The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the management of ROCR and QualTek, as applicable, and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that  may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed and identified in public filings made with the SEC by ROCR and the following:

• expectations regarding QualTek's strategies and future financial performance, including its future business plans or objectives, prospective performance and opportunities and competitors, revenues, products and services, pricing, operating expenses, market trends, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and QualTek's ability to invest in growth initiatives and pursue acquisition opportunities;
• the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement dated as of June 16, 2021, among ROCR, QualTek and the other parties thereto (the "Business Combination Agreement");
• the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against ROCR or QualTek following announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein;
• the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination due to, among other things, the failure to obtain ROCR stockholder approval or ROCR's inability to obtain the financing necessary to consummate the Business Combination;
• the risk that the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination disrupts QualTek's current operations and future plans;
• the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination;
• unexpected costs related to the proposed Business Combination;
• the amount of any redemptions by existing holders of ROCR's common stock being greater than expected;
• limited liquidity and trading of ROCR's securities;
• geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws or regulations;
• the possibility that ROCR and/or QualTek may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors;
• operational risk;

• the risks that the consummation of the proposed Business Combination is substantially delayed or does not occur.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions made by the management of ROCR and QualTek prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

Any financial projections in this communication are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond ROCR's and QualTek's control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, ROCR and QualTek believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels  of  uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this communication should not be regarded as an indication that ROCR and QualTek, or their representatives, considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.

Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers, including as to value, are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the proposed Business Combination or other matters addressed in this communication and attributable to ROCR, QualTek or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this communication. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, ROCR and QualTek undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this communication to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
