The problem: Increased curbside congestion due to e-commerce rise Online commerce isn t slowing down. The pandemic reset consumer habits for people to order food and supplies Many different parties compete to use limited curbside space EV chargers Bike-share docking stations Delivery vans Pedestrians Private parking Online retailing grew 44% in 2020, the largest one- year increase in market share in history. How to get the goods to consumers? Delivery vans Cities are collapsing. Home delivery is turning public streets into pop-up parking lots which contributes to air pollution, reduces safety and increases congestion. | 3
The solution: FlyDrop Last-mile delivery using drones Benefits for retailers: lower delivery costs due to no driver, no truck, and fewer missed deliveries. Greener delivery Delivery vans deliver parcels to local hub, from there they are delivered to the door of receiver by drones More satisfied customers: live traceability and scheduling, flexible delivery times. No-contact delivery for hygiene. Customers receive delivery notifications in their phone and get their parcel at their door within 30 mins Greener cities: less congestion, energy savings, curb-side space free for pedestrians. Vans are only used for hub-to-hub transportation, where parking spots can be arranged accordingly | 4
A competitive and innovative delivery solution FlyDrop is able to deliver packages of up to 2kg within a range of 20 km, it achieves vertical landing for easier package drop-off. The drone delivers retail goods (not medicines or food) which are usually packaged in boxes, suitable for drop off from distance. Deliveries are made from a partner micro-hub (e.g., DHL Paketshop or the local delivery service) and customers are able to select a time window of 30 mins for next-day deliveries. This makes our footprint lower than that of traditional next-day deliveries using vans, as drones consume significantly less energy and take less (no) space. Additionally, the deliveries are unattended, meaning there s no need for a delivery person to do the handover resulting in lower delivery costs. Flydrop s software platform for operating the network receives customer requests, generates routes, monitors, commands and controls all operating drones. With an easy-to- use interface it allows for a seamless experience in the delivery service.

Easy roll-out in urban settings with an established delivery partner Resources Risks Multi-rotor drone (DJI Phantom 3) 2.000,00 Local regulations: Rules for UAV are very restrictive in residential areas. A special permission is needed to fly in certain areas. Drone operator 1.000,00 FlyDrop cloud development Partnership with local hub 3.000,00 N/A Consumer acceptance: New technologies can be difficult to adopt. However we see that recreational drones are becoming mainstream, thus making the drone-human interaction more natural Customer interface development 1.000,00 Marketing 2.000,00 To set-up the business there are no high upfront costs due to the large availability of delivery drones in the market. The software platform for operating the network will be developed in- house. Finding the right local partner: FlyDrop will only handle the last-mile deliveries (local micro-hub to customer) and needs an established partner to fulfil deliveries | 6
