By participating in this presentation, you acknowledge that you are (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 you 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. This presentation relates to the potential financing of a portion of the transactions contemplated in this presentation through a private placement of equity securities. This presentation shall not constitute a "solicitation" as defined in Section 14 of the Exchange Act. This presentation shall neither 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 jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This presentation is not an offer, or a solicitation of an offer, to buy or sell any investment or other specific product. Any offering of securities (the "Securities") will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and will be offered as a private placement to a limited number of institutional "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act and "Institutional Accounts" as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c). Accordingly, the Securities must continue to be held unless a subsequent disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act. Investors should consult with their counsel as to the applicable requirements for a purchaser to avail itself of any exemption under the Act. The transfer of the Securities may also be subject to conditions set forth in an agreement under which they are to be issued. Investors should be aware that they might be required to bear the final risk of their investment for an indefinite period of time. Neither FiscalNote nor Duddell Street is making an offer of the Securities in any state where the offer is not permitted. The information contained in this presentation is only addressed to and directed at persons in member states of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom (each a "Relevant State") who are "qualified investors" within the meaning of the Prospectus Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/1129) ("Qualified Investors"). In addition, in the United Kingdom, the presentation is being distributed only to, and is directed only at, Qualified Investors who are persons (i) having professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the "Order") (ii) falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order, or (iii) to whom it may otherwise lawfully be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as "Relevant Persons"). The information must not be acted on or relied on (i) in the United Kingdom, by persons who are not Relevant Persons, and (ii) in any Relevant State, by persons who are not Qualified Investors. Any investment or investment activity to which the information relates is available only to or will be engaged in only with, (i) Relevant Persons in the United Kingdom, and (ii) Qualified Investors in any Relevant State. This presentation is intended solely for the purposes of familiarizing investors. To the extent the terms of any potential transaction are included in this presentation, those terms are included for discussion purposes only. NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ("SEC") NOR ANY STATE OR TERRITORIAL SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PRESENTATION IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. Use of Data This presentation contains information concerning Fiscal Note's products, services and industry, including market size and growth rates of the markets in which Fiscal Note participates, that are based on industry surveys and publications or other publicly available information, other third-party survey data and research reports. This information involves many assumptions and limitations; therefore, there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy or reliability of such assumptions and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to this information. Further, no representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any projections or modeling or any other information contained herein. Any data on past performance or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance. This modelling data is subject to change. Neither Fiscal Note nor Duddell Street has independently verified this third-party information. Similarly, other third-party survey data and research reports commissioned by Fiscal Note or Duddell Street, while believed by Fiscal Note and Duddell Street to be reliable, are based on limited sample sizes and have not been independently verified by Fiscal Note or Duddell Street. In addition, projections, assumptions, estimates, goals, targets, plans and trends of the future performance of the industry in which Fiscal Note operates, and its future performance, are necessarily subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described above. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by independent parties and by Fiscal Note and Duddell Street. None of Duddell Street, Fiscal Note and the Placement Agents assumes any obligation to update the information in this presentation. Use of Projections The financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets in this presentation are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Duddell Street's and Fiscal Note's control. While all financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, Duddell Street and Fiscal Note believe that the preparation of prospective financial, operational, industry and market information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. Fiscal Note's independent auditors have not studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets, including assumptions, risks and uncertainties described in "Forward Looking Statements" below. The inclusion of financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets in this presentation should not be regarded as an indication that Duddell Street and Fiscal Note, or their representatives, considered or consider such financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets to be a reliable prediction of future events. Further, investors should note that the projections or revenue targets for FY2022 to FY 2025 are based on management estimates of both organic growth and growth via acquisitions, inclusive of acquisitions in the Company's pipeline. These acquisitions may not be consummated, or if they are, they may not be done on terms that the Company currently expects. As a result, investors should not place undue reliance on projections or the revenue targets for FY2022 to FY2025. Fiscal Note#33 Financial Information, Non-GAAP Measures Disclaimer (Cont'd) The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X promulgated under the Act. