Representations and Warranties; Covenants

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties made customary representations and warranties for transactions of this type as of the date of the Merger Agreement and/or as of the date of the Closing or other specified date. The representations and warranties made by the Company and the Target will not survive the Closing. Many of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect. "Material Adverse Effect" as used in the Merger Agreement means, with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person or entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of such person or entity or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the ancillary documents to which it is a party or bound or to perform its obligations thereunder, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions. Certain of the representations are subject to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement.

In addition, the parties to the Merger Agreement agreed to be bound by certain covenants that are customary for transactions of this type, including obligations of the parties to use commercially reasonable efforts to operate their respective businesses in the ordinary course, to refrain from taking certain specified actions without the prior written consent of the applicable party, not to engage in trading on material nonpublic information and to maintain confidentiality, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. Additionally, the parties have agreed not to disparage each other or to solicit, negotiate or enter into a competing transaction. The Company has covenanted to hold a meeting of stockholders of the Company for the purpose of approving the Business Combination and the Merger Agreement. The covenants further provide that the Company may use reasonable commercial efforts to enter into subscription agreements for a private equity investment in the Company on terms reasonable acceptable to the Company and Target. The covenants of the parties in the Merger Agreement generally will not survive the Closing, subject to certain exceptions, including certain covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and operating results, our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services; and other statements identified by words such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "believe," "intend," "plan," "projection," "outlook" or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Target's industry and market sizes, future opportunities for the Company and the Target, the Company's and the Target's estimated future results and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the implied enterprise value, the expected transaction and ownership structure and the likelihood and ability of the parties to successfully consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in the Company's reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: (i) the risk that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of the Company's securities; (ii) the risk that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may not be completed by the Company's Business Combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the Business Combination deadline if sought by the Company; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, the satisfaction of the minimum cash amount following redemptions by the Company's public stockholders, the completion of the merger with Capture, the License Agreement Amendments and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (v) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement on the Target's business relationships, performance and business generally; (vi) risks that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement disrupt current plans and operations of the Target; (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Target or the Company related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby; (viii) the ability to maintain the listing of the Company's securities on Nasdaq Capital Market; (ix) the price of the Company's securities, including following the Closing, may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and regulated industries in which the Target operates, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting the Target's business and changes in the capital structure; (x) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and identify and realize additional opportunities; (xi) the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which the Target operates, and the risk of changes in applicable law, rules, regulations and regulatory guidance that could adversely impact the Target's operations or the SPAC market generally; (xii) the risk that the Target and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize the Target's products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so; (xiii) the risk that the Target may not achieve or sustain profitability; (xiv) the risk that the Target will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; (xv) the risk that the Target experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; and (xvi) the ability to complete a PIPE financing on attractive terms or at all.

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on . . .
