Risks Related to FiscalNote's Business

FiscalNote has a history of net losses, anticipates increasing operating expenses in the future, and may not be able to achieve and, if achieved, maintain profitability.
FiscalNote generates a significant percentage of its revenues from recurring subscription-based arrangements, and if it is unable to maintain a high renewal rate, its business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

growth and profitability will be harmed.
FiscalNote's efforts to expand its service offerings and to develop and integrate its existing services in order to keep pace with policy, regulatory, political and technological developments may not succeed.

that are satisfactory to it from a commercial perspective.
FiscalNote may not realize expected business or financial benefits from acquisitions or integrate acquired businesses in an efficient and effective manner, or such acquisitions could divert management's attention, increase
capital requirements or dilute stockholder value and materially and adversely affect FiscalNote's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
FiscalNote recognizes revenues over the term of the agreements for its subscriptions and, as a result, there is often a lag in realizing the impact of current sales or cancellations in reported revenues by FiscalNote, and a
significant downturn in FiscalNote's business may not be reflected immediately in its operating results.
FiscalNote's sales cycles are variable, depend upon factors outside its control, and could cause it to expend significant time and resources prior to generating revenues.
FiscalNote may experience fluctuations in its quarterly and annual operating results.
If FiscalNote has overestimated the size of its total addressable market, FiscalNote's future growth rate may be limited.
FiscalNote relies on third parties, including public sources, for data, information and other products and services, and FiscalNote's relationships with such third parties may not be successful or may change, which could
adversely affect its results of operations.
If FiscalNote is not able to obtain and maintain accurate, comprehensive, or reliable data, it could experience reduced demand for its products and services.

efforts, or if its research and development investments do not translate into material enhancements to its products and services, FiscalNote may not be able to compete effectively, and its business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects may be adversely affected.
