EXPLANATORY NOTE

On June 12, 2021, messages were sent via email to certain holders of record of the Company’s stock, in order to encourage them to vote in the Company’s upcoming special meeting of stockholders to be held on June 30, 2021. The following is a form of those email messages.

Dear Shareholder,

Don’t wait! The board recommends you VOTE YES for ALL 6 proposals AND subparts. If you originally voted “Against” or to “Abstain” from any of the 6 proposals or subparts, it’s not too late to change your vote and vote “For” ALL 6 proposals and subparts. We request that shareholders vote for all 6 proposals, specifically Items 1 and 2, including 2b which says “To increase the number of authorized shares of common stock and “blank check” preferred stock.”

Voting FOR 2b does not reduce the number of shares you own. Voting FOR 2b is necessary to issue all required shares to AvePoint to close the merger properly.
