This presentation does not purport to contain all of the information that may be required to evaluate a possible investment decision with respect to Forum, and does not constitute investment, tax or legal advice. The recipient also acknow led ges and agrees that the information contained in this presentation is preliminary in nature and is subject to change, and any such changes may be material. Forum and Ittella disclaim any duty to update the information contained in this presentation. An y and all trademarks and trade names referred to in this presentation are the property of their respective owners. Forward - Looking Statements. This presentation contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward - looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the estimated future financial performance, financial position and financial impacts of the Business Combination, satisfaction of cl osing conditions to the Business Combination, the level of redemption by Forum’s public stockholders and purchase price adjustments in connection with the Business Combination, the timing of the completion of the Business Combination, the antici pat ed Adjusted EBITDA of the combined company following the Business Combination, anticipated ownership percentages of the combined company’s stockholders following the Business Combination, and the business strategy, plans and objectives of ma nag ement for future operations, including as they relate to the potential Business Combination. Such statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” and “project” and ot her similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but th e absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward - looking. When Forum discusses its strategies or plans, incl uding as they relate to the Business Combination, it is making projections, forecasts and forward looking statements. Such statements are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to, Forum’s manage men t. These forward - looking statements involve significant risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expected result. Most of these factors are outside Forum’s and Ittella’s control and are difficult to predict. Fact or s that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances th at could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties or the combined company following announcement of the proposed Business Combination; (3) the inability to co mplete the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Forum or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (4) the risk that the announcement of the proposed Business Com bin ation disrupts current plans and operations; (5) the ability of the combined company to meet its financial and strategic goals, due to, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitability a nd maintain relationships with suppliers and customers; (6) costs related to the Business Combination; (7) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (8) the possibility that the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, bu sin ess, competitive factors, weather and/or commodity prices; and (9) other risks and uncertainties described in the documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Forum. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance u pon any forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and Forum and Ittella undertake no obligation to update or review the forward - looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. No Offer or Solicitation. This presentation shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with res pec t to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination. This presentation shall also not constitute an offer to sell o r t he solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of Forum, Ittella or their affiliates. Use of Projections. This presentation contains financial forecasts. Neither Forum’s nor Ittella’s auditors have audited, revi ewe d, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentati on, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the pu rpo se of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. In this presentation, certain of the above - mentioned projected information has been p rovided for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and compet iti ve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective finan cia l information. Projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside of Forum’s or Ittella’s control. Accordi ngl y, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of future performance of Forum, Ittella or the combi ned company after the Business Combination or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospect ive financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Industry and Market Data. In this presentation, we rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding market participa nts in the sectors in which Ittella competes and other industry data. We obtained this information and statistics from third - party sources, including reports by market research firms and company filings. Being in receipt of this presentation you agree you may be restricted from dealing in (or encouraging others to deal in) price sensitive securities. Non - GAAP Measures. This presentation includes certain non - GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjuste d EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and adjusted to reflect certain non - recurring expenses or those expenses not e xpected to survive the closing. The Company's management believes that this non - GAAP, unaudited measure of financial results provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to t he Company's financial condition and results of operations and you should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business. These non - GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting pr inciples in the United States (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP. These non - GAAP financial measures are included herein because Forum and Ittella believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provi des an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. Other companies may calculate their non - GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore Ittella’s non - GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For additional information and a reconciliation of these non - GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures, see the section titled “Non - GAAP Reconciliation” in t he Appendix at the end of this presentation. Additionally, to the extent that forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non - GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Additional Information Forum has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination and intends to file a def initive proxy statement, when available, that will be mailed to its stockholders in connection with Forum’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by Forum’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by Forum’s stockholders with respect to the Business Com bin ation and other matters described in the proxy statement. This presentation does not contain all of the information that shou ld be considered concerning the Business Combination. Forum’s stockholders and other interested parties are advised to read the pr eliminary proxy statement and, when available, the definitive proxy statement and any additional information filed by Forum with the SEC concerning the Business Combination, as these materials will contain important information about Ittella, For um and the Business Combination. A definitive proxy statement will be mailed to stockholders of Forum as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the proxy state men t and other documents filed with the SEC that will be incorporated by reference in the proxy statement, without charge, once available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Forum Merger II Corporation, 1615 South Congress Ave nue, Suite 103, Delray Beach, FL 33445.
