Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such "forward-looking statements" with respect to the proposed transaction between WaveTech and WTMA include statements regarding the benefits of the transaction, the anticipated timing of the transaction and the products and markets of WaveTech. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of WTMA's securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by WTMA's business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by WTMA, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of WTMA, the satisfaction of the minimum amount in the trust account following redemptions by WTMA's public shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction, (v) the inability to complete the PIPE investment, (vi) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on WaveTech's business relationships, operating results, and business generally, (viii) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of WaveTech and potential difficulties in Company employee retention as a result of the transaction, (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against WaveTech or against WTMA related to the Merger Agreement or the proposed transaction, (x) the ability to maintain the listing of WTMA's securities on a national securities exchange, (xi) the price of WTMA's securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and regulated industries in which WTMA plans to operate or WaveTech operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting WTMA's or WaveTech's business, WaveTech's inability to implement its business plan or meet or exceed its financial projections and changes in the combined capital structure, (xii) changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and (xiii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the registration statement on Form S-4 discussed above, the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed or that may be filed by WTMA from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and WaveTech and WTMA assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither WaveTech nor WTMA gives any assurance that either WaveTech or WTMA, or the combined company, will achieve its expectations.
