**Forward-Looking Statements**

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. BPGC's, Holdco's and/or iRocket's actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical facts. No representations or warranties, express or implied are given in, or in respect of, this Current Report on Form 8-K. When we use words such as "may," "will," "intend," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "project," "estimate" or similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters, it is making forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements and 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 the agreement with SpaceBelt KSA or a failure of SpaceBelt KSA to fulfill its obligations under the agreement; (2) iRocket's future ability to provide launch services and recognize revenue under the agreement with SpaceBelt KSA; (3) iRocket's ability to perform the agreement with SpaceBelt KSA in a cost-effective manner; (4) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement with respect to the Proposed Transaction, (5) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction and definitive agreements with respect thereto; (6) the inability to complete the Proposed Transaction, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of iRocket and BPGC or other conditions to closing; (7) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of Holdco's shares on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange following the Proposed Transaction; (8) the ability of BPGC to become current in its SEC filings; (9) the risk that the Proposed Transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Proposed Transaction; (10) 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 and retain its key employees; (11) costs related to the Proposed Transaction; (12) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (13) the inability of iRocket or Holdco to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Proposed Transaction; (14) the risk that additional financing in connection with the Proposed Transaction, or additional capital needed following the Proposed Transaction to support iRocket's or Holdco's business or operations, may not be raised on favorable terms or at all; (15) the risk that iRocket's signed letters of intent and memorandum of understandings may not result in definitive agreements or generate revenue; and (16) other risks and uncertainties included in documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Holdco, iRocket and/or BPGC.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Registration Statement referenced above when available and other documents filed by Holdco, iRocket and BPGC from time to time with the SEC. These filings will identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. There may be additional risks that none of BPGC, Holdco or iRocket presently know, or that BPGC, Holdco, and/or iRocket currently believe are immaterial, that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. For these reasons, among others, investors and other interested persons are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Past performance by iRocket's or BPGC'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 iRocket's or BPGC's management teams or businesses associated with them as indicative of future performance of an investment or the returns that Holdco, iRocket or BPGC will, or are likely to, generate going forward. None of BPGC, Holdco or iRocket undertakes any obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this communication, except as required by applicable law.
