These forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and market share. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Presentation, and on the current expectations of ChargePoint, Inc.’s (“ChargePoint”) and Switchback Energy Acquisition Corporation’s (“Switchback”) management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward - looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions, and such differences may be material. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of ChargePoint and Switchback. These forward - looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to ChargePoint; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the potential business combination between ChargePoint and Switchback and related transactions (the “Proposed Business Combination”), including the risk that any required 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 or that the approval of the stockholders of Switchback or ChargePoint is not obtained; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination; pending or potential litigation associated with the Proposed Business Combination; risks related to the rollout of ChargePoint’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; ChargePoint’s dependence on widespread acceptance and adoption of electric vehicles and increased installation of charging stations; ChargePoint’s ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, including the remediation of identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relating to segregation of duties with respect to, and access controls to, ChargePoint’s financial record keeping system, and ChargePoint’s accounting staffing levels; ChargePoint’s current dependence on sales of charging stations for most of its revenues; overall demand for electric vehicle charging and the potential for reduced demand if governmental rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives are reduced, modified or eliminated or governmental mandates to increase the use of electric vehicles or decrease the use of vehicles powered by fossil fuels, either directly or indirectly through mandated limits on carbon emissions, are reduced, modified or eliminated; potential adverse effects on ChargePoint’s revenue and gross margins if customers increasingly claim clean energy credits and, as a result, they are no longer available to be claimed by ChargePoint; the effects of competition on ChargePoint’s future business; risks related to ChargePoint’s dependence on its intellectual property and the risk that ChargePoint’s technology could have undetected defects or errors; the amount of redemption requests made by Switchback’s public stockholders; the ability of Switchback or the combined company to issue equity or equity - linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the Proposed Business Combination or in the future and those factors discussed in Switchback’s final prospectus dated July 25, 2019, Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10 - Q and the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement included in the Registration Statement on Form S - 4 dated October 19, 2020, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of Switchback filed, or to be filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). If any of these risks materialize or Switchback’s or ChargePoint’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward - looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Switchback nor ChargePoint presently know or that Switchback and ChargePoint currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward - looking statements. In addition, forward - looking statements reflect Switchback’s and ChargePoint’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. Switchback and ChargePoint anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Switchback’s and ChargePoint’s assessments to change. However, while Switchback and ChargePoint may elect to update these forward - looking statements at some point in the future, Switchback and ChargePoint specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward - looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Switchback’s and ChargePoint’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward - looking statements. Neither ChargePoint, Switchback, nor any of their respective affiliates have any obligation to update this Presentation. USE OF PROJECTIONS This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to ChargePoint. Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See “Forward - Looking Statements” paragraph above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation should not

 

 

© 2020 ChargePoint, Inc. 3 be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved. Neither Switchback’s nor ChargePoint’s independent auditors have audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS In connection with the Proposed Business Combination, Switchback has filed a registration statement (which includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus of Switchback and consent solicitation statement for ChargePoint) and other relevant documents with the SEC. Stockholders and other interested persons are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement and any other relevant documents filed and to be filed with the SEC when they become available because they will contain important information about Switchback, ChargePoint and the Proposed Business Combination. Stockholders are able to obtain a free copy of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement, as well as other filings containing information about Switchback, ChargePoint and the Proposed Business Combination, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov. PARTICIPANTS IN SOLICITATION Switchback, ChargePoint and their respective directors and executive officers and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitations of proxies from Switchback’s stockholders in respect of the Proposed Business Combination and the other matters set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement. Information regarding Switchback’s directors and executive officers is available under the heading “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” in its Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, are contained in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement relating to the Proposed Business Combination. FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NON - GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, such information and data is not included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement or in the registration statement filed by Switchback with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as EBIT, EBITDA and EBITDA Margin, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Switchback and ChargePoint believe these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to ChargePoint’s financial condition and results of operations. ChargePoint’s management uses these non - GAAP measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Switchback and ChargePoint believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing ChargePoint’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. 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 that are required by GAAP to be recorded in ChargePoint’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non - GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA Although all information and opinions expressed in this Presentation, including market data and other statistical information, were obtained from sources believed to be reliable and are included in good faith, ChargePoint and Switchback have not independently verified the information and make no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to its accuracy or completeness. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of ChargePoint and Switchback, which are derived from their respective reviews of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. This Presentation contains preliminary information only, is subject to change at any time and, is not, and should not be assumed to be, complete or to constitute all the information necessary to adequately make an informed decision regarding your engagement with ChargePoint and Switchback. Reference in this Presentation to any article, blog posting, research paper or similar document is not and should not be considered to be an endorsement of ChargePoint or its business. TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES ChargePoint and Switchback own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses. This Presentation also contains trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners.

Forward Looking Statements

 

The information included herein and in any oral statements made in connection herewith include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and market share. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of the Company and Switchback’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of, fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions, and such differences may be material. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company and Switchback. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the Company; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Transactions, including the risk that any required 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 Transactions or that the approval of the stockholders of Switchback or the Company is not obtained; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transactions; risks related to the rollout of the Company’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; the Company’s dependence on widespread acceptance and adoption of electric vehicles and increased installation of charging stations; the Company’s ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, including the remediation of identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relating to segregation of duties with respect to, and access controls to, its financial record keeping system, and the Company’s accounting staffing levels; the Company’s current dependence on sales of charging stations for most of its revenues; overall demand for electric vehicle charging and the potential for reduced demand if governmental rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives are reduced, modified or eliminated or governmental mandates to increase the use of electric vehicles or decrease the use of vehicles powered by fossil fuels, either directly or indirectly through mandated limits on carbon emissions, are reduced, modified or eliminated; potential adverse effects on the Company’s revenue and gross margins if customers increasingly claim clean energy credits and, as a result, they are no longer available to be claimed by the Company; the effects of competition on the Company’s future business; risks related to the Company’s dependence on its intellectual property and the risk that the Company’s technology could have undetected defects or errors; the amount of redemption requests made by Switchback’s public stockholders; the ability of Switchback or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the Proposed Transactions or in the future and those factors discussed in Switchback’s final prospectus dated July 25, 2019, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated October 19, 2020, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of Switchback filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or Switchback’s or the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Switchback nor the Company presently know or that Switchback and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Switchback’s and the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. Switchback and the Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Switchback’s and the Company’s assessments to change. However, while Switchback and the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Switchback and the Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Switchback’s and the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date hereof. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact Switchback’s expectations and projections can be found in Switchback’s periodic filings with the SEC, including Switchback’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated October 19, 2020.