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement or registration statement to be filed by Duddell Street with the SEC. This presentation contains "non-GAAP financial measures" that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Specifically, Fiscal Note makes use of the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA. This is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use as Adjusted EBITDA does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentations of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. See Appendix for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company. Additional Information If the contemplated business combination is pursued, Duddell Street will be required to file a preliminary and definitive proxy statement, which may be a part of a registration statement, and other relevant documents with the SEC. Shareholders and other interested persons are urged to read the preliminary and definitive proxy statement, prospectus, any other relevant documents filed with the SEC and any amendments thereto when they become available because they will contain important information about Duddell Street, Fiscal Note and the contemplated business combination. Shareholders will be able to obtain a free copy of the proxy statement (when filed), as well as other filings containing information about Duddell Street, Fiscal Note and the contemplated business combination, without charge, at the SEC's website located at www.sec.gov. Duddell Street and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Duddell Street's shareholders in connection with the proposed transaction. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers and information regarding their interests in the business combination will be contained in the proxy statement/prospectus when available. This presentation does not contain all the information that should be considered in the contemplated business combination and shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the contemplated business combination. It is not intended to form any basis of any investment decision or any decision in respect to the contemplated business combination. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to shareholders of Duddell Street as of a record date to be established for voting on the contemplated business combination when it becomes available. Forward Looking Statements Certain statements in this presentation may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to (i) Fiscal Note's projected operational performance, including relative to its competitors, (ii) trends in the enterprise information services and legal regulatory information markets, (iii) FiscalNote's strategies and targets for customer growth, (iv) Fiscal Note's strategies and plans for mergers and acquisitions, and (v) other statements regarding Duddell Street's or Fiscal Note's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "strive," "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward- looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of Duddell Street's registration statement on Form S-1, any proxy statement/prospectus relating to the contemplated business combination, which is expected to be filed by Duddell Street with the SEC, other documents filed by Duddell Street from time to time with the SEC, and any risk factors made available to you in connection with Duddell Street, Fiscal Note and the contemplated business combination. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of Duddell Street and Fiscal Note), and other assumptions, that may cause Fiscal Note's or Duddell Street's actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that will be described in any proxy statement/prospectus relating to the contemplated business combination, as well as the following: changes in domestic and foreign businesses, government regulation, and market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the risk that Fiscal Note may be unable to successfully commercialize its products and services; the effects of competition on Fiscal Note's business; Fiscal Note's and Duddell Street's exposure to litigation claims and other loss contingencies; Fiscal Note's ability to protect patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights; the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Fiscal Note; disruptions and other impacts to Fiscal Note's business as a result of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and other global health or economic crises; changes in customer demand; the parties may be unable to successfully or timely consummate the contemplated business combination, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the contemplated business combination or that the approval of the shareholders of Duddell Street or stockholders of Fiscal Note is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the contemplated business combination; and the amount of redemption requests made by Duddell Street's shareholders. There may be additional risks that neither Duddell Street nor FiscalNote presently know or that Duddell Street and Fiscal Note currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. You should not take any statement regarding past trends or activities as a representation that the trends or activities will continue in the future. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Duddell Street and Fiscal Note assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither Duddell Street nor Fiscal Note gives any assurance that either Duddell Street or Fiscal Note will achieve its expectations.

Trademarks Fiscal Note and Duddell Street own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses.

FiscalNote#5454 Risk Factors Risks Related to Fiscal Note's Business ° FiscalNote has recently experienced rapid growth that may not be indicative of future growth, which makes it difficult to forecast its revenue and evaluate its business and prospects. If FiscalNote fails to manage its growth effectively, its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Fiscal Note has a history of net losses, anticipates increasing operating expenses in the future, and may not be able to achieve and, if achieved, maintain profitability. Fiscal Note generates a significant percentage of its revenues from recurring subscription-based arrangements, and if it is unable to maintain a high renewal rate, its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. If FiscalNote is unable to attract new customers, retain existing customers, expand its products and services offerings with existing customers, expand into new geographic markets or identify areas of higher growth, its revenue growth and profitability will be harmed. Fiscal Note's efforts to expand its service offerings and to develop and integrate its existing services in order to keep pace with policy, regulatory, political and technological developments may not succeed. A principal focus of FiscalNote's business strategy is to grow and expand its business through acquisitions. Fiscal Note may not be able to successfully identify attractive acquisition opportunities or make acquisitions on terms that are satisfactory to it from a commercial perspective. Fiscal Note may not realize expected business or financial benefits from acquisitions or integrate acquired businesses in an efficient and effective manner, or such acquisitions could divert management's attention, increase capital requirements or dilute stockholder value and