Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains, and certain oral statements made by representatives of Babylon and the Company and their respective affiliates, from time to time may contain, a number of "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Babylon's or the Company's management's control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors include, but are not limited to: (a) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement and the proposed Business Combination contemplated thereby; (b) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (c) the ability to meet New York Stock Exchange listing standards following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (d) the failure of investors in the PIPE to fund their commitments upon the closing of the proposed Business Combination; (e) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Babylon or its subsidiaries as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein; (f) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (g) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (h) changes in applicable laws or regulations, including legal or regulatory developments (such as the SEC's recently released statement on accounting and reporting considerations for warrants in SPACs) which could result in the need for the Company to restate its historical financial statements and cause unforeseen delays in the timing of the Business Combination and negatively impact the trading price of the Company's securities and the attractiveness of the Business Combination to investors; (i) the possibility that Babylon may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; and (j) other risks and uncertainties to be identified in the registration/proxy statement relating to the Business Combination, and in other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by the Company and Babylon and available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
