Such statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on management’s belief or interpretation of information currently available . Because forward - looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions, whether or not identified in this Presentation, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of SPAC's or FaZe's control . Actual results and condition (financial or otherwise) may differ materially from those indicated in the forward - looking statements .

Disclai m er (cont.) There may be additional risks that SPAC and FaZe do not presently know or that they 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 reflect SPAC's and FaZe's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation . Accordingly, recipients should not place undue reliance upon any such forward - looking statements in this Presentation . Subsequent events and developments may cause SPAC's and FaZe's assessments to change . While SPAC and FaZe may elect to update these forward - looking statements at some point in the future, none of SPAC, FaZe nor any of their affiliates have any obligation to update this Presentation and SPAC and FaZe specifically disclaim any obligation to do so . These forward - looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability . Additional Information and Where to Find it : In connection with the Proposed Transaction, BRPM is expected to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S - 4 containing a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Proposed Transaction (the "Proxy Statement/Registration Statement"), and after the registration statement is declared effective, will mail the proxy statement included therein to holders of BRPM's ordinary shares in connection with BRPM's solicitation of proxies for the vote by the BRPM stockholders with respect to the Proposed Transaction and other matters as described in the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement . BRPM urges its stockholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement and amendments thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, as well as other documents filed with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Transaction, as these materials will contain important information about BRPM, FaZe and the Proposed Transaction . When available, the definitive proxy statement included in the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement will be mailed to BRPM's stockholders . Stockholders of BRPM will also be able to obtain copies of such documents, without charge, once available, at the SEC's website at www . sec . gov, or by directing a request to : B . Riley Principal 150 Merger Corp, 299 Park Avenue 21 st Floor, New York, New York 10171 . Investors and security holders of SPAC and FaZe are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents that will be filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety when they become available because they will contain important information about the Proposed Transaction . Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and other documents containing important information about SPAC and FaZe through the website maintained by the SEC at www . sec . gov . No Representation or Warranty This Presentation is for informational purposes only and does not purport to contain all of the information that may be required to evaluate a possible investment decision with respect to the Proposed Transaction . The recipient agrees and acknowledges that this Presentation is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision by the recipient and does not constitute investment, tax or legal advice . No representation or warranty, express or implied, is or will be given by the SPAC or FaZe or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees or advisers or any other person as to the accuracy or completeness of the information in this Presentation or any other written, oral or other communications transmitted or otherwise made available to any party in the course of its evaluation of the Proposed Transaction and no responsibility or liability whatsoever is accepted for the accuracy or sufficiency thereof or for any errors, omissions or misstatements, negligent or otherwise, relating thereto . The recipient also acknowledges and agrees that the information contained in this Presentation is preliminary in nature and is subject to change, and any such changes may be material . SPAC and FaZe disclaim any duty to update the information contained in this Presentation . No Offer or Solicitation ; Private Placement This Presentation is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Proposed Transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of BRPM or FaZe nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction . The securities to which this Presentation relates have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction . This presentation relates to securities that the Company would intend to offer in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws . These exemptions apply to offers and sales of securities that do not involve a public offering . The securities have not been approved or recommended by any federal, state or foreign securities authorities, nor have any of these authorities passed upon the merits of this offering or determined that this Presentation is accurate or complete . Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense . 3

 

 

