is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in MLAC II’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify
and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained
in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put
undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and MLAC II and Terra Quantum assume no obligation and, except as required by law, do not
intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Neither
MLAC II nor Terra Quantum gives any assurance that either MLAC II or Terra Quantum will achieve its expectations. No Offer or Solicitation This press release is not a proxy statement
or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall
not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of Terra Quantum, MLAC II or the combined company,
