The financial position and results of DevvStream after closing of the Business Combination may differ significantly from those indicated in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this Current Report. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical financial position or results that would have been achieved had the Business Combination closed as of June 30, 2024 or the future financial position or results that the post-Business Combination company will achieve. FIAC's or DevvStream's auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to any of the data included in the pro formas included in this Current Report and FIAC's or DevvStream's auditors do not express an opinion or any form of assurance with respect to the pro forma financial information included in this Current Report.

Disclaimer
This Current Report includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and generally relate to future events or FIAC’s or DevvStream’s future financial or other performance metrics. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. These forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, FIAC’s, DevvStream’s and the combined company’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination or certain transactions described in this Current Report (including, but not limited to, certain share issuances and transfers), the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination, the timing of the completion of the proposed Business Combination or the transactions described in this Current Report, are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by FIAC and its management, and DevvStream and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and subject to material change. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the proposed transaction; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against FIAC, DevvStream, the combined company or others; (3) the inability to complete the proposed transaction due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of FIAC and DevvStream or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the proposed transaction that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations; (5) the ability to meet Nasdaq’s or another stock exchange’s listing standards following the consummation of the proposed transaction; (6) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of FIAC or DevvStream as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed transaction; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the proposed transaction; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that FIAC, DevvStream or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) FIAC’s estimates of expenses and profitability and underlying assumptions with respect to stockholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; (12) various factors beyond management’s control, including general economic conditions and other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the definitive proxy statement and prospectus of FIAC related to the Business Combination, filed with the SEC on August 9, 2024, in the definitive proxy statement related to the Extension Amendment Proposal, filed with the SEC on October 24, 2024, and other filings with the SEC; and (13) certain other risks identified and discussed in DevvStream’s Annual Information Form for the year ended July 31, 2023, and DevvStream’s other public filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities, available on DevvStream’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca.
These forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and FIAC, DevvStream and the combined company believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and none of FIAC, DevvStream or the combined company is under any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports, which FIAC has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC and DevvStream’s public filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. This Current Report is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in FIAC or DevvStream and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in FIAC or DevvStream. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning FIAC and DevvStream, the proposed transaction or other matters and attributable to FIAC and DevvStream or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.
