Forward-Looking Statements This Presentation may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the estimated future financial performance and financial position of the Company. Future results are not possible to predict. Opinions and estimates offered in this Presentation constitute the Company’s judgment and are subject to change without notice, as are statements about market trends, which are based on current market conditions. This Presentation contains forward-looking statements, including without limitation, forward-looking statements that represent opinions, expectations, beliefs, intentions, estimates or strategies regarding the future of the Company and its affiliates, which may not be realized. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the words, including, without limitation, “believe,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “may,” “project,” “expect,” “plan,” “potential,” “target,” “intend,” “seek,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “forecast,” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events, trends or prospects but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Any statements that refer to expectations, projections, indications of, and guidance or outlook on, future earnings, dividends or financial position or performance or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are also forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of any definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Mudrick, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Mudrick, or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the 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 Business Combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that the Company or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) the Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (12) the risks and uncertainties set forth on the slides titled “Summary of Risk Factors” located in the appendix to this Presentation; and (13) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in Mudrick’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2022. There may be additional risks that neither Mudrick nor the Company presently know or that Mudrick and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it was made, based on information available as of the date of this Presentation, and such information may be inaccurate or incomplete. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Information regarding performance by, or businesses associated with, our management team or businesses associated with them is presented for informational purposes only. Past performance by the Company’s management team and its affiliates is not a guarantee of future performance. Therefore, you should not rely on the historical record of the performance of the Company’s management team or businesses associated with them as indicative of the Company’s future performance of an investment or the returns the Company will, or is likely to, generate going forward. 1

Disclaimer (Cont.) Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. 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 the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows 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. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to footnotes where presented on each page of this Presentation or to the appendix found at the end of this Presentation for a reconciliation of these measures to what the Company believes are the most directly comparable measure evaluated in accordance with GAAP. This Presentation also includes certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. Financial Information The historical financial statements provided for fiscal year 2019 have only been reviewed under private company standards and have not undergone a public company audit. Updating for public company disclosure requirements will likely include changes to the classification and disclosure of preferred stock, derivative instruments and foreign currency, as well as other adjustments resulting from the public company audit. An audit of the Company’s historical financial statements for fiscal year 2019 in accordance with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) is in process and such financial statements will be included in the definitive proxy statement related to the Business Combination. Accordingly, the historical financial information for fiscal year 2019 included herein should be considered preliminary and subject to adjustment in connection with the completion of the PCAOB audit. The Company’s results and financial condition as reflected in the financial statements included in the definitive proxy statement may be adjusted or presented differently from the historical financial information for fiscal year 2019 included herein and the differences could be material. Use of Projections This Presentation contains financial forecasts with respect to the Company’s projected financial results, including Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, for the Company’s fiscal years 2022 through 2025. The Company's independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information 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 prospective financial information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of the Company or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Industry and Market Data In this Presentation, the Company may rely on and refer to certain information and statistics obtained from third-party sources which they believe to be reliable. The Company has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such third-party information. No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any such third-party information.

Summary of Risk Factors Risks Related to the Business Combination ⚫ The Sponsor, certain members of the MUDS Board and certain MUDS officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to other stockholders in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination proposal and approval of the other proposals described in the proxy statement that will be filed in connection with the Business Combination. Such conflicts of interests include that the Sponsor and MUDS' directors and officers may lose their entire investment in MUDS if the Business Combination is not completed. ⚫ The NASDAQ may not continue to list our securities, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions. ⚫ The MUDS Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination. ⚫ Because the post-combination company will become a publicly-traded company by virtue of a merger as opposed to an underwritten initial public offering, the process does not use the services of one or more underwriters, which could result in less diligence being conducted. ⚫ Past performance by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the directors and officers of Mudrick, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in Mudrick or the post-combination company. ⚫ If third parties bring claims against MUDS, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.15 per share. In such event, MUDS directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligation of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to public stockholders. ⚫ If MUDS is unable to complete an initial business combination by September 10, 2022, MUDS will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the MUDS Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against MUDS and, as a result, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $10.15 per share. ⚫ MUDS stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against MUDS to the extent of distributions received by them. ⚫ Activities taken by existing MUDS stockholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the Business Combination proposal and the other proposals described in the proxy statement that will be filed in connection with the Business Combination could have a depressive effect on our stock. ⚫ MUDS stockholders will experience dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of Class A common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that MUDS’ current stockholders have on the management of MUDS. 49

