Forward-LookingStatements This Presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and also contains certain financial forecasts and projections. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Presentation, including statements as to future results of operations and financial position, planned products and services, business strategy and plans, objectives of management for future operations of the Company, market size and growth opportunities, competitive position and technological and market trends, are forward-looking statements. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, including “anticipate,” “expect,” “suggests,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “forecast” or other similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are based upon current estimates and forecasts and reflect the views, assumptions, expectations, and opinions of SPAC and the Company as of the date of this Presentation, and are therefore subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to: the success of the new product or service offerings of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), the Group’s ability to attract new and retain existing customers, competitive pressures in the industry in which the Group operates, the Group’s ability to achieve profitability despite a history of losses, the Group’s ability to implement its growth strategies and manage its growth, the Group’s ability to meet consumer expectations, the Group’s ability to produce accurate forecasts of its operating and financial results, the Group’s internal controls, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Group’s ability to raise additional capital, media coverage of the Group, changes in the regulatory environments of the countries in which the Group operates, general economic conditions in the countries in which the Group operates, the Group’s ability to attract and retain senior management and skilled employees, the success of the Group’s strategic alliances and acquisitions, changes in the Group’s relationship with its current customers, suppliers and service providers, disruptions to information technology systems and networks, the Group’s ability to protect its brand and reputation, the Group’s ability to protect its intellectual property, potential and future litigation that the Group may be involved in, taxes or other liabilities that may be incurred or required subsequent to, or in connection with, the consummation of the Transaction. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. In light of these factors, risks and uncertainties, any estimates, assumptions, expectations, forecasts, views or opinions set forth in this Presentation should be regarded as indicative, preliminary and for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Presentation and the “Risk Factors” section of the proxy statement/prospectus on Form F-4 relating to the Transaction, which has been confidentially submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and other documents filed from time to time with SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materiallyfrom those contained in the forward-lookingstatements. SPAC and the Company assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-lookingstatements,whether as a result of new information,future events or otherwise. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may emerge from time to time. It is not possible to predict all risks, or assess the impact of all factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial condition. In addition, the analyses of SPAC and the Company contained herein are not, and do not purport to be, appraisals of the securities, assets or business of the Company, SPAC or any other entity. There may be additional risks that neither SPAC nor the Company presently know or that SPAC and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s and SPAC’s assessment as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-lookingstatements. |
2 Disclaimer (Cont’d) IndustryandMarketData This Presentation also contains information, estimates and other statistical data derived from third party sources (including Frost & Sullivan). Such information involves a number of assumptions and limitations and due to the nature of the techniques and methodologies used in market research, and Frost & Sullivan cannot guarantee the accuracy of such information. You are cautioned not to give undue weight on such estimates. Neither SPAC nor the Company has independently verified such third party information, and makes no representation, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability or availability of such third party information. SPAC and the Company may have supplemented such information where necessary, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants. Use ofProjectionsandHistoricalFinancialInformation The 2019 and 2020 historical financial data included in this Presentation has been derived from Prenetics Limited’s 2019 and 2020 financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) and are subject to updates based on an ongoing external audit in accordance with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards. In addition, the Company’s quarterly financial data included in this Presentation is based on financial data derived from the Company’s management accounts that have not been reviewed or audited and are subject to further review and updates. This Presentation contains financial forecasts for the Company with respect to certain financial results for the Company’s fiscal years 2021 through 2025 for illustrative purposes. Neither SPAC’s nor the Company’s independent auditors have audited, studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. These projections are forward-looking statements and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. In this Presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been provided for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. While such information and projections are necessarily speculative, SPAC and the Company believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of the Company or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. All subsequent written and oral forward-lookingstatements concerning the Company and SPAC, the Transaction or other matters and attributable to the Company and SPAC or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Non-IFRSFinancialMeasures This Presentation also includes references to non-IFRS financial measures, such as the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for 2019 and 2020. Such non-IFRS measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. SPAC and the Company believe these non-IFRS measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. SPAC and the Company believe that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures are subject to inherent limitationsas they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-IFRS financial measures. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-IFRS basis without reconciliations due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. |

