    Executive Summary As of May 2025, TaskUs’ share price was down ~54% from post-IPO levels ? At the time of the IPO, the Company and sector were trading in the low teens; since the introduction and proliferation of AI, both have re-rated down to low single digits TaskUs operates in outsourcing service categories that are expected to be fundamentally reshaped by AI. Our competitors and customers are investing heavily in AI, and TaskUs will need to invest materially to change how it does business ? TaskUs has three business lines, two of which (Digital Customer Experience and Trust + Safety) contribute ~86% of total revenue and are highly concentrated with customers that are investing billions annually in AI (e.g., Meta)? The Special Committee reviewed two cases of management projections (with and without the impact of AI on the business) and concluded that $16.50/share represented attractive risk-adjusted value even without any impact from AI or associated required investments ? Since announcement of the transaction, valuation, S1 and research peers1 are down ~10%2 amidst continued pressure from AI uncertainty, implying a TaskUs share price of ~$11.59 and an even higher premium of ~40%3 to the unaffected stock price ? The transaction multiple of 7.0x 2025E Adj. EBITDA4 compares more favorably today and vs. recently announced Telus transaction at 5.8x (LTM). TaskUs’ peers trade at a median of 4.8x NTM Adj. EBITDA today (vs. 5.1x prior to the announcement). ? A Special Committee of independent directors was formed and empowered to negotiate on behalf of the minority shareholders ? Over two months, the Special Committee held 12 formal meetings and numerous informal meetings to evaluate the Buyer Group’s proposal and potential alternatives, including remaining standalone, pursuing M&A or engaging in a recapitalization ? The Special Committee negotiated to improve value, terms and certainty – including 2 price bumps increasing the offer from $16.00 to $16.50 per share, securing fully committed no-outs financing and stringent protections for unaffiliated shareholders including a majority-of-the-minority vote requirement? From the outset, the Buyer Group stated unequivocally that it would not consider other alternative sale transactions? It is also important to note that over the years, the Company has had discussions with other parties, none of which yielded an alternative transaction The $16.50 per share all-cash offer delivers value and certainty for TaskUs’ shareholders amidst an uncertain environment that continues to be impacted by AI 1 1. See appendix for performance vs. peers 3. Based on median of 42%—see appendix 2. Based on median of 11%—see appendix 4. Based on consensus as of 5/8/25

    Conclusion $16.50 per share all-cash offer delivers significant value and certainty for TaskUs’ minority shareholders amidst an uncertain environment that continues to be impacted by AI The CX sector and peers continue to underperform amidst continued pressure from AI-related uncertainties. TaskUs’ implied share price today would be lower if the deal was not announced The Special Committee, with input from independent financial and legal advisors, conducted a rigorous review of the standalone risks and uncertainties for the business, including the potential disruptive impact of AI and significant investments in AI by competitors and customers The Special Committee negotiated with the Buyer Group over two months to materially improve price, terms and certainty while preserving stringent protections for unaffiliated shareholders at every step: ? Improved proposal of $16.50 / share representing a ~26% premium to 30D VWAP at time of announcement (implied premium of ~40%1 based on peer trading levels since announcement) ? No financing contingency ? Fiduciary-out for superior proposals? Reasonable and market termination fee? Majority-of-the-minority vote requirement The Buyer Group stated unequivocally that it would not consider an alternative sale, and prior discussions with strategics and other parties did not yield an alternative transaction 10 1.
