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 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 financial and performance metrics, 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 Hypebeast's and Iron Spark'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 Hypebeast and Iron Spark. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, 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 or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of Iron Spark or Hypebeast is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Hypebeast; the effects of competition on Hypebeast's future business; the amount of redemption requests made by Iron Spark's public stockholders; the ability of Iron Spark or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future, and those factors discussed in Iron Spark's final prospectus dated June 8, 2021 under the heading "Risk Factors," and other documents of Iron Spark filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 Iron Spark nor Hypebeast presently know or that Iron Spark and Hypebeast 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 Iron Spark's and Hypebeast's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this presentation. Iron Spark and Hypebeast anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Iron Spark's and Hypebeast's assessments to change. However, while Iron Spark and Hypebeast may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Iron Spark and Hypebeast specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Iron Spark's and Hypebeast's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Use of Projections This presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Hypebeast, namely revenue, and EBITDA for Hypebeast's fiscal years ending March 31, 2022 through March 31, 2023. 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 prospective 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 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 Iron Spark nor the independent registered public accounting firm of Hypebeast, 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. 2#3Disclaimer Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement, registration statement, or prospectus to be filed by Iron Spark with the SEC. While Hypebeast's financial information was historically prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS"), some financial information and data contained in this presentation are not measures prepared in accordance with HKFRS, United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP)" or International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). EBIT is a non-HKFRS, non-US GAAP and non-IFRS financial measure that Hypebeast defines as Operating Income plus depreciation and amortization. Iron Spark and Hypebeast believe this non-GAAP measure of financial results provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Hypebeast's financial condition and results of operations and an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Hypebeast's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Hypebeast management does not consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of this non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that is required by GAAP to be recorded in Hypebeast's financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents this measure (EBIT) with the most closely related GAAP result (net income). In addition, all Hypebeast historical financial information included herein is preliminary and subject to change pending finalization of the fiscal year 2019 and 2020 audits of Hypebeast in accordance with PCAOB auditing standards. Additional Information and Where to Find It In connection with the transaction described herein, Hypebeast and Iron Spark will file relevant materials with the SEC, including the Registration Statement on Form F-4 and a proxy statement.

Hypebeast generally does not enter into long term business contracts with its customers. Hypebeast's business depends on its ability to maintain existing relationship with brand owners and advertising agencies and its ability to attract new digital media customers to place advertisements with it. Hypebeast relies on customers in the fashion industry. Hypebeast's business depends on a strong brand, which it might not be able to maintain or enhance, and unfavorable customer feedback or negative publicity could adversely affect its brand. Any unauthorized use of Hypebeast's brand name or any other intellectual property infringements by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting such intellectual property rights, may adversely affect Hypebeast's business and reputation. Hypebeast is subject to regulatory risks related to its VIE structure. Hypebeast may not be able to sustain the growth of revenue and profitability that it experienced historically. Hypebeast's international footprint exposes it to a variety of different local legal, regulatory, tax, payment, and cultural standards which it might fail to comply with. Hypebeast relies on third-party courier to deliver goods to e-commerce customers and third-party suppliers for technical and payment services. Hypebeast may be liable for its users' privacy being compromised which may materially and adversely affect its reputation and business. Hypebeast is subject to product liability risk for the goods sold on its e-commerce platform. Risks Related to Business Combination There can be no assurance that Hypebeast's shares will be approved for listing on the Nasdaq or that Hypebeast will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq. If the Business Combination's benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of Iron Spark's shares or, following the closing, Hypebeast's shares, may decline. A market for Hypebeast's shares may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Hypebeast's shares. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Hypebeast will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a dual-listed company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Risks Related to Redemption of Iron Spark's Shares If a shareholder fails to receive notice of Iron Spark's offer to redeem the public shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed. Iron Spark does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for Iron Spark to complete the Business Combination with which a substantial majority of its shareholders do not agree. The foregoing summarizes certain of the general risks related to the business of Hypebeast and the proposed business combination, and such list is not exhaustive. The foregoing list has been prepared solely for assisting interested parties in making their own evaluation with respect to the business combination and not for any other purpose. You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties together with other available information and should carry out your own diligence and consult with your own financial and legal advisors. A more expansive description of the key risk factors will be filed with the SEC as part of the form F-4 registration statement referred to above and in subsequent filings with the SEC, and such risk factors will be more extensive than, and may differ significantly from, the above summary. 43
