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 Filament, TopCo and Jupiter. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (i) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Proposed Business Combination; (ii) the failure of either Jupiter or Filament prior to the Proposed Business Combination, or TopCo after the Proposed Business Combination, to execute their business strategy; (iii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Filament, TopCo or Jupiter or others following the announcement of the Proposed Business Combination; (iv) the inability to complete the Proposed Business Combination due to the failure to obtain any necessary interim order or other required court orders in respect of Filament's statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) with respect to the Proposed Business Combination or the failure to obtain the approval of Filament's shareholders or Jupiter's stockholders or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (v) changes to the proposed structure of the Proposed Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Proposed Business Combination; (vi) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards prior to and following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; (vii) the risk that the Proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Filament as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; (viii) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of TopCo to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and retain its management and key employees; (ix) costs related to the Proposed Business Combination; * failure to comply with and stay abreast of changes in laws or regulations applicable to Filament's business, including health and safety regulations and policies; (xi) Filament's estimates of expenses and profitability and underlying assumptions with respect to redemptions by Jupiter's stockholders and purchase price and other adjustments; (xii) any downturn or volatility in economic or business conditions; (xiii) the effects of COVID-19 or other epidemics or pandemics; (xiv) changes in the competitive environment affecting Filament or its customers, including Filament's inability to introduce, or obtain regulatory approval for, new products; (xv) the failure to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms; (xvi) the impact of pricing pressure and erosion; (xvii) failures or delays in Filament's supply chain; (xviii) Filament's ability to protect its intellectual property and avoid infringement by others, or claims of infringement against Filament; (xix) the possibility that Filament, TopCo or Jupiter may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; (xx) the failure of Filament or TopCo to respond to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and (xxi) Filament's estimates of its financial performance; and those factors discussed in documents of Jupiter or TopCo filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or any assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Filament's, TopCo's or Jupiter's assessments as of any date after the date of this communication. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
