Leveraging over 40 years of multipath radio technology leadership, Comtech's MPR is revolutionizing high data rate communications capabilities by providing a rapidly deployable, transportable, low SWAP solution for military and commercial operators. Comtech's Multipath Mitigation Technology Advantage: reliable communications in diverse environments are essential for military and critical infrastructure applications. However, multipath propagation, where radio signals travel along multiple paths before reaching the end user, disrupts signal integrity, causing a drop in communications or total loss of connectivity. Operational Value for End Users: BLOS without SATCOM: MPR provides real-time data connectivity over-the-horizon up to 150 miles; this capability can be critical in satellite contested environments or when limited space segment is available. Reliable Communications: The MPR ensures clear and consistent communications across echelons, overcoming signal degradation caused by terrain or obstacles. Enhanced Situational Awareness: Reliable data exchange facilitates a shared understanding of a variety of scenarios ranging from military operations to disaster response, which is crucial for informed decision-making. Improved Interoperability: The MPR is over the air compatible with Comtech's entire Family of Troposcatter Systems. To enhance network and information interoperability, MPR provides an easy-to-use Layer 2 interface integration package for all IP based MESH and MANET radio networks. Common Digital Architecture: MPR is designed to leverage a common digital architecture across the Company's other product lines, including Comtech's Digital Common Ground modems. Low SWAP: The MPR provides users maximum SWAP flexibility against varied environments. The small footprint and rapid set up provide users with a true expeditionary capability. Enhancements: Comtech's MPR has a series of planned enhancements, including point-to-multi-point, which will allow simultaneous communications to multiple on-the-move platforms and stationary sites, eliminating the need for multiple systems at the hub location.

New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next year. Trailing 12-month net loss: US$24m Forecast net loss in 1 year: US$3.4m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-US$27m). Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$3.4m net loss next year). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.5% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Dec 11

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.6% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-US$23m). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.6% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.6% increase in shares outstanding). Anuncio • Nov 09

Comtech Telecommunications Corp. Provides Update on Putative Stockholder Class Action Complaint On October 25, 2021, plaintiff Anthony Franchi filed a putative stockholder class action complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against defendants Comtech Telecommunications Corp., the then-members of Comtech’s Board of Directors, White Hat Capital Partners LP and Magnetar Capital LLC under the caption Franchi v. Kornberg et al., C.A. No. 2021-0919-JRS, which was amended on November 1, 2021, in connection with a private investment in public equity transaction with funds affiliated with White Hat and Magnetar. As previously disclosed, certain terms of the PIPE were amended and the Company revised disclosures pertaining to the PIPE in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2021 Annual Stockholder Meeting, all in order for the parties, on November 10, 2021, to file a Stipulation and Proposed Order in the Franchi matter. Pursuant to the Stipulation and Proposed Order, among other things, the parties agreed, and the court approved, that the Plaintiff’s claims that the Company's preliminary proxy omitted material information regarding the White Hat and Magnetar investments would be dismissed. The parties further agreed that plaintiff would dismiss claims that the investments’ terms, including the coupon rate, conversion rate and voting rights provisions, were unfair to the Company and its stockholders and constituted an implied voting agreement in connection with the 2021 Annual Stockholder Meeting. While the Company disputed all of Plaintiff’s allegations and believed them to be without merit, the Company believed that entering into the aforementioned Stipulation and Proposed Order would avoid unnecessary litigation and is in the best interests of the Company's stockholders. On November 12, 2021, the Court entered an order dismissing the Action as moot and retaining jurisdiction solely for the purpose of adjudicating the anticipated application of Plaintiff’s counsel for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses. On April 4, 2022, the Company subsequently agreed to pay $1,100,000.00 to Plaintiff’s counsel in full satisfaction of the claim for attorneys’ fees and expenses in the Action. That payment was made on May 6, 2022. On May 3, 2022, the Court entered an order closing the case, subject to the Company paying the Mootness Fee and filing an affidavit with the Court confirming that this notice has been issued.
