The below is an email and several social media communications from Rubicon Technologies, LLC and Nate Morris, Chief Executive Officer of Rubicon Technologies, LLC made in connection with the proposed business combination between Founder SPAC and Rubicon Technologies, LLC.

NATE MORRIS, Founder & CEO

Dear [name],

I am pleased to announce a deal has been reached between Rubicon and Founder SPAC, a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, that will result in Rubicon becoming a publicly listed company. Upon completion of the transaction, Rubicon will trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the newly created stock ticker symbol “RBT.”

This is historic for Rubicon, and I wanted you to hear directly from me because of our long-time relationship. The announcement was featured in The Wall Street Journal as well as the news release providing detailed information on the transaction.

We are proud to call Lexington, KY our corporate headquarters and I look forward to leading the company as a public company.

This deal has been a long time in the making and represents the next step in Rubicon’s extraordinary growth over the past 12 years. From founding the company with a $10,000 line of credit to becoming the largest digital waste and recycling marketplace in the world, our journey has been one of environmental innovation, hard work, persistence, and pursuit of a mission to end waste in all its forms.

Historically, waste has been an overlooked issue, but in Rubicon, we have built a different kind of company, one that has brought technology and environmental innovation to a waste sector largely unchanged since the time of the Romans.

As a Kentucky-founded company, our proven track record of environmental innovation shows that transformational ideas are not limited to the East or West Coasts and that the power of forward-thinking businesses can drive positive change in our world.

While the waste and recycling category is highly resilient, it is ripe for improvements in efficiency and sustainability. The successful execution of our growth strategy will help propel the industry into the current age of digitization while facilitating the broader sustainability goals of customers and communities around the world. In doing so, we are creating a new standard for the waste and recycling category.

Thank you for your support and belief in Rubicon, our entire team, and me as CEO. The last 12 years have seen amazing growth and progress. I cannot wait to see what change Rubicon will drive in the decade to come.

Sincerely,

/s/ Nate Morris
Nate Morris Chairman & CEO Rubicon
