In connection with the contemplated business combination between Tuatara Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Island exempted company (“TCAC”) and SpringBig, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SpringBig”), as disclosed in the Registration
Statement on Form S-4, filed on February 10, 2022, as amended, TCAC and SpringBig have prepared a revised investor presentation. The investor presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.
The foregoing (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and will not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the
liabilities of that section, nor will it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
TCAC has filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 containing a proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination, which will be mailed to its shareholders once definitive. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not
contain all the information that should be considered concerning the Business Combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Business Combination. TCAC’s shareholders and other
interested persons are advised to read the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the amendments thereto and, when available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed in connection with the Business Combination, as
these materials will contain important information about TCAC, SpringBig and the Business Combination. When available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials for the proposed Business Combination will be mailed to
shareholders of TCAC as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. Shareholders of TCAC will also be able to obtain copies of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus
and other documents filed with the SEC, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a written request to: Tuatara Capital Acquisition Corporation, 655 Third Avenue, 8th Floor New York, New York 10017.
Participants in the Solicitation
TCAC and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from TCAC’s shareholders with respect to the Business Combination. A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a
description of their interests in TCAC is contained in TCAC’s registration statement on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022 and subsequently amended on April 26, 2022 and is available free of charge at the SEC’s website at
www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Tuatara Capital Acquisition Corporation, 655 Third Avenue, 8th Floor New York, New York 10017. Additional information regarding the interests of such participants will be contained in the proxy
statement/prospectus for the Business Combination when available.

executive officers and information regarding their interests in the proposed Business Combination will be included in the proxy statement/prospectus for the Business Combination when available.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements generally relate to future events or TCAC’s or SpringBig’s future financial or operating performance. For example,
statements about the expected timing of the completion of the Business Combination, the benefits of the Business Combination, the competitive environment, and the expected future performance (including future revenue, pro format enterprise value,
and cash balance) and market opportunities of SpringBig are forward looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by TCAC and its management, and SpringBig and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement;
(2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against TCAC, SpringBig, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the
failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of TCAC or to satisfy other conditions to closing, including the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following any redemptions; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Business
Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards at or following
the consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of SpringBig as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize
the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and
retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that SpringBig or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic,
business, and/or competitive factors; (11) the limited operating history of SpringBig; (12) the SpringBig business is subject to significant governmental regulation; (13) the SpringBig business may not successfully expand into other markets; (14)
the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its impact on business and debt and equity markets; (15) operating a business in the cannabis industry; and (16) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and
“Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in TCAC’s Registration Statement on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022 and subsequently amended on April 26, 2022, and which are set forth in the Registration Statement
on Form S-4 which was filed by TCAC with the SEC on February 10, 2022, as amended, in connection with the Business Combination.
Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements
will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Except as may be required by law, neither TCAC nor SpringBig undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking
statements.

3 Disclaimer (Cont’d)Important Disclosures Forward-Looking StatementsThis presentation contains
certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to (i) trends in the cannabis industry and springbig market size,
including with respect to the potential total addressable market in the industry; (ii) springbig’s growth prospects; (iii) springbig’s projected financial and operational performance, including relative to its competitors; (iv) new product and

