~~In connection~~The ~~with~~following ~~the~~votes ~~Merger Agreement, on May 28, 2024, a putative stockholder of the Company filed a complaint against the Company~~were ~~and~~cast ~~the~~at ~~members of~~ the ~~Company’s~~Special ~~Board~~Meeting ~~of Directors~~ (~~the “Company Board”)~~ in ~~the~~person ~~U.S.~~or ~~District~~by ~~Court for the Southern District of New York (Anderson vs. DecisionPoint Systems, Inc., et al., No. 1:24-cv-04072~~proxy), ~~alleging that the preliminary proxy statement filed in connection~~ with ~~the~~respect ~~Merger~~to ~~omits and/or misrepresents certain purportedly material information in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of~~ the ~~Securities~~proposal ~~Exchange~~to ~~Act~~adopt ~~of 1934, as amended. The complaint seeks, among other things: (i) an injunction enjoining~~ the Merger, ~~(ii) rescission~~Agreement ~~or rescissory damages in~~ (the ~~event the~~ “Merger ~~is consummated, (iii~~Proposal”) ~~direction that defendants~~ ~~cause a revised proxy statement to be disseminated, (iv) costs of the action, including plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees~~ and ~~experts’~~ ~~fees, and (v) other relief~~ the court may deem just and proper. In addition, the Company has subsequently received demand letters and a draft complaint sent on behalf of other purported stockholders alleging that the Proxy Statement filed in connection with the Merger ~~omits~~Proposal ~~certain~~was purportedly material information in violation of federal securities laws. These demand letters and the draft complaint request additional disclosures in advance of the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders scheduled for July 1, 2024 at which a proposal for the adoption of the Merger Agreement will be considered (the “Special Meeting”).approved:

While the Company believes that the disclosures set forth in the Proxy Statement comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations, in order to moot the disclosure claims made by the plaintiff in the complaint and to respond to the demand letters and draft complaint, avoid possible expense and nuisance and business delays, preclude any efforts to delay the Closing of the Merger and provide additional information to its stockholders, the Company has determined voluntarily to supplement certain disclosures in the Proxy Statement with the Supplemental Disclosures. Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal merit, necessity or materiality under applicable laws and regulations of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, the Company specifically denies all allegations in the complaint, demand letters, and draft complaint described above, and the Company further denies that any additional disclosure is required or material. The Supplemental Disclosures will not affect the timing of the special meeting.

~~On January 27,~~Proposal ~~2024,~~3: the Company entered into a mutual non-disclosure agreement with Barcoding to facilitate further discussions of a potential strategic combination of their respective businesses, which agreement did not contain a “standstill” provision restricting Barcoding from making proposals with respect to the acquisition of the Company.

~~Beginning on~~No February 26, 2024, the Company opened a virtual data room with due diligence materials for each of Barcoding, Party A and Party C and their respective legal, financial, tax, environmental, benefits, IT and accounting advisors. Over the next four weeks, Barcoding, Party A and Party C and their respective legal, tax and accounting advisors, engaged in extensive financial, accounting and tax due diligence, with various conversations occurring among the parties and their representatives, and Mr. Grigorian and Company management to answer questions in these areas. These efforts included separate in-person meetings held in Greensboro, North Carolina, during the weeks of March 11, 2024 and March 18, 2024 between Mr. Smith, Ms. Wohl, other ~~Company employees and Mr. Grigorian, on behalf of the Company, with representatives of Barcoding and Party A at which the Company’s~~ business, ~~financial condition and growth opportunities were~~properly ~~discussed.~~came ~~During~~before ~~this process, all parties engaged in~~ the ~~bidding~~Special ~~process were provided access to the same information loaded into the virtual data room concerning the Company and were provided the same opportunities to meet with management~~Meeting.

The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 39 of the Proxy Statement in the section with the heading “Background of the Merger.”

On March 22, 2024, the Company, representatives of Barcoding and Barcoding’s IT advisors met for a demonstration of the VISION platform. Also on March 22, 2024, the Company provided projections of its estimated fiscal year 2024 revenue to Party A and Barcoding, which projected 2024 revenue of approximately $122 million, consistent with the figures that were provided to Craig-Hallum and included within the five-year financial projections presented below under the caption “The Merger—Unaudited Prospective Financial Information.” These March 22nd projections were intended to provide Party A and Barcoding with additional visibility into the Company’s sales pipeline, including Company management’s ongoing efforts to generate additional revenue from certain existing and prospective customers during 2024.

