Western Acquisition Ventures ^{Priced, Nasdaq: WAVS}

We are a blank check company. We expect to favor potential target companies with certain industry and business characteristics. Key favorable industry characteristics we look for include, but are not limited to, compelling long-term growth prospects, strong secular tailwinds, and highly fragmented markets ripe for consolidation opportunities. We expect our target to possess certain business characteristics such as a leading market position, significant recurring revenue with a diversified customer base, opportunity for operational improvement, and a healthy margin profile with attractive free cash flow characteristics. As we consider specific sectors of focus, we will be guided by three key factors. First, our significant industry and operational expertise. Second, the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as an accelerant of business practices and industry changes. Finally, targeting merger candidates where conditions allow us to influence sufficiently the outcome to produce attractive economic rewards for our stockholders and stakeholders. Our target sectors may include, but are not limited to: infrastructure and environmental services; health, wellness and food sustainability; financial technology and financial services; enterprise software and SaaS; and leisure and hospitality.
