cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Although Founder believes the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, nothing in this press release should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements or projections set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements or projections will be achieved. There may be additional risks that Founder and Rubicon presently do not know of or that they currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Founder cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither Founder nor Rubicon undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law. No Offer or Solicitation

Rubicon Announces the Launch of RUBICONSelect™ Buying Program for Haulers

A.N. Webber will turn 75
A.N. Webber Inc. will celebrate its 75th year of business in 2022, having grown from a one truck gravel hauling side job to more than 280 employees driving 200 late model Peterbilt’s with four locations and a robust freight brokerage team. The company was founded in 1947 by Albert “Neal” Webber, Sr., who bought a 1941 International KB8 semi to haul gravel for a local Kankakee, Illinois, quarry. He had driven for his brother previously and decided to branch  off on his own. By 1958 A.N. “Neal” Webber, Jr. joined his father in the family  business after an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army, along with his wife, Dee. Within a few years the family business had  expanded from dump box trailers to flatbed services, hauling rebar out of a  local mill in Kankakee Illinois for the creation of the Interstate Highway  System. Neal Jr. drove trucks while Dee ran the office. Neal Senior retired in 1975 as Alan  N. Webber graduated from high school and became the third generation Webber in the transportation company, working for his father. Over the  ensuing years, many family members worked at the company. By 1980, during a  raging blizzard, the Webber’s moved the operation to a new, larger facility on  the south side of Kankakee. In the 1980s, the company opened a terminal in McBee, S.C., and purchased Strassy Service System, which provided a larger geographic delivery capability within the state of Illinois, when  freight transportation was still highly regulated for intra-state traffic. Alan  Webber became president of the various Webber companies and central operations  were moved to McBee. The company expanded into Mexico in the 90s. Also, in 1991 Neal Junior purchased a building in Kankakee, renaming the facility South Tec Development  Corp. With more than one million square feet of space, the former manufacturing plant  was recreated to a business offering warehouse and manufacturing space. The building  was quickly filled with tenants, including Webber moving their corporate office  in, where it still resides today. Alan launched the company into the  logistics business in 2005, naming it A.N. Webber Logistics, Inc. In 2018,  Alan’s son, Zach Webber, fresh from a five-year stint with a larger logistics  company, came aboard to run A.N. Webber Logistics as its vice president. The now robust brokerage division had doubled revenue over the last year and  tripled headcount. The logistics division now accounts for more than 50% of the  revenue, and additional growth is planned. Albert Neal Webber, Jr. passed away in 2016 and Alan Webber assumed the role of CEO. Alan’s  nephew, Todd Perzee, was named as president of Webber to oversee the day-to-day  operations. Todd, the son Alan’s sister Kae Webber is the fourth generation of the family to oversee the operation. U.S. ports get grants funds from DOT
Christmas came early for many U.S. ports, as last week the U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary announced the award of more than $241 million in discretionary grant funding for 25 projects to improve port facilities in 19 states and one territory through the Maritime Administration’s (MARAD) Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP). The state of Georgia was awarded funding for Garden City's Colonel’s Island Berth #4. The project will construct a fourth roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) vessel berth at the Port of Brunswick’s Colonel's Island Terminal in order to add needed capacity at the nation’s second busiest Ro-Ro cargo port and more efficiently accommodate the larger 7,000-plus-unit vehicle carrier vessels that are becoming the industry standard for Ro-Ro ships calling at U.S. ports. The projects that were awarded grants include coastal seaports, Great Lakes ports, and inland river ports. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 PIDP includes priorities related to job creation, climate change, and environmental justice impacts. Commercial Credit, Inc. acquires Keystone Equipment Finance 
Commercial  Credit, Inc. (CCI), a Charlotte-based equipment and accounts receivable finance  company and the parent company of Commercial Credit Group Inc. (CCG) and  Commercial Funding Inc., has acquired Keystone  Equipment Finance Corp. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Based  in Connecticut, Keystone Equipment Finance Corp. provides small-ticket equipment  financing specializing in the transportation and construction related industries. Keystone will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of CCI, gaining and  leveraging CCI’s extensive resources. Keystone’s operations and management will  remain in place, with no expected change in personnel. CCI President and CEO Dan  McDonough said the Keystone acquisition is  highly attractive as it expands his company's transaction range in the industries it serves. Related Stories
