This publication does not constitute an offer of securities for sale or a solicitation of an offer to purchase 
securities (the "Securities") of Lakestar SPAC I SE (the "Company") in the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan or 
any other jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The Securities of the Company may not be 
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities 
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). There will be no public offering of the securities in the United

Securities referred to herein may not be offered or sold in Australia, Canada or Japan or to, or for the account or 
benefit of, any national, resident or citizen of Australia, Canada or Japan subject to certain exceptions. 
This publication constitutes neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to buy any securities. The securities have 
already been sold. 
In the United Kingdom, this publication is only being distributed to and is only directed at persons who are (i) 
investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial 
Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the "Order"), or (ii) persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order 
(high net worth companies, unincorporated associations, etc.) (all such persons together being referred to as "Relevant 
Persons"). This publication is directed only at Relevant Persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who

Relevant Persons and will be engaged in only with Relevant Persons. 
The Units are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or 
otherwise made available to any Retail Investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a "Retail Investor" means a person who 
is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU of the 
European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); 
(ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 
January 2016 on insurance distribution, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as 
defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation 
(EU) No 1286/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November 2014 on key information documents for 
packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Units or 
otherwise making them available to Retail Investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the

Solely for the purpose of the product governance requirements contained within (i) MiFID II, (ii) Articles 9 and 10 of 
Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 of 7 April 2016 supplementing MiFID II and (iii) local implementing 
measures (together, the "MiFID II Requirements"), and disclaiming any and all liability, whether arising in tort, 
contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Requirements) may otherwise have with 
respect thereto, the Public Shares and Public Warrants have been subject to a product approval process. As a result, it 
has been determined that (i) the Public Shares are (a) compatible with an end target market of Retail Investors and 
investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II, and 
(b) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels permitted by MiFID II and (ii) the Public Warrants are 
(a) compatible with an end target market of investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible 
counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II, and (b) eligible for distribution to professional clients and eligible 
counterparties through all distribution channels permitted by MiFID II.
