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, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither SVOK
nor the Company undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.
Use of Projections
This Presentation contains financial forecasts for the Company with respect to certain financial results for the Company's fiscal years 2021 through 2026. Neither SVOK's nor the Company's independent auditors have audited, 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 provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. These projections are forward-looking statements and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. In this Presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been provided for purposes
of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of the Company or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results
contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved.
Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The historical financial information and data contained in this Presentation has not been audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and does not conform to Regulation S-X. Such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in the registration statement to be filed by SVOK
relating to the Business Combination and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein.
This Presentation also includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including Adjusted EBITDA and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom as well as Adjusted Cash Operating Costs. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, tax expense,
depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and other one-time or non-recurring expenses, such as executive recruiting fees, severance, 3rd party consulting fees, and transaction-related fees, among others, that the Company does not believe are recurring in nature or necessary for the ongoing operations of the business. The Company defines Adjusted
Cash Operating Costs as Operating Expenses less depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and other one-time or non-recurring expenses, such as executive recruiting fees, severance, 3rd party consulting fees, and transaction-related fees, among others, that the Company does not believe are recurring in nature or necessary for the ongoing
operations of the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP 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 GAAP. You should be aware that the Company's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. SVOK and the Company believe these non-GAAP 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. SVOK and the Company believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in comparing the Company's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which
present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP 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-GAAP financial measures.
This Presentation also includes certain projections of non-GAAP 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 r accessible, SVOK and the Company are unable to quantify
certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.

In this Presentation, the Company relies on and refers to certain information and statistics obtained from third-party sources which it believes to be reliable. Neither SVOK nor the Company has independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such third-party information.
