These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by ArcLight and its management, and the Company and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and subject to material change. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, various factors beyond management's control, including general economic conditions and other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in ArcLight's final prospectus relating to its initial public offering, dated September 22, 2020, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as factors associated with companies, such as the Company, that are engaged in commercial electric vehicle technology, including anticipated trends, growth rates, and challenges in those businesses and in the markets in which they operate; macroeconomic conditions related to the global COVID-19 pandemic; trends with respect to government funding for public transit; the willingness of corporate and other public transportation providers to adopt and fund the purchase of electric vehicles for mass transit; expected adoption of electrification technologies for commercial vehicles; the size and growth of the market for alternative energy vehicles in general and medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles, including transit buses and other commercial vehicles, in particular, the effects of increased competition; the ability to stay in compliance with laws and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to the commercial electric vehicle technology business and government contractors; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; the amount of redemption requests made by ArcLight's public stockholders; the ability of the issuer that results from the Business Combination to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the Business Combination or in the future. Nothing in this Presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this Presentation, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. Neither ArcLight nor the Company undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements. Use of Projections This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Proterra. 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 financial forecast 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" paragraph above.
