· Oberon reviewed publicly available transactions for the past three years and identified twenty-one transactions that involved the acquisition of companies in the telecommunications sector that were relevant and comparable to NTS based on operational characteristics and financial metrics.

The following disclosure supplements the disclosure under the heading “SPECIAL FACTORS— Opinions of Oberon Securities and B. Riley & Co. to the NTS Board of Directors—Opinion of B. Riley to the Board of Directors” by adding to the end of the fifth to last paragraph on page 50 as follows:

· B. Riley derived a 14.6% actual weighted average cost of capital for NTS using the unlevered betas from a set of public companies composed of firms larger in financial and operational scale than NTS. The application of a size premium to derive NTS’ weighted average cost of capital reflected the understanding that smaller size companies are inherently riskier and therefore should have a higher cost of equity. In addition, based on B. Riley’s knowledge and understanding of Company specific characteristics, including but not limited to NTS’ size and scale and markets of operation and B. Riley’s general view on the industry, B. Riley determined that a higher range of weighted average cost of capital would be appropriate. Notwithstanding the above, had the calculated weighted average cost of capital of 14.6% been taken as the mid-point of the range, resulting in a 12.6% to 16.6% weighted average cost of capital range, the implied price per share would have been $1.39 to $1.85.

The following disclosure supplements the disclosure under the heading “SPECIAL FACTORS— Opinions of Oberon Securities and B. Riley & Co. to the NTS Board of Directors—Opinion of B. Riley to the Board of Directors” by adding immediately before the last sentence of the second to last paragraph on page 50 as follows:

· B. Riley has not provided any services to NTS or its affiliates in the last two years other than the preparation and delivery of the fairness opinion to the board of directors concerning the Merger.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about NTS. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, such as those statements for periods following the Merger or regarding general economic and business conditions; industry capacity; industry trends; competition; changes in business strategy or development plans; project performance; availability, terms, and deployment of capital; and availability of qualified personnel. The words “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “to be,” and any similar expressions and/or statements that are not historical facts are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. Although NTS believes the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. The underlying expected actions or NTS’ results of operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside NTS’ control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect NTS’ results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which the statements were made and NTS undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this communication or elsewhere as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NTS cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or exploration and development success, and its future financial results may differ materially from those anticipated, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause NTS’ actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those factors set forth in the Proxy Statement.
