A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Proposed Transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Business Combination Agreement is included to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Hammerhead, NewCo, the Company or AmalCo. In particular, the assertions embodied in representations and warranties by Hammerhead, NewCo, the Company and AmalCo contained in the Business Combination Agreement are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement, including being qualified by confidential information in the disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to security holders. The confidential disclosures contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the Hammerhead, NewCo, the Company or AmalCo. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

In certain circumstances, the holders can demand New SPAC’s assistance with underwritten offerings and block trades. The holders will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit H to the Business Combination Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document includes certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that refer to 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,” “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 may include, for example, statements about ~~the~~Hammerhead’s ~~Company~~ or ~~Hammerhead~~DCRD’s ability to effectuate the proposed ~~business~~Business ~~combination~~Combination discussed in this document; ~~the~~statements ~~benefits~~related ofto the ~~proposed~~commencement ~~business combination; the future financial performance~~ of ~~New~~mailing ~~SPAC (which will be the go-forward public company following the completion~~ of the ~~business~~Proxy ~~combination) following the transactions~~Statement; ~~changes in Hammerhead’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues~~ and ~~losses,~~statements ~~projected~~related ~~costs,~~to ~~prospects,~~the ~~plans~~Shareholders’ ~~and objectives of management~~Meeting. These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this document, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing ~~the Company~~NewCo’s, Hammerhead’s or ~~New SPAC~~DCRD’s views as of any subsequent date, and none of ~~the Company~~NewCo, Hammerhead or ~~New~~DCRD ~~SPAC~~ undertakes any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Neither ~~New~~NewCo ~~SPAC~~ nor ~~the~~DCRD ~~Company~~ gives any assurance that either ~~New~~NewCo ~~SPAC~~ or ~~the~~DCRD ~~Company~~ will achieve its expectations. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, ~~New SPAC~~NewCo’s actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include: (i) the timing to complete the proposed ~~business~~Business ~~combination~~Combination by ~~the Company~~DCRD’s business combination deadline and the ~~potential~~ failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by the Company; (ii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreements relating to the proposed business combination; (iii) the outcome of any legal, regulatory or governmental proceedings that may be instituted against New SPAC, the Company, Hammerhead or any investigation or inquiry following announcement of the proposed business combination, including in connection with the proposed business combination; (iv) the inability to complete the proposed business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the Company’s shareholders; (v) Hammerhead’s and New SPAC’s success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, its officers, key employees or directors following the proposed business combination; (vi) the ability of the parties to obtain the listing of New SPAC’s common shares and warrants on Nasdaq upon the closing of the proposed business combination; (vii) the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations of Hammerhead; (viii) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; (ix) unexpected costs related to the proposed business combination; (x) the amount of redemptions by the Company’s public shareholders being greater than expected; (xi) the management and board composition of New SPAC following completion of the proposed business combination; (xii) limited liquidity and trading of New SPAC’s securities; (xiii) geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws or regulations; (xiv) the possibility that Hammerhead or the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (xv) operational risks; (xvi) the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic or another major disease disrupts Hammerhead’s business; (xvii) litigation and regulatory enforcement risks, including the diversion of management time and attention and the additional costs and demands on Hammerhead’s resources; (xix) the risks that the consummation of the proposed business combination is substantially delayed or does not occur; and (xx) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC.
