Forward-Looking Statements Legend

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between CTAC and KORE, including statements regarding the anticipated benefits of the transaction, the anticipated timing of the transaction, the anticipated terms of the transaction and the satisfaction of closing conditions to the transaction. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and are not predictions of actual performance, and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. 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 as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of factor 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 KORE. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of CTAC’s securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by CTAC’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by CTAC, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the approval of the merger agreement by the shareholders of CTAC, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following redemptions by CTAC’s public shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the business combination, (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on KORE business relationships, performance, and business generally, (vii) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of KORE, (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against KORE or against CTAC related to the merger agreement or the proposed transaction, (ix) the ability to maintain the listing of CTAC’s securities on The New York Stock Exchange, (x) the price of CTAC’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which CTAC plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting KORE’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xi) 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 (xii) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial and operational information with respect to KORE. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of CTAC’s registration statement on Form S-4 discussed above when available and other documents filed by CTAC from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither CTAC nor KORE presently know or that CTAC and KORE currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. CTAC and KORE anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause CTAC’s and KORE’s assessments to change. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and CTAC and KORE assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither CTAC nor KORE gives any assurance that either CTAC or KORE will achieve its expectations. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
