Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On December 7, 2021, Virgin Group Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“VGAC II”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among VGAC II, Treehouse Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VGAC II Merger Sub”), and Grove Collaborative, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation (“Grove”).

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of VGAC II and Grove.

The Business Combination

The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions on the closing date: (i) VGAC II will become a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Domestication”) and, in connection with the Domestication, (a) VGAC II’s name will be changed to “Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc.” (“New Grove”), (b) each then-issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of VGAC II will convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock of New Grove (the “New Grove Class A Common Stock”), (c) each then-issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of VGAC II will convert automatically into one share of New Grove Class A Common Stock, and (d) each then-issued and outstanding common warrant of VGAC II will convert automatically into one warrant to purchase one share of New Grove Class A Common Stock; and (ii) following the Domestication, VGAC II Merger Sub will merge with and into Grove, with Grove as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Grove (the “Merger”).

The Domestication, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”

In connection with the Business Combination, VGAC II will adopt a dual class stock structure pursuant to which (i) all stockholders of Grove will hold shares of Class B common stock of New Grove (the “New Grove Class B Common Stock”), which will have ten votes per share. The New Grove Class B Common Stock will be subject to conversion to New Grove Class A Common Stock (i) upon any transfers of New Grove Class B Common Stock (except for certain permitted transfers) or (ii) on the date that is the earliest to occur of (A) the fifth anniversary of the closing date and (B) the forty-fifth day (or, if such day is not a business day in the United States, the next such business day) after the end of the first fiscal quarter of New Grove in which the number of shares of New Grove Class B Common Stock outstanding or subject to outstanding securities convertible into or exercisable therefor, or otherwise underlying outstanding equity compensation awards, represents, in the aggregate, less than ten percent (10%) of all shares of common stock outstanding or subject to outstanding securities convertible into or exercisable therefor, or otherwise underlying outstanding equity compensation awards, in each case, measured on the last day of such fiscal quarter.

The Business Combination is expected to close in late Q1 or early Q2 2022, following the receipt of the required approval by VGAC II’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

Merger Consideration

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, based on an implied equity value of $1.4 billion, (i) each share of Grove common stock and preferred stock (on an as-converted to common stock basis) (other than dissenting shares) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive (a) a number of shares of New Grove Class B Common Stock, as determined pursuant to an exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”) and (b) a number of restricted shares of New Grove Class B Common Stock that will vest upon the achievement of certain earnout thresholds prior to the tenth anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination (such shares, the “Grove Earnout Shares”), (ii) each outstanding option to purchase Grove common stock (whether vested or unvested) will be assumed by New Grove and converted into (a) comparable options that are exercisable for shares of New Grove Class B Common Stock, with a value determined in accordance with the Exchange Ratio and (b) the right to receive a number of Grove Earnout Shares, (iii) each award of restricted stock units to acquire Grove common stock (collectively, “Grove RSUs”) will be assumed by New Grove and

converted into (a) a comparable award of restricted share units to acquire shares of New Grove Class B Common Stock and (b) the right to receive a number of Grove Earnout Shares, and (iv) each warrant to acquire shares of Grove common stock or Grove preferred stock will be assumed by New Grove and converted into (a) a comparable warrant to acquire shares of New Grove Class B Common Stock and (b) the right to receive a number of Grove Earnout Shares.

The Grove Earnout Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 14 million shares of New Grove Class B Common Stock and be subject to an earnout period of ten years (the “Earnout Period”), with such shares vesting effective (i) with respect to 50% of the Grove Earnout Shares, if the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of New Grove Class A Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any 20 trading days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any 30-trading-day period that occurs after the closing date and prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, and (ii) with respect to the other 50% of the Grove Earnout Shares, if the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of New Grove Class A Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any 20 trading days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any 30-trading-day period that occurs after the closing date and prior to expiration of the Earnout Period. In addition, in the event that (x) there is a Change of Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (or a definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control has been entered into) after the closing of the Business Combination and prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period or (y) there is a liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar event with respect to New Grove after the closing date and prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, the Grove Earnout Shares will automatically vest (to the extent such Grove Earnout Shares have not already vested in accordance with the Merger Agreement).

If, upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, any Grove Earnout Shares shall have not vested, then such Grove Earnout Shares shall be automatically forfeited by the holders thereof and canceled by New Grove.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type. VGAC II and Grove have also agreed to take all necessary action such that, effective immediately after the closing of the Business Combination, the VGAC II board of directors (the “Board”) shall consist of nine directors, of whom one individual shall be designated by VGAC II, with the remaining eight individuals designated by Grove. In addition, VGAC II has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan in an amount not to exceed 15% of New Grove’s equity interests outstanding as of immediately following the Merger with an annual evergreen provision in an amount not to exceed 5% of New Grove’s equity interests outstanding as of the day prior to such increase, as well as an employee stock purchase plan in an amount to be determined by the Board prior to the closing of the Business Combination with an annual evergreen provision in an amount of no less than 1% of New Grove’s equity interests outstanding as of the day prior to such increase.

The obligations of VGAC II and Grove to consummate the Business Combination are subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the approval of VGAC II’s and Grove’s shareholders, (ii) no governmental authority will have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law, rule, regulation or other judgment which is then in effect and has the effect of making the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibits the Business Combination, (iii) all required filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), will have been completed and any applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Business Combination under the HSR Act will have expired or been terminated, (iv) the registration statement will have been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement will be in effect; and no proceedings for purposes of suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement will have been initiated or be threatened by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (v) the Domestication will have been consummated, and (vi) VGAC II will have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (the “Exchange Act”) remaining after the closing of the Business Combination.

In addition, the obligation of Grove to consummate the Business Combination is subject to the fulfilment of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the aggregate cash proceeds from VGAC II’s trust account, together

with the proceeds from the PIPE Financing (as defined below), equaling no less than $175,000,000 (after deducting any amounts paid to VGAC II shareholders that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination).

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of VGAC II and Grove, (ii) by either party if any governmental authority has enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making the consummation of the Business Combination, including the Merger, illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Business Combination, (iii) by VGAC II if there is any breach of any representation, warrant, covenant or agreement on the part of Grove set forth in the Merger Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iv) by Grove if there is any breach of any representation, warrant, covenant or agreement on the part of VGAC II or VGAC II Merger Sub set forth in the Merger Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (v) subject to certain limited exceptions, by either VGAC II or Grove if the Business Combination is not consummated by July 31, 2022, and (vi) by either VGAC II or Grove if certain required approvals are not obtained by VGAC II shareholders after the conclusion of a meeting of VGAC II’s shareholders held for such purpose at which such shareholders voted on such approvals (subject to any permitted adjournment or postponement of such meeting).

If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, none of the parties to the Merger Agreement will have any liability or any further obligation under the Merger Agreement other than customary confidentiality obligations, other than liability of any of the parties for intentional and willful breach of the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement will be filed to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties to the Merger Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors, security holders and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Merger Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Merger Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in VGAC II’s public disclosures.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, VGAC II, VG Acquisition Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”), Grove and certain other persons party thereto entered into a sponsor agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger) and (ii) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in VGAC II’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with respect to the Class B ordinary shares of VGAC II held by the Sponsor, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Agreement.

In addition, the Sponsor has agreed that 35% of the shares of common stock of VGAC II held by the Sponsor as of the date of the Sponsor Agreement (together with the shares of New Grove Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such shares in connection with the Domestication, the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) will be subject to certain earn-out provisions set forth in the Sponsor Agreement. Pursuant to such earn-out provisions, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be subject to the Earnout Period with such shares vesting effective (i) with respect to 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares, if the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of New Grove Class A Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any 20 trading days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any 30-trading-day period that occurs after the closing date and prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, and (ii) with respect to the other 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares, if the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of New Grove Class A Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any 20 trading days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any 30-trading-day period that occurs after the closing date and prior to expiration of the Earnout Period. In addition, in the event that (x) there is a Change of Control (as defined in the Sponsor Agreement) (or a definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control has been entered into) after the closing of the Business Combination and prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period or (y) there is a liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar event with respect to New Grove after the closing date and prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will automatically vest (to the extent such Sponsor Earnout Shares have not already vested in accordance with the Sponsor Agreement).

If, upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, any Sponsor Earnout Shares shall have not vested, then such Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be automatically forfeited by the Sponsor and canceled by New Grove.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and VGAC II agreed to issue and sell to such investors, on the closing date, an aggregate of 8,707,500 shares of New Grove Class A Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $87,075,000 (the “PIPE Financing”).

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects or strategies regarding the future, including possible business combinations, revenue growth and financial performance, product expansion and services. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements that may be contained in this communication are based on our current expectations and beliefs made by the management of VGAC II and Grove in light of their respective experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effects on VGAC II and Grove as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting VGAC II or Grove will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including that the VGAC II stockholders will approve the transaction, regulatory approvals, product and service acceptance, and that, Grove will have sufficient capital upon the approval of the transaction to operate as anticipated. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other sections of VGAC II’s filings with the SEC, and in VGAC II’s current and periodic reports filed or furnished from time to time with the SEC.

As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Newco shall cause the Exchange Agent, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to pay the Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with the Merger Payment Schedule and the other applicable provisions contained in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, and in any event within two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time (but in no event prior to the Effective Time), Newco shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each holder of Company Securities (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the conversion of shares of Company Preferred Stock), in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented by book-entry, the Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01(b) and the shares of Company Common Stock and the Company Warrants shall forthwith be cancelled.

The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share or stock split, reverse share or stock split, share or stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Ordinary Shares or shares of Newco Common Stock, as applicable, occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Securities for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Newco, upon demand, and any holders of Company Securities who have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.02 shall thereafter look only to Newco for the Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Securities as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent

permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Newco free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, Newco or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Company Securities (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the conversion of shares of Company Preferred Stock) for any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with this Section 3.02.

(g) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip or shares representing fractional shares of Newco Common Stock shall be issued upon the exchange of Company Securities and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a stockholder of Parent or a holder of shares of Newco Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional share of Newco Common Stock to which any holder of Company Securities would otherwise be entitled, the Exchange Agent shall round up or down to the nearest whole share of Newco Common Stock, as applicable, with a fraction of 0.5 and greater rounded up. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding.

SECTION 3.03 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock thereafter on the records of the Company.

Any stockholder of the Company who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or, to the extent applicable, demands for dissenters’ rights received by the Company and any withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL.

(a) Parent has filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents, including any exhibits thereto, required to be filed by it with the SEC, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (collectively, the “Parent SEC Reports”). Parent has heretofore furnished to the Company true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications that have not been filed by Parent with the SEC to all agreements, documents and other instruments that previously had been filed by Parent with the SEC and are currently in effect. As of their respective dates, the Parent SEC Reports (i) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and (ii) did not, at the time they were filed, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein

or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each director and executive officer of Parent has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all documents required with respect to Parent by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

(b) Each of the financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the Parent SEC Reports was prepared in accordance with GAAP (applied on a consistent basis) and Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, as applicable, throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited financial statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) and each fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows of Parent as at the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein, (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments which would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate be material). Parent has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports. No financial statements other than those of Parent are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of Parent.

(c) Except as and to the extent set forth in the Parent SEC Reports, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any material liability or obligation of a nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), except for liabilities and obligations arising in the ordinary course of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s business consistent with past practice or incurred in connection with the Transactions.

(d) Parent is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of NYSE.

(e) Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that material information relating to Parent and other material information required to be disclosed by Parent in the reports and other documents that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

(f) Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act and the listing standards of the NYSE). Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure (i) the reliability of Parent’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in material conformity with GAAP and (ii) that material information relating to Parent is accumulated and communicated to Parent’s management as appropriate. Since Parent’s formation, there have been no significant deficiencies or material weakness in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and no change in Parent’s control over financial reporting

that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Parent’s internal control over financial reporting.

(g) Neither Parent nor any employee or, to the knowledge of Parent, any independent auditor of Parent has identified or been made aware of (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the system of internal accounting controls utilized by Parent, (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves Parent’s management or other employees who have a role in the preparation of financial statements or the internal accounting controls utilized by Parent or (iii) any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing.

(h) None of the Parent SEC Reports are the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC comment.

There is no Action (other than investigations) or, to the knowledge of Parent, investigations, pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened against Parent, or any property or asset of Parent, before any Governmental Authority or that challenges or seeks to prevent or enjoin the Transactions. Neither Parent nor any material property or asset of Parent is subject to any continuing order of, consent decree, settlement agreement or other similar written agreement with, or, to the knowledge of Parent, continuing investigation by, any Governmental Authority, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority that would reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to Parent.

Transaction pursuant to this Agreement, is fair, from a financial point of view, to Parent, a copy of which opinion will be made available to the Company solely for informational purposes.

SECTION 5.14 Trust Account. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has (and, assuming no holders of Parent Ordinary Shares exercise the Redemption Rights, will have immediately prior to the Closing) no less than $402,500,000 in the trust fund established by Parent for the benefit of its Public Shareholders (the “Trust Fund”) maintained in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). The monies of such Trust Account are invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and held in trust by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2021, between Parent and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement has not been terminated, repudiated, rescinded, amended, supplemented or modified, in any respect, and no such termination, repudiation, rescission, amendment, supplement or modification is contemplated, and is valid and in full force and effect, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and the Trustee, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exceptions. Parent has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in claimed or actual material breach thereof or material default thereunder and, to the knowledge of Parent, there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a material breach or default by Parent or the Trustee. There are no separate Contracts, agreements, side letters or other understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) with the Trustee or any other person: (i) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) that would entitle any person (other than (x) shareholders of Parent who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Parent Governing Document and (y) any underwriters in connection with Parent’s initial public offering which may be entitled to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions specified in the Prospectus) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and franchise Taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) upon the exercise of Redemption Rights in accordance with the provisions of the Parent Governing Document. As of the date hereof, there are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein and the compliance by the Company with its respective obligations hereunder, Parent has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Parent at the Effective Time.

Parent and Merger Sub do not maintain, sponsor, contribute to or otherwise have any liability, and have never maintained, sponsored, contributed to or otherwise had any liability, under any Employee Benefit Plan. Neither the execution and delivery of this

Agreement or the other Ancillary Agreements nor the consummation of the Transactions will: (a) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any director, officer or employee of Parent; or (b) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits.

SECTION 6.03 Claims Against Trust Account.

The Company hereby represents and warrants that it has read the Prospectus and understands that Parent has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment shares acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Parent’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by Parent’s underwriters the “Public Shareholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the express purposes set forth in the Prospectus.

Following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation will honor all accrued but unused vacation, sick leave and other paid time off of the Continuing Employees that existed immediately prior to the Closing with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs.

(a) The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall each contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth in the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee”), unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. From and after the Effective Time, Parent agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under applicable Law, the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Company, each as in effect on the date of this Agreement, to indemnify such Indemnitee (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).

(b) From the Closing Date, and for a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall Parent be required to pay an annual premium for (or an increase in premium due to) such insurance in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Company for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Maximum Annual Premium”); provided, however, that if any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.07(b) shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

(c) Parent shall (i) cause coverage to be extended under its current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy by obtaining a six (6) year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and (ii) if any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.07(c) shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

(d) On the Closing Date, to the extent not already entered into, Parent shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to each of the Company and Parent with the post-Closing directors and officers of Newco, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing. Prior to the Closing, Parent and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Parent shall, with effectiveness from and after the Closing, obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering the persons who will be directors and officers of Parent and its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing and thereafter on terms that are consistent with market standards.

(e) If Parent or, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.07.

SECTION 7.08 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Company and Parent shall give prompt notice to the other party of: (a) any Action or investigation that would have been required to be disclosed to the other party under this Agreement if such party had knowledge of it as of the date hereof; (b) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event whose occurrence or non-occurrence, as the case may be, could reasonably be expected to cause any condition set forth in ‎Article VIII not to be satisfied at any time from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time; (c) any notice or other communication from any third Person alleging that the consent of such third Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other Transactions; (d) without limiting Section 7.13, any regulatory notice or report from a Governmental Authority in respect of the Transactions; and (e) in the case of the Company, any information or knowledge obtained by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to materially affect the Company’s or any of the Company Subsidiary’s current projections, forecasts or budgets or estimates of revenues, earnings or other measures of financial performance for any period.

SECTION 7.09 Further Action; Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, such things as are necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws or otherwise, and each shall cooperate with the other, to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of, and the expiration or termination of waiting periods by, Governmental Authorities and parties to contracts with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as set forth in Section 4.05 necessary for the consummation of the Transactions and

to fulfill the conditions to the Merger.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein (including Section 7.13) shall require the Company to incur any liability or expense (other than de minimis costs and expenses) or subject itself or its business to any imposition of any limitation on the ability to conduct its business or to own or exercise control of its assets or properties.

(b) Each of the parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the Transactions, including promptly notifying the other parties hereto of any material substantive communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permitting the other parties hereto to review in advance, and to the extent practicable consult about, any proposed substantive communication by such party to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. No party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any substantive meeting, video or telephone conference, or other substantive communications with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it has given the other parties a reasonable opportunity to consult with it in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties hereto or their outside counsel the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting, conference or other communications. Subject to the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto will coordinate and reasonably cooperate with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties hereto may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto will provide each other with copies of all material substantive correspondence, filings or communications, including any documents, information and data contained therewith, between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section 7.09(b) may be restricted to outside legal counsel and may be redacted (i) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (ii) to remove references to privileged information. No party shall take or cause to be taken any action before any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with or intended to delay its action on requests for a consent or the consummation of the Transactions.

except (a) communications consistent with the final form of joint press release announcing the Transactions and the investor presentation given to investors in connection with the announcement of the Transactions or (b) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of the NYSE. Prior to the Closing, Parent and the Company shall mutually agree upon and prepare the press release announcing the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Closing Press Release”). Concurrently with or promptly after the Closing, Parent shall issue the Closing Press Release. Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the preparation by the Company of, and, at least five (5) days prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare, a draft Form 8-K announcing the Closing, together with, or incorporating by reference, the required pro forma financial statements and the historical financial statements prepared by the Company and its accountant (the “Completion 8-K”). Concurrently with the Closing, or as soon as practicable (but in any event within four Business Days) thereafter, Newco shall file the Completion 8-K with the SEC. Nothing contained in this Section 7.10 shall prevent Parent or the Company or their respective Affiliates from furnishing customary or other reasonable information concerning the Transactions to their investors and prospective investors that is substantively consistent with public statements previously consented to by the other party in accordance with this Section 7.10.

