The following questions and answers list was used with employees of TaskUs, Inc. on May 9, 2025.

Employee Q&A

1.	What was announced?

●

We announced that the Company has entered into an agreement under which our Co-Founders Bryce Maddock and Jaspar Weir, in partnership with Blackstone, will acquire TaskUs and operate it as a private company.

●

We expect the transaction will close in the second half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals, including the receipt of required regulatory and stockholder approvals.

2.	What does it mean to become a private company?

●

Following completion of the transaction, our common stock will no longer be listed on any public market.

●

As we continue to seek to scale and grow, we believe that operating as a private company will allow us greater flexibility to make long-term investments in our business.

●

While this will be a change in the Company’s ownership structure, our frontline-first culture and focus on serving clients won’t change.

●

Until the transaction is completed, which we expect to occur in the second half of 2025, TaskUs remains a publicly traded company, and we are operating as usual.

3.	Why is TaskUs going private?

●

This strategic transaction with the Buyer Group will enable TaskUs to make the long-term investments to better support both our own business and our clients as we scale and adapt in the AI age.

4.	Who is Blackstone and what will their role be moving forward?

●

Blackstone is the world’s largest alternative asset manager and seeks to deliver compelling returns for institutional and individual investors by strengthening the companies in which the firm invests.

●

Following the close of the transaction, Blackstone’s partnership will equip TaskUs with additional flexibility and resources to make the long-term investments in AI capabilities that will be needed to enhance the customer value proposition in the fast-changing environment brought upon by AI.

5.	What does this transaction mean for teammates?

●

All shares of TaskUs stock will be purchased in the transaction in exchange for the per-share sale transaction price.

13.	What will happen to TaskUs’ PSUs / RSUs / stock options?

●

If you hold vested and unexercised stock options as of immediately prior to the closing of the transaction, such options will be cancelled and you will become entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the transaction consideration of $16.50 per share, less the exercise price per share, multiplied by the number of shares subject to such option, which will be made through payroll shortly following closing. If you hold unvested options as of immediately prior to the closing, such options will continue to remain outstanding and subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable before closing (except for changes to terms rendered inoperative or no longer applicable due to TaskUs ceasing to be a publicly traded company or for such other administrative or ministerial changes). Any options (whether vested or unvested) that you hold immediately prior to the closing that are underwater based on the transaction consideration of $16.50 per share will be cancelled for no consideration.

●

For any RSUs, PSUs or Options which have vested prior to the closing of the transaction, your shares will be purchased for $16.50 per share (less the strike price for Options). For all RSUs, PSUs or Options that have not vested prior to the closing of the transaction, the awards will continue to vest into the now private company on generally the same terms as outlined in the original award agreement except that any underwater Options will expire at the closing.

14.	As an employee, can I continue to buy / sell TaskUs stock until close?
