Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. SPAC’s and the Company’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. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results, including factors that are outside of SPAC’s and the Company’s control and that are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions in general and in the entertainment industry in particular, (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against SPAC, the Company or Pubco following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, (3) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the risk that any regulatory approvals or the SEC’s declaration of the effectiveness of the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the transaction are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect Pubco or the expected benefits of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or that the approval of the requisite equity holders of SPAC is not obtained, (4) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (5) volatility in the price of SPAC’s or Pubco’s securities, (6) the risk that the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement disrupt current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation thereof, (7) the enforceability of the Company’s intellectual property, including its patents, and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others, cyber security risks or potential breaches of data security, (8) any failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (9) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the Company, (10) risks related to the rollout of the Company’s business and the timing of expected business milestones, (11) the effects of competition on the Company’s business, (12) the risk that the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may not be completed by SPAC’s deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of its business combination deadline if sought by SPAC, (13) the amount of redemption requests made by stockholders of SPAC, (14) the ability of SPAC, the Company or Pubco to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or in the future, (15) and those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement, SPAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023, and other documents SPAC has filed, or will file, with the SEC.

SPAC cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Although SPAC believes the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K 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 SPAC and the Company presently do not know of or that SPAC and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. SPAC cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither SPAC nor the Company undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits hereto shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Mergers. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.
