This Current Report on Form 8-K, exhibits hereto and information incorporated by
reference herein, contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation

"project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future,"
"opportunity," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will
continue," "will likely result" and similar expressions, but the absence of
these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
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. Actual results may differ
from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should
not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.
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 Business Combination may not be completed in a
timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of the Company's
securities; (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of
the Business Combination, including the approval of the BCA by the stockholders
of the Company; (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance
that could give rise to the termination of the BCA; (iv) the outcome of any
legal proceedings that may be instituted against any of the parties to the BCA
following the announcement of the entry into the BCA and proposed Business
Combination; (v) the ability of the parties to recognize the benefits of the BCA
and the Business Combination; (vi) the lack of useful financial information for
an accurate estimate of future capital expenditures and future revenue; (vii)
statements regarding the industry and market size of Chijet, Pubco, Baoya or FAW
Jilin; (viii) financial condition and performance of Chijet and Pubco, including
the anticipated benefits, the implied enterprise value, the expected financial
impacts of the Business Combination, potential level of redemptions of the
Company's public shareholders, the financial condition, liquidity, results of
operations, the products, the expected future performance and market
opportunities of Chijet and Pubco; and (ix) and those factors discussed in the
Company's and Pubco's filings with the SEC and that will be contained in the
registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the Business Combination. You
should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and
uncertainties that will be described in the "Risk Factors" section of the
registration statement and other documents to be filed by the Company or Pubco
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 while
Pubco, Chijet and the Company may elect to update these forward-looking
statements at some point in the future, they assume no obligation to update or
revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, subject to applicable law. None of Pubco, Chijet or
the Company gives any assurance that Pubco, Chijet or the Company will achieve
its expectations.
