Transaction Announcement — For ClearOne Integrators, Distributors, and Customers

Subject: Biamp Expands Its Audio Innovation with Acquisition of ClearOne Intellectual Property

From: Rashid Skaf, President, CEO, and Co-Chairman

Dear ClearOne Customers and Partners,

I'm pleased to announce that Biamp has entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the intellectual property, brands, and product designs of ClearOne, Inc.

ClearOne has a long history of innovation in signal processing, acoustic echo cancellation, and beamforming microphone technology. These assets are a strong complement to Biamp's existing engineering expertise and will contribute to our continued leadership in delivering the most reliable, best-sounding professional audio solutions.

To be clear, Biamp is not assuming ClearOne's liabilities or support obligations, nor are we committing to continue existing ClearOne product lines. Instead, we will selectively leverage these assets to accelerate innovation and create new opportunities for you and your customers in the years ahead.

I anticipate you may have questions about your current ClearOne deployments and your options going forward. I've included FAQs that should cover many of those questions. In short, ClearOne will continue to be your resource for support of deployed systems. To support your current and future projects or dispose of on-hand inventory, Biamp is ready to help transition you to a Biamp-based system with an equipment swap program to exchange ClearOne equipment for equivalent Biamp equipment at an attractive discount. This is covered in more detail in the FAQs.

We want to minimize the impact of this event and provide a soft landing for ClearOne customers and channel partners alike. We encourage you to reach out to a Biamp representative (https://www.biamp.com/contact-us [pages.clearone.com]) or directly to Bart Freedman, Biamp's Vice President of Sales at Bart.Freedman@biamp.com to discuss your situation and see how Biamp can help. Thank you for the opportunity to support you today and the future.

Sincerely,

Rashid M. Skaf

President, CEO

Co-Chairman

Biamp

FAQs For ClearOne Customers & Stakeholders

Will Biamp offer an upgrade or migration path to Biamp systems?

Yes. To ensure the immediate and long-term support of integrators and end users of any ClearOne products, Biamp has constructed a program to provide a "soft landing". We will swap currently owned ClearOne products for similar Biamp products at discounts of 10% or more. There is no limit on the number of systems that can be swapped. We will offer an additional 5% discount for swaps made before end of year 2025.

Every customer's situation is unique and we don't want you worrying about what does or does not qualify for this offer. To make it as simple for you as possible, we invite you to contact a Biamp sales representative (https://www.biamp.com/contact-us [pages.clearone.com]) to discuss your current situation. If you have any difficulty reaching a representative or have a unique situation you want to discuss, feel free to contact Bart Freedman, Biamp's Vice President of Sales at Bart.Freedman@biamp.com and he will personally ensure you get prompt attention.

We understand this event has created uncertainty for you and we are committed to give you an effective and attractive transition path. We appreciate the opportunity to become your new trusted AV solutions provider.

Does this mean Biamp will continue supporting my ClearOne product(s)?

Biamp is not assuming responsibility for any legacy ClearOne support agreements or warranties. Existing arrangements remain valid under their original terms.

Can I still purchase ClearOne products through Biamp?

No. Our focus is on integrating the technology, not reselling the existing ClearOne product line.

Will my devices continue to receive firmware updates or fixes?

Not from Biamp. Refer to your ClearOne service contracts for detail on your options

Does this acquisition affect my deployed ClearOne products?

No immediate disruption is expected. Installed ClearOne systems should continue to function normally. Contact ClearOne for support.