Disclai m er (cont.) For the avoidance of doubt, none of the SEC nor any securities commission or similar regulatory agency of any other U . S . or non - U . S . jurisdiction has reviewed, evaluated, approved or disapproved of the Proposed Transaction, including the proposed business combination presented herein or the securities, or determined that this Presentation is truthful or complete . To the fullest extent permitted by law in no circumstances will SPAC, FaZe or any of their respective subsidiaries, equity holders, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives, advisers or agents be responsible or liable for a direct, indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit arising from the use of this Presentation, its contents, its omissions, reliance on the information contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation thereto or otherwise arising in connection therewith . Participants in Solicitation BRPM and its directors and executive officers, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of BRPM's stockholders in connection with the Proposed Transaction . Stockholders of BRPM may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of BRPM's directors and executive officers in BRPM's Form S - 1 and in the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement when available . Information concerning the interests of BRPM's participants in the solicitation, which may, in some cases, be different than those of BRPM's stockholders generally, will be set forth in the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement when it becomes available . Statement Regarding Non - GAAP Financial measures The financial information and data contained this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X promulgated by the SEC . Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in, or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement, prospectus or other report or document to be filed or furnished by BRPM, FaZe, any successor entity, or any entity that is party to the Proposed Transaction with the SEC . Certain financial measures in this Presentation are not calculated pursuant to U . S . generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") . These non GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP . There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non - GAAP financial measures as compared to their nearest GAAP equivalents . For example, other companies may calculate non - GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of the non - GAAP financial measures herein as tools for comparison . You should review FaZe’s audited financial statements, which will be presented in the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Transaction, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate FaZe’s business . Use of Projections This Presentation also contains certain financial forecasts, including projected annual revenue, gross profit and EBITDA . FaZe’s independent auditors have not studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, no independent auditor has expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation . These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results . The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information . Projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside of SPAC's FaZe's control . While all financial projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, SPAC and FaZe believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation . Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of future performance or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information . Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved . Industry and Market Data Although all information and opinions expressed in this Presentation, including market data and other statistical information, were obtained from sources believed to be reliable and are included in good faith, FaZe and BRPM have not independently verified the information and make no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to its accuracy or completeness . Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of FaZe and BRPM, which are derived from their respective reviews of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above . 4

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 BRPM or FaZe, or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of BRPM or FaZe .

25 Risk Factors The risks presented below are certain of the general risks related to Faze Clan Inc. (“ the Company ” or “ FaZe ”), B. Riley Principal 150 Merger Corp. (the “ SPAC ”) and the proposed business combination between FaZe and the SPAC (the “ Business Combination ”) and such list is not exhaustive. The list below has been prepared solely for purposes of the private placement transaction (the “ Private Placement ”), and solely for potential Private Placement investors, and not for any other purpose. You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties, and should carry out your own diligence and consult with your own financial and legal advisors concerning the risks and suitability of an investment in the Private Placement before making an investment decision. Risks relating to the business of FaZe will be disclosed in future documents filed or furnished by FaZe and the SPAC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”), including the documents filed or furnished in connection with the Business Combination. The risks presented in such filings will be consistent with those that would be required for a public company in its SEC filings, including with respect to the business and securities of FaZe and the SPAC and the Business Combination, and may differ significantly from, and be more extensive than, those presented below. All references below to “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of FaZe. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur operating losses and may not establish and maintain profitability in the future . Our business depends on the strength of our brand, and if we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, we may be unable to sell our products or services, consumer engagement may decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations . Our business depends on our ability to strengthen our strong community of brand partners, engaged consumers, content creators influencers and Esports athletes and teams . We may not be able to maintain and enhance our existing brand community if we receive complaints, negative publicity or otherwise fail to live up to consumers’ expectations, which could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and growth prospects . A limited number of Esports professionals, influencers and content creators historically have accounted for a substantial portion of our revenue . If these Esports professionals, influencers and content creators were to become less popular and we are unable to identify and acquire suitable replacements, our business and prospects could suffer . Competition within the broader entertainment industry is intense and our existing and potential consumers may be attracted to competing forms of entertainment such as television, movies and sporting events, as well as other entertainment and gaming options on the Internet . If our Esports professionals, influencers and content creators do not maintain or increase their popularity, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be materially adversely affected . Misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment and retail consumer products could negatively impact demand for our entertainment offerings and products our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be materially adversely affected . We primarily rely, and expect to continue to primarily rely, on third - party platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and Twitch to deliver our content offerings to followers and potential viewers and any failure, disruption of or interference with our use of such streaming services could disrupt the availability of our content and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects . Ris k s Rela t ed t o F a Z e ’ s B u si n ess, I n d u s t ry, F i n a n cial C o n d i t i o n s, a n d Res u l t s o f O p era t i o n s We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third - party platform and game developers to maintain and periodically update the platforms and games our Esports professionals compete on as well as the platforms and games used by our influencers and content creators . If these developers do not meet product development schedules or otherwise maintain their products, our business may be adversely affected . Significant disruption during live events that we participate in may adversely affect our business, such as power and internet outages or other interruptions . We focus our business on our Esports professionals, influencers and content creators and consumers, and acting in their interests in the long - term may conflict with the short - term expectations of investors . Negative events or negative media coverage relating to, or a declining popularity of, gaming in particular, or other negative coverage of our brand, or third parties with whom we are affiliated with, may adversely impact our ability to retain existing consumers of our entertainment offerings or attract new consumers, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects . Some content creators or other persons associated with us may make unauthorized, fraudulent, or illegal use of games on third - party platforms, including through unauthorized third - party websites or “cheating” programs, which may negatively impact our brand and adversely affect our business . Use of social media and influencers may materially and adversely affect our reputation or brand and may subject us to fines or other penalties . As laws and regulations rapidly evolve to govern the use of these platforms and devices, failure to abide by applicable laws and regulations in the use of these platforms and devices or otherwise could subject us to regulatory investigations, class action lawsuits, liability, fines or other penalties . In addition, an increase in the use of social media for marketing may cause an increase in our burden to monitor compliance of such materials, and increase the risk that such materials could contain problematic product or marketing claims in violation of applicable regulations . We rely on certain assumptions and estimates in calculating our key metrics, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business . Our industry is subject to rapid technological change, and if we do not adapt to, and appropriately allocate our resources among, emerging technologies and business models, our business may be negatively impacted .