SECTION 7.11 Tax Matters.

(a) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each of the Domestication and the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties to this Agreement hereby: (i) adopt this Agreement insofar as it relates to the Merger as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury regulations, (ii) adopt this Agreement insofar as it relates to the Domestication as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury regulations, (iii) agree to file and retain such information as shall be required under Section 1.368-3 of the United States Treasury regulations, and (iv) agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that each such party and each of the stockholders of the Company (x) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the Transactions, and (y) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Merger is determined not to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.

(b) None of Newco, Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall (and each shall cause its Affiliates not to) take any action (or fail to take any reasonable action) which action (or failure to act), whether before or after the Effective Time, would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Intended Tax Treatment.

(c) Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing if, before the Closing Date, such party knows or has reason to believe that the Merger may not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment (and whether the terms of this Agreement could be reasonably amended in order to facilitate the Merger qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment). In the event that in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement the SEC requests or requires tax opinions, each party shall use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver

customary tax representation letters to Sidley Austin LLP and/or Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as relevant, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such advisor dated and executed as of the date the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC and such other date(s) as determined reasonably necessary by such advisor in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement. In the event the Company seeks a tax opinion from its tax advisor regarding the Intended Tax Treatment, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver customary tax representation letters to its tax advisor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such advisor.

(d) Newco will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Pre-Closing Parent Holders information that is reasonably required to (i) determine the amount that is required to be taken into income in connection with Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(b)-3 as a result of the Domestication; (ii) make the election contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(b)-3(c)(3); and (iii) make a timely and valid election as contemplated by Section 1295 of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) with respect to Parent for each year that Parent is considered a passive foreign investment company (including through provision of the Annual Information Statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1295-1(g)).

(e) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the payment of any earnout Merger Consideration shall constitute purchase price consideration, and not compensation, to the holders of Company Capital Stock. The parties to this Agreement hereby agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

SECTION 7.12 Stock Exchange Listing. During the period from the date hereof until the Closing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Parent Units, Parent Class A Ordinary Shares and Parent Warrants listed for trading on the NYSE. Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that Newco is listed as a public company, and that the shares of Newco Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Transactions are approved for listing on the NYSE, in each case, as of the Closing.

SECTION 7.13 Antitrust.

(a) To the extent required under any Laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade, including the HSR Act (“Antitrust Laws”), each party hereto agrees to promptly make any required filing or application under Antitrust Laws, as applicable, and no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, the Company and Parent each shall file (or cause to be filed) with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission a Notification and Report Form as required by the HSR Act. The parties hereto agree to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may reasonably be requested pursuant to Antitrust Laws and to use reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods or obtain required approvals, as applicable under Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided for under the HSR Act.

(b) No party hereto shall take any action that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect or materially delay the approval of any Governmental Authority, or the expiration or termination of any waiting period of any required filings or applications under Antitrust Laws, including by agreeing to merge with or acquire any other person or acquire a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any other person. The parties hereto further covenant and agree, with respect to a threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions, to use reasonable best efforts to prevent or lift the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof, as the case may be.

SECTION 7.14 Trust Account. As of the Effective Time, the obligations of Parent to dissolve or liquidate within a specified time period as contained in the Parent Governing Document will be terminated and Parent shall have no obligation whatsoever to dissolve and liquidate the assets of Parent by reason of the consummation of the Merger or otherwise, and no equityholder of Parent shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account. At least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall provide notice to the Trustee in accordance with the Trust Agreement and shall deliver any other documents, opinions or notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement and cause the Trustee prior to the Effective Time to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to, transfer all funds held in the Trust Account to Parent (to be held as Available Cash on the balance sheet of Parent, and to be used for payment of Outstanding Transaction Expenses hereunder, working capital and other general corporate purposes of the business following the Closing) and thereafter shall cause the Trust Account and the Trust Agreement to terminate; provided, however, that the liabilities and obligations of Parent due and owing or incurred at or prior to the Effective Time shall be paid as and when due, including all amounts payable (a) to shareholders of Parent who shall have exercised their Redemption Rights and (b) to the Trustee for fees and costs incurred in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

SECTION 7.15 Financing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms and

conditions described therein, including using its reasonable best efforts to (a) comply with its obligations under the Subscription Agreements, (b) maintain in effect the Subscription Agreements in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, (c) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to Parent set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreements, (d) enforce its rights under the Subscription Agreements to cause the PIPE Investors to pay to (or as directed by) Parent the applicable purchase price under each PIPE Investor’s applicable Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms and (e) consummate the PIPE Financing when required pursuant to this Agreement. Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice of (i) any request or proposal for an amendment to any Subscription Agreement (other than as a result of any assignments or transfers contemplated therein or otherwise permitted thereby); (ii) of any material breach or material default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement known to Parent; (iii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any provisions of any Subscription Agreement; and (iv) of any underfunding of any amount under any Subscription Agreement.

SECTION 7.16 Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Prior to the Closing, the Parent Board, or an appropriate committee thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC relating to Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act, such that the acquisitions of Newco Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement by any officer or director of the Company who is expected to become a “covered person” of Parent for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“Section 16”) shall be exempt acquisitions for purposes of Section 16.

SECTION 7.17 Qualification as an Emerging Growth Company.

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

SECTION 9.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger and the other Transactions may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding any requisite approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions by the equityholders of the Company or Parent, as follows:

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by either Parent or the Company if the Effective Time shall not have occurred prior to July 31, 2022 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that this Agreement may not be terminated under this Section 9.01(b) by or on behalf of any party that is in breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein and such breach or violation is the principal cause of the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII on or prior to the Outside Date;

(c) by either Parent or the Company if any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger;

(d) by either Parent or the Company if any of the Parent Proposals shall fail to receive the requisite vote for approval at the Parent Holders’ Meeting (subject to any permitted or required adjournment or postponement of the Parent Holders’ Meeting);

(e) by Parent upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Sections 8.02(a) and 8.02(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (“Terminating Company Breach”); provided that Parent and Merger Sub are not then in breach of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which breach would cause any condition in Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such Terminating Company Breach is curable by the Company, Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(e) for so long as the Company continues to exercise its reasonable efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date Parent provides written notice of such breach and the Outside Date) after notice of such breach is provided by Parent to the Company; or

(f) by the Company upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Parent and Merger Sub shall have become untrue, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Sections 8.03(a) and 8.03(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (“Terminating Parent Breach”); provided that the Company is not then in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which breach would cause

any condition in Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.02(b) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such Terminating Parent Breach is curable by Parent and Merger Sub, the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(f) for so long as Parent and Merger Sub continue to exercise their reasonable efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date Company provides written notice of such breach and the Outside Date) after notice of such breach is provided by the Company to Parent.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 9.01 (other than Section 9.01(a)) shall give written notice of such termination to each other party.

SECTION 9.02 Effect of Termination.

Sections 6.03, Article X (other than Sections 10.02 and 10.14) and the Non-Disclosure Agreement, and any corresponding definitions referenced therein, shall, in each case, survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended in writing by the parties hereto at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided that, after the Parent Holder Approval has been obtained, there shall be no amendment or modification that would require the further approval of the Pre-Closing Parent Holders under applicable Law without such approval having first been obtained.

SECTION 10.03 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal Action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court.

Each of the parties hereto further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties hereto further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

SECTION 10.07 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no Representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Transactions, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.07.

A matter set forth in one section of a disclosure schedule need not be set forth in any other section so long as its relevance to such other section of the disclosure schedule or section of the Agreement is reasonably apparent. Any item of information, matter or document disclosed or referenced in, or attached to, the Company Disclosure Schedules or the Parent Disclosure Schedules shall not (a) be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material,” “Company Material Adverse Effect,” “Parent Material Adverse Effect,” “material adverse effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement or to establish a standard of materiality, (b) represent a determination that such item or matter did not arise in the ordinary course of business, (c) constitute, or be deemed to constitute, an admission of liability or obligation regarding such matter (other than with respect to any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedules or Parent Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, referred to in any representation or warranty in this Agreement that expressly requires listing facts, circumstances or agreements in such section of the Company Disclosure Schedules or Parent Disclosure Schedules, as applicable), or (d) notwithstanding the foregoing in subclause (c), constitute, or be deemed to constitute, an admission to any third party in any respect concerning such item or matter.

SECTION 10.11 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the Merger) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

SECTION 10.12 No Recourse. All actions, claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of actions (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or

through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to: (a) this Agreement, (b) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), (c) any breach of this Agreement and (d) any failure of the Merger to be consummated, may be made only against, and are those solely of the persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement and not against any Nonparty Affiliate (as defined below). No other person, including any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, optionholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or Representative of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any party to this Agreement, or any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or Representative of, or any financial advisor or lender to (each of the foregoing, a “Nonparty Affiliate”) any of the foregoing shall have any liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to the items in the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (d).

SECTION 10.13 Expenses. Except as set forth in this Section 10.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement (including Section 3.04), all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger or any other Transaction is consummated, except that the Company and Parent shall each pay one-half of all expenses relating to the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with (a) obtaining customary D&O tail policies, (b) filings under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws or in connection with any other regulatory approvals, (c) the preparation, filing and mailing of the Proxy Statement, and (d) arranging the PIPE Financing; provided, that if the Merger is consummated, all such expenses, and any Transfer Taxes arising as a result of the Merger, will be paid (or reimbursed, as applicable) from the proceeds of the Trust Account and the PIPE Financing.

SECTION 10.14 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (“Davis Polk”) has acted as legal counsel to Parent, Merger Sub, Sponsor, certain Parent security holders and certain of their respective Affiliates prior to the Closing, and that Davis Polk may act as legal counsel to Parent, the Surviving Corporation and one or more of its subsidiaries, Sponsor, certain Parent security holders and certain of their respective Affiliates after the Closing, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation (including on behalf of the Surviving Corporation’s subsidiaries) hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Davis Polk’s representing Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries, Sponsor, any Parent, security holder and any of their respective Affiliates after to the Closing. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences by or among Parent, Merger Sub, Sponsor, Parent security holders or their respective Affiliates in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions will be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Sponsor, such Parent security holder or such Affiliate (and not to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries). Accordingly, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, will not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Davis Polk relating to such engagement, whether or not the Closing will have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) Sponsor or the applicable Parent security holder and its Affiliates

(and not Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) will be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries will be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Davis Polk in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Sponsor, the applicable Parent security holder or their respective Affiliates (and not Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) will hold such property rights and (iii) Davis Polk will have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to Parent after the Closing and before or after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Davis Polk and Parent and Merger Sub before the Closing and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and any of its subsidiaries or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (including on behalf of its subsidiaries) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Davis Polk to such third party; provided, however, that neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any of its subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sponsor.

Annex I

Earnout Merger Consideration

$12.50 Earnout Shares and $15.00 Earnout Shares

This Annex I sets forth the terms for the vesting and forfeiture of the $12.50 Earnout Shares and $15.00 Earnout Shares (each as defined below), as applicable. Terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the other parts of this Agreement to which this Annex I is a part.

1. 7,000,000 of the Earnout Shares (such number of shares being referred to as the “$12.50 Earnout Shares”) will automatically vest if the Stock Price equals or exceeds $12.50 per share on any twenty (20) Trading Days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period that occurs after the Closing Date and on or prior to the ten (10) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the first occurrence of the foregoing is referred to herein as the “$12.50 Share Price Milestone” and the ten (10) year period following the Closing Date is referred to herein as the “Earnout Period”).

2. 7,000,000 of the Earnout Shares (such number of shares being referred to as the “$15.00 Earnout Shares”), and if not previously vested, all of the $12.50 Earnout Shares, will automatically vest if the Stock Price equals or exceeds $15.00 per share on any twenty (20) Trading Days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period that occurs after the Closing Date and on or prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period (the first occurrence of the foregoing is referred to herein as the “$15.00 Share Price Milestone” and, each of the $15.00 Share Price Milestone and the $12.50 Share Price Milestone, a “Milestone”).

3. Subject to the limitations contemplated herein, each holder of Company Securities as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Earnout Shares, including the right to receive dividends and to vote such shares; provided, that, subject to the vesting provisions of this Annex I, the Earnout Shares shall not entitle the holder thereof to consideration in connection with any sale or other transaction, other than in connection with a Change of Control as set forth below, and may not be Transferred by such holder or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process without the consent of Newco, and shall bear a customary legend with respect to such transfer restrictions; provided, further, that Transfers are permitted to Permitted Transferees who shall (a) be subject to the restrictions in this paragraph 3 as if they were the original holders of such Earnout Shares and (b) promptly transfer such Earnout Shares back to the original holder thereof if they cease to be a Permitted Transferee for any reason prior to the date such Earnout Shares become freely transferable in accordance herewith; provided, further, that any such Permitted Transferee executes and delivers to Newco a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Newco, agreeing to be bound by the restrictions in this paragraph 3. Any attempt to Transfer such Earnout Shares shall be null and void.

4. If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, any holder of Earnout Shares forfeits all or any portion of such holder’s Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards, in accordance with the terms of such Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards, all unvested

Annex 1-1

Earnout Shares issued to such holder with respect to any such Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards shall be deemed to be automatically forfeited to Newco and Newco shall then distribute such Earnout Shares to the other holder of Company Securities as of immediately prior to the Effective Time on a pro rata basis based upon the allocation of Earnout Shares as of the Closing Date (but disregarding any Earnout Shares forfeited by other holders of Earnout Shares with respect to any Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards in accordance herewith).

5. If, upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, the $12.50 Share Price Milestone and/or the $15.00 Share Price Milestone have not occurred, then all Earnout Shares which would vest in connection with such Milestone shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred to Newco and shall be automatically cancelled by Newco and cease to exist. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to such forfeiture, all Earnout Shares shall be entitled to any dividends or distributions made to the holders of Newco Common Stock and shall be entitled to the voting rights generally granted to holders of Newco Common Stock.

6. In the event of occurrence of any Milestone, as soon as practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), Newco shall deliver written notice to the holders of the Earnout Shares as of any such date regarding the vesting of the applicable Earnout Shares.

7. In the event that after the Closing and prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, (i) there is a Change of Control (or a definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control has been entered into prior to expiration of the Earnout Period and such Change of Control is ultimately consummated, even if such consummation occurs after the expiration of the Earnout Period), (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Newco (whether voluntary of involuntary) is initiated, (iii) any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or similar proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceeding, is instituted by or against Newco, or a receiver is appointed for Newco or a substantial part of its assets or properties or (iv) Newco makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions or applies to any Governmental Authority for, or consents or acquiesces to, the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of its assets or properties, then any Milestone that has not previously occurred and the related vesting conditions shall be deemed to have occurred.

2. Insider Letter. VGII, Sponsor and each Insider hereby agree as follows (and Credit Suisse, on its own behalf and as representative of the several Underwriters, hereby consents and agrees to the following):

(a) Voting; Non-Redemption. The Insider Letter provides in Section 1 thereof for certain requirements of Sponsor and the Insiders in respect of Business Combinations (as defined therein), including in respect of voting in favor thereof and forgoing redemption rights in respect thereof. The Transactions constitute a Business Combination and Sponsor and each Insider will comply with its, his or her respective obligations under such Section 1. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, at any duly called meeting of the stockholders of VGII (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of VGII requested by VGII’s board of directors or undertaken as contemplated by the Transactions, Sponsor and each Insider shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause its Ordinary Shares (including, but not limited to, Founder Shares), to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and Sponsor and each Insider shall vote or consent (or cause to be voted or consented), in person or by proxy, all of such shares (i) in favor of the adoption of the Transaction Agreement and approval of the Transactions (and any actions required in furtherance thereof), (ii) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement of VGII or Merger Sub contained in the Transaction Agreement, (iii) in favor of the proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement, and (iv) except as set forth in the Proxy Statement, against the following actions or proposals: (A) any proposal in opposition to approval of the Transaction Agreement or in competition with or materially inconsistent with the Transaction Agreement, (B) except for in connection with the Domestication, any amendment of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of VGII; (C) except for in connection with the Domestication, any change in VGII’s corporate structure or business; or (D) any other action or proposal involving VGII or any of its subsidiaries that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transactions in any material respect or would reasonably be expected to result in any of VGII’s closing conditions or obligations under the Transaction Agreement not being satisfied. Sponsor and each of the Insiders agree not to, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any agreement, commitment or arrangement with any person, the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in this Section 2(a).

(b) Lock-Up. The Insider Letter provides in Section 7 thereof for certain restrictions on Transfer of Founder Shares and Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof until the expiration of certain time periods or the happening of certain prior events. Notwithstanding, and in precedence to, the Insider Letter, from and after the time and date of the Domestication, (i) references in the Insider Letter to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares (including by reference to Units, Founder Shares and Warrants, among other things) shall include the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Class A Shares and Class B Shares in connection with the Domestication, and (ii) 35% of the number of Class B Shares of Sponsor (such shares, together with the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such shares in connection with the Domestication, the “Earn-Out Shares”), as further set forth

under the heading “Number of Earn-Out Shares” on Exhibit A attached hereto opposite Sponsor’s name on such Exhibit (assuming no stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event occurs between the date hereof and the Closing), shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Insider Letter, and shall also be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2(c), and the remaining 65% of such Class B Shares (and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of such shares in connection with the Domestication) and Warrants (and the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon exercise of such Warrants) shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 7 of the Insider Letter for the time periods set forth therein. Earn-Out Shares shall continue to be Earn-Out Shares following their transfer to any permitted transferee under Section 7(c) of the Insider Letter.

