Rigetti SPAC Presentation Deck

Risk Factors (continued) • Rigetti's international sales and operations subject it to additional risks and costs, including the ability to engage with customers in new geographies, exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, that can adversely affect its business, financial condition, revenues, results of operations or cash flows. • Rigetti's quantum computing systems may not be compatible with some or all industry-standard software and hardware in the future, which could harm its business. • Rigetti may rely heavily on future collaborative partners and third parties to develop key, relevant algorithms and programming to make its quantum systems commercially viable. • System security and data protection breaches, as well as cyber-attacks, could disrupt Rigetti's operations, which may damage its reputation and adversely affect its business. • Unfavorable conditions in Rigetti's industry or the global economy, could limit Rigetti's ability to grow its business and negatively affect its results of operations. • Government actions and regulations, such as tariffs and trade protection measures, may limit Rigetti's ability to obtain products from its suppliers or sell its products and services to customers. • Acquisitions, divestitures, strategic investments and strategic partnerships could disrupt Rigetti's business and harm its financial condition and operating results. Rigetti has been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, its various strains or future pandemics. • Rigetti's facilities or operations could be damaged or adversely affected as a result of prolonged power outages, natural disasters and other catastrophic events. • State, federal and foreign laws and regulations related to privacy, data use and security could adversely affect Rigetti. • Rigetti is subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption, anti-bribery and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject it to criminal or civil liability and harm its business. • Rigetti is subject to governmental export and import controls that could impair its ability to compete in international markets due to licensing requirements and subject it to liability if it is not in compliance with applicable laws. • Rigetti's business is exposed to risks associated with litigation, investigations and regulatory proceedings. 45 • Rigetti may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm its financial condition and liquidity if it is not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims. • Rigetti is subject to requirements relating to environmental and safety regulations and environmental remediation matters which could adversely affect its business, results of operation and reputation. • If Rigetti is unable to obtain and maintain patent protection for its products and technology, or if the scope of the patent protection obtained is not sufficiently broad or robust, its competitors could develop and commercialize products and technology similar or identical to Rigetti's, and Rigetti's ability to successfully commercialize its product and technology may be adversely affected. Moreover, the secrecy of its trade secrets could be compromised, which could cause Rigetti to lose the competitive advantage resulting from these trade secrets. • Rigetti's patent applications may not result in issued patents or its patent rights may be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its ability to prevent others from interfering with the commercialization of its products. • Rigetti may face patent infringement and other intellectual property claims that could be costly to defend, result in injunctions and significant damage awards or other costs (including indemnification of third parties or costly licensing arrangements (if licenses are available at all) and limit its ability to use certain key technologies in the future or require development of non-infringing products, services, or technologies, which could result in a significant expenditure and otherwise harm its business. Rigetti relies on certain open-source software in its quantum systems. If licensing terms change, Rigetti's business may be adversely affected. . Some of Rigetti's intellectual property has been or may be conceived or developed through government-funded research and thus may be subject to federal regulations providing for certain rights for the U.S. government or imposing certain obligations on it, such as a license to the U.S. government under such intellectual property, "march- in" rights, certain reporting requirements and a preference for U.S.-based companies, and compliance with such regulations may limit its exclusive rights and its ability to contract with non-U.S. manufacturers. ● rigetti
