Certain statements in this presentation may constitute "forward - looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27 A of the Securities Act of 1933 , Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 , each as amended .

Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," or other similar expressions may identify such forward - looking statements .

Neither RONI nor NET Power undertake any duty to update these forward - looking statements or the other information contained in this presentation . This presentation contains projected financial information with respect to the combined company, namely NET Power's projected EBITDA and enterprise value for future years . Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information and is for illustrative purposes only, and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results . The assumptions and estimates underlying such projected financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information . Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the projected financial information contained in this presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved . 2

![](ex99-1_003.jpg)

Disclaimer (2/2) Non - GAAP Financial Measures . The independent auditors of NET Power have not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation . Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") . EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization . NET Power believes these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to NET Power's financial condition and results of operations . NET Power believes that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends . NET Power's method of determining these non - GAAP measures may be different from other companies' methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and NET Power does not recommend the sole use of these non - GAAP measures to assess its financial performance . Management does not consider these non - GAAP measures in isolation 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 expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in NET Power's financial statements . In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures . In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non - GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results . NET Power is not providing a reconciliation of projected EBITDA for future years to the most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP because NET Power is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, the financial impact, and the periods in which the adjustments may be recognized . For the same reasons, NET Power is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results . No Representations or Warranties . Neither RONI nor NET Power makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of this document or any other information (whether written or oral) that has been or will be provided to you . Nothing contained herein or in any other oral or written information provided to you is, nor shall be relied upon as, a promise or representation of any kind by RONI or NET Power . Without limitation of the foregoing, RONI and NET Power expressly disclaim any representation regarding any projections concerning future operating results or any other forward - looking statement contained herein or that otherwise has been or will be provided to you . Neither RONI nor NET Power shall be liable to you or any prospective investor or any other person for any information contained herein or that otherwise has been or will be provided to you . Important Information about the Business Combination and Where to Find It . This presentation is being made in respect of the proposed business combination transaction involving RONI and NET Power . RONI has filed a registration statement on Form S - 4 (as may be amended from time to time, the "registration statement") with the U . S . Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 23 , 2022 , which includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and RONI may file other documents with the SEC regarding the proposed transaction . The information in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus is not complete and may be changed . After the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, a definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to the shareholders of RONI . Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of RONI are urged to carefully read the entire registration statement and definitive proxy statement/prospectus, when they become available, and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to these documents, because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction . The documents filed by RONI with the SEC may be obtained free of charge at the SEC's website at www . sec . gov . In addition, the documents filed by RONI may be obtained free of charge from RONI at www . ricespac . com/rac - ii . Participants in Solicitation .

An Innovative Technology to Decarbonize Natural Gas Power Generation NET Power's power plant transforms natural gas into clean, emission - free power NET Power Overview  Who we are: NET Power is a US - based clean energy technology company that has developed a gas - fired power plant that generates clean power with no emissions  Innovative Design: NET Power's patented technology employs oxy - combustion and utilizes super - critical CO 2 as the turbine's working fluid to efficiently produce clean, low - cost power and deliver a pure stream of CO 2 for sequestration or utilization  Proven technology: Demonstration plant in La Porte, TX (50 MWth) was commissioned in 2018 and has achieved over 1,500 operational hours and synchronized to the Texas grid in 2021  Preparing for global deployment: Agreement with Baker Hughes to design and manufacture key plant equipment; expect first deliveries in 2026 - 2027; standardized 300MWe design enables cost economies of scale and rapid deployment  Several projects in various stages of development, first 300MW plant expected online in 2026 - 2027  Positioning for long - term success: In December 2022, NET Power announced transaction to go public ; successful energy entrepreneur Danny Rice to become NET Power's CEO upon closing of transaction (expected Spring 2023) 9 (NPWR Cycle Inventor) (Power Expertise) (CO 2 Expertise) (Plant OEM & CO 2 chain expertise) Better pic - website NET Power's Demonstration Facility in La Porte, Texas Existing Strategic Shareholders ($143bn total EV) NET Power's Demonstration Facility in La Porte, Texas

