ボルタスまたは結合後の会社が他の経済的要因、事業上の要因、競争要因により悪影響を受ける可能性、11) ボルタスの財務業績の推定、12) 企業結合が適時に完了しないか全く完了しないリスク（これは、ブロードスケールの証券の価格に悪影響を及ぼす可能性がある）、13)

2022年3月18日にSECに提出したフォームS-4によるブロードスケールの登録届出書の修正（ファイルNo. 333-262287）の「Risk Factors」および「Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements」と題されたセクション、およびブロードスケールが随時SECに提出する書類に記載されたその他のリスクおよび不確実性が含まれますが、これらに限定されません。これらの提出書類は、実際の事象や結果が将来見通しに関する記述に含まれたものと大きく異なる原因となる可能性のあるその他の重要なリスクおよび不確実性を特定し、対処しています。本プレスリリースにおけるいかなる記述も、そこに記載された将来見通しに関する記述が達成されることや、そうした将来見通しに関する記述において予期された何らかの結果が達成されることに対する何らかの人物による保証を意味すると見なされるべきではありません。将来見通しに関する記述は作成日時点のものにすぎず、これに過度に依拠すべきではありません。ブロードスケール、ボルタスのいずれも、ブロードスケール、ボルタスまたは結合後の会社が予想される結果を達成することを保証するものではありません。ブロードスケール、ボルタスのいずれも、法的に義務付けられる場合を除き、これらの将来見通しに関する記述を更新する義務を負うものではありません。