71 Risks Relating to Prenetics’s Business Key Risks Relating to Prenetics’sBusiness 1. A significant portion of Prenetics’s historical revenue was, and its near-term revenue will be generated, from its COVID-19 testing services, the demand for which may be substantially reduced with the production and widely administered use of an efficacious vaccine or treatment for COVID-19, and failure of Prenetics to derive significant revenue from other products and services and expand its overall customer base would harm its business and results of operation. 2. The diagnostic testing market, particularly with respect to COVID-19 testing, is highly competitive, and many of Prenetics’s competitors are larger, better established and have greater financial and other resources. 3. The consumer genetic testing market is highly competitive, and many of Prenetics’s competitors are more established and have stronger marketing capabilities and greater financial resources, which presents a continuous threat to the success of its consumer genetic testing business. 4. Prenetics’s near-term success is highly dependent on the successful launch of Circle HealthPod and the continued commercialization of its COVID-19 testing services in its target geographies. If Prenetics’s existing or new products are unable to attain market acceptance or be successfully commercialized in all or any of these jurisdictions, its business and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. 5. Prenetics relies substantially on third-party contract manufacturers for the manufacturing, quality-testing, assembly and shipping of its COVID-19 test kit, Circle HealthPod and other products. Any termination of significant rights under the existing arrangements would disrupt Prenetics’s ability to sell and distribute its COVID-19 test kit, Circle HealthPod and other products until and unless it finds new contract manufacturers, which would materially and adversely affect its business. 6. Prenetics has a number of pipeline products that are currently in the R&D phase, including Circle Medical, Circle SnapShot, future assays of Circle HealthPod, Circle One and F1x and Fem, and may not be successful in its efforts to develop any of these or other products into marketable products. Any failure to develop these or other products or any delay in the development could adversely affect its business and future prospects. 7. Clinical trials, and verification and validation studies necessary to support a future product submission with regulatory authorities will be expensive and may require the enrollment of large numbers of subjects or the availability of a large number of test samples, and suitable subjects or samples may be difficult to identify and recruit or obtain. Delays or failures in Prenetics’s clinical trials will prevent it from commercializing any modified or new products and will adversely affect its business, operating results and prospects. 8. If the third parties engaged by Prenetics to conduct clinical trials fail to render their services as contractually required or expected, Prenetics may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize its products. 9. If Prenetics is not successful in leveraging its platform and technology to discover, develop and commercialize additional products, its ability to expand its business and achieve its strategic objectives would be impaired. 10. If Prenetics’s products and services do not deliver reliable results as expected, its reputation, business and operating results will be adversely affected. Other Risks Relating to Prenetics’sBusiness 1. Prenetics has incurred net losses since its inception, and it anticipates that it will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, which could harm its future business prospects. 2. Prenetics is an early-stage company and has a limited operating history, and its near-term business strategy and in-house R&D efforts are centered around new and rapidly developing markets including point-of-care testing (POCT) for infectious diseases diagnosis, which may make it difficult to evaluate its current business and predict its future performance. 3. Prenetics has a limited history introducing new products and services to its customers. The future prospects of its business may be harmed if Prenetics’s efforts to attract new customers and engage existing customers by introducing new products, including Circle HealthPod, are unsuccessful. 4. Prenetics may not be able to achieve or maintain satisfactory pricing and margins, and its pricing strategies may not meet customers’ price expectations, which could adversely affect its revenues and results of operations. 5. Prenetics has increased, and expects to further expand, the size of its organization, and it may experience difficulties in managing its growth. If Prenetics is unable to manage the anticipated growth of its business, its future revenue and operating results may be harmed. 6. The initial use of Prenetics’s test kits requires users to follow instructions, and not adhering to instructions may lead to false results and inaccurate outcomes, which could harm the user experience and customer perception of Prenetics’s products. 7. Some of Prenetics’s marketing initiatives, including celebrity and key opinion leader endorsement and use of social media, may adversely affect Prenetics’s reputation. 8. Prenetics relies substantially on its research collaboration with Oxford for development and commercialization of its POCT infectious disease testing products. If Oxford is unable to achieve projected development milestones or produce any meaningful research results, or experiences delays in doing so, Prenetics may not be able to capitalize on its investment in the collaboration projects and its business and reputation may be adversely affected. 9. Prenetics relies on a limited number of suppliers for Circle HealthPod components, COVID-19 test kit materials and laboratory testing services for COVID-19 test kit and CircleDNA, and may not be able to find replacements or immediately transition to alternative suppliers, which could adversely affect its ability to meet customer demand. 10. The operating results of Prenetics may fluctuate significantly, which makes its future operating results difficult to predict and could cause its operating results to fall below expectations. 11. Prenetics’s business significantly depends upon the strength of Prenetics’s brands, including Prenetics, CircleDNA and Circle HealthPod, and any harm to Prenetics’s brands or reputation may materially and adversely affect its business and results of operations. 12. If Prenetics cannot provide quality technical and customer and user support, it could lose customers, and its business and prospects may be adversely affected. 13. If Prenetics is unable to successfully expand its sales and marketing infrastructure to match its growth, its business may be adversely affected. 14. Prenetics is highly dependent on its senior management team and key advisors and personnel, and its business and operating results could be harmed if it is unable to retain senior management and key personnel and to attract and retain qualified personnel necessary for its business. |