Aging Baseload Power Plants Near CO 2 Storage = NET Power Opportunity 10 Approximately 500 GW of natural gas, coal and nuclear retirement candidates are within 40 miles of CO 2 storage U.S. Market Offers Favorable Characteristics CO 2 Storage and Baseload / Dispatchable Power Plants (4) U.S. Baseload Retirement Candidates Are Near CO 2 Storage (1)  ~750 GW of natural gas, coal and nuclear power generation are retirement candidates  Equivalent to ~2,400 NET Power plants (2)  ~65% of that capacity (~500 GW) is within 40 miles of CO 2 storage  1 NET Power plant can produce >800,000 tpa of CO 2 , which could support the build - out of a 40 - mile CO 2 pipeline  Fleet deployments of NET Power can support the build - out of longer CO 2 pipelines (100 miles+), increasing the total addressable market beyond 500 GW U.S. CO 2 Storage Expected to Expand Rapidly  Active Storage: 65 mmtpa is currently injected into oil reservoirs for EOR (3)  Equates to output of ~80 NET Power plants (2)  Most CO 2 is sourced geologically (the EOR industry drills wells)  Exploratory Storage: dozens of Class VI permits under review  Significant industry interest in additional EOR applications  Future Storage: substantial interest to open all candidate basins in US for CO 2 storage Active Storage Exploratory Storage Future Storage Dots indicate operating natural gas, coal and nuclear power plants 1.

NET Power Plants Dispatch at Far Lower Prices than NGCC 11 1. $85/tonne represents gross 45Q credit amount; $22/MWh is net of transportation and sequestration costs. 2. See slide 23 for key LCOE assumptions. 3. Assumes Gen 2 NPWR plant. Both NPWR and CCGT are variable costs shown using $3.50/MMBtu natural gas price. Overview NPWR vs. CCGT LCOE ($/MWh) (2) – Investment Decision  We expect NPWR plants to generate sufficient 45Q tax credits to offset nearly all natural gas fuel costs  $3.50/MMBtu Nat Gas cost = $22/MWh  $85/tonne 45Q Credit = $20/MWh (1)  This dynamic may allow NPWR plants to run at high - capacity factors (90%+) and will further drive down capacity factors of coal power plants and CCGTs  We expect this dynamic will lead to utility and industrial customers choosing NPWR over CCGT  NPWR's dispatchability enables it to complement renewables, and may lead to lower prices for consumers without sacrificing reliability $21 $39 $40 $52 $0 $20 $40 $60 NET Power Gen 2 Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) NPWR may dispatch at a lower price than CCGTs due to 45Q advantage NPWR vs. CCGT Cost Structure ($/MWh) (3) – Operating Decision NPWR CCGT

NET Power Cycle Overview NET Power uses natural gas and oxygen, produces power and captures CO 2 (Video Link) NET Power Cycle Overview NET Power Cycle Steps 14 1. "Gen 1" definition: Initial commercial utility - scale design, with risk optimized cycle parameters targeting 51.5% LHV efficiency. "Gen 2" definition: Already identified higher efficiency design targeting 60%+ LHV efficiency. 2. Assumes 92.5% capacity factor.  NET Power's platform uses a semi - closed loop cycle that inherently captures CO 2 and produces power  It does so by combining two processes: oxy - combustion , which produces CO 2 and H 2 O, with a CO 2 power cycle  The CO from oxy - combustion is recirculated back to the combus 2 tor and a portion (~820k tonnes per year for Gen 2) is exported for utilization or sequestration  1 Air Separation Unit separates oxygen from air  2 Natural gas and oxygen combine resulting in CO 2 and water vapor  3 The CO 2 mixture expands and turns the turboexpander to generate electricity  4 The CO 2 mixture goes into the heat exchanger to cool  5 Water is removed from the CO 2  6 CO 2 is repressurized, captured CO 2 is exported for sequestration or commercial use  7 Recirculated CO 2 is reheated to be used again in the process Natural Gas IN AIR SEPARATION UNIT TURBOEXPANDER 100% clean nitrogen argon CO 2 OUT High Pressure to Pipeline Water Out High Temp High Pressure Air In Lowest Temp & Pressure Water CO 2 High Temp Low Pressure Water CO 2 Highest Temp & Pressure Water CO 2 Low Temp Low Pressure CO 2 COMBUSTOR 2 3 4 HEAT EXCHANGER 5 7 6 COMPRESSOR PUMP WATER SEPARATOR CO 2 KEY OPERATIONAL STATISTICS (1) Feedstock: ~50 MMscfd natural gas Generation capacity: ~300 MWe CO 2 exported (2) : ~864k tonnes / year (Gen 1) ~820k tonnes / year (Gen 2) Lower Heating Value (LHV) efficiency: ~51.5% (Gen 1) 60%+ (Gen 2) Low Temp High Pressure Oxygen In 1

