_______________
1 Revenue opportunity is based on the number of locations for each restaurant brand or franchisee group with whom Presto has a master service or pilot agreement and at which Prestoโ€™s technology is not currently installed; based on the pricing contained in the master service or pilot agreement for such customers. Revenue opportunity does not represent contractually committed revenue or backlog.

Presto Voiceโ„ข Annual Revenue Opportunity Reaches $17 Million, with over $100 Million Opportunity if Fully Expanded Across Currently Engaged Restaurant Groups

Presto announced that as of September 30, 2023, those locations of customers with which it has master service or pilot agreements and in which Presto Voice has not been installed represent an estimated annual revenue opportunity1 of approximately $17 million.

Presto also announced that as of September 30, 2023, the total locations of restaurant groups with whom they have master service or pilot agreements and in which Presto Voice has not been installed represent an estimated annual revenue opportunity1 of over $100 million.

โ€œWe are excited by the marketโ€™s receptivity to Presto Voiceโ„ข. We are committed to growing our partnerships with some of the largest and most successful QSR brands and their franchisees as we continue working together to create delightful AI-powered guest experiences,โ€ said Dan Mosher, President of Presto.

Inclusion in the broad-market Russell 3000ยฎ Index and small-cap Russell 2000ยฎ Index for 2023

Presto has joined the broad-market Russell 3000ยฎ Index and the small-cap Russell 2000ยฎ at the conclusion of the 2023 Russell Indexes annual reconstitution.

Annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the US all-cap Russell 3000ยฎ Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000 Index or small-cap Russell 2000 Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings, and style attributes.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $12.1 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russellโ€™s US indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.

Increased Ownership from a Major Existing Shareholder and Lock-up Commitment from Certain Existing Shareholders

Presto announced today that one of its existing major shareholders, Cleveland Avenue, has agreed to increase its ownership in the Company with a $3 million investment in Prestoโ€™s Common Stock at a price of $2.00 per share. The financing for its increased ownership is expected to close on or around October 16, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.

In addition, today Presto announced that shareholders holding a total of 31,772,520 shares of its Common Stock, or approximately 53% of the shares issued, agreed not to offer, sell, transfer, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any shares until December 23, 2024.

Revised Credit Agreement with Metropolitan Partners Group

Presto announced today that it has entered a third amendment to its credit facility with Metropolitan Partners Group. The conditions to effectiveness of the amendment, which is expected on or around October 16, 2023, include the investment by Cleveland Avenue described above and the Companyโ€™s engagement of advisors approved by Metropolitan.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness, Metropolitan has agreed (1) to waive certain events of default currently existing under the credit facility, (2) to increase the size of the facility by an additional $3 million, (3) to exchange $6.0 million of accrued and previously capitalized interest for warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and (4) to permit us to capitalize as principal interest for the interest periods ending September 30, 2023 through to January 31, 2024.

In addition, the third amendment removes the net leverage ratio covenant but retains a minimum unrestricted cash covenant and a covenant limiting the monthly decrease in operating cash. Based on the Companyโ€™s current business plan and forecasts, without the injection of further capital beyond the amounts disclosed in this press release, Presto anticipates being unable to comply with this minimum cash covenant in mid-December 2023.

โ€œWe are pleased that Metropolitan is continuing to support us as we pursue our growth strategy to penetrate this exciting market and path to profitability,โ€ said Mr. Casanova.

In addition, Presto has undertaken to pursue renewals of Presto Touch with its existing customers with a transition to Prestoโ€™s next-generation technology and, if this is not achieved by December 31, 2023, to provide and implement a strategic wind-down plan that is reasonably acceptable to Metropolitan with respect to Presto Touch.

โ€œOur Touch business has helped drive the success that we have achieved with Presto Voiceโ„ข,โ€ said Mr. Casanova. โ€œIn the future, however, we expect an increasing portion of our revenues to come from Presto Voiceโ„ขย and want to orient our business to focus on that opportunity. We have therefore agreed to assess our strategy for the Touch business with our lender.โ€

The Companyโ€™s cash and cash equivalents were $3.3 million as of September 30, 2023.

New Interim CFO, Nathan Cook, Joining Effective Today

Presto announced that Nathan Cook has been appointed as interim Chief Financial Officer effective today. After leading the Company as interim Chief Financial Officer, Stanley Mbugua will return to his role as Chief Accounting Officer. Mr. Cook has been specifically chosen due to his significant experience as an interim CFO making him well-suited to support the next phase of growth for Presto.

