 loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received with respect to such shares of common stock or preferred stock, as applicable, and your adjusted tax basis in such shares. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the receipt of cash in exchange for our common stock pursuant to the Merger, or the receipt of the preferred stock redemption payment in connection with the Redemption, unless you have certain connections to the United States or we are or have been a United States real property holding corporation and certain other circumstances apply. |

You should consult your tax advisor for a complete analysis of the particular tax consequences of the Merger to you, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax laws.

| Q: | What happens if the Merger is not completed? |

| A: | If the Merger Agreement is not approved and adopted by our shareholders at the Special Meeting or if the Merger is not completed for any other reason, our shareholders will not receive the merger consideration or any payment for their shares of common stock in connection with the Merger. Instead, Cantaloupe will remain an independent public company and our common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq. Additionally, if the Merger is not completed, we do not expect to redeem the shares of preferred stock as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. |

In certain circumstances, we may be required to pay 365 a termination fee equal to $31.5 million in connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement as described under the section of this proxy statement titled “ The Merger Agreement—Termination Fee; Effect of Termination”.

| Q: | Am I entitled to exercise dissenters rights instead of receiving the merger consideration or the preferred stock redemption payment for my shares of Cantaloupe stock? |

| A: | No. Under the PBCL, as well as the governing documents of Cantaloupe, holders of common stock are not entitled to dissenters rights in connection with the Merger. Upon the Redemption, the Merger will not entitle any former holder of preferred stock to any dissenters rights. |
