• Total revenue per bedspace increased to $3,233 (or, $6,466 on an annualized basis), up 77% from the first half of 2021
• Opened 13 properties with 3,368 bedspaces in Greece, Australia, Portugal, Panama, the United States, Morocco and Israel

Rafael Museri, Selina's Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are incredibly pleased with what we believe to be our continued strong momentum across each of our key priorities – our focus on robust property operational performance, new openings, and meaningful progress towards becoming a publicly traded company. We delivered positive results in each of our key metrics, including total revenue, occupancy and revenue per occupied bed. We believe the Selina brand resonates with today's traveler, as we continue to offer and expand our coworking, recreation, wellness, and local experiences in sought after destinations. We remain focused on achieving profitability as we grow and scale our platform, and continue to progress towards near-profitable margins. Furthermore, effective as of the closing of the business combination we will appoint five new directors who bring relevant public company leadership, finance, operations, marketing and technology experience. The demand for the travel, work and play experience that Selina provides continues to grow, and we are excited to bring Selina to more destinations across the globe."

On October 3, 2022, the Company announced that its Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the "proxy statement") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") was declared effective on September 30, 2022.

The Special Meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on October 21, 2022 via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/boaacquisition/2022. Please note that you will only be able to access the Special Meeting by means of remote communication.

Summary Key Metrics

Management uses a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key business metrics, to evaluate Selina's business, measure Selina's performance, identify trends affecting Selina's business, formulate financial projections and business plans, and make strategic decisions. Management regularly reviews and may adjust Selina's processes for calculating Selina's internal metrics to improve their accuracy.

Number of Open Bedspaces, Open Beds and Average Daily Open Beds

The number of open bedspaces reflects the total number of bedspaces at opened properties at the end of any given period. Bedspaces is a metric used by Selina to measure the potential sleeping capacity of a given property. It is a static capacity measure, and not one reflecting actual capacity in a given period. Every 5.5m2 of accommodation (sleeping room) area in a property equals one bedspace. Selina's rooms are designed to be convertible into different modalities and with distinct bed configurations.

Open beds reflects the total number of beds in inventory at opened properties at the end of any given period. As Selina properties have the ability to convert rooms into different bed configurations, the total number of open beds may fluctuate at any given location over any given period.

Average daily open beds is calculated as the total number of beds in inventory over any given period of time on a daily basis. This metric reflects Selina's daily accommodations capacity and is used in the calculation of occupancy rate.

Occupancy Rate, Total Daily Revenue Per Occupied Bed and Total Daily Revenue Per Occupied Bedspace

Selina's management views occupancy rate, total daily revenue per occupied bed (TRevPOB) and total daily revenue per occupied bedspace (TRevPOBs) as key indicators of revenue, as Selina believes that these metrics measure Selina's ability to attract guests and guests' spending on property, which in turn directly relate to Selina's revenue and financial performance.

Occupancy rate is the number of beds sold divided by the total number of open beds, over any given period. Total daily revenue per occupied bed (TRevPOB) is defined as total revenue, excluding Remote Year revenue, for any given property, for any given period, divided by the number of beds sold in that same period. Total daily revenue per occupied bedspace (TRevPOBs) is defined as total revenue, excluding Remote Year revenue, for any given property, for any given period, divided by the number of bedspaces sold in that same period. The number of bedspaces sold is determined by multiplying the occupancy rate for any given period by the average of the total number of open bedspaces at the beginning and end of that period. This measure removes the impact of occupancy, as it reflects total revenue on a per occupied bedspace basis.

Total Revenue Per Bedspace

Total revenue per bedspace is calculated as total revenue, excluding Remote Year revenue, for any given property, for any given period, divided by the average of the total number of open bedspaces at the beginning and end of that period.
