Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In this context,

contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,”
“seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “target,” similar expressions, and variations
or negatives of these words, but not all forward-looking statements include such words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address
matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated
benefits thereof. All such forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates, expectations and ambitions that are subject
to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond the control of CoreWeave and Core Scientific, that could cause actual

economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management,
expansion and growth of the combined company’s operations and other conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction, including
the possibility that any of the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction will not be realized or will not be realized within the
expected time period; the ability of CoreWeave and Core Scientific to integrate their businesses successfully and to achieve anticipated
synergies and value creation; potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction that could be instituted against CoreWeave, Core
Scientific or their respective directors and officers; the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction will harm CoreWeave’s
or Core Scientific’s business, including current plans and operations and that management’s time and attention will be diverted
on transaction-related issues; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion
of the proposed transaction; rating agency actions and CoreWeave’s and Core Scientific’s ability to access short- and long-term
debt markets on a timely and affordable basis; legislative, regulatory and economic developments and actions targeting public companies
in the artificial intelligence, power, data center and crypto mining industries and changes in local, national or international laws,
regulations and policies affecting CoreWeave and Core Scientific; potential business uncertainty, including the outcome of commercial
negotiations and changes to existing business relationships during the pendency of the proposed transaction that could affect CoreWeave’s
and/or Core Scientific’s financial performance and operating results; certain restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction
that may impact Core Scientific’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions or otherwise operate
its business; acts of terrorism or outbreak of war, hostilities, civil unrest, attacks against CoreWeave or Core Scientific and other
political or security disturbances; dilution caused by CoreWeave’s issuance
of additional shares of its securities in connection with the proposed transaction; the possibility that the transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; the impacts of pandemics or other public health crises, including the effects of government responses on people and economies; global or regional changes in the supply and demand for power and other market or economic conditions that impact demand and pricing; changes in technical or operating conditions, including unforeseen technical difficulties; development delays at CoreWeave and/or Core Scientific data center sites, including any delays in the conversion of such sites from crypto mining facilities to high-performance computing sites; those risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in CoreWeave’s Prospectus dated March 27, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-285512), Part II, Item 1A of CoreWeave’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2025 and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K; those risks described in Part II, Item 1A of Core Scientific’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2025, Part I, Item 1A of Core Scientific’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025 and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K; and those risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Proxy Statement and the Prospectus available from the sources indicated above.