 

 

26 Risk Factors (Cont.) We depend in part on internet search engines to direct traffic and refer new consumers to us . If search engines’ methodologies and policies are modified or enforced in ways we do not anticipate, or if our search results page rankings decline for other reasons, traffic to our website, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and Twitch, as well as overall retention or engagement could decline, which could have a significant negative impact on our business and results of operations . If we are unable to compete effectively for advertisers and sponsors, our business, revenue and financial results could be negatively affected . We must effectively operate with mobile operating systems, web browsers, social media applications, networks, regulations and standards, which we do not control . Changes in our content offerings on or other changes to such mobile operating systems, web browsers, social media applications, networks, applicable laws regulations and standards may negatively impact our business . We rely on software, technologies and related services from other parties, and problems in their use or access could increase our costs and harm our business, revenue and financial results . The importance of retail sales to our business exposes us to the risks of that business model, including negative economic conditions affecting the purchases of discretionary items, supply chain and other distribution issues or disruptions, fluctuations in sales and the volatility of consumer preferences . Our business may be harmed if our Esports professionals, influencers and content creators , or other third parties with whom we are affiliated with and rely upon, act in ways that put our brand at risk . If we are unable to maintain, train and build effective domestic and international sales and marketing infrastructure, we will not be able to commercialize and grow our brand successfully . If we are unable to renew or replace key commercial agreements on similar or better terms, or attract new sponsors, our business, revenue and financial results could be negatively affected . Negotiation and pricing of key media contracts are outside our control and those contracts may change in the future . The effect of uncertainties related to the global COVID - 19 pandemic on U . S . and global economies, including delays as to live events returning, has in the past and could in the future continue to impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition . Esports competitions cannot be relied upon as a consistent source of income, as our source of income does not materially come directly through the performance of Esports, but rather through Esports professionals, influencers and content creators interacting . We could be negatively affected by current and other future rules or regulations set forth by the Esports leagues in which we currently, or in the future may, participate . We may be unable to effectively manage the continued growth and the scope and complexity of our business, including our expansion into adjacent industries or business opportunities with well - established competitors . Risks Related to FaZe’s People We are a global company and are subject to the risks and uncertainties of conducting business outside the United States . While international expansion is one of our growth objectives, we may not be able to materialize on available acquisition opportunities, or guarantee that we will successfully integrate those acquisitions into our existing business . Fluctuations in exchange rates may negatively affect our results of operations . Any cybersecurity - related attack, significant data breach, or disruption of the information technology systems or networks on which we rely could negatively impact our business . We may invest in or acquire other businesses, and our business may suffer if we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our company or otherwise manage the growth associated with multiple acquisitions . Changes in our business strategy, as well as acquisitions, investments, divestitures and other strategic restructuring transactions could result in operating difficulties and other negative consequences . The loss of one or more of our key executives, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could seriously harm our business . Our workforce and operations have grown substantially since our inception and we expect that they will continue to do so . If we are unable to effectively manage that growth, our financial performance and future prospects will be adversely affected . The continued growth and success will depend on the performance of certain of the current and future key Esports and content - creating employees of FaZe . Recruitment and retention of these individuals is vital to growing our business and any failure to attract or retain our key Esports and content - creating personnel could harm our business . An increase in the relative size of Esports and content creator salaries or talent acquisitions costs could negatively impact our business . Risks Related to FaZe’s Intellectual Property The success of our business is highly dependent on the existence and maintenance of intellectual property rights in the entertainment products and services we create . We may be unable to maintain or acquire licenses to include intellectual property owned by others in our entertainment offerings . If we fail to maintain, protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished, and our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could be negatively impacted .