41% Combustion Turbine 18% Steam Cycle 59% LHV Efficiency 51% LHV Efficiency CCGT NET Power (Gen 1) Super - Critical" Thinking: Harnessing the Unique Powers of CO 2 Supercritical CO 2 can be found in every step of the NPWR process, from generating power to enabling more pore space capacity • When temperature and pressure are above its critical point (88F and 1070 psi), CO 2 exists as a supercritical fluid, where it exhibits properties of both a gas and liquid • Supercritical CO 2 ("SCO 2 ") has the density / solvent properties of a liquid but many of the transport properties of a gas • This rare combination of properties unlocks 3 unique benefits to NPWR and its customers: 1. Efficient carbon capture: SCO 2 working fluid generates efficient power with inherent carbon capture 2. High pressure & density: allows for smaller plant footprint and smaller pipelines from source to sink; More CO 2 can be safely and permanently stored underground 3. Better solvent: better solvent for utilization activities 43 SCO 2 is Working Fluid in Turbine (1) Pore Space Capacity (2)  Density factor of SCO 2 enables ~7x storage capacity at greater depths / pressures Other Benefits of SCO 2 (2)  A traditional combined cycle power plant utilizes air and steam as working fluids  SCO 2 is a superior working fluid, combining the best properties of liquid and gas  NET Power compensates for the incremental parasitic load of the ASU and compression \*Assumes 1,000' thick sandstone with 10% porosity and 180F formation temperature.  Deep pore space + SCO 2 + NPWR = gigaton - scale grid decarbonization  CO 2 Transport – as compared to natural gas pipeline rated for 1200 psi, pipeline rated for 2400 psi can transport ~4x the volume (40 MMcf/d  160 MMcf/d)  Enhanced oil recovery – SCO 2 is the most effective solvent to unlock trapped oil from producing oil reservoirs  In SCO 2 , oil becomes miscible which decreases its viscosity, enabling it to flow back to surface  Natural gas is commonly used as a solvent, but replacing natural gas with CO 2 is better for the reservoir and better for the environment PSI 1,000 2,000 5,000 7,000 MM tons, 10k Acres 156 440 948 1,055 NPWR Plants 6 18 39 43 Factor vs 1000 psi 1.0x 2.8x 6.1x 6.7x 1.

