Business Combination with TWC Tech Holdings

As previously announced, Cellebrite and TWC Tech Holdings have entered into a definitive business combination agreement and plan of merger (“Merger Agreement”). As a result of the transaction, Cellebrite expects to become a publicly listed company on Nasdaq under the new ticker symbol, “CLBT”, and the pro forma implied equity value of Cellebrite post-merger is expected to be approximately $2.4 billion. The transaction seeks to accelerate Cellebrite’s ability to execute on significant near-term growth opportunities in the public sector, develop new customer solutions and expand its private sector and end-market reach.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. TWC Tech Holdings and Cellebrite believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for two principal reasons. First, we believe these measures may assist investors in comparing performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance. Second, these measures are used by Cellebrite’s management to assess its performance. TWC Tech Holdings and Cellebrite believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore such financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in any proxy statement or registration statement to be filed by TWC Tech Holdings with the SEC. A reconciliation of certain of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measure is set forth in a table included at the end of this press release.