 

 

27 Risk Factors (Cont.) Risks Related to FaZe’s Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Matters We are involved in, and in the future may become involved, in claims, suits ,government investigations and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business . The outcomes of any such current or future legal proceedings could have a negative impact on our business . The Company regularly becomes aware of infringement by third parties with respect to its intellectual property ; identifying and defending the Company’s rights against infringements is costly . We could become involved in future legal disputes involving our intellectual property claims or other disputes that are expensive to support, and if resolved adversely to us, could harm our business, revenue and financial results . Failure to comply with governmental laws and regulations could harm our business . Our insurance may not provide adequate levels of coverage against claims . Changes in regulations applicable to our business, including the Internet, may impair the profitability of our business . Our operations outside the United States may be adversely affected by the operation of laws and regulations in those jurisdictions . Existing and future laws that permit skill - based gaming may be accompanied in the future by regulatory and/or licensing requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, growth prospects and reputation . Our business, products, and distribution, as well as the services of third - parties upon which we rely, are subject to increasing regulation in certain key territories around the world . If we or they do not successfully respond and adapt to these regulations, our business could be negatively impacted . The laws and regulations concerning data privacy are continually evolving . Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business . Labor disputes may disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations . Risks Related to FaZe’s Tax, Financial and Accounting Matters As a public reporting company, FaZe will be subject to rules and regulations established by the SEC and Nasdaq regarding FaZe’s internal control over financial reporting . FaZe may not complete needed improvements to its internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in FaZe’s company and, as a result, the value of FaZe’s stock and your investment . The failure to successfully implement and maintain accounting systems could materially adversely impact FaZe’s business, results of operations, and financial condition . Following the Business Combination, FaZe’s failure to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404 (a) of the Sarbanes - Oxley Act that will be applicable to it after the Business Combination is consummated could have a material adverse effect on its business . Changes in tax laws may adversely affect FaZe, and the Internal Revenue Service or a court may disagree with tax positions taken by FaZe . The interpretation and application of new United States tax legislation or other changes in United States or non - U . S . taxation of our operations could harm our business, revenue and financial results . Our financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States . If our judgments or estimates relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our results of operations could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price . Risks Related to SPAC and the Business Combination Directors of SPAC have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that its stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination . The Placement Agent and its affiliates (the “Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) and there may be situations where parts of a Group and/or their clients either now have or may in the future have interests, or take actions, that may conflict with the Company’s interests . For example, the Group has in the past and may, in the ordinary course of business, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investments for their own account or on behalf of other clients, including, but not limited to, trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of the Company, or other entities connected with a transaction . The Placement Agent was an underwriter of the initial public offering of the Company and has several relationships wit the Company, including : Daniel Shribman is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the President of B . Riley Principal Investments, LLC and Chief Investment Officer of B . Riley Financial, affiliates of the Placement Agent . SPAC’s initial stockholders, officers and directors may agree to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how its public stockholders vote . The SPAC’s sponsors, directors, officers, advisors, and their affiliates may enter into certain transactions, including purchasing shares or warrants from public stockholders, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of its securities .

