 competing technologies emerge.

The capital raised from
the Business Combination will provide RWT with some of the funding necessary to drive growth both organically and inorganically. We plan
to acquire and/or license adjacent technologies and add them to the product portfolio of RWT. We intend to implement best practices for
structuring compensation to help retain all key technical and client-facing talent.

We anticipate that being
the first publicly traded rainfall generation firm can facilitate growth in client momentum, due to the enhanced visibility and higher
caliber of employees RWT can attract with liquid equity instruments. RWT expects that having an acquisition currency will also allow it
to outcompete private competitor companies in terms of inorganic growth opportunities.

Holdco’s listing
on Nasdaq is a considerable advantage over smaller private companies in the water technology sphere. RWT also aims to retain the advantages
of a nimbler startup over long-established industrial players. Moving quickly to capitalize on innovations and unlock new client demand
is expected to be a hallmark of RWT’s approach given its team’s track record.

RWT has begun operations
with a clear eye on value engineering, manufacturing scale and optimizations, as well as a world class software and machine learning team.
RWT is currently negotiating a near-shore supply chain to minimize lead time and shorten turnaround times for new innovation, and it intends
to have R&D and manufacturing all in the same building.

While the current iteration
of the rain enhancement systems that RWT initially plans to install will not require additional R&D, as they have been proven to work
in third-party trials, RWT intends to invest in significant research and development in order to commercialize and scale the technology.
In particular, the current systems require local support personnel to operate the devices, and require manual reading of rain gauges and
manual analysis of the statistics derived from the weather data. Accordingly, in order to scale and commercialize the business, RWT plans
to engage in R&D to automate these functions, as well as to develop and adopt new ways of delivering the ionization aerosols from
the systems to allow the technology to be deployed in the widest possible field conditions. For more information on the steps, technological
developments and improvements that RWT will need to make to the rain enhancement technology in order to bring advancements to the systems
to market, please see “RWT Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”,
