Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, forward-looking statements include
statements that are not historical facts, such as statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies,
events or results of operations, including statements regarding Acamar Partners’ and CarLotz’ expectations or predictions
of future financial or business performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements may be preceded by, followed by or include
the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,”
“may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,”
“anticipates” or “intends” or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements.
Certain of these risks are identified and discussed in Acamar Partners’ Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under
“Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and in Acamar Partners’ Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31,
2020, Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 and Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020 under
“Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A. These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results
and should be reviewed in their entirety.
In addition to risks previously disclosed in
Acamar Partners’ reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors,
among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: ability
to meet the closing conditions to the merger, including approval by stockholders of Acamar Partners on the expected terms and schedule;
delay in closing the merger; failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed transaction; the effects of pending and
future legislation; risks related to management’s focus on the proposed transaction rather than on the ongoing business operations
of CarLotz; business disruption following the transaction; risks related to Acamar Partners’ or CarLotz’ indebtedness;
other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; risks of the automotive
and used vehicle industries; the potential impact of COVID-19 on the used vehicle industry and on the CarLotz business; litigation,
complaints, product liability claims or adverse publicity; the impact of changes in consumer spending patterns, consumer preferences,
local, regional and national economic conditions, crime, weather, demographic trends and employee availability; new entrants in
the consignment-to-retail used vehicle business; technological disruptions, privacy or data breaches, the loss of data or cyberattacks;
and the ability to compete successfully with new and existing market participants.
Any financial projections in this communication
are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies,
many of which are beyond Acamar Partners’ and CarLotz’ control. While all projections are necessarily speculative,
Acamar Partners and CarLotz believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels
of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the
projected results 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 projections. The inclusion
of projections in this communication should not be regarded as an indication that Acamar Partners and CarLotz, or their representatives,
considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date they are made, and Acamar Partners and CarLotz are under no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update,
alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except
as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports that Acamar Partners has filed or will
file from time to time with the SEC. Forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and Acamar Partners and CarLotz believe
there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these
forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved.
Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated
numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.
