Non - GAAP Financial Measures: This Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principl es (“GAAP”), including, but not limited to, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA before capital expenditure (“Free Cash Flow”), total debt less cash and cash equivalents (“Ne t D ebt”) and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. Note that other companies may calculate these non - GAAP financial measures differently, and, therefore, such financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of oth er companies. Further, these non - GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Drilling Tools’ financial results. Therefore, these me asures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that SPAC’s, Combined Co’s and Drilling Tools’ presen tat ion of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. SPAC, Combined Co and Drilling Tools believe these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regar ding certain financial and business trends relating to Drilling Tools’ financial condition and results of operations. SPAC, Combined Co and Drilling Tools believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investo rs to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in Drilling Tools, and in comparing Drilling Tools’ financial me asu res with those of other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. These non - GAAP fi nancial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which items of expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures. Please refer to footnotes where presented on each page of this Presentation or to the tables therein for a reconciliation of these measures to what Drilling Tools believes are the most directly comparable measure evaluated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of histori cal non - GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures are provided on page 42.This Presentation also includes certain projections of non - GAAP financial measures. Drilling Tools does not provide reconciliations of EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, EBITDA margin (the re sult obtained from dividing EBITDA by revenue) or Free Cash Flow margin (the result obtained from dividing Free Cash Flow by revenue) to net income on a forward - looking basis because Drilling Tools is unable to forecast the amount or significance of cer tain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. These items includ e gains or losses on sale or consolidation transactions, accelerated depreciation, impairment charges, gains or losses on retir eme nt of debt, variations in effective tax rate and fluctuations in net working capital, which are difficult to predict and esti mat e and are primarily dependent on future events, but which are excluded from Drilling Tools’ calculations of EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Free Ca sh Flow, and Free Cash Flow margin. Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this Presentation hav e been subject to rounding adjustments. We expect the variability of these items could have a significant impact on our reporte d G AAP financial results. Certain other amounts that appear in this Presentation may not sum due to rounding. In connection with the filing by SPAC of its preliminary proxy statement / prospectus / consent solicitation statement on Form S - 4 with respect to the proposed business combination, and in the course of the review by the SEC of such preliminary proxy statement / prospectus / consent solicitati on statement, SPAC may make changes to the information presented in this Presentation, including, without limitation, the descri pti on of Drilling Tools’ business and the financial information and other data (including the prospective financial information and ot her data) included in this Presentation. Comments by the SEC on information in the preliminary proxy statement / prospectus / consent solicitation statement may require modification or reformulation of the information we present in this Presentation, and any such modification or reformulation could be significant. In particular, we note that the SEC has adopted certain rules re ga rding the use of EBITDA and other financial measures that do not comply with GAAP in the United States, which rules will be applica ble to the preliminary proxy statement / prospectus / consent solicitation statement which has been filed with respect to the proposed business combination.

Why do E&P operators and some service providers prefer to rent rather than buy? 13 The Rental Tool Business & DTI’s Value Proposition Topic DTI’s Value - Additive Solutions Outsources Logistics, Inspection, Storage and Maintenance Customers lack the willingness, resources and/or experience to track, transport, store, maintain and inspect tubing, drill pipe and other equipment DTI has the resources to make renting downhole tools a reliable and economical choice for customers including a large physical infrastructure, proprietary inventory management system, as well as needed inspection, repair, and hardfacing to support the fleet of rental equipment Eliminates Equipment Redeployment Risk Inefficient to own comprehensive fleet of expensive equipment specifically designed for formations / regions By serving a broad customer base, DTI can efficiently deploy specialized equipment across major U.S. oil & gas regions Immediate Equipment Availability Modern well designs require highly specialized equipment that is not typically carried on drilling or workover rigs DTI owns a wide variety of equipment available for use 24/7, along with extensive machining capabilities to rapidly meet customer needs Fill Equipment Supply Gaps Many drillers and well service providers maintain only a small core set of tubing and drill pipe DTI’s inventory includes equipment required for extended reach laterals as well as a range of specialty or premium products that are needed to withstand the rigors of deep unconventional wells Focus Capex On Core Operations Industry shift towards lean capital programs DTI’s rental equipment allows operators to focus capex investment on core businesses Simplifies Working Interest Partner Expense Allocation The perception of excessive charges can lead to disputes among working interest partners DTI as a service provider eliminates the need for an E&P operator to charge working interest partners a substantial fee for the purchase of equipment Customer Challenges Given the complexity of modern drilling, completions and workover programs, most drillers and service providers prefer to foc us on core competencies and rely on third - parties for the rental, repair, inspection and inventory management of downhole drilling tools

Volatility and declines in oil and gas prices may adversely affect our financia l condition and results of operation. • We operate in a highly competitive industry, and the introduction of new products and technologies by our competitors, as wel l a s the expiration of the intellectual property rights protecting our products and technologies, could lead to lower revenue an d earnings. • We are dependent on a relatively small number of customers in a single industry. The loss of an important customer could adve rse ly affect our results of operations and financial condition. • A portion of our revenue is derived from our non - United States operations and sales, which exposes us to additional risks inhere nt in doing business in other countries. • If we fail to continue to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability and design of our products in a man ner that responds to our customers’ evolving needs, our business may be adversely affected. • Quality inconsistency, defects and product failures could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial co ndi tion, results of operations and prospects. • We may be unable to manage our growth effectively. • A financial downturn could negatively affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. • Inflation may increase the cost of operations beyond what we can recover through price increases. • Events outside of our control, including an epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease, such as COVID - 19, may materially adve rsely affect our business. • Cyberattacks or other failures in telecommunications or IT systems could result in client or proprietary information theft, d ata corruption and significant disruption of our business operations.

Risks Relating to Legal and Regulatory Matters • We could be adversely affected if we fail to comply with any of the numerous existing or future federal, state, local and for eig n laws, regulations and policies that govern environmental protection, manufacturing and other matters applicable to our businesses. • The legal and regulatory landscape concerning oil & gas is complex and constantly changing. The adoption of any future feder al, state, local or foreign laws or regulations imposing reporting obligations on, banning or in any other way limiting hydraulic fracturing, land or offshore drilling, or any other aspect of oil and gas exploration could make it more difficult for our cl ien ts to complete natural gas and oil wells, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations a nd financial condition. • We may be unable to protect our proprietary rights in our products, technologies and processes. • Legislative or regulatory initiatives, conservation measures or technological advances could reduce demand for oil and gas an d, in turn, reduce demand for our products. • Climate change laws and regulations restricting emissions of greenhouse gasses could result in increased operating costs and red uced demand for our products. • Our business exposes us to potential environmental, product or personal injury liability. • We may not have adequate insurance for potential environmental, product or personal injury liabilities. 43 Risk Factors
