Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K 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 the Company and the Seller. Certain statements included in this Form 8-K that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 strategies or plans as they relate to the proposed Transaction, 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 the Company and the Seller believes that there is a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Current Report, each of the Company and the Seller caution 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 relating to the proposed Transaction, which is expected to be filed by the Company with the SEC, and other documents filed by the Company 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 expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements in this Current Report. Forward-looking statements in this Current Report include statements regarding the proposed Transaction, including the timing and structure of the Transaction, the proceeds of the Transaction and the benefits of the Transaction. Neither the Company nor the Seller 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: the impact of reduction, modification or elimination of government subsidies and economic incentives (including, but not limited to, with respect to solar parks); the impact of decreases in spot market prices for electricity; dependence on acquisitions for growth in the Seller’s business; inherent risks relating to acquisitions and the Seller’s ability to manage its growth and changing business; risks relating to developing and managing renewable solar projects; risks relating to PV plant quality and performance; risks relating to planning permissions for solar parks and government regulation; the Seller’s need for significant financial resources (including, but not limited to, for growth in its business); the need for financing in order to maintain future profitability; the lack of any assurance or guarantee that the Seller can raise capital or meet its funding needs; the Seller’s limited operating history; risks relating to operating internationally, include currency risks and legal, compliance and execution risks of operating internationally; the potential inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination; the risk that any 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 proposed business combination; the approval of the stockholders of the Company is not obtained; the risk of failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; the amount of redemption requests made by the Company’s stockholders exceeds expectations or current market norms; the ability of the Seller or the combined company to obtain equity or other financing in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Transaction; costs related to the proposed business combination; the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic; the effects of inflation and changes in interest rates; an economic slowdown, recession or contraction of the global economy; a financial or liquidity crisis; geopolitical factors, including, but not limited to, the Russian invasion of Ukraine; global supply chain concerns; the status of debt and equity markets (including, market volatility and uncertainty); and other risks and uncertainties, including those risks to be included under the heading “Risk Factors” in the proxy statement to be filed by the Company with the SEC and also those included under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated February 23, 2022 and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by the Company, the Seller their respective directors, officers, affiliates, advisers or employees (or any other person) that the Company and the Seller 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 the Company and the Seller as of the date of this Current Report. Risks in addition to those set forth herein may also materialize. Moreover, the Company’s and the Seller’s assumptions may prove to be incorrect. Actual results could differ materially from the results implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements in this Current Report. There may also be additional risks that neither the Company nor the Seller presently know, or that neither the Company nor the Seller currently believe are material, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements do not reflect the Company’s or the Seller’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views after the date of this Current Report. Subsequent events and developments may cause the Company’s and the Seller’s assessments to materially change. While the Company and the Seller may choose to update these forward-looking statements in the future, there is no current intention or plan to do so. Except to the extent required by applicable law, neither the Company nor the Seller undertakes to update, supplement or amend any of the forward-looking statements in this Current Report at any time after the date hereof. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of the Company or the Seller as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

POSITIVE DIRECT SOCIAL IMPACT GOVERNANCE The Alternus Sustainable Arts Initiative was established in 2022 as a tangible application of Alternus Energy’s sustainability policy in addition to our work in the renewable sector.The Initiative was established to foster sustainability in the arts by supporting artists and providing them with a platform to share their work and create value for their art. Artists are tasked with creating art with recycled or repurposed materials. Alternus signed an initial 3-year partnership with NCAD National College of Art and Design in Ireland. Winning artists receive a financial reward, and all artwork is displayed on the initiative's website. The physical artwork is displayed in Alternus Energy's offices and partner offices around the world.

This is achieved by offering long-term government-backed contracts to renewable energy producers, typically based on the cost of generation of each technology ? The duration of the FiT varies between 8-25 years depending on the country, region and technology ? The FiT rate is not uniform across all renewable energy generating technologies and varies based on numerous criteria and costs ? In Italy and Germany Alternus current operational parks benefit from a 20-year government-backed FiT under the Conto Energia and EEG respectively. In the Netherlands Alternus operational park benefits from a 15-year government-backed FiT under the SDE+ mechanism ? All current PPAs for Alternus operational parks are contracted with a utility or energy supplier as the counterparty. Currently ALTN benefits from both a FiT and PPA payment for its Italian operational assets. The company also benefits from a PPA payment as well as Green Certificates for its operational assets in Romania ? A utility PPA is the most common form of PPA, whereby an energy generator enters into an agreement with an energy supplier/utility to purchase the energy produced by the generator ? The contract will stipulate that the generator delivers the power to the energy supplier/utility where the project is physically connected to the grid network ? The terms of the contract can vary depending on the requirements on the energy generator, but it can be arranged that the energy generator is paid a fixed price per kWh of energy produced ? The length of the contract can vary and depends on the requirements of the energy generator but generally can be anywhere between 3 up to 10 years
