Fast Radius, Inc. (“Fast Radius”), a cloud manufacturing company,

Radius shares of common stock and public warrants are expected to
begin trading on Monday, February 7, 2022, on Nasdaq under the
ticker symbols “FSRD” and “FSRD.WS,” respectively.
The transaction, and the various proposals giving effect

at a special meeting of ENNV’s stockholders held on February 2,
2022. A Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the full voting
results will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on February 4, 2022.
“The completion of our merger with ENNV is an extraordinary
milestone for our company, our employees, and our shareholders,”
said Lou Rassey, Co-Founder and CEO of Fast Radius. “From day one,
our purpose has been to make new things possible with our
first-of-its-kind Cloud Manufacturing Platform where manufacturers
can more efficiently and sustainably design, make, and move parts.
All of us at Fast Radius, including a highly qualified board and
management team, look forward to continuing our mission and to
drive value for our shareholders.”
Doug Kimmelman, Chairman of ENNV, said, “This is an incredible
opportunity to participate in a publicly-listed industrial
technology company with significant runway, and we are confident in
the Fast Radius team’s ability to execute on their differentiated
and sustainable business model to drive growth and value
creation.”
Fast Radius management will participate in a closing bell
ceremony at Nasdaq on February 16, 2022 to celebrate the public
listing.
