Non-Solicitation
This communication is for informational purposes only and is not
intended to and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy or subscribe for any securities or a solicitation of any vote
of approval, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of

Forward Looking Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements
about future financial and operating results, our plans,
objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future
operations, products and services; and other statements identified
by words such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will
continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “believe,” “intend,”
“plan,” “projection,” “outlook” or words of similar meaning. These
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding Bakkt’s industry and market sizes, future
opportunities for VIH, Bakkt and the combined company, VIH’s and
Bakkt’s estimated future results and the Proposed Transaction,
including the implied enterprise value, the expected transaction
and ownership structure and the likelihood and ability of the
parties to successfully consummate the Proposed Transaction. Such
forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and
expectations of our management and are inherently subject to
significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally
beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may
differ materially from the results anticipated in these
forward-looking statements.
In addition to factors previously disclosed in VIH’s reports
filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this
communication, the following factors, among others, could cause
actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from
the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the
forward-looking statements: (i) inability to meet the closing
conditions to the Proposed Transaction, including the occurrence of
any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to
the termination of the definitive agreement; (ii) the inability to
complete the Proposed Transaction due to the failure to obtain
approval of VIH’s shareholders or Bakkt’s members, the failure to
achieve the minimum amount of cash available following any
redemptions by VIH’s shareholders or the failure to meet the
national stock exchange’s listing standards in connection with the
consummation of the Proposed Transaction; (iii) costs related to
the Proposed Transaction; (iv) a delay or failure to realize the
expected benefits from the Proposed Transaction; (v) risks related
to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations
due to the Proposed Transaction; (vi) the impact of the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic; (vii) changes in the markets in which Bakkt
competes, including with respect to its competitive landscape,
technology evolution or regulatory changes; (viii) changes in the
markets that Bakkt targets; (ix) risk that Bakkt may not be able to
execute its growth strategies, including identifying and executing
acquisitions; (x) risks relating to data security; and (xi) risk
that Bakkt may not be able to develop and maintain effective
internal controls. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other
risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of
VIH’s final prospectus dated September 22, 2020 relating to its
initial public offering, the registration statement on Form S-4 and
the definitive proxy statement/prospectus discussed above and other
documents filed by VIH from time to time with the SEC. These
filings identify and address, or will identify and address, other
important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events
and results to differ materially from those contained in the
forward-looking statements.