(i) With respect to the Earn-Out Shares, the Sponsor agrees that: (i) 50% of such Earn-Out Shares will automatically vest if the Stock Price (as defined below) equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (the “$12.50 Share Price Milestone”) on any 20 Trading Days (as defined below) (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive 30 Trading Day period that occurs after the Closing Date and on or prior to the ten-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earn-Out Period”); and (ii) 50% of such Earn-Out Shares will automatically vest if the Stock Price equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (the “$15.00 Share Price Milestone” and, each of the $15.00 Share Price Milestone and the $12.50 Share Price Milestone, a “Milestone”) for any 20 Trading Days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive 30 Trading Day period that occurs after the Closing Date and on or prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Period.

(ii) Subject to the limitations contemplated herein, the Sponsor shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Continuing Delaware Corporation with respect to the Earn-Out Shares, including the right to receive dividends and to vote such shares; provided, that, subject to the provisions of this Section 2(c), the Earn-Out Shares shall not entitle the Sponsor to consideration in connection with any sale or other transaction, other than in connection with a Change of Control as set forth below, and may not be Transferred by Sponsor or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process without the consent of the Continuing Delaware Corporation, and shall bear a customary legend with respect to such transfer restrictions; provided, further, that Transfers are permitted to Permitted Transferees who shall (A) be subject to the restrictions in this Section 2(c)(ii) as if they were the original holders of such Earn-Out Shares and (B) promptly transfer such Earn-Out Shares back to the Sponsor if they cease to be a Permitted Transferee for any reason prior to the date such Earn-Out Shares become freely transferable in accordance herewith; provided, further, that, any such Permitted Transferee executes and delivers to the Continuing Delaware Corporation a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Continuing Delaware Corporation, agreeing to be bound by the restrictions herein. Any attempt to Transfer such Earn-Out Shares shall be null and void.

(iii) If, upon the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, the $12.50 Share Price Milestone and/or the $15.00 Share Price Milestone have not occurred, then all Earn-Out Shares which would have otherwise vested in connection with such Milestone shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred to the Continuing Delaware Corporation and shall be automatically cancelled by the Continuing Delaware Corporation and cease to exist. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to such forfeiture, all Earn-Out Shares shall be entitled to any dividends or distributions made to the stockholders of the Continuing Delaware Corporation and shall be entitled to the voting rights generally granted to stockholders of the Continuing Delaware Corporation.

(iv) In the event of occurrence of any Milestone, as soon as practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Continuing Delaware Corporation shall deliver written notice thereof to the Sponsor.

(v) In the event that after the Closing and prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, (A) there is a Change of Control (or a definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control has been entered into prior to expiration of the Earn-Out Period and such Change of Control is ultimately consummated, even if such consummation occurs after the expiration of the Earn-Out Period), (B) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Continuing Delaware Corporation (whether voluntary of involuntary) is initiated, (C) any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or similar proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceeding, is instituted by or against the Continuing Delaware Corporation, or a receiver is appointed for the Continuing Delaware Corporation or a substantial part of its assets or properties or (D) the Continuing Delaware Corporation makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions or applies to any Governmental Authority for, or consents or acquiesces to, the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of its assets or properties, then any Milestone that has not previously occurred and the related vesting conditions shall be deemed to have occurred.

(vi) For purposes hereof:

(A) a “Change of Control” means the occurrence in a single transaction or as a result of a series of related transactions, of one or more of the following events: (1) any person or any group of persons acting together which would constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions thereto (a “Group”) (excluding a corporation or other entity owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Continuing Delaware Corporation in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Continuing Delaware Corporation) (x) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Continuing Delaware Corporation representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Continuing Delaware Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities or (y) has or acquires control of the board of directors of the Continuing Delaware Corporation; (2) a merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar business combination transaction involving the Continuing Delaware Corporation, and, immediately after the consummation of such transaction or series of transactions, either (x) the board of directors of the Continuing Delaware Corporation immediately prior to the merger or consolidation does not constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the company surviving the merger or, if the surviving company is a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof, or (y) the voting securities of the Continuing Delaware Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not continue to represent or are not converted into more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the person resulting from such transaction or series of transactions or, if the surviving company is a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof; or (3) the sale, lease or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by the Continuing Delaware Corporation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Continuing Delaware Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than such sale or other disposition by VGII of all or substantially all of the assets of the Continuing Delaware Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to an entity at least a majority of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of the Continuing Delaware Corporation;

(B) “Permitted Transferee” means (1) in the case of an individual, (a) by gift to any person related to the applicable holder by blood, marriage, or domestic relationship (“immediate family”), a charitable organization or a trust or other entity formed for estate planning purposes for the benefit of an immediate family member, (b) by will, intestacy or by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon the death of such individual, or (c) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, or (2) in the case of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, to any stockholder, member, partner or trust beneficiary as part of a distribution, or to any corporation, partnership or other entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the applicable holder;

(C) “Stock Price” means, on any date after the Closing, the volume weighted average price of the shares of Class A Common Stock reported as of such date by Bloomberg, or if not available on Bloomberg, as reported by Morningstar;

(D) “Trading Day” means any day on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are traded and published; and

(E) “Transfer” means the (1) sale or assignment of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, gift, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to, any security, (2) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (1) or (2).

(d) If the Continuing Delaware Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time, after the date hereof effect a subdivision, share or stock split, share or stock dividend, reorganization, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction affecting the outstanding Ordinary Shares or shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable, the number of Earn-Out Shares subject to vesting pursuant to, and the stock price targets set forth in, subsection (i) of Section 2(c), shall be equitably adjusted for such subdivision, share or stock split, share or stock dividend, reorganization, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transactions shall not constitute an event requiring an equitable adjustment hereunder.

3. Working Capital Loans. The Prospectus (as such term is defined in the Underwriting Agreement) permits loans made by the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or any of VGII’s officers or directors (each, a “Lender”), on such terms as to be determined by VGII from time to time, to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination (“Working Capital Loans”). Each of the Insider Letter, the Warrant Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contemplates that up to $1,500,000 of Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the Lender. VGII, Sponsor and each Insider, each on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliates (including the officers and directors of VGII), hereby agrees, and shall take such necessary or appropriate actions so as to ensure, that each and any Working Capital Loan shall be repaid solely in cash, at or prior to the Closing, and that no Working Capital Loan will be converted into warrants or other securities (derivative or otherwise) of VGII, notwithstanding any provisions of the Insider Letter, the Warrant Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.

4. Registration Rights Agreement. Each of VGII, Sponsor, and each Holder hereby agree that the Registration Rights Agreement is being amended and restated in its entirety, and superseded, in connection with the Closing, and until such time as the Closing occurs (or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms), all references in the Registration Rights Agreement to the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period shall mean the period of restriction on Transfer of the Founder Shares set forth in Section 2(b) of this Agreement.

5. Anti-Dilution Adjustment Waiver. Sponsor, who is the holder of at least a majority of the outstanding Class B Shares, hereby waives on behalf of the holders of all Class B Shares, pursuant to and in compliance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of VGII (the “Articles”), any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in Section 17 of the Articles, and any rights to other anti-dilution protections with respect to the Class B Shares (or the shares of Class B Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof in connection with the Domestication), that may result from the PIPE Financing and/or the consummation of the Transactions.

6. Representations and Warranties of Sponsor and the Insiders. Each of Sponsor and each Insider hereby represents and warrants, severally but not jointly, to Grove Collaborative and VGII as follows:

Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned (including by operation of law) without the prior written consent of the Parties.

14. Specific Performance.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

For ease of administration, this single Subscription Agreement is being executed so as to enable each Subscriber identified on the signature page to enter into a Subscription Agreement, severally, but not jointly. The parties agree that (i) this Subscription Agreement shall be treated as if it were a separate agreement with respect to each Subscriber listed on the signature page, as if each Subscriber entity had executed a separate Subscription Agreement naming only itself as

Subscriber, and (ii) no Subscriber listed on the signature page shall have any liability under the Subscription Agreement for the obligations of any Other Subscriber so listed. The decision of Subscriber to purchase the Subscribed Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber or any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Issuer, Grove or any of their respective subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Subscriber or investor or by any agent or employee of any Other Subscriber or investor, and neither Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber or investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and Other Subscribers or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and Other Subscribers or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Subscriber or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), Subscriber hereby agrees, to subscribe for and purchase, and the Issuer hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Subscribed Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the consummation of the Subscription is contingent upon the substantially concurrent occurrence of the closing of the Transactions as further described herein. Each of the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Subscribed Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware public benefit corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

If Subscriber is an

individual, Subscriber has the capacity to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

2.1.2. If Subscriber is not an individual, this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by Subscriber. If Subscriber is an individual, the signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and Subscriber has legal competence and capacity to execute the same. Assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Issuer, this Subscription Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of Subscriber, and is enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

2.1.3. The execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) if Subscriber is not an individual, result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Subscriber that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority and ability of Subscriber to enter into and timely perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement (a “Subscriber Material Adverse Effect”).

2.1.4. Subscriber (i) is (a) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, (b) an Institutional Account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c) and (c) a sophisticated institutional investor, experienced in investing in transactions of the type contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule I, (ii) is acquiring the Subscribed Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if Subscriber is subscribing for the Subscribed Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a qualified institutional buyer, and Subscriber has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations, warranties and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any distribution of the Subscribed Shares in any manner that would violate the securities laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction and (iii) is not acquiring the Subscribed Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information on Schedule I following the signature page hereto).

2.1.5. Subscriber understands that the Subscribed Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Subscribed Shares have not been registered under the

As of the date hereof, the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value, of the Issuer (the “Class A Shares”) are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and are listed for trading on NYSE under the symbol “VGII”. There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened against the Issuer by NYSE or the Commission with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Class A Shares or prohibit or terminate the listing of the Class A Shares on NYSE. The Issuer has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the Class A Shares under the Exchange Act or the listing of the Class A Shares on the NYSE. Following the Redomestication, the Class A Shares are expected to be registered under the Exchange Act and listed for trading on the NYSE or Nasdaq.

2.2.20. Upon consummation of the Transactions, the issued and outstanding Shares will continue to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and will be listed for trading on the NYSE.

3. Settlement Date and Delivery.

3.1. Closing. The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to (but subject to), the consummation of the Transactions (the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”). Upon written notice from (or on behalf of) the Issuer to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date that the Issuer reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transactions to be satisfied (the “Expected Closing Date”), upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 3, Subscriber shall deliver to the Issuer, the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares, (i) no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Expected Closing Date by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice, such funds to be held by the

Issuer in escrow until the Closing, or (ii) on the Closing Date, following Subscriber’s receipt of reasonably acceptable evidence from the Company’s transfer agent showing Subscriber as the owner of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date, to an account specified by the Issuer and as otherwise mutually agreed by Subscriber and the Issuer acting reasonably (“Alternative Settlement Procedures”). For the avoidance of doubt, mutually agreeable Alternative Settlement Procedures shall include, without limitation, Subscriber delivering to the Issuer on the Closing Date the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice against delivery to the undersigned of the Subscribed Shares. On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall issue to Subscriber (or the funds and accounts designated by Subscriber if so designated by Subscriber, or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, the Subscribed Shares, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), which Subscribed Shares, unless otherwise determined by the Issuer, shall be uncertificated, with record ownership reflected only in the register of shareholders of the Issuer and shall, prior to Subscriber delivering the funds on the Closing Date, provide evidence of such issuance from the Issuer’s transfer agent showing Subscriber as the owner of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date. If the Transactions are not consummated within three (3) Business Days after the Expected Closing Date, the Issuer shall promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to an account specified by Subscriber, and the Subscribed Shares shall be cancelled. Notwithstanding such return, (i) a failure to close on the Expected Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Section 3 to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 5 hereof, Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver funds on the new Closing Date to the Issuer following the Issuer’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 3. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Business Day” means any day that, in New York, New York, is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close.

3.2. Conditions to Closing of the Issuer.

The Issuer’s obligations to sell and issue the Subscribed Shares at the Closing are subject to the fulfillment or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) written waiver by the Issuer, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:

3.2.1. Representations and Warranties Correct. The representations and warranties made by Subscriber in Section ‎2.1 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects when made (unless they specifically speak as of another date in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects), and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date (unless they specifically speak as of another date in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) (other than representations and

warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said date, but in each case without giving effect to consummation of the Transactions.

3.2.2. Compliance with Covenants. Subscriber shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by Subscriber at or prior to the Closing, except where the failure of such performance or compliance would not or would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay, or materially impair the ability of Subscriber to consummate the Closing.

3.2.3. Closing of the Transactions. All conditions precedent to each of the Issuer’s and Grove’s obligations to consummate, or cause to be consummated, the Transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof under the Business Combination Agreement (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the consummation of the Transactions, but subject to satisfaction or waiver by such party of such conditions as of the consummation of the Transactions), and the Transactions will be consummated immediately following the Closing.

3.2.4. Legality. There shall not be in force any order, judgment, injunction, decree, writ, stipulation, determination or award, in each case, entered by or with any governmental authority, statute, rule or regulation enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Subscription.

3.3.1. Representations and Warranties Correct. The representations and warranties made by the Issuer in Section ‎2.2 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects when made (unless they specifically speak as of another date in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Issuer Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects), and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date (unless they specifically speak as of another date in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Issuer Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and as of said date, but in each case without giving effect to consummation of the Transactions.

3.3.2. Compliance with Covenants. The Issuer shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Issuer at or prior to the Closing, except where the failure of such performance or compliance would not or would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay, or materially impair the ability of the Issuer to consummate the Closing.

3.3.3. Closing of the Transactions. All conditions precedent to the consummation of the Transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof under the Business Combination Agreement (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the consummation of the Transactions, but subject to satisfaction or waiver by such party of such conditions as of the consummation of the Transactions), and the Transactions will be consummated immediately following the Closing.

3.3.4. Legality. There shall not be in force any order, judgment, injunction, decree, writ, stipulation, determination or award, in each case, entered by or with any governmental authority, statute, rule or regulation enjoining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement or the Transactions and no such governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition.

3.3.5. Amendment of Business Combination Agreement. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement shall not have been amended in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that Subscriber (in its capacity as such) would reasonably expect to receive under this Subscription Agreement unless Subscriber has consented in writing to such amendment.

3.3.6. Listing. No suspension of the qualification of the Common Shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction, and no suspension or removal from listing of the Common Shares on the NYSE or Nasdaq, and no initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or delisting, shall have occurred, and the Subscribed Shares shall be approved for listing on the NYSE or Nasdaq, as applicable, subject to official notice of issuance.

3.3.7. Amendment of Other Subscription Agreements. There shall have been no amendment, waiver or modification to the Other Subscription Agreements (including via side letter or other agreement) that materially economically benefits the Other Subscribers thereunder unless the Subscriber has been offered the same benefits.

4. Registration Statement.

4.1. The Issuer agrees that, within twenty (20) business days after the consummation of the Transactions (the “Filing Date”), the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares (the “Registrable Securities”), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared

effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the 5th Business Day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing a completed and executed selling shareholders questionnaire in customary form to the Issuer that contains the information required by Commission rules for a Registration Statement regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement, if applicable, as permitted hereunder; provided, that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section ‎4. For purposes of this Section ‎4, Registrable Securities shall include, as of any date of determination, the Subscribed Shares and any other equity security of the Issuer issued or issuable with respect to the Subscribed Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise and “Subscriber” shall include any person to which the rights under this Section 4 shall have been duly assigned. The Issuer will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission and consented to by the Subscriber. If the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the Subscribed Shares proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscribed Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the Commission and (ii) the number of Subscribed Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders; and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Subscribed Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Issuer shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such Subscribed Shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable.

4.2. In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Issuer shall:

4.2.1. except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Registrable Securities and (ii) the date all Registrable Securities held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable); provided, that for as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Subscribed Shares.

4.2.2. advise Subscriber, as promptly as practicable but in any event within five (5) Business Days:

(a) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(b) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(c) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(d) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(e) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a

prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer or subject the Subscriber to any duty of confidentiality;

4.2.3. use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

4.2.4. upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section ‎4.2.2(d), except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

4.2.5. use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Issuer’s common stock is then listed.

4.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, (i) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement following the filing of the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, or (ii) if the filing, effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement would require the Issuer to make any public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure, in the good faith determination of the board of directors of the Issuer, after consultation with counsel to the Issuer, (a) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement in order for the applicable Registration Statement not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, (b) would not be required to be made at such time if the Registration Statement were not being filed, and (c) the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case, during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Issuer and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related

prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Issuer and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality). If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

4.4. Subscriber may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with Section 6.3 (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by Section 4.3; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Issuer in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 4.4) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability (which notices shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Issuer and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality).

4.5. The parties agree that:

4.5.1. The Issuer shall, notwithstanding the termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, shareholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each Subscriber, each person who controls such Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, agents, affiliates,

employees and investment advisers of each such controlling from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or incorporated by reference therein), prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Issuer of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 4, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section ‎4.5 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Issuer be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Subscriber expressly for use in such Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Issuer in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by the Issuer, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section ‎4.3 hereof. The Issuer shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section ‎4 of which the Issuer is aware.

4.5.2. Subscriber agrees, severally and not jointly with any person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Issuer, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any and all Losses, as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arising out of or relating to any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section ‎4.5 shall

not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

4.5.3. Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.5.4. The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

4.5.5. If the indemnification provided under this Section ‎4.5 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent,

knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section ‎4.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such contribution obligation.

5. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (i) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement and (iii) at the election of Subscriber after July 31, 2022 if the Closing shall not have occurred; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Issuer shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination hereof in accordance with this Section 5, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Issuer in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (3) Business Days) be returned in full to Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, without any deduction for or on account of any tax withholding, charges or set-off, whether or not the Transaction shall have been consummated.

6. Miscellaneous.

6.1. Further Assurances. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the Subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

6.1.1. Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Issuer and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by Subscriber set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. The Issuer acknowledges that Subscriber will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Issuer contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Issuer agrees to promptly notify Subscriber if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations

and warranties made by Issuer set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Issuer shall notify Subscriber if they are no longer accurate in any respect).

6.1.2. Each of the Issuer, Subscriber and each of the Placement Agents is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

6.1.3. The Issuer may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Issuer may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent within Subscriber’s possession and control or otherwise readily available to Subscriber, provided that the Issuer agrees to keep confidential any such information provided by Subscriber.

6.1.4. Each of Subscriber and the Issuer shall pay all of its own respective expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein (it being agreed that all expenses related to the Registration Statement are for the account of the Issuer to the extent provided in Section 4, and the Issuer shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all of DTC’s fees associated with the issuance of the Subscribed Shares).

6.1.5. Each of Subscriber and the Issuer shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement on the terms and conditions described therein no later than immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions.

6.2. Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except in respect of any stock lending program, it will not, nor will any person acting at Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates), directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option in, or engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) with respect to, any Subscribed Shares or any securities of the Issuer or any instrument exchangeable for or convertible into any Subscribed Shares or any securities of the Issuer until the consummation of the Transactions (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms).

6.4. Entire Agreement.

6.5. Modifications and Amendments. This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is sought and also signed by Grove.

6.6. Assignment. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations that may accrue to the parties hereunder (other than the Subscribed Shares acquired hereunder and the rights set forth in Section 4) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the Subscriber, Issuer and Grove; provided that all or a portion of Subscriber’s rights and obligations hereunder (including Subscriber’s rights to purchase the Subscribed Shares) may be assigned to one or more of its affiliates (including any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber), or by an affiliate of such investment manager, without the prior consent of the Issuer, provided that such assignee(s) agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof, and upon such assignment by a Subscriber, the assignee(s) shall become Subscriber hereunder and have the rights and obligations and be deemed to make the representations and warranties of Subscriber provided for herein to the extent of such assignment; provided further that, no assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder, including any assignment to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber.

6.7. Benefit. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

6.8. Governing Law. This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

6.9. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided that if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the legal proceeding is vested exclusively in the U.S. federal courts, such legal proceeding shall be heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (together with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, “Chosen Courts”), in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Subscription Agreement. Each party hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any legal dispute, that (i) such person is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason, (ii) such legal proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts, (iii) such person’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (iv) such legal proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or (v) the venue of such legal proceeding is improper. Each party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, further consents to service of process by

nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section ‎6.3 and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section ‎6.9, a party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the Chosen Courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by the Chosen Courts. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

6.10. Severability. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

6.11. No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

6.12. Remedies.

6.12.1. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if this Subscription Agreement is not performed or the Closing is not consummated in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in

Section ‎6.9, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the parties hereto to cause the other parties hereto to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The parties hereto further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section ‎6.12 is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.12.2. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section ‎6.12 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Subscription Agreement.

6.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto, and all covenants and other agreements of the parties hereto, in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

6.14. Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

6.15. Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

6.16. Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. All references in this Subscription Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like occurring after the date hereof.

6.17. Mutual Drafting. This Subscription Agreement is the joint product of the parties hereto and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

7. Cleansing Statement; Disclosure.

7.1. The Issuer shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the date of this Subscription Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Other Subscription Agreements and the Transactions and any other material nonpublic information that the Issuer or its officers, directors, employees or agents has provided to Subscriber prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the actual knowledge of the Issuer, Subscriber shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Issuer or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, and Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, with the Issuer, the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

7.2. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Issuer shall not (and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and agents not to) publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any affiliate or investment adviser of Subscriber, or include the name of Subscriber or any affiliate or investment adviser of Subscriber without the prior written consent (including by e-mail) of Subscriber (i) in any press release or marketing materials, or (ii) in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or trading market, except as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations and to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under regulations of the NYSE, in which case the Issuer shall provide Subscriber with prior written notice (including by e-mail) of such permitted disclosure, and shall reasonably consult with Subscriber regarding such disclosure.

8. Trust Account Waiver. In addition to the waiver of the Issuer pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Business Combination Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each of the Issuer and Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer has established a trust account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering and from certain private placements (collectively, with interest accrued from time to time thereon, the “Trust Account”). Each of the Issuer and Subscriber agrees that (i) it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and (ii) it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, in each case in connection with this Subscription Agreement, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have in connection with this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section ‎8 shall be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Issuer. In the event Subscriber has any Claim against the Issuer under this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber shall pursue

such Claim solely against the Issuer and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and has been specifically relied upon by the Issuer to induce the Issuer to enter into this Subscription Agreement and Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable under applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the terms of this Section 8 apply to any money or other assets held outside the Trust Account.

9. Non-Reliance. Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation, other than the representations and warranties of the Issuer expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer. Subscriber agrees that no Other Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement related to the private placement of shares of the Issuer’s capital stock (including the controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees of any such Subscriber) shall be liable to any Other Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement related to the private placement of shares of the Issuer’s capital stock for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Subscribed Shares hereunder.

10. Rule 144. From and after such time as the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may allow Subscriber to sell securities of the Issuer to the public without registration are available to holders of the Issuer’s shares of common stock and for so long as Subscriber holds the Subscribed Shares, the Issuer agrees to:

10.1. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and

10.2. file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Issuer under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Issuer remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

10.3. furnish to Subscriber so long as it owns Subscribed Shares, as promptly as practicable upon request, (x) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and (y) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Subscriber to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

The Issuer shall, if requested by the Subscriber (i) cause the removal of any restrictive legend related to compliance with the federal securities laws set forth on the Subscribed Shares, (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) to the effect that removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected in compliance under the Securities Act, and (iii) issue Subscribed Shares without any such legend in certificated or book-entry form or by electronic delivery through The Depository Trust Company, at the Subscriber’s option, within two (2) Business

Days of such request, if (A) such Subscribed Shares may be sold by the Subscriber without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, or (B) the Subscriber has sold or transferred Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or in compliance with Rule 144. The Issuer’s obligation to remove legends under this paragraph may be conditioned upon the Subscriber providing such representations and documentation (including broker representation letters) as are reasonably necessary and customarily required in connection with the removal of restrictive legends related to compliance with the federal securities laws.

11. Massachusetts Business Trust. If Subscriber is a Massachusetts Business Trust, a copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of Subscriber or any affiliate thereof is on file with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and notice is hereby given that the Subscription Agreement is executed on behalf of the trustees of Subscriber or any affiliate thereof as trustees and not individually and that the obligations of the Subscription Agreement are not binding on any of the trustees, officers or stockholders of Subscriber or any affiliate thereof individually but are binding only upon Subscriber or any affiliate thereof and its assets and property.

II, a Cayman Islands corporation (“Parent”), (ii) Grove Collaborative, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Company”), and (iii) the undersigned Company stockholders (the “Company Stockholders” and each a “Company Stockholder”).

WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent and the Company, and the other persons party thereto, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), whereby the parties intend to effect a business combination between Parent and the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (collectively, the “Transactions”) (capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Transaction Agreement).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions. As used herein, the term “Voting Shares” shall mean all securities of the Company beneficially owned (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, excluding shares of stock underlying unexercised options or warrants, but including any shares of stock acquired upon exercise of such options or warrants) (“Beneficially Owned”) by any Company Stockholder, including any and all securities of the Company acquired and held in such capacity subsequent to the date hereof. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Agreement.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company Stockholders. Each Company Stockholder on its own behalf hereby represents and warrants to the other parties hereto, severally and not jointly, with respect to such Company Stockholder (and not as to any other Person) and such Company Stockholder’s ownership of its Voting Shares:

(a) Authority. If Company Stockholder is a legal entity, Company Stockholder is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (where applicable) under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, organized or constituted, and has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform fully Company Stockholder’s obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If Company Stockholder is a natural person, Company Stockholder has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. If Company Stockholder is a legal entity, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Company Stockholder. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Company Stockholder enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(b) No Consent. No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person on the part of Company Stockholder is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions or that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay Company Stockholder from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement. If Company Stockholder is a natural person, no consent of such Company Stockholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other Laws for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. If Company Stockholder is a trust, no consent of any beneficiary is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance with the terms hereof, will violate, conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision of, Company Stockholder’s organizational documents, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, notice, decree, statute, Law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Company Stockholder or to Company Stockholder’s property or assets (including the Voting Shares) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Transactions or that would reasonably be expected to prevent Company Stockholder from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement.

The Lock-up Shares shall carry appropriate legends indicating the restrictions on Transfer imposed by this Section 7, including as required by Section 151(f) of the DGCL in respect to uncertificated stock.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 7(a), the Company Stockholders or their respective Permitted Transferees may Transfer the Lock-up Shares during the Lock-up Period to any Permitted Transferee (with such definition applying mutatis mutandis to the Lock-up Shares as if set forth fully herein), provided that any shares of common stock issued upon exercise of option or other rights pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of Permitted Transferee shall remain subject to the terms of this Section 7; provided, however, that, in the case

of clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of Permitted Transferee, such transferees shall enter into a written agreement with Newco agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth herein; and provided, further, with respect to clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of Permitted Transferee, that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value.

Nothing in this Agreement will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by a Company Stockholder in his, her or its capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and no actions or omissions taken in any Company Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict a Company Stockholder from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as an officer or director to the Company or its stockholders, as applicable.

10. Specific Enforcement.

Further, each party hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity and agrees that a party’s rights would be materially and adversely affected if the obligations of the other parties under this Agreement were not carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

Section 2. Registration Rights.

2.1. Demand Registrations.

(a) (i) As soon as practicable but no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the closing of the Merger (the “Filing Date”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act (such registration statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two business days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof and no later than the earlier of (x) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the Filing Date if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Shelf Registration Statement and (y) the tenth (10th) business day after the date the Company is notified in writing by the SEC that such Shelf Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit all Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert such Shelf Registration Statement to a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.

(ii) Subject to Section 2.1(c) and the provisions below with respect to the Minimum Threshold, following the expiration of any applicable lock-up agreement, each Holder (or Holders) shall have the right at any time and from time to time to elect to sell all or any part of its Registrable Securities pursuant to an underwritten offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement by delivering a written request therefor to the Company specifying the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and the intended method of distribution thereof. The Holder or Holders shall make such election by delivering to the Company a written request (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”) for such underwritten offering specifying the number of Registrable Securities that the Holder or Holders desire to sell pursuant to such underwritten offering (the “Shelf Underwriting”). With respect to any Shelf Underwriting Request, the Holder or Holders making such demand shall be referred to as the “Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders”. As promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request, the Company shall give written notice (the “Shelf Underwriting Notice”) of such Shelf Underwriting Request to the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). The Company, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.6, shall include in such Shelf Underwriting (x) the Registrable Securities of the Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such Shelf Underwriting (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed

of by such Holder) within five (5) days after the receipt of the Shelf Underwriting Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request), but subject to Section 2.1(b), use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Shelf Underwriting. The Company shall, at the request of any Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holder or any other Holder of Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement, file any prospectus supplement or, if the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement, any post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders or any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities to effect such Shelf Underwriting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(a)(ii), each Shelf Underwriting must include, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities having an aggregate market value of at least the Minimum Threshold (based on the Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Underwriting by all Participating Holders). In connection with any Shelf Underwriting (including an Underwritten Block Trade), the Company shall have the right to designate the Manager and each other managing underwriter in connection with any such Shelf Underwriting or Underwritten Block Trade, subject to Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders’ reasonable approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holder wishes to engage in an underwritten block trade or similar transaction or other transaction with a 2-day or less marketing period (collectively, “Underwritten Block Trade”) off of a Shelf Registration Statement, then notwithstanding the foregoing time periods, such Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Underwritten Block Trade two (2) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities shall not be entitled to notice of such Underwritten Block Trade and shall not be entitled to participate in such Underwritten Block Trade.

(b) (i) At any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date that a Shelf Registration Statement as required by Section 2.1(a) is not available for use by the Holders (a “Demand Registration Period”) other than pursuant to Section 2.1(c), subject to this Section 2.1(b) and Sections 2.1(c) and 2.3) and the provisions below with respect to the Minimum Threshold, at any time and from time to time during such Demand Registration Period, each Initiating Holder (or Initiating Holders) shall have the right to require the Company to effect one or more registration statements under the Securities Act covering all or any part of its Registrable Securities by delivering a written request therefor to the Company specifying the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and the intended method of distribution thereof. Any such request by any Initiating Holder or Initiating Holders pursuant to this Section 2.1(b)(i) is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration Request,” and the registration so requested is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”. Subject to Section 2.1(c), the Initiating Holders shall be entitled to request (and the Company shall be required to effect) an unlimited number of Demand Registrations. The Company shall give written notice (the “Demand Exercise Notice”) of such Demand Registration Request to each of the Holders of record of Registrable Securities in accordance with Section 2.2, and, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.6, shall include in a Demand Registration (x) the Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holders and (y) the Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such registration pursuant to Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(b)(i), each Demand Registration must include, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities having an aggregate market value of at least the Minimum Threshold (based on the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration by all

Holders participating in such Demand Registration). In connection with any Demand Registration, the Company shall have the right to designate the Manager and each other managing underwriter in connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to such registration, subject to the Initiating Holders’ reasonable approval; provided that in each case, each such underwriter is reasonably satisfactory to the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(ii) The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, but subject to Section 2.1(c), use its reasonable best efforts to (x) file or confidentially submit with the SEC (no later than (A) sixty (60) days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form S-1 or similar long-form registration and or (B) thirty (30) days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration), (y) cause to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable such registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register for distribution in accordance with the intended method of distribution, and (z) if requested by the Initiating Holders, obtain acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), the Shelf Underwriting and Demand Registration rights granted in Section 2.1 (a) and Section 2.1(b) are subject to the following limitations: (i) the Company shall not be required to cause a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1(b) to be declared effective within a period of ninety (90) days after the effective date of any other registration statement of the Company filed pursuant to the Securities Act (other than a Form S-4, Form S-8 or a comparable form or an equivalent registration form then in effect); (ii) the Company shall not be required to effect more than three (3) Demand Registrations on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement at the request of the Holders in the aggregate; (iii) if the Board, in its good faith judgment, determines that any registration of Registrable Securities or Shelf Underwriting should not be made or continued because it would materially and adversely interfere with any existing or potential financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger, share exchange or other transaction or event involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or would otherwise result in the public disclosure of information that the Board in good faith has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential (a “Valid Business Reason”), then (x) the Company may postpone filing or confidentially submitting a registration statement relating to a Demand Registration Request or a prospectus supplement relating to a Shelf Underwriting Request until five (5) Business Days after such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than forty-five (45) days after the date the Board determines a Valid Business Reason exists or (y) if a registration statement has been filed or confidentially submitted relating to a Demand Registration Request or a prospectus supplement has been filed relating to a Shelf Underwriting Request, the Company may, to the extent determined in the good faith judgment of the Board to be reasonably necessary to avoid interference with any of the transactions described above, suspend use of or, if required by the SEC, cause such registration statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may postpone amending or supplementing such registration statement until five (5) Business Days after such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than forty-five (45) days after the date the Board determines a Valid Business Reason exists (such period of postponement or withdrawal under this clause (iv), the “Postponement Period”). The Company shall give written notice to the Initiating Holders or Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders and any

other Holders that have requested registration pursuant to Section 2.2 of its determination to postpone or suspend use of or withdraw a registration statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or suspension or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to more than two (2) Postponement Periods during any twelve (12) month period.

Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company that the Company has determined to suspend use of, withdraw, terminate or postpone amending or supplementing any registration statement pursuant to clause (c)(iii) above, such Holder will discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. If the Company shall have suspended use of, withdrawn or terminated a registration statement filed under Section 2.1(b)(i) (whether pursuant to clause (c)(iii) above or as a result of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court), the Company shall not be considered to have effected a Demand Registration for the purposes of this Agreement and such request shall not count as a Demand Registration Request under this Agreement until the Company shall have permitted use of such suspended registration statement or filed a new registration statement covering the Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn or terminated registration statement and such registration statement shall have been declared effective and shall not have been withdrawn. If the Company shall give any notice of suspension, withdrawal or postponement of a registration statement, the Company shall, not later than five (5) Business Days after the Valid Business Reason that caused such suspension, withdrawal or postponement no longer exists (but, with respect to a suspension, withdrawal or postponement pursuant to clause (c)(iii) above, in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the date of the suspension, postponement or withdrawal), as applicable, permit use of such suspended registration statement or use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn or postponed registration statement in accordance with this Section 2.1 (unless the Initiating Holders or Shelf Underwriting Initiating Holders shall have withdrawn such request, in which case the Company shall not be considered to have effected a Demand Registration for the purposes of this Agreement and such request shall not count as a Demand Registration Request under this Agreement), and following such permission or such effectiveness such registration shall no longer be deemed to be suspended, withdrawn or postponed pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 2.1(c) above.

(d) No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of Section 2.1(b) (i) if the registration statement relating thereto (x) does not become effective, (y) is not maintained effective for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date thereof or such shorter period during which all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have actually been sold (provided, however, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder of Registrable Securities refrains from selling any securities included in such Registration Statement at the request of the Company or an underwriter of the Company), or (z) is subject to a stop order, injunction, or similar order or requirement of the SEC during such period, (ii) for each Initiating Holder, if less than seventy five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested by such Initiating Holder to be included in such Demand Registration are not so included pursuant to Section 2.3, (iii) if the method of disposition is a firm commitment underwritten public offering and less than seventy five percent (75%) of the applicable Registrable Securities have not been sold pursuant thereto (excluding any

Registrable Securities included for sale in the underwriters’ overallotment option) or (iv) if the conditions to closing specified in any underwriting agreement, purchase agreement or similar agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a default or breach thereunder by such Initiating Holder(s) or its Affiliates or are otherwise waived by such Initiating Holder(s)).

