Forward - looking statements involve predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties . F or example, PAD is using forward - looking statements in this presentation when it discusses its expectations regarding the timing of acquisitions and the performance of PAD’s curren t o perating entities and acquisition targets, if such acquisitions are successfully completed. Many factors could cause actual f utu re events to differ materially from the forward - looking statements in this presentation, including but not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances th at could give rise to the termination of the Proposed Business Combination or any of PAD’s ongoing acquisitions and potential ac quisition targets; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against FACT, the Company, the combined company or others following the announcement of th e P roposed Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Proposed B usi ness Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of FACT, to obtain financing to complete the Proposed Business Combination or to satisfy other c ond itions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Proposed Business Combination that may be required or appropr iat e as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Proposed Business Combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange lis ting standards following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Proposed Business Combi nat ion disrupts current plans and operations of FACT or the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; (7) the ability to re cognize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competit ion , the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key empl oye es; (8) costs related to the Proposed Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations and delays in obtai nin g, adverse conditions contained in, or the inability to obtain regulatory approvals required to complete the Proposed Business Combination; (10) the possibility that FA CT, the Company or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) t he impact of any health epidemics, pandemics or other contagious outbreaks or geopolitical events, such as war, on the Company’s business and/or the ability of the parties t o c omplete the Proposed Business Combination; (12) the Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability and underlying assumpti ons with respect to stockholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; (13) timing of acquisitions, if any, and the performance of the Company’s current opera tin g entities and acquisition targets, if such acquisitions are successfully completed; and (14) other risks and uncertainties s et forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward - Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary” in FACT’s final prospectus relating to its initial public off ering dated November 26, 2024.

These filings identify and address other import ant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward - loo king statements.

CONFIDENTIAL 3 Disclaimer (cont.) Additional Information and Where to Find It To the extent the Proposed Business Combination progresses, the Company and FACT intend to file relevant materials with the S EC, including a registration statement on Form S - 4, which will include a document that serves as a joint prospectus and proxy state ment, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus. A proxy statement/prospectus would be sent to all FACT shareholders. FACT would also file other documents regarding the Propose d B usiness Combination with the SEC. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors, shareholders and other interest ed persons of FACT are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with Proposed Business Combination carefully and in their entirety as they become available because they will c on tain important information about the Proposed Business Combination. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy state men t/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by FACT through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. The documents filed by FACT and the Company with the SEC also may be obtained free of charge, once available, on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Participants in Solicitation FACT, the Company and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed under SEC rules to be participants in t he solicitation of proxies from FACT’s stockholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. A list of the names of su ch directors and executive officers, and information regarding their interests in the Proposed Business Combination and their ownership of FACT’s securities are, or will be, cont ain ed in FACT’s filings with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of the persons who may, under SEC rules, be de emed participants in the solicitation of proxies of FACT’s shareholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, including the names and interests of the Company’s directo rs and executive officers, will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus on Form S - 4 for the Proposed Business Combination, w hich is expected to be filed by FACT and the Company with the SEC. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph. Industry and Market Data This presentation has been prepared by the Company and FACT and includes market data and other statistical information from s our ces believed by the Company and FACT to be reliable, including independent industry publications, governmental publications o r o ther published independent sources. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of the Company or FACT, which in each case are derived from its review of internal sou rces as well as the independent sources described above. Although the Company and FACT believe these sources are reliable, th e C ompany and FACT have not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness. Financial Information; Non - GAAP Financial Measures The historical and pro forma historical financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited, based on dra ft statutory accounts, does not conform to Regulation S - X, and is subject to PCAOB audit. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in the final registration statement to be filed with the SEC and the definitive proxy statement/prospec tus contained therein. Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA , EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, has not been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). EBITDA is defined as net income befo re interest expense, depreciation, amortization, and corporate taxes. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA (as defined above) divi ded by revenue. For a detailed reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of non - GAAP financial measures in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see Slide 27 of this presentation. The Company believes these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and re sul ts of operations. The Company’s management uses these non - GAAP measures for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purpos es. The Company and FACT believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing the Company’s financial c ondition and results of operations with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to in vestors. However, other companies may calculate their non - GAAP measures differently, and therefore the non - GAAP measures in this presentation not be directly comparable to simi larly titled measures of other companies. Management 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 th at are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limit ati ons as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded and included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures. No Offer or Solicitation This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any s ecu rities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful pr ior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Use of Projections Any financial information in this presentation (including specifically the projections) that are forward - looking statements are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Co mpany’s and FACT’s control. While such information and projections are necessarily speculative, the Company and FACT believe that the preparation of prospective financial informati on involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The a ssu mptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertaint ies that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. All subsequent written and oral f orward - looking statements concerning the Company and FACT, the Proposed Business Combination, or other matters and attributable to the Company and FACT or any person acting on their be hal f are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Trademarks This presentation contains trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of the Company, FACT and other companies, wh ich are the property of their respective owners.
