This Investor Presentation is for informational purposes only and does not constitute (i) a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed Business Combination or (ii) an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase any equity, debt or other financial instruments of the SPAC or the Company, or their respective affiliates, which offer may only be made at the time a qualified offeree receives definitive offering documents and other materials (collectively, the "Offering Materials"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Investor Presentation does not constitute an invitation or inducement of any sort to any person in any jurisdiction in which such an invitation or inducement is not permitted or where the SPAC and the Company are not qualified to make such invitation or inducement. In the event of any conflict between this Investor Presentation and information contained in the Offering Materials, the information in the Offering Materials will control and supersede the information contained in this Investor Presentation. No person has been authorized to make any statement concerning the SPAC or the Company other than as will be set forth in the Offering Materials, and any representation or information not contained therein may not be relied upon. Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This Investor Presentation includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "may," "might," "will," "would," "could," "should," "forecast," "intend," "seek," "target," "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," "outlook" and "project" and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward-looking statements, which include estimated financial information, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. A number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the risk that the proposed Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of the securities of the SPAC or the Company; the risk that the proposed Business Combination may not be completed by the 24-month deadline to which the SPAC is subject and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the deadline if sought by the SPAC; the failure to satisfy conditions to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, including the adoption of a business combination agreement (the "BCA") by the shareholders of the SPAC and the Company; the lack of a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed Business Combination; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the BCA; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed Business Combination on the Company's business relationships, performance and business generally; risks that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or the SPAC related to the BCA or the proposed Business Combination; the ability to maintain the listing of the SPAC's securities on Nasdaq: the volatility of the price of the SPAC's and the post-combination company's securities; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts and other expectations after the completion of the proposed Business Combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities; the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which the Company operates; the risk that the Company and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize the Company's products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so; the risk that the post-combination company may not achieve or sustain profitability; the risk that the post-combination company will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; and the risk that the post-combination company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations. You should (also) carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described on pages 42 and 43 of this presentation Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, targets, opinions and/or beliefs of the SPAC and the Company or, when applicable, of one or more third-party sources. No representation or warranty is made with respect to the reasonableness of any estimates, forecasts, illustrations, prospects or returns, which should be regarded as illustrative only. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the SPAC's registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") and the proxy statement/prospectus discussed below and other documents filed by the SPAC from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which, unless otherwise indicated herein, speak only as of the date of this Investor Presentation. Neither SPAC nor the Company commits to update or revise the forward-looking statements set forth herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Use of Projections This Investor Presentation contains financial forecasts or projections (collectively "Projections") prepared by the Company. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the Projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Investor Presentation and, accordingly, neither the SPAC nor the Company expresses an opinion or provides any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Investor Presentation. These Projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The Projections are provided solely for illustrative purposes, reflect the current beliefs of the Company as of the date hereof, and are based on a variety of assumptions and estimates about, among others, future operating results, market conditions and transaction costs, all of which may differ from the assumptions on which the Projections are based. The Company does not assume any obligation to update the Projections or information, data, models, facts or assumptions underlying the foregoing in this Investor Presentation. There are numerous factors related to the markets in general or the implementation of any operational strategy that cannot be fully accounted for with respect to the Projections. Any targets or estimates are therefore subject to a number of important risks, qualifications, limitations and exceptions that could materially and adversely affect the combined company's performance. Moreover, actual events are difficult to project and often depend upon factors that are beyond the control of the SPAC and the Company. The performance projections and estimates are subject to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and have the potential to be revised to take into account further adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the future performance of the SPAC and the Company. Projected returns and estimates are based on an assumption that public health, economic, market, and other conditions will improve; however, there can be no assurance that such conditions will improve within the time period or to the extent estimated by the SPAC and the Company. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future performance is particularly uncertain and difficult to predict, therefore actual results may vary materially and adversely from the Projections included herein. Presentation of Financial Information The Company's financial statement have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), which may not be comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. adstec 2 Energy#3Disclaimer (2/2) Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Investor Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with IFRS, including, but not limited to, EBITDA and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. These non-IFRS financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with IFRS 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 IFRS. You should be aware that the Company's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies, including those peers whose measures are presented in this Investor Presentation. The Company believes these non-IFRS 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 also believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors. These non-IFRS 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- IFRS financial measures. Please refer to any footnotes where presented in this Investor Presentation, as well as to the table on the final page, for a reconciliation of these measures to what the Company believes are the most directly comparable measure evaluated in accordance with IFRS. This Investor Presentation also includes certain projections of non-IFRS 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 IFRS financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable IFRS measures and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures are included in this Investor Presentation. Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this Investor Presentation have been subject to rounding adjustments. Certain other amounts that appear in this Investor Presentation may not sum due to rounding. Use of Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property All registered or unregistered service marks, trademarks and trade names referred to in this Investor Presentation are the property of their respective owners, and the use herein does not imply an affiliation with, or endorsement by, the owners of these service marks, trademarks and trade names.