Risk Factors (1/3) Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital  We have incurred significant losses since inception and we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses in the future, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.  We may be unable to manage our future growth effectively, which could make it difficult to execute our business strategy.  Our ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.  There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and we may require additional future funding to continue as a going concern if the transactions contemplated herein are not completed . If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding on a timely basis and on acceptable terms and continue as a going concern, we may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of our research or development programs or the commercialization of any product candidates or to otherwise reduce or discontinue our operations . In general, we may be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on business opportunities, and defend against and prosecute litigation necessary to commercialize our product candidates as desired, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations . If we are ultimately unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to take actions such as selling assets, restructuring, or seeking bankruptcy protection, and our shareholders may lose all or a part of their investment .  Our business plan of developing our Serial Number 1 power plant technology is capital - intensive, and we may not be able to raise additional capital on attractive terms, if at all, which could be dilutive to shareholders . If we require additional capital and cannot raise additional capital when needed or on attractive terms, our operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected . Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry  We face significant barriers in our attempts to deploy our technology and may not be able to successfully develop our technology. If we cannot successfully overcome those barriers, it could adversely impact our business and operations.  The technology we are developing will rely on complex machinery for its operations and deployment involves a significant degree of risk and uncertainty in terms of operational performance and costs. If there are any delays in the development and manufacturing of turboexpanders, heat exchangers and other implementing technology by our partners or third party suppliers it may adversely impact our business and financial condition.  We, our licensees, or our partners may not be able to establish supply relationships for necessary components or may be required to pay costs for components that are higher than anticipated, which could delay the deployment of our technology and negatively impact our business.  Our deployment plans rely on the development and supply of turbo machinery and process equipment by BH pursuant to a joint development arrangement. BH or ourselves may not be able to commercialize technology developed under their joint development relationship. If BH fails to commercialize such equipment, or such equipment fails to perform as expected, our ability to develop, market, and license our technology could be harmed.  Our commercialization strategy relies heavily on our relationship with BH, OXY and other strategic investors and partners, who may have interests that diverge from ours and who may not be easily replaced if our relationships terminate, which could adversely impact our business and financial condition.  Our partners have not yet completed development of and finalized schedules for delivery of key process equipment to customers, and any setbacks we may experience during our first commercial delivery planned for 2026 and other demonstration and commercial missions could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operation, and could harm our reputation.  Lack of availability or increased costs of component raw materials may affect manufacturing processes for plant equipment and increase our overall costs or those of our licensees.  Our processes are reliant on certain supply, including natural gas, and the profitability of our processes will be dependent on the price of such supply. The increased cost of natural gas and other raw materials, in isolation or relative to other energy sources, may adversely affect the potential profitability and cost effectiveness of our processes.  Manufacturing and transportation of key equipment may be dependent on open global supply chains. Supply chain issues could negatively impact deployment schedules.  Suppliers of key equipment to our customers may not be able to scale to the production levels necessary to meet the anticipated growth in demand for our technology, which could negatively impact our business and financial plan.  Failure to ensure cost competitiveness by effectively incorporating updates to the design, construction, and operations of the NET Power Process plants could reduce the marketability of the NET Power Process plant design and may negatively impact deployment schedules.  Manufacturing and construction issues not identified prior to design finalization, long - lead procurement, and/or module fabrication could potentially be realized during production, fabrication, or construction and may impact plant deployment cost and schedule, which could adversely impact our business.  Our La Porte, Texas facilities and operations could be damaged or adversely affected as a result of natural disasters and other catastrophic events, which would negatively impact our ability to develop key process equipment and technologies within our anticipated timeline and budget.  Our test facility has not overcome all power loads so as to provide net positive power delivery to the commercial grid during its operation. If initial commercial plants using the NET Power Process are unable to efficiently provide a net power output to the commercial grid, it will negatively impact our business.  We may encounter difficulty in attracting licensees prior to the deployment of an initial full scale commercial plant. If we cannot successfully overcome the barriers to deploying a first full - scale plant, our business will be negatively impacted and could fail.  We expect a consortium led by NET Power to undertake the first commercial plant deployment (referred to as "Serial Number 1") to establish our technology. Such a deployment will require a significant capital expenditure and depending on availability of capital, including grants, could require a substantial capital investment from us and our partners. If we cannot establish a first commercial scale plant, our business could fail.  Our future growth and success depend on our ability to license to customers and their ability to secure suitable sites. We have not yet entered into a binding contract with a customer to license the NET Power Process, and we may not be able to do so.  We may not be able to accurately estimate the future demand for our technology, which could result in a variety of inefficiencies in our business and hinder our ability to generate revenue. If we fail to accurately predict market demand, we could incur additional costs or experience delays, adversely impacting our business and financial condition.  We are highly dependent on our senior management team, key employees and other highly skilled personnel, and if we are not successful in attracting or retaining highly qualified personnel, we may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy and our ability to compete may be harmed.  From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings and commercial, contractual or intellectual property disputes, which could have an adverse impact on our profitability and consolidated financial position.  We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity. 50

