Legal Disclaimer © Morgan Stanley and/or certain of its affiliates. All rights reserved. 3 The forward - looking statements and financial forecasts and projections contained in this Presentation are subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the Summary Risk Factors contained in this Presentation and in the “Risk Factors” section of the S PAC 's Registration Statement on Form S - 1 (File No. 333 - 248847) (the “Registration Statement”), its Annual Report on Form 10 - K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”), and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 (the “Quarterly Reports”). In addition, there will be risks and uncertainties described in the registr ati on statement on Form S - 4 relating to the Transaction, which is expected to be filed by the SPAC or the Company and its affiliates w ith the SEC and other documents filed by the SPAC or the Company or its affiliates from time to time with the SEC. These fili ngs identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially fro m expected results contained in the forward - looking statements. Most of these factors are outside the SPAC’s and the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause s uch differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the SPAC o r the Company following the announcement of the Transaction; (2) the inability to complete the Transaction, including due to the in abi lity to concurrently close the business combination and the private placement of common stock or due to failure to obtain app rov al of the stockholders of the SPAC; (3) delays in obtaining, adverse conditions contained in, or the inability to obtain necessary reg ulatory approvals or complete regulatory reviews required to complete the Transaction; (4) the risk that the Transaction disr upt s current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Transaction; (5) the inability to recognize the ant icipated benefits of the Transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain key employees; ( 6) costs related to the Transaction; (7) changes in the applicable laws or regulations; (8) the possibility that the combined co mpa ny may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (9) the impact of the global COVID - 19 pandemi c; and (10) other risks and uncertainties described in the Registration Statement, the Annual Report and the Quarterly Report s, including, in each case, those described in the “Risk Factors” section therein. The SPAC and the Company caution that the for ego ing list of factors is not exclusive and not to place undue reliance upon any forward - looking statements, including projections, which speak only as of the date made. Neither the SPAC nor the Company undertakes or accepts any obligation to release public ly any updates or revisions to any forward - looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Use of Projections This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to the Company, including, but not limited to, estima ted results for fiscal years 2021 through 2023. Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information and ar e presented as goals or an illustration of the results that could be generated given a set of hypothetical assumptions that may pr ove to be incorrect. Such projected financial information should not be viewed as guidance and is not based on the Company’s historical operating results and should not be relied upon as necessarily indicative of future results or the Company’s actua l e conomics. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wi de variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties, a number of which are beyond the co ntr ol of either the Company or the SPAC and subject to change, including the duration and ongoing impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic, that c ould cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the in clusion of such information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results re fle cted in such forecasts will be achieved. Neither the SPAC’s nor the Company’s independent auditors have audited, reviewed, compiled o r p erformed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordin gly , neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Pre sen tation. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may emerge from time to time. It is not possible to predict all risks, nor assess the impact of all factors on the Company’s business or the ext ent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or financial conditio n t o be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance of financial condition. In addition, the analyses o f t he Company and the SPAC contained herein are not, and do not purport to be, appraisals of the securities, assets or business of the Company, the SPAC or any other entity. Industry and Market Data This Presentation also contains information, estimates and other statistical data derived from third party sources, including re search, surveys or studies, some of which are preliminary drafts, conducted by third parties, information provided by custome rs and/or industry or general publications. Such information involves a number of assumptions and limitations and due to the nature of the techniques and methodologies used in market research, none of the Company, the SPAC or the third party can guarantee the accuracy of such information. You are cautioned not to give undue weight on such estimates. The Company and the SPAC have not in dependently verified any such third party information, and make no representation as to the accuracy of, such third party information. Financial Statements and Certain Financial Measures The 2015 – 2020 historical financial data included in this Presentation has been derived from the Company’s 2015 – 2020 financial st atements, which were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are subject to an update based on an ongoing audit in accordance with PCAOB standards. Certain financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X promul gated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement or registration statement to be filed by the SPAC with the SEC. Some of the fin anc ial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, have not been prepared i n accordance with GAAP. Please refer to page 48 of this Presentation for additional details. The Company and the SPAC believe t hes e 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 results of operations. The Company’s management uses th ese non - GAAP measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. The Company and the SPAC 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 the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. These non - GAAP fi nancial measures should not be considered in isolation from, 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 an d income and cash flows that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’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 and ca sh flows 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 and reconciliations to the most directly compara ble GAAP measure are provided on page 48 of this Presentation. Trademarks, Service Marks and Trade Names The Company and the SPAC own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection wit h 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. The use or display of third parties’ trademarks, service ma rks , trade names or products in this Presentation is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with the Company or the SP AC, or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of the Company or the SPAC. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks and tra de names referred to in this Presentation may appear without the ®, TM or SM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that the Company or the SPAC will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, their rights or the right of the applicable licensor to these trademarks, service marks and trade names.

Summary Risk Factors 50 This Presentation is being provided to certain sophisticated institutional investors for a potential investment in the SPAC a s p art of the proposed Transaction with GBT. Investing in the securities to be issued in a private placement in connection with the Transaction involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider these risks and un cer tainties, together with all of the other information contained in this Presentation, and should carry out your own diligence and consult with your own financial, tax and legal advisors concerning the risks and suit abi lity of an investment in this private placement transaction before making an investment decision. If the SPAC, GBT or, following the consummation of the Transaction, the public company (“ PubCo ”) cannot address any of the following risks and uncertainties effectively, or any other risks and difficulties that may arise in the future, the combined company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially an d a dversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the SPAC or GBT or that the SPAC or GBT currently deem immaterial may also impair the combined company’s business operations. Unless the con text otherwise requires, all references below to the “Company, ” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of GBT and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Transaction, and PubCo and its subsidiaries, including GBT, following the consummation of the Transaction. Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry ► The COVID - 19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant adverse impact on our business, including our financial results and prospects, and the travel suppliers on which our business relies. ► The ongoing impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic on our business and the impact on our results of operations is highly uncertain. ► Our revenue is derived from the global travel industry, and a prolonged or substantial decrease in global travel, particularl y a ir travel, could adversely affect us. ► The widespread adoption of teleconference and virtual meeting technologies could continue to reduce the number of in - person busi ness meetings and demand for travel and our services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. ► The travel industry is highly competitive. ► Consolidation in the travel industry may result in lost bookings and reduced revenue. ► Our business and results of operations may be adversely affected by macroeconomic conditions. ► Our international business exposes us to geo - political and economic risks associated with doing business in foreign countries. ► Complaints from travelers or negative publicity about our services can diminish client confidence and adversely affect our bu sin ess. ► Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our business and growth prospects. ► The terms of the senior secured credit agreement restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to resp ond to changes or to take certain actions. ► Servicing our indebtedness will require a significant amount of cash.

Risks Relating to Our Dependence on Third Parties ► If we are unable to maintain existing, and establish new, arrangements with travel suppliers, or if our travel suppliers and par tners reduce or eliminate the commission and other compensation they pay us, our business and results of operations would be negatively impacted. ► Our business and results of operations could be adversely affected if one or more of our major travel suppliers suffers a det eri oration in its financial condition or restructures its operations or, as a result of consolidation in the travel industry, loses bookings and revenue. ► Unless we maintain good relationships with our Travel Partner Network (“TPN”), through which we service clients globally, and re new existing, or enter into new, TPN agreements, we may be unable to expand our business, and our financial condition and results of operations may suffer.

 

 

Summary Risk Factors (Cont’d) 51 ► We may have disputes with our third - party travel management companies (“TMCs”) and independent advisors that are clients of GBT Partner Solutions who, through GBT Partner Solutions, can access GBT’s technology platform and content (collectively “Network Partners”), and they may refuse to implement our strategies or seek to te rminate their agreements with us if the brands’ performance is worse than they expected. ► Our Network Partners could take actions that may harm our business. ► Travel suppliers’ use of alternative distribution models, such as direct distribution models, could adversely affect our busi nes s.

Summary Risk Factors (Cont’d) 52 ► Cybersecurity attacks or security breaches could adversely affect our ability to operate, could result in personal informatio n a nd our proprietary information being lost, stolen, made inaccessible, improperly disclosed or misappropriated and may cause us to be held liable or subject to regulatory penalties and sanctions and to litigation (inc lud ing class action litigation), which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business. ► Third parties may claim that the operation of our business infringes on their intellectual proprietary rights. These claims c oul d be costly to defend, result in injunctions and significant damage awards and limit our ability to use key technologies in the future (or require us to implement workarounds), which may cause us to incur significa nt costs, prevent us from commercializing our products and services or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business. ► Our failure to adequately protect our intellectual property may negatively impact our ability to compete effectively against com petitors in our industry. Risks Relating to Regulatory, Tax and Litigation Matters ► We are subject to taxes in many jurisdictions globally. ► We may be subject to foreign investment and exchange risks. ► Increases in interest rates would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could reduce our profitability and limit our ca sh available to fund our growth strategy. ► Our business is subject to regulation in the U.S. and the other jurisdictions in which we operate, and any failure to comply wit h such regulations or any changes in such regulations could adversely affect us. ► We are subject to anti - corruption, anti - money laundering, and economic sanctions laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in wh ich we operate, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and regulations administered and enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Failure to comply with these la ws and regulations could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. ► Our reported results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the U. S. ► We are, and from time to time we may be, involved in legal proceedings and may experience unfavorable outcomes, which could a ffe ct our business and results of operations. Risk Related to our Organization and Structure ► We conduct certain of our operations through joint ventures where we are generally the majority owner, but in some cases, we hav e only a minority interest. Disagreements with our partners could adversely affect our interest in the joint ventures. ► The interests of the existing shareholders of GBT who will continue to hold equity in PubCo may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of our other stockholders, and may result in conflicts of interes t. ► Following the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo will become a holding company, our principal asset will be an equity interest in GBT, and PubCo’s ability to pay taxes and expenses will depend on distributions made by its subsidiaries and may be otherwise limited by our structure and the terms of our existing and future in debtedness. ► In certain circumstances, GBT will be required to make distributions to PubCo and the existing shareholders of GBT and the distributions that GBT will be required to make may be substantial. Risks Related to the Business Combination and Ownership of PubCo Stock ► A market for PubCo’s securities may not be available on a consistent basis, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of PubCo’s securities. ► The market price of the PubCo's common stock may be volatile and fluctuate substantially, which could cause the value of your investment to decline. ► The PubCo will incur significant increased costs as a result of being a public company, and our management will be required to devote s ub stantial time to new compliance initiatives. ► There can be no assurance that the common stock issued in connection with the Transaction will be approved for listing on the NY SE or that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards for NYSE, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in PubCo’s securities and subject PubCo to additional trading restrictions.

 

 

Summary Risk Factors (Cont’d) 53 ► Our stockholders may be diluted by the future issuance of common stock, preferred stock or securities convertible or exchange abl e into common or preferred stock, in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions, capital raises or otherwise. ► Substantial future sales and future resales of PubCo’s outstanding shares may cause the market price of its securities to drop significantly, even if its business is doing well. ► PubCo’s ability to successfully operate the business after the Transaction will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key pe rsonnel, including the key personnel of GBT whom the SPAC expects to stay with PubCo following the Transaction. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the pos t - combination business. ► Activities taken by existing SPAC stockholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the Transaction could influence the vot e on the Transaction, reduce the "public float" of the SPAC’s common stock and ultimately impact the market price of PubCo’s securities. ► GBT will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Transaction is pending. ► Subsequent to the completion of the Transaction, PubCo may be required to take write - downs or write - offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on PubCo’s financial condition, results of operations and PubCo’s stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment. ► If the Transaction’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of PubCo’s securities may decline. ► The Company’s quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly following the Transaction. ► If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they publish negative evaluations of PubCo's business, its stock price and trading volume could decline. ► The Company may be unable to obtain additional financing to fund its operations or growth. ► Recently, there have been changes to the accepted accounting for SPACs. For example, on April 12, 2021, the Staff of the SEC iss ued a statement related to warrants issued by SPACs, which resulted in the warrants issued by many SPACs being required to be classified as liabilities rather equity. The SPAC has accounted for its ou tst anding warrants as a warrant liability and the Company will be required to determine the value warrant liability quarterly, which could have a material impact on its financial position and operating results. Ch ang es in the accepted accounting related to SPACs may also result in the recognition of accounting errors in previously issued financial statements, restatements of previously issued audited financial statements, the filing of notices that previously issued financial statements may not be relied upon, and findings of material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, such ch anges could delay or have a material adverse effect on the SPAC’s and GBT’s ability to consummate the Transaction.
