Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K 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, may, intend, predict, should, would, predict, potential, seem, future, outlook or other similar expressions (or negative versions of such words or 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 Zanites, Eves, Embraers and EAHs expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the business combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the business combination and the PIPE Investment, the level of redemptions by Zanites public stockholders, the timing of the completion of the Business Combination and the use of the cash proceeds therefrom. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of Zanites, Eves, Embraers and EAHs 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 may differ from assumptions, and such differences may be material. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Zanite, Eve, Embraer and EAH.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: (i) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (ii) 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 stockholders of Zanite or Eve is not obtained and or that the proposed Business Combination and the private placement of common stock are not able to concurrently close; (iii) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; (iv) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Eve; (v) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Zanite, Embraer, EAH and/or Eve following the announcement of the business combination agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (vi) future global, regional or local economic and market conditions; (vii) the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations; (viii) Eves ability to grow and manage future growth , maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its key employees; (ix) Eves ability to develop new products and solutions, bring them to market in a timely manner, and make enhancements to its platform; (x) the effects of competition on Eves future business; (xi) the amount of redemption requests made by Zanites public stockholders; (xii) the ability of Zanite or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed Business Combination or in the future; (xiii) the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; (xiv) the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation, (xv) costs related to the Business Combination, (xvi) the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic and (xvii) those factors discussed in Zanites Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading Risk Factors, and other documents of Zanite filed, or to be 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 Eve nor Zanite presently know or that Eve and Zanite 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 Eves and Zanites expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Form 8-K. Eve and Zanite anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Eves and Zanites assessments to change. However, while Eve and Zanite may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Eve and Zanite specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Eves and Zanites assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding projections, projected non-GAAP measures have not been reconciled back to the nearest GAAP measure. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. You should review the Company’s and Zanite’s audited financial statements, which will be included in the definitive proxy statement relating to the Transaction. Reconciliations of historical non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP counterparts are included in the Appendix to this presentation. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.

Such estimates constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those described under Forward-Looking Statements. 2

Fostering Development of UAM Operations Globally Eve is developing and testing a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) in selected cities to help define the airspace design, procedures and infrastructure for safely integrating eVTOL operations into low altitude urban airspace CONOPS leadership allows Eve to engage early with regulatory agencies and other key stakeholders to optimize Eve’s vehicle design and foster UAM market development by defining the rules and regulations that do not exist today Initial CONOPS locations and collaborators: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil London, UK Melbourne, Australia Miami, Florida Skyports | L3Harris Skyports | Universal Atech | Vertical Airservices Rio Galeão | ABAG | Flapper Volocopter | Skyports Community Air Mobility EDP | Beacon | Helisul London City Airport Initiative Atech | ANAC | DECEA NATS | Heathrow 46
