Forward Looking Statements Certain statements included in this Presentation are not historical facts but are forward - looking statements for purposes of the 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 or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward - looking. These forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other f inancial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identi f ied in this Presentation, and on the current expectations of Manscaped’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward - looking statements are provided for illustrative 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 de f initive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are dif f icult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Manscaped. Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward - looking statements could include changes in domestic and foreign business, market, f inancial, political and legal conditions. These forward - looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company; failure to realize the anticipated bene f its of the Business Combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected f inancial information with respect to Manscaped; reductions in discretionary consumer spending, including as a result of global and regional economic downturns; risks relating to relationships with retail customers, retailers and distributors, and the use of third - party manufacturers; damage to Manscaped’s brand reputation; the failure of Manscaped to maintain and grow its business; and disruption of Manscaped’s relationships with its customers, suppliers, business partners and others resulting from the announcement of the Business Combination. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward - looking statements. 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 Bright Lights’ Annual Reports on Form 10 - K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q, the registration statement on Form S - 4 discussed below and other documents f iled by Bright Lights from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). There may be additional risks that neither Bright Lights nor Manscaped presently know or that Bright Lights and Manscaped currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward - looking statements. In addition, forward - looking statements re f lect Bright Lights’ and Manscaped’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. Bright Lights and Manscaped anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Bright Lights’ and Manscaped’s assessments to change. However, while Bright Lights and Manscaped may elect to update these forward - looking statements at some point in the future, Bright Lights and Manscaped speci f ically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward - looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Bright Lights’ and Manscaped’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 Data The information, data and statistics contained herein are derived from various internal (including data that Manscaped has internally collected) and external third party sources. No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any projections or modeling or any other information contained herein. Any information, data or statistics on past performance or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance. Bright Lights and Manscaped assume no obligation to update the information in this presentation. Trademarks Bright Lights and Manscaped own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses. This presentation may also contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of third - parties, which are the property of their respective owners. The use or display of third - parties’ trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this presentation is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with Bright Lights or Manscaped, or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of Bright Lights or Manscaped. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this presentation may appear without the TM, SM, ® or © symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate in any way that Bright Lights or Manscaped will not assert to the fullest extent under applicable law their respective rights or the rights of the applicable licensor(s) to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights. 3

 

 

Use of Projections The projections, estimates and targets in this Presentation are forward - looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to signi f icant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Bright Lights’ and Manscaped’s control. While all projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, Bright Lights and Manscaped believe that the preparation of prospective f inancial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of signi f icant business, economic, regulatory and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such projections, estimates and targets. The inclusion of projections, estimates and targets in this Presentation should not be regarded as an indication that Bright Lights and Manscaped, or their respective representatives, considered or consider the f inancial projections, estimates and targets to be a reliable prediction of future events. Financial Information; Non - GAAP Financial Measures The f inancial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement or registration statement to be f iled by Bright Lights or Manscaped with the SEC. Some of the f inancial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non - GAAP measures, and other measures that are calculated using such non - GAAP measures, are an addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of f inancial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Bright Lights and Manscaped believe these non - GAAP measures of f inancial results, including on a forward - looking basis, provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain f inancial and business trends relating to Manscaped’s f inancial condition and results of operations. Manscaped’s management uses these non - GAAP measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Bright Lights and Manscaped believe that the use of these non - GAAP f inancial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Manscaped’s f inancial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP f inancial measures to investors. The management of Bright Lights does not consider these non - GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to f inancial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non - GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non - GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their f inancial performance, and therefore Manscaped’s non - GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly - titled measures of other companies. See the footnotes on the slides where these measures are discussed and the Appendix for de f initions of these non - GAAP f inancial measures and reconciliations of these non - GAAP f inancial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Important Information for Investors and Stockholders Bright Lights and Manscaped and their respective directors and executive of f icers, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of Bright Lights’ shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the Business Combination of Bright Lights’ directors and of f icers in Bright Lights’ f ilings with the SEC, including Bright Lights’ Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the f iscal year ended December 31, 2020 f iled with the SEC on March 31, 2021. To the extent that holdings of Bright Lights’ securities have changed from the amounts reported in Bright Lights’ Annual Report on Form 10 - K, such changes have been or will be re f lected on Statements of Changes in Bene f icial Ownership on Form 4 f iled with the SEC. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to Bright Lights’ shareholders in connection with the Business Combination will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus f iled as part of the Registration Statement on Form S - 4 for the Business Combination, which is expected to be f iled by Bright Lights with the SEC. This Presentation is not a substitute for any registration statement or for any other document that Bright Lights or Manscaped may f ile with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of other documents f iled with the SEC by Bright Lights through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Lawn Mower Wow! This works so well and doesn’t nick or cut any sensitive bits at all. I’ve never seen a razor cut through hair so easily, it cuts through thick hair, long hair, short hairs, all hairs, like a lawnmower! Weed Whacker Great hair trimmer - for nose or ear hair. Quiet and effective. Would highly recommend. Same sleek look as the other Manscaped products. Crop Preserver I didn't know what I was missing. I was contemplating whether or not to get the subscription so its only $10 a month. But I think I might. THIS S T UFF IS A W E S OME!

