Stockholder Communication

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein is a letter dated February 24, 2021 that is being sent by GigCapital2, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GigCapital2”) relating to the special meeting of the stockholders of GigCapital2 to be held at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on Monday, March 8, 2021 (the “Stockholders Meeting”). The letter encourages the stockholders of GigCapital2 to vote in favor of the proposal to extend the date by which GigCapital2 has to consummate a business combination from March 10, 2021 to June 10, 2021 in order to allow GigCapital2 more time to complete its previously announced business combinations with UpHealth Holdings, Inc. (“UpHealth”) and Cloudbreak Health, LLC (“Cloudbreak”).

On February 24, 2021, GigCapital2 issued a press release relating to the Stockholders Meeting . The press release encourages the stockholders of GigCapital2 to vote in favor of the proposal to extend the date by which GigCapital2 has to consummate a business combination from March 10, 2021 to June 10, 2021 in order to allow GigCapital2 more time to complete its previously announced business combinations with UpHealth and Cloudbreak. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Additional Information about the Stockholders Meeting and the Business Combinations

In connection with the Stockholders Meeting, on February 12, 2021 GigCapital2 filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Extension Proxy Statement”) with the United Stated Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which was mailed to its stockholders of record as of February 3, 2021. This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the attached exhibits, does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposal to extend the date by which GigCapital2 has to consummate a business combination from March 10, 2021 to June 10, 2021 (the “Proposal”). Additional information about the Proposal is contained in the Extension Proxy Statement for the Stockholders Meeting. GigCapital2’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the Extension Proxy Statement and other documents filed in connection with GigCapital2’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of stockholders to be held to approve the Proposal because these materials contain important information about the Stockholders Meeting and the Proposal.

In connection with the proposed business combinations with UpHealth and Cloudbreak, GigCapital2 has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC containing a preliminary proxy statement and a preliminary prospectus of GigCapital2, and after the registration statement is declared effective, GigCapital2 will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combinations to its stockholders. This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the attached exhibits, does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed business combinations and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the business combinations. Additional information about the proposed business combinations and related transactions is contained in GigCapital2’s Current Report on Form 8-K and the combined proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combinations and the respective businesses of GigCapital2 and UpHealth and Cloudbreak that GigCapital2 has filed with the SEC.


The proposed business combinations and related transactions will be submitted to stockholders of GigCapital2 for their consideration. GigCapital2’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, when available, and other documents filed in connection with GigCapital2’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of stockholders to be held to approve, among other things, the proposed business combinations and related transactions, because these materials will contain important information about UpHealth, Cloudbreak, GigCapital2 and the proposed business combinations and related transactions. When available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials for the proposed business combinations will be mailed to stockholders of GigCapital2 as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed business combinations and related transactions.

Stockholders may also obtain a copy of the Extension Proxy Statement and the preliminary or definitive proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other documents filed with the SEC by GigCapital2, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to Brad Weightman, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, GigCapital2, Inc., 1731 Embarcadero Rd., Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94303, or by telephone at (650) 276-7040.

Information regarding GigCapital2’s directors and executive officers is available in its Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests is contained in the Extension Proxy Statement and will also be contained in the preliminary and definitive proxy statements/prospectus related to the proposed business combinations and related transactions when it becomes available, and which can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the attached exhibits, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects or strategies regarding the future, including possible business combinations, revenue growth and financial performance, product expansion and services. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the attached exhibits, are based on our current expectations and beliefs made by the management of GigCapital2, UpHealth and/or Cloudbreak in light of their respective experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effects on UpHealth, Cloudbreak and GigCapital2 as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting UpHealth, Cloudbreak or GigCapital2 will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including that the GigCapital2 stockholders will approve the Proposal or the business combinations, regulatory approvals, the ability of the post-combination company to meet the NYSE listing standards, product and service acceptance, and that UpHealth will have sufficient capital upon the approval of the transaction to operate as anticipated. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other sections of GigCapital2’s filings with the SEC, and


in GigCapital2’s current and periodic reports filed or furnished from time to time with the SEC. All forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the attached exhibits, are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to GigCapital2, UpHealth and/or Cloudbreak as of the date hereof, and GigCapital2, UpHealth and/or Cloudbreak assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

No Offer or Solicitation

This communication shall neither constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