Risk Factors (2/3)  Despite implementing and maintaining industry standard security measures and controls, the website, systems, and data we maintain may be subject to intentional disruption, other security incidents, or alleged violations of laws, regulations, or other obligations relating to data handling that could result in liability and adversely impact our reputation and future sales.  Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect from all business risks, adversely impacting our business and financial condition.  COVID - 19 and any future widespread public health crisis could negatively affect various aspects of our business, make it more difficult for us to meet our obligations to our customers and result in reduced demand for our products and services.  Any financial or economic crisis, or perceived threat of such a crisis, including a significant decrease in consumer confidence, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.  Our commercialization strategy relies heavily on our contractual relationship with BH . Pursuant to a joint development arrangement with BH, BH may terminate this arrangement in the event of a change of control . A change of control under this arrangement may occur in the future . Additionally, certain arrangements that we have with BH allow for the termination of the particular agreement by BH as a result of circumstances that are either solely or partially under the control of BH . We may not be able to replace this strategic partnership if our relationships terminate, which could adversely impact our business and financial condition .  We, and our licensees and partners, may be unable to adequately control the costs associated with the development and deployment of our technology . Risks Related to NET Power's Market  The energy market continues to evolve, is highly competitive, and we may not be successful in competing in this industry or establishing and maintaining confidence in our long - term business prospects among current and future partners and customers. The development and adoption of competing technology could materially and adversely affect our ability to license our technology.  The market for power plants implementing the NET Power Process is not yet established and there is limited infrastructure to efficiently transport and store CO 2 . If the market for power plants implementing the NET Power Process does not achieve the growth potential we expect or grows more slowly than expected, it could materially and adversely affect our business.  The cost of electricity generated from NET Power Process may not be cost competitive with other electricity generation sources in some markets, which could materially and adversely affect our business. Risks Related to the Business Combination  In 2022 , there has been a precipitous drop in the market values of growth - oriented companies like NET Power . In recent months, inflationary pressures, increases in interest rates and other adverse economic and market forces have contributed to these drops in market value . Such downward pressures may result in high redemptions by SPAC shareholders . If there are substantial redemptions, there will be a lower float of our common stock outstanding after the business combination, which may cause further volatility in the price of our securities after the business combination and adversely impact our ability to secure financing following the closing of the business combination .  As with most SPAC initial public offerings in recent years, RONI issued shares for $10 . 00 per share upon the closing of its initial public offering . As with other SPACs, the $10 . 00 per share price reflected each share having a one - time right to redeem such share for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in the trust account equal to approximately $10 . 00 per share in connection with the closing of the business combination . Following closing of the business combination, the shares outstanding will no longer have any such redemption right and will be solely dependent upon the fundamental value of the combined company, which, like the securities of other companies formed through SPAC mergers in recent years, may be significantly less than $10 . 00 per share . Risks Related to Government Regulation  Our business relies on the deployment of power plants that are subject to a wide variety of extensive and evolving government laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations. Changes in and/or failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business.  Our customers must obtain regulatory approvals and permits before they construct power plants using our technology and approvals may be denied or delayed.  Unfavorable changes in laws, regulations, and policies in countries in which we seek to license our technology, or our, or our partners or project developers', failures to secure timely government authorizations under laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  Changes in laws and regulations and electric market rules and protocols regarding the requirements for interconnection to the electric transmission grid and the commercial operation of our customers' power generation projects could affect the cost, timing and economic results of conducting our operations.  We, and our potential licensees, may encounter substantial delays in the design, manufacture, regulatory approval, and launch of power plants, which could prevent us and our licensees from commercializing and deploying our technology on a timely basis, if at all.  Our customers are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations to include, if applicable, remediation matters which could adversely affect our business, results of operation and reputation.  We and our customers operate in a politically sensitive environment, and the public perception of fossil fuel derived energy can affect our customers and us. Our future growth and success are dependent upon consumers' willingness to develop natural gas - fueled power generation facilities.  The demand for our business may be curtailed by government or prospective licensees failing to consider hydrocarbon - based power as "clean," even when paired with energy transition technology such as carbon capture, use, storage and sequestration, thereby reducing our expected growth.  We are subject to increasing regulatory scrutiny and potential enforcement regarding the energy transition, to include deployment of low - emissions technology and claims we or our licensees may make regarding the same, which could adversely affect our business, reputation, and operations.  The ability to license and deploy natural gas power plants may be limited due to conflict, war, or other political disagreements between gas producing nations and potential customers, which may adversely impact our business plan.  We are, or will be, subject to anti - corruption, anti - bribery, anti - money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws, and non - compliance with such laws can subject us to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.  Changes in tax laws, incentives, or regulations may increase tax uncertainty and adversely affect results of our operations and our effective tax rate.  Any potential changes or reductions in available government incentives promoting greenhouse gas emissions projects, such as the Inflation Reduction Act's financial assistance program funding installation of zero - emission technology, may adversely affect our ability to grow our business. 51