The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 40 of the Proxy Statement in the section with the heading “Background of the Merger.”

On April 2, 2024, Barcoding delivered a further revised written, indication of interest to acquire the Company based on an indicative enterprise value of the Company of $104 million (the “Second Revised Barcoding LoI”). Included in the Second Revised Barcoding LoI were proposed preliminary revisions to the bid draft of the merger agreement, which, among other things, rejected the proposed “go-shop” provisions of the merger agreement, and form of support agreement, as well as a request that the Company negotiate exclusively with Barcoding. Consistent with language included by Barcoding in each of the Barcoding IoI provided on February 9, 2024, the Barcoding LoI provided on February 15, 2024, and the First Revised Barcoding LoI provided on March 29, 2024, the Second Revised Barcoding LoI expressed Barcoding’s desire that the Company’s existing management team would continue in their roles with the Surviving Corporation post-Closing, although no specific arrangements or agreements were proposed or reached in connection with the Second Revised Barcoding LoI. Notwithstanding this statement in the Barcoding IoI of February 9 and 15, 2024, the First Revised Barcoding LoI, and the Second Revised Barcoding LoI, no discussions regarding any changes to the terms of the continued employment of the Company’s management post-Closing occurred between the Company’s management and Barcoding between January 11, 2024 and the date hereof and no such discussions are anticipated to occur prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 40 of the Proxy Statement in the section with the heading “Background of the Merger.”

Later on April 2, 2024, the Company Board met with members of Company management and representatives of Polsinelli and Cole Schotz to discuss the terms of the Second Revised Barcoding LoI. Mr. Smith provided an update on discussions with Barcoding over the prior few days, and the Company Board discussed the likelihood of negotiating an increased valuation from Barcoding. The Company Board also discussed Barcoding’s request that the Company negotiate exclusively with Barcoding, including the terms of the proposed exclusivity. As part of this discussion, the Company Board considered (i) the results of the Company’s “market check” to date and the Company Board’s belief that additional potential counterparties would not likely be interested in pursuing a potential acquisition of the Company on more attractive terms than those offered by Barcoding, which such belief was based on the Company Board’s familiarity with the business, operations and management of the Company, the industry in which it operates, its current and historical results of operations, financial condition and competitive position, and the results of the strategic review process to date, as more fully described below under the caption “The Merger – Recommendation of the Company Board and Reasons for the Merger;” (ii) the likelihood that Barcoding would not be willing to continue further discussions regarding a potential acquisition if the Company did not enter into exclusive negotiations; and (iii) the proposed “Superior Proposal” provisions of the merger agreement that would allow the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement with Barcoding to accept an unsolicited Superior Proposal in certain circumstances.

The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 40 of the Proxy Statement in the section with the heading “Background of the Merger.”

On April 15, 2024, the Company provided second quarter 2024 revenue projections and certain unredacted customer data of the Company prepared by Company management and information regarding the Company’s pipeline to representatives of Barcoding. These second quarter 2024 revenue projections were consistent with the fiscal year 2024 projections previously provided to Barcoding on March 22, 2024.

For each of the aforementioned transactions, Craig-Hallum calculated the premium per share paid by the acquirer by comparing the announced transaction value per share to the target company’s historical share price as of the following dates: (i) closing price on the last trading day prior to announcement of the transaction or first reference in the public news media about the transaction (the “1-Day Price”) and (ii) closing price 30 calendar days prior to announcement of the transaction or first reference in the public news media about the transaction (the “1-Month Price”). The 1-Day Price premiums were calculated by dividing the transaction offer price per share by the target’s closing share price one day prior to announcement of the transaction and subtracting one, then multiplying by 100%. The 1-Month Price premiums were calculated by dividing the transaction offer price per share by the target’s closing share price one month prior to announcement of the transaction and subtracting one, then multiplying by 100%.

