Risk Factors (1 of 5) All references to "Bridger," the "Company," "we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. The risks presented below are certain of the general risks related to our business, industry and ownership structure and are not exhaustive. 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. The list below is qualified in its entirety by disclosures contained in future filings by the Company, or by third parties (including Jack Creek Investment Corp. ("Jack Creek")) with respect to the Company, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These risks speak only as of the date of this presentation and the Company makes no commitment to update such disclosure. The risks highlighted in future filings with the SEC may differ significantly from, and will be more extensive than, those presented below. Aviation and Firefighting Risks ■ ☐ Our operation of aircraft involves a degree of inherent risk, and we could suffer losses and adverse publicity stemming from any accident, whether related to us or not, involving aircraft, helicopters, or commercial drones similar to the assets we use in our operations. Our business is inherently risky in that it is fighting wildfires which are powerful and unpredictable. The unavailability of an aircraft due to loss, delayed delivery of new aircraft, mechanical failure, lack of pilots or mechanical personnel, especially one of the Viking Air CL-415EAFS (a Super Scooper), would result in lower operating revenues for us for a period of time that cannot be determined and would likely be prolonged. Our pilots and mechanics are required by contract to meet a minimum standard of operational experience. Finding and employing individuals with the necessary level of experience and certification has required us to hire U.S. and Canadian personnel. Inability to source and hire personnel with appropriate skills and experience would inhibit operations. The development of superior alternative firefighting tactics or technology that do not rely on our existing and planned capital assets could reduce demand for our services and result in a material reduction in our revenue and results of operations. Operations Risks ☐ ■ ☐ ☐ ◉ We rely on our information technology systems to manage numerous aspects of our business. A cyber-based attack of these systems could disrupt our ability to deliver services to our customers and could lead to increased overhead costs, decreased sales, and harm to our reputation. Our service, data and systems may be critical to operations or involve the storage, processing and transmission of sensitive data, including valuable intellectual property, other proprietary or confidential data, regulated data, and personal information of employees, and others. Successful breaches, employee malfeasance, or human or technological error could result in, for example, unauthorized access to, disclosure, modification, misuse, loss, or destruction of our or other third-party data or systems; theft of sensitive, regulated, or confidential data including personal information and intellectual property; the loss of access to critical data or systems; service or system disruptions or denials of service. Failure to comply with federal, state and foreign laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, or the expansion of current laws and regulations or the enactment of new laws or regulations in these areas, could adversely affect our business and our financial condition. Our reputation and ability to do business may be impacted by the improper conduct of our employees, agents or business partners. Any failure to offer high-quality aerial firefighting services to customers may harm our relationships with our customers and could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition, and results of operations. Natural disasters, unusual weather conditions, pandemic or epidemic outbreaks, terrorist acts and political events could disrupt our business. We are subject to risks associated with climate change, including the potential increased impacts of severe weather events on our operations and infrastructure, and changes in weather patterns may result in lower demand for our services if such changes result in a reduced risk of wildfires. Our business is dependent on the availability of aircraft fuel. Continued periods of significant disruption in the supply or cost of aircraft fuel could have a significant negative impact on consumer demand, our operating results, and liquidity. 43
