TransAct is including the following disclosure in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement:

Expectations for the Quarter Ending December 31, 2020

Given recent market conditions and the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the Company’s and its customers’ businesses, and consistent with the provision of third quarter expectations to investors on August 5, 2020, the Company is providing the below expectations with respect to fourth quarter net sales and paid BOHA! terminals in the market. These expectations are forward-looking statements and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties, including, among others, those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on S-5 of this prospectus supplement and in our 2019 Form 10-K and our Q1 and Q2 2020 Forms 10-Q and the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus supplement. These expectations should not be viewed as a substitute for full audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved in any future period. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on these expectations, which may differ materially from actual results.

Based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, the Company expects net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 to be in the range of $7.5 million to $8.0 million and anticipates that there will be 5,000 to 6,000 paid BOHA! terminals in the market as of the end of the quarter.

The foregoing information is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 “Regulation FD Disclosure” of Form 8-K. Such information, including the exhibit furnished herewith, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

This Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this Report regarding expected fourth quarter 2020 net sales and paid BOHA! terminals anticipated to be in the market as of the end of such quarter are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks, uncertainties and other factors related to the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on TransAct’s business, operations, financial condition, results of operations and capital resources, including as a result of supply chain disruptions, shutdowns and/or operational restrictions imposed on our customers, inability of customers to make payments on time or at all, diversion of management attention, necessary modifications to business practices and operations, cost cutting measures that TransAct has made and may continue to make, a possible future reduction in the value of goodwill or other intangible assets, inadequate manufacturing capacity or a shortfall or excess of inventory as a result of difficulty in predicting manufacturing requirements due to volatile economic conditions, price increases or decreased availability of component parts or raw materials, exchange rate fluctuations, volatility of and decreases in trading prices of TransAct’s common stock and the availability of needed financing on acceptable terms or at all; TransAct’s ability to successfully develop new products that garner customer acceptance and generate sales, both domestically and internationally, in the face of substantial competition; the ability to successfully transition TransAct’s business into the food service technology market; the ability to remediate the material weaknesses over internal control over financial reporting; risks associated with potential future acquisitions; general economic conditions; dependence on contract manufacturers for the assembly of a large portion of TransAct’s products in Asia; dependence on significant suppliers; the ability to recruit and retain quality employees as TransAct grows; dependence on third parties for sales outside the United States; marketplace acceptance of new products; risks associated with foreign operations; the availability of third-party components at reasonable prices; price wars or other significant pricing pressures affecting TransAct's products in the United States or abroad; increased product costs or reduced customer demand for TransAct’s products due to changes in U.S. policy that may result in trade wars or tariffs; the ability to protect intellectual property; the effect of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union; and other risk factors detailed in TransAct’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, quarterly reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
