Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed Business Combination, Falcon’s
Beyond Global, Inc. (“Pubco”) has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration
statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”), which includes a document that serves as a joint prospectus of Pubco
and proxy statement of FAST II, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus. A proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all FAST II
shareholders after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. No offering of securities shall be made except by means
of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom. FAST II and
Pubco will also file other documents regarding the proposed Business Combination with the SEC. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, INVESTORS
AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF FAST II ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS
FILED OR THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL
CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION.
FAST II has filed with the SEC a definitive proxy statement (the “Extension
Proxy Statement”) in connection with the special meeting of its stockholders (the “Meeting”) to consider and vote upon
certain amendments to FAST II’s charter, including an amendment to extend the date by which it must consummate its initial business
combination (the “Extension”) and, beginning on February 13, 2023, mailed the Extension Proxy Statement and other relevant
documents to its stockholders as of the February 7, 2023 record date for the Meeting. FAST II’s stockholders and other interested
persons are advised to read the Extension Proxy Statement and any other relevant documents that have been or will be filed with the SEC
in connection with FAST II’s solicitation of proxies for the Meeting because these documents will contain important information
about FAST II, the Extension and related matters.
Investors and security holders can obtain free copies of the Extension
Proxy Statement and Registration Statement, and will be able to obtain free copies of amendments to the registration statement, the proxy
statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by FAST II or Pubco through the website

request to 6996 Piazza Grande Avenue, Suite 301, Orlando, FL 32835.

A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in FAST II is contained in FAST II’s
final prospectus related to its initial public offering dated March 15, 2021, the Extension Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement,

No Offer or Solicitation
This press release is for informational purposes only and shall not
constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed business combination
and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities
in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under
the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the
requirements of Section 10 the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.
Caution About Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes certain statements that are not historical
facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,”
“estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,”
“would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,”
“outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical
matters.
These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the
expectation that the proposed transaction will occur; the benefits associated with the amended transaction terms; the ability of FAST
II to extend the deadline by which it must consummate its initial business combination; Falcon’s Beyond’s future performance,
including expansion of its hotel and theme park footprints, projected opening times of its Punta Cana assets, and expectations that it
will monetize its brand IP; and interest rates that will be achieved on Trust Account deposits. These statements are based on various
assumptions and on the current expectations of the Company, Pubco and FAST II and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking
statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and should not be relied on by an investor or
others as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances
are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of
Falcon’s Beyond and FAST II. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but
not limited to, the likelihood of which could be adversely affected by (1) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial,
political, and legal conditions in general and in the entertainment industry in particular; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that
may be instituted against FAST II, Falcon’s Beyond or Pubco following the announcement of the proposed business combination, (3)
the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any regulatory
approvals or the SEC’s declaration of the effectiveness of our prospectus/proxy statement are not obtained, are delayed or are subject
to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect Falcon’s Beyond or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction or
that the approval of the requisite equity holders of FAST II is not obtained; (4) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance
that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, (5) volatility in the price of FAST II’s or Falcon’s Beyond’s
securities, (6) the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement
and consummation of the business combination, (7) the enforceability of Falcon’s Beyond’s intellectual property, including
its patents, and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others, cyber security risks or potential breaches
of data security, (8) any failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; (9) risks relating to the uncertainty
of the projected financial information with respect to Falcon’s Beyond; (10) risks related to the rollout of Falcon’s Beyond's
business and the timing of expected business milestones; (11) the effects of competition on Falcon’s Beyond's business; (12) the
risk that the proposed business combination may not be completed by FAST II’s business combination deadline and the potential failure
to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by FAST II, (13) the amount of redemption requests made by FAST
II's stockholders; (14) the ability of FAST II or Falcon’s Beyond to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing
in connection with the proposed transaction or in the future; (15) and those factors discussed in the Registration Statements and FAST
II's final prospectus dated March 15, 2021 under the heading "Risk Factors," and other documents FAST II or Pubco has filed,
or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially
from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither FAST II nor Falcon’s Beyond
presently know, or that FAST II or Falcon’s Beyond currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ
from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, the forward-looking statements reflect FAST II's and Falcon’s
Beyond's expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. FAST II and Falcon’s
Beyond anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause FAST II's and Falcon’s Beyond's assessments to change. However,
while FAST II and Falcon’s Beyond may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, FAST II and
Falcon’s Beyond specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a representation
of FAST II's and Falcon’s Beyond's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance
should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
