Words such as “continue,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “expected,” “plans,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, many of which are generally outside the control of Mullen and are difficult to predict. Examples of such risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to (i) whether increased demand across CAMPUS, Class 1 and Class 3 EVs and PowerUP charging trucks will continue; (ii) whether Mullen will achieve its battery module and pack development objectives, including the timing and anticipated range increases for the development of the solid-state battery packs; (iii) whether the Company will regain full Nasdaq compliance as expected; (iv) the outcome of Mullen Advanced Energy’s pre-application to the U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program; (v) the timing and outcome of the Mullen and RRDS final Ruling Request Application regarding its Class 1 EV cargo van; (vi) the timing and outcome of Bollinger B4 production and deliveries; (vii) whether the projected timelines for the development and production of the high-performance Mullen FIVE RS limited-edition will be realized; (viii) whether the Mullen-GO will prove successful; (vix) the timing of manufacturing, production and availability of Mullen vehicles to customers, including future vehicle production capacity for the Class 1 Class 3 and B4, Class 4 vehicles, and timely completion and launch of Mullen FIVE RS in the European market;; (x) Mullen’s ability (or inability) to obtain additional financing in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms when needed; (xi) Mullen’s ability to maintain existing, and secure additional, contracts with manufacturers, parts and other service providers relating to its business; (xii) Mullen’s ability to successfully expand in existing markets and enter new markets; (xiii) Mullen’s ability to successfully manage and integrate any acquisitions of businesses, solutions or technologies; (xiv) unanticipated operating costs, transaction costs and actual or contingent liabilities; (xv) the ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel; (xvi) adverse effects of increased competition on Mullen’s business; (xvii) changes in government licensing and regulation that may adversely affect Mullen’s business; (xviii) the risk that changes in consumer behavior could adversely affect Mullen’s business; (xix) Mullen’s ability to protect its intellectual property; and (xx) local, industry and general business and economic conditions. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements can be found in the most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed by Mullen with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mullen anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause its plans, intentions and expectations to change. Mullen assumes no obligation, and it specifically disclaims any intention or obligation, to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by law. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and should not be relied upon as representing Mullen’s plans and expectations as of any subsequent date.
