Disclaimer Participants in Solicitation Ajax and Cazoo and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Ajax's stockholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. Information about Ajax's directors and executive officers and their ownership of Ajax's securities is set forth in Ajax's filings with the SEC, including Ajax's final prospectus filed with the SEC on October 9, 2020. Additional information regarding the interests of those persons and other persons who may be deemed participants in the proposed transaction may be obtained by reading the proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed transaction. Industry and Market Data This presentation has been prepared by Cazoo and Ajax and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Cazoo and Ajax to be reliable, including independent industry publications, governmental publications or other published independent sources. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of Cazoo or Ajax, which in each case are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. Although Cazoo and Ajax believe these sources are reliable, Cazoo and Ajax have not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness. Financial Information; Non-IFRS Financial Measures The 2020 financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited, based on draft statutory accounts, does not conform to Regulation S-X, and is subject to PCAOB audit. Accordingly, 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 with the SEC and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as EBITDA, EBITDA margin and free cash flow, has not been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). EBITDA is defined as loss after tax from continuing operations, before income tax credit, finance income, finance costs, depreciation, amortization, share-based payment charges and exceptional items. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by revenue. Free cash flow is defined as EBITDA minus capex (excl. M&A). Cazoo and Ajax believe these non-IFRS measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Cazoo's financial condition and results of operations. Cazoo's management uses these non-IFRS measures for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. Cazoo and Ajax believe that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing Cazoo's financial condition and results of operations with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors. However, other companies may calculate their non-IFRS measures differently, and therefore the non-IFRS measures in this Presentation not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management does not consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-IFRS financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Cazoo's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded and included in determining these non-IFRS financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-IFRS financial measures in connection with IFRS results. Cazoo is not providing a reconciliation of projected EBITDA or free cash flow for full years 2021-2024 to the most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with IFRS because Cazoo is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the adjustments may be recognized. Cazoo is not providing a reconciliation of projected EBITDA or free cash flow for full year 2020 to the most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with IFRS because Cazoo is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort. For the same reasons, Cazoo is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. You should review Cazoo's audited financial statements, which will be included in the registration statement relating to the proposed business combination. In addition, all Cazoo historical financial information included herein is preliminary and subject to change. No Offer or Solicitation This Presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Use of Projections Any financial information in this Presentation (including specifically the projections] that are forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Cazoo's and Ajax's control. While such information and projections are necessarily speculative, Cazoo and Ajax believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results 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 projections. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Cazoo and Ajax, the proposed transactions or other matters and attributable to Cazoo and Ajax or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.