The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 49 of the Proxy Statement in the section with the heading “Opinion of Craig-Hallum—Analysis of Comparable Publicly Traded Companies” immediately before the disclosure which begins “The following tables reflects the results of this analysis…”

The Enterprise Value/2023 Revenue multiples were calculated based on the relevant comparable publicly traded company’s enterprise value divided by its 2023 actual revenues according to public filings. The Enterprise Value/2024E revenue multiples were calculated based on the relevant comparable publicly traded company’s enterprise value divided by its 2024 projected revenues according to analyst estimates sourced from S&P Capital IQ. The Enterprise Value/2023 EBITDA multiples were calculated based on the relevant comparable publicly traded company’s enterprise value divided by its 2023 actual EBITDA according to public filings. The Enterprise Value/2024E EBITDA multiples were calculated based on the relevant comparable publicly traded company’s enterprise value divided by its 2024 projected EBITDA according to analyst estimates sourced from S&P Capital IQ.

The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 50 of the Proxy Statement in the section with the heading “Opinion of Craig-Hallum—Analysis of Comparable M&A Transactions.”

Craig-Hallum performed a precedent transactions analysis, which is designed to imply a value of a company based on publicly available financial terms for selected transactions. Craig-Hallum reviewed and compared certain publicly available transaction valuation metrics involving targets that Craig-Hallum determined, based on its professional judgment, reasonably comparable to the proposed Merger. Craig-Hallum reviewed and selected precedent transactions that, in the exercise of its professional judgment, were deemed to have similar characteristics to the Company’s business and/or financial profile that had closed or were announced but had yet to close, since August April 30, 2019, and had disclosed and made publicly available the transaction value as well as target company LTM revenue and/or EBITDA figures. Specifically, Craig-Hallum focused its analysis on transactions where the target company operated in the IT services and/or technology hardware and equipment industries with a total transaction value of less than $1 billion. The following tables reflect the results of these analyses with respect to comparable transactions:

Target	Acquiror	Date Transaction Closed	Total Transaction Value (US$ in millions)	Implied Enterprise Value (“EV”) (US$ in millions)	Implied EV/LTM Revenue Multiple (US$ in millions)

The Enterprise Value/LTM Revenue Multiples for each of the aforementioned transactions were calculated as enterprise value divided by LTM actual revenues based on information obtained from SEC filings, public company disclosures, press releases, industry and popular press reports, databases and other sources.

The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 50 of the Proxy Statement in the section with the heading “Opinion of Craig-Hallum—Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.”

Craig-Hallum then calculated terminal values for the Company using the terminal value method based on revenue and EBITDA multiples. The terminal value based on revenue multiples was calculated by applying a range of terminal LTM revenue multiples of 0.5x to 2.5x (selected based on Craig-Hallum’s professional judgment after consideration of the precedent M&A transactions multiples and comparable public company multiples) to the Company’s management’s revenue forecast for fiscal year 2028, and the terminal value based on EBITDA multiples was calculated by applying a range of terminal LTM EBITDA multiples of 8.0x to 12.0x (selected based on Craig-Hallum’s professional judgment after consideration of the comparable public company multiples) to the Company’s management’s EBITDA forecast for fiscal year 2028. These unlevered free cash flows and terminal values were then discounted to their respective present values as of April 30, 2024, using a range of discount rates of 16.0% to 20.0% (selected based on Craig-Hallum’s professional judgment and derived from an analysis of the estimated weighted average cost of capital using the Company’s data) to calculate a range of implied enterprise values for the Company. Craig-Hallum then derived a range of implied equity values for the Company and per share values for the Company common stock. From this analysis, Craig-Hallum derived an approximate implied equity price per share range for the Company produced from the discounted cash flow analysis and compared this range to the merger consideration to be paid under the Merger Agreement.