References to "we," "us" or "our" are to the Company and, following the Business Combination, refer to the combined company. The list of risk factors has not been prepared for any other purpose. Investing in the combined company's common shares to be issued in connection with the Business Combination involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties inherent in an investment including those described below, and conduct their own due diligence investigation, before making an investment decision. If we cannot address any of the following risks and uncertainties effectively, or any other risks and difficulties that may arise in the future, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. The following list of risks is not exhaustive, and additional risks that we currently do not know about or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition or results of operations. Risks relating to our business will be disclosed in future documents filed or furnished with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the documents filed or furnished in connection with the proposed Business Combination. The risks presented in such filings will be consistent with those that would be required for a public company in their SEC filings and may differ significantly from, and will be more extensive than, those presented below. Risks Related to Our Business and Industry The COVID-19 pandemic, and any future outbreak or other public health emergency, could materially affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and operating results. We may experience significant fluctuations in our operating results and rates of growth. If we are unable to manage our growth or execute our growth strategies effectively, our business and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. We face intense competition and could fail to gain, or could lose, market share if we are unable to compete effectively. Our failure to quickly identify and adapt to changing industry conditions may have a material and adverse effect on us. We may be unable to prevent unlawful or fraudulent activities in our operations, and we could be liable for such fraudulent or unlawful activities. Any significant interruptions or delays in IT service or any undetected errors or design faults in IT systems could result in limited capacity, reduced demand, processing delays and loss of customers, suppliers or marketplace merchants and a reduction of commercial activity. Any failure to adapt to technological developments or industry trends could harm our business. Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain high quality management and operating personnel, and if we are unable to attract, retain and motivate well qualified employees, our business could be negatively impacted. We may from time to time pursue acquisitions, which could have an adverse impact on our business, as could the integration of the businesses following acquisition. Exchange rate fluctuations may negatively affect our results of operations. Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory and Tax Matters Our operations are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, and we expect that the extent of regulation applicable to us and our operations will increase over time and that we will be subject to new laws and new regulations. We may become subject to additional laws or regulations or changes to existing laws or regulations, or changes in the interpretation of existing or new laws or regulations, any of which could impact the way we conduct our business. We are subject to increasingly stringent environmental regulations. We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties. We may be unable to continue the use of our domain names or prevent third parties from acquiring and using domain names that infringe upon, are similar to or otherwise decrease the value of our brands, trademarks, or service marks. Employment laws in German are relatively stringent and their application in a more aggressive manner by the German state could negatively impact our activity. We may be subject to litigation, tax proceedings or regulatory proceedings which could result in significant liability. We may be subject to product liability claims if people or property are harmed by the products sold on our platform. Some of our potential losses may not be covered by insurance. We may not be able to obtain or maintain adequate insurance coverage. We may be exposed to enforcement for violating anti-corruption laws, anti-money laundering laws and other similar laws and regulations. Changes in tax treatment of companies engaged in e-commerce may adversely affect the commercial use of our sites and our financial results. We may experience fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results. adstec 42 Energy#43Risk factors (2/2) Risk Related to the Business Combination We have not yet entered into a definitive agreement for the Business Combination and, when we do, the completion of the Business Combination will be subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination may not be completed. Resales of the shares of common stock included in the stock consideration could depress the market price of the combined company's common stock. The exercise of discretion by the EUSG directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of the stockholders of the combined company. A market for the combined company's securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of the combined company's securities. If the Business Combination's benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of EUSG's securities may decline. Both EUSG and the Company will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. The ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company's ability to successfully operate the business thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of the Company. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and financial results of the combined business. If the Business Combination's benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of EUSG securities or, following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company's securities, may decline. Delays in completing the Business Combination may substantially reduce the expected benefits of the Business Combination. Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, the combined company may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and the combined company's common share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment. There can be no assurance that the combined company's common shares will be approved for listing on the Nasdaq or that the combined company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq. There can be no assurance as to the timing of the commencement, or completion, of the SEC review of the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination, which in turn will determine the timing of the closing of the Business Combination. Regulatory investigations or legal proceedings in connection with the Business Combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the completion of the Business Combination. Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with existing or future laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Risk Related to Owning the Combined Company's Shares A market for the combined company's common shares may not develop or be sustained, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of the combined company's common shares. Sales of a substantial number of the combined company's common shares in the public market, including those issued upon exercise of warrants or options, could cause our share price to decline. The combined company's future ability to pay cash dividends to shareholders is subject to the discretion of its board of directors and will be limited by its ability to generate sufficient earnings and cash flows. There can be no assurance that the combined company will not be a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year, which could subject U.S. shareholders to significant adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. Risks Related to Being a Public Company The combined company will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and its management will devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives. If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting standards prove to be incorrect, or such standards change over time, our results of operations could be adversely affected. We expect to be a "foreign private issuer" and intend to ollow certain home country corporate governance practices. As a foreign private issuer, we will have differe à disclosure and other requirements than U.S. domestic registrants. Our shareholders may therefore not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional expense and the need to present our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. We could in the future need to disclose, and be required to remediate, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. We will be a "foreign private issuer" within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic public companies. adstec 43 Energy
