As previously disclosed, on February 11, 2022, Northern Lights Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and 5AK, LLC, the Company's sponsor (the "Sponsor"), entered into a definitive unit purchase agreement (the "Unit Purchase Agreement") with SHF, LLC d/b/a Safe Harbor Financial, a Colorado limited liability company (the "Target"), SHF Holding Co., LLC, the sole member of the Target (the "Seller"), and Partner Colorado Credit Union, the sole member of the Seller (the "Seller Parent"), whereby the Company will purchase all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Target from the Seller (the "Business Combination").

Pursuant to the terms of the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Unit Purchase Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including, among others, if the Closing has not occurred by June 30, 2022 (the "Outside Date"). On June 30, 2022, the Company, the Sponsor, the Target, the Seller, and the Seller Parent agreed to amend the Unit Purchase Agreement to extend the Outside Date until July 29, 2022, with the ability for the deadline to be extended through August 31, 2022, to provide the Company with additional time to complete the Business Combination (the "UPA Extension") as it awaits regulatory approval.

As previously disclosed, the Company's stockholders approved the Business Combination at the special meeting of stockholders held on June 28, 2022. Stockholders who previously submitted redemption requests in connection with the closing of the Business Combination may request that such redemption requests be reversed by contacting the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. To the extent there are any material changes to the Business Combination as approved by the Company's stockholders, the Company will resolicit proxies.

Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in the Company's reports filed with the SEC, the Definitive Proxy Statement, and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: (i) the risk that the transactions contemplated by the Unit Purchase Agreement may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of the Company's securities; (ii) the risk that the transactions contemplated by the Unit Purchase Agreement may not be completed by the Company's business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by the Company; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Unit Purchase Agreement, including the adoption of the Unit Purchase Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, the satisfaction of the minimum cash amount following redemptions by the Company's public stockholders 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 transactions contemplated by the Unit Purchase Agreement; (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Unit Purchase Agreement; (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Unit Purchase Agreement on the Target's business relationships, performance and business generally; (vii) risks that the transactions contemplated by the Unit Purchase Agreement disrupt current plans and operations of the Target; (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Target or the Company related to the Unit Purchase Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ix) the ability to maintain the listing of the Company's securities on Nasdaq Capital Market; (x) the price of the Company's securities, including following the Closing, may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and regulated industries in which the Target operates, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting the Target's business and changes in the capital structure, and the dilutive impact of the shares to be issued in connection with the business combination, the private placement to be completed in conjunction with the business combination, and the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement; (xi) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Unit Purchase Agreement, and identify and realize additional opportunities; (xii) the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which the Target operates, and the risk of changes in applicable law, rules, regulations and regulatory guidance that could adversely impact the Target's operations; (xiii) the risk that the Target and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize the Target's products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so; (xiv) the risk that the Target may not achieve or sustain profitability; (xv) the risk that the Target will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; and (xvi) the risk that the Target experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations.

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof in the case of information about the Company and the Target or the date of such information in the case of information from persons other than the Company or the Target, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this communication. Forecasts and estimates regarding the Target's industry and end markets are based on sources we believe to be reliable, however there can be no assurance these forecasts and estimates will prove accurate in whole or in part. Annualized, pro forma, projected, and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.
