Entry Into the Merger Agreement with Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III
On December 13, 2022, Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (together with its successors, including after the Domestication (as defined below), “FWAC”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among FWAC, Queen Merger Corp. I, a Maryland corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FWAC (“Merger Sub”), and Mobile Infrastructure Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“MIC”). The transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers (defined below), will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by FWAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Unless expressly stated otherwise herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have such meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
The Merger
The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions: (i) FWAC will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Maryland and will domesticate by means of a corporate conversion (the “Domestication”) to a Maryland corporation (“Surviving Pubco”) in accordance with Title 3, Section 9 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended (the “MGCL”), and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (as revised), and, in connection with the Domestication, (A) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of FWAC (the “Class A Shares”) will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of Surviving Pubco (the “Surviving Pubco Shares”); and (B) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of FWAC will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one Surviving Pubco Share; and (ii) following the Domestication, (A) Merger Sub will merge with and into MIC in accordance with the MGCL (the “First Merger”), with MIC continuing as the surviving entity (the “First-Step Surviving Company”) and (B) immediately following the effectiveness of the First Merger, the First-Step Surviving Company will merge with and into Surviving Pubco in accordance with the MGCL (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Surviving Pubco continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second-Step Surviving Company”).
Consideration
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in consideration of the First Merger, at the First Effective Time (i) each issued and outstanding share of MIC’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“MIC Common Stock”) (excluding shares owned by any Mobile Company) will be converted into the right to receive such number of Surviving Pubco Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of MIC Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive the applicable MIC Preferred Stock Merger Consideration. In addition, at the First Effective Time, the First-Step Surviving Company will assume each MIC Common Stock Warrant and each such MIC Common Stock Warrant will become a warrant (a “Surviving Pubco Warrant”) to purchase that number of Surviving Pubco Shares equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of MIC Common Stock that would have been issuable upon the exercise of such MIC Common Stock Warrant and (b) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to the quotient determined by dividing the per share exercise price of such MIC Common Stock Warrant as of immediately prior to the Closing by the Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding share of MIC Common Stock that is held by any Mobile Company will be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor and no Mobile Company shall be entitled to any consideration by virtue of either Merger.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in consideration of the First Merger, at the First Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the First-Step Surviving Company.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in consideration of the Second Merger, at the Second Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the First-Step Surviving Company will be canceled and cease to exist without any consideration therefor by virtue of the Second Merger.

Representations and Warranties
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto with respect to the parties, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and their respective business operations and activities.

Termination
The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing, including, among others:

- 3 -

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements will also be provided in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, when available.
Any financial projections in this document are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond FWAC’s and MIC’s control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, FWAC and MIC believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this document should not be regarded as an indication that FWAC and MIC, or their representatives, considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.
This document is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in FWAC and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in FWAC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning FWAC and MIC, the proposed transaction, or other matters and attributable to FWAC and MIC or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.
