Important Information for Investors and Securityholders

In connection with the proposed corporate reorganization that includes, among other things, the Redomestication, Core Laboratories Luxembourg S.A., a predecessor to Core Lab Delaware, has filed a registration statement on Form S-4, which includes Core Lab Delaware’s prospectus as well as the Company’s proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company plans to mail the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus to its shareholders in connection with the proposed corporate reorganization. INVESTORS AND SECURITYHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, CORE LAB DELAWARE, THE CORPORATE REORGANIZATION AND RELATED MATTERS.

Forward-Looking Statements

These forward-looking statements are subject to various important cautionary factors, including: the ability to receive, in a timely manner and on satisfactory terms, required securityholder, stock exchange and court approvals; ability to achieve anticipated benefits of the corporate reorganization; publicity resulting from the reorganization and impacts to the company’s business and

share price; risks and uncertainties related to the oil and natural gas industry; business and general economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, the ability to achieve the benefits of the Redomestication, international markets, international political climates, including the Russia-Ukraine geopolitical conflict, public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; and any related actions taken by businesses and governments, and other factors as more fully described in the Company’s most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These important factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations of the Company’s performance and are subject to a variety of factors, some of which are not under the control of the Company. Because the information herein is based solely on data currently available, and because it is subject to change as a result of changes in conditions over which the Company has no control or influence, such forward-looking statements should not be viewed as assurance regarding the Company’s future performance.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this communication, except as required by law.
