−Removed: One way will be to operate in a fundamentally different manner and structure than traditional marine manufacturers
−Removed: and boat dealers by adopting a direct-to-consumer sales and delivery model.
−Removed: Forza is building a dedicated web and app-based platform for
−Removed: sales, deliveries, and service operations to change the traditional boat buying and marine service experience through technological innovation,
−Removed: ease of use, and flexibility.
−Removed: Forza intends to employ an integrated, digital-first strategy that is convenient and transparent for our
−Removed: customers and efficient and scalable to support its growth.
−Removed: Additionally, to support those looking for a more traditional way of purchasing
−Removed: a boat, or to accompany trade-ins, financing needs, and training or in states where there are limitations on direct sales, Forza will
−Removed: also market its boats through a partnership with One Water Marine, Inc.
−Removed: (“One Water”), one of the largest dealership networks
−Removed: in the United States.
−Removed: Forza believes its approach will enable us to provide the best of both worlds to prospective customers and support
−Removed: its mission to electrify recreational boating for mass production.
−Removed: Currently, Forza’s web and app-based platform
−Removed: is expected to include the following:
−Removed: Build and Price Boats .
−Removed: The web and app platform will offer prospective buyers a place to examine photos and videos of our boats, which will all have a single price based on the model type and a few available options.
−Removed: For example, the consumer would have four gel coat exterior choices, three interior upholstery choices, and an option to increase the battery pack capacity for extended run times.
−Removed: Other options would include charging cords and plugs, boating items such as bumpers, covers, and fun add-ons like clothing, allowing consumers to “personalize” their Forza X1 purchase.
−Removed: Prospective customers will be able to apply for third-party consumer financing to complete or supplement their purchase through our web and app platform.
−Removed: Once manufactured, the boat will be delivered directly to a customer’s home, marina, or wherever they choose.
−Removed: The scheduling, communication, and support necessary for coordinating touchless delivery of our Forza boats would all be accomplished over the website or app.
−Removed: Forza intends to offer highly tailored and differentiated services that enable intuitive experiences throughout the entire customer lifecycle, such as warranty, repair, or other service assistance for their boats.
−Removed: Forza expects this all-inclusive approach will provide higher customer satisfaction, create strong brand loyalty, and increase operational efficiency while simultaneously allowing us to capture a more significant share of the entire lifecycle value of every Forza X1 boat produced.
−Removed: Forza anticipates having internal staff with the capability to provide an OTA (over the airwaves) update to resolve the issue remotely without the boat ever leaving the customer’s sight.
−Removed: As part of its customer satisfaction drive, Forza plans for its staff to make mobile service calls to the boat docks.
−Removed: It also intends to enter into partnering arrangements with third parties to address service needs that require more than a mobile service visit and plans to arrange for the boat to be picked up and brought to one of our partnered service centers.
−Removed: If a service center is not available in a customer’s area, for approved warranty repairs we will permit the owners to take their boat to their local service center who will then invoice us.
−Removed: Customer Service and Feedback .
−Removed: Forza will utilize customer insights and feedback submitted via its web and app-based platform to improve its offerings by adding new capabilities and functionality.
−Removed: Expanded offerings based on consumer-driven feedback and data is expected to attract more customers, deepen existing customer relationships, and allow Forza to innovate more quickly.
−Removed: Forza intends to provide a series of videos that demonstrate our boats’ safe operation and upkeep.
−Removed: These videos would be accessible on Forza’s web and app platform and the boat’s onboard computer for quick access.
−Removed: With respect to the foregoing, Forza has not yet:
−Removed: (i) entered into any arrangements with third parties to provide financing services through its web and app platform, or (ii) hired staff
−Removed: for our intended support and service department.
−Removed: Forza is still in the initial stages of establishing its distribution and service plans.
−Removed: Forza is uncertain as to when they will commence selling to end-user customers.
−Removed: Forza is currently in the process of identifying the states

−Removed: For states that have do not allow such an arrangement, Forza intends to make sales through
−Removed: One Water’s locations.
−Removed: One Water will be able to forecast how many fully electric boats they initially require, and after production,
−Removed: we will have the boats transported to the dealerships.
−Removed: Similarly, Forza is in the process of identifying
−Removed: potential marine service centers and technicians it would like to form strategic relationships with to ensure that it has a comprehensive
−Removed: service support system in place when its fully electric boats are sold, it will utilize One Water dealerships and service centers where
−Removed: they are available.
−Removed: Forza will also work to establish its 500-mile radius mobile service vans and trucks before selling the first Forza
−Removed: X1 product so that local customers will have that option.
−Removed: The One Water Agreement
−Removed: Additionally, to support
−Removed: those looking for a more traditional way of purchasing a boat, or to accompany trade-ins, financing needs, and training, we will also
−Removed: market our boats through a partnership with One Water, one of the largest dealership networks in the United States.
−Removed: We believe our approach
−Removed: will enable us to provide the best of both worlds to prospective customers and support our mission to electrify recreational boating.
