EVE SPAC Presentation Deck
Risk Factors
The risks presented below are certain of the general risks related to EVE UAM LLC, including the urban air mobility business it
will own (collectively, "Eve"), Zanite Acquisition Corp. ("Zanite") and the proposed business combination between Eve and
Zanite (the "Business Combination"), and such list is not exhaustive. The list below has been prepared solely for purposes of
the private placement transaction, and solely for potential private placement investors, and not for any other purpose. You
should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties, and should carry out your own diligence and consult with your own
financial and legal advisors concerning the risks and suitability of an investment in this offering before making an investment
decision. Risks relating to the business of Eve will be disclosed in future documents filed or furnished by Eve and Zanite with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the documents filed or furnished in connection with the
Business Combination. The risks presented in such filings will be consistent with those that would be required for a public
company in its SEC filings, including with respect to the business and securities of Eve and Zanite and the Business
Combination, and may differ significantly from, and be more extensive than, those presented below.
Risks Related to Eve's Business, Industry, Financial Condition, and Results of Operations
The market for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has not been established with precision, is still emerging and may not achieve the
growth potential Eve expects, or may grow more slowly than expected.
There may be reluctance by consumers to adopt this new form of mobility, or unwillingness to pay Eve's projected prices.
There may be rejection of eVTOL operation in certain localities due to a perceived risk of safety or burden on local
communities from eVTOL operations.
Eve may be unable to obtain relevant regulatory approvals for the commercialization of its aircraft, including Type
Certification, Production Certification, Operating Certification, approvals for permitting new infrastructure or access
existing infrastructure or otherwise.
Eve will be subject to rapidly changing and increasingly stringent laws, regulations, industry standards, and other
obligations relating to privacy, data protection, and data security. The restrictions and costs imposed by these
requirements, or its actual or perceived failure to comply with them, could harm its business.

If current airspace regulations are not modified to increase air traffic capacity, or new regulations are introduced that
restrict air traffic, Eve's business could be adversely affected.
Eve may not be able to launch its eVTOL and related services on the timeline projected and may not be able to produce
aircraft in the volumes and on the timeline projected.
Eve's competitors may commercialize their technology before Eve does, either in general or in specific markets.
Eve's customers' perception of Eve and Eve's reputation may be impacted by the broader industry, and customers may not
differentiate Eve's services from its competitors.
Eve's aircraft may require maintenance at frequencies or at costs which are unexpected and could adversely impact its
business and operations.
Eve's prospects and operations may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences, discretionary spending
and other economic conditions that affect demand for UAM services, including changes resulting from the COVID-19
pandemic.
Neither Eve nor Embraer has yet manufactured or delivered to customers any eVTOL aircraft, which makes evaluating Eve's
business and future prospects difficult and increases the risk of investment.
Eve's eVTOL aircraft may not perform at the level it expects, and may have potential defects, such as higher than expected
noise profile, lower payload than initially estimated, shorter range, higher unit cost, higher cost of operation, perceived
discomfort during transition phase and/or shorter useful lives than Eve anticipates.
Crashes, accidents or incidents of eVTOL aircraft or involving UATM solutions, lithium batteries involving Eve or its
competitors could have a material adverse effect on Eve's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Unsatisfactory safety performance of Eve's aircraft could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
condition, and results of operation.
There is a shortage of pilots and mechanics which could increase the costs of operating Eve's eVTOL and reduce the
ability to deploy Eve's eVTOL service at scale.
Eve currently relies and will continue to rely on Embraer and third-party partners to provide and store the services, products,
parts and components required to manufacture our aircraft, transport the aircraft to final customer and to supply critical
services, components and systems, which exposes us to a number of risks and uncertainties outside its control.
Eve's ability to operate its business effectively depends in large part on certain administrative and other support functions
provided to it by Embraer pursuant to the Services Agreements. Following the expiration or termination of the Services
Agreements, Eve's ability to operate its business effectively may suffer if it is unable to cost-effectively establish its own
administrative and other support functions in order to operate as a stand-alone company.
Eve may have received better terms from unaffiliated third parties than the terms it has received in the services
agreements with Embraer S.A.
Eve will rely on supplier and service partners to transport the aircraft to the final customer and to supply other critical
services and systems necessary for Eve's operations, including to provide aerial ridesharing services and to make the
necessary changes to, and operate, vertiports using Eve's aircrafts, which exposes Eve to risks and uncertainties outside its
control. Eve's agreements with such supplier and service partners are all non-binding. If Eve does not enter into definitive
agreements with such supplier and service partners, or the conditions to any such agreements (if any) are not met, or if
such agreements (if any) are cancelled, modified or delayed, or if such third party customers and commercial partners do
not otherwise make the services sufficiently convenient to drive customer adoption, Eve's prospects, results of operations,
liquidity and cash flow will be harmed.
Changes in government regulation imposing additional requirements and restrictions on Eve's operations could increase its
operating costs and result in service delays and disruptions.
The UAM Business is subject to stringent U.S. export and import control laws and regulations. Unfavorable changes in
these laws and regulations or U.S. government licensing policies, Eve's failure to secure timely U.S. government
authorizations under these laws and regulations, or Eve's failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a
material adverse effect on Eve's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft industry may not continue to develop, eVTOL aircraft may not be
adopted by the market or Eve's independent third-party aircraft operators, eVTOL aircraft may not be certified by
transportation authorities or eVTOL aircraft may not deliver the expected reduction in operating costs, any of which could
adversely affect Eve's prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations.
Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) may not be able to provide adequate situational awareness and equitable airspace
access to eVTOLS or may not allow industrial scalability.
The regulatory environment for third-party service and technology providers (which UATM could be labeled as) may not be
specific enough to support Eve's UATM solution, or may delay its adoption.
Eve's UATM solution may underperform if it has a defect or it is not delivered on the projected timeline.
Eve is an early stage company with a history of losses, and it expects to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future
and it may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.
Eve may not be able to secure adequate insurance policies, or secure insurance policies at reasonable prices.
Eve may be unable to manage its future growth effectively, which could make it difficult to execute its business strategy.
Eve's available capital resources may not be sufficient to meet its requirements for additional capital.
Eve may in the future invest significant resources in developing new offerings and exploring the application of Eve's
proprietary technologies for other uses and those opportunities may never materialize.
Eve may be unable to make certain advances in technology such as autonomous flying technologies, or such technologies
may not mature or be commercially available at the rates projected by Eve, which could adversely affect Eve's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