the ability to maintain the listing of TCAC’s securities on the NASDAQ; (xi) the price of TCAC’s securities, including volatility resulting from changes in the competitive and highly regulated industry in which springbig plans to operate,
variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting springbig’s business and changes in the combined capital structure; (xii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after
the completion of the proposed business combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities; and (xiii) other statements regarding springbig’s and TCAC’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In
addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,”
“could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “outlook,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does
not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject, are subject
to risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of TCAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and registration statement on Form S-4, any proxy statement/prospectus relating
to the transaction, other documents filed by TCAC from time to time with SEC, and any risk factors made available to you in connection with TCAC, springbig and the transaction (including without limitation those set forth below in this
presentation under “Risk Factors”). These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of springbig and TCAC), and other assumptions, that may cause the actual results or
performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.You should not take any statement regarding past trends or activities as a representation that the trends or activities will continue in
the future. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Neither springbig, TCAC nor any of their respective affiliates, control persons,
officers, directors, employees, representatives or advisors assume any obligation and intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither springbig, TCAC, nor
any of their respective affiliates, control persons, officers, directors, employees, representatives or advisors gives any assurance that either springbig or TCAC will achieve its expectations.
Industry and Market DataThis presentation contains certain information concerning springbig’s products,
services and industry, including market size and growth rates of the markets in which springbig participates, that are based on industry surveys and publications or other publicly available information, other third-party survey data and
research reports, and springbig’s internal sources. This information involves many assumptions and limitations; therefore, there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy of such assumptions and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to this
information. 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 are not an indication as to future performance. Neither springbig, TCAC or any of their affiliates, control persons, officers, directors, employees, representatives or advisors has independently verified the accuracy
or completeness of any such third-party information. In addition, projections, assumptions, estimates, goals, targets, plans and trends of the future performance of the industry in which springbig operates, and its future performance, are
necessarily subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described above. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expresses in the estimates made by independent parties and by
springbig and TCAC. Neither springbig, TCAC or any of their respective affiliates, control persons, officers, directors, employees, representatives or advisors assumes any obligation to update the information in this presentation.Trademarks and
CopyrightsThis presentation may contain trademarks, service marks, trade names, and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners, and TCAC’s and springbig’s use thereof does not imply an affiliation with, or
endorsement by, the owners of such trademarks, service marks, trade names, and copyrights. Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this presentation may be listed without the ™, ©
or ® symbols, but TCAC and springbig will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, the rights of the applicable owners, if any, to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights.Financial InformationThe historical
financial information regarding springbig contained in this presentation had been taken from or prepared based on historical financial statements of springbig. Such financial statements will be included in the registration statement/proxy
statement related to the transaction. Accordingly, the historical financial information included herein should be considered preliminary and subject to adjustment in connection with the completion of the PCAOB audit. springbig’s results and
financial condition as reflected in the financial statements included in the registration statement/proxy statement may be adjusted or presented differently from the historical financial information included herein, and the differences could be
material. Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures (including on a forward-looking basis). These non-GAAP financial measures, and other measures that are calculated using these non-GAAP measures,
may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing springbig’s financial results, and therefore, are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP,
and should not be construed as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. springbig and
TCAC have included these non-GAAP financial measures (including on a forward-looking basis) because they believe these measures provided useful supplemental information to investors about springbig. springbig’s management uses these non-GAAP
financial measures, in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, as an integral part of managing its business. Using any such financial measure to analyze springbig’s business would have material limitations because the calculation are, for
example, based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant, and because they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be
recorded in springbig’s financial measures. Additionally, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore springbig’s non-GAAP measures may not be
directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. This presentation also includes certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of
some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, springbig is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward looking non-GAAP financial measures is included. We
caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions. Therefore, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and
with the results of other companies. EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is a non-GAAP measure, with the closest GAAP metric being net income. EBITDA as set forth above excludes non-cash stock compensation
expenses. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-GAAP financial measures as used in the above may not be
comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies or persons, because they may not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. 4 Disclaimer (Cont’d)Important Disclosures 4 3
Use of ProjectionsThis presentation also contains certain financial forecasts, including revenue and
revenue growth, revenue multiple, growth-adjusted revenue multiple, gross margin, EBITDA margin, CAGR, ARR and ARR growth, cannabis retail market, gross profit, operating income, projections and estimates. Neither TCAC’s nor springbig’s
independent auditors have studied, reviewed, complied or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of the inclusion in this presentation, and, accordingly, neither of them have expressed an opinion or provided any
other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. In this presentation,
certain of the above-mentioned projected information had been provided for purposed of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information 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 prospective financial information. Projections are inherently
uncertain due to a number of factors outside of TCAC’s of springbig’s control. While all financial projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, TCAC and springbig believe that the preparation of prospective financial
information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of future
performance of the combined company after the transaction or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this presentation
should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Additional Information About the Proposed Business Combination and Where to Find ItThe proposed
business combination will be submitted to stockholders of TCAC for their consideration. TCAC has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC, which will include preliminary and definitive proxy
statements to be distributed to TCAC’s stockholders in connection with TCAC’s solicitation for proxies for the vote by TCAC’s stockholders in connection with the proposed business combination and other matters as described in the Registration
Statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to springbig’s stockholders in connection with the completion of the proposed business combination. After the Registration Statement has been filed and
declared effective, TCAC will mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders as of the record date established for voting on the proposed business combination. Before making any voting decision, TCAC's
stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the preliminary proxy statement / prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive proxy statement / prospectus, along with all other relevant documents
filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed business combination and the TCAC’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of stockholders to be held to approve, among other things, the proposed business
combination, because these documents will contain important information about TCAC, springbig and the proposed business combination. Stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of the preliminary or definitive proxy statement, as well as
other documents filed with the SEC regarding the proposed business combination and other documents filed with the SEC by TCAC, without charge, at the SEC's website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to Tuatara Capital Acquisition
Corporation, 655 Third Avenue, 8th Floor, New York 10017.Participation in SolicitationTCAC and springbig and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed under SEC rules to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of

filings with the SEC, including TCAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022 and subsequently amended on April 26, 2022. To the extent that holdings of TCAC’s securities have changed from the amounts
reported in TCAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in
the solicitations of proxies to TCAC’s shareholders in connection with the proposed transaction will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus for the proposed transaction, which is expected to be filed by TCAC with the SEC. Investors and
security holders of TCAC and springbig are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents that have been and will be filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety when they become available because they will
contain important information about the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and other documents containing important information about TCAC and springbig through the
website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. Copies of the documents filed with the SEC by TCAC can be obtained free of charge by directing a written request to TCAC, 655 Third Avenue, 8th Floor, New York 10017.Risk FactorsFor a description of

