Key Transaction Terms

The combined company is projected to have approximately $195 million in cash on its balance sheet after closing, after the payment of transaction expenses and distributions to Biote members, derived from $317.5 million of cash held in Haymaker’s trust account transferred to the company (assuming zero redemptions from trust), the proceeds of the Truist debt financing, and expected balance sheet cash as of closing.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA (including on a forward-looking basis). These financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing our financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net loss or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that Biote’s

presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may be defined and calculated differently. Biote believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Biote. Biote management uses forward-looking non-GAAP measures to evaluate Biote’s projected financials and operating performance. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. See the Biote presentation referenced above for reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measures.
