Risks Related to Zapp’s Business and Industry ▪ We are an early-stage company with a history of losses and expect to incur significant expenses and losses for at least the near and medium term. We may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. ▪ We are a new entrant into a new space. As we scale and expand our business, we may not be able to adequately control the costs of our operations, including managing the effects of inflation. ▪ The global automotive market is highly competitive. Specifically, the electric vehicle sector is rapidly growing and our products and services are and will be subject to strong competition from a growing list of established and new competitors. ▪ Our future growth and success are highly dependent upon consumers’ adoption of, and their demand for EVP2W vehicles and our battery solutions in a sector that is generally competitive, cyclical and volatile. ▪ Our business and prospects depend significantly on our ability to build the Zapp brand and consumers’ recognition, acceptance, and adoption of the Zapp brand. We may not succeed in continuing to maintain and strengthen the Zapp brand. ▪ We may experience delays in the design, manufacture, production, and launch of our vehicles, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. ▪ We may be unable to develop and manufacture vehicles of sufficient quality, and on schedule and scale, that would appeal to a large customer base. ▪ If we fail to achieve unit sales expectations, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be adversely impacted. ▪ Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment. ▪ As we continue to grow, we may not be able to effectively manage our growth, including with respect to our design, research, development and maintenance capabilities, which could negatively impact our brand and financial performance. ▪ The relationship of the UK and the EU could impact our ability to operate efficiently in certain jurisdictions or in certain markets. ▪ Our credit line with the Export-Import Bank of Thailand (“EXIM Bank”), which we use to finance customer orders is cancellable by EXIM Bank at any time, and we may be unable to secure financing at similar rates. ▪ We depend on suppliers, including critical and single sourced suppliers, to deliver components according to schedules, prices, quality, and volumes that are acceptable to us. We may be unable to effectively manage these suppliers. Uncertainties in the global economy may negatively impact suppliers and other business partners, which may interrupt the supply chain and require other changes to operations. These and other factors may adversely impact revenues and operating income. 37

Risks Related to Zapp’s Business and Industry (Cont’d) ▪ Increases in costs, as a result of inflation or otherwise, disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for lithium-ion battery cells and electronics subcomponents could harm our business. ▪ Leveraging contract manufacturers, including Summit Group, to contract manufacture our vehicles is subject to risks, including costs, manufacturing footprint, and manufacturing capabilities. If we are unable to maintain a relationship with Summit Group to manufacture our vehicles, our manufacturing costs may be adversely affected. ▪ We do not yet have a dealer product distribution network and do not have experience distributing directly to consumers. If we are unable to establish or maintain relationships with resellers or other retail partners or our authorized resellers or other retail partners are unable or ineffective in establishing or maintaining relationships with customers for our vehicles, our business may be adversely affected. ▪ Our ability to attract, train and retain executives and other qualified employees, including key members of management, is critical to our business, results of operations and future growth. ▪ We expect to incur research and development costs and devote significant resources to developing new products, which could significantly reduce our profitability and may never result in revenue to us. ▪ We may face challenges in expanding our business and operations internationally and our ability to conduct business in markets may be adversely affected by legal, regulatory, political, and economic risks. ▪ If our vehicle owners modify our vehicles regardless of whether third-party aftermarket products are used, the vehicle may not operate properly, which may create negative publicity and could harm our business. ▪ If we are unable to establish and maintain confidence in our long-term business prospects among customers and analysts and within our industry or are subject to negative publicity, then our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may suffer materially. ▪ Changes in industry standards may lead to uncertainty, additional competition and further unexpected costs. ▪ Our financial results may vary significantly from period to period due to fluctuations in our operating costs, product demand, and other factors. ▪ We collect and process certain information about our customers and their vehicles and are subject to various privacy and consumer protection laws. ▪ If we fail to offer high-quality customer service covering the delivery and after-sales care of our vehicles, or fail to maintain a superior customer support experience, our business and reputation will suffer. ▪ Our industry and its technology are rapidly evolving and may be subject to unforeseen changes. Developments in alternative technologies or improvements in current and future enabling and competitive technologies, including alternatives to electricity as a fuel source, may adversely affect the demand for our vehicles. ▪ Our business may suffer if our products or features contain defects or fail to perform as expected. We may choose to or be compelled to undertake product recalls or take other similar actions, which could adversely affect our brand image, business, and results of operations. ▪ We are subject to cybersecurity risks to our various systems and software and any material failure, weakness, interruption, cyber event, incident or breach of security could prevent us from effectively operating our business. ▪ Vehicle retail sales depend heavily on affordable interest rates, credit risk, and availability of credit for vehicle financing and a substantial increase in interest rates or decrease in availability of credit could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. ▪ Our vehicles make use of lithium-ion battery cells; lithium-ion battery cells have been observed to catch fire or vent smoke and flame, which could, among other things, cause harm to others, result in property damage and reputational damage, and subject us to lawsuits that could have a negative effect on our financial condition and the battery’s range and life will 38 deteriorate with usage and time.

