Additional Information

In connection with the Proposed Transaction (as defined below), Caravel filed with the SEC on February 12, 2021 and amended on March 29, 2021 a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes a proxy statement for the stockholders of Caravel that also constitutes a prospectus with respect to the shares of Caravel Common Stock to be offered and sold to the stockholders of Rover. Caravel urges investors, stockholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus as well as other documents filed with the SEC because these documents will contain important information about Caravel, Rover and the Proposed Transactions. After the registration statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement will be mailed to stockholders of Caravel as of a record date to be established for voting on the Proposed Transactions. Stockholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge by directing a request to: Nebula Caravel Acquisition Corporation, Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 2100, San Francisco, CA 94111. The preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

Participants in the Solicitation

Caravel, Rover and their respective directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Proposed Transactions under the rules of the SEC. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants in the solicitation of the stockholders in connection with the potential transaction will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus when it is filed with the SEC. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

Non-Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of Caravel or Rover, nor shall there be any sale of any such 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 offer of securities shall be made except by means of a definitive prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “continue”, “expect”, “estimate”, “may”, “plan”, “outlook”, “future” and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to Caravel’s and Rover’s future prospects, developments and business strategies. In particular, such forward-looking statements include statements concerning the timing of the Merger, the business plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of Caravel once the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Proposed Transactions”) and change of name are complete (“New Rover”), and Rover’s estimated and future results of operations, business strategies, competitive position, industry environment and potential growth opportunities. These statements are based on Caravel’s or Rover’s management’s current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Caravel’s or Rover’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the ability of Caravel and Rover to complete the Business Combination; (2) New Rover’s financial and business performance following the Business Combination, including financial projections and business metrics; (3) the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; (4) the anticipated costs associated with the Business Combination; (5) the impact of COVID-19 on Rover’s and New Rover’s business; (6) the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Proposed Transactions.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can be found in Caravel’s current reports on Form 8-K, which are available, free of charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov), and will also be provided in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and Caravel’s proxy statement/prospectus when available. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and Caravel and Rover undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changes in expectations, future events or otherwise.

This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in Caravel and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in Caravel. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Caravel and Rover, the Proposed Transactions or other matters and attributable to Caravel and Rover or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Related Information

Certain of the exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K references EBITDA and EBITDA margin, which are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning, and the definition of EBITDA used by Rover may be different from other, similarly named non-GAAP measures used by others. In addition, such financial information is unaudited and does not conform to SEC Regulation S-X and as a result such information may be presented differently in future filings by Rover with the SEC.
