Forward-Looking Statements Legend

All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K other than statements of historical facts, contains certain forward-looking statements that are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target,” “continue,” “may” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean a statement is not forward looking. Indications of, and guidance or outlook on, future earnings, dividends or financial position or performance are also forward looking statements.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and potentially adversely, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Most of these factors are outside Dune’s and TradeZero’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 12, 2021, by and among Dune, Dune Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Dune (“Merger Sub”), Dune Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Dune (“Merger Sub II”), and TradeZero, as amended by that certain First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 26, 2022, by and among Dune, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II and TradeZero (as so amended, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, TradeZero would become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Dune (the “Business Combination”); (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Dune and TradeZero following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (iii) the outcome of the ongoing legal proceeding between Dune and TradeZero relating to the Business Combination; (iv) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Dune, certain regulatory approvals, or the satisfaction of other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (v) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (vi) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on TradeZero’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the proposed Business Combination; (vii) the inability to maintain the listing of Dune’s shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market following the proposed Business Combination; (viii) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (ix) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of TradeZero to grow and manage growth profitably, and retain its key employees; (x) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (xi) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (xii) the possibility that TradeZero or Dune may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is contained in Dune’s most recent filings with the SEC, including the Preliminary Proxy Statement and Dune’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained herein. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Dune or TradeZero, the transactions described herein or other matters attributable to Dune, TradeZero or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
