Forward-Looking Information

This communication contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws with respect to the Parties and the Transactions. The expectations, estimates, and projections of the businesses of Parataxis and SilverBox may differ from their actual results and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Transactions, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Transactions, and the timing of the completion of the Transactions. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of SilverBox, Parataxis and Pubco and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the Transactions not being completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of SilverBox’s securities; (2) the Transactions not being completed by SilverBox’s business combination deadline; (3) the failure by the parties to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions, including the approval of SilverBox’s shareholders; (4) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Pubco to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (5) the level of redemptions of SilverBox’s public shareholders which will reduce the amount of funds available for Pubco to execute on its business strategies and may make it difficult to obtain or maintain the listing or trading of Pubco securities on a national securities exchange; (6) the failure of Pubco to obtain or maintain the listing of its securities on any securities exchange after the closing of the Transactions; (7) costs related to the Transactions and as a result of becoming a public company that may be higher than currently anticipated; (8) changes in business, market, financial, political and regulatory conditions; (9) Pubco’s anticipated operations and business, including the highly volatile nature of the price of Bitcoin; (10) that Pubco’s stock price will be highly correlated to the price of Bitcoin and the price of Bitcoin may decrease between the signing of the definitive documents for the Transactions and the closing of the Transactions or at any time after the closing of the Transactions; (11) increased competition in the industries in which Pubco will operate; (12) significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty regarding Bitcoin; (13) treatment of crypto assets for U.S. and foreign tax purposes; (14) that after consummation of the Transactions, Pubco may experience difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; (15) challenges in implementing Pubco’s business plan due to operational challenges, significant competition and regulation; (16) Pubco being considered to be a “shell company” by the securities exchange on which Pubco securities will be listed or by the SEC, which may impact the ability to list Pubco securities and restrict reliance on certain rules or forms in connection with the offering, sale or resale of securities; (17) the outcome of any potential legal proceedings that may be instituted against SilverBox, Parataxis, Pubco or others following announcement of the Transactions; (18) that trading price and volume of Pubco securities may be volatile following the Transactions and an active trading market may not develop; (19) that Pubco stockholders may experience dilution in the future due to the exercise of a significant number of existing warrants and any future issuances of equity securities in Pubco; (20) that investors may experience immediate and material dilution upon Closing as a result of the SilverBox Class B ordinary shares held by the sponsor of SilverBox, since the value of the SilverBox Class B ordinary shares is likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for them, even if the trading price of Pubco securities at such time is substantially less than the price per share paid by investors; (21) conflicts of interest that may arise from investment and transaction opportunities involving Parataxis, Pubco, their affiliates and other investors and clients; (22) legal, regulatory, political, currency, and economic risks specific to South Korea, including risks related to geopolitical tensions in the region; (23) risks related to, and potential loss of the entire investment in, Parataxis’ investment in a KOSDAQ-listed company; (24) that Bitcoin trading venues may experience greater fraud, security failures or regulatory or operational problems than trading venues for more established asset classes; (25) the custody of Pubco’s Bitcoin, including the loss or destruction of private keys required to access its Bitcoin and cyberattacks or other data loss relating to its Bitcoin, which could cause Pubco to lose some or all of its Bitcoin; (26) that in the event of a security breach or cyber-attack and unauthorized parties obtaining access to Pubco’s Bitcoin assets, Pubco may lose some or all of its Bitcoin temporarily or permanently and its financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected; (27) the emergence or growth of other digital assets, including those with significant private or public sector backing, including by governments, consortiums or financial institutions, could have a negative impact on the price of Bitcoin and adversely affect Pubco’s business; (28) potential regulatory change reclassifying Bitcoin as a security could lead to the Pubco’s classification as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and could adversely affect the market price of Bitcoin and the market price of Pubco listed securities; (29) that it is not possible to predict the amount of Pubco securities sold under the standby equity purchase agreement (“SEPA”) or the gross proceeds resulting from such sales, sales under the SEPA will cause dilution to existing Pubco stockholders, and Pubco may spend any proceeds under the SEPA in ways that may not generate a significant return; and (30) other risks and uncertainties included in (x) the “Risk Factors” sections of the SilverBox Annual Report and (y) other documents filed or to be filed with or furnished or to be furnished to the SEC by SilverBox, Parataxis and Pubco. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. SilverBox, Parataxis and Pubco do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law. Past performance by SilverBox’s, Parataxis’ or Pubco’s management teams and their respective affiliates is not a guarantee of future performance. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on the historical record of the performance of SilverBox’s, Parataxis’ or Pubco’s management teams or businesses associated with them as indicative of future performance of an investment or the returns that SilverBox, Parataxis or Pubco will, or are likely to, generate going forward.

None of the Parties or any of their respective representatives gives any assurance that any of SilverBox, Parataxis or Pubco will achieve its expectations. The inclusion of any statement in this communication does not constitute by SilverBox, Parataxis or Pubco or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.
