Forward-Looking Statements
This Presentation includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect,"
"should," "would," "plan," "predict," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "outlook," and 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 revenue and other financial and performance metrics,
projections of market opportunity and expectations, timing of various business milestones, and projected business model and related assumptions; VectolQ's ability to consummate a transaction
with the Company; VectolQ's ability to obtain the financing necessary to consummate the Proposed Transactions; and the expected timing of completion of the Proposed Transactions. These
statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of VectolQ's and the Company'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 VectolQ and the Company. These forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, financial, legal, political and business
conditions and changes in domestic and foreign markets; the potential effects of COVID-19; the outcome of judicial proceedings to which the Company is, or may become a party; the inability of
the parties to enter into definitive agreements or successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Transactions or to satisfy the other conditions to the closing of the Proposed Transactions,
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; the risk that
the approval of the stockholders of VectolQ for the Proposed Transactions is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transactions, including as a result of a delay
in consummating the Proposed Transaction or difficulty in, or costs associated with, integrating the businesses of VectolQ and the Company, the amount of redemption requests made by
VectolQ's stockholders; the occurrence of events that may give rise to a right of one or both of VectolQ and the Company to terminate the Business Combination Agreement; risks related to the
rollout of the Company's business and the timing of expected business milestones; changes in the assumptions underlying the Company's expectations regarding its future business or business
model; the availability of capital; the effects of competition on the Company's future business; and those factors discussed in the Registration Statement under the heading "Risk Factors," and
other documents of VectolQ filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these
forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither VectolQ nor the Company presently do not know or that VectolQ and the Company 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 VectolQ's and the Company's expectations, plans
or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. VectolQ and the Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change.
However, while VectolQ and the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, VectolQ and the Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do
so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing VectolQ's or the Company's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly,
und ue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
Use of Projections
This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Nikola. 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. See "Forward-Looking Statements" above. Actual results may differ materially from the
results contemplated by the financial forecast 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 forecasts will be achieved.
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, the Registration Statement or any other document to be filed by VectolQ with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this
Presentation, such as EBIT, EBITDA and EBITDA Margin, has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). VectolQ and Nikola believe
these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Nikola's financial condition and
results of operations. Nikola's management uses these non-GAAP measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation, and for budgeting and planning
purposes. VectolQ and Nikola believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and
in comparing Nikola's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-GAAP
measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significantView entire presentation