Summary of Risk Factors (Cont.) Risks Related to the Business Combination ⚫ The Company and MUDS expect to incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. Whether or not the Business Combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by MUDS if the Business Combination is not completed. ⚫ The Company's operating and financial results forecasts, which were presented to the MUDS Board, may not prove accurate. ⚫ Upon executing a definitive agreement with respect to the Business Combination between the Company and MUDS, MUDS will be prohibited from entering into certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to it or its stockholders. Risks Related to the Post-Combination Company Following the Business Combination ⚫ MUDS may redeem the public warrants prior to their exercise or expiration at a time that is disadvantageous to public warrant holders, thereby making their public warrants worthless, and exercise of a significant number of the public warrants could adversely affect the market price of Class A common stock. ⚫ Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel, including the key personnel of Blue Nile. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business and its financial condition could suffer as a result. ⚫ The post-combination company's management team will have limited experience managing a public company. ⚫ The requirements of being a public company may strain the post-combination company's resources and distract its management, which could make it difficult to manage its business, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” ⚫ Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. ⚫ Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment. 50

Summary of Risk Factors (Cont.) Risks Related to the Post-Combination Company Following the Business Combination ⚫ Following the consummation of the Business Combination, our only significant asset will be our ownership interest in the Blue Nile business and such ownership may not be sufficiently profitable or valuable to enable us to pay any dividends on Class A common stock or satisfy our other financial obligations. ⚫ If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of our securities may decline. ⚫ The post-combination company will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules and, as a result, will qualify for, and intends to rely on, exemptions and relief from certain corporate governance requirements. You will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. ⚫ We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our securities less attractive to investors. ⚫ Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and SEC rules, the post-combination company will be required to file public disclosures regarding the country of origin of certain supplies, which could damage our reputation or impact our ability to obtain merchandise if customers or other stakeholders react negatively to our disclosures. ⚫ As a private company, we have not been required to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting nor has management been required to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls and our auditors have not been required to opine on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As such, we may identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that could lead to errors in the post-combination company's financial reporting, which could adversely affect the post-combination company's business and the market price of our securities. ⚫ The post-combination company will be a holding company and depend upon its subsidiaries for its cash flows. 51

Summary of Risk Factors (Cont.) Risks Related to Our Business and Industry ⚫ Fluctuations in the pricing and availability of commodities could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows. ⚫ In order to increase net revenue and to sustain or increase profitability, we must attract customers in a cost-effective manner. ⚫ We may not succeed in sustaining and promoting our brand, which would prevent us from acquiring customers and increasing our sales. ⚫ Purchasers of diamonds and fine jewelry may not choose to shop online, which would prevent us from growing our online business. ⚫ Long-term changes in consumer attitudes toward jewelry could be unfavorable and harm jewelry sales. ⚫ The fine jewelry retail industry is highly competitive, and if we do not compete successfully, our business may be adversely impacted. ⚫ We may undertake wide-ranging strategic initiatives that may fail to achieve our objectives. ⚫ We plan to expand showrooms in the U.S. and internationally, which may expose us to significant risks. ⚫ We may be unsuccessful in further expanding our operations internationally. ⚫ We face foreign exchange risk. ⚫ Our eCommerce business faces distinct risks, including increased costs related to search engine marketing, and our failure to successfully manage those risks could have a negative impact on our results of operations. ⚫ Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to provide a cost-effective shopping platform that is able to respond and adapt to rapid changes in technology and consumer preferences. ⚫ We may not accurately forecast sales and appropriately plan our expenses. ⚫ If we are unable to accurately manage our inventory, our reputation, results of operations and cash flows could suffer. ⚫ We rely on our relationship with third-party payment processors and consumer credit companies to process transactions and to offer financing for the purchase of our products. Any deterioration in consumers’ financial position, changes to the regulatory requirements regarding payment processing or the granting of credit to customers or disruption in the availability of credit to customers could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows. 52

