Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the Business Combination not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of EGA’s securities, (ii) the risk that the Business Combination not be completed by EGA’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by EGA, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the approval by the stockholders of EGA and the receipt of any required governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination, (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Equity Purchase Agreement, (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Business Combination on LGM’s business relationships, operating results and business generally, (vii) risks that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of LGM and potential difficulties in LGM employee retention as a result of the Business Combination, (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against LGM or against EGA related to the Equity Purchase Agreement or the Business Combination, (ix) the ability to maintain the listing of the EGA’s securities on a national securities exchange, (x) that the price of EGA’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which EGA plans to operate or LGM operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting EGA’s or LGM’s business and changes in the combined capital structure of the two companies after the Business Combination, (xi) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed Business Combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities, (xii) the risk of downturns in the aviation industry, including due to increases in fuel costs including in light of the war in Ukraine and other global political and economic issues, (xiii) a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive aviation industry, and (xiv) risks associated with the overall economy, including recent and expected future increases in interest rates and the potential for recession. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of EGA’s registration statement on Form S-1, the Proxy Statement, and other documents filed by EGA 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 LGM and EGA assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. LGM nor EGA gives any assurance that either LGM or EGA or the combined company will achieve its expectations.
EGA cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. EGA cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT
The purpose of this Supplement is to supplement the disclosure in the Proxy Statement by adding a new risk factor discussing uncertainty under the Investment Company Act.
The following risk factor is hereby added on p. 87 under “Risks Related to EGA”.
There is significant uncertainty under the Investment Company Act whether certain special purpose acquisition companies with trust account assets held in securities would fall under the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act. If we do not complete the Business Combination promptly following the Special Meeting and thereafter continue our operations as a special purpose acquisition company and are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company.
There is significant uncertainty under the Investment Company Act whether certain special purpose acquisition companies with trust account assets held in securities would fall under the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act The risk of being considered an unregistered investment company increases as the period of time during which the funds held in the Trust Account are invested in securities becomes longer. To date, the Company’s decision to invest such funds in money market funds rather than in cash has created a greater risk that the Company will be deemed an “investment company” than if the Company reinvested such funds in cash.
If we do not complete the Business Combination promptly following the Special Meeting and thereafter continue our operations as a special purpose acquisition company and are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our stockholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.
Further, even if we do complete the Business Combination promptly following the Special Meeting, there remains the risk that one or more claims could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and we could incur significant fines, penalties, loss to reputation and other material adverse effects on us.
