Getaround's mission is to fundamentally change the paradigm of car ownership. Getaround's technology platform addresses the severe underutilization of vehicles throughout the world – 95% of a vehicle's life is idle, resting in a parking space, rather than producing income for its owner and mobility solutions for the consumer. Through its proprietary technology, Getaround allows for an entirely digital and contactless carsharing experience unlike its competitors. Getaround Connect^® enables consumers to reserve instantly and retrieve within minutes a nearby vehicle, without the need to fill out paperwork, wait in line or physically exchange keys. Additionally, the digital ease of Getaround Connect empowers hosts to build profitable and sustainable businesses by allowing them to easily scale and manage large fleets of vehicles across wide market regions.

Management Commentary

"Getaround is about empowering people everywhere to share cars and making the sharing experience increasingly simpler and more reliable through the use of digital and connected technology. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure Getaround is as convenient as personal car ownership," said Zaid. "Consumers seeking to use a car or truck no longer need to stand in lines, fill out paperwork, or endure all of the hassles associated with owning and maintaining a vehicle. We are accelerating a much-needed transition from a legacy, analog car rental experience to a fully digital and ‘keyless' carsharing experience. The transaction with InterPrivate is pivotal to our long-term growth strategy. Proceeds will be used for continued product innovation, to densify the supply of digitally connected cars in our existing markets, and to increase both the mix and proximity of our cars and trucks for consumers. We will also look to bring our proven model to new markets, both domestic and abroad. Getaround is thrilled to partner with a reputable and trusted partner such as InterPrivate to usher in this exciting new chapter in our company's rich history as a publicly traded company."

"Getaround is one of the two largest players in the global car-sharing market that it helped pioneer," said Ahmed Fattouh, Chairman & CEO of InterPrivate. "We are proud to partner with such an established leadership team — founder-led and bolstered by top executives with experience across leading Silicon Valley companies. As a relentless innovator, the Company has designed and deployed its proprietary Getaround Connect technology to build formidable network effects in cities across the globe, improving utilization of automotive assets and transforming the way its customers access transportation. Getaround has demonstrated years of strong execution — as evidenced by their robust growth, established scale, and demonstrated adjusted EBITDA profitability in key cities. Our merger is expected to accelerate the expansion of the Company's uniquely enduring asset-light marketplace within one of the largest consumer categories, providing more efficient mobility for global consumers along the way."

Jason Mudrick, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Mudrick Capital Management, LP, a global investment firm, added, "We are excited to partner with Getaround on its business combination with InterPrivate to go public. The Company's loyal consumer following, established scale, attractive unit economics and sustainable technology advantages fit the profile we seek in our growth investment strategy – business models that have hit their inflection point and are ready for their public market debut. Our significant capital commitment of up to $175 million is expected to help Sam Zaid and his team execute on their global expansion plan. We are pleased to back InterPrivate in this important transaction and look forward to continuing our collaboration around their serial SPAC strategy."

Getaround's leading market position is reinforced by foundational partnerships with global automotive OEMs such as Toyota and integrations with car hailing apps such as Uber. There are 1.2 billion legacy cars and trucks that Getaround is able to digitize with its patented IoT technology. By 2025, Counterpoint Research expects there to be more than 270 million connected cars and trucks. There is a clear secular shift in the way many people view vehicle ownership; an attitude that is informed by the ethical imperatives of waste mitigation, efficiency, environmental protection and equity.