Summary of Risk Factors (Cont.) Risks Related to Our Business and Industry ⚫ Our business is affected by acute seasonality patterns, and as a result, our quarterly results may fluctuate and could be below expectations. ⚫ The success of our business may depend on our ability to successfully expand our product offerings. ⚫ Refunds, cancellations, and warranty claims could harm our business. ⚫ We face the risk of theft of our products from inventory, including fulfillment centers and showrooms, or during shipment. ⚫ Our failure to address risks associated with payment methods, credit card fraud and other consumer fraud, including our failure to offer a variety of payment methods, may cause our business and results of operations to suffer. ⚫ We may need to implement additional finance and accounting systems, procedures and controls as we grow our business and organization to satisfy international and other new reporting requirements. ⚫ Our level of indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate sufficient cash to fulfill our obligations under such indebtedness, to react to changes in our business, and to incur additional indebtedness to fund future needs. ⚫ Environmental, social, and governance matters may impact our business and reputation Risks Related to Global and Economic Conditions ⚫ The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may in the future have, a material impact on our business. ⚫ An overall decline in the health of the economy and other factors impacting consumer spending, such as recessionary conditions, governmental instability, and natural disasters, may affect consumer purchases, which could reduce demand for our products and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. 53

Summary of Risk Factors (Cont.) Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties ⚫ Our supplier relationships are a key component of our business, and any adverse development in such relationships may cause our business and results of operations to suffer. ⚫ We rely on our suppliers, third-party carriers and third-party jewelers as part of our fulfillment process, and these third parties may fail to adequately serve our customers. ⚫ We rely primarily on third-party insurance policies to insure our operations-related risks. If our insurance coverage is insufficient for the needs of our business or our insurance providers are unable to meet their obligations, we may not be able to mitigate the risks facing our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Risks Related to Information Technology, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy ⚫ Our failure or the failure of our third-party business partners to protect our sites, networks and systems against security breaches, or otherwise to protect our confidential information, could damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our business and results of operations. ⚫ System interruptions that impair customer access to our website would damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our business and results of operations. ⚫ Our use of open source software may pose particular risks to our proprietary software and systems. ⚫ We are subject to rapidly changing and increasingly stringent laws and industry standards relating to privacy, data security and data protection. The restrictions and costs imposed by these laws, or our actual or perceived failure to comply with them, could subject us to liabilities that adversely affect our business, operations and financial performance. Risks Related to Intellectual Property ⚫ Failure to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business and results of operations. ⚫ Assertions by third parties of infringement by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and substantially harm our business and results of operations. 54

Summary of Risk Factors (Cont.) Risks Related to Human Capital ⚫ We rely on the services of our small, specialized workforce and key personnel, many of whom would be difficult to replace. ⚫ Our success is dependent on the strength and effectiveness of our relationships with our various stakeholders whose behavior may be affected by our management of social, ethical and environmental risks. ⚫ Collective bargaining activity could disrupt our operations, increase labor costs or interfere with the ability of management to focus on executing business strategies. Risks Related to Our Legal and Regulatory Environment ⚫ Our failure to appropriately source or to ensure that our products are appropriately sourced may adversely impact our business. ⚫ Failure to comply with laws, regulations and enforcement activities, or changes in statutory, regulatory, accounting and other legal requirements, could potentially impact our operating and financial results. ⚫ Government regulation of the Internet and eCommerce is evolving and unfavorable changes, or failure by us to comply with applicable regulations, could substantially harm our business and results of operations. ⚫ We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and similar laws and regulations, including, without limitation, vendor sourcing transparency laws and modern slavery regulations, and non-compliance with such laws and regulations can subject us to criminal or civil liability and harm our business, financial condition, reputation and results of operations. ⚫ From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings, class actions, regulatory disputes, and governmental inquiries that could cause us to incur significant expenses, divert our management’s attention and materially harm our business, financial condition and operating results. ⚫ International laws and regulations and foreign taxes could impact our ability to continue to source and manufacture materials for our products on a global scale as well as operate internationally. 55

Summary of Risk Factors (Cont.) Risks Related to Taxation ⚫ We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities. ⚫ Changes in existing taxation laws, rules or practices may adversely affect our financial results. ⚫ Our financial results may be negatively affected if we are required to collect additional taxes on sales or disclose our customers’ private information to tax authorities. 56
