believes that it has a reasonable basis for each forward-looking
statement contained in this communication, each of ACAC, Foxx and
PubCo cautions you that these statements are based on a combination
of facts and factors currently known and projections of the future,

ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transactions,
the amount of redemption requests made by ACAC’s public
stockholders, costs related to the transactions, the impact of the
global COVID-19 pandemic, the risk that the transaction disrupts
current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and
consummation of the transactions, the outcome of any potential

related to ACAC’s initial public offering, and in its subsequent
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC.
There may be additional risks that neither ACAC or Foxx presently
know or that ACAC and Foxx currently believe are immaterial that
could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in
the forward-looking statements. In light of the significant
uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not
regard these statements as a representation or warranty by ACAC,
Foxx, their respective directors, officers or employees or any
other person that ACAC and Foxx will achieve their objectives and
plans in any specified time frame, or at all. The forward-looking
statements in this press release represent the views of ACAC and
Foxx as of the date of this communication. Subsequent events and
developments may cause those views to change. However, while ACAC

there is no current intention to do so, except to the extent
required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on
these forward-looking statements as representing the views of ACAC
or Foxx as of any date subsequent to the date of this
