February 25, 2021

In anticipation of the closing of the business combination, Butterfly and Longview have also nominated Directors for election to the Board of Directors of the combined company. Joining Dr. Rothberg (Chair), Dr. Fruchterman (President and CEO) and Mr. Robbins are Dawn Carfora, Vice President, Business Planning and Operations, Global Business Group at Facebook; John Hammergren, former Chairman and CEO of McKesson Corporation; Gianluca Pettiti, Senior Vice President and President of Specialty Diagnostics at Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. and S. Louise Phanstiel, Chair of the Board of Directors at Myriad Genetics.

"I am grateful to these independent directors for supporting our movement to use Ultrasound-on-Chip™ technology to make safe diagnostic imaging more accessible, more affordable and more effective," said Dr. Rothberg. "We expect that their deep skills and directly relevant experiences will bring to the company wisdom and insight across operational, strategic, cultural and fiduciary spheres."

"As we strive to build a world-class global organization, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to access the perspectives and guidance of four highly accomplished executives whose current or prior employers – Anthem (Wellpoint), Facebook, McKesson, and Thermo Fisher Scientific – are all significant and admired growth companies," said Mr. Robbins. "We welcome them each as new Board members of the combined company and new investors in Butterfly."

Longview has scheduled its Special Meeting of Stockholders for 8:00 a.m., New York Time, on Friday, February 12, 2021, for Longview's stockholders to approve the business combination and the election of the 7 nominated Directors to the Board of Directors of the combined company. Subject to stockholder approval and satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions to the business combination, the business combination is expected to close on the same day. Trading in the combined company's Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is expected to begin on Tuesday, February 16th, under the ticker "BFLY".

Butterfly and Longview express their appreciation and best wishes to Laurent Faracci, Butterfly's former CEO who stepped down over the weekend. "Laurent recognized the value of this transformative combination and was critical in moving the company toward this goal and providing a seamless transition for the next phases of growth," said Dr. Rothberg. "We wish him well in his future endeavors."
