Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "estimate," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "target" or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company's and Vicarious Surgical's expectations with respect to the completion and timing of the PIPE. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of Vicarious Surgical's and D8 Holdings' management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Vicarious Surgical and D8 Holdings. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the shareholders of D8 Holdings or Vicarious Surgical is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Vicarious Surgical; future global, regional or local economic and market conditions; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations; Vicarious Surgical's ability to manage future growth; Vicarious Surgical's ability to develop new products and solutions, bring them to market in a timely manner, and make enhancements to its platform; the effects of competition on Vicarious Surgical's future business; the amount of redemption requests made by D8 Holdings' public stockholders; the ability of D8 Holdings or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; and those factors discussed in D8 Holdings' Annual Report under the heading "Risk Factors," and other documents of D8 Holdings filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Vicarious Surgical nor D8 Holdings presently know or that Vicarious Surgical and D8 Holdings currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Vicarious Surgical's and D8 Holdings' expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Form 8-K. Vicarious Surgical and D8 Holdings anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Vicarious Surgical's and D8 Holdings' assessments to change. However, while Vicarious Surgical and D8 Holdings may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Vicarious Surgical and D8 Holdings specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Vicarious Surgical's and D8 Holdings' assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.





No Offer or Solicitation

This Form 8-K shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination. This Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of section 10 of the Securities Act.