results could be harmed.We may not grow at the rates we historically have achieved or at all, even if our key metrics may indicate growth.Other companies may enter our market or introduce new technologies, which could adversely affect our
business, financial and operating results.If we are not able to develop new solutions, or successful enhancements, new features and modifications to our existing solutions, or otherwise incorporate such new solutions or enhancements, new
features or modifications to existing solutions through acquisition or partnership, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Further, acquisitions of other businesses could result in a diversion
of management’s attention, result in additional dilution to stockholders, or otherwise disrupt or operations or harm our operating results. No guarantees can be made that we will successfully target acquisition opportunities or successfully
integrate any acquired businesses or operations.If our marketing is unsuccessful in bringing in new clients, we may need to adopt costlier sales and marketing approaches in order to attract and/or retain clients, which could have a material
adverse effect on our profitability.We may be unable to scale and adapt our existing technology and network infrastructure in a timely or effective manner to ensure that our products are accessible, which would harm our reputation, business and
operating results.Our industry is rapidly evolving and undergoing significant technological change. If we are not successful in adapting to this evolving environment, or adequately scaling or adapting our technology or promoting and improving
the benefits of our platform, our growth may be limited, and our business may be adversely affected.Our projections and estimates are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. As a result, our projected or

cloud-based data centers, infrastructure and technologies provided by third parties, and technology systems and electronic networks supplied and managed by third parties, to operate our business, and interruptions or performance problems with
these systems, technologies and networks may adversely affect our business and operating results.Failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our business and results of operations. Further, the protection and
enforcement of our intellectual property rights could be costly and/or divert management’s attention.If we fail to comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or any other applicable laws and regulations relating to consumer data,
information and data privacy, we may face significant damages, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.We process, store and use personal information and related data, which subjects us to

obligations could harm our business. We may be subject to claims brought against us as a result of content we provide.We may face difficulty in enforcing certain commercial contracts or other agreements. 41 Summary Risk FactorsImportant
Disclosures 41
Risks Related to the Cannabis IndustryCannabis remains illegal under federal law, and therefore, strict
enforcement of federal laws regarding cannabis would likely result in our inability to execute our business plan.Our business is dependent on U.S. state laws and regulations pertaining to the cannabis industry.The cannabis industry remains a
relatively new industry and may not continue to develop as currently predicted, which may negatively impact our success and ability to execute on our business plan.Because our business is dependent, in part, upon continued market acceptance of
cannabis by consumers, any negative trends could adversely affect our business operations.Expansion of our business is dependent on the continued legalization of cannabis.The rapid changes in the cannabis industry and applicable laws and
regulations make predicting and evaluating our future prospects difficult, and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.Federal law enforcement may deem our clients to be in violation of U.S. federal law. A change in U.S. federal
policy on cannabis enforcement and strict enforcement of federal cannabis laws against our clients would undermine our business model and materially affect our business and operations.The nascent status of the medical and recreational cannabis
industry involves unique circumstances and there can be no assurance that the industry will continue to exist or grow as currently anticipated.Any potential growth in the cannabis industry continues to be subject to new and changing state and
local laws and regulations.Change in the laws, regulations and guidelines that impact our business may cause adverse effects on our operations.Our business and our clients are subject to a variety of U.S. and foreign laws regarding financial
transactions related to cannabis, which could subject our clients to legal claims or otherwise adversely affect our business. Further, differing regulatory environments may cause adverse effects on our operations.Marketing constraints under
regulatory frameworks may limit a potential target cannabis company’s ability to compete for market share in a manner similar to that of companies in other industries.We may become involved in regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations
and audits.The cannabis industry faces significant opposition, and any negative trends may adversely affect our business operations. Consumer preferences may change, and the potential target business may be unsuccessful in acquiring or
retaining consumers and keeping pace with changing market developments.The market for businesses in the cannabis industry is highly competitive and evolving and we expect to face increased competition, which could negatively impact our
operating results.We, or the cannabis industry more generally, may receive unfavorable publicity or become subject to negative consumer or investor perception.Our reputation and ability to do business may be negatively impacted by the improper
conduct of our business partners, employees or agents.Certain events or developments in the cannabis industry more generally may impact our reputation.There are a limited number of management teams in the cannabis industry that are familiar
with U.S. securities laws.Service providers in the cannabis industry may be subject to unfavorable tax treatment. Service providers in the cannabis industry may face a number of regulatory and other challenges, including difficulty accessing or
maintaining banking or other financial services, insurance, or access to bankruptcy courts.General RisksNegative publicity could adversely affect our reputation and brand. Such negative publicity or our failure to otherwise protect our brand
could materially harm our business and operating results.If we are unable to recruit, train, retain and motivate key personnel, we may not achieve our business objectives.The impact of global, regional or local economic and market conditions
may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.Our business, financial condition, cash flow and results of operations may be adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or other similar epidemics or adverse
public health developments.Catastrophic events may disrupt our business and impair our ability to provide our platform to clients and consumers, resulting in costs for remediation, client and consumer dissatisfaction, and other business or
financial losses.A service attack, ransomware attack, security breach, unauthorized data access or other failure of our security measures could impair or incapacitate our information technology systems and delay or interrupt service to our
clients and consumers, harm our reputation, or subject us to significant liability.Changes in tax laws or regulations, and/or compliance with tax laws and regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our, business cash flow, financial
condition or operating results.We may require and be unable to raise additional capital, which could harm our business. 42 Summary Risk Factors (cont’d)Important Disclosures 42
