No Offer or Solicitation: This Presentation shall not constitute a “solicitation” as defined in Section 14 of the Exchange Act. This Presentation does not constitute (i) a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination or (ii) an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase any securit y o f Archimedes, SoundHound or any of their respective affiliates nor shall there be any sale of securities, investment or other sp ecific product in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the se curities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the extent that this Presentation is used in connection with the Private Placemen t o f Archimedes’ securities (referred in this paragraph as “Securities”), any offering of such Securities in connection with the Private Place men t will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will be offered as a Privat e P lacement only to purchasers who (i) are “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) and/or (ii) Archimedes reason abl y believes are qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act).

Neither Archimedes nor SoundHound are making an offer of the Secur iti es in any state where the offer is not permitted. NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PRESE NTA TION IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. Forward Looking Statements: Certain statements included in this Presentation are not historical facts but are forward - looking statements. Forward - looking st atements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "future," "outlook," and similar expressions that predict or ind ica te future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean tha t a statement is not forward - looking. These forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whethe r o r not identified in this Presentation and on the current expectations of Archimedes’ and SoundHound’s respective management and ar e not predictions of actual performance. These forward - looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are no t intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive s tat ement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from ass ump tions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Archimedes and SoundHound. Some important factors that could cause act ual results to differ materially from those in any forward - looking statements could include changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions.

 

 

Disclaimer and Other Important Information These forward - looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Transaction, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained , a re delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the Company or the expected benefits of the Transaction, if not obtained; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction; matters discovered by the parties as they c omp lete their respective due diligence investigation of the other parties; the ability of Archimedes prior to the Business Combination, and th e Company following the Business Combination, to maintain the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq; costs related to the Tr ansaction; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Transaction, including the approval of the definitive merger ag reement by the shareholders of Archimedes, the satisfaction of the minimum cash requirements of the definitive merger agreeme nt, which is an amount equal to the PIPE commitments as of the date of the Merger Agreement, following any redemptions by Archimedes’ p ubl ic shareholders; the risk that the Transaction may not be completed by the stated deadline and the potential failure to obtai n a n extension of the stated deadline; the inability to complete a PIPE transaction; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Archimedes or SoundHound related to the Transaction; the attraction and retention of qualified directors, of ficers, employees and key personnel of Archimedes and SoundHound prior to the Business Combination, and the Company following the Bus ine ss Combination; the ability of the Company to compete effectively in a highly competitive market; the ability to protect and enhance SoundHound’s corporate reputation and brand; the impact from future regulatory, judicial, and legislative changes in Sou ndHound’s or the Company’s industry; and, the uncertain effects of the COVID - 19 pandemic; competition from larger technology companies that have greater resources, technology, relationships and/or expertise; future financial performance of the Compan y f ollowing the Business Combination including the ability of future revenues to meet projected annual bookings; the ability of the Company to forecast and maintain an adequate rate of revenue growth and appropriately plan its expenses; the ability of the C omp any to generate sufficient revenue from each of our revenue streams; the ability of the Company’s patents and patent applicat ion s to protect the Company’s core technologies from competitors; the Company’s ability to manage a complex set of marketing relation shi ps and realize projected revenues from subscriptions, advertisements; product sales and/or services; the Company’s ability to ex ecute its business plans and strategy; and those factors set forth in documents of Archimedes filed, or to be filed, with SEC. The fo regoing list of risks is not exhaustive. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results im plied by these forward - looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Archimedes nor SoundHound presently know o r that Archimedes and SoundHound currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those containe d i n the forward - looking statements. In addition, forward - looking statements reflect Archimedes, and SoundHound’s current expectati ons, plans and forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. Nothing in this Presentation should be r ega rded as a representation by any person that the forward - looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward - looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward - looking statements i n this Presentation, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the ca uti onary statements herein and the risk factors of Archimedes and SoundHound described above. Archimedes and SoundHound anticipate tha t s ubsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while Archimedes and SoundHound may elect to update these forward - looking statements at some point in the future, they each specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward - looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Archimedes’ or SoundHound’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward - looking stat ements. Use of Projections The financial projections presented in this Presentation, with respect to SoundHound represent SoundHound management's curren t e stimates of future performance based on various assumptions, which may or may not prove to be correct. SoundHound’s independent registered public accounting firms have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections and, accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto . T hese projections constitute forward - looking information, are presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon a s being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying these projections are inherently u nce rtain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risk that could cause actual results to diffe r m aterially from those contained in these projections. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that these projections will be re ali zed. Further, industry experts and others may disagree with these assumptions and with SoundHound management’s view of the market and the p ros pects for SoundHound. Use of Non - GAAP Financial Measures This Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principl es (“GAAP”). Therefore, these non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income , cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. SoundHound believes that thes e n on - GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward - looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investor s about SoundHound. SoundHound’s management uses forward - looking non - GAAP measures to evaluate SoundHound’s financial and operating perf ormance. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non - GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents, including that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in SoundHound’s financ ial statements. In addition, other companies may calculate non - GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate th eir financial performance, and therefore, SoundHound’s non - GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of the non - GAAP financial measures used in this Presentation to their nearest GAAP equival ent is included in the appendix to this Presentation. However, to the extent that forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures are p rovided, they are presented without a reconciliation of such information to the most comparable GAAP measure. Use of Data: The data contained herein are derived from various internal and external sources. No representation is made as to the reasona ble ness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any projections or modeling or any other information contained herein. Any data on past performance or modeling contained herein are not an indication as to future pe rfo rmance. Important Information for Investors: This Presentation does not purport to contain all information which may be material to an investor and recipients of this Pre se ntation should conduct their own independent evaluation and due diligence of Archimedes and SoundHound. Each recipient agrees, and the receipt of this Presentation serves as an acknowledgment thereof, that if such re cip ient determines to engage in a transaction with Archimedes, its determination will be based solely on (i) the terms of the de fin itive merger agreement relating to such transaction, (ii) the terms of the definitive subscription agreement, and, (iii) the recipi ent 's own investigation, analysis and assessment of SoundHound and the Business Combination. Neither Archimedes nor SoundHound int end to update or otherwise revise this Presentation following its distribution and neither Archimedes nor SoundHound makes any repre sen tation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained in this Presen tat ion after the date of the Presentation. Participants in Solicitation: Archimedes and SoundHound and their respective directors and executive officers, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be partici pa nts in the solicitation of proxies of Archimedes’ shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the Bus ine ss Combination of Archimedes’ directors and officers in Archimedes’ filings with the SEC. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to Archimedes’ shareholders in connection with the Bus ine ss Combination is set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus on Form S - 4 for the Business Combination, which is expected to be filed by Archimedes with the SEC. This Presentation is not a substitute for the proxy statement/prospectus or for any other document th at Archimedes may file with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination. INVESTORS AND SECURITYHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION . I nvestors and shareholders may obtain free copies of other documents filed with the SEC by Archimedes through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.