72 Risks Relating to Prenetics’s Business (Cont’d) Other Risks Relating to Prenetics’sBusiness (Cont’d) 15. The sizes of the markets and forecasts of market growth for the demand of Prenetics’s current and pipeline products and services are based on a number of complex assumptions and estimates that are subject to change, and may be inaccurate. 16. Prenetics may need to raise additional funds to develop its platform, commercialize new products or expand its operations, and it may be unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms. 17. Prenetics plans to enter new business areas, such as clinical genetic testing and personalized care, where Prenetics does not have any experience or has minimal experience. Prenetics would likely face competition from entities more familiar with those businesses, and Prenetics’s efforts may not succeed. 18. Prenetics may engage in acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances in the future, which could require significant management attention and resources, may not achieve their intended results and could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. 19. Prenetics may incur debt or assume contingent or other liabilities or dilute Prenetics’s shareholders in connection with acquisitions or strategic alliances. 20. If PubCo fails to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls in the future, PubCo may be unable to accurately report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in Prenetics and, as a result, the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants. 21. U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union could have an adverse impact on Prenetics’s business. 22. If Prenetics, its suppliers or its contract manufacturers experience any significant business disruptions, Prenetics’s operations and financial condition could be seriously harmed. 23. Prenetics depends on the information systems of its own and those of third parties for the effective service on Prenetics’s website, mobile applications, or in Prenetics’s computer or logistics systems, and the overall effective and efficient functioning of its business. Failure to maintain or protect Prenetics’s information systems and data integrity effectively could harm Prenetics’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 24. The COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect Prenetics’s business and results of operations. Risks Relating to Doing Business in Hong Kong 1. The business, financial condition and results of operations of Prenetics, and/ or the value of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo’s ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected to the extent the laws and regulations of the PRC become applicable to Prenetics. 2. The PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the manner in which companies incorporated under the laws of PRC must conduct their business activities. Although Prenetics is a Hong Kong-based company with no material operations in mainland China, if it were to become subject to such oversight or discretion, there may be a material change in its operations and/ or the value of PubCo’s securities, which would materially affect the interests of the investors. 3. Implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong involves uncertainty, and the recent policy pronouncements by the PRC government regarding business activities of U.S-listed Chinese businesses may negatively impact Prenetics’s existing and future operations in Hong Kong. 4. PubCo’s securities may be delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB were unable to inspect or fully investigate Prenetics’s auditor. The delisting of PubCo’s securities, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. Additionally, if the PCAOB were unable to conduct inspections or investigations of Prenetics’s auditor, it would deprive PubCo’s investors with the benefits of such inspections. 5. Prenetics may affected by the currency peg system in Hong Kong and other exchange rate fluctuations. 6. Increases in labor costs may adversely affect Prenetics’s business and results of operations. 7. Unfavorable economic and political conditions in Hong Kong and other parts of Asia could materially and adversely affect Prenetics’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Risks Relating to Government Regulation 1. Prenetics’s business collects and processes a large amount of data including personal information, and Prenetics will face legal, reputational, and financial risks if Prenetics fails to protect its customers’ data from security breaches or cyberattacks. Prenetics is also subject to various laws and regulations relating to privacy or the protection or transfer of data relating to individuals, and any change in such laws and regulations or any failure by Prenetics to comply with such laws and regulations could adversely affect Prenetics’s business. 2. Prenetics’s products and services are and will continue to be subject to extensive regulation, compliance of which could be costly and time-consuming or may cause unanticipated delays or prevent the receipt of the required approvals to offer Prenetics’s products and services. 3. Prenetics’s testing products are subject to various regulatory guidelines, and any identified deficiencies or quality issues in the components of the test kits and testing devices could result in product recalls and could harm its reputation, business and financial results. 4. Prenetics plans to expand its business and operations internationally to various jurisdictions in which it does not currently operate and where Prenetics has limited operating experience, all of which exposes Prenetics to business, regulatory, political, operational and financial risk. |
73 Risks Relating to Prenetics’s Business (Cont’d) Risks Relating to Intellectual Property and Legal Proceedings 1. Prenetics may be subject to legal proceedings and litigation, which are costly to defend, and adverse publicity about any investigation, litigation, regulatory or legal action against Prenetics or its senior management could harm its reputation and business. 2. Prenetics’s patent and other intellectual property protection may not be sufficient, and if Prenetics is unable to obtain, maintain and protect its intellectual property rights and proprietary information or prevent thirdparties from making unauthorized use of its technology, its business could be harmed. 3. Prenetics depends, and may depend in the future, on intellectual property licensed from third parties for development and commercialization of certain products, and the termination of the licenses or other agreements permitting Prenetics to use such intellectual property or failure of such third parties to maintain or protect such intellectual property could result in the loss of significant rights by Prenetics, which would harm its business. 4. Prenetics could be sued for products liability, which could result in substantial liabilities that exceed its resources. 5. Prenetics may be subject to claims that its employees, consultants or independent contractors have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information of third parties or that Prenetics’s employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers. 6. The diagnostic testing industry is characterized by intellectual property litigation and in the future Prenetics may be involved in patent litigation or other intellectual property infringement claims or administrative proceedings with respect to intellectual property that could be costly, result in the diversion of management’s time and efforts, and may disrupt its business and operations. 7. Patent terms may be inadequate to protect Prenetics’s competitive position on its products and services for an adequate amount of time. 8. Prenetics uses open source software, which may pose particular risks to its proprietary software and source code. Prenetics may face claims from open source licensors claiming ownership of, or demanding the release of, the intellectual property that it developed using or derived from such open source software. 9. Prenetics relies substantially on its trademarks and trade names. If its trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then Prenetics may not be able to build name recognition in its markets of interest and its business may be harmed. |
