Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this Current Report includes “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be
identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,”
“forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,”
“target,” “result,” “follow,” “to be,” “extend,” “shall,” “may” or other similar
expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not
statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial
and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and market share,
expectations and timing related to commercial product launches, potential
benefits of the transaction and expectations related to the terms and timing of
the transaction. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or
not identified in this Current Report, and on the current expectations of
Oculis’s and EBAC’s management and are not predictions of actual performance.
These forward-looking statements 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 prediction or a definitive statement of fact or
probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to
predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances
are beyond the control of Oculis and EBAC. These forward-looking statements are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic
and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the
inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed
business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory 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
proposed business combination or that the approval of the shareholders of Oculis
or EBAC is not obtained; changes to the proposed structure of the proposed
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 proposed business combination; the risk that the proposed
business combination disrupts current plans and operations of Oculis as a result
of the announcement and consummation of the proposed business combination;
failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business
combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial
information with respect to Oculis; the ability for Oculis Holding AG (“New
Parent”) to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of
the proposed business combination; future global, regional or local economic and
market conditions; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and
regulations; Oculis’s ability to manage future growth; the effects of
competition on Oculis’ future business; the amount of redemption requests made
by EBAC’s public shareholders; the ability of EBAC or the combined company to
issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed
business combination or in the future; the outcome of any potential litigation,
government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries against
Oculis or EBAC; and those factors discussed in EBAC’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022, under the heading “Risk Factors” filed
with the SEC on August 15, 2022, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading “Risk Factors,” the registration

No. 333-268201) (the “Registration Statement”) under the heading “Risk Factors”

filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by
these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither
EBAC nor Oculis presently know or that EBAC nor Oculis currently believe are
immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained
in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements
reflect EBAC’s or Oculis’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and
views as of the date of this Current Report. EBAC and Oculis anticipate that
subsequent events and developments will cause EBAC’s or Oculis’s assessments to
change. However, while EBAC and Oculis may elect to update these forward-looking
statements at some point in the future, EBAC and Oculis specifically disclaim
any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied
upon as representing EBAC’s or Oculis’s assessments as of any date subsequent to
the date of this Current Report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be
placed upon the forward-looking statements.