Risks Related to Zapp’s Business and Industry (Cont’d) ▪ We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims. ▪ Our insurance coverage strategy may not be adequate to protect us from all business risks. ▪ We may be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. If the outcomes of these proceedings are adverse to us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. ▪ We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws, and noncompliance with such laws can subject us to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation. ▪ We and our supply chain partners are subject to numerous regulations. Unfavorable changes to, or failure by us, or our supply chain partners to comply with these regulations could substantially harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. ▪ We are or may be subject to risks associated with strategic alliances or acquisitions, which could require significant management attention, disrupt the business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results. ▪ Changes in international trade policy, including the continuation or imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. ▪ Any financial or economic crisis, or perceived threat of such a crisis, including a significant decrease in consumer confidence, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. ▪ If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations, meet our reporting obligations, or prevent fraud. ▪ Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may be identified, and if we fail to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations, meet our reporting obligations or prevent fraud. ▪ Unexpected termination of leases, failure to renew the lease of our existing premises or to renew such leases at acceptable terms could materially and adversely affect our business. ▪ Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. ▪ Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers may materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. ▪ We may seek to obtain future financing through the issuance of debt or equity, and such financing may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which may have an adverse effect on our shareholders or may otherwise adversely affect our business. ▪ Our subsidiary in Thailand is subject to restrictions on foreign ownership in Thailand. ▪ We may grant options and other types of awards under our share incentive plan, which may result in increased share-based compensation expenses. ▪ We may be unable to complete ESG initiatives, in whole or in part, which could lead to less opportunity for us to have ESG investors and partners and could negatively impact ESG- focused investors when evaluating our business. ▪ Certain data and information in this presentation were obtained from third-party sources and were not independently verified by us. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on such information. 39

Risks Related to Zapp’s Business and Industry (Cont’d) ▪ Our business prospects, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected by pandemics (including COVID-19) and epidemics, natural disasters, actual or threatened war (including the conflict in Ukraine), terrorist activities, political unrest, and other outbreaks. ▪ We may need to defend ourselves against intellectual property right infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and would cause us to incur substantial costs. We may incur significant costs and expenses in connection with protecting and enforcing its intellectual property rights, including through litigation. ▪ If we are unable to maintain, protect or enforce our rights in our proprietary technology, brands or other intellectual property, our competitive advantage, business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. ▪ Our use of “open source” software could subject our proprietary software to general release, adversely affect our ability to sell our products and services, and subject us to possible litigation, claims or proceedings. ▪ We will depend initially on revenue generated from one model of the electric vehicle, and in the foreseeable future, we will continue to be significantly dependent on a limited number of models. ▪ The unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives or government policies which are favorable for electric vehicles or the imposition of new or additional regulations, including local, municipal or country-specific regulations, on electric vehicles or components contained in our vehicles could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. ▪ Our inability to obtain and/or retain necessary licenses and permits to operate our business may negatively impact our financial results. ▪ Concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions. ▪ Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will affect our financial results, which we report in U.S. Dollars. Risks Related to CIIG II and the Business Combination ▪ CIIG II’s directors and officers have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that CIIG II’s stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the business combination agreement relating to the proposed Business Combination and approval of the other proposals to be described in the proxy statement/prospectus to be filed relating to the proposed Business Combination. ▪ CIIG II’s sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to vote in favor of the proposed Business Combination, regardless of how CIIG II’s public stockholders vote. ▪ CIIG II’s sponsor beneficially owns a significant equity interest in CIIG II and may take actions that conflict with your interest. ▪ The combined company will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the proposed Business Combination. ▪ The consummation of the proposed Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the business combination agreement to be entered into for the proposed Business Combination may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the proposed Business Combination may not be completed. ▪ The ability to successfully effect the proposed Business Combination and the combined company’s ability to successfully operate the business thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of Zapp. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and financial results of the combined company. ▪ Following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, the combined company will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations. ▪ There is no guarantee that a CIIG II stockholder’s decision to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position. 40

