Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or TCAC's or SpringBig's future financial or operating performance. For example, statements about the expected timing of the completion of the Business Combination, the benefits of the Business Combination, the competitive environment, and the expected future performance (including future revenue, pro format enterprise value, and cash balance) and market opportunities of SpringBig are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "expect," "intend," "will," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "predict," "potential" or "continue," or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that,
while considered reasonable by TCAC and its management, and SpringBig and its
management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are
not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances
that could give rise to the termination of the Amended and Restated Merger
Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted
against TCAC, SpringBig, the combined company or others following the
announcement of the Business Combination; (3) the inability to complete the
Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders
of TCAC or to satisfy other conditions to closing, including the satisfaction of
the minimum trust account amount following any redemptions; (4) changes to the
proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or
appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to
obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (5) the ability to
meet stock exchange listing standards at or following the consummation of the
Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts
current plans and operations of SpringBig as a result of the announcement and
consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize the
anticipated benefits of the 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; (8) costs related to the Business
Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility
that SpringBig or the combined company may be adversely affected by other

history of SpringBig; (12) the SpringBig business is subject to significant
governmental regulation; (13) the SpringBig business may not successfully expand
