Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or events that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of Above Food’s and the Company’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 Above Food and the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (i) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (ii) the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Transaction, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company, the expected benefits of the Proposed Transaction or that the approval of the stockholders of the Company or Above Food is not obtained, any of the other conditions to closing are not satisfied or that events or other circumstances give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement relating to the Proposed Transaction; (iii) changes to the structure of the Proposed Transaction that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals; (iv) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Proposed Transaction; (v) the risk that the Proposed Transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Above Food as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Proposed Transaction; (vi) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (vii) costs related to the Proposed Transaction; (viii) changes in applicable law or regulations; (ix) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Above Food; (x) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or Above Food; (xi) the effects of competition on Above Food’s future business; (xii) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Above Food’s business; (xiii) the ability of the Company or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the Proposed Transaction or in the future; (xiv) the enforceability of Above Food’s intellectual property rights, including its copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets, and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others; (xv) Above Food’s ability to execute its planned acquisition strategy, including to successfully integrate completed acquisitions and realize anticipated synergies; and (xvi) those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the preliminary Registration Statement filed by TopCo with the SEC on October 16, 2023, and other documents filed, or to be filed, by the Company and/or TopCo with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither the Company nor Above Food presently know or that the Company or Above Food 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 reflect the Company’s and Above Food’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company and Above Food anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause the Company’s and Above Food’s assessments to change. However, while the Company and Above Food may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company and Above Food specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Certain market data information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is based on the estimates of Above Food and the Company’s management. Above Food and the Company obtained the industry, market and competitive position data used throughout this Current Report on Form 8-K from internal estimates and research as well as from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Above Food and the Company believe their estimates to be accurate as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. However, this information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by which Above Food or the Company obtained some of the data for its estimates or because this information cannot always be verified due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data and the voluntary nature of the data gathering process.

The recipient acknowledges that it is (i) aware that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has material, non - public information concerning a company from purchasing or selling securities of such company or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities, and (ii) familiar with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), and that the recipient will neither use, nor cause any third party to use, this Presentation or any information contained herein in contravention of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 10b - 5 thereunder. FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS This Presentation includes “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward - looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target”, or negatives of these terms or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics, and projections of market opportunity and market share. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Presentation, and on the current expectations of the Company and its 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 the Company. These forward - looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (i) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political conditions, and in laws and regulations; (ii) the inability of the parties to timely consummate the proposed Business Combination or at all, which may adversely affect the price of BAC’s securities, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, including the requisite approvals of BAC’s and Above Food’s stockholders, the satisfaction of the minimum available cash amount following any redemptions by BAC’s public stockholders, and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement relating to the proposed Business Combination, if and when executed; (v) costs related to the proposed Business Combination and the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination or to realize estimated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder redemptions; (vi) the ability to maintain the listing of BAC’s or PubCo’s securities on a national securities exchange; (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against BAC, Above Food or PubCo related to the business combination agreement or the proposed Business Combination, (viii) risks related to the uncertainty of Above Food’s projected financial information, (ix) the ability of the combined company to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed Business Combination, and the ability of the combined company to identify and realize additional opportunities; (x) changes in the competitive industries in which Above Food operates and variations in operating performance across competitors; (xi) the ability of Above Food to retain existing customers and attract new customers, (xii) the potential inability of Above Food to manage growth effectively, (xiii) the enforceability of Above Food’s intellectual property rights, including its copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets, and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others, (xiv) Above Food’s dependence on senior management and other key employees; (xv) Above Food’s ability to execute its planned acquisition strategy, including to successfully integrate completed acquisitions and realize anticipated synergies; and (xvi) the ability of BAC, the Company or PubCo to issue equity or equity - linked securities in connection with the proposed Business Combination or in the future. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. The recipient should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties which are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of the proxy/registration statement discussed below and other documents filed by BAC or PubCo from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). If any of these risks materialize or the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward - looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither BAC nor the Company presently know or that they 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 reflect BAC and AF’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. BAC, the Company, PubCo and their respective representatives and affiliates specifically disclaim any obligation to, and do not intend to, update or revise these forward - looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. These forward - looking statements should not be relied upon as representing BAC’s, the Company’s, PubCo’s or any of their respective representatives’ or affiliates’ assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward - looking statements. These forward - looking statements speak only as of the date of this Presentation and none of the Company, BAC, or any of their respective representatives or affiliates have any obligation to update this Presentation. This Presentation contains preliminary information only, is subject to change at any time and is not, and should not be assumed to be, complete or to constitute all the information necessary to adequately make an informed decision regarding a potential investment in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

We go above. © 2022 Above Food Corp. USE OF PROJECTIONS This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to AF, namely the Company’s projected and pro forma revenue, revenue CAGR, gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024. Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such projected financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projected financial information. See “Forward - Looking Statements” above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the projected financial information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation (and any other information, whether written or oral, that has been or will be provided to you) should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved. Neither the independent auditors of BAC nor the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation and, accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In connection with the proposed Business Combination, PubCo filed a proxy/registration statement with the SEC that included a preliminary proxy statement of BAC and constituted a preliminary prospectus of PubCo. The proxy statement and other relevant documents will be mailed to the shareholders of BAC upon the proxy/registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, and it contains important information about the proposed Business Combination and related matters. This Presentation does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed Business Combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the proposed Business Combination. BAC stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the proxy/registration statement and other documents filed in connection with the proposed Business Combination because these materials will contain important information about the parties to the business combination agreement, the Company, BAC and the proposed Business Combination. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the proxy statement, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. PARTICIPANTS IN SOLICITATION BAC, the Company, PubCo and their respective directors, managers and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from BAC shareholders in connection with the proposed Business Combination . BAC shareholders and other interested persons may obtain more detailed information regarding the directors and officers of BAC in BAC’s annual report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2022 , which was filed with the SEC on March 31 , 2023 , which is available free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www . sec . gov . Additional information regarding the interests of the persons who may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from BAC's shareholders is available in the preliminary proxy/registration statement filed by PubCo, available on the SEC's website at www . sec . gov . FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NON - GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES The financial information and data contained herein have been prepared on the basis of a fiscal year ending on January 31 of each year, for example fiscal year ended 2021 ended on January 31, 2021 and fiscal year ended 2022 ended on January 31, 2022, and as such may not be comparable with the financial information and data of other companies, including our competitors, who do not use the same fiscal year end. This Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including, but not limited to, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and certain pro forma financial data, in each case presented on a non - GAAP basis, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization adjusted for non - recurring items that are infrequent or abnormal to the company’s normal operations resulting from discontinued operations, extraordinary items, unusual or infrequent items, and changes resulting from changes in accounting policies/principles, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues. These non - GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly - titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that these non - GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. These non - GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures. This Presentation also includes certain projections of non - GAAP financial measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures is included. INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA This Presentation has been prepared by BAC and AF and includes market data and other statistical information from third - party sources, including independent industry publications, governmental publications and other published independent sources. Some data is also based on the estimates of BAC and AF, which are derived from their review of internal sources as well as the third - party sources described above. None of BAC, the Company or any of their respective representatives or affiliates has independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness. TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES BAC and AF own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses. This Presentation also contains trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners. The use or display of third parties’ trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this Presentation is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with BAC or AF, or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of BAC or the Company. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks and trade names referred to in this Presentation may appear without the ©, TM or SM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that BAC, or AF or the applicable rights owner will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, their rights or the right of the applicable licensor to these trademarks, service marks and trade names.