Risk Factors (3/3) 52 Risks Related to Intellectual Property  We are developing NET Power - owned intellectual property, but we rely heavily on the intellectual property we have in - licensed which is core to the NET Power Process. The ability to protect these patents, patent applications and other proprietary rights may be challenged or may be faced with our inability or failure to obtain, maintain, protect, defend and enforce, exposing us to possible material adverse impacts on our business, competitive position and operating results.  We may lose our rights to some or all of the core intellectual property that is in - licensed by way of either the licensor not paying renewal fees or maintenance fees, or third parties challenging the validity of the intellectual property, thereby resulting in competitors easily entering into the same market and decreasing the revenue that we receive from our customers, and may adversely affect our ability to develop, market and license our technology.  We, and our partners, licensees, and critical equipment suppliers may need to defend ourselves against intellectual property infringement claims which may negatively impact market demand for our process licenses. Further, defending against intellectual property claims can be time - consuming, incur substantial financial costs, and divert our resources away from our business efforts, regardless of the outcome of these claims.  Third parties may successfully challenge or invalidate our rights or ability to use in - licensed intellectual property that is core to the NET Power Process.  The unauthorized infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our services, brands or goodwill and cause a decline in our revenue.  Our patent applications may not result in issued patents and our patent rights may be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from interfering with commercialization of our technology.  We maintain certain technology as trade secret and others could independently develop competing or similar technologies, allowing others to develop plants without our license if our other intellectual property rights are insufficient to prevent such unlicensed development and deployment of plants.  A number of foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States . Therefore, our intellectual property rights may not be as strong or as easily enforced outside of the United States and efforts to protect against the infringement, misappropriation or unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, technology and other proprietary rights may be difficult and costly outside of the United States . Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain and any changes in, or unexpected interpretations of, intellectual property laws may compromise our ability to enforce our patent rights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights .  Despite conducting competitive analyses, we, or our partners or licensees, may not identify relevant third - party patents or may incorrectly interpret the relevance, scope or expiration of a third - party patent, which may adversely affect our ability to develop, market and license our technology.  We may be subject to claims of ownership and other rights to our patents and other intellectual property by third parties, which may adversely affect our ability to develop, market and license our technology.  The information technology systems and data that we maintain may be subject to intentional or inadvertent disruption, other security incidents, or alleged violations of laws, regulations or other obligations relating to data handling that could result in regulatory investigations or actions, litigation, fines and penalties, disruptions of our business operations, reputational harm, loss of revenue or profits, loss of customers or sales and other adverse business consequences.