(e) Any Initiating Holder may withdraw or revoke a Demand Registration Request delivered by such Initiating Holder at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Demand Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such withdrawal or revocation and such Demand Registration shall have no further force or effect and such request shall not count as a Demand Registration Request under this Agreement.

2.2. Piggyback Registrations.

(a) If the Company proposes or is required to register any of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of any other shareholder under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar successor forms thereto), the Company shall give written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) of its intention to do so to each of the Holders of record of Registrable Securities, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay any Piggyback Notice until after filing a registration statement, so long as all recipients of such notice have the same amount of time to determine whether to participate in an offering as they would have had if such notice had not been so delayed. Upon the written request of any such Holder, made within five (5) days following the receipt of any such Piggyback Notice (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of distribution thereof), the Company shall, subject to Sections 2.2(c), 2.3 and 2.6 hereof, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities, the Holders of which have so requested the registration thereof, to be registered under the Securities Act with the securities which the Company at the time proposes to register to permit the sale or other disposition by the Holders (in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof) of the Registrable Securities to be so registered, including, if necessary, by filing with the SEC a post-effective amendment or a supplement to the registration statement filed by the Company or the prospectus related thereto. There is no limitation on the number of such piggyback registrations which the Company is obligated to effect pursuant to the preceding sentence. No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 2.2(a) shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect Demand Registrations under Section 2.1 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.2 shall not apply to any Underwritten Block Trade.

(b) Other than in connection with a Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwriting, at any time after giving a Piggyback Notice and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, if the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to all Holders of record of Registrable Securities and (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such abandoned registration, without prejudice, however, to the rights of Holders under Section 2.1, and (y) in the case of a

determination to delay such registration of its equity securities, shall be permitted to delay the registration of such Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other equity securities.

(c) Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided, however, that such request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of the execution by such Holder of the underwriting agreement or the execution by such Holder of the custody agreement with respect to such registration or as otherwise required by the underwriters.

2.3. Allocation of Securities Included in Registration Statement.

(a) If any requested registration or offering made pursuant to Section 2.1 (including a Shelf Underwriting) involves an underwritten offering and the Manager of such offering shall advise the Company in good faith that, in its view, the number of securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering by the Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company or any other Persons exercising contractual registration rights (“Additional Piggyback Rights”) exceeds the largest number of securities (the “Section 2.3(a) Sale Number”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such underwritten offering within a price range acceptable to the Initiating Holders and the Majority Participating Holders, the Company shall include in such underwritten offering:

(i) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering by the Holders thereof (including pursuant to the exercise of piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2); provided, however, that if the number of such Registrable Securities exceeds the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number, the number of such Registrable Securities (not to exceed the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number) to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Holders (including each Initiating Holder) requesting that Registrable Securities be included in such underwritten offering (including pursuant to the exercise of piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2), based on the number of Registrable Securities then owned by each such Holder requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Holders requesting inclusion; and

(ii) second, to the extent that the number of Registrable Securities to be included pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.3(a) is less than the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number, any securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account, up to the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number; and (iii) third, to the extent that the number of securities to be included pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.3(a) is less than the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number, the remaining securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Persons other than Holders requesting that securities be included in such underwritten offering pursuant to the exercise of Additional Piggyback Rights (“Piggyback Shares”), based on the aggregate number of Piggyback Shares then owned by each Person requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Piggyback Shares owned by all Persons requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number.

(b) If any registration or offering made pursuant to Section 2.2 involves an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company and the Manager shall advise the Company that, in its view, the number of securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering by the Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company or any other Persons exercising Additional Piggyback Rights exceeds the largest number of securities (the “Section 2.3(b) Sale Number”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such underwritten offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such underwritten offering:

(i) first, all equity securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account; and

(ii) second, to the extent that the number of securities to be included pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.3(b) is less than the Section 2.3(b) Sale Number, the remaining Registrable Securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Holders requesting that Registrable Securities be included in such underwritten offering pursuant to the exercise of piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2(a), based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities then owned by each such Holder requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Holders requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(b) Sale Number; and (iii) third, to the extent that the number of securities to be included pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.3(b) is less than the Section 2.3(b) Sale Number, the remaining securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Persons requesting that Piggyback Shares be included in such underwritten offering pursuant to the exercise of Additional Piggyback Rights, based on the aggregate number of Piggyback Shares then owned by each Person requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Piggyback Shares owned by all Persons requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(b) Sale Number.

(c) If any registration pursuant to Section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering that was initially requested by any Person(s) (other than a Holder) to whom the Company has granted registration rights which are not inconsistent with the rights granted in, and do not otherwise conflict with the terms of, this Agreement and the Manager shall advise the Company that, in its view, the number of securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering exceeds the largest number of securities (the “Section 2.3(c) Sale Number”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such underwritten offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such underwritten offering:

(i) first, the shares requested to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among such Person(s) requesting the registration and all Holders requesting that Registrable Securities be included in such underwritten offering pursuant to the exercise of piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2(a), based on the aggregate number of securities or Registrable Securities, as applicable, then owned by each of the foregoing requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of securities or Registrable Securities, as applicable, owned by all such Persons and Holders requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(c) Sale Number; and

(ii) second, to the extent that the number of securities to be included pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.3(c) is less than the Section 2.3(c) Sale Number, the

remaining securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among all Persons requesting that Piggyback Shares be included in such underwritten offering pursuant to the exercise of Additional Piggyback Rights, based on the aggregate number of Piggyback Shares then owned by each Person requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Piggyback Shares owned by all Persons requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(c) Sale Number; and (iii) third, to the extent that the number of securities to be included pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.3(c) is less than the Section 2.3(c) Sale Number, any equity securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account, up to the Section 2.3(c) Sale Number.

(d) If, as a result of the proration provisions set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 2.3, any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that such Holder has requested be included, such Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable Securities in the registration to which such underwritten offering relates or may reduce the number requested to be included; provided, however, that (x) such request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of such Holder’s execution of the underwriting agreement or such Holder’s execution of the custody agreement with respect to such registration and (y) such withdrawal or reduction shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal or reduction, such Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the registration as to which such withdrawal or reduction was made to the extent of the Registrable Securities so withdrawn or reduced.

2.4. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Agreement to effect or cause the registration of and/or participate in any offering or sale of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Agreement (or use reasonable best efforts to accomplish the same), the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

(a) prepare and file all filings with the SEC and FINRA as soon as practicable required for the consummation of the offering, including preparing and filing with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate registration form of the SEC for the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, which registration form (i) shall be selected by the Company (except as provided for in a Demand Registration Request) and (ii) shall, in the case of a shelf registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the selling Holders thereof and such registration statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable registration form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and remain continuously effective for such period as required by this Agreement (provided, however, that as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or comparable statements under securities or state “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction, or any free writing prospectus related thereto, the Company will furnish to the Holders participating in the planned offering and to the Manager, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including all exhibits thereto), which documents will be subject to their reasonable review and reasonable comment and the Company shall not file any registration statement or amendment thereto, any prospectus or supplement thereto or any free writing prospectus related thereto to which the Initiating Holders, the Majority Participating

Holders or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to file any document with the SEC which in the view of the Company or its counsel contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading;

(c) furnish, without charge, to each Participating Holder and each underwriter, if any, of the securities covered by such registration statement such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, each free writing prospectus utilized in connection therewith, in each case, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and other documents, as such seller and underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (the Company hereby consenting to the use in accordance with all applicable laws of each such registration statement (or amendment or post-effective amendment thereto) and each such prospectus (or preliminary prospectus or supplement thereto) or free writing prospectus by each such Participating Holder and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement or prospectus);

(d) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or state “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any sellers of Registrable Securities or any managing underwriter, if any, shall reasonably request in writing, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such sellers or underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions (including keeping such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect), except that in no event shall the Company be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it would not, but for the requirements of this paragraph (d), be required to be so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e) promptly notify each Participating Holder and each managing underwriter, if any: (i) when the registration statement, any pre-effective amendment, the prospectus or any

(f) comply (and continue to comply) with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (including maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) in accordance with the Exchange Act), and make generally available to its security holders (including by way of filings with the SEC), as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the registration statement (and in any event within forty-five (45) days, or ninety (90) days if it is a fiscal year, after the end of such twelve month period described hereafter), an earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering the period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first calendar quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

(g) (i) (A) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on the principal securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (B) if no similar securities are then so listed, use its reasonable best efforts to either cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on a national securities exchange or to secure designation of all such Registrable Securities as a New York Stock Exchange “national market system security” within the meaning of Rule 11Aa2-1 of the Exchange Act or, failing that, secure New York Stock Exchange authorization for such shares and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, take all actions that may be required by the

Company as the issuer of such Registrable Securities in order to facilitate the managing underwriter’s arranging for the registration of at least two market makers as such with respect to such shares with FINRA, and (ii) comply (and continue to comply) with the requirements of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Company, including all corporate governance requirements;

(k) use its reasonable best efforts (i) to obtain opinions from the Company’s counsel, including local and/or regulatory counsel, and a “comfort” letter and updates thereof from the independent public accountants who have certified the financial statements of the Company (and/or any other financial statements) included or incorporated by reference in such registration statement, in each case, in customary form and covering such matters as are customarily covered by such opinions and “comfort” letters (including, in the case of such “comfort” letter, events subsequent to the date of such financial statements) delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings, which opinions and letters shall be dated the dates such opinions and “comfort” letters are customarily dated and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) furnish to each Participating Holder and to each underwriter, if any, a copy of such opinions and letters addressed to such underwriter;

(l) deliver promptly to counsel for the Majority Participating Holders and to each managing underwriter, if any, copies of all correspondence between the SEC and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to the registration statement, and, upon receipt of such confidentiality agreements as the Company may reasonably request, make reasonably available for inspection by counsel for the Majority Participating Holders, by counsel for any underwriter participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Majority Participating Holders or any such underwriter, during regular business hours, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and

(p) promptly prior to the filing of any document which is to be incorporated by reference into the registration statement or the prospectus (after the initial filing or confidential submission of such registration statement), and prior to the filing or use of any free writing prospectus, provide copies of such document to counsel for the Majority Participating Holders and to each managing underwriter, if any, and make the Company’s representatives reasonably available for discussion of such document and make such changes in such document concerning the information regarding the Participating Holders contained therein prior to the filing thereof as counsel for the Majority Participating Holders or underwriters may reasonably request (provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to file or confidentially submit any document with the SEC which in the view of the Company or its counsel contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading);

(q) furnish to counsel for the Majority Participating Holders and to each managing underwriter, without charge, upon request, at least one conformed copy of the registration statement and any post-effective amendments or supplements thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, the prospectus contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), any other prospectus and prospectus supplement filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference) and any free writing prospectus utilized in connection therewith;

(r) cooperate with the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive legends representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, and cause such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names in accordance with the underwriting agreement at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters or, if not an underwritten offering, in accordance with the instructions of the

Participating Holders at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities and instruct any transfer agent and registrar of Registrable Securities to release any stop transfer orders in respect thereof (and, in the case of Registrable Securities registered on a Shelf Registration Statement, at the request of any Holder, prepare and deliver certificates representing such Registrable Securities not bearing any restrictive legends and deliver or cause to be delivered an opinion or instructions to the transfer agent in order to allow such Registrable Securities to be sold from time to time);

(s) include in any prospectus or prospectus supplement if requested by any managing underwriter updated financial or business information for the Company’s most recent period or current quarterly period (including estimated results or ranges of results) if required for purposes of marketing the offering in the view of the managing underwriter;

(t) take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that to the extent that any prohibition is applicable to the Company, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to make any such prohibition inapplicable;

(u) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Participating Holders or the underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(v) take all such other commercially reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(w) take all reasonable action to ensure that any free writing prospectus utilized in connection with any registration covered by Section 2.1 or 2.2 complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, prospectus supplement and related documents, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(x) in connection with any underwritten offering, if at any time the information conveyed to a purchaser at the time of sale includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, promptly file with the SEC such amendments or supplements to such information as may be necessary so that the statements as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances, be misleading;

(y) to the extent required by the rules and regulations of FINRA, retain a Qualified Independent Underwriter acceptable to the managing underwriter; and

(z) use reasonable best efforts, in good faith,to cooperate with the managing underwriters, Participating Holders, any indemnitee of the Company and their respective counsel

in connection with the preparation and filing of any applications, notices, registrations and responses to requests for additional information with FINRA, Nasdaq, or any other national securities exchange on which the shares of Class A Common Stock are listed.

To the extent the Company is a WKSI at the time any Demand Registration Request is submitted to the Company, the Company shall file an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (an “automatic shelf registration statement”) on Form S-3 which covers those Registrable Securities which are requested to be registered. The Company shall not take any action that would result in it not remaining a WKSI or would result in it becoming an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) during the period during which such automatic shelf registration statement is required to remain effective. If the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time the automatic shelf registration statement is filed, the Company agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold in compliance with the SEC rules. If the automatic shelf registration statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at or prior to the end of the third year the Company shall refile a new automatic shelf registration statement covering the Registrable Securities. If at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to refile the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 and keep such registration statement effective during the period which such registration statement is required to be kept effective.

If the Company files any shelf registration statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, and the Holders do not request that their Registrable Securities be included in such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company agrees that it shall include in such registration statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the Holders) in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such shelf registration statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.

The Company may require as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligations under this Section 2.4 that each Participating Holder as to which any registration is being effected (i) furnish the Company such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request (including as required under state securities laws), provided that such information is necessary for the Company to consummate such registration and shall be used only in connection with such registration and (ii) provide any underwriters participating in the distribution of such securities such information as the underwriters may request and execute and deliver any agreements, certificates or other documents as the underwriters may request.

Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in clause (v) of paragraph (e) of this Section 2.4, such Holder will discontinue such Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by paragraph (e) of this Section 2.4 and, if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company (at the

Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was in effect at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the applicable period mentioned in paragraph (b) of this Section 2.4 shall be extended by the number of days during such period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each Participating Holder covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by paragraph (e) of this Section 2.4.

The Company agrees not to file or make any amendment to any registration statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, or any free writing prospectus, which amendment refers to any Holder covered thereby by name, or otherwise identifies such Holder, without the consent of such Holder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such disclosure is required by law, in which case the Company shall provide written notice to such Holders no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing.

2.5. Registration Expenses.

(a) The Company shall pay all Expenses with respect to any registration or offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, whether or not a registration statement becomes effective or the offering is consummated.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to cause these expense provisions to comply with state “blue sky” laws of each state in which the offering is made and (y) in connection with any underwritten offering hereunder, each Participating Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and any transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of such Registrable Securities, pro rata with respect to payments of discounts and commissions in accordance with the number of shares sold in the offering by such Participating Holder.

2.6. Certain Limitations on Registration Rights. In the case of any registration under Section 2.1 involving an underwritten offering, or, in the case of a registration under Section 2.2, if the Company has determined to enter into an underwriting agreement in connection therewith, all securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be subject to such underwriting agreement and no Person may participate in such underwritten offering unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided therein and completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, and other customary documents (including custody agreements, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements) which must be executed in connection therewith; provided, however, that all such documents shall be consistent with the provisions hereof and (ii) provides such other information to the Company or the underwriter as may be necessary to register such Person’s securities.

2.7. Limitations on Sale or Distribution of Other Securities.

(a) Each Holder that is a director or officer of the Company agrees, to the extent requested by the Manager of any underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration or offering

effected pursuant to Section 2.1 (including any Shelf Underwriting pursuant to Section 2.1) or Section 2.2 (including any offering effected by the Company for its own account ), not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144, any Class A Common Stock or Class A Common Stock Equivalents (other than as part of such underwritten public offering) during the time period reasonably requested by the Manager, not to exceed the period from seven days prior to the pricing date of such offering until ninety (90) days after the pricing date of such offering or such shorter period as the Manager, the Company or any executive officer or director of the Company shall agree to.

(b) The Company hereby agrees that, in connection with an offering pursuant to Section 2.1 (including any Shelf Underwriting pursuant to Section 2.1(e)) or 2.2, the Company shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, any Class A Common Stock or Class A Common Stock Equivalent (other than as part of such underwritten public offering, a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form which is (x) then in effect or (y) shall become effective upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any then outstanding Class A Common Stock Equivalent), until a period from seven days prior to the pricing date of such offering until ninety (90) days after the pricing date of such offering or such shorter period as the Manager, the Company or any executive officer or director of the Company shall agree to and the Company shall so provide in any registration rights agreements hereafter entered into with respect to any of its securities.

2.8. No Required Sale. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create an independent obligation on the part of any Holder to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to any effective registration statement. A Holder is not required to include any of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement, is not required to sell any of its Registrable Securities which are included in any effective registration statement, and may sell any of its Registrable Securities in any manner in compliance with applicable law (subject to applicable lock-up restrictions) even if such shares are already included on an effective registration statement.

2.9. Indemnification.

(a) In the event of any registration or offer and sale of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 2, the Company will (without limitation as to time), and hereby agrees to, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Participating Holder, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, members, general and limited partners, agents, affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns (and the directors, officers, employees, stockholders, members, general and limited partners, agents, affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns thereof), each other Person who participates as a seller (and its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, members, general and limited partners, agents, affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns), underwriter or Qualified Independent Underwriter, if any, in the offering or sale of such securities, each officer, director, employee, stockholder, managing director, agent, affiliate, representative, successor, assign or partner of such underwriter or Qualified Independent Underwriter, and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such seller or any such underwriter or Qualified Independent Underwriter and each director, officer, employee, stockholder, managing director, agent, affiliate, representative, successor, assign or partner of such controlling Person, from and against any and all losses, claims,

damages or liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel and any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the Company’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to which each such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise in respect thereof (collectively, “Claims”), insofar as such Claims arise out of, are based upon, relate to or are in connection with (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary, final or summary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, together with the documents incorporated by reference therein, or any free writing prospectus utilized in connection therewith, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the information conveyed by the Company or any underwriter to any purchaser at the time of the sale to such purchaser, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or (iv) any violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to any action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with any such offering of Registrable Securities, and the Company will reimburse any such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such indemnified party in any such case to the extent such Claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in such registration statement or amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any such prospectus or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus or free writing prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such indemnified party specifically for use therein. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.