materially and adversely affect FiscalNote's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. FiscalNote recognizes revenues over the term of the agreements for its subscriptions and, as a result, there is often a lag in realizing the impact of current sales or cancellations in reported revenues by Fiscal Note, and a significant downturn in FiscalNote's business may not be reflected immediately in its operating results. Fiscal Note's sales cycles are variable, depend upon factors outside its control, and could cause it to expend significant time and resources prior to generating revenues. Fiscal Note may experience fluctuations in its quarterly and annual operating results. If Fiscal Note has overestimated the size of its total addressable market, Fiscal Note's future growth rate may be limited. Fiscal Note relies on third parties, including public sources, for data, information and other products and services, and Fiscal Note's relationships with such third parties may not be successful or may change, which could adversely affect its results of operations. If Fiscal Note is not able to obtain and maintain accurate, comprehensive, or reliable data, it could experience reduced demand for its products and services. Fiscal Note's CQ Roll Call business currently relies on sources of revenues that have been, and likely will continue to be, negatively affected by digital commerce and media. Fiscal Note's ability to introduce new features, integrations, capabilities, and enhancements is dependent on adequate research and development resources. If Fiscal Note does not adequately fund its research and development efforts, or if its research and development investments do not translate into material enhancements to its products and services, Fiscal Note may not be able to compete effectively, and its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected. Fiscal Note's ability to introduce new features, integrations, capabilities, and enhancements is dependent on adequate research and development resources. If Fiscal Note does not adequately fund its research and development efforts, or if its research and development investments do not translate into material enhancements to its products and services, Fiscal Note may not be able to compete effectively, and its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected. Increased accessibility to free or relatively inexpensive information sources that offer comparable value to customers may reduce demand for Fiscal Note's products and services. Fiscal Note#55. . • • Risk Factors (Cont'd) If Fiscal Note fails to maintain and improve its methods and technologies, or anticipate new methods or technologies, for data collection, organization, and analysis, competing products and services could surpass those of FiscalNote in depth, breadth, or accuracy of its data or in other respects. Larger and more well-funded companies with access to significant resources, large amounts of data or data collection methods, and sophisticated technologies may shift their business model to become direct competitors to FiscalNote. If Fiscal Note fails to protect and maintain its brands, its ability to attract and retain customers will be impaired, its reputation may be harmed, and its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may suffer. Fiscal Note has a significant portion of its sales to U.S. and foreign government agencies and other highly regulated organizations, which are subject to a number of challenges and risks. Fiscal Note assists customers in certain legislative and other governmental relations matters, which activities may be deemed to be lobbying efforts. FiscalNote's international operations subject it to additional risks that can adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. Fiscal Note has significant operations and assets in the UK, Belgium, Australia, South Korea, India, Singapore, and Hong Kong and, as a result, will be subject to risks inherent in doing business in those jurisdictions, which may adversely affect its financial performance and operating results. Fiscal Note's company culture has contributed to its success and if Fiscal Note cannot maintain and evolve its culture as it grows, including through acquisition, its business could be materially and adversely affected. Fiscal Note relies on the performance of highly skilled personnel, including its management and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of such personnel, or of a significant number of team members, could harm its business. If Fiscal Note does not effectively maintain and grow its research and development team with top talent, including employees who are trained in artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced algorithms, Fiscal Note may be unable to continue to improve its artificial intelligence capabilities, and its revenues and other results of operations could be adversely affected. Regulators in the U.S. and other jurisdictions where Fiscal Note operates may limit FiscalNote's ability to develop or implement its proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms and/or may eliminate or restrict the confidentiality of its proprietary technology, which could have a material adverse effect on FiscalNote's financial condition and results of operations. Issues in the use of artificial intelligence (including machine learning) in FiscalNote's platforms may result in reputational harm or liability. Failure to effectively develop and expand FiscalNote's marketing and sales capabilities could harm its ability to increase its customer base, expand its engagements with existing customers, and achieve broader market acceptance of its products and services. Any failure to offer high-quality support and professional services for Fiscal Note's customers may harm its relationships with its customers and, consequently, FiscalNote's business. Fiscal Note's business is subject to numerous legal and regulatory risks that could have an adverse impact on its business. Fiscal Note has incurred a significant amount of debt, some of which is secured by substantially all of Fiscal Note's assets, and may in the future incur additional indebtedness. Fiscal Note's payment obligations under such indebtedness may limit the funds available to FiscalNote, and the terms of Fiscal Note's debt agreements may restrict its flexibility in operating its business. FiscalNote is currently and may in the future be involved in legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which Fiscal Note may be involved could expose Fiscal Note to monetary damages or limit the ability to operate its business. 