2015 THIRD QUARTER REPORT

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Operations and strategy

The Third Quarter Report was approved by the Board of Directors on November 9, 2015 and provides a general outline of the financial position and operating performance of SPACE2 S.p.A. (hereafter "Space2" or the "Company") for the period.

Space2 S.p.A. was incorporated on May 28, 2015 and is the second Italian registered Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) to be established as an SIV (Special Investment Company) in accordance with the Borsa Italiana regulation, whose shares were listed on the Professional Segment of the Investment Vehicles Market (M.I.V.) organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A..

Space2 listed on July 28, 2015, with trading from July 31 following the placement with qualified Italian investors and international institutional investors of 30 million ordinary shares at a set price of Euro 10 per share, for a total of Euro 300 million (the "Offer").

The ordinary shares placed are granted free market warrants in the ratio of 2 market warrants for every 4 ordinary shares subscribed. Against the subscription of 30 million ordinary shares, 15 million market warrants were therefore granted, of which 7.5 million issued contemporaneously with the ordinary shares, while 7.5 million will be issued and begin trading on completion of the "Significant Transaction" i.e. the acquisition of a company, entity, business or business unit (the "Target") by any means - including business combinations on the basis of contribution or merger, also combined with the subscription of equity investments.

In addition, Space Holding S.r.l., the sponsor company of Space2, subscribed 795,000 special shares, not to be listed, at a set price of Euro 10 per share for a total of Euro 7.95 million, increasing the total number of special shares to 800,000 (subsequent to the conversion into special shares of the 5,000 ordinary shares subscribed on incorporation), which are granted sponsor warrants in the ratio of 4 sponsor warrants for every 2 special shares, for a total of 1,600,000 sponsor warrants held by Space Holding S.r.l..

The capital raised by Space2 will be deployed within twenty four months from the initial trading of the ordinary shares on the M.I.V. for the completion of the Significant Transaction. Where this operation is not completed within the established duration of the company, it will be wound up and placed into liquidation. However, on conclusion of the Significant Transaction, the shares of the resultant company will be listed on the Stock Exchange. In accordance with the investment policy, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of June 17, 2015, the objective of Space2 is to identify a non-listed Target company with high growth potential, representative of Italian industrial excellence and interested in opening up its ownership to institutional investors through listing on a regulated market.

As described in greater detail in the Prospectus, the company has opened five escrow accounts with leading domestic banks, held by the escrow agent SPAFID S.p.A. and in which 98.5% of the total proceeds from the Offer have been deposited, comprising the "Restricted Amounts", available, on authorisation by the Shareholders' Meeting, essentially for the execution of the Significant Transaction or, where such is not completed within the established duration of the company, for the liquidation of shareholders.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The unrestricted sums are available to management to finance - in addition to the listing and operating expenses of the company (i.e. general and administrative expenses) - the pursuit of the company mission, such as research, selection and due diligence expenses for potential Targets and in execution of the Significant Transaction.

Operating performance since incorporation until September 30, 2015

Operational overview

The operations of Space2 in the period mainly focused on the development of the organisational structure and the listing of ordinary shares and market warrants on the Investment Vehicles Market (M.I.V.).

On listing, Space2 began the research and selection of Target companies according to the investment policy guidelines approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of June 17, 2015.

As a SPAC the company did not generate operating revenue in the period, reporting therefore an operating loss of Euro 342,735. The comprehensive net profit in the period of Euro 11,285 substantially relates to financing activities (deposit accounts and savings bonds).

The equity of the Company at September 30, 2015 was Euro 305,099,126. The Company's liquidity at September 30, 2015 was Euro 305,017,919.

As the Company was incorporated on May 28, 2015, no comparable income statement or balance sheet is available.

In addition, the equity was reduced by incorporation costs and Borsa Italiana listing service charges, recognised to a specific reserve for a negative Euro 2,912,159.

NOTES TO THE INCOME STATEMENT

8- Revenue

As a SPAC the company did not generate revenue in the period. The focus in the period was in fact mainly on the development of the organisational structure and the listing of ordinary shares and market warrants on the Investment Vehicles Market (M.I.V.) achieving such on July 28, 2015 and with initial trading on July 31, 2015, while also launching the research and selection of a potential operating company as per the investment policy based on the guidelines and general requirements adopted by the Shareholders' Meeting on June 17, 2015 for the identification of a Target.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

9- Consumable materials

The account concerns office use materials and amounted to Euro 300.

10- Personnel costs

At September 30, 2015 and throughout the period, the company did not have employees. The cost of Euro 9,216 entirely relates to INPS contributions borne by the Company relating to occasional outsourced consultancy for the listing process.

11- Other net operating costs

in Euro May 28, 2015 –
September 30, 2015
Consultancy expense from Space Holding Srl 172,391
Professional charges 26,445
Market warrant issue costs 22,500
Other costs 64,881
Board of Statutory Auditors 14,109
Audit 9,047
Administrative services 8,753
Independent directors 6,115
Trusteeship services 5,823
Financial communication 3,154
Total other net operating costs 333,219

Other operating costs principally include consultancy provided by Space Holding Srl, as per the prospectus and the contract of July 7, 2015.

"Other costs" mainly related to listing process consultancy.

"Professional charges" related to legal consultancy and notary services during the incorporation and listing phase.

"Market warrant issue costs" concerned the listing process.

"Administrative services" essentially concern accounting services.

12- Financial income

Financial income in the period totalled Euro 354,020.

in Euro May 28, 2015 –
September 30, 2015
Interest income from bank deposits 57,485
Financial income on savings bonds 296,534
Total financial income 354,020

This income relates to the fair value adjustment at September 30, 2015 of Savings Bonds (Euro 296,534), with the remainder concerning interest on escrow bank deposits. These amounts are calculated, according to the prudency principle, on the basis of the lowest rate applicable by the bank in the case of their advance release.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

13- Income taxes

At September 30, 2015, the Company did not record current taxes as the decreases in the assessable IRES, due to the capitalisation of the listing costs reserve, were greater than the operating profit.

Deferred tax assets were also not recognised, as plans were not yet available at that date which would indicate the presence of future assessable profits. These plans may only be drawn up on the execution of the Significant Transaction.

The Company will benefit from Tax Year 2016 of a tax benefit from the availability of a tax loss, due to the capitalisation described above, not fully offset and available as occurring in the first assessable tax period. The Company will in addition benefit from the surplus relating to the Economic growth assistance (ACE) deductible from future company income. With the entry into force of Legislative Decree No. 91/2014, companies whose shares have been listed on regulated markets since June 25, 2014 may benefit from a 40% increase of the "share capital increase change" compared to that reported on the closing of each preceding period.

14- Basic earnings per share

The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the result by the number of ordinary shares in circulation and amounts to Euro 0.001. The following table outlines the calculation of the basic earnings per share:

(in Euro) May 28 - September
30, 2015
Net profit 11,285
Number of ordinary shares at end of period 30,000,000
Basic earnings per share 0.001
Diluted earnings per share 0.001

At September 30, 2015, the diluted earnings per share, calculated considering - in addition to ordinary shares - also special shares and the market warrants, corresponds to the basic earnings per share; no significant anti-dilutive effects are therefore reported.
