Forward - Looking Statements Certain statements included in this Presentation that are not historical facts are forward - looking statements for purposes of th e safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 o r i ndicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, projections of market and revenue opportunities, planned business strategies, the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic, competitive position and technological and mark et trends. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Presentation, and on the current expectations of Velodyne’s and Graf’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward - looking statements are provided for illustra tive purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circ ums tances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ materially from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstance s a re beyond the control of Velodyne and Graf. These forward - looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward - looking statements, including the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Business Combination or tha t the approval of the stockholders of Graf or Velodyne is not obtained; the inability of the post - Business Combination company to meet the NYSE's listing standards; costs related to the Proposed Business Combination; Velodyne’s ability to manage growth; Velodyne’s ability to execute its business plan; the timing of revenue from existing customers, including uncertainties related to the ability of Velodyne’s customers to commercialize their products and the ultimate market acceptance of these products; the uncertain impact of the C OV ID - 19 pandemic on Velodyne’s and its customers’ businesses; uncertainties related to Velodyne’s estimates of the size of the markets for its products and future revenue opportunities; the rate and degree of market accepta nce of Velodyne’s products; the success of other competing lidar and sensor - related products and services that exist or may become available; Velodyne’s ability to identify and integrate acquisitions; rising costs adversely affecting Velodyne’s profitability; uncertainties related to Velodyne’s current litigation and potential litigation involving GRAF or Velodyne or the validity or enforceability of Velodyne’s intellectual property; Velodyne’s ability to partner with and rely on third party manufacturers; general economic and market conditions impacting demand for Velodyne’s products and services ; changes in applicable laws or regulations; and those factors discussed in the preliminary Proxy S tatement relating to the Proposed Business Combination filed with the SEC on July 15, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”), Graf’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Quarterly Report on Form 10 - Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, in each case, under the headings “Risk Factors” and other do cuments of Graf filed, or to be filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward - looking sta tements. There may be additional risks that neither Graf nor Velodyne presently know or that Graf and Velodyne currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward - looking statements. In additio n, forward - looking statements reflect Graf’s and Velodyne’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. Graf and Velodyne anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause Graf’s and Velodyne’s assessments to change. However, while Graf and Velodyne may elect to update these forward - looking statements at some point in the future, Graf and Velodyne specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward - looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Graf’ s and Velodyne’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward - looking statements. Use of Projections This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Velodyne . Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information, and is included herein for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties. See “Forward - Looking Statements” above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation sho ul d not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved .
Page 3 | Disclaimer (Cont’d) Financial Information; Non - GAAP Financial Measures Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X. A ccordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, the Proxy Statement that was filed by Graf with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as A djusted EBITDA and free cash flow, has not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Operating Income plus Depreciation & Amortization and other one - time charges. Free cash flow is defined as Cash Flow from Operations minus Capital Expenditures. For a reconciliation of these non - GAAP financial measures, please see the page entitled "Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Financials" at the end of this Presentation . Graf and Velodyne believe these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Velodyne’s financial condition and results of operations. Velodyne’s management uses these non - GAAP measures for purposes of budgeting, planning and other purposes. Graf and Velodyne believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projec ted operating results and trends in and in comparing Velodyne’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non - GAAP measures in isola tion or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non - GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant items that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Velodyne’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by mana ge ment about what is excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitation s, management presents non - GAAP financial measures together with GAAP results. You should review Velodyne’s audited financial statements, which were included in the Proxy Statement filed by Graf with the SEC. Additionally, to the extent that forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non - GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward - looking non - GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessa ry for such reconciliation.

Fiber lasers expensive and not widely available in automotive grade. Fiber laser will always require a separate laser source that is actively cooled and placed in a different location such as vehicle trunk
