RISK FACTORS (CONT'D)
If Nogin fails to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, and changing customer needs or preferences, Nogin's CaaS platform may become less competitive.
The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this presentation may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the market in which Nogin competes achieves the forecasted growth, Nogin's business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.
Nogin anticipates that its operations will continue to increase in complexity as it grows, which will create management challenges.
Nogin depends on its senior management team and the loss of one or more key employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees may adversely affect its business.
If Nogin is unable to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, its business will suffer.
If Nogin is unable to maintain its corporate culture as it grows, Nogin could lose the innovation, teamwork, passion and focus on execution that it believes contributes to its success, and its business may be harmed.
Mobile devices are increasingly being used to conduct commerce, and if Nogin's CaaS platform does not operate as effectively when accessed through these devices, Nogin's customers and their shoppers may not be satisfied with its services, which could harm its business.
If Nogin's software or hardware contains serious errors or defects, Nogin may lose revenue and market acceptance and may incur costs to defend or settle claims with its customers.

Nogin stores personal information of its employees, business partners, its customers and their shoppers or end-users. If the security of this information is compromised or is otherwise accessed without authorization, Nogin's reputation may be harmed and it may be exposed to liability and loss of
business.

A cyberattack, security breach or other unauthorized access or interruption to Nogin's information technology systems or those of its third-party service providers could delay or interrupt service to Nogin's customers and their customers, harm Nogin's reputation or subject it to significant liability.
Nogin depends on third-party data hosting and transmission services. Increases in cost, interruptions in service, latency, or poor service from Nogin's third-party data center providers could impair the delivery of its CaaS platform, which could result in customer or shopper dissatisfaction, damage to
Nogin's reputation, loss of customers, limited growth, and reduction in revenue.
Nogin relies on third-party proprietary and open source software for its CaaS platform. Nogin's inability to obtain third-party licenses for such software, or obtain them on favorable terms, or any errors, bugs, defects or failures caused by such software could adversely affect Nogin's business, results
of operations and financial condition.
Nogin's use of open source software could subject it to possible litigation or cause it to subject its CaaS platform to unwanted open source license conditions that could negatively impact Nogin's sales.
Nogin relies on computer hardware, purchased or leased, and software licensed from and services rendered by third parties in order to run its business.
Nogin's growth depends in part on the success of its strategic relationships with third parties.
Nogin could incur substantial costs in protecting or defending its proprietary rights. Failure to adequately protect Nogin's rights could impair its competitive position and it could lose valuable assets, experience reduced revenue, and incur costly litigation.
If Nogin fails to execute invention assignment agreements with its employees and contractors involved in the development of intellectual property or is unable to protect the confidentiality of its trade secrets, the value of Nogin's products and Nogin's business and competitive position could be
harmed.
Evolving global laws, regulations and standards, privacy regulations, cross-border data transfer restrictions, and data localization requirements may limit the use and adoption of Nogin's services, expose it to liability, or otherwise adversely affect its business.
Nogin is subject to governmental export and import controls that could impair its ability to compete in international markets and subject it to liability if Nogin violates the controls.
