In connection with the proposed business combination and related transactions (the “Proposed Transaction”), among Lilium GmbH (“Lilium” or the “Company”), Qell Acquisition Corp. (“Qell”), Queen Cayman Merger LCC, and Lilium B.V. (which will convert into Lilium N.V., a public company under Dutch law, before completion of the Proposed Transaction), the holding company that will acquire Lilium and Qell (“New Lilium”) (collectively referred to herein as the “Lilium Group”), New Lilium has filed a registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Registration Statement includes preliminary proxy materials that will be distributed to Qell’s shareholders in connection with its solicitation for voting proxies in respect of the proposed business combination and other matters described in the Registration Statement, as well as a prospectus relating to the offer of New Lilium’s securities to be issued in the Proposed Transaction. Investors, shareholders and other interested parties are advised to read the Registration Statement (and all amendments thereto) as well as other documents filed by New Lilium with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Transaction, because these documents will contain important information about the Lilium Group and the Proposed Transaction. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to Qell’s stockholders as of the record date established for voting on the proposed business combination. Interested parties will also be able to obtain copies of such documents, without charge, at the SEC's website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to Colleen Robar, Qell Acquisition Corp., 505 Montgomery Street, Suite 1100, San Francisco, CA 94111 or by telephone at +1 313-207-5960.

See "Note on Projections and Estimates" for a discussion of key assumptions used. This presentation contains descriptions of some of Lilium’s key business partnerships with whom Lilium has entered into feasibility studies, indications of interest, memorandums of understanding or other preliminary arrangements. These descriptions are based on the Lilium management team’s discussions and the latest available information and estimates as of the date of this presentation. In each case, these descriptions are subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements which have not been completed as of the date of this presentation and, as a result, the nature, scope and content of these key business partnerships remain subject to change.

Ducted Electric Vectored Thrust (DEVT) • Lower noise, lower vibration (smoother ride) • Safer (blade loss containment) • Larger aircraft with more payload • Scalable (higher revenue potential per jet) Lilium’s proprietary propulsion technology drives major advantages over open propeller eVTOL |
Ducted fans need >10X less propulsion area than open propellers for the same aircraft Ducted Fan (Lilium) Open propeller (Competitors) Same thrust >10X smaller footprint |
Future Proof: Designed to be scalable in same footprint Expected Entry Into Service Future Lilium 7-Seater Open propeller 5-Seater competitor 15m 1.5x larger1 3.75x larger1 Lilium 16-Seater Hypothetical Open propeller 16-Seater competitor Only scales with larger wingspan or higher noise |
Designed for highest safety standards 36 engines: safe landing even after multiple engine loss 72 battery modules shielded from cabin 3 dissimilar flight control computers – supplied by Honeywell − 1 x 10-9 failure probability, like Airbus A350 − Redundancy − No single point of failure − Dissimilar and redundant computers Crumple zones to protect passengers Ducts contain blade loss |
Lilium ~2X higher power consumption in hover than open propeller configuration Hover is only ~30 seconds, so energy use only ~5% more vs. open propeller per mission Lilium mission is regional transport – not to hover Power demand over typical flight profile |
Due to noise impact… “out of 40 helipads only 1 is active in San Francisco” Low noise allows regular landings near communities Lilium Jet ~60 dBA at 100m Open propeller eVTOL competitors ~60 dBA projected at 220m (vs. ~52 dBA of Lilium at 220 m) Helicopter ~60 dBA projected at 1km 60dBA is comparable to standing near a dishwasher Measured |

Note on projections and estimates Management’s projections and estimates in this presentation are based, among other things, on various assumptions made and expectations anticipated by Lilium’s management, including the following: − For L ilium’s Turnkey Enterprise solution (B2B) service, each contract will generate an upfront fee of approximately $4 million, followed by an annual service and maintenance fee of approximately $1 million per jet, which translates into an immediate payback period on the jet and a lifetime profit of approximately $5 million, assuming an average in-service life of 8 years. − For L ilium’s B2C networks, beginning in approximately 2026, one jet will cover approximately 1,500 miles per day, or approximately 20 to 25 flights, with an average of 4.5 out of 6 passenger seats filled, and an average price per passenger mile of approximately $2.25, generating approximately $15,000 of revenue per day, or approximately $5 million per year. − A dea dhead ratio of 5% (i.e., 5% of all flights will be empty) and 10% annual downtime per jet per year for maintenance and training. − That, b eginning in approximately 2026, one jet of the Lilium network is estimated to generate an annual contribution margin of approximately $1.25 million or approximately 25%, taking into account operating cost assumptions (such as pilots, landing fees, fees for air traffic control, maintenance and spare parts, battery replacements, energy costs, data cost, air tax, insurance, jet depreciation and customer acquisition costs). − Jet uni t manufacturing costs of approximately $2.5 million. − With r espect to costs, the projections provided by Lilium management assume that Lilium’s direct costs for service operations in 2026 will be allocated approximately as follows: − Infrastructure and ground operations: 25% − Maintenance and spare parts (Assumes battery replacement on average every four months): 20% − Pilot co sts (Assumes one jet requires 4.5 pilots per year): 20% − Jet depr eciation cost (8-year, straight line depreciation method): 10% − Direct ta x : 10% − Customer acquisition costs: 10% − Energy co sts: 5% The projections in this presentation are based on a number of additional assumptions and factors, including factors outside of the control of Lilium’s management, and there can be no assurance that such projections will be achieved or that actual results will not differ, including materially, from such projections.
