Introductory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of AvePoint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), dated as of July 1, 2021 and filed on July 7, 2021 (the “Original Report”), in which the Company reported, among other events, the completion of the Business Combination (as defined in the Original Report) with Apex Technology Acquisition Corporation ("Apex").

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to include (A) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of AvePoint Operations, Inc. (f/k/a AvePoint, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Legacy AvePoint”), as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 and (B) the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Legacy AvePoint as of June 30, 2021 and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

This Amendment No. 1 does not amend any other item of the Original Report (except as otherwise expressly stated herein) or purport to provide an update or a discussion of any developments at the Company or its subsidiaries subsequent to the filing date of the Original Report, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.

The information previously reported in or filed with the Original Report is hereby incorporated by reference to this Amendment No. 1. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Report. The information provided herein relates to Legacy AvePoint prior to the consummation of the Business Combination unless otherwise specifically indicated (e.g. with respect to subsequent events disclosures, forward-looking statements, or potential future risk factors) or the context otherwise requires.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Company makes certain statements in certain documents incorporated herein by reference that are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the federal securities laws and United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in or incorporated by reference in this Amendment No. 1, regarding the Company’s future financial performance, as well as the Company’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Amendment No. 1, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” the negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions, hopes, beliefs, intentions, and strategies regarding future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. The Company cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company, incident to its business.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Amendment No. 1, and current expectations, forecasts, and assumptions, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements in this Amendment No. 1 and in any document incorporated herein by reference should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any subsequent date, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, the Company’s actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

• the Company’s ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably following the Closing;

2

• the Company’s financial and business performance following the Business Combination, including financial projections and business metrics;

• changes in the Company’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans;

• the implementation, market acceptance and success of the Company’s business model and growth strategy;

• the Company’s expectations and forecasts with respect to the size and growth of the cloud industry and digital transformation in general and Microsoft’s products and services in particular;

• the ability of the Company’s products and services to meet customers’ compliance and regulatory needs;

• the Company’s ability to compete with others in the digital transformation industry;

• the Company’s ability to grow its market share;

• the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified employees and management;

• the Company’s ability to adapt to changes in consumer preferences, perception and spending habits and develop and expand its product offerings and gain market acceptance of its products, including in new geographies;

• the Company’s ability to develop and maintain its brand and reputation;

• developments and projections relating to the Company’s competitors and industry;

• the impact of health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on the Company’s business and the actions the Company may take in response thereto;

• the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer demands for cloud services;

• the Company’s expectations regarding its ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and not infringe on the rights of others;

• expectations regarding the time during which the Company will be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act; and

• the Company’s future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash.

Please see the other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined in the Original Report) in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, statements such as “the Company believes,” “AvePoint believes,” or “Apex believes” and similar statements, to the extent they or such similar statements are made herein or in any document incorporated by reference herein, reflect the Company’s, Legacy AvePoint’s, or Apex’s beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to AvePoint or Apex, as the case may be, as of the date of the document in which such statements were made , and while AvePoint or Apex, as the case may be, believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that such party has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
