These forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding SEDA, the Target or their respective management team s’ conclusions, expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future and/or future events or circumstances. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other chara cte rizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward - looking statements.

June 2024 NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD BE UNLAWFUL Strictly Private & Confidential Disclaimer 3 Such forward - looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to diffe r materially from those expressed or implied by such forward - looking statements.

 


 

 

 

Such factors include, but are not limited to, various factors beyond management’s control, including other risks and uncertainties se t forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the prospectus included in the registration statement on Form F - 4 filed by PubCo on May 16, 2024 with the SEC, as may be amended from time to time, the annual report on Form 10 - K filed by SEDA on April 16, 2024 and any subseq uent filings with the SEC by either SEDA or PubCo from time to time. Accordingly, any projections, modelling or analysis may differ materially and should not be viewed as fact ua l and should not be relied upon as an accurate or complete prediction of future results, events or circumstances. Further, the information contained in this Presentation may d eri ve, either in whole or in part, from various internal and external sources. No representation or warranty is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of an y projections, modeling or analysis or any other information contained in this Presentation. Any financial information in this Presentation (including specifically the projections) that are forward - looking s tatements are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond SEDA ’s and/or the Target's control. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially f rom those contained in the projections. In this presentation, we use a number of key operating metrics, including Full Added Value (FAV), and non - IFRS financial measure s, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which PubCo believes accurately, in all material respects, reflect the principal parameters of the Target’s historic performance. The financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and measures calculated based on these measures, that are not prepared in acc ordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") or international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”). These non - GAAP/non - IFRS measures, and other measures that are calculated using these non - GAAP/non - IFRS measures, are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP or IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or IFRS. The Target believes these non - GAAP/non - IFRS measures of financial results provide useful information to management and potential investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Target's financial condition and results of operations. The T arg et believes that the use of these non - GAAP/non - IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for potential investors to use in comparing the Target's financial condition and results of operations with o the r similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP/non - IFRS financial measures to investors. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non - GAAP / non - IFRS financial measures and their nearest GAAP / IFRS equivalents. For example, the Target’s definitions of non - GAAP / non - IFRS financial measures may differ from non - GAAP / non - IFRS financial measures used by other companies and theref ore the non - GAAP/non - IFRS measures in this Presentation may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP / IFRS measure, see Appendix A hereto. The Presentation and the information contained in it do not constitute an offer capable of acceptance or intended to otherwis e g ive rise to a binding contract. The Presentation and the information contained in it do not constitute a commitment of SEDA, PubCo or the Target to engage in the Initial Business Combination or to underwrite or place any financing or securities in relation t o any business combination. On February 20, 2024, SEDA, PubCo , Target and certain other parties, entered into a business combination agreement with respect to the Initial Business Combin ati on (the "BCA"). The BCA is subject to, among other things, the receipt of all necessary approvals (including regulatory approvals) and the finalization of the relevant ag ree ments to the satisfaction of the parties thereto (as therein provided). The information contained in this Presentation is based on present circumstances, economic and market conditions, assumptions , a nd beliefs. Neither SEDA or the Target has any obligation to update this Presentation or correct any inaccuracies or omissions it discovers following the date of this Presentation. SEDA is an “emerging growth company” as defined under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities A ct” ). SDCL is authorized and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority. The information contained herein does not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as, an o ffe r or invitation to purchase, subscribe for, underwrite or otherwise acquire, any securities of SEDA or any other person nor should it or any part of it form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, an y contract to purchase or subscribe for any securities of SEDA or any other person or in connection with any other contract or commitment whatsoever.

 


 

 

 

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD BE UNLAWFUL June 2024 Strictly Private & Confidential Disclaimer 4 The 2024 guidance, estimates and long - term targets in this Presentation prepared by each of cunova GmbH and KME Aerospace, respe ctively, are forward - looking statements and are subject to significant business, financial, economic, operating, competitive and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond th e control of each of cunova GmbH and KME Aerospace, respectively, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in their respective 2024 guidance, estimates and long - term targets.

As a result, you should not place undue reliance on these forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this P resentation and should not be regarded as an indication that each of cunova GmbH and KME Aerospace, respectively, or any of t hei r respective representatives considered or consider their respective 2024 guidance, estimates and long - term targets to be a reliable prediction of future events.
