Forge Global Continues Strong Business Momentum in Q3

Company completes integration of Markets platform, launches first data product

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Dec. 8, 2021 — Forge Global, Inc. (“Forge Global” or “Forge”), a leading global private securities marketplace, today announced financial and operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Forge Global’s total revenue minus transaction-based expenses grew to approximately $95M for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 229% year-over-year compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Placement fee revenues less transaction-based expenses for Forge business units including Markets, Company Solutions and Data grew 147% to more than $80 million, up from $32.4 million in the same period, while volume increased 106% in the period to $2.45 billion. Placement fee revenues, less transaction-based expenses are pro-forma and Non-GAAP and include the effect of the acquisition of SharesPost, which Forge acquired in November 2020, for the period in which it was a standalone entity.

“Our res ults for the first nine months of the year are indicative of the increasing interest and engagement in the private markets, as well as new ways for more participants to engage,” said Kelly Rodriques, Chief Executive of Forge Global. “From the launch of our first data product, Forge Intelligence, to the continued momentum of our Company Solutions, we’re increasing access to the private market for more participants as we continue to execute on our vision of creating a private market that is as accessible, transparent and liquid.

The Forge platform unlocks access to the private market for companies, employees, and accredited and institutional investors. Recent highlights include an enhanced private share trading experience with Forge Markets, an integrated platform that combines the best of both the Forge and SharesPost brands. The company also launched Forge Intelligence, a first of its kind web-based data product, designed to better inform investment and trading decisions on private companies traded in secondary markets.

Forge Global unveiled its intent to go public in September 2021, via a proposed merger with Motive Capital Corp (NYSE: MOTV.U), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by affiliates of Motive Partners, a financial technology specialized private equity firm. The proposed transaction values Forge Global at around $2 billion, assuming no redemptions by Motive Capital Corp shareholders.

| 3 Disclaimer Financial Data and Use of Projections and Illustrative Presentations The financial information and operating metrics contained in this presentation are unaudited and do not conform to Regulation S-X. Such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in the registration statement filed by Motive relating to the business combination and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein, and remains subject to amendment and change. You should read carefully and rely only on the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Motive related to the business combination and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein, including any amendments and supplements thereto, as well as all other information filed or furnished by Motive with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial projections, estimates, targets and illustrative presentations in this presentation are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Motive’s and Forge’s control. While all financial projections, estimates, targets and illustrative presentations are necessarily speculative, Motive and Forge believe that the preparation of prospective or illustrative financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate, target or illustrative presentation extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the financial projections, estimates and targets. The inclusion of financial projections, estimates, targets and illustrative presentations in this presentation should not be regarded as an indication that Motive and Forge, or their representatives, considered or consider the financial projections, estimates, targets and illustrative presentation to be a reliable predictions of future events. Further, illustrative presentations are not necessarily based on management projections, estimates, expectations or targets but are presented for illustrative purposes only. The projections were prepared in good faith by Forge’s management in July 2021 connection with Motive's evaluation of the potential business combination with Forge and based on their reasonable best estimates and assumptions with respect to the expected future financial performance of Forge at the time such projections were prepared and speak only as of that time. Neither Motive, Forge nor any of their respective affiliates intends to, and, except to the extent required by applicable law, each of them expressly disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or correct the projections to reflect circumstances existing or arising after the date such projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error or any of the projections otherwise would not be realized. The financial projections, estimates, targets and illustrative presentations contained herein were based on numerous variables and assumptions made by Forge management at the time prepared with respect to matters specific to Forge, and are subject to change. The Forge management team considered the following material estimates and hypothetical assumptions with respect to the development of the projected financial information contained herein: projected 20-26% growth of revenue less transaction-based expenses through 2023; and assumed capitalization of internally developed software starting in 2022. In developing the projections and the material estimates and hypothetical assumptions with respect to revenue less transaction-based expenses growth rates, Forge management considered, among other things, the following assumptions: continued expansion in the number of private companies traded on Forge's platform, along with additional employee interest in liquidity options for existing customers; corresponding growth in opportunities for Forge Company Services to assist these growing private companies with liquidity programs for employees and investors; increased customer base through expanded marketing programs and increased brand awareness of Forge's product offerings; expanded geographic opportunities arising out of the growth in private company unicorns globally in primary overseas markets in Asia and Europe; continued improvement in technology, increasing efficiency and productivity; growth in Forge Trust accounts, driving increase in custodial revenue opportunities; and growth in revenue from Forge's recently launched Forge Data product offering.

| 4 Disclaimer Financial Data and Use of Projections and Illustrative Presentations (cont.) These assumptions and estimates are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those identified herein and in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere and in other information filed or furnished from time to time by Motive with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Motive and Forge undertake no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, publicly release any updates or any changes in their expectations, or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which the projections, estimates, targets and illustrative presentations or any other forward-looking statement contained herein is based. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures (including on a forward-looking basis) such as Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are an addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP counterparts are included in the Appendix to this presentation. Forge believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Forge. Forge’s management uses forward-looking non-GAAP measures to evaluate Forge’s projected financials and operating performance. In addition, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, Forge’s non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Use of Other Data The data contained herein is derived from various internal and external sources. All of the market data in the presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy or reliability of such assumptions. Further, no representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any projections or modeling or any other information contained herein. Any data on past performance or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance. Motive and Forge assume no obligation to update the information in this presentation.