The following assumptions were used to determine the Company’s weighted average cost of capital:

● Observed 2-year weekly beta: 1.55

● Adjusted beta: (1.55 x 2/3 + 1/3)

● Book value of debt: $7 million

● Market value of equity: $62 million

● Assumed tax rate: 30%

● Unlevered beta: Equal to the Company’s adjusted levered beta of 1.37 divided by [1 + (the Company’s debt/equity ratio of 11%) * (1 - tax rate of 30%)]

● Risk free rate: 4.9% sourced from Kroll “Cost of Capital Inputs” Spot 20-year Treasury Yield as of April 26, 2024)

● Market risk premium: 5.5% sourced from Kroll “Cost of Capital Inputs” recommended Equity Risk Premium as of April 30, 2024)

● Size premium: 7.6% sourced from Kroll "Cost of Capital Inputs" CRSP Deciles Size Study size premium for companies with market capitalizations between $1.58 million and $97.40 million)

● Estimated cost of equity which was calculated per the Capital Asset Pricing Model as follows: {(risk-free rate) + [(equity risk premium) * (levered beta)] + (size premium)}

● Cost of debt: Based on the Company’s estimated cost of debt utilizing current market conditions and existing funded debt of the Company.

The resulting Weighted Average Cost of Capital for the Company equals 18.2% calculated as follows: [(cost of equity) * (equity/total capital ratio)] + [(cost of debt) * (debt/total capital ratio) * (1 - tax rate)].

The Company’s implied enterprise value was calculated utilizing the Treasury Stock Method (“TSM”) as follows:

● 7,680,334 (shares outstanding) plus 173,114 dilutive in the money options and restricted stock units (based on 416,813 Company options with a weighted average exercise price of $4.73) which equals 7,853,448 total shares outstanding (the “Adjusted Total Shares”).

● Adjusted Total Shares multiplied by $8.09 (Company share price as of 4/29/24) which equals $63.5 million (“Market Value of Adjusted Total Shares”)

● Marked Value of Adjusted Total Shares plus $5.9 million total Company debt minus $4.3 million total Company cash and cash equivalents resulting in $65.2 million implied enterprise value.

This analysis indicated the following approximate implied enterprise values for the Company:

USD$ in millions	Minimum	25th Percentile	Median	75th Percentile	Maximum
Terminal Revenue Method	$64	$104	$147	$193	$243

The following bolded and underlined language is added to page 51 of the Proxy Statement in the section with the heading “Opinion of Craig-Hallum—Miscellaneous.”

Pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter, dated February 26, 2024, the Company has agreed to pay Craig-Hallum an aggregate fee of approximately $240,000, which such fees became due and payable upon the applicable delivery of a valuation report and the opinion (the “Opinion Fee”). As discussed in greater detail above under the caption “The Merger – Background of the Merger,” Craig-Hallum was selected by the Company Board to provide such services to the Company after interviews by members of the Committee and representatives of Polsinelli with several recognized investment banking and valuation services providers, and the Opinion Fee was determined as a result of arms-length negotiations between the Company Board and Craig-Hallum. The Opinion Fee was not contingent upon the consummation of the Merger or the conclusions reached in Craig-Hallum’s opinion. Additionally, the Company has agreed to indemnify Craig-Hallum against certain liabilities and reimburse Craig-Hallum for certain expenses in connection with its services. The Company has not agreed to pay Craig-Hallum any other fees except as disclosed herein. Furthermore, Craig-Hallum was not requested to, and did not, (i) participate in negotiations with respect to the Merger Agreement, (ii) solicit any expressions of interest from any other parties with respect to any alternative transaction or (iii) advise the Company Board or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Merger. In addition, Craig-Hallum was not requested to and did not provide advice regarding the structure or any other aspect of the Merger, or to provide services to the Company other than the delivery of its opinion and a valuation report. Craig-Hallum has not otherwise acted as financial advisor to any party to the Merger. In the ordinary course of its business, Craig-Hallum and its affiliates may actively trade securities of the Company for its own account or the account of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. Craig-Hallum has not received fees or other compensation from the Company or Parent, or their respective affiliates, or otherwise had any relationship with the Company or Parent, or their respective affiliates, in the past two years prior to the issuance of its opinion. Craig-Hallum and its affiliates may from time to time, in the ordinary course of business, perform various investment banking and financial advisory services for the Company or Parent and for other clients and customers that may have conflicting interests with Company or Parent, for which Craig-Hallum would expect to receive compensation, however, it is not currently contemplated that Craig-Hallum will provide any future services to the Company or Parent, or their respective affiliates.