Mr. Cook is a Senior Managing Director at Teneo Capital LLC, a global advisory firm, a position that he has held since January 2023, where he provides accounting and financial consulting services. Prior to that, he held the position of Senior Managing Director at EY-Parthenon and Managing Director at AlixPartners and has also served as interim Chief Financial Officer for numerous companies during his career. Mr. Cook holds an MBA from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Michigan.

"I am excited to join Presto at this pivotal moment as the Company enters a pivotal moment targeting accelerated growth and a path to profitability,โ€ said Nathan Cook, interim CFO. โ€œPresto is a forerunner in introducing enterprise-grade AI and automation solutions to restaurants, and I am committed to contributing to its financial success and growth in the future."

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the โ€œSecurities Actโ€), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the โ€œExchange Actโ€). Statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as โ€œplan,โ€ โ€œbelieve,โ€ โ€œexpect,โ€ โ€œanticipate,โ€ โ€œintend,โ€ โ€œoutlook,โ€ โ€œestimate,โ€ โ€œforecast,โ€ โ€œproject,โ€ โ€œcontinue,โ€ โ€œcould,โ€ โ€œmay,โ€ โ€œmight,โ€ โ€œpossible,โ€ โ€œpotential,โ€ โ€œpredict,โ€ โ€œshould,โ€ โ€œwouldโ€ and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements are based on managementโ€™s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release or as of the date they are made. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Presto disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release. Presto cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Presto. In addition, Presto cautions you that the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are subject to the following risks and uncertainties: our limited operating history in a new and developing market makes it difficult to accurately forecast our future results and may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and future financial results; our success depends on increasing the number of franchisees of our existing restaurant customers that use our solutions and, in particular, Presto Voice, and the timing of the deployments of contracted locations; we currently generate the substantial majority of our revenue from three Presto touch customers, and the loss or decline in revenue from any of these customers, or the failure of such customers to renew their existing agreements, would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition; our sales cycles are long and unpredictable, and attracting new customers requires considerable investment of time and expense; our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to optimize the number of human agents required to operate our Presto Voice solution with our unit cost structure; changes in our senior management team have impacted our organizationโ€™s focus and we are dependent on the continued services and performance of our current senior management team; our ability to recruit, retain, and develop qualified personnel is critical to our success and growth; defects, errors or vulnerabilities in third party technology that is used in our solutions could harm our reputation and brand and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations; our pricing decisions and pricing models may adversely affect our ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers; changes to elements of our AI solutions could cause us to incur additional expenses and impact our product development program; we are subject to legal proceedings and government investigations which are costly and time-consuming to defend and may adversely affect our business, financial position, and results of operations; security breaches, denial of service attacks, or other hacking and phishing attacks on our systems or the systems with which our solutions integrate could harm our reputation or subject us to significant liability, and adversely affect our business and financial results; current liquidity resources raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and to comply with our debt covenants unless we raise additional capital to meet our obligations in the near term; our efforts to generate revenues and/or reduce our expenditures may not be sufficient and may make it difficult for us to implement our business strategy; we have faced challenges complying with the covenants contained in our credit facility and, unless we can raise additional capital, may need additional waivers which may not be forthcoming; we require additional capital, which additional financing may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders, to support the growth of our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all; unfavorable conditions in the restaurant industry or the global economy could limit our ability to grow our business and materially impact our financial performance; our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors with respect to our results of operations, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline; our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited; recent turmoil in the banking industry may negatively impact our ability to acquire financing on acceptable terms if at all, and worsening conditions or additional bank failures could result in a loss of deposits over federally insured levels; the restaurant technology industry is highly competitive and we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors; mergers of or other strategic transactions by our competitors, our customers, or our partners could weaken our competitive position or reduce our revenue; payment transactions processed on our solutions may subject us to regulatory requirements and the rules of payment card networks, and other risks that could be costly and difficult to comply with or that could harm our business; if we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be impaired and we may lose valuable assets, generate reduced revenue and become subject to costly litigation to protect our rights; we are, and may in the future be, subject to claims by third parties of intellectual property infringement, which, if successful could negatively impact operations and significantly increase costs; we use open-source software in our platform, which could negatively affect our ability to sell our services or subject us to litigation or other actions; our senior management team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance obligations may divert our attention from the day-to-day management of our business; we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and, if we fail to remediate these material weaknesses, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence and the price of our common stock; and other economic, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting Prestoโ€™s business generally as set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
