Northern Star Investment II ^{Priced, NYSE: NSTB}

We are a newly organized Delaware blank check company. While we may pursue an acquisition in any business industry or sector, we intend to focus our efforts identifying businesses primarily in the beauty, wellness, self-care, fashion, e-commerce, subscription and digital-media space. We intend to concentrate on companies founded with vision and run by smart, diverse teams who value diversity across the company in all aspects of decision-making. We intend to focus on companies which have powerful relationships with their customers, which understand how their consumer live and what they need, and how to communicate with them effectively. We also intend to look for businesses which create, produce, own, distribute and/or market content, products and services or facilitate the sharing economy. We are led by Joanna Coles, the Chairperson of our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer, and Jonathan J. Ledecky, our President and Chief Operating Officer. Each of Ms. Coles and Mr. Ledecky is an executive officer and director of Northern Star Acquisition Corp., a blank check company like ours that raised approximately $255,000,000 in its initial public offering in November 2020. In December 2020, Northern Star I entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination with Barkbox, Inc.
