Disclaimer Financial Information ; Non - GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this Presentation has not been audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and does not conform to Regulation S - X . Such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in the registration statement to be filed by NextGen relating to the proposed Business Combination and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein . This Presentation also includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with U . S . generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) including EBITDA, EBITDA margin, free cash flow and EBITDA - Capex +/ - change in Net Working Capital (“NWC”) and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom . The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization . The Company defines EBITDA margin as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization as a percentage of its total revenue . The Company defines EBITDA - Capex +/ - change in NWC as free cash flow . These non - GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results . Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP . You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly - titled measures used by other companies . NextGen and the Company believe these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations . NextGen and the Company believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors . These non - GAAP financial measures 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 . Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Company will not modify the presentation of these or similar non - GAAP measures in the future, including to make adjustments for future expenses or other items that the Company believes are appropriate in comparing its operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis . This Presentation also includes certain projections of non - GAAP financial measures . Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, NextGen and the Company are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort . Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures is included . For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results . Industry and Market Data In this Presentation, the Company relies on and refers to certain information and statistics obtained from third - party sources which it believes to be reliable . Neither NextGen nor the Company has independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such third - party information . This data is subject to change .

53 Confidential | Risk Factors All references below to “Virgin Orbit,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of Vieco USA, Inc . and its consolidated subsidiaries . The risks presented below are certain of the general risks related to the business of the Company and the Business Combination, and such list is not exhaustive . The list below is qualified in its entirety by disclosures contained in future documents filed or furnished by the Company and NextGen , with the U . S . Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the documents filed or furnished in connection with the proposed transactions between the Company and NextGen . 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 the Company and NextGen and the proposed transactions between the Company and NextGen , and may differ significantly from and be more extensive than those presented below . Investing in securities (the “Securities”) to be issued in connection with the Business Combination involves a high degree of risk . You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties, together with the information in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes . There are many risks that could affect the business and results of operations of the Company, many of which are beyond its control . If any of these risks or uncertainties occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results could be materially and adversely harmed . Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or those currently viewed to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results . If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, the value of the Company’s equity securities may decline . General Risk Factors 1. We have incurred significant losses since inception, we expect to incur losses in the future and we may not be able to achieve o r m aintain profitability. 2. The success of our business will be highly dependent on our ability to effectively market and sell our launch services for small low Earth orbit (“LEO”) satellites, space - based connectivity solutions and national security applications, and to convert contracted revenues and our pipeline of potential contracts into actual revenues. 3. The market for launch services for small LEO satellites and space - based connectivity solutions is not well established, is still eme rging and may not achieve the growth potential we expect or may grow more slowly than expected. 4. Our ability to grow our business depends on the successful operation of our launch systems and related technology and our ability to introduce new enhancements or services, which are subject to many uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. 5. We may not be able to convert our estimated $300 million in contracted revenue or $3.6 billion in potential contracts into actual revenue. 6. Our forecast of operating and financial results relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses that we have developed, and ac tua l results may vary or fluctuate significantly. Such possible variations and fluctuations make our future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations or any guidanc e w e may provide. 7. We routinely conduct hazardous operations in test and launch of our vehicles and vehicle subsystems, which could result in damag e t o property or persons. Unsatisfactory performance or failure of our launch vehicles and related technology at launch or during operation could reduce customer confidence and have a material adverse effect on our business, fi nancial condition and results of operation. 8. If we are unable to adapt to and satisfy customer demands in a timely and cost - effective manner, or if we are unable to manufacture our launch vehicles at a quantity and quality that our customers demand, our ability to grow our business may suffer. 9. We may be unable to manage our future growth effectively, which could make it difficult to execute our business strategy. 10. Our prospects and operations may be adversely affected by changes in market preferences and economic conditions that affect deman d f or our launch services. 11. Adverse publicity stemming from any incident involving us or our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, fi nan cial condition and results of operations. 12. Due to the unique structure of our launch operations, there is the possibility that an accident or catastrophe could lead to the los s of human life or a medical emergency.