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “us” or the “Company” prior to consummation of the business combination (the “Business Combination”) refer to Manscaped Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries, and following the consummation of the Business Combination described herein, refer to the combined entities of Manscaped Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries and Bright Lights Acquisition Corp. (“Bright Lights”). We have identi f ied the following risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse effect on our business, f inancial condition, results of operations or reputation. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material may also signi f icantly affect our business, f inancial condition, results of operations or reputation. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. In making your decision to invest in the Company, you have relied solely upon independent investigation made by you. You acknowledge that you are not relying upon, and have not relied upon, any of the following summary of risks or any other statement, representation or warranty made by any person, f irm or corporation, other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Company explicitly contained in any subscription agreement you enter into in connection with an investment in the Company (an “Investment”) or any Investor Presentation prepared in connection with such Investment. You have such knowledge and experience in f inancial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an Investment in the Company, and you have sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as you have considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The list below is quali f ied in its entirety by disclosures contained in future documents f iled or furnished by the Company, or by third parties, including Bright Lights, with respect to the Company, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the documents f iled or furnished in connection with the proposed transactions between the Company and Bright Lights. All information provided in this summary of risks is as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no duty to update this information except as required by law. The risks presented in such f ilings will be consistent with those that would be required for a public company in its SEC f ilings, including with respect to the business and securities of the Company and Bright Lights and the proposed transactions between the Company and Bright Lights, and may differ signi f icantly from, and be more extensive than, those presented below. Risks Related to the Company’s Business and Industry The COVID - 19 pandemic has had and may continue to have, and other public health crises or epidemics could in the future have, a material adverse impact on our business, operations, f inancial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Reductions in discretionary consumer spending, including as a result of global and regional economic downturns, could have an adverse effect on our business, f inancial condition and results of operations. If we do not effectively maintain and further develop our relationships with retail customers and distributors, our business, f inancial condition and results of operations could be harmed. If our retailers and distributors fail to promote our products and services actively and effectively, or if they implement operational decisions that are inconsistent with our interests, our future growth and results of operations may suffer. We were dependent on one retailer for approximately 83 % of our retail sales in 2020 . If our relationship with that particular retailer is harmed, it could have an adverse effect on our business, f inancial condition and results of operations . We depend upon third - party manufacturers, and if our relationship with any of them is harmed or if they encounter dif f iculties in their manufacturing processes, we could experience product defects, production delays, unplanned costs or higher product costs, or the inability to ful f ill orders on a timely basis, any of which could adversely affect our business, f inancial condition and results of operations. Damage to our brand reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, f inancial condition and results of operations. We have limited operating results and our operating results may f luctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year due to the seasonality of our business and the timing of new product releases. We are subject to risks from unanticipated business disruptions. Our success is critically dependent on the efforts and dedication of our of f icers and other employees, and the loss of one or more key employees, or our inability to attract and retain quali f ied personnel could adversely affect our business. A failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to privacy and the protection of data, both domestic and international, relating to individuals and certain audiences may result in negative publicity, claims, investigations and litigation, and adversely affect our f inancial performance. We could be subject to future product liability suits or product recalls which could have a signi f icant adverse effect on our business, f inancial condition and results of operations. Our success and ability to maintain and grow our business depend on our ability to execute our business strategy, along with a number of factors which are outside of our control. We cannot assure you that we will be able to design and develop products that will be popular with consumers, or that we will be able to maintain the popularity of successful products. A sustained decline in demand for our products could adversely impact our business, f inancial condition and results of operations. Our industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid changes, including technological changes, which may materially and adversely affect our revenues and pro f itability. If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors, our sales, market share and pro f itability could decline. Our businesses are subject to risks associated with doing business outside of the United States. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Failure to adequately protect the con f identiality of our trade secrets, know - how, proprietary applications, business processes and other proprietary information could adversely affect the value of our technology and products. Our indebtedness could adversely affect our f inancial health and competitive position. Our strategy to grow international sales may also increase our marketing spend. Our failure to obtain new consumers or manage unique challenges in new international markets could have an adverse effect on our business, f inancial condition, results of operations and prospects. 61

