CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “might,” “possible,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report include statements about:

our ability to commercialize the Aurora Driver safely, quickly, and broadly on the timeline we expect;

the market for autonomous vehicles and our market position;

our ability to compete effectively with existing and new competitors;

the ability to maintain the listing of our Class A common stock and warrants on Nasdaq;

our ability to raise financing in the future;

anticipated trends, growth rates, and challenges in our business and in the markets in which we operate;

our ability to effectively manage our growth and future expenses;

the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our operating requirements;

our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;

the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment;

our ability to successfully collaborate with business partners;

our ability to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property;

economic and industry trends or trend analysis;

the impact of infectious diseases, health epidemics and pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), natural disasters, war (including Russia’s actions in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war), acts of terrorism or responses to these events; and

other factors detailed under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

We caution you that the foregoing list does not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Moreover, the forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Annual Report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.
