Forward-Looking Statements
This Presentation includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of revenue and other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity and expectations. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of CTAC or the Company’s management, as applicable as projected revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined herein) are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor or other person as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of CTAC and/or the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, financial, legal, political and business conditions and changes in domestic and foreign markets; the potential effects of COVID-
19; risks related to the rollout of the Company’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; changes in the assumptions underlying the Company’s expectations regarding its future business; the effects of competition on the Company’s future business; and the outcome of judicial proceedings to which the Company is, or may become a party. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. The Company and CTAC anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause these assessments to change. However, while the Company and/or CTAC may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, each of the Company and CTAC specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
Use of Projections
This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to KORE. Such projected financial information constitutes forward-looking information, and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The Company’s independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation is not intended, and should not be regarded, as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Presentation is not intended to, and shall not constitute (i) a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Proposed Transaction or (ii) an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy or a recommendation to purchase any security of CTAC, the Company or any of their respective affiliates, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act or in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. You should not construe the contents of this Presentation as legal, tax, accounting or investment advice or a recommendation. You should consult your own counsel and tax and financial advisors as to legal, financial, and related matters concerning the matters described herein, and, by accepting this Presentation, you confirm that you are not relying upon the information contained herein to make any decision.

Disclaimer (Cont’d)
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) including, but not limited to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s Presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in the Company, and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with those of other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to footnotes where presented on each page of this Presentation or to the tables therein for a reconciliation of these measures to what the Company believes are the most directly comparable measure evaluated in accordance with GAAP. This Presentation also includes certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. The Company does not provide reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, or Adjusted EBITDA margin to net income on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to forecast the amount or significance of certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. These items include gains or losses on sale or consolidation transactions, accelerated depreciation, impairment charges, gains or losses on retirement of debt and variations in effective tax rate, which are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events, but which are excluded from the Company’s calculations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this Presentation have been subject to rounding adjustments. Certain other amounts that appear in this Presentation may not sum due to rounding.
In connection with the contemplated filing by CTAC of a proxy statement / prospectus on Form S-4 with respect to the Proposed Transaction, and in the course of the review by the SEC of such proxy statement / prospectus, CTAC may make changes to the information presented in this Presentation, including, without limitation, the description of the Company’s business and the financial information and other data (including the prospective financial information and other data) included in this
Presentation. Comments by the SEC on information in the proxy statement / prospectus may require modification or reformulation of the information we present in this Presentation, and any such modification or reformulation could be significant. In particular, we note that the SEC has adopted certain rules regarding the use of Adjusted EBITDA and other financial measures that do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which rules will be applicable to the proxy statement / prospectus expected to be filed with respect to the Proposed Transaction.

(2) Adj. EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA as defined for the Company’s Credit Agreement. Certain adjustments have been included in the nature of those allowed by the credit agreement to reflect the Transaction perimeter.
Note: KORE does not provide reconciliations of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA to net income on a forward-looking basis because KORE is unable to forecast the amount or significance of certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. These items include gains or losses on sale or consolidation transactions, accelerated depreciation, impairment charges, gains or losses on retirement of debt and variations in effective tax rate, which are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events, but which are excluded from the KORE’s calculations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