 

 

Risks Related to the Business Combination and Bright Lights Bright Lights’ sponsor and each director and of f icer of Bright Lights have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Bright Lights’ public stockholders vote. Bright Lights’ board has not obtained and does not currently intend to obtain a third - party valuation or f inancial opinion in determining whether to proceed with the Business Combination . Since the sponsor of Bright Lights and each of the directors and executive of f icers of Bright Lights have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may con f lict with), the interests of its stockholders, a con f lict of interest may exist in determining whether the Business Combination with the Company is appropriate. Such interests include that such persons will lose their entire investment if the Business Combination is not completed. We and Bright Lights will incur signi f icant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination. The announcement of the proposed Business Combination could disrupt the Company’s relationships with its customers, suppliers, business partners and others, as well as its operating results and business generally . Bright Lights’ sponsor may elect to purchase shares or warrants from public stockholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may in f luence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “ f loat” of its securities. Future resales of common stock after the consummation of the Business Combination may cause the market price of the Company’s securities to drop signi f icantly, even if the Company’s business is doing well. Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes - Oxley Act may make it more dif f icult for the parties to effectuate the Business Combination, require substantial f inancial and management resources and increase the time and costs of completing a Business Combination. The public stockholders of Bright Lights will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of (i) the issuance of common stock as consideration in the Business Combination, (ii) the private placement and (iii) due to future issuances pursuant to the Company’s equity plan(s). The ability of Bright Lights’ stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of outstanding Bright Lights Class A common stock could increase the probability that the Business Combination will not occur. The Business Combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satis f ied on a timely basis, if at all. Current Bright Lights stockholders will own a smaller proportion of the post - closing company than they currently own. In addition, following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company may issue additional shares or other equity securities without the approval of its stockholders, which would further dilute their ownership interests and may depress the market price of its shares. Legal proceedings in connection with the Business Combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the completion of the Business Combination. Nasdaq may not list the Company’s securities on its exchange, and the Company may not be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in the Company’s securities and subject it to additional trading restrictions. Risks Related to the Company Following the Business Combination The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract our management, which could make it dif f icult to manage our business. We will incur increased costs and obligations because of being a public company. Our management team has limited experience managing a public company. Upon completion of the Business Combination, we may be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq, and, as a result, we may qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If we do qualify for and rely on these exemptions, you will not have the same protections as those afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such governance requirements. If the Business Combination’s bene f its do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of Bright Lights’ securities or, following the closing, the Company’s securities, may decline. The warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of the warrants could have a material effect on the Company’s f inancial results. If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over f inancial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our f inancial results or report them in a timely manner . Additional Risks Related to Ownership of the Company’s Common Stock Following the Business Combination The price of the Company’s common stock and warrants may be volatile. The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The obligations associated with being a public company will involve signi f icant expenses and will require signi f icant resources and management attention, which may divert from the Company’s business operations. We are currently an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and to the extent we have taken advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more dif f icult to compare our performance with other public companies. Provisions in our certi f icate of incorporation and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock and could entrench management . Our amended and restated certi f icate of incorporation will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, of f icers, employees or stockholders. We may issue additional common stock or other equity securities without your approval, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of our common stock. Our ability to meet expectations and projections in any research or reports published by securities or industry analysts, or a lack of coverage by securities or industry analysts, could result in a depressed market price and limited liquidity for our common stock. The Company may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention from business operations. Risks Related to the Private Placement Our f inancial information provided to private placement investors is unaudited, does not conform to Regulation S - X or PCAOB standards and includes estimates of certain f inancial metrics adjusted to re f lect PCAOB standards, and such information may not be included, may be adjusted or may be presented differently in f ilings made with the SEC. 62
