"anticipate," "believe," "seek," "target," "continue," "could," "may,"
"might," "possible," "potential," "predict" or other similar expressions that predict or indicate

other features of the Lucid Air, future market opportunities, including with respect to energy storage systems and automotive partnerships,
future manufacturing capabilities and facilities, future sales channels and strategies, future market launches and expansion, potential
benefits of the proposed business combination and PIPE investment (collectively, the "proposed transactions") and the potential
success of Lucid's go-to-market strategy, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed transactions. These statements
are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, and on the current expectations of Lucid's and CCIV'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 will differ from assumptions.
Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Lucid and CCIV. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number
of risks and uncertainties, including factors discussed in CCIV's definitive proxy statement/prospectus, CCIV's Annual Report on Form
10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 and CCIV's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021,
in each case, under the heading "Risk Factors," as well as other documents of CCIV filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any
of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these
forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Lucid nor CCIV currently know or that Lucid and CCIV 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 Lucid's and CCIV's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this
communication. Lucid and CCIV anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Lucid's and CCIV's assessments to change.
However, while Lucid and CCIV may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Lucid and CCIV specifically
disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Lucid's and CCIV's assessments
as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking
statements.