(b) Each Participating Holder (and, if the Company requires as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with Section 2.1 or 2.2, any underwriter and Qualified Independent Underwriter, if any) shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.9) to the extent permitted by law the Company, its officers and its directors, each Person controlling the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and all other prospective sellers and their directors, officers, stockholders, fiduciaries, managing directors, agents, affiliates, representatives, successors, assigns or general and limited partners and respective controlling Persons with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in, or omission or alleged omission of any material fact from, such registration statement, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus utilized in connection therewith, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or its representatives by or on behalf of such Participating Holder or underwriter or Qualified Independent Underwriter, if any,

specifically for use therein, and each such Participating Holder, underwriter or Qualified Independent Underwriter, if any, shall reimburse such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the aggregate amount which any such Participating Holder shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 2.9 (including pursuant to indemnity, contribution or otherwise) shall in no case be greater than the amount of the net proceeds received by such Participating Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement giving rise to such Claim; provided, further, that such Participating Holder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that prior to the filing or confidential submission of any such registration statement or prospectus or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus utilized in connection therewith, such Participating Holder has furnished in writing to the Company information expressly for use in such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or free writing prospectus which corrected or made not misleading information previously furnished to the Company. The Company and each Participating Holder hereby acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by such Participating Holders to the contrary, for all purposes of this Agreement, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any such registration statement, preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus, are statements specifically relating to (i) the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by such Participating Holder and its Affiliates as disclosed in the section of such document entitled “Selling Stockholders” or “Principal and Selling Stockholders” and (ii) the name and address of such Participating Holder. If any additional information about such Holder or the plan of distribution (other than for an underwritten offering) is required by law to be disclosed in any such document, then such Holder shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.

(c) Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.9 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Participating Holder with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any applicable securities and state “blue sky” laws.

(d) Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement shall notify promptly the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 2.9, but the failure of any indemnified party to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.9, except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially and actually prejudiced thereby and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9. In case any action or proceeding is brought against an indemnified party and such indemnified party shall have notified the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof (as required above), the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, unless in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the indemnified party a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties exists in respect of such Claim, to assume the defense thereof jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it

chooses, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party that it so chooses, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or proceeding within twenty (20) days after receiving notice from such indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so; or (ii) if such indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying party or which may conflict with or be different from those available to another indemnified party with respect to such Claim; or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then, in any such case, the indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction, except to the extent any indemnified party or parties reasonably shall have made a conclusion described in clause (ii) or (iii) above) and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any expenses therefor. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault or culpability, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e) If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable, unenforceable or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Sections 2.9(a), (b) or (c), then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to such indemnified party as a result of any Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, with respect to such Claim. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. If, however, the allocation provided in the second preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if any contribution pursuant to this Section 2.9(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentences

of this Section 2.9(e). The amount paid or payable in respect of any Claim shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.9(e) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.9(e) to contribute any amount greater than the amount of the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement giving rise to such Claim, less the amount of any indemnification payment made by such indemnifying party pursuant to Sections 2.9(b) and (c). In addition, no Holder of Registrable Securities or any Affiliate thereof shall be required to pay any amount under this Section 2.9(e) unless such Person or entity would have been required to pay an amount pursuant to Section 2.9(b) if it had been applicable in accordance with its terms.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any such party.

(g) The indemnification and contribution required by this Section 2.9 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

2.10. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent in any material respects with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement.

Section 3. Underwritten Offerings.

3.1. Requested Underwritten Offerings. If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration requested under Section 2.1, the Company shall enter into a customary underwriting agreement with the underwriters.

●

Grove Collaborative (“Grove” or “the Company”), a public benefit corporation and Certified B Corp., has entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Virgin Group Acquisition Corp. II (“VGII”) (NYSE: VGII), backed by Sir Richard Branson;

●

High-growth digitally enabled sustainable consumer products company Grove has planned revenues of $385 million in 2021 and gross margin of 50%; expects to break even and grow to over $600 million in revenue with margins of 56% by 2024 through accelerated leadership in zero-plastic and zero waste home and personal care innovation, retail expansion and customer growth;

●

The transaction is expected to result in approximately $435 million in net proceeds, assuming no redemptions, enabling the Company to accelerate its mission to transform the consumer products industry into a force for human and environmental good, and to make it easy for people to switch to healthier and more sustainable routines;

●

The transaction includes a fully committed, $87 million common stock PIPE with contributions from an affiliate of the sponsor of VGII and new and existing Grove investors, including Lone Pine Capital, Sculptor Capital Management, General Atlantic and Paul Polman; 100% of Grove’s existing shareholders will roll their equity into the combined company; Grove Collaborative Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Stuart Landesberg participated in the PIPE financing;

●

The transaction implies a combined company pro forma enterprise value of approximately $1.5 billion, and is expected to close in late Q1 or early Q2 2022 and, upon closing, the combined company will be listed on the NYSE under the new ticker symbol “GROV”;

●

The combination with VGII will fuel Grove’s growth and drive product innovation, consumer education, retail expansion and enhanced customer experience, and will help Grove to reach its goal of becoming 100% plastic free by 2025.

SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK– December 8, 2021 ― Grove Collaborative (“Grove” or “the Company”), a leading sustainable consumer products company, and Virgin Group Acquisition Corp. II (“VGII”) (NYSE: VGII), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by Virgin Group, announced today they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement that will

result in Grove becoming a public company. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will continue to operate under the Grove name and will be listed on the NYSE under the new “GROV” ticker symbol. The combined company will be led by Stuart Landesberg, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Grove Collaborative.

Grove is a leading sustainable consumer products company fueled by a mission to transform the consumer products industry into a force for human and environmental good. The largest independent, home and personal care brand focused on health and sustainability, the Company is at the forefront of the direct-to-consumer and natural products trends and has emerged as a leader in the category, with over 1.5 million active customers through its direct platform and millions of units of products sold at physical retail.

Earlier this year the digitally native company announced its entrance into physical retail at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com, helping more shoppers to adopt a sustainable lifestyle by providing greater access to healthier products to consumers across the country, while quickly becoming the #1 repeat brand in the cleaning category.

In addition to its flagship brand, Grove Co., Grove has built and launched several sustainable brands in the personal care, paper, and beauty categories such as the 100% plastic-free bar format body, hair and deodorant brand, Peach not Plastic. Grove’s customers have avoided over 4.9 million pounds of plastic being used by choosing Grove Co. and Peach not Plastic’s plastic-free and plastic-reducing products.

Grove is leading the consumer products industry out of plastic. Already plastic neutral and CarbonNeutralⓇ certified, the Company aims to become 100% plastic free by 2025. Beyond Plastic is Grove’s comprehensive plan to address the plastic crisis and to help the Company meet its ambitious goal. Today Grove also has 100% carbon neutral shipping and facilities and is committed to NetZero carbon emissions by 2030.

Investment Highlights

●

Investing in a sustainable future for consumer packaged goods – With its sustainability-first mindset and ability to innovate quickly as a digitally native company with access to millions of customers, Grove is at the forefront of the growing demand for natural, sustainable home and personal care products that are high performing. As a purpose-led brand with an ambitious goal of becoming 100% plastic free by 2025, Grove is poised to capitalize on this demand.

●

Scale Opportunity – Expected revenue of $385 million in 2021 represents only a fraction of the $180 billion addressable market for home and personal care in the U.S., leaving tremendous opportunity for growth domestically and internationally.

●

Rapid Growth and Broad Consumer Adoption – Proven ability to drive growth as the #1 brand in a fast-growing space, with a 54% revenue CAGR expected from 2018-2021 and projected growth to over $600 million in 2024, attracting customers across a diverse demographic set who exhibit high levels of brand engagement, repeat purchase behavior and long-term retention.

●

Strong and Increasing Margins - Healthy 50% gross margin expected in 2021 projected to grow to 56% by 2024 as the Company scales, drives brand awareness and continues to increase the mix of owned-brand products.

●

Retail Strategy Offers Significant Upside – Anchored by a strong and loyal customer membership, Grove has a significant opportunity for growth and to pursue omnichannel opportunities. Grove recently went into physical retail for the first time at Target stores nationwide; with high

performance during the first year, it validates Grove’s ability to unlock the retail channel, in which 90% of the category’s sales still occur, and presents material upside beyond plan.

Management Commentary

“In going public, we sought a partner that shares our passion for using business to answer the urgent environmental crisis, and that accelerates our vision to make consumer products a positive force in human and environmental health. In that spirit, we are thrilled to partner with mission-driven disruptors Sir Richard Branson and VGII as we embark on this next chapter. Together we will create new opportunities to revolutionize the CPG industry,” said Stuart Landesberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Grove. “The CPG category is ripe for disruption. As an industry, we can, should, and must be able to offer products that are high performing and good for the planet. Grove can be a driving force for change, through our ongoing product innovation, retail partnerships and our ambitious goal to become 100% plastic free by 2025.”

“I am inspired by Grove’s vision to transform the availability and quality of planet-first products” said Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Group Founder. “Grove is paving the way for people to have more access to healthy, sustainable goods for their homes and I am excited to see the company’s impact on customers’ health and wellbeing. There are huge growth opportunities ahead, and we are delighted to work alongside Stu and his team as Grove continues to disrupt the industry and make a positive difference to people and the planet.”

Evan Lovell, Chief Investment Officer of Virgin Group, said, “Grove has a distinctive opportunity to capitalize on a growing sustainable products market ripe for disruption. Virgin Group sought to partner with an exceptional consumer products company, and our mission and platform offered the perfect opportunity for two incredible teams to come together. We are thrilled to partner with Grove and their team and look forward to our collective future success as a publicly traded business.”

The business combination includes an implied combined company pro forma enterprise valuation for Grove of $1.5 billion.

The Boards of Directors of Grove and VGII have both approved the transaction. The transaction will require the approval of the shareholders of both Grove and VGII, and is subject to other customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close in late Q1 or early Q2 2022. 100% of Grove’s shareholders will roll their equity holdings into the new public company.

Grove expects to use the proceeds from the transaction for working capital and general corporate purposes, in addition to covering transaction-related costs.

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 gen erally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “po ten tial,” “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, (1) statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opp or tunity; (2) references with respect to the anticipated benefits of the Potential Business Combination and the projected future financial performance of Grove and Grove’ s o perating companies following the Potential Business Combination; (3) changes in the market for Grove’s products, and expansio n p lans and opportunities; (4) anticipated customer retention; (5) the sources and uses of cash of the Potential Business Combination; (6) the anticipated capitalizatio n a nd enterprise value of the combined company following the consummation of the Potential Business Combination; and (7) expecta tio ns related to the terms and timing of the Potential Business Combination. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Presenta tio n, and on the current expectations of Grove’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward - looking st atements 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 pr edi ction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predic t a nd will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Grove. These forward - looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncerta inties, including: changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the failure o f t he parties to enter into a definitive merger agreement (or the termination thereof) with respect to the Potential Business Combination; the inability of the parties to su cce ssfully or timely consummate the Potential Business Combination, including the risk that any required stockholder or regulato ry approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Potentia l B usiness Combination is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Potential Business Combination; risks re lating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Grove; Grove’s ability to successfully expand its business; competition; the uncertain effects of th e COVID - 19 pandemic; and those factors discussed in documents of VG filed, or to be filed, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forw ard - looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither VG nor Grove presently know or that VG and Grove currently bel ie ve are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward - looking statements. In addition, forward - looking statements reflect VG’s a nd Grove’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. VG and Grove anti cip ate that subsequent events and developments will cause VG’s and Grove’s assessments to change. However, while VG and Grove may elect to update these forward - looking stateme nts at some point in the future, VG and Grove specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward - looking statements sh ould not be relied upon as representing VG’s and Grove’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should n ot be placed upon the forward - looking statements. Use of Data The data contained herein is derived from various internal and external sources.

NOTES START FROM HERE AND GROW UP CONTENT BELOW THIS LINE CONTENT BELOW THIS LINE SUBTITLE BELOW THIS LINE TITLE CAN NOT GO ABOVE THIS LINE 3 3 Use of Projections This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Grove, namely revenue and gross margin, gross prod uct margin, Grove brands revenue share, gross revenue share by brand, gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, fulf il lment cost, operating expenses, advertising spend. Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information, and is for illustrative purpose s only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The projections, estimates and targe ts in this Presentation are forward - looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are b eyo nd VG’s and Grove’s control. See “Forward - Looking Statements” above. While all projections, estimates and targets are necessaril y speculative, VG and Grove believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the p roj ection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expe cte d or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, regulatory, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that c oul d cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such projections, estimates and targets. The inclusion of pr ojections, estimates and targets in this Presentation should not be regarded as an indication that VG and Grove, or their representatives, considered or consider the financial pro jec tions, estimates and targets to be a reliable prediction of future events. Neither the independent auditors of VG nor the in dep endent registered public accounting firm of Grove has audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusio n i n this Presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respe ct thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. Financial Information; Non - GAAP Financial Measures The Grove financial information and data for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 included herein are audited in ac cordance with Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA) auditing standards. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as gross product margin, contribution profit and adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). T he se 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 financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, operatin g income, profit before tax, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to Net Income is provided at the end of this presentation. A reconciliation of the projected non - GAAP financial measures has not been provided and is unable to be provided without unreaso nable effort because certain items excluded from these non - GAAP financial measures such as charges related to stock - based compensation expenses and related tax effects, including non - recurring income tax adjustments, cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. VG and Grove believe these non - GAAP measures of financial results, including on a forward - looking basis, provide useful informat ion to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Grove’s financial condition and r esu lts of operations. Grove’s management uses these non - GAAP measures for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. VG and Grove believe that the use of these n on - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Grove’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. Management of VG does not consider these non - GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial 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 financial pe rformance, and therefore Grove’s non - GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. See the footnotes on the slides wh ere these measures are discussed and the Appendix for definitions of these non - GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of th ese non - GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Important Information for Investors and Stockholders VG and Grove and their respective directors and executive officers, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the sol icitation of proxies of VG’s shareholders in connection with the Potential Business Combination. Investors and security holde rs may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the Potential Business Combination of VG’s directors and officers in VG’s filings with t he SEC, including VG’s registration statement on Form S - 1, which was originally filed with the SEC on [February 12, 2021] . To the extent that holdings of VG’s securities have changed from the amounts reported in VG’s registration statement on Form S - 1, such changes have been or will be reflected on Sta tements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be d eem ed participants in the solicitation of proxies to VG’s shareholders in connection with the Potential Business Combination will be set forth in the proxy statement/p ros pectus on Form S - 4 for the Potential Business Combination, which is expected to be filed by VG with the SEC. This Presentation is not a substitute for the registration statement or for any other document that VG may file with the SEC in connection with the Potential Business Combination. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DOCUMENTS FILED WITH TH E SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors and security hold ers may obtain free copies of other documents filed with the SEC by VG through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.se c. gov. INVESTMENT IN ANY SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORI TY NOR HAS ANY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THE OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. Disclaimer (Cont’d.)

PRESENTATION

Stuart Landesberg

Hi, everyone. I’m Stu Landesberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Grove Collaborative. I’m excited to have you all with me today to share a little bit about the Company, the transaction that we are embarking on with our partners at Virgin, and what makes our mission to make the CPG industry a positive force for human and environmental health so important, our business so unique, and the opportunity for all stakeholders - environment, community, and, yes, shareholders - so powerful over the next several decades. I’m really excited to talk a little bit about where we came from and where we’re going.

With me today, I have Evan Lovell, the Chief Investment Officer of Virgin Group, our new partner, and Phil Moon, who runs the Finance Team here at Grove.

With that, I’ll pass it to Evan to start us off.

Evan Lovell

Thanks very much, Stu.

I’d like to start by spending a couple of minutes highlighting our investment thesis for everyone.

When we raised the capital for our SPACs, both this one and our first, which successfully merged with 23andMe, about six months ago, we told investors we would be singularly focused on sourcing companies that had hundreds of millions of revenue, would be leaders in their field, would be growing rapidly, that would have a strong margin structure, so they’d be in a position to produce positive free cash flow in the near term, and we wanted to make sure that they had a strong and purpose-driven Management Team. As many of you know, we’re a purpose-driven investment organization and it was critical we find a team that shared the same vision for the business that they were running. In Grove, we found a company that possesses all of these attributes, and that’s why we’re so thrilled to be partnering with the team today to help them go public.

When we did our due diligence, we anchored around six key points of our investment thesis.

The first is there’s a massive shift in consumer sentiment towards purchasing sustainable and natural products. Grove is a pure-play way for investors to get involved in this secular shift.

ViaVid has made considerable efforts to provide an accurate transcription. There may be material errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the reporting of the substance of the conference call. This transcript is being made available for information purposes only.

1-888-562-0262 1-604-929-1352 www.viavid.com

The second is this is a scale opportunity. Grove is a significant business with almost $400 million of revenue. That’s a small fraction of the $180 billion addressable market for home and personal care that they operate in, and you’ll see why we think there’s significant growth beyond what they have done historically.

The third point is the business has been growing very quickly, and they have a lot of growth in front of them. As you know, we manage our own brands and we’re very customer-centric. One of the things we spend the most amount of time on in evaluating investments is how a brand relates to its customers, and we believe Grove is very unique in the CPG space. This is a business that has an intimate, direct relationship with its customers, it drives impressive levels of band engagement. This is the leading brand in its category and there’s strong repeat purchase behavior and very good retention. We think that this bodes exceptionally well for growth going forward for the Company.

Fourth, this is a business that structurally has very strong gross margins, 50%, which should expand by several hundred basis points in the medium term, and that positions it very nicely for significant free cash flow generation.

One of the areas that we spent a lot of time on in due diligence was the opportunity to grow into retail. This is really exciting, because if you look at this category today, over 90% of the purchases still occur in the retail channel, and Grove has only just entered that channel. Their partnership with Target and their performance over the last six months in the channel have been strong validation for this part of the thesis. We think this will lead to very significant growth going forward for the business in this segment.

Then, finally, I would say this is a fantastically well-rounded and world-class professional Management Team, with all of the key attributes that you would want to see, from CPG experience to technology experience, ESG-orientation and retail strategy, all represented here.

We believe that this is a unique investment opportunity and we’re really excited to present it to you. So, with that, I’d like to turn it over to Stu and let him take you through the rest of the story. Stu?

Stuart Landesberg

Thank you, Evan.

I just want to start by saying the partnership with Virgin has been exactly what we were looking for. When we first considered taking the Company public, I took the lens of what would be the path that would best cement Grove as the natural winner in the most important transition that our giant category may ever see, and I believe that finding a partner that not only shared our deep commitment to values-driven business, but also that could help grow our awareness and credibility in the eyes of key stakeholder groups among consumers, institutional and retail investors, and also key partners in the trade. And we found that in spades with Virgin. This is exactly the type of partnership that led us down this SPAC path and we truly believe that our organizations together can be the kind of partnership where one plus one equals three, and where Virgin’s partnership will enhance the level of success that we’re able to achieve at Grove over the coming years.

With that, I’ll transition a little bit into how we got started at Grove. And the Grove story really does start, like so many great founder stories, long before the first day of incorporation in 2012.

1-888-562-0262 1-604-929-1352 www.viavid.com

I grew up in a family that was a bit, I’ll say, ahead of its time when it came to sustainability. I distinctly remember turning the compost bin as a chore as a child, and I was probably 15 before I realized paper towels came in any color other than brown. As a sixth-grader, I had to write a story, a paper about what I wanted to do when I grew up. I was precocious then and wanted to be the CEO of the largest company in the world. The largest company in the world as identified by an 11-year-old Stu was Seventh Generation. So, I’ve always had a deep connection to this category and believed that sustainability could become the default option.

I started my professional career in investing in and around a firm called TPG Capital in San Francisco, California. And there I was lucky enough to cover a combination of consumer retail and Internet. And I saw firsthand the opportunity, and the space that Grove was to grow into, in that the vast majority of consumers prefer conscientious product - over 70% will self-identify as preferring conscientious product - but natural brands have less than 5% share in many home and personal care categories. At the same time, I saw the Internet as a way to connect the majority of consumers to products that he or she or they did not necessarily have access to in their local store. So, I started Grove quite humbly in 2012, with the idea of connecting consumers to better products, helping the environment in the process.

But, what we’ve found as we’ve grown the business is that our core vision needs to be bigger. That we can use the position and the unique business model that we have speaking directly to consumers, to leverage a set of data that is distinct and better than any company in our space has ever had, to build innovation and create brands that can transform the category, that has a mixed track record on human health and a terrible track record on environmental health, to be one that is a positive force for both human and environmental health.

Our business model today is to create and curate high-performance, planet-first products that drive our category to be a positive force. And the reason this has to happen is that the impact our category has on the world is literally unsustainable. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions and the amount of plastic waste that our industry is responsible for literally cannot continue and so a shift must happen. And Grove’s business model is a scale alternative to the high-polluting business models that exist today, that will be embraced over time, and we believe we can take this business model truly to the mainstream.

While you will hear me talk a lot in this presentation like a bleeding-heart—and I admit, I am someone who cares deeply about the health and wellbeing of our planet for future generations—I was raised in the school of EBITDA and free cash flow and I absolutely play to win. And our Company culture does blend true, deep passion for the environment and human health with an understanding that to reach true scale we also have to do well by doing good.

You can see over the last almost decade that the Company has a history of not just growing revenue quickly, but investing in things that grow the quality of revenue, as demonstrated by the increase in gross margin over time that has accompanied our increasing revenue. This is due to a virtuous flywheel. As the business gets larger, our data improves and our resourcing improves, which allows us to invest in better quality innovations that are more sustainable, that drive top line growth, and that also come at higher margins. So, as our innovations take root, they not just fuel an increase in top line, but they also fuel an increase in gross margin percentage. And this has been true consistently over time and we expect it to continue, even despite the well-publicized cost inflation that folks are seeing throughout the supply chain.

But, first, before we get deep into it, I want to ground us in exactly what the Grove brand is.

The business started with 100% third-party product, but today the vast majority of the business is first- party brand, the lion’s share of which is our crown jewel asset of Grove Co., the leading brand in zero- waste and natural home. You can see here an assortment of our products. This brand is majority zero- plastic already, has over 400 SKUs with an attractive margin profile, and is well loved by consumers, both

1-888-562-0262 1-604-929-1352 www.viavid.com

at grove.com and in our offline partners. We believe the core principles that built the Grove Co. brand, sustainability, efficacy, which we’ll talk more about in a minute, and consumer-centricity, which is a mix of design and price, will build multiple billion-dollar brands over time. As such, we have a portfolio of incubator brands that you can think of as option value. We believe some of those brands will hit over time, as the design and sustainability principles that built Grove Co., we think will transform multiple categories over time.

But, Grove Co. is the clear market leader and the clear heir apparent in natural CPG. You can see we have leading market share in direct-to-consumer and natural HPC. We have dominant position in many of the most important zero-waste categories, including refillable chassis. Zero-waste will likely include chassis refill models and we have over 5 million reusable chassis in consumer homes, and we have over 300 SKUs without single-use plastic today.

When you look at the metrics that back this up, they bespeak a company and a brand that is leading its industry, as you would expect; nearly $400 million in revenue, with strong gross margins, above industry average trailing and forward growth, the largest direct-to-consumer community in our space, the vast majority of whom are buying through auto-ship, and a chain-wide launch in Target in the U.S. last year that was number one in our categories of hand, dish and cleaning.

But, any success we’ve had—and I admit to being proud of the business that we’ve built and excited about the future—any success we’ve had has been because of the team that we’ve been able to assemble. My approach to building the team has always been to mix entrepreneurs—I’m lucky to have my two co-founders still with me today leading the business—with folks who bring real and credible industry experience to various functions.

I’ll call out just a couple of folks. Delida Costin, our Chief People and Legal Officer, who is the General Counsel who took Pandora public; Andy Rendich, our Chief Operating Officer, the long-time COO of Netflix, when they were in the physical products business; Jennie Perry, our most recent hire, our Chief Marketing Officer, who started her career in brand management, but most recently was the Chief Marketing Officer for Amazon Prime and Amazon North America.

If I put the top 50 folks from Grove on this page, you would see that our team doesn’t reflect the size of our Company today, but the size of our ambition to be one of the most important companies in the world in the coming decades. We’ve been lucky to attract the human capital to accelerate our path to making our vision a reality.

So, I’ll move quickly into the market here. I trust that most of you all understand what’s going on here – that this is a massive market, number one, and, number two, that change is inevitable. And perhaps number three, is that Grove is able to catalyze that change not just with the groups traditionally assumed to be early adopters, but to drive change at the mass market level. Market share for natural products is still quite early, but the vast majority, nearly two-thirds, of the consumers who shop natural just started in the last two years. And you can see the consumer preference implies that that will continue.

When you look at what it takes to win with this next generation of consumers, we think it comes down to four things, two on this page, two on the next.

The first is plant-based ingredients. And this is a really a shift from petroleum-based and synthetic ingredients to plant-derived formulas. And we, of course, have many certifications to back this up, but none of the plant-derived formulations matter unless they work. We think it’s a bit of a cheap trick to drive trial with a product that doesn’t work – and what really matters is to overdeliver for the consumer on efficacy, so that we can build lifetime relationships. And it has not always been true in natural products,

1-888-562-0262 1-604-929-1352 www.viavid.com

that efficacy stood up to consumer demand. But at Grove, we hold our product to the efficacy standards of best in the industry - conventional or natural – or we do not launch.

You can see here that there’s a graph showing how Grove stands up to conventional and natural competitors, and Grove’s products, in this case dishwasher packs, outperforms the competition. This is one of the things that allows us to create such high lifetime value and such truly lifetime customers - it’s not just about strong formulations, but strong formulations that really work. And we combine that with best-in-class expertise in zero-waste packaging, zero-plastic products, sustainable formats that enable new business models, like tree-free paper, and a set of supply chain and ESG corporate practices that match the aspirations of our vision.

So, when you combine all of this, you get a company with a set of capabilities and a culture that matches up to what the most discerning consumers are looking for. And the reason that matters is not just because we should all care about whether or not businesses are doing our part to ensure the planet continues to be habitable for future generations, but because that’s where all the growth is. Our projections imply above category growth into the long term.

The reason we believe that to be possible is that Grove has exposure in a concentrated fashion to the two highest growth areas in home and personal care: the shift to clean and natural products, and the shift to e-commerce. But, the thing that drives the biggest upside here is our exposure to the most important issue in our category, which is single-use plastic. An incredible 84% of U.S. consumers believe we need to take action on single-use plastic packaging. It’s hard to get 84% of the U.S. to agree that the sky is blue.

This is a problem unique both because of its impact on the climate, on our water systems, and also because of its ubiquity. Nearly every home in the world is using single-use forever garbage for temporary problems. And Grove is the clear market leader in solving the plastic problem – we have the largest assortment, and we lead in efficacy, sustainability, market share, margin, consumer adoption and awareness. This is ours to lose in an amazing transition in a massive category and we have pole position to be the dominant brand. And why that matters is that the biggest problems in society often correlate with the biggest market opportunities.

Yes, I understand it is a bit cliché to have a SPAC and have the Tesla logo in your deck. Anyone who is watching this, I deserve a little bit of ridicule for it. But the point remains important – there are many ways to play that transition away from industrial and animal agriculture. There are many ways to play the inevitable decarbonization of our energy and transportation economies. But, there are very few ways to play the inevitable shift away from plastic across a sector that has nearly $1 trillion of global revenue in home and personal care, and that is what makes this opportunity so unique.

The biggest players in our space do not have a track record of innovation. They do have a track record of M&A. But, because they do not have a track record of innovation, when you look at the nearly $700 billion of market cap in our space, we view the next 20 years as an incredible moment where much of that will be up for grabs – as the products that consumers buy need to transition from their current unsustainable packaging and formulas, that do not prioritize human and environmental health, to natural formulas and sustainable packaging. And it is our ambition to capture as much of the market share and market cap as possible in the next 20 years.

If you look at how that’s happening, we see resonance across different swaths of the media, from the folks who you would expect to cover us, into consumer media. And when you look at who is buying the Grove product, the answer is everyone. When you survey Grove consumers and say, “Where did you shop for this category before Grove?” the answers, in order, are Walmart, Target, Sam’s Club, Kroger and Costco. This is the mass market American consumer.

1-888-562-0262 1-604-929-1352 www.viavid.com

You can look here, and the colors on the slide, the darker the state, the higher the penetration. And you can see that this is not a map of who voted for who in the last presidential election. It’s not a map of income levels, demographics, urban, suburban. It’s not a population map. This is a map that shows our brand winning across the U.S.

Let’s look at our top 10 zip codes. I would expect to see San Francisco, Boston, Chicago on there, absolutely. What about Chattanooga, Tennessee or Elmore County, Idaho, with less than 30,000 people in our top 10 zip codes? This is a brand that wins everywhere. When we launched in Target and we looked at our top 20 Targets, they’re equally spread across the country. We don’t just see markets like Brooklyn outperforming. We also see a number of cities with fewer than 200,000 residents in our top 20 Targets by gross sales—not indexed, gross sales. We don’t just see Chicago, Brooklyn, Portland, Maine, but we also see Duluth, Minnesota, Northgate, Washington, Springfield, Missouri.

This is a brand that wins across the whole consumer spectrum, and that is what makes the opportunity here so big. This is a brand that can take sustainability and build a big tent around it, such that the opportunity in front of us is not niche, but it’s truly to change the behavior of the mass market consumer.

Worth calling out, especially, this year, is that we’ve built the logistics and fulfillment infrastructure to directly serve this consumer, which has proven to be a significant competitive advantage, and significant advantage in consumer experience, particularly over this last year.

I’ll pivot quickly now to talk about innovation. We think innovation is our outgrowth algorithm. If you take two things away from this session, they should be number one, innovation will have a bigger impact on market share shifts in our category than ever before over the next 20 years. And, two, our direct-to- consumer business model gives us a unique approach to innovation that allows us to have more shots on goal – more innovation, a faster iteration cycle – more shots on goal than any company in our space, and better informed shots on goal – better data-driven innovations than any company in our space. And that advantage in innovation is a durable competitive advantage in an industry going through a moment of rapid transition.

Grove was really built to be a company that could leverage a data advantage to win this moment of transformation. And the way that data advantage plays out in practice is fairly simple. The direct-to- consumer business gives us superior access to customer data and preferences. Our own captive e- commerce platform allows us to launch product effectively, instantly, when its ready – and to innovate and iterate at speeds impossible through third-party distribution. And as a result, we not only launch more product, but we launch faster and iterate more quickly, giving us better data and more opportunities to create innovation that resonates with the consumer – along new lines of sustainability, product efficacy and higher quality ingredients. And increasingly, we’re able to take the winning innovations that come out of our direct-to-consumer ecosystem and scale them up at retail, where the vast majority of consumers in our category still shop.

To double-down for a second on our innovation, this is a backwards-looking slide showing how we’ve transitioned the business based on innovation over time. You can see on the left that we have a track record of putting out an incredible amount of new product, and doing it extremely quickly. The result of that rapid innovation has been that while third-party brands on our platform have grown quickly, first-party brands, where we’re able to see significantly faster iteration speed and significantly more product launches, have taken share massively over the last four years. And every time we shift market share from third-party to first-party, we see huge margin accretion.

It's worth saying explicitly that the third-party brands that we partner with have been, and will continue to be, an important part of the Grove consumer offering. We are excited to continue deep partnerships with

1-888-562-0262 1-604-929-1352 www.viavid.com

all of these brands to pursue their path to zero-plastic and to more sustainable product offerings. Our vision is not just to grow our own brand, but really to grow the category. So, we are hopeful that the trends that have pushed our own success will pull others, and we look forward to continued strong partnerships with our third-party brand partners over time.

With that said, the overall business model is actually quite simple. We leverage the unique set of insights that come out of our direct-to-consumer platform to understand what are the products that are zero-plastic that consumers want; what does the next generation of everything from laundry detergent to glass cleaner to shampoo look like. And when we feel like we have good consensus, good conviction on what that consumer wants, we will take that and scale that up through an omnichannel business model. Over 90% of consumers in the home care category do not shop vertical e-commerce, where our business is built today. The opportunity in brick-and-mortar is far more than 10x the opportunity in direct-to-consumer commerce in our category, and we are just scratching the surface here.

We’ve built the leading brand in our space – doing approximately $400 million of revenue, leading in zero- plastic and zero-waste, leading in terms of sustainable assortment, consumer love, awareness, market share – and we’ve done it in a channel shopped by the vast minority of consumers. We’ve built this leading brand in a market that less than 10% of consumers use. Less than 10% of consumers purchase home care through vertical e-commerce platforms, like Grove. The opportunity to take this brand—truly, I believe the best in the world in leading the changes necessary in the home care market, in particular— and move it from a channel used by less than 10% to one shopped by 100%, that opportunity alone is 10x, and simple execution of bringing a beloved product to more consumers and more places.

Our execution here is no longer just a hypothesis. Our results in Target have been exceptional, exceeding both our and Target’s expectations, and setting us up well to deepen our partnership with Target next year and to grow our retail footprint for years to come. We already can point to significant distribution growth for next year and significant growth in the average units per store next year.

In addition to this, you can see that our brand, having only been in Target for less than six months, already leads across a number of key categories. Our shelf space is not yet industry-leading, but a lot of the metrics showing consumer adoption and consumer love for the Grove brand are already second to none – against both natural and conventional brands – setting us up well for expanded distribution and creating a massive opportunity for us over the next two to three decades as we grow distribution rapidly. This is one of the parts of the business that I am most excited for and one of the parts of the business where I believe the business feels today the strongest tailwinds for continued above-trend growth.

The next section talks a bit about our consumers, and if you only take two things away from this section, I want to be – number one, that this is a business that has a history of learning from our data and getting better every single year, and, number two, that we have a track record of exceptional consumer loyalty, with consumers choosing Grove and staying with Grove for life.

But, first, how do we reach our consumers? Grove has a fairly simple business model for driving the majority of our traffic: sell a high-quality consumable product and encourage consumers to use our auto- ship option for maximum convenience. When they run out of the product, they’re very likely to come back to the site organically because they have a recurring shipment, which allows us to access the majority of our traffic for free. And when we are doing outbound marketing, we have a mature and diversified mix. We’ve made particular effort over the last year in diversifying away from paid social, so that we are not overly exposed to any one channel. And today I’m pleased to say that our mix includes paid social, television, radio, podcasts, direct mail, and search, in proportions that set us up well for long-term growth.

This perhaps, though, is my favorite chart in the whole deck, because I think of this a little bit as customer love as mapped out in dollars. What this chart shows on the Y-axis is cumulative revenue per customer

1-888-562-0262 1-604-929-1352 www.viavid.com

on a cohort basis, inclusive of the impacts of churn. On the X-axis, of course, is months since signup for a given cohort. The two things to take away are – number one, that each of these lines continue to slope upwards, none plateaus, every cohort continues to generate revenue and value for Grove. But perhaps more importantly, the slope of the line every single year increases. Every single year, we see higher revenue per customer than the last, even in 2021, comping over unprecedented demand in some of our categories. And when you zoom all the way out, you see that long-term retention is nearly asymptotic, indicative of consumers choosing to stay with Grove, and choosing to stay with Grove for life.

