These statements are based on the current expectations of North Mountain’s and Corcentric’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on, by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of North Mountain and Corcentric. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties regarding Corcentric’s businesses and the ~~transaction~~Transaction, and actual results may differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, ability to meet the closing conditions to the ~~transaction~~Transaction, including approval by stockholders of North Mountain and Corcentric on the expected terms and schedule and the risk that regulatory approvals required for the ~~transaction~~Transaction are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; delay in closing the ~~transaction~~Transaction; failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed ~~transaction~~Transaction; a decline in the price of our securities following the ~~transaction~~Transaction if it fails to meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts; the amount of redemption requests made by North Mountain’s public stockholders; the ability of North Mountain or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the ~~transaction~~Transaction or in the future; the effects of pending and future legislation; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed ~~transaction~~ Transaction; business disruption following the ~~transaction~~Transaction; risks related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition and results of operations of North Mountain and Corcentric; risks related to North Mountain’s or Corcentric’s indebtedness; other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; Corcentric’s ability to maintain its current rate of growth; adjusting Corcentric’s cost structure to quickly reflect changes in revenues; maintenance and renewal of customer contracts and subscriptions; competition in the software and payments solutions industries; Corcentric’s ability to raise additional capital; reliance on Corcentric’s relationships with service providers and suppliers; the successful integration of potential targets, products, or technologies; Corcentric’s ability to improve its operational, financial, and management controls; Corcentric’s failure to offer high-quality customer support; Corcentric’s ability to maintain its revenues and margins while offering discounts for its private commerce network buyers and suppliers; Corcentric’s failure to maintain and enhance awareness of its brand; Corcentric’s failure to maintain contracts with private commerce network solutions buyers and suppliers; increased costs associated with being a public company; the unpredictable sales cycles of Corcentric’s end markets; risks associated with Corcentric’s brokerage activities as sellers of capital equipment; cybersecurity incidents; ability to prevent fraudulent activities by Corcentric’s customers, employees, or other third parties; potential interruptions or delays in third-party services; protection of proprietary rights; intellectual property infringement, data protection, and other losses; compliance with federal, state, and local laws as well as statutory and regulatory requirements; risks of implementing controls and procedures required for public companies following the ~~transaction~~Transaction; and the ability of Corcentric or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities with the proposed Transaction ~~transaction~~ or in the future; and those factors discussed in North Mountain’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A and other documents of North Mountain filed, or to be filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

If any of these risks materialize or if assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that North Mountain or Corcentric presently do not know or that North Mountain or Corcentric currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements provide North Mountain’s and Corcentric’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. North Mountain and Corcentric anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while North Mountain or Corcentric may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, North Mountain and Corcentric specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing North Mountain’s or Corcentric’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
