(a) On March 24, 2023, the audit committee of the board of directors (the "Audit Committee") of biote Corp. (the "Company"), based on the recommendation of, and after consultation with, the Company's management, and as discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company's previously issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (the "Affected Financials"), each as previously filed with the SEC within the respective quarterly report on Form 10-Q, should no longer be relied upon and should be restated due to the matters described below. The Company intends to restate the Affected Financials (the "Restatements") by means of a Form 10-Q/A, Amendment No. 1 for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

The Company's management identified an error in the calculation of its earnout valuation in the Affected Financials, resulting in an overstatement of its earnout liability and its gain (loss) from change in fair value of earnout liability. As a result of correcting this error, the Restatements will reflect a reduction in the earnout liability and gain (loss) from change in fair value of earnout liability of the Company.

In addition, the Company has determined that it should attribute changes in fair value of its warrant and earnout liabilities to its operating subsidiary, BioTE Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), whereas in the Affected Financials these changes had been attributed to biote Corp. The Company determined that attributing these changes in fair value to Holdings more appropriately reflects the economics of the net income allocation to equity interests in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 810, given the Company's "Up-C" structure. As a result, the Company expects the Restatements to reflect a reduction in the Company's basic and diluted income (loss) per common share, as a pro rata portion of gain (loss) from changes in fair value of the warrant and earnout liabilities will be attributed to noncontrolling interests of Holdings, whereas in the Affected Financials the entirety of such changes were attributed to biote Corp.

The Restatements will only impact certain balance sheet items and non-cash expenses. The Restatements will not impact the Company's revenue, income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, liquidity, cash or cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing or financing activities.

While the Company's management continues to assess its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, it does not believe that the foregoing is the result of any previously unidentified material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company's management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with Deloitte.

#### Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information contained herein, this press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words. Statements that are not historical in nature, including the words "may," "can," "should," "will," "estimate," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend," "expect," "hope," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "target," "continue," "could," "might," "ongoing," "potential," "predict," "would" and other similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the success of our dietary supplements to attain significant market acceptance among clinics, practitioners and their patients; our customers' reliance on certain third parties to support the manufacturing of bio-identical hormones for prescribers; our and our

customers' sensitive to regulatory, economic, environmental and competitive conditions in certain geographic regions; our ability to increase the use by practitioners and clinics of the Biote Method at the rate that we anticipate or at all; our ability to grow our business; the significant competition we face in our industry; our limited operating history; our ability to protect our intellectual property; the heavy regulatory oversight in our industry; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the inability to profitably expand in existing markets and into new markets; the possibility that we may be adversely impacted by other economic, business and/or competitive factors and future exchange and interest rates. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of Biote's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and other documents filed by Biote from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward- looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Biote assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Biote does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
