Other Events.

As previously announced, on June 15, 2025, Cantaloupe, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Cantaloupe”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with 365 Retail Markets, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Catalyst Holdco I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Holdco”), Catalyst Holdco II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Holdco II”), and Catalyst MergerSub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco II (“Merger Subsidiary”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into Cantaloupe (the “Merger”), with Cantaloupe surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Parent.

The respective obligations of Cantaloupe, Parent, Holdco, Holdco II and Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, including the expiration or termination of any waiting period applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”).

On September 17, 2025, each of Cantaloupe and Parent received a request for additional information and documentary material (a “Second Request”) from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with the Merger. The effect of a Second Request is to extend the applicable waiting period relating to the Merger until 30 days after each of Cantaloupe and Parent has substantially complied with the Second Request issued to it, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier by the FTC. Cantaloupe and Parent will continue to cooperate with the FTC staff in its review of the Merger.

Assuming Cantaloupe and Parent receive the required clearance under the HSR Act and each of the other conditions to the consummation of the Merger are satisfied or waived in a timely manner, the parties to the Merger Agreement currently expect to complete the Merger in the first half of calendar year 2026.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains “forward-looking statements”, as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws, regarding Cantaloupe, Inc. (“Cantaloupe”) and 365 Retail Markets, LLC (“365”) and the potential transaction between Cantaloupe and 365, including, but not limited to, statements about the strategic rationale and benefits of the proposed transaction between Cantaloupe and 365, including future financial and operating results, Cantaloupe’s or 365’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and the expected timing of completion of the proposed transaction. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “explore”, “evaluate”, “forecast”, “intend”, “may”, “might”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “project”, “seek”, “should”, “targeted”, “will” or “would”, or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based on each of the companies’ current plans, objectives, estimates, expectations and intentions and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Cantaloupe’s or 365’s control. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained, and therefore actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: Cantaloupe’s and 365’s ability to complete the potential transaction on the proposed terms or on the anticipated timeline, or at all, including risks and uncertainties related to securing the necessary regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions to consummate the proposed transaction; the possibility that competing offers or acquisition proposals for Cantaloupe will be made; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the definitive merger agreement relating to the proposed transaction, including in circumstances which would require Cantaloupe to pay a termination fee; failure to realize the expected benefits of the proposed transaction; significant transaction costs and/or unknown or inestimable liabilities; the risk that Cantaloupe’s business will not be integrated successfully, including with respect to implementing systems to prevent a material security breach of any internal systems or to successfully manage credit and fraud risks in business units, or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; 365’s ability to obtain the expected financing to consummate the proposed transaction, and the continued availability of capital and financing for 365 following the proposed transaction; risks related to future opportunities and plans for the combined company, including the uncertainty of expected future regulatory filings, financial performance and results of the combined company following completion of the proposed transaction; disruption from the proposed transaction, making it more difficult to conduct business as usual or maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers, including as it relates to Cantaloupe’s ability to successfully renew existing client contracts on favorable terms or at all and obtain new clients; the ability of Cantaloupe to retain and hire key personnel; the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations; the business, economic and political conditions in the markets in which Cantaloupe operates; the impact of new or changes in current laws, regulations, credit card association rules or other industry standards, including privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations; effects relating to the announcement of the proposed transaction or any further announcements or the consummation of the potential transaction on the market price of Cantaloupe’s securities; the risk of potential shareholder litigation associated with the potential transaction, including resulting expense or delay; regulatory initiatives and changes in tax laws; the impact of pandemics or other events on the operations and financial results of Cantaloupe or the combined company; general economic conditions; and other risks and uncertainties affecting Cantaloupe and 365, including those described from time to time under the caption “Risk Factors” or “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in Cantaloupe’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and reports, including Cantaloupe’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, as well as in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings and reports by Cantaloupe. Moreover, other risks and uncertainties of which Cantaloupe or 365 are not currently aware may also affect each of the companies’ forward-looking statements and may cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated. Cantaloupe and 365 caution investors that such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in this communication are made only as of the date hereof or as of the dates indicated in the forward-looking statements and reflect the views stated therein with respect to future events as at such dates, even if they are subsequently made available by Cantaloupe or 365 on their respective websites or otherwise.