 

 

54 Confidential | Risk Factors (cont’d) General Risk Factors (cont’d) 13. We may require substantial additional funding to finance our operations, but adequate additional financing may not be available whe n we need it, on acceptable terms or at all. 14. Certain future operational facilities may require significant expenditures in capital improvements and operating expenses to develop and foster basic levels of service needed by our launch operations, and the ongoing need to maintain existing operational facilities requires us to expend capital. 15. We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials and supplied components. We may not be able to obtain suffici ent raw materials or supplied components to meet our manufacturing and operating needs, or obtain such materials on favorable terms, which could impair our ability to fulfill our orders in a timely manner or increase ou r costs of production. 16. We and our suppliers rely on complex systems and components, which involves a significant degree of risk and uncertainty in term s o f operational performance and costs. 17. We expect to face intense competition in the commercial space launch industry and other industries in which we may operate. 18. We expect to invest significant resources in developing new offerings and exploring the application of our proprietary technolog ies for other uses in national space applications and space - based connectivity solutions, and those opportunities may never materialize. 19. We conduct a significant portion of our business pursuant to government contracts, including with the U.S. government, which are su bject to unique risks including early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions and penalties. 20. Changes in levels of U.S. government defense spending or overall acquisition priorities could negatively impact our financial positio n a nd results of operations. 21. Failures in our technology infrastructure could damage our business, reputation and brand and substantially harm our business and resu lts of operations. 22. Our networks and those of our third - party service providers may be vulnerable to security risks. 23. Cyber - attacks and other security breaches could have an adverse effect on our business, harm our reputation and expose us to liability. Cyb ers ecurity incidents could disrupt our business or result in the loss of critical and confidential or classified information. 24. Due to our remote workforce, we may face increased business continuity and cyber risks that could significantly harm our business an d operations. 25. We are highly dependent on our senior management team and other highly skilled personnel, and if we are not successful in attrac tin g or retaining highly qualified personnel, we may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy. 26. Any acquisitions, partnerships or joint ventures that we enter into could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effe ct on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 27. We are subject to many hazards and operational risks that can disrupt our business, including interruptions or disruptions in se rvi ce at our primary facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 28. The COVID - 19 pandemic has and could continue to 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 services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 29. We have identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material we aknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligatio ns. 30. We may become involved in litigation that may materially adversely affect us .

 

 

55 Confidential | Risk Factors (cont’d) Risks Related to our Intellectual Property 1. If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be impaired and we ma y lose valuable assets, generate reduced revenue and incur costly litigation to protect our rights. 2. The “Virgin” brand is not under our control, and negative publicity related to the Virgin brand name could materially adversely a ffe ct our business. 3. Protecting and defending against intellectual property claims may have a material adverse effect on our business . Risks Related to our Legal and Regulatory Environment 1. If we commercialize outside the United States, we will be exposed to a variety of risks associated with international operations th at could materially and adversely affect our business. 2. Our business is subject to a wide variety of extensive and evolving government laws and regulations. Failure to comply with such law s and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. 3. We are subject to stringent U.S. export and import control laws and regulations. Unfavorable changes in these laws and regulatio ns or U.S. government licensing policies, our failure to secure timely U.S. government authorizations under these laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effe ct on our business, financial condition and results of operation. 4. We are subject to environmental regulation and may incur substantial costs. 5. Environmental , social and governance matters may impact our business and reputation. 6. Changes in tax laws or regulations may increase tax uncertainty and adversely affect results of our operations and our effective tax rat e. 7. U.S . tax legislation could adversely affect our business and financial condition .

 

 

56 Confidential | Risk Factors (cont’d) Risks Related to the Business Combination 1. Both NextGen and the Company will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. 2. The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or wa ive d, the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination may not be completed. 3. The ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and the Combined Company’s ability to successfully operate the busine ss thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of the Company[, all of whom we expect to stay with the Combined Company following the Business Combination]. The loss of such key personnel could ne gatively impact the operations and financial results of the combined business. 4. If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of NextGen's securities or, following the consummation of the Business Combination, the value of the Combined Company’s securities, may decline. 5. Legal proceedings in connection with the Business Combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the comp let ion of the Business Combination. 6. The Business Combination or Combined Company may be materially adversely affected by the COVID - 19 outbreak. 7. Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect the Company’s and the Comb ine d Company’s business, including NextGen's and the Company's ability to consummate the Business Combination, and results of operations. 8. NextGen directors and officers may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to those of oth er NextGen shareholders. 9. The grant and future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of the Combined Company’s securities u pon consummation of the Business Combination. 10. If NextGen's due diligence investigation of the Company's business is inadequate, then shareholders of the company following the business co mbination could lose some or all of their investment.
