28 The risk factors below have been prepared solely for purposes of the proposed private placement (the “Private Placement”) of securities relating to Cartesian Growth Corporation III (“CGCIII”) in connection with the proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) between CGCIII and Factorial Inc, a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Factorial” or the “Company”) . All references to “the Company” refer to the business of the combined entity resulting from the Business Combination . The risks presented below represent only a portion of the general risks related to the business of the Company, the Private Placement and the Business Combination, and are not exhaustive . The risks described below are qualified in their entirety by disclosures contained in future documents filed or furnished by the Company, CGCIII, or their respective affiliates with the U . S . Securities and Exchange Commission, including any documents filed or furnished in connection with the Business Combination . Investing in the securities (the “Securities”) being offered in this Private Placement involves a high degree of risk . You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties and should carry out your own due diligence and consult with your own financial and legal advisors concerning the risks and suitability of an investment in the Private Placement, before making an investment decision . There are many risks that could affect the business and results of operations of the Company, many of which are beyond its control . If any of these risks or uncertainties occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition, and/or operating results could be materially and adversely harmed . Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or those currently viewed to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results . If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, the value of the Company’s Securities may decline, and any investor in the Private Placement may lose all or part of its investment : Risks Related to the Development and Commercialization of Our Batteries • The development of batteries is complex and the timing of development cannot be assured. Delays in the development of our ba tte ries could adversely affect our business and prospects. • We may be unable to adequately control the costs associated with our operations and the components necessary to develop and c omm ercialize our solid - state battery technology. • We may not be able to accurately estimate the future supply and demand for our batteries, which could result in a variety of ine fficiencies in our business and hinder our ability to generate revenue and profits. • Our expectations and targets regarding when we will achieve various technical, pre - production and production objectives depend i n large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by us. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, we may no t achieve these milestones when expected or at all. • If our existing customers with whom we have collaboration agreements do not make subsequent purchases from us, we will not re cei ve revenue from such customers, and our results of operations would be adversely impacted. • If we are unable to integrate our products into EVs manufactured by OEM customers on commercially reasonable terms or at all, ou r results of operations could be impaired. • Our future growth and success depend in part on our ability to grow our customer base and effectively sell to a wide variety of customers. Failure to grow our customer base would adversely affect our business and prospects. • We intend to manufacture batteries outside of the United States. If purchasers choose to avoid procuring batteries manufactur ed outside of the United States, our revenue could decline and our prospects may be adversely affected. • If the cost, performance characteristics or other specifications of the battery fall short of our targets or our customers’ r equ irements, our ability to market and sell our batteries could be harmed. • We may not be able to establish new, or maintain existing, supply relationships for necessary raw materials, components or eq uip ment or may be required to pay costs for raw materials, components or equipment that are more expensive than anticipated, whi ch could delay the introduction of our product and negatively impact our business and ability to generate revenue and profits. • Our ability to manufacture our batteries at scale depends on our ability to design, engineer, build, operate and staff our fa cil ities successfully or to obtain third party manufacturing capacity and expertise. We may need to sell our products at a loss be fore reaching economies of scale. • Any establishment of a volume manufacturing facility is subject to many risks, including, among others, risks relating to con str uction, permitting, delays, cost overruns, supply chain constraints, and operating in a new geographic area away from our hea dqu arters. • Our future growth and success may be heavily influenced by OEMs’ and end consumers' willingness to adopt EVs. • Our ability to successfully market our products will depend on the establishment of charging station networks meeting the nee ds of EVs incorporating our products. If any of the charging station networks are not compatible with such products and technolo gie s, our sales could be adversely affected. • If the EVs in which our batteries are installed do not meet certain motor vehicle standards, our business, results of operati ons and prospects could be adversely affected. • The EV battery market continues to evolve and is highly competitive, and certain other battery manufacturers have significant ly greater resources, experience and scale than we do and have technologies that may be superior to ours. As a result, we may n ot be able to produce our products at cost competitive prices. • Developments in alternative battery technology or other power and energy alternatives may adversely affect the demand for our ba ttery products. • We rely on, and will continue to rely on, complex equipment for our operations. This equipment, and manufacturing generally, cr eates a significant degree of risk and uncertainty in terms of operational performance and costs. • We have pursued and may continue to pursue development agreements and other strategic alliances, which could have an adverse imp act on our business if they are unsuccessful or entered into on terms that are disadvantageous to us. • Certain components of our batteries pose safety risks that may cause injury or death. We may be subject to financial and repu tat ional risks due to product recalls and product liability claims, and we could face substantial liabilities that exceed our re sou rces. • The unavailability, reduction, or elimination of government and economic incentives could have a material adverse effect on o ur business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. • Our operations expose us to litigation, environmental, and other legal and compliance risks. Compliance with laws and regulat ion s is expensive, and our failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in monetary damages and fines, adverse p ubl icity and a material adverse effect on our business. • We are subject to environmental and safety risks and requirements relating to environmental and safety regulations and enviro nme ntal remediation matters which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. • Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel as well as the abi lity to attract, train, and retain highly skilled employees and key personnel. Risks Related to Our Limited Operating History • We are an early - stage company with a history of financial losses and expect to incur significant expenses and continuing losses from operations . • Our business plan has yet to be tested, and we may not succeed in executing on our strategic plans, including commercialization . • We will need substantial additional capital in the future to fund our business and may be unable to meet our future capital requirements, impairing our financial position and results of operations . • Incorrect estimates or assumptions by management in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements could adversely impact our reported assets, liabilities, income, revenue, or expenses . • Our ability to utilize any net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards to offset taxable income are subject to complex limitations . • Our cash and money market funds could be adversely affected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash and money market funds fail . Risk Factors

