CONFIDENTIAL 2 Disclaimer About this Presentation This investor presentation (this “Presentation”) does not constitute ( i ) a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed Business Combination or (ii) an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase any security of SVOK, the Company, or any of their respective affiliates .

Forward Looking Statements Certain statements, estimates, targets and projections in this Presentation may be considered forward - looking statements . Forward - looking statements generally relate to future events or SVOK’s or the Company’s future financial or operating performance . For example, statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which the Company operates and anticipated growth in demand for the Company’s services, projections of the Company’s future financial results and other metrics, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Business Combination and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination are forward - looking statements . In some cases, you can identify forward - looking statements by terminology such as “pro forma”, “may”, “should”, “could”, “might”, “plan”, “possible”, “project”, “strive”, “budget”, “forecast”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology . Such forward - looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward - looking statements . These forward - looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by SVOK and its management, and the Company and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain . Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to : ( i ) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination ; (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against SVOK, the Company, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto ; (iii) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of SVOK or the Company ; (iv) the inability of the Company to satisfy other conditions to closing ; (v) changes to the proposed structure of the 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 Business Combination ; (vi) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination ; (vii) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination ; (viii) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination or the Company’s pending acquisition of MaxDelivery , which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees ; costs related to the Business Combination ; (ix) changes in applicable laws or regulations ; (x) the possibility that the Company or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors ; (xi) the Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability, which may be affected by, among other things, the Company's proposed strategic commercial agreement with Palantir ; (xii) the evolution of the markets in which the Company competes ; (xiii) the ability of the Company to implement its strategic initiatives and continue to innovate its existing products ; (xiv) the ability of the Company to defend its intellectual property ; (xv) the ability of the Company to satisfy regulatory requirements ; (xvi) the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic on the Company’s and the combined company’s business ; and (xvii) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward - Looking Statements” in SVOK’s annual report on Form 10 - K for the fiscal year ended December 31 , 2020 , which was filed with the SEC on March 31 , 2021 and amended on June 3 , 2021 , and other risks and uncertainties indicated in the definitive proxy statement delivered to SVOK’s stockholders and related registration statement on Form S - 4 , including those set forth under “Risk Factors” therein, and other document to be filed with the SEC by SVOK . Nothing in this Presentation should be regarded 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, which speak only as of the date they are made . Neither SVOK nor the Company undertakes any duty to update these forward - looking statements . Use of Projections This Presentation contains financial forecasts for the Company with respect to certain financial results for the Company’s fiscal years 2021 through 2026 . Neither SVOK’s nor the Company’s independent auditors have audited, studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation . These projections are forward - looking statements and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results . In this Presentation, certain of the above - mentioned projected information has been provided for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data . The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information . Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of the Company or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information . Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved . Financial Information ; Non - GAAP Financial Measures The historical financial information and data contained in this Presentation has not been audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and does not conform to Regulation S - X . Such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in the registration statement to be filed by SVOK relating to the Business Combination and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein . This Presentation also includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) including Adjusted EBITDA and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom as well as Adjusted Cash Operating Costs . The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock - based compensation expense and other one - time or non - recurring expenses, such as executive recruiting fees, severance, 3 rd party consulting fees, and transaction - related fees, among others, that the Company does not believe are recurring in nature or necessary for the ongoing operations of the business . The Company defines Adjusted Cash Operating Costs as Operating Expenses less depreciation and amortization, stock - based compensation expense and other one - time or non - recurring expenses, such as executive recruiting fees, severance, 3 rd party consulting fees, and transaction - related fees, among others, that the Company does not believe are recurring in nature or necessary for the ongoing operations of the business . These non - GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results . Therefore, these 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 . You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly - titled measures used by other companies . SVOK and the Company believe these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations . SVOK and the Company believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors . These non - GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures . This Presentation also includes certain projections of non - GAAP financial measures . Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, SVOK and the Company are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort . Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures is included . Industry and Market Data In this Presentation, the Company relies on and refers to certain information and statistics obtained from third - party sources which it believes to be reliable . Neither SVOK nor the Company has independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such third - party information . Trademarks and Copyright This Presentation may contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners . Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this Presentation may be listed without the TM, SM, © or ® symbols, but SVOK and the Company will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, the rights of the applicable owners, if any, to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights . Additional Information SVOK has filed a registration statement on Form S - 4 with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which includes a proxy statement/prospectus . The registration statement has been declared effective and the proxy statement/prospectus has been distributed to Seven Oaks stockholders that is both the proxy statement in connection with its solicitation of proxies for the vote by SVOK’s stockholders with respect to the Business Combination and other matters as may be described in the registration statement, as well as the prospectus, relating to the offer and sale of the securities to be issued in the Business Combination . This Presentation does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed Business Combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Business Combination .
