It is acknowledged and understood that Guggenheim Securities, LLC, ("Guggenheim Securities") which is acting as a placement agent in connection with the PIPE financing, may be considered an affiliate of GGI as a result, among other matters, of direct or indirect investments in Gores Guggenheim Inc. or its affiliates by affiliates of Guggenheim Securities.

Guggenheim Securities and its affiliates generally act independently of each other, both for their own account and for the account of clients, and are not bound by any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) that would prevent or restrict them from acting on behalf of other customers or for their own account in light of their respective roles opposite GGI.

No Offer and Non-Solicitation This Presentation is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of GGI, the Company or ListCo, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Notice to investors in the European Economic Area/Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors In member states of the European Economic Area (the "EEA"), this presentation and any offer if made subsequently is directed exclusively at persons who are “qualified investors" within the meaning of Article 2(e) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"). The securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended, the "Insurance Mediation Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. Notice to investors in the UK/Prohibition of sales to UK retail investors In the United Kingdom ("UK"), any offer of the securities will be made pursuant to an exemption under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA") (the "UK Prospectus Regulation") from a requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of securities. This communication is for distribution in the UK only to (i) investment professionals falling within article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the "Order”) or (ii) high net worth entities and other persons to whom it may lawfully be communicated, falling within article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order. The securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in Directive (EU) 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments (as amended) and implemented in the UK as it forms part of the domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA ("UK MIFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended) as it forms part of the domestic law of the UK by virtue of the EUWA, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in UK MIFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the UK Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of the domestic law of the UK by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPS Regulation") for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and, therefore, offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