 

 

28 Risk Factors (Cont.) In light of the SEC’s Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies issued on April 12 , 2021 (the “Statement”), the SPAC concluded that its warrants should be accounted for as a liability (rather than as equity) and, as a result, determined it was appropriate to restate its previously issued audited balance sheet as of February 23 , 2021 . Relatedly, SPAC also assessed the adequacy of its internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and following such process, the SPAC identified a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting . The SPAC and, following the Business Combination, FaZe, may face litigation and other risks as a result of any material weaknesses that may be identified in SPAC’s internal control over financial reporting . There has been increase scrutiny and litigation of SPACs and their business combinations, and the Company and business combination could be subject to litigation, which could be expensive and time - consuming . Post Business Combination, FaZe may invest or spend the proceeds of the Business Combination and Private Placement in ways with which the investors may not agree or in ways which may not yield a return . Each of SPAC and FaZe have incurred and will incur substantial costs in connection with the Business Combination, Private Placement and related transactions, such as legal, accounting, consulting, and financial advisory fees, which will be paid out of the proceeds of the Business Combination and the Private Placement . The ability of SPAC’s public stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of shares could deplete SPAC’s trust account prior to the Business Combination and thereby diminish the amount of working capital of the combined company . Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination may affect FaZe’s ability to retain key employees and integrate management structures and may materially impact the management, strategy, and results of its operation as a combined company . Neither the SPAC board of directors nor any committee thereof obtained a third - party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination . SPAC is an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, subject to reduced disclosure requirements, and there is a risk that availing itself of such reduced disclosure requirements will make its common stock less attractive to investors . The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination may not be completed . Legal proceedings in connection with the Business Combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the completion of the Business Combination . Changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination may be required as a result of applicable laws or regulations . Following the Business Combination, anti - takeover provisions contained in FaZe’s restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt . Claims for indemnification by FaZe’s directors and officers may reduce FaZe’s available funds to satisfy successful third - party claims against FaZe and may reduce the amount of money available to FaZe . FaZe’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws currently provide, and following the Business Combination, FaZe’s restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will provide, for an exclusive forum in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for certain disputes between FaZe and its stockholders, and that the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act of 1933 , which could limit FaZe’s stockholders’ ability to obtain what such stockholders believe to be a favorable judicial forum for disputes with FaZe or FaZe’s directors, officers or other employees . FaZe will incur significant expenses as a result of being a public company, which could materially adversely affect FaZe’s business, results of operations, and financial condition . Investment in the Private Placement bears a high degree of risk – you may experience a partial or complete loss of your investment ; The placement agent in the Private Placement may have potential conflicts of interest which if not handled in accordance with the SEC rules, including regulation “Best Interest”, may impact your investment in the company . Since the Company’s sponsor, officers and directors, most of whom are affiliates of the Placement Agent, will lose their entire investment in the Company if an initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for an initial business combination . The Placement Agent has a similar conflict of interest with investors in the Company since, an underwriter of the initial public offering of the Company, the Placement Agent will not receive a portion of its underwriter fees if a business combination is not completed by the Company . Risks Related to FaZe’ Securities Following Consummation of the Business Combination If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of FaZe’s common stock may decline . An active trading market for FaZe’s shares of common stock may not be available on a consistent basis to provide stockholders with adequate liquidity . The stock price may be volatile, and stockholders could lose a significant part of their investment . There can be no assurance that the common stock issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on Nasdaq following the closing, or that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq . FaZe has broad discretion in how it uses the net proceeds from the Business Combination and FaZe may not use them effectively .

 

 

29 Risk Factors (Cont.) FaZe may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention . Because FaZe has no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your shares for a price greater than that which you paid for them . If, following the Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about FaZe, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding FaZe’s securities adversely, the price and trading volume of FaZe’s securities could decline . Future sales and issuances of FaZe’s common stock or rights to purchase FaZe’s common stock, including pursuant to FaZe’s equity incentive plans, or other equity securities or securities convertible into FaZe’s common stock, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of FaZe’s stockholders and could cause the stock price of FaZe’s common stock to decline . Warrants will become exercisable for the combined company’s common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to FaZe’s stockholders . Investors in the Private Placement will experience immediate and substantial dilution . The Sponsor is entitled to have its shares of common stock of the Company be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission . Upon the expiration of the contemplated lock - up agreement with the Sponsor, and the effectiveness of such registration, the Sponsor may sell large amounts of common stock which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the share price of the common stock or putting significant downward pressure on the price of the class common stock . We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future, which could make it difficult for another company to acquire us or could otherwise adversely affect holders of our common stock .
