DISCLAIMERS & DISCLOSURES

Version 2003•August 1, 2021


SECURITIES DISCLAIMER

The following disclaimers and disclosures are made by Forge Global, Inc. and its
subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Forge”) concerning the information
displayed on or made available via Forge’s Platform. Use of the Platform and
these disclaimers and disclosures are subject to the Platform’s Terms of Use;
any capitalized term used but not defined in these disclaimers and disclosures
will have the meaning provided in the Platform Terms of Use.

Forge does not (i) advise parties on the merits of a particular transaction,
(ii) assist in negotiation, transaction, or financial dealings between users or
with the issuer of company shares, (iii) assist in the fair market value of any
security or investment, or (iv) provide legal, tax or advisory services to its
users. An offer or solicitation can be made only through the delivery of the
final offering and purchase document(s) and will be subject to the terms and
conditions and risks delivered in such documents. Valuations are approximate
based on analysis of data that has been publicly disclosed. The public
information incorporated into Forge’s analysis may be incomplete and has not
been independently corroborated by Forge. There may exist material non-public
information that impacts valuation. Valuations are intended to be illustrative
rather than definitive and are subject to change. Investors should conduct their
own research and analysis on companies of interest and should not rely on
Forge’s analysis. Valuation and capitalization table data has not been confirmed
or approved by the issuer or any specialist valuation experts. Any graphs may
deviate from linear scale for presentation purposes. Outstanding share count is
based on available public data and assumes a fully distributed option pool. Any
information relating to fully diluted shares outstanding, or other
company-related financing or capitalization information, are estimates only and
should be independently verified by each user in connection with any investment
opportunity.

All investment opportunities are based on non-binding indications of interest
from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Opportunity size and price-per-share
figures do not include transaction fees or fees charged by Forge Securities LLC.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An
investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a
high degree of risk and should only be considered a long-term investment. You
must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company
securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no assurance that your
investment objectives will be attained or guarantee that a market will develop
for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks and you
should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment,
including obtaining additional information about the company, opinions,
financial projections and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly,
investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors
who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.
Inherent, actual or potential conflicts of interest may exist between you and
Forge.

Under no circumstances should any person make trading decisions based solely on
the information provided on Forge. We are not a qualified financial advisor, and
you should not construe any information discussed herein to constitute
investment advice. It is strictly informational in nature. You are solely
responsible for making your own investment decisions and any consequences
relating to such decisions.

Total closed transaction volume includes representation of buyers and sellers in
securities transactions conducted through Forge Securities LLC (Member
FINRA/SIPC) and Emerson Equity LLC (Member FINRA/SIPC and a broker dealer for
SharesPost Inc.) in 2011, Forge Markets LLC, as well as the placement of fund
interest in third party and affiliated Funds.

Forge makes no representation or warranty or guarantee as to the completeness,
accuracy, timeliness or suitability of any information contained within any
communication from Forge nor that it is free from error. Past performance is not
indicative of future results. Forge does not accept any liability (whether in
contract, tort or otherwise whatsoever and whether or not Forge has been
negligent) for any loss or damage (including, without limitation, loss of
profit), which may arise directly or indirectly from the use of or reliance on
such information. While the information provided has been obtained from sources
believed to be reliable, Forge does not attest to its accuracy or completeness.
Forge reserves the right to change any source without restriction or notice.

Forge is not responsible for any errors, omissions or representations on any of
its web pages or on any links to other web pages contained on such pages. The
site contains material submitted by third parties. These third parties are
solely responsible for ensuring that the materials submitted comply with all
legal requirements. Forge makes no warranty that the contents of the site are
free from infection by viruses or any other contaminating or destructive
properties and shall have no liability in respect thereof.

Forge offers standard forms of agreement that may be digitally signed by the
buyer and seller as part of the transaction process. Forms of agreement are made
available on an ‘as-is’ basis. Forge is not acting as legal counsel to any party
and use of any form of agreement, whether made available on the Forge
marketplace or otherwise, does not constitute the provision of legal advice by
Forge to any person. Users are solely responsible for their use of Forge forms
of agreement and should read these important disclaimers before initiating the
transaction process. Forge strongly recommends users consult their legal or
financial advisors prior to entering into any agreement.

Transactions initiated on Forge generally require the buyer and seller to enter
into additional agreements, including commission agreement with Forge Securities
LLC and an escrow agreement with a third-party provider for escrow of the
buyer’s funds and evidence of the seller’s ownership of securities. Most issuers
of securities require the buyer and seller to enter into a stock transfer
agreement with it before the issuer agrees to process a change in ownership of
its securities on its books and records. Contact a transaction specialist for
additional information.

Each buyer and seller in a Forge facilitated transaction is solely responsible
for making his, her or its own legal determination about the availability of an
exemption from applicable securities laws. Only accredited investors may
purchase securities on Forge.

Forge is not registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”), any state regulator or any other regulatory body.
Nothing contained on the SharesPost platform may be construed as investment
advice and use of the Forge marketplace constitutes explicit agreement that any
use of the Forge marketplace is qualified by your understanding and acceptance
of the foregoing disclaimer. Information about companies presented on Forge is
provided by third-party sources, including user submitted comments and
documents. Forge makes no effort to verify the accuracy of any information and
does not warrant the truthfulness or completeness of any company information
viewable on the site. Forge expresses no opinion as to the suitability of any
transaction for any person contemplating a Forge facilitated transaction. Any
person contemplating a Forge facilitated transaction should make his, her or its
own independent investigation of the suitability of any proposed transaction
based on the facts and circumstances of such person’s financial situation, and
Forge strongly recommends consultation with legal or financial advisors prior to
initiating a transaction on Forge. Forge neither holds nor gives any opinion
about the value of any company or that company’s securities.
