Forward - Looking Statements: This presentation includes “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Nauticus’ and Combined Co’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward - looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward - looking statements.

C O P Y R I G H T , D I S C L A I M E R , A N D C O N F I D E N T I A L I T Y Industry, Market Data and Partnerships: In this presentation, Nauticus and SPAC rely on and refers to certain information and statistics regarding the markets and industries in which Nauticus competes. Such information and statistics are based on management’s estimates and/or obtained from third - party sources, including reports by market research firms and company filings. While Nauticus and SPAC believe such third - party information is reliable, there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of the indicated information. Nauticus and SPAC have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by the third - party sources. This Presentation contains descriptions of certain key business partnerships with Nauticus. These descriptions are based on the Nauticus management team’s discussion with such counterparties, certain non - binding written agreements and the latest available information and estimates as of the date of this Presentation. These descriptions are subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements with certain of such counterparties which have not been completed as of the date of this Presentation. Private Placement: The securities to which this presentation relates have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. This presentation relates to securities that Nauticus would intend to offer in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws. These exemptions apply to offers and sales of securities that do not involve a public offering. The securities have not been approved or recommended by any federal, state or foreign securities authorities, nor have any of these authorities passed upon the merits of this offering or determined that this presentation is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Confidentiality: The distribution and use by each recipient of the information contained in this Presentation and any other information provided to the recipient by or on behalf of Nauticus is governed by the Confidentiality Agreement ("Confidentiality Agreement"), a copy of which has been executed and delivered by each recipient and which strictly limits the circulation and copying of the information contained in this Presentation. If you have not executed and delivered such a Confidentiality Agreement, you have received this Presentation in error. If so, please notify Nauticus immediately, and return this Presentation to us. Except as provided in such Confidentiality Agreement, this Presentation may not be distributed, reproduced or used without the express consent of Nauticus or for any other purpose than the preliminary evaluation of a potential transaction by the person to whom this Presentation has been delivered. Use of Projections: This presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Nauticus. Such projected financial information contains forward - looking information and is for illustration purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecasts information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties.

Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in the presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved. 3

 

 

C O P Y R I G H T , D I S C L A I M E R , A N D C O N F I D E N T I A L I T Y Financial Information; Non - GAAP Financial Terms: The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in, or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement or registration statement or other report or document to be filed by CleanTech with the SEC. Furthermore, some of the projected financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as adjusted EBITDA (and related measures), has not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Nauticus and CleanTech believe these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Nauticus’ financial condition and results of operations. Nauticus’ management uses these non - GAAP measures for trends analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. Nauticus and CleanTech believe that use of these non - GAAP measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Nauticus’ financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. Management of Nauticus does not consider these non - GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non - GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Nauticus’ financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures. You should review Nauticus’ audited financial statements, which will be presented in CleanTech’s proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement to be filed with the SEC, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Nauticus’ business. A reconciliation of non - GAAP financial measures in the presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not included because, without unreasonable effort, Nauticus is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or timing of non - GAAP adjustments that are used to calculate these non - GAAP financial measures. Trademarks: This presentation contains trademarks, trade names and copyrights of Nauticus, CleanTech and other companies, which are the property of their respective owners. Additional Information and Where to Find it: This document relates to a proposed transaction between CleanTech and Nauticus. CleanTech intends to file a registration statement on Form S - 4 that will include a proxy statement and prospectus of CleanTech, and a consent solicitation statement of Nauticus. The proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement will be sent to all CleanTech and Nauticus’ stockholders. CleanTech also will file other documetns regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of CleanTech and Nauticus are urged to read the registration, the proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by Nauticus through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov . In addition, the documents filed by CleanTech may be obtained free of charge from CleanTech’s website at www.cleantechac.com or by written request to CleanTech at 207 West 25th Street, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10001. Participants in Solicitation: CleanTech and Nauticus and their respective directors and officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from CleanTech’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction. Information about CleanTech’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of CleanTech’s securities is set forth in CleanTech’s filings with the SEC, including CleanTech’s Registration Statement on Form S - 1, which was filed with the SEC on July 16, 2021. To the extent that holdings of CleanTech’s securities have changed since the amounts printed on CleanTech’s Registration Statement on Form S - 1, such changes will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of these persons and other persons who may be deemed participants in the proposed transaction may be obtained by reading the proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement when it becomes available. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph. 4

 

 

Just in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea, there is enough energy infrastructure to circle the earth, two and half times. There is an increasing pace of offshore renewable energy installations with billions more planned. Fighting climate change will require large amounts of time spent at sea and working subsurface. Worldwide ocean security needs are accelerating supporting defense missions and port management applications. Much of this will be explored, installed, maintained, operated, serviced, repaired, and decommissioned with underwater robots. However, heavy asset topside infrastructure including $100,000 per day support vessels and scores of people onsite required to operate these legacy machines are no longer viable. Too costly and constraining, these items must be removed and with them the long tether that bring these current systems to life with power and data. We can no longer afford the cost of this style of operation, the environmental impact, or the safety risk to the personnel. We must change the way we perform these ocean services. 5 WE W I LL .

16 “The global Blue Economy will grow faster than the general economy, almost doubling by 2030…” “…business - as - usual growth of economic activities in the ocean is not an option for the future” - O .E . C .D . So u r c e : O E C D .

 

 

The Blue Economy refers to sustainable use of ocean resources in order to fuel economic growth, improve livelihoods, support coastal communities, mitigate climate risks and safeguard the health of the ocean ecosystems. Blue Robotics is the evolving and growing robotic products and services that support these markets in a sustainable way. The World Wide Fund for Nature estimates that two - thirds of the ocean’s value relies on healthy conditions and that this value is deteriorating rapidly because of climate change and the way industries are exploiting the ocean’s products. This undermines the ocean’s role as a climate regulator and carbon sink, which are key to supporting future economic growth and the well - being of billions of people.

"Nauticus’ products such as Aquanaut and electric manipulators are viewed within [X] as technological developments ‘ahead of the curve’ of technology availability, breaking new ground in vision and operation. These technologies fully support [X]’ s vision toward full automation, remote control and eventual unmanned operations – with all the benefits that delivers, such as lowering CO2, risk, economics while also presenting exciting new areas of technology and ‘ways of working’ that will facilitate recruitment and retention of a new generation of personnel. Such remotely operated systems support both Oil & Gas infrastructure IMR, but also renewables and are hence of great interest to [X] as we also transition. Deployment of underwater vehicles such as the Aquanaut that offer greater functionality than a simple suite of geophysical sensors, aligns with our vision statement how such operations may be conducted." “This [Aquanaut] technology is an enabler. It’s an enabler for unlocking new ways of working, transforming the way we’re working and, not least, reducing CO 2 footprint and increasing competitiveness on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and internationally. We can move more of the task onshore, move people onshore closer to their homes.” ”Drones in general and underwater drones especially, are very important to us when it comes to achieving our goals. It is vital to work safely and to be able to reduce staff at our facilities and work more efficiently, as well as reducing our carbon footprint.” “[Z]’s vision for the future of subsea operations includes autonomous solutions for inspection and maintenance. An AUV/ROV that can perform its tasks without the need for an umbilical would be a great advancement and could gain a huge market on subsea IMR segment. The objective is to eliminate the need of a manned surface vessel (high cost, gas emission, …), and any solution that complies with this goal is achieving our vision for the future on subsea operations. ” 40 FE E D B A C K A N D T E S T I M O N I A L S Fortune 500 companies have validated Nauticus’ approach.
