Disclaimer CONFIDENTIAL INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA Although all information and opinions expressed in this Presentation, including market data and other statistical information, were obtained from sources believed to be reliable and are included in good faith, Allego and Spartan have not independently verified the information and make no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to its accuracy or completeness. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of Allego and Spartan, which are derived from their respective reviews of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. This Presentation contains preliminary information only, is subject to change at any time and, is not, and should not be assumed to be, complete or to constitute all the information necessary to adequately make an informed decision regarding your engagement with Allego and Spartan. USE OF PROJECTIONS This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Allego, including, but not limited to, estimated results for fiscal years 2021 to 2026. Such projected financial information constitutes forward-looking information, and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See "Forward Looking Statements" paragraph above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved. Neither Spartan's nor Allego's independent auditors have audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES; CURRENCY CONVERSION The financial information and data contained in this Presentation, including as of and for fiscal year 2020, is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement, prospectus or registration statement to be filed by NewCo or Spartan with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as EBITDA, Operational EBITDA and free cash flow, have not been prepared in accordance with Dutch generally accepted accounting principles ("Dutch GAAP"), United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP" and together with Dutch GAAP, "GAAP", as the context may require) or the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). We define (i) EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (ii) Operational EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for reorganization costs, certain business optimization costs, lease buyouts, anticipated board compensation costs and director and officer insurance costs and anticipated transaction costs and (iii) free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Spartan and Allego believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Allego's financial condition and results of operations. Allego's management uses these non-GAAP measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Spartan and Allego believe that the use of these non- GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing Allego's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Allego's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are provided in the Appendix to this Presentation. Allego's financial results are denominated in euros. In order to compare its results with those of comparable businesses, Allego's financial results or projected results may be denominated in US dollars in the Presentation, representing an exchange rate of 1.18 USD/EUR as of 7/23/2021. CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING THE ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF WARRANTS In light of the SEC's Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies issued on April 12, 2021 (the "Statement"), Spartan is currently re-evaluating the classification of its warrants for accounting purposes. If Spartan concludes that its warrants should be accounted for as a liability (rather than as equity), the fair value of the warrants will need to be determined, Spartan's previously issued financial statements may be subject to revision or restatement, and Spartan may be required to file a Form 8-K under Item 4.02 (Non Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review). Relatedly, Spartan is also assessing the adequacy of its internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and is considering whether its prior disclosure on the evaluation of such internal controls needs to be revised in amended filings. This assessment may result in the identification of a material weakness in Spartan's internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. The full impact of the Statement is still being assessed and as such further risks may be identified with respect thereto. TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES Allego and Spartan own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses. This Presentation also contains trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners. The use or display of third parties' trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this Presentation is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with Allego or Spartan, or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of Allego or Spartan. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks and trade names referred to in this Presentation may appear with the Ⓡ, TM or SM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that Allego or Spartan will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, their rights or the right of the applicable licensor to these trademarks, service marks and trade names. CERTAIN RISKS RELATED TO ALLEGO All references to the "Company," "Allego," "we," "us," or "our" in this presentation refer to the business of Allego. The risks presented below are certain of the general risks related to Company's business, industry and ownership structure and are not exhaustive. The list below is qualified in its entirety by disclosures contained in future filings by the Company, its affiliates or by third parties with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These risks speak only as of the date of the Presentation, and we have no obligation to update the disclosures contained herein. The risks highlighted in future filings with the SEC may differ significantly from and will be more extensive than those presented below. Additional risks related to Allego in connection with and following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination are described above under "Forward Looking Statements." Allego is an early stage company with a history of operating losses, and expects to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the near term and medium term. Allego has experienced rapid growth and expects to invest substantially in growth for the foreseeable future. If it fails to manage growth effectively, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. Allego's forecasts and projections are based upon assumptions, analyses and internal estimates developed by Allego's management. If these assumptions, analyses or estimates prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, Allego's actual operating results may differ adversely and materially from those forecasted or projected. Allego's estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate. Allego currently faces competition from a number of companies and expects to face significant competition in the future as the market for EV charging develops. Allego faces risks related to health pandemics, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. Allego relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for its hardware equipment and charging stations. A loss of any of these partners could negatively affect its business. Allego's business is subject to risks associated with construction, grid connections, permitting, cost overruns and delays, and other contingencies that may arise in the course of completing installations, and such risks may increase in the future as Allego accelerates its development, expands its charging networks and increase its service to third parties. Allego's business is subject to risks associated with increased cost of land and competition from third parties that can create cost overruns and delays and can decrease the value of some of Allego's charging stations. allego 2