−Removed: On August 17, 2022, we entered into a five-year agreement with One Water to establish our customer experience and service centers in One
−Removed: Water’s current and future locations and other strategic locations across the United States pursuant to which One Water will be

−Removed: to pick up our products.
−Removed: We retained the right to sell our products directly to customers.
−Removed: agreement may be terminated by either party for breach upon thirty days’ notice and without cause upon three months’ notice.
−Removed: Forza’s Future Service Network
−Removed: Forza intends to develop a support and service department
−Removed: that will include technicians, service representatives, quality control specialists and customer satisfaction agents.
−Removed: Moreover, it aims
−Removed: to provide convenient and comprehensive service coverage in all markets where its boats are sold, which customers may access through a
−Removed: comprehensive service and support website and app.
−Removed: The website and app platform will be the cornerstone
−Removed: of Forza’s services and repair program.
−Removed: Forza has selected a web design firm for the development of its website and app.
−Removed: customers would be able to report through its app or interact directly with its service support team to schedule an appointment with a
−Removed: Forza X1 mobile service van, perform remote diagnostics or help arrange appointments with partnered boat repair technicians, marinas,
−Removed: and service centers with whom Forza has strategic relationships, arrange for service or repair work, or even schedule the boat’s
−Removed: transportation back to the Forza X1 factory if needed.
−Removed: Forza believes that Forza X1 mobile service vans and
−Removed: trucks will be able to perform a majority of physical service calls at a customer’s home, marina, dock, or wherever our boats might
−Removed: be located, offering a level of convenience at lower cost than traditional dealer-owned service centers.
−Removed: These mobile service vans and
−Removed: trucks will travel to the location of the electric boats for repair, or if the boat cannot be repaired at such location, then the Forza
−Removed: technician will have a vehicle capable of towing the boat back to the Forza factory, where the boat will have access to a more significant
−Removed: amount of repair and support staff.
−Removed: Forza believes that its electric vehicles will require
−Removed: less service than gas vehicles because electric vehicles are simpler to maintain than internal combustion vehicles.
−Removed: The outboard motor
−Removed: system is expected to be less susceptible to wear and tear by exchanging hundreds of moving parts for only a few.
−Removed: There are no spark plugs
−Removed: or engine motor oil to change or worry about.
−Removed: Additionally, remote diagnostics will allow Forza
−Removed: to find issues with customer boats remotely, in real time.
−Removed: In many cases, Forza’s service team will be able to provide an OTA update
−Removed: to resolve the issue without the customer’s boat ever leaving the customer’s sight.
−Removed: Forza’s mission will be to make
−Removed: the servicing of our products as simple as possible by connecting to and utilizing diagnostics technology in every Forza boat.
−Removed: a customer needs maintenance or needs repairs, we intend to provide convenient and comprehensive service and warranty coverage for its
−Removed: customers throughout the country.
−Removed: Customers who lack Forza service access through its
−Removed: network of mobile services vans and trucks will be able to utilize the traditional warranty claim process, which is standard throughout
−Removed: the recreational boat industry.
−Removed: In Forza’s case, a customer will contact Forza through its website or app and speak with its support
−Removed: and service department and provide them with details about the issues they are experiencing with their boat.
−Removed: If over-the-air updates to
−Removed: software or hardware are insufficient to solve the problems and customer experience and service center or mobile service van are not within
−Removed: range of the customer, its support and service department will provide assistance.
−Removed: In the case of a covered warrantable issue, Forza’s
−Removed: support and service department will put them in contact with a local partnered boat repair service technicians or arrange transportation
−Removed: of the boat to one of our partnered marinas and service centers.
−Removed: If none are available in a customer’s area, our support and service
−Removed: department would instruct the customer to obtain a quote for the covered warranty repair work and labor at a marine service center of
−Removed: their choosing.
−Removed: They would transmit the quote for the necessary repair work to Forza’s support and service department for approval.
−Removed: Once approved, the work is completed on the covered warrantable repairs, and Forza will pay the marine service center directly.
−Removed: There may be instances where the customer’s
−Removed: issue is too technical for a traditional marine service center (e.g., issues related to the EV components of the boat).
−Removed: In such cases,
−Removed: Forza’s support and service department would coordinate with the customer to have the boat picked up on a trailer and towed to our
−Removed: manufacturing facility in Fort Pierce, Florida, for service.
−Removed: If a customer contacts Forza’s support and service
−Removed: department for maintenance or an issue not covered under warranty, then its support and service department would be able to coordinate
−Removed: with them to arrange service with a mobile service van, partnered boat repair technician, or partnered marina or service center and the
−Removed: customer will be responsible for paying them directly.
−Removed: Forza is still in the initial stages of establishing
−Removed: our service plans.
−Removed: Forza is in the process of identifying potential marinas, service centers, and technicians we would like to form strategic
−Removed: relationships with to ensure that it has a comprehensive service support system in place when our fully electric boats are sold.
−Removed: Forza is planning to eventually internalize most aspects of boat warranty and service through our mobile service vans and trucks over
−Removed: time, initially, Forza plans to operate them within 500 miles of the Forza factory and partner with third parties elsewhere to enable
