Forward Looking Statement Disclosure:

Statements in this press release about future expectations, plans and prospects, as well as any other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, may constitute “forward-looking statements.” These statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to: the Company’s expectations as to the timing of its delisting and deregistration process; the anticipated benefits and cost savings of such actions; and other statements that are not historical facts. The words, without limitation, “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these or similar identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement. Important factors that could cause actual events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein include actions taken or to be taken by the Supervisory Board or the Company’s auditors in connection with the Supervisory Board’s findings with respect to the previously disclosed investigation. In particular, the Supervisory Board’s findings may continue to adversely affect the Company’s ability to file the 2022 20-F and other required reports with the SEC in the anticipated time frame or at all. Other important factors include the risks described under Item 3. “Key Information—D. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on these forward-looking statements, and we qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on the current expectations of VIA’s management team and speak only as of the date hereof, and VIA specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
