CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report (as defined below), including, without limitation, statements under Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act (as defined below) and Section 21E of the Exchange Act (as defined below). These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “potential,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “should,” “could” or “would” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. Such statements include, but are not limited to, any statements relating to our ability to consummate any acquisition or other Business Combination (as defined below) and any other statements that are not statements of current or historical facts. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Management’s (as defined below) current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to:

●

our ability to complete our initial Business Combination, including the Boost Run Business Combination (as defined below);

●

our expectations regarding the potential performance of the prospective target business or businesses, such as the business of Boost Run (as defined below);

●

our success in retaining or recruiting our officers, key employees or directors following our initial Business Combination;

●

our officers and directors’ ability to allocate sufficient time to reviewing and considering our initial Business Combination, including considerations related to potential conflicts of interest;

●

the potential issues associated with entering into a Business Combination agreement with an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value or is unprofitable;

●

our potential ability to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination, if needed;

●

the ability of our Management Team (as defined below) to generate and execute on potential acquisition opportunities that will generate value for our shareholders, if needed;

●

our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;

●

our ability to use proceeds not held in the Trust Account (as defined below) or available to us from interest income on the Trust Account balance;

●

our Trust Account potentially being subject to claims of third parties;

●

the value of the Founder Shares (as defined below) following completion of our initial Business Combination likely being substantially higher than the nominal price paid for them, even if the trading price of our Public Shares (as defined below) at such time is substantially less than the Redemption Price (as defined below);

●

the impact on the amount held in the Trust Account, our capitalization, principal shareholders and other effects on our Company (as defined below) or Management Team should we seek to extend the Combination Period (as defined below) consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules;

●

our financial performance; or

●

the other risks and uncertainties discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” below.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
