All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Presentation, including statements regarding Blue Ocean’s, TNL Mediagene’s or the combined company’s future financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward - looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the forward - looking statements in this Presentation include models of illustrative ownership of the combined company and adjusted EBITDA for TNL Mediagene under various financial and operational assumptions (the “Illustrative Models”). Forward - looking statements include Blue Ocean’s or TNL Mediagene’s opinions, estimates and expectations concerning the outlook for their or the combined company’s business, productivity, plans and goals for operational improvements, capital investments, operational performance, market conditions or economic performance and developments in the capital and credit markets and expected financial performance, as well as any information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the combined company and the expected benefits of the Proposed Business Combination . Although we believe the opinions, estimates and expectations reflected in the forward - looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectation will prove to be correct . We cannot guarantee future results and there is no representation that the actual results achieved will be the same, in whole or in part, as those set out in the forward - looking statements . Forward - looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results or events may differ materially from those projected or implied in those statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any definitive agreements with respect to the Proposed Business Combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Blue Ocean, TNL Mediagene or others following the announcement of the Proposed Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; the inability to complete the Proposed Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of Blue Ocean’s shareholders, have sufficient cash available to complete the Proposed Business Combination or satisfy other conditions; 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; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; the risk that the Proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of TNL Mediagene as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination and the other risks and uncertainties set forth in Blue Ocean’s periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including but not limited to in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward - Looking Statements” in Blue Ocean’s annual report on Form 10 - K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and in its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10 - Q and other filings with the SEC. In addition, there are risks and uncertainties described in the proxy statement/prospectus on Form F - 4 relating to the proposed transaction, initially filed by TNL Mediagene with the SEC on June 13, 2024, as amended, and other documents filed, or to be filed, by TNL Mediagene from time to time with the SEC.

Non - GAAP Financial Measures This Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”), such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA Margin and other metrics. 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 TNL Mediagenes’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cashflows 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. Blue Ocean and TNL Mediagene believe these non - GAAP financial measures, including on a forward - looking basis, provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to TNL Mediagene’s financial condition and results of operations. Blue Ocean and TNL Mediagene believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing TNL Mediagene’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non - GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non - GAAP financial measures and reconciliations is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in TNL Mediagene’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non - GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. Industry and Market Data This Presentation contains industry and market data obtained from third - party industry publications and sources, from research reports prepared for other purposes and from TNL Mediagene’s management’s good faith estimates and internal sources. Such information was obtained or prepared from sources believed to be reliable, but neither Blue Ocean nor TNL Mediagene has independently verified the underlying information obtained from these sources and cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of such information or the reasonableness of any underlying assumption used by third - parties to prepare such information. Any data on past performance or modeling contained in this Presentation is not an indication as to future performance. The nature of this information is inherently subjective, based on estimates and is subject to change.