Risks Related to CIIG II and the Business Combination (Cont’d) ▪ If the proposed Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of CIIG II’s securities or, following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, the combined company’s securities, may decline. ▪ Legal proceedings may be instituted against the proposed Business Combination, which could delay or prevent or otherwise adversely impact the proposed Business Combination. ▪ The proposed Business Combination or the combined company may be materially adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak. ▪ Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to consummate the proposed Business Combination, and results of operations. ▪ CIIG II may be forced to close the proposed Business Combination even if it determines that it is no longer in CIIG II stockholders’ best interest. ▪ CIIG II’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the proposed Business Combination. ▪ CIIG II is dependent upon its directors and officers and their loss could adversely affect CIIG II’s ability to complete the proposed Business Combination. ▪ CIIG II’s sponsor, directors, officers and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares from CIIG II’s public stockholders, which may influence a vote on the proposed Business Combination and reduce CIIG II’s public “float.” ▪ Delays in completing the proposed Business Combination may substantially reduce the expected benefits of the proposed Business Combination. ▪ If CIIG II is unable to complete this proposed Business Combination, or another business combination, within its prescribed time frame, CIIG II would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeem all of CIIG II’s public shares and liquidate. ▪ If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to its public stockholders, CIIG II files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against CIIG II that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of CIIG II’s stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by CIIG II’s stockholders in connection with its liquidation may be reduced. ▪ If third parties bring claims against CIIG II, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10 per share. ▪ If, after CIIG II distributes the proceeds in the trust account to its public stockholders, it files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against CIIG II that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and CIIG II and its board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages. ▪ CIIG II’s assessment of the capabilities of Zapp’s management to continue Zapp’s growth transition may prove to be incorrect, which could negatively impact the value of the continuing investment of CIIG II stockholders. ▪ CIIG II’s due diligence investigation of Zapp and factors affecting its business may not surface all material issues, including issues or circumstances that could have a significant negative effect on Zapp’s financial condition and results of operations, which could cause CIIG II stockholders to lose some or all of their continuing investment. ▪ Even if CIIG II consummates the proposed Business Combination, there is no guarantee that the public warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless. ▪ The grant and future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of the combined company’s securities upon consummation of the proposed Business Combination. ▪ Nasdaq may not continue to list Zapp’s securities following the proposed Business Combination, which could limit investors’ ability to make transaction in Zapp’s securities and subject Zapp to additional trading restrictions. ▪ Substantial future sales of CIIG II’s Class A common stock could cause the market price of CIIG II’s Class A common stock to decline. 41

Risks Related to Investment in a Cayman Islands Company and PubCo’s Status as a FPI ▪ PubCo will qualify as a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such PubCo is exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies. ▪ As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, PubCo is permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to domestic U.S. companies; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if PubCo complied fully with the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. ▪ You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because PubCo is incorporated under the law of the Cayman Islands, PubCo conducts substantially all of its operations and a majority of its directors and executive officers reside outside of the United States. ▪ It is not expected that PubCo will pay dividends in the foreseeable future after the Business Combination. 42
