such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,”
“will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or
other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or

share, expectations and timing related to commercial product
launches, ability to accelerate Canoo’s go-to-market strategy and

strategy, and expectations related to the terms and timing of
completing the transaction. These statements are based on various
assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and
on the current expectations of Canoo’s and HCAC’s management and
are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking
statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not
intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as,

of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are
difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from
assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the
control of Canoo and HCAC. These forward-looking statements are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes
in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and
legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or
timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that
any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or
are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect
the combined company or the expected benefits of the Business
Combination or that the approval of the stockholders of HCAC or
Canoo is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits
of the Business Combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of
the projected financial information with respect to Canoo; risks
related to the rollout of Canoo’s business and the timing of
expected business milestones and commercial launch; risks related
to future market adoption of Canoo’s offerings; risks related to
Canoo’s go-to-market strategy and subscription business model; the
effects of competition on Canoo’s future business; the amount of

of HCAC or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked
securities in connection with the Business Combination or in the
future, and those factors discussed in HCAC’s final prospectus
filed on March 4, 2019, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2019, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for
the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30,
2020 and the Registration Statement, and the definitive proxy
statement/prospectus contained therein, in each case, under the
heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of HCAC filed, or to be
filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially
from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There
may be additional risks that neither HCAC nor Canoo presently know
or that HCAC and Canoo currently believe are immaterial that could
also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the
forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements
reflect HCAC’s and Canoo’s expectations, plans or forecasts of
future events and views as of the date of this press release. HCAC
and Canoo anticipate that subsequent events and developments will
cause HCAC’s and Canoo’s assessments to change. However, while HCAC
and Canoo may elect to update these forward-looking statements at
some point in the future, HCAC and Canoo specifically disclaim any
obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be
relied upon as representing HCAC’s and Canoo’s assessments as of
any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly,
undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking
statements.
