Explanatory Note

On April 17, 2023, SeaChange International, Inc. (“SeaChange” or the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) and a related proxy card (the “Original Proxy Card”) for SeaChange’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 19, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”). To provide an update, the Company did not receive any properly submitted additional director nominees; therefore, the election of director nominees at the Annual Meeting is not contested. Since this is not a contested election of director nominees at the Annual Meeting, when a quorum is present, a nominee for director shall be elected to the Company’s board of directors if the votes cast “for” such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast “against” such nominee’s election. Abstentions have no effect and are not treated as a vote cast, except for quorum purposes.

To clarify stockholders’ alternatives for voting on the election of directors, SeaChange is providing an updated proxy card with the voting options for Proposal No. 1 revised to “For,” “Against” and “Abstain” with respect to each individual director nominee. If you already voted on the Original Proxy Card, any votes cast “For” or “Withhold” from a director nominee will be counted as a vote “For” or “Against” such director nominee, respectively. If you already voted and wish to vote on the revised proxy card, you may do so via any of the means described in the Proxy Statement. Except as described herein, the revised proxy card does not modify, amend, supplement, or otherwise affect the Proxy Statement or the Original Proxy Card.