("Broadscale") (Nasdaq: SCLE)簽訂企業合併協議。根據該協定，Voltus可望成為一家上市公司。該交易目前預期將於2022年第三季完成，並需要得到Broadscale股東批准，由美國證券交易委員會宣佈註冊聲明生效，並滿足其他慣例成交條件。 前瞻性陳述 本新聞稿包含1995年《美國私人證券訴訟改革法》、經修訂的《1933年證券法》第27A節（《證券法》）和經修訂的《1934年證券交易法》第21E節所界定的某些「前瞻性陳述」，包括某些財務預測和推測。除歷史事實陳述以外，本新聞稿中包含的所有其他陳述均為前瞻性陳述，包括關於未來營運結果和財務狀況、收入和其他指標、規劃的產品和服務、業務策略和計畫、Voltus市場規模和成長機會的未來經營管理目標、競爭地位、科技和市場趨勢的陳述等。其中一些前瞻性陳述可以從使用前瞻性詞語來識別，包括「可能」、「應該 」、「預期 」、「打算 」、「將 」、「估計 」、「預計 」、「相信 」、「預告 」、「計畫 」、「目標 」、「預測 」、「可能 」、「會 」、「繼續 」、「預想 」，或這些術語的否定或變化形式或類似表達。所有前瞻性陳述都會受到風險、不確定性和其他因素的影響，這些因素可能導致實際結果與此類前瞻性陳述中明示或暗示的結果存在重大差異。所有前瞻性陳述均依據估計、預測和假設，雖然Broadscale及其管理層、Voltus及其管理層（視情況而定）認為這些估計、預測和假設是合理的，但它們本身具有不確定性，許多因素可能導致實際結果與當前預期存在重大差異，其中包括但不限於：1)發生可能導致企業合併的最終合併協議終止的任何事件、變更或其他情況；2)宣佈企業合併後，可能對Voltus、Broadscale、合併後公司或其他人提起的任何法律訴訟的結果以及與之相關的任何最終協議；3)未能獲得Broadscale或Voltus股東的批准，或未能滿足完成企業合併的其他條件，導致無法完成企業合併；4)由於適用法律或法規的要求或是獲得企業合併監管批准的條件，改變企業合併的擬議結構可能是必要的或適當的；5)企業合併完成後能否符合納斯達克上市標準；6)因宣佈和完成企業合併而干擾Voltus目前計畫和營運的風險；7)無法實現企業合併的預期效益，它可能會受到競爭、合併後公司獲利性成長和管理成長的能力、與客戶和供應商保持關係以及留住其管理層和關鍵員工等因素的影響；8)與企業合併有關的成本；9)適用法律法規的變更；10) Voltus或合併後公司可能受到其他經濟、商業和/或競爭因素的不利影響；11) Voltus對其財務業績的估計；12)可能無法及時完成或根本無法完成企業合併的風險，這可能會對Broadscale股票的價格產生不利影響；13)可能無法在Broadscale的企業合併截止日期前完成交易的風險，以及如果Broadscale要求，可能無法獲得延長企業合併截止日期的風險；14)新冠疫情及其任何突變或變種病毒的影響，以及它其對商業和財務狀況的影響；15)無法完成與企業合併有關的PIPE投資；以及16) Broadscale於2022年3月18日遞交給美國證券交易委員會的Form S-4（檔案號碼333-262287）註冊聲明修訂版（「註冊聲明」），以及Broadscale不時向美國證券交易委員會遞交的其他文件中標題為「風險因素」和「關於前瞻性陳述的警示說明」的章節中所述的其他風險和不確定性。這些備案文件確定並說明了可能導致實際事件和結果與前瞻性陳述中所含內容存在重大差異的其他重要風險和不確定性。本新聞稿中的任何內容均不應被視為任何人表示將達成本新聞稿中所述的前瞻性陳述，或表示將達成此類前瞻性陳述的任何預期結果。您不應過度依賴前瞻性陳述，因為它僅代表作出陳述之日的預期。Broadscale或Voltus均不保證Broadscale、Voltus或其合併後的公司將達成其預期結果。除非法律另有要求，否則Broadscale和Voltus均無義務更新這些前瞻性陳述。 對預測的使用 本新聞稿可能包含關於Voltus的財務預測。Voltus的獨立審計師和Broadscale的獨立註冊會計師事務所均未針對將預測納入本新聞稿而對其進行審計、審查、編製或執行任何程序，因此，雙方均未就本新聞稿發表意見或提供任何其他形式的保證。這些預測不應被視為必然表明未來的結果。本新聞稿中包含的預測財務資訊構成前瞻性資訊。這些預測財務資訊所依據的假設和估計具有固有的不確定性，並受到各種重大商業、經濟、競爭和其他風險和不確定性的影響，這些風險和不確定性可能導致實際結果與預期財務資訊中所含的結果存在重大差異。請參閱上文「前瞻性陳述」。實際結果可能與本新聞稿中包含的預測財務資訊所預期的結果存在重大差異，本新聞稿中包含的此類資訊不應被視為任何人對這些預期所反映的結果將會實現的陳述。 其他資訊及查找途徑 就擬議交易而言，Broadscale已向美國證券交易委員會遞交了註冊聲明，其中包括初步委託書和初步招股說明書。註冊聲明被宣佈生效後，Broadscale將在擬議交易投票的記錄日期之前，郵寄一份與擬議交易相關的最終委託書/招股說明書給股東。請Broadscale的股東和其他利害關係者仔細閱讀註冊聲明，包括初步委託書/初步招股說明書及其任何修訂內容，以及最終委託書/招股說明書和與擬議交易相關的其他文件，因為這些材料已經或即將包含有關擬議交易和擬議交易各方的重要資訊。 Broadscale的股東和其他利害關係者將能夠在美國證券交易委員會維護的網站(www.sec.gov)上免費取得註冊聲明、初步委託書/初步招股說明書、最終委託書/招股說明書，以及已經或即將遞交給美國證券交易委員會的所有其他相關文件的副本（如可用）。 Broadscale遞交給美國證券交易委員會的文件也可在Broadscale網站(https://www.broadscalespac.com)上免費取得，或書面發函至1845 Walnut Street, Suite 1111, Philadelphia, PA 19103索取。 美國證券交易委員會和任何國家證券監管機構均未批准或否定本新聞稿中所述的交易，也未對企業合併或相關交易的優點或公平性做出評論，也未對本新聞稿中揭露資訊的充分性或正確性做出評論。任何相反陳述均構成刑事犯罪。 徵集代理權的參與者 Broadscale和Voltus及其各自的董事和高階主管人員可被視為從Broadscale股東處徵集與擬議交易有關代理權的參與者。Broadscale股東和其他利害關係者可免費獲得註冊聲明中列出的Broadscale董事和高階主管人員的更多詳細資訊。根據美國證券交易委員會的規定，可能被視為與擬議企業合併相關的Broadscale股東委託書徵集參與者的相關資訊均載於註冊聲明中。 非要約或要約邀請 本新聞稿不打算也不構成出售要約或購買、出售或索取任何證券或任何代理、投票或批准的要約邀請。如在根據司法管轄區的證券法註冊或取得資格之前，在該司法管轄區內出售證券屬非法行為，則不得在這些管轄區出售此等證券。除非以符合《證券法》第10節要求的招股說明書形式，否則不得視為發出證券要約。 免責聲明：本公告之原文版本乃官方授權版本。譯文僅供方便瞭解之用，煩請參照原文，原文版本乃唯一具法律效力之版本。

Le lecteur est invité à ne pas accorder une confiance excessive aux déclarations prospectives, qui ne sont valables qu'à la date à laquelle elles sont formulées. Ni Broadscale ni Voltus ne garantissent que Broadscale ou Voltus ou la société regroupée atteindront les résultats espérés.

