Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “envision,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “contemplate” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. The forward-looking statements in this report are only predictions and are based

largely on DSAQ’s current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including without limitation, market conditions and the impact of these changes on the trading and price of DSAQ’s securities; changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination, or that the approval of the stockholders of Hunch Mobility or DSAQ is not obtained; the ability to acquire and maintain the listing of PubCo’s securities on a stock exchange; the inability to complete any private placement financing, the amount of any private placement financing or the completion of any private placement financing with terms unfavorable to you; the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations DSAQ, Hunch Mobility, IndiaCo or PubCo as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed business combination and related transactions; the risk that any of the conditions to closing of the proposed business combination are not satisfied in the anticipated manner or on the anticipated timeline or are waived by any of the parties thereto; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination and related transactions, which may be affected by, among other things, the ability of PubCo to grow and manage growth profitably, or grow its customer base and retain its management and key employees; risks relating to the uncertainty of the costs related to the proposed business combination; risks related to the rollout of Hunch Mobility, IndiaCo and PubCo’s business strategy and the timing of expected business milestones, including, but not limited to, the use of electrical vertical aircraft; Hunch Mobility’s limited operating history and history of net losses; the evolution and growth of the markets in which PubCo operates; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the ability of PubCo to adhere to legal and regulatory requirements and to receive any needed regulatory approvals or licenses; cybersecurity risks, data loss and other breaches of PubCo’s network security and the disclosure of personal information; the effects of competition on Hunch Mobility, IndiaCo and PubCo’s business; risks related to domestic and international political and macroeconomic uncertainty, including the continued economic growth of the Indian sub-continent; the impacts of climate change; the Russia-Ukraine conflict; consumer preferences, supply chain issues and inflation; risks related to PubCo’s third party aircraft operators; PubCo’s reliance on technology leased from Blade Air Mobility, Inc.; the limited geographic scope of PubCo’s operations to the Indian sub-continent; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Hunch Mobility, IndiaCo, DSAQ, PubCo or any of their respective directors or officers, following the announcement of the proposed business combination; the amount of redemption requests made by DSAQ’s public stockholders; the ability of DSAQ to issue equity, if any, in connection with the proposed business combination or to otherwise obtain financing in the future; risks related to Hunch Mobility, IndiaCo and PubCo’s industry; and other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of DSAQ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, and as supplemented by DSAQ’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2024. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond DSAQ’s control, investors should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in DSAQ’s forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, DSAQ does not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
