The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (1) the future financial and operational performance of, and anticipated financial impact on, Near following the Business Combination; (2) Near’s expansion plans and opportunities; (3) Near’s limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects; (4) the impact of health epidemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business, financial condition, growth and the actions we may take in response thereto; (5) the high degree of uncertainty of the level of demand for and market utilization of our solutions and products; (6) substantial regulation and the potential for unfavorable changes to, or failure by us to comply with, these regulations, which could substantially harm our business and operating results; (7) our dependency upon third-party service providers for certain technologies; (8) increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of materials, which could harm our business; (9) developments and projections relating to our competitors and industry; (10) our management team’s limited experience managing a public company; (11) the possibility of our need to defend ourselves against fines, penalties and injunctions if we are determined to be promoting products for unapproved uses; (12) concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and their respective affiliates, which may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions; (13) the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of Near common stock or Near warrants on Nasdaq following the Business Combination; (14) costs related to the Business Combination; (15) if the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the potential for the market price of our securities to decline; (16) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of our business as a result of consummation of the transactions described herein; (17) the risk that our significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and (18) other risks and uncertainties identified in the Registration Statement (No. 333-265952), as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), relating to the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings with the SEC made by Near.