55 55 Fiscal Note#5656 Risk Factors (Cont'd) Fiscal Note's projections and key performance metrics are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. As a result, FiscalNote's financial and operating results may differ materially from its expectations. Fiscal Note's use of any "open source" software under restrictive licenses could: (i) adversely affect Fiscal Note's ability to license and commercialize certain elements of its proprietary code base on the commercial terms of its choosing; (ii) result in a loss of Fiscal Note's trade secrets or other intellectual property rights with respect to certain portions of its proprietary code; and (iii) subject Fiscal Note to litigation and other disputes. Fiscal Note may not be able to adequately obtain, maintain, protect and enforce its proprietary and intellectual property rights in its data or technology. Fiscal Note may in the future be sued by third parties for various claims including alleged infringement, misappropriation or other violation of proprietary intellectual property rights. Fiscal Note is subject to sanctions, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject Fiscal Note to criminal penalties or significant fines and harm its business and reputation. The COVID-19 pandemic has materially impacted Fiscal Note's operations, is still ongoing, and it or other pandemics or public health threats could adversely affect FiscalNote's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Fiscal Note may be exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely impact its results of operations. Fiscal Note has entered into certain licensing agreements and other strategic relationships with third parties. These agreements and relationships may not continue and Fiscal Note may not be successful in entering into other similar agreements and relationships. If FiscalNote fails to maintain its current licensing agreements or establish new relationships, it could result in loss of revenue and harm Fiscal Note's business and financial condition or inability for Fiscal Note to use the intellectual property licensed to it by the applicable third party. Fiscal Note has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, and its management has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. While it is working to remediate any material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting, it cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future. If its internal control over financial reporting or its disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results or prevent fraud, which may cause investors to lose confidence in its reported financial information and may lead to a decline in its stock price. • As a private company, Fiscal Note has not endeavored to establish and/or maintain public company-quality internal control over financial reporting. If it fails to establish and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting as a public company, its ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, investors may lose confidence in its financial reporting and the trading price of its shares may decline. FiscalNote's risk management processes and procedures may not be effective. • Fiscal Note operates in competitive markets and may be adversely affected by this competition. Changes in tax laws or regulations in the various tax jurisdictions to which Fiscal Note is subject that are applied adversely to Fiscal Note or its customers could increase the costs of Fiscal Note's products and services and harm its business. FiscalNote#570 57 Risk Factors (Cont'd) Information Technology and Data Risks Cyber-attacks, security, privacy, or data breaches or other security incidents that affect Fiscal Note's networks or systems, or those of its service providers, involving sensitive, personal, classified or confidential information of FiscalNote or its customers could expose Fiscal Note to liability under various laws and regulations across jurisdictions, decrease trust in Fiscal Note and its products and services, increase the risk of litigation and governmental investigation, and harm to Fiscal Note's reputation, business, and financial condition. Fiscal Note depends on third parties for data, information and other services, and Fiscal Note's ability to serve its customers could be adversely impacted if such third parties fail to fulfill their obligations, if Fiscal Note is unable to effectively manage and minimize errors, failures, interruptions or delays caused by third parties or if Fiscal Note's arrangements with them are terminated and suitable replacements cannot be found on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Technical problems or disruptions affecting customers' access to Fiscal Note's services, or the software, internal applications, databases, and network systems underlying its services, could damage Fiscal Note's reputation and brands and lead to reduced demand for its products and services, lower revenues, and increased costs. FiscalNote#5858 Risk Factors (Cont'd) Risks Related to the Ownership of New Fiscal Note's Class A Common Stock • ° Following the consummation of the Business Combination, only its Co-Founders will be entitled to hold shares of New Fiscal Note Class B common stock, which shares will have 10 votes per share. This will limit or preclude other stockholders' ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, the approval of certain employee compensation plans, the adoption of amendments to its organizational documents and the approval of any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval. Fiscal Note cannot predict the impact New Fiscal Note's dual class structure may have on the stock price of New Fiscal Note's Class A common stock. New FiscalNote will be a "controlled company" under NASDAQ listing standards, and as a result, its stockholders may not have certain corporate protections that are available to stockholders of companies that are not controlled companies. There may not be an active trading market for shares of New Fiscal Note's Class A common stock, which may cause shares of New Fiscal Note's Class A common stock to trade at a discount from their initial trading price and make it difficult to sell the shares of Class A common stock you purchase. Sales of a substantial number of New Fiscal Note's Class A common stock in the public market by its existing shareholders could cause New Fiscal Note's share price to decline. Fiscal Note's management team has limited experience managing a public company. Fiscal Note will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and its management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices. If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about its business, or if they downgrade their recommendations regarding New Fiscal Note's Class A common stock, New Fiscal Note's stock price and trading volume could decline. New FiscalNote may issue preferred stock, the terms of which could adversely affect the voting power or value of New Fiscal Note's Class A common stock. ⚫ Anti-takeover provisions in New Fiscal Note's organizational documents and Delaware law might discourage or delay acquisition attempts for New Fiscal Note that you might consider favorable. New FiscalNote's certificate of incorporation will designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by its stockholders, which could limit New FiscalNote's stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with New Fiscal Note or its directors, officers, employees, or other stockholders.
