Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the
Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial
condition, and often contain words such as expect, anticipate, intend, plan, believe, seek, see, will, would, target, similar
expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about the proposed transaction, the expected timetable for completing
the proposed transaction, the benefits and synergies of the proposed transaction, future opportunities for the combined company and products and any other statements regarding Artiuss and Origins future operations, anticipated growth,
financial or operating results, capital allocation, market opportunities, strategies, anticipated business levels, future earnings, planned activities, dividend policy, debt ratio, competitions, and other expectations and targets for future periods.
There are several factors which could cause actual plans and results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the risk that the transaction may not be
completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Artiuss securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by Artiuss business combination deadline, (iii) the failure to satisfy
the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, by and between Artius Acquisition Inc., Zero Carbon Merger Sub Inc. and Micromidas, Inc., dated as of
February 16, 2021 (the Merger Agreement) by the shareholders of Artius, and the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following redemptions by Artiuss public shareholders, (iv) the lack of a third party
valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction, (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (vi) the effect of the announcement
or pendency of the transaction on Origins business relationships, operating results, and business generally, (vii) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Origin and potential difficulties in Origin
employee retention as a result of the transaction, (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Origin or against Artius related to the Merger Agreement or the proposed transaction, (ix) the ability to
maintain the listing of Artiuss securities on a national securities exchange, (x) the price of Artiuss securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including the uncertainty of demand in the market that Artius plans to
operate or Origin operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting the business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xi) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts,
and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities, (xii) the ability to manage rapid growth effectively, including completion of construction of facilities and beginning
production in commercial quantities, (xiii) the maintenance, expansion and refurbishment of Origins facilities, the construction of new facilities and the development and implementation of new manufacturing processes, which may have an
adverse effect on the combined companys results of operations and financial condition, (xiv) the ability to discover, develop and protect new technologies and to protect and enforce Origins or Artiuss intellectual