SAN FRANCISCO & BOSTONSAN FRANCISCO & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voltus, Inc. (“Voltus”), the leading DER software platform, announced today that its nearly 2,600 MW portfolio is prepared to help meet anticipated supply shortages this summer across the U.S. and Canada. In a recently published report, the North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) warned that Texas, New England, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), and parts of the West are at higher risk of energy shortfalls. “Unfortunately, consumers should expect their energy costs to increase substantially and remain at higher levels for the foreseeable future,” said Gregg Dixon, CEO of Voltus. “Consumers are now paying the price for a lack of long-term investment in electricity infrastructure that can no longer be put off. As a result, there is also a greater risk of power outages from a lack of sufficient supply and reliable resources.” Dixon explains that utilizing distributed energy resources and paying energy consumers to be part of the solution is key to preserving the integrity and reliability of the electric grid. “With the summer months upon us, you can’t build traditional power plants that take years to develop, to fill the gap. The good news is that regulators and grid operators can unleash the power of distributed energy resources at tremendous scale and speed to address impending power outages. Voltus stands ready to help in every region with our virtual power plants.” Voltus’s DER portfolio has grown to approximately 2,600 MW in 2022, which includes approximately 500 MW that was announced to support MISO after it released the results of its 2022-2023 annual Planning Resource Auction (PRA), which indicated capacity shortfalls. Voltus’s portfolio includes every DER type, including energy storage, distributed generation, demand response, and energy efficiency and is delivered through every customer class, including commercial, industrial, and residential customers. Voltus has expanded its available programs to customers, growing to nearly sixty programs in 2022, including quick-response programs activated across seven power markets. “Quick-response programs, or Operating Reserves, provide grid support during contingency events and are part of routine grid balancing, often to balance the intermittency of a growing renewables fleet in North America,” said Dana Guernsey, Chief Product Officer at Voltus. “By offering Operating Reserves, Voltus delivers the same full-stack grid services provided by a traditional central power station.” For more information on preparing your business for peak season, contact info@voltus.co, or join Voltus’s webinar on June 21, 2022 at 1pm ET for additional information.

SAN FRANCISCO & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voltus, Inc. (“Voltus”), the leading DER software platform, announces today that its nearly 500 MW MISO portfolio is prepared to help meet anticipated supply shortages this summer. MISO’s 2022/2023 Capacity Auction last month revealed critical gaps in accredited capacity due to the increase in intermittent generation and the ongoing retirement of thermal generation across the region. As a result, customers in seven MISO zones spanning eleven US states have an increased risk of controlled outages to maintain system reliability this summer. "Voltus entered the MISO market in 2016 with the foresight that demand-side resources would be a necessary backstop as our electricity grid transitioned from traditional fossil fuel generation to intermittent renewable sources of energy,” explains Matthew Plante, President. “The recent auction results reveal that we’re at a critical juncture where DERs must be leveraged to fill this gap and ensure the reliability and affordability of our electricity grid and the safety of our communities moving forward. Voltus’s portfolio of DERs is ready now to provide critical electricity grid relief.” Plante explains that Voltus could be doing even more to help the electricity grid this summer. “We have been beating this drum for years: the reliability and affordability of the electric grid and the well-being of our communities are being jeopardized by state-level Public Utility Commissions’ (PUC) bans on demand side resources from participating in these markets. Nine out of the eleven MISO states that have banned aggregators from delivering all available demand response - Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin - fall within the seven MISO zones most at risk for blackouts and brownouts.” Plante emphasizes, “Voltus could add an additional 1,000 MWs to its existing MISO portfolio this summer through existing customer relationships across these states if these bans are lifted. We are working at all levels to press for the removal of these bans, thus reducing the likelihood of blackouts that harm the economy, the environment, and lead to the loss of lives.” Voltus has been at the forefront of advocating for regulatory changes at the federal level, urging FERC to pass a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR), which would disabuse state level bans entirely. Other groups, including the Industrial Energy Consumers of America (IECA), are also speaking out. Paul Cicio, IECA President, in Monday’s press release stated, “It is of immediate importance that FERC issue the NOPR that would reverse the state demand response Opt Out to avoid high electricity costs and serious reliability problems as early as this summer. This action will reduce inflation, electricity costs, and improve reliability.” Voltus encourages customers across MISO to prepare for this summer’s potential shortfalls by enrolling in DER programs immediately. Participating in these programs not only provides an early warning of pending brownouts and blackouts, but also creates an additional revenue stream for these businesses.
