Forward-Looking Statements

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in these communications are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s path to profitability and strategic outlook, the delayed draw term loan, milestones thereunder and the anticipated use of proceeds therefrom, statements that refer to outlook, projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “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. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, them. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected.

Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: changes adversely affecting the business in which the Company is engaged; the Company’s ability to forecast trends accurately; the Company’s ability to generate cash, service indebtedness and incur additional indebtedness; the Company’s ability to achieve the operational milestones on the delayed draw term loan; the Company’s ability to raise financing in the future, including the discretionary revolving facility from Cerberus; the Company’s customers’ ability to secure project financing; the amount of final tax credits available to the Company’s customers or to Eos pursuant to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, uncertainties around the Company’s ability to meet the applicable conditions precedent and secure final approval of a loan, in a timely manner or at all from the U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office, or the timing of funding and the final size of any loan that is approved; the possibility of a government shutdown while the Company works to meet the applicable conditions precedent and finalize loan documents with the U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office or while the Company awaits notice of a decision regarding the issuance of a loan from the U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office; the Company’s ability to continue to develop efficient manufacturing processes to scale and to forecast related costs and efficiencies accurately; fluctuations in the Company’s revenue and operating results; competition from existing or new competitors; the Company’s ability to convert firm order backlog and pipeline to revenue; risks associated with security breaches in the Company’s information technology systems; risks related to legal proceedings or claims; risks associated with evolving energy policies in the United States and other countries and the potential costs of regulatory compliance; risks associated with changes to the U.S. trade environment; risks resulting from the impact of global pandemics, including the novel coronavirus, COVID-19; the Company’s ability to maintain the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on NASDAQ; the Company’s ability to grow the Company’s business and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain the Company’s management and key employees; risks related to the adverse changes in general economic conditions, including inflationary pressures and increased interest rates; risk from supply chain disruptions and other impacts of geopolitical conflict; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that Eos may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; other factors beyond the Company’s control; risks related to adverse changes in general economic conditions; and other risks and uncertainties.

The forward-looking statements contained in these communications are also subject to additional risks, uncertainties, and factors, including those more fully described in the Company’s most recent filings with the SEC on, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Further information on potential risks that could affect actual results will be included in the subsequent periodic and current reports and other filings that the Company makes with the SEC from time to time. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks and uncertainties may emerge that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in these communications.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and, except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
