Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or TCAC's or SpringBig's future financial or operating performance. For example, statements about the expected timing of the completion of the Business Combination, the benefits of the Business Combination, the competitive environment, and the expected future performance (including future revenue, pro format enterprise value, and cash balance) and market opportunities of SpringBig are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "expect," "intend," "will," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "predict," "potential" or "continue," or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by TCAC and its management, and SpringBig and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against TCAC, SpringBig, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of TCAC or to satisfy other conditions to closing, including the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following any redemptions; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards at or following the consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of SpringBig as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that SpringBig or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) the limited operating history of SpringBig; (12) the SpringBig business is subject to significant governmental regulation; (13) the SpringBig business may not successfully expand into other markets; (14) the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its impact on business and debt and equity markets; (15) operating a business in the cannabis industry; and (16) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in TCAC's Registration Statement on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on December 31, 2021, and which will be set forth in a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by TCAC with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination.

Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Except as may be required by law, neither TCAC nor SpringBig undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.
