Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated into this Item 7.01 herein by reference is the investor call script dated March 3, 2022 that Provident Acquisition Corp. (“Provident”) and Perfect Corp. (“Perfect”) have prepared in connection with the announcement of the proposed transactions involving Provident and Perfect (the “Business Combination”) and the PIPE financing in connection with the Business Combination.

The Exhibit 99.1 being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and will not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings. This Current Report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to Provident and Perfect. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “seek” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including the capability of Perfect’s technology and Perfect’s business plans are also forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward- looking statements. Although each of Provident and Perfect believes that it has a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Current Report, each of Provident and Perfect cautions you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known and projections of the future, which are inherently uncertain. In addition, there will be risks and uncertainties described in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed transaction, which is expected to be filed by Perfect with the SEC, and other documents filed by Perfect or Provident from time to time with the SEC. These filings may 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. Neither Provident nor Perfect can assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Current Report will prove to be accurate. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the ability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval from Provident’s shareholders or satisfy other closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, the amount of redemption requests made by Provident’s public shareholders, costs related to the transaction, the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the risk that the transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transaction, the outcome of any potential litigation, government or regulatory proceedings and other risks and uncertainties, including those to be included under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement to be filed by Perfect with the SEC and those included under the heading “Risk Factors” in the annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2020 of Provident and in its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither Provident nor Perfect presently knows or that Provident and Perfect currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by Provident, Perfect, their respective directors, officers or employees or any other person that Provident and Perfect will achieve their objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report represent the views of Provident and Perfect as of the date of this Current Report. Subsequent events and developments may cause those views to change. However, while Provident and Perfect may update these forward-looking statements in the future, there is no current intention to do so, except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of Provident or Perfect as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report.
