DISCLAIMER
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to,
SVF's and Symbotic's expectations or predictions of future financial or business
performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to
risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not
historical facts, including statements concerning our possible or assumed future
actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are
forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or
include the words "believes," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "forecasts,"
"may," "will," "should," "seeks," "plans," "scheduled," "anticipates" or
"intends" or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ
materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are
identified and discussed in SVF's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 23, 2022 (the "Annual
Report"), SVF's post-effective amendment no. 1 to the registration statement on
Form S-4 (File No. 333-262529) (as amended, the "Registration Statement"), which
was declared effective by the SEC on May 31, 2022, and SVF's final proxy
statement and prospectus filed with the SEC on June 1, 2022 (the "Final Proxy
Statement/Prospectus"). These risk factors will be important to consider in
determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These
forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and SVF and Symbotic
believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance
that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking
statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as
of the date they are made, and neither SVF nor Symbotic is under any obligation,
and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the
statements set forth in the reports, which SVF has filed or will file from time
to time with the SEC.
In addition to factors previously disclosed in SVF's Annual Report, in the
Registration Statement, in the Final Proxy Statement/Prospectus and those
identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others,
could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements
or historical performance: ability to meet the closing conditions to the
Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement; delay in closing the
Business Combination; failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed
transaction; the effects of pending and future legislation; risks related to
disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the
proposed transaction; business disruption following the transaction; risks
related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition and
results of operations of SVF and Symbotic; the occurrence of any event, change
or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger
Agreement or the termination of any of certain subscription agreements entered
into by SVF with certain parties in connection with the Merger
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreement; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on
Symbotic's business relationships, performance, and business generally; the
ability to meet NASDAQ listing standards following the consummation of the
Business Combination; the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges
related to the transaction; the ability of SVF to issue equity securities in
connection with the transaction; and other consequences associated with mergers,
acquisitions and divestitures and legislative and regulatory actions and
reforms.
Any financial projections in this communication are forward-looking statements
that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond SVF's and Symbotic's
control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, SVF and Symbotic
believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves
increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends
from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the
projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of
significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the
projections. The inclusion of projections in this communication should not be
regarded as an indication that SVF and Symbotic, or their representatives,
considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future
events.
Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative
purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.
This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the
information that a person may desire in considering an investment in SVF and is
not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in SVF. All subsequent
written and oral forward-looking statements concerning SVF and Symbotic, the
proposed transaction or other matters and attributable to SVF and Symbotic or
any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by
the cautionary statements above.
