After the Registration Statement has been declared effective, Spring Valley will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus, when available, to its stockholders and Dream's stockholders. Investors and security holders and other interested parties are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus, and any amendments thereto and any other documents filed with the SEC when they become available, carefully and in their entirety because they contain important information about Spring Valley, Dream and the Proposed Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and definitive proxy statement/prospectus (when available) and other documents filed with the SEC by Spring Valley through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. No Offer or Solicitation This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction in connection with the Proposed Business Combination among Dream and Spring Valley or any related transactions, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, such offer, solicitation or sale may be unlawful. Any offering of securities or solicitation of votes regarding the proposed transaction will be made only by means of a proxy statement/prospectus that complies with applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Participants in the Solicitation Spring Valley and Dream and their respective directors and certain of their respective executive officers and other members of management and employees may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Proposed Business Combination.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this Presentation are unaudited and do 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 Spring Valley with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Spring Valley and Dream believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Dream's financial condition and results of operations. Dream's management uses these non-GAAP measures for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. Spring Valley and Dream 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 Dream's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. [Dream is not able to forecast net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect GAAP, and therefore has not provided a reconciliation for forward-looking EBITDA]. 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 significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Dream's financial statements. In addition, they 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. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. You should review Dream's audited financial statements, which will be included in the Registration Statement.
