Disclaimer INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA Although all information and opinions expressed in this Presentation, including market data and other statistical information, were obtained from sources believed to be reliable and are included in good faith, Allego and Spartan have not independently verified the information and make no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to its accuracy or completeness. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of Allego and Spartan, which are derived from their respective reviews of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. This Presentation contains preliminary information only, is subject to change at any time and, is not, and should not be assumed to be, complete or to constitute all the information necessary to adequately make an informed decision regarding your engagement with Allego and Spartan. USE OF PROJECTIONS This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Allego, including, but not limited to, estimated results for fiscal years 2021. Such projected financial information constitutes forward-looking information, and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See “Forward Looking Statements” paragraph above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved. Neither Spartan’s nor Allego’s independent auditors have audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES; CURRENCY CONVERSION The financial information and data contained in this Presentation, except for fiscal year 2019 and fiscal year 2020, is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement, prospectus or registration statement to be filed by Allego or Spartan with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as EBITDA, Operational EBITDA and free cash flow, have not been prepared in accordance with Dutch generally accepted accounting principles (“Dutch GAAP”), United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” and together with Dutch GAAP, “GAAP”, as the context may require) or the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). We define (i) EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (ii) Operational EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for reorganization costs, certain business optimization costs, lease buyouts, anticipated board compensation costs and director and officer insurance costs and anticipated transaction costs and (iii) free cash flow as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Spartan and Allego believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Allego’s financial condition and results of operations. Allego’s management uses these non-GAAP measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Spartan and Allego believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing Allego’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Allego’s financial statements. In addition, they 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. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with IFRS results and reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measure are provided in the Appendix to this Presentation. Allego’s financial results are denominated in euros. In order to compare its results with those of comparable businesses, Allego’s financial results or projected results may be denominated in US dollars in the Presentation, representing an exchange rate of 1.14 USD/EUR as of 2/04/2022. CERTAIN MATTERS REGARDING THE ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF WARRANTS In light of the SEC’s Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies issued on April 12, 2021 (the “Statement”), Spartan is currently re-evaluating the classification of its warrants for accounting purposes. If Spartan concludes that its warrants should be accounted for as a liability (rather than as equity), the fair value of the warrants will need to be determined, Spartan’s previously issued financial statements may be subject to revision or restatement, and Spartan may be required to file a Form 8-K under Item 4.02 (Non Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review). Relatedly, Spartan is also assessing the adequacy of its identification internal controls of a material over financial weakness reporting in Spartan’s and disclosure internal controls controls over and financial procedures reporting and is considering and disclosure whether controls its and prior procedures. disclosure on The the full evaluation impact of of the such Statement internal is controls still being needs assessed to be revised and as such in amended further risks filings. may This be assessment identified with may respect result in thereto. the TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES Allego and Spartan own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses. This Presentation also contains trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners.

CERTAIN RISKS RELATED TO ALLEGO All references to the “Company,” “Allego,” “we,” “us,” or “our” in this presentation refer to the business of Allego. The risks presented below are certain of the general risks related to Company’s business, industry and ownership structure and are not exhaustive. The list below is qualified in its entirety by disclosures contained in future filings by the Company, its affiliates or by third parties with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These risks speak only as of the date of the Presentation, and we have no obligation to update the disclosures contained herein. The risks highlighted in future filings with the SEC may differ significantly from and will be more extensive than those presented below. Additional risks related to Allego in connection with and following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination are escribed above under “Forward Looking Statements.” · Allego is an early stage company with a history of operating losses, and expects to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the near and medium term. · Allego has experienced rapid growth and expects to invest substantially in growth for the foreseeable future. If it fails to manage that growth effectively, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. · Allego’s estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and Allego’s growth and success is highly correlated with and dependent upon the continuing rapid adoption of EVs. · Allego faces competition from a number of companies and expects to face significant competition in the future. · Allego may need to raise additional funds or debt, and those funds may not be available when needed. Allego is dependent on the completion of the Proposed Business Combination or other additional financing in order to continue its current operations and to execute its business plan. · If Allego fails to offer high-quality support to its customers and fails to maintain the availability of its charging points, its business and reputation may suffer.· Allego relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for its hardware and equipment and charging stations. · Allego’s business is subject to risks associated with the price of electricity, which may hamper its profitability and growth. · Allego is dependent on the availability of electricity at its current and future charging sites. Delays and/ or other restrictions on the availability of electricity would adversely affect Allego’s business and results of operations. · Allego’s driver base will depend on the effective operation of Allego’s platforms and applications, and a variety of factors may lead to interruption in service, which could harm Allego’s business. 2
Disclaimer · Allego is expanding operations into many European countries, which will expose it to additional tax, compliance, market and local rules and other risks. · Members of Allego’s management have limited experience in operating a public company. · New alternative fuel technologies may negatively impact the growth of the EV market and thus the demand for Allego’s charging stations and services. · The European EV market currently benefits from the availability of rebates, scrappage schemes, tax credits and other financial incentives from governments to offset and incentivize the purchase of EVs, and reduction, modification or elimination of such benefits could cause reduced demand for EVs and EV charging, which would adversely affect Allego’s financial results. · Allego’s business may be adversely affected if it is unable to protect its technology and intellectual property from unauthorized use by third parties. · Allego’s technology could have undetected defects, errors or bugs in hardware or software which could reduce market adoption, damage its reputation with current or prospective customers and/or expose it to product liability and other claims that could materially and adversely affect its business. · Past performance by members of Spartan’s management team may not be indicative of an ability to complete a business combination or of future performance of an investment in Allego.· Spartan’s initial stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Proposed Business Combination, regardless of how Spartan’s public stockholders vote. · The Sponsor, certain members of the Spartan board of directors and its 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 Proposed Business Combination. · Spartan and/or Allego may waive one or more of the conditions to the Proposed Business Combination. · Spartan’s due diligence investigation of Allego and factors affecting its business may not surface all material issues. · Legal proceedings in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the completion of the Proposed Business Combination. · Allego’s right to redeem all Spartan’s warrants prior to their exercise, including at times that may be disadvantageous to holders of such securities. · The Spartan board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Proposed Business Combination. · A significant portion of Spartan’s total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of Spartan’s class A common stock to drop significantly, even if its business is doing well. · Spartan Stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interests after the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management. · The Sponsor and Spartan’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may elect to purchase public shares from public stockholders, which may influence the vote of the Proposed Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of the Spartan’s class A common stock. · If the Spartan merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and/or, taking into account the Share Contribution and Private Placement (as such terms are defined in the F-4), does not qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, or results in gain recognition to holders of Spartan’s class A common stock or Spartan’s warrants pursuant to Section 367(a) of the Code, Spartan Stockholders and/ or Spartan Warrant holders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes. · The Proposed Business Combination could result in Allego N.V. being treated as a U.S. corporation or a “surrogate foreign corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. · Allego is dependent on the completion of the Proposed Business Combination or other additional financing in order to continue as a going concern. 3