 

 

29 Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property • We rely heavily on our intellectual property portfolio . If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our business and competitive position would be harmed . • Our patent applications may not result in issued patents or our patent rights may be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from interfering with our commercialization of our products . • We may need to defend ourselves against intellectual property infringement claims, which may be time - consuming and could cause us to incur substantial costs or limit our ability to use certain technology . • We may obtain licenses on technology that has not been commercialized or has been commercialized only to a limited extent, and the success of our business may be adversely affected if such technology does not perform as expected . • We may face risks relating to protecting our intellectual property in various countries resulting from our international business operations . Other General Risks Related to Factorial • Governmental trade controls, including export and import controls, sanctions, customs requirements and related regimes, could subject us to liability or loss of contracting privileges, limit our ability to transfer technology or compete in certain markets and affect our ability to hire qualified personnel . • Changes in U . S . and foreign government policy, including the imposition of or increases in tariffs and changes to existing trade agreements, could have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects . • We are subject to U . S . and foreign anti - corruption, anti - bribery, anti - money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws and regulations . We can face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations, which can harm our business . • Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us from all business risks . • From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations . • We believe that our technology enables a variety of business models, including but not limited to sole manufacturing, joint ventures, and licensing, each of which may involve certain risks and tradeoffs . • Changes in U . S . and foreign tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations . • We are exposed to risks related to the use of artificial intelligence by us, our suppliers, partners and competitors . • Evolving scrutiny and changing expectations from global regulators and our stakeholders regarding our environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices and value proposition could adversely affect our business, brand and reputation . • We may be negatively impacted by epidemics, pandemics, and other outbreaks . • Our facilities or operations could be damaged or adversely affected by natural disasters and other catastrophic events outside of our control . • Any economic, financial or banking crisis, or perceived threat of such a crisis, including a significant decrease in consumer confidence, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations . • Inflation and increased interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations . • Our ability to manage our business is highly dependent on IT systems and our website, systems, and data may be subject to intentional or inadvertent disruption, security incidents, or alleged violations of laws, regulations, or other obligations relating to data handling could adversely impact our reputation and future sales . Risks Related to the Business Combination • The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and, if such conditions are not satisfied or waived, any definitive agreement with respect to the Business Combination may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination may not be completed . • Our management has limited experience in operating a public company . • We will incur significant expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations . • We will be required to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting . • We will be controlled or substantially influenced by Factorial’s founders, whose interests may conflict with other stockholders . • The existence of a family relationship between our founders may result in conflicts of interest in connection with decisions to be made by our Board or management . • Subsequent to consummation of the Business Combination, we may be required to subsequently take write - downs or write - offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the price of our common stock . • The ability of CGCIII’s shareholders to exercise redemption rights prior to the consummation of the Business Combination may prevent us from achieving an optimal capital structure . • CGCIII and Factorial will incur substantial transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination . • The Sponsor and other insiders of CGCIII or Factorial may elect to purchase CGCIII public shares, which may reduce the public float of such shares . • We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to “emerging growth companies” or “smaller reporting companies,” this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies . • The price of our shares of common stock and warrants may be volatile . • CCGIII’s outstanding warrants will become exercisable for shares of common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders . • If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our securities adversely, the price and trading volume of our securities could decline . • There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq . • Anti - takeover provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult, limit attempts by stockholders to replace or remove our management and limit the market price of our common stock . • Our Bylaws will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a chosen judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders .
