Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, including statements regarding the impact of the proposed merger on, and anticipated future growth (including through the completion of pending acquisitions) and other goals of, Edify or Unique Logistics; in some cases you can also identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements are based on Edify’s or Unique Logistics’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on Edify, Unique Logistics, or any successor entity thereof. Any such forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, are not guarantees of future performance, and involve a number of risks, uncertainties, or other factors that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements included in this communication. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed and identified in public filings made by Edify and Unique Logistics with the SEC; the amount of any redemptions by existing holders of shares of Edify’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, being greater than expected, which may reduce the cash in trust available to Unique Logistics upon the consummation of the Merger; the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Edify or Unique Logistics following announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; the inability to complete the proposed Merger due to, among other things, the failure to obtain Unique Logistics stockholder approval or Edify shareholder approval or satisfy the minimum trust account amount following any redemptions by Edify’s public shareholders; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the merger on Unique Logistics’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally; the risk that the announcement and consummation of the proposed Merger disrupts Unique Logistics’s current plans or operations; unexpected costs related to the proposed Merger; the risks that the consummation of the proposed Merger is substantially delayed or does not occur, including prior to the date on which Edify is required to liquidate under the terms of its charter documents; the risk that Unique Logistics may need to raise additional capital to execute its growth plans, which many not be available on acceptable terms or at all; and the risk that the post-Merger company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the registration statement on Form S-4 and proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus discussed above and other documents filed or to be filed by Edify, Unique Logistics, and/or or any successor entity thereof from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions made by the management of Unique Logistics prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the proposed Merger or other matters addressed in this communication and attributable to Unique Logistics or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this communication.
