This communication relates to the proposed business combination between FACT II Acquisition Corp. (“FACT”) and Precision Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc. (“PAD” or the “Company”) (the “Business Combination”). This communication includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to: statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity and market share; expectations regarding the Company’s ability to execute its business model and the expected financial benefits of such model; the Company’s expectations concerning relationships with strategic partners, suppliers, governments, state-funded entities, regulatory bodies and other third parties; future ventures or investments in companies, products, services or technologies; the potential for the Company to increase in value; the satisfaction of the closing conditions of the proposed Business Combination and any other transaction related thereto; expectations relating to the proposed Business Combination and any other transaction related thereto; and the timing of the closing of the proposed Business Combination. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, and on the current expectations of PAD’s and FACT’s management and are not predictions of actual performance.

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by an investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of PAD and FACT.

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause PAD’s or FACT’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include: that PAD is pursuing an emerging technology, faces significant technical challenges and may not achieve commercialization or market acceptance; PAD’s limited operating history; PAD’s expectations regarding future financial performance, capital requirements and unit economics; PAD’s use and reporting of business and operational metrics; PAD’s competitive landscape; PAD’s dependence on members of its senior management and its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; PAD’s concentration of revenue in contracts with government or state-funded entities; the potential need for additional future financing; PAD’s ability to manage growth and expand its operations; potential future acquisitions or investments in companies, products, services or technologies; PAD’s reliance on strategic partners and other third parties; PAD’s ability to maintain, protect and defend its intellectual property rights; risks associated with privacy, data protection or cybersecurity incidents and related regulations; the use, rate of adoption and regulation of artificial intelligence and machine learning; uncertainty or changes with respect to laws and regulations; uncertainty or changes with respect to taxes, trade conditions and the macroeconomic environment; the combined company’s ability to maintain internal control over financial reporting and operate a public company; changes in market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed Business Combination or any other transaction related to the proposed Business Combination, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions (such as any statements or enforcements or other actions relating to special purpose acquisition companies by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed Business Combination or any other transaction related to the proposed Business Combination; the risk that the approval of the shareholders of FACT or PAD or any other condition to the closing of the proposed Business Combination is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination or any other transaction related to the proposed Business Combination; risks relating to any legal proceedings that may be instituted against FACT, the combined company or others in connection with the proposed Business Combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to PAD and the combined company; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; global economic and political conditions; the amount of redemption requests made by FACT’s public shareholders; and those factors discussed in documents that FACT has filed or will file with the SEC.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Readers should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the documents filed by FACT from time to time with the SEC, including the Registration Statement (as defined below), when available. Such filings 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. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this communication. Neither PAD nor FACT undertakes any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events, developments, or circumstances after the date hereof, except as required by applicable law.