One of the wonderful things about the home care category in particular, is that while it is a little bit of an unsexy category, it is also a category where consumers really do make long-term decisions. Over the next several decades, most consumers will change the restaurants in which they eat, they’ll change the brands of clothing that they wear, they’ll change innumerable habits, but they may never change their brand of laundry detergent or dish soap. That is the type of purchase behavior from which we benefit, because we overdeliver in terms of customer experience and quality.

When you look under the covers one level more, revenue is flat, but margin is changing. You can see on the right here the overall mix has shifted from majority third-party to majority first-party products, and growing. And when you look on the left, you can see the reason that it is growing, is that every single year newer cohorts take a higher percentage of first-party Grove product, driving the overall mix of the business towards first-party and driving the overall margin of the business higher. What that means is that while over time revenue per cohort is roughly flat, contribution profit per cohort grows over time. So, we are likely to see more profit from the 2021 cohort in 2024 than we see in 2023, and likely more profit in 2025 than in 2024.

What that means is that when we invest our marketing capital, we think of it as buying annuities, buying streams of future free cash flows. And you can see, this slide shows our actual last three cohorts. The longer dated ones are not here because they’re all well above 100%. We’re seeing more than 50% contribution profit over CAC by cohort for the last three actual cohorts. And, again, the older ones are higher than that, creating strong free cash flow generation from our existing cohorts. When you couple that with the massive addressable opportunity in the retail market, far beyond what we’ve modeled today, we think that combination allows for strong, sustained, capital-efficient growth for many years.

So, with that, I’ll pass it to my friend and business partner, Phil Moon, to walk us through the financial section.

Phil Moon

Thanks, Stu.

Before we get into the financials, there are two things I hope you take away from this section. First, we have a long track record of not only growing revenue, but also increasing the quality of our revenue. And, second, our categories are large, we’re well positioned to take share, but haven’t fully reflected this in our forecast, leaving room for us to outperform.

I love starting with this slide. I think it makes really clear the flywheel in our business. When we add more revenue, we add more data, which drives more innovation, which drives higher margins. Now, working from left to right, we’ve grown revenue quickly, at a 54% CAGR, over the last three years – with stronger growth in 2020, and slightly slower growth in 2021, as we lapped COVID. And at the same time we’ve expanded gross margin by 15 points and contribution margin by nearly 40 points.

I want to highlight, in particular, two large drivers of gross margin expansion. First, our push into higher margin categories. We started in home care, expanded into personal care, and more recently into beauty,

1-888-562-0262 1-604-929-1352 www.viavid.com

and with each of those moves, we shifted into higher AUR and higher margin categories. Secondly, within each of those categories, we’ve continued to innovate over time and increase the assortment of Grove- branded products, which of course have a higher margin profile, relative to third-party offerings.

This slide shows our strong unit economics and, more importantly, our ability to drive gains year after year. Revenue per order, which is maybe the best indication of the value we are delivering to customers, has increased from $37 to $56, and, notably, we’ve been able to increase this metric even in 2021, lapping over COVID. At the same time, we’ve been able to increasingly create trust with our consumers, driving high and increasing rates of auto-ship-recurring revenue, which now sits north of 80%. To the right, gross profit per order has more than doubled in the last three years. When combined with our high rates of auto-ship-recurring revenue, has created very stable cash generation.

Now, moving to expenses, this slide shows that we have managed costs as we have scaled. To the left, we’ve made large strides in more efficiently getting product into the hands of our customers. Even in 2021, we’ve been able to offset inflationary cost pressures in both labor and shipping with productivity gains at our fulfillment centers. The one place where we’ve continued to invest in is product development, which of course is the core of our success. Our investments here are above average for our industry and we plan to continue to invest here heavily. SG&A continues to show leverage as we’ve grown the scale of our business. This year shows a bump, which were the costs associated with public company readiness, but, over time, we expect this to continue to trend lower.

Now, looking ahead, we expect our revenues to continue to grow and for that growth to accelerate. You heard from Stu all the things that are driving revenue higher. The one thing I want to call out specifically is retail. Retail represents 3% of our revenue today and we expect that to climb to roughly 20% of our revenue in 2024. As you know, the vast majority of products in our categories are sold on a retail shelf, so there’s meaningful opportunity for us to outperform our retail projection.

This year has been a challenging one for our industry, with many of our categories down double-digits year-over-year, lapping a period of heavy consumer stock-up during COVID. While the absolute growth in our revenue have been more modest in 2021, we continue to far outpace industry growth, and we believe we are well positioned for a category rebound.

The next slide outlines the methodology that we’ve taken in putting together our forecast, which excludes multiple upside catalysts, where we’re spending time today. I won’t talk to each of these, but there’s few that are worth mentioning:

The first is international. The trends that we are seeing in consumer preferences are not unique to the U.S. These trends are even more advanced in many other parts of the world and we are working to meet that consumer demand.

The Amazon opportunity, which is the largest channel for many natural CPG brands, but one where we have not modeled meaningful revenue.

Lastly, the brand awareness synergy between our D2C and retail businesses, which we’ve already started to see the benefits of.

Now, moving on to our forecast to profitability, we expect margins to continue to expand. We’ve modeled in more modest gains than we have seen historically. We expect gross margin to reach the mid-50s by 2024, driven by continued increases in Grove brand penetration and the benefits of greater purchasing leverage. For Adjusted EBITDA, with the exception of COVID, we have a history of driving meaningful margin expansion and we expect to reach profitability by 2024.

1-888-562-0262 1-604-929-1352 www.viavid.com

Now, moving on to our long-term expectations for our financial profile, we expect to be able to grow revenue greater than 20%, given the number of greenfield opportunities ahead of us and the continued benefit from changes in consumer preferences.

Our margin is one thing worth highlighting, is that this is not a category where we have to figure out how to make money. This is a category that has always had high margins, with category leaders having EBITDA margins in the mid-20s. We are already close to these category leaders in gross margin and expect to see other profitability metrics follow suit as we increase the scale of our business.

With that, I’ll pass the mic back over to Stu.

Stuart Landesberg

Thanks so much for that.

I want to conclude by saying how fortunate I feel to be a part of such an important brand at such an important moment of transformation in our society, when consumers are demanding from companies the types of product and impact that all corporations need to deliver – and I feel grateful to you all for placing your trust in us to go execute this vision with vigor.

Thank you very much, and I look forward to answering your questions over the coming months, years, quarters – on investor calls, at conferences – in any way I can. In the meantime you can sign up at grove.co – I hope you enjoy it.

MASTER FAQ

GENERAL (employees, partners, media)

What was announced today?

●

I want to start by saying that today’s good news is thanks to everyone’s hard work and the shared belief that consumer products can and should be a positive force for human and environmental good.

●

I am incredibly proud of our team and want to thank you for your dedication and passion that have driven such success over the last several years.

●

Grove Collaborative (“Grove”) will merge with Virgin Group Acquisition Corp. II (“VGII’”), a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) sponsored by Virgin Group, and commenced a process that will result in Grove’s becoming a public company in the U.S.

●

When the deal closes, which we expect will happen in late Q1 or early Q2 2022, we will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the “GROV” ticker symbol, and we will continue to operate under the Grove Collaborative name.

●

Grove’s current management team will continue in its respective roles, and there will be no meaningful changes to how we do business. [when sharing with employees, call out “Employee Impact” section for them to learn more about communicating as a public company]

●

This step forward will enable us to build on our position as a leading sustainable consumer products company that’s fueled by a mission to transform the consumer products industry into a force for human and environmental good, and to make it easy for people to switch to healthier and more sustainable routines.

●

Leveraging this opportunity with VGII will fuel our growth and drive our continued product innovation, consumer education and enhanced customer experience. It will also help us to reach our goal of becoming 100% plastic free by 2025.

What is a SPAC?

●

A SPAC is a “special purpose acquisition company.” A SPAC merger is simply one way in which a company can go public, others include an initial public offering (“IPO”) or a direct listing.

Why did Grove Collaborative decide to go through a SPAC and not a traditional IPO or direct listing?

●

By merging with VGII to become a public company, we immediately elevate the opportunities and resources available to us as we continue to grow, including customer acquisition and access to capital that will provide significant benefits as we jointly work toward our future growth.

●

Virgin Group’s values align with ours. Their mission statement is "Virgin’s purpose is to change business for good." A partnership with them, which also comes with access to additional capital, will help us accelerate our ability to achieve Grove’s mission to change consumer products into a force for good.

●

We believe this key strategic business decision is the right course of action to take in the current market environment because it provides Grove with all the benefits that come from becoming a public company, along with a great partner to help us get there.

TRANSACTION (employees, partners, media)

Who is Virgin Group Acquisition Corp. II, (“VGII’”)?

●

Virgin Group Acquisition Corp. II (“VGII’”) is a NYSE-listed SPAC, sponsored by Virgin Group, that seeks to identify, acquire, and build the value of a company like Grove that has the potential for sustained growth.

●

And most recently, its other SPAC, Virgin Group Acquisition Corp., closed its business combination with 23andMe, a leading consumer genetics and research company.

●

With a purpose to “change business for good,” Virgin Group recognized the vast opportunities that are ahead for Grove, our exceptional brand, our commitment to sustainability and was impressed with our success as a private company.

●

●

2021E and projected growth to $600 million in 2024¹, reflecting high levels of brand engagement from customers across a diverse demographic set with repeat purchase behavior and long-term retention.

Does this mean you are a public company now?

●

Today’s announcement does not yet make us a public company nor does it guarantee that we will close the business combination. Simply put, we have signed a definitive agreement to move forward with the process.

●

There is still work ahead for us. While the transaction has unanimous approval from Grove and VGII’s boards, we must complete the SEC review process and secure shareholder approval for the transaction. This process typically takes a few months.

●

That said, we should act as if we are a public company. Please see the “Employee Impact” section below for guidance on how this impacts your external communications.

What were the terms of the acquisition?

Polman, have committed $87 million in a private placement (PIPE). The PIPE, along with cash in trust held by VGII will provide Grove with up to $435 million in cash on the balance sheet upon completion of the business combination, after transaction expenses and assuming no redemptions.

●

Additionally, VGII will nominate an appointee to the Grove board once the transaction closes.

When is the deal expected to close / when will Grove become public?

The proposed transaction is expected to close in late Q1 or early Q2 2022, we will be listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “GROV”, and we will continue to operate under the Grove Collaborative name.

●

From a day-to-day perspective, there will be no meaningful changes to the team or how we do business - as it would be business as usual.

●

However, as we enter this new chapter, there are some rules we all must follow. There will be new reporting requirements, some restrictions on financial trading, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has strict guidelines governing external communications.

●

To avoid delays or any other repercussions the SEC might impose if we do not adhere to these rules, we must avoid speaking publicly about this process and our business metrics and financials.

Accordingly, you must refrain from making statements about our Company or our performance in open forums (e.g., online, to friends, on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, via email, to existing or prospective consumers, etc.).

This means you cannot share or promote anything other than what Grove puts on our Company channels.

So while you can share the LinkedIn update and Tweet from Grove’s page, you cannot share any related news articles about the transaction or discuss the topic on social media, with family and friends, etc. Please see the social media guidelines policy in our Employee Handbook, available HERE.

●

If someone (outside of the media) asks you about Grove’s plans to go public or its company fundamentals, the best response is something polite like, “We’re really proud and excited, but it’s business as usual at Grove.”

●

If a member of the media or investor community approaches you with questions, you can say something like, “I can’t speak to that, but I would be happy to connect you with the appropriate team members.”

●

For any inquiries from the media, investors or otherwise, please forward details of the inquiry to IR@grove.co to a team who can help handle such requests appropriately during this sensitive time.

●

Additionally, if you have any plans to participate in a public event, policy forum, conference, regulatory intervention, or anything else of that nature, please check in with VP of Communications, Meika Hollender, at meika@grove.com so that we can make sure you are aware of any updated restrictions or guidance. In some cases, we may need to transcribe your remarks and submit them to the SEC.

We believe entering the public markets will significantly help us to execute our growth strategies.

●

We should all be proud of the tremendous accomplishments we have achieved as a team to get us to this point!

20.

What does this mean for my equity?

●

We know there are a lot of questions on this topic which is why starting in the new year we will host a series of sessions to go over how this transaction and our ultimate IPO will impact equity.

●

For additional questions contact equity@grove.co

21.

Can I buy stock in the company?

●

Once Grove is publicly-traded following the closing of the transaction, you will be able to purchase Grove shares in the open market. Please know, there will be certain “blackout” periods where stock cannot be bought or sold by employees (typically when we are in the process of reporting our quarterly results).

●

Going forward, you should check with Nathan Francis at nfrancis@grove.co prior to any transactions that involve the Grove’s stock.

●

It’s important to note that federal securities laws prohibit directors, officers, employees and others who are aware of material non-public information about a company from trading on that information. Disclosing material non-public information to others who then trade on it is also against the law, and both the person who discloses the information and the person who trades on it are liable. These illegal activities are commonly referred to as “insider trading.”

●

The prohibition against insider trading extends not only to trading in the Company’s securities but also to the securities of any other organization with which we do business if the employee gains the information at work.

22.

Can I buy stock in VGII now while the transaction is being processed?

●

The legal team will provide guidance internally about what employees can and cannot do with respect to buying VGII stock.

EMPLOYEE MEMO

TO:	All Employees


FROM:	Stuart Landesberg, Chief Executive Officer


RE:	Exciting company update!

Hi Team,

Today we are announcing that we’ve taken the first step to become a public company. In partnership with Virgin Group and Sir Richard Branson, we are taking a significant step in our journey to change consumer products to be a massive source of positive change.

We will be going public through a merger with Virgin Group’s VGAC II, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) that is already listed on the New York Stock Exchange (VGII). SPACs are companies formed for the sole purpose of combining with an operating business like ours to help accelerate its growth. It’s essentially an alternative path to going public and raising capital than through a traditional IPO and in this case is one that allows us to add a new, mission aligned partner with Sir Richard Branson + Virgin Group.

After the merger closes, which we expect will happen in late Q1 or early Q2 2022, Grove Collaborative, Inc. will be a wholly owned subsidiary of VGAC II which will change its name to Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. At that point, we will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the "GROV" ticker symbol.

This is exciting! But, it’s also essential that we remember that today’s announcement is just the first step in the process. There are several things that need to be completed before the transaction closes and we become a public company. While the deal has unanimous approval from Grove and VGII’s boards, we must complete the SEC review process and secure shareholder approval for the transaction. There are teams across the company that have worked hard to set us up for success here and that will continue to execute the transaction.

I know there will be lots of questions, so I will answer a few of them here. You can also read the FAQ doc here.

What does this mean for Grove?

●

It is business as usual. I will continue to be the CEO and lead the business alongside our senior leadership team.

●

Once we complete the merger and become a public company, our push to grow our impact, grow our revenue and improve our profitability will not change. Going public is a step on our journey, it is not the end but in many ways an exciting new beginning!

Why a SPAC vs. a traditional IPO?

●

A few reasons, but the biggest was about answering the question: how do we use the moment of going public to elevate our brand and improve our odds of long term success? There is no question that Virgin, whose mission statement is "Changing business for good," aligns with our long term goals.

Why Virgin?

●

The very first question that Sir Richard asked me was not about our financials, or about making money — it was "how are you going to eliminate plastic by 2025?" This is an organization that understands that success is the result first and foremost of a great mission (and then, of course, exceptional execution from all of you!)

What does this mean for each of us?

●

For now, it’s business as usual. We have arrived at this point through our hard work, creativity and thoughtful dedication to a great mission. We can’t stop in our commitment to make consumer product goods a positive force for human and environmental health. There will be a real change in that we will be doing these things in the public eye, with more eyes on every success and failure. I think we are more than ready for that challenge.

●

We should all feel super proud. Well under 0.1% of companies reach this stage. And well under 1% of publicly traded companies are Public Benefit Corporations. We are continuing to break new ground for what a mission driven business can accomplish. And it is because of all of your hard work - and because of the excellent work that I know we will deliver in the future.

Talk to me about my equity

●

Some of you have traded cash compensation for equity. After we go public there is a customary period where insiders (that's us!) can't sell stock but after that, you'll have the ability to sell your shares should you want to. We'll do a lot of education on this in the coming weeks around employee equity so everyone understands how this will work. If you have questions in the meantime please reach out to futureIPO@grove.co, and our

team will be consolidating all questions and answering the themes that surface in a forthcoming all-hands meeting.

●

We are all now insiders, and that means we cannot trade in VGAC II stock, or tell our friends, families, or even strangers anything other than what Grove formally announces.

We will be hosting a special All Hands later today at 9am PT/12pm ET to go through all of this information.

In the meantime, please reference this FAQ document which should answer many of the questions you might have.

As a reminder, if you receive any inquiries from the media, investors or otherwise, please forward details of the inquiry to our VP of Communications, Meika Hollender, at meika@grove.com and do not respond directly.

On a personal note, I also just want to say how proud I am to be your teammate, friend, and a part of this company. Most companies are founded to make money. Grove was created to change the world. And, in our little corner, we are doing it. Our existence and success has and will continue to push the whole industry to reckon more directly with the negative toll CPG exacts on the environment. All these zero-plastic innovations we see -- very few of those would exist without us. Our impact is far larger than our own story. And, I know that we are just getting started.

It calls to mind my favorite quote: Never underestimate the ability of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has. (Margaret Mead)

Any success we’ve had at Grove has been because of the extraordinary people that work at this Company. I’ll close by just saying again what a privilege it is find purpose every day changing the world with you all. Let’s go make it happen!!!

Thanks again. We’ll keep you posted as things progress.

Best,

Stu
