When used this Presentation, the words "estimates," "projected," "expects," "anticipates," "forecasts," "plans," "intends," "believes," "seeks," "may," "will," "should," "future," "propose" and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward- looking statements in this Presentation. These factors include, but are not limited to, those set forth on pages 46 and 47 of this Presentation, as well as other unknown risks and uncertainties described from time to time in filings by Kludeln or Near with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Kludeln, Near and the Placement Agent each expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Kludeln's and Near's expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. Neither Near nor Kludeln gives any assurance that either party or the combined company can or will achieve its expectations. Actual results, performance or achievements may, and are likely to, differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements were based. There can be no assurance that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance, as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Kludeln or Near. All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof in the case of information about Kludeln and Near or the date of such information in the case of information from persons other than Kludeln or Near, and the parties and the Placement Agent disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements or other information as a result of developments occurring after the date of this Presentation. Projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts and may not, and are likely not to, reflect actual results. Use of Projections This Presentation contains financial forecasts with respect to, among other things, revenue, annual recurring revenue, contribution margin, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom primarily for CY 21 - CY 24. These unaudited financial projections have been provided by Near's management, and Near's independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures or any due diligence with respect to the unaudited financial projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. These unaudited financial projections should not be relied upon as being indicative of future results. The inclusion of the unaudited financial projections in this Presentation is not an admission or representation by Near or Kludeln that such information is material. The assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited financial projections, including the market for Near's services and Near's ability to raise funds if and when required, are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the unaudited financial projections. There can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of Near or Kludeln or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the unaudited financial projections. Inclusion of the unaudited financial projections in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the unaudited financial projections will be achieved. www.near.com 3#4Disclaimer (Continued) Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Presentation also includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including, but not limited to adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Near's financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. Near's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations, as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Further, this Presentation does not include any financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP or financial information derived from financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, which means that the Presentation does not show how the non-GAAP information relates to financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts and may not, and are likely not to, reflect actual results. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be given to non-GAAP financial information. Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this Presentation have been subject to rounding adjustments. Certain other amounts that appear in this Presentation may not sum due to rounding.

None of Kludeln, Near, the Placement Agent or their respective affiliates and any third parties that provide information to Kludeln or Near, such as market research firms, are responsible for any errors or omissions (negligent or otherwise), regardless of the cause, or the results obtained from the use of such content.

Investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties inherent in an investment in Near and in the securities offered in the PIPE, including, without limitation, those described below, before subscribing for the securities. If Near, Kludeln or, following the consummation of the Transaction, the combined company, cannot address any of the following risks and uncertainties effectively, or address any other risks and difficulties that may arise in the future, the combined company's business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to Near or Kludeln or that Near or Kludeln currently deem immaterial may also impair the combined company's business operations and financial condition. The following list of factors is not exhaustive. Risks Related to the Transaction ● ● • The ability of the combined company to meet the initial listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market or other exchange or market upon which the combined company's securities are listed or traded upon consummation of the Transaction. The failure to complete the Transaction by Kludeln's business combination deadline and Kludeln's potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Kludeln. ● ● ● ● Kludeln's and Near's inability to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed Transaction (the "Transaction Agreement") or to complete the proposed Transaction contemplated by the non-binding letter of intent executed by Kludeln and Near. Risks Related to Our Business and Industry Larger and more well-funded companies with access to significant resources, large amounts of data or data collection methods, and sophisticated technologies may shift their business model to become competitive with us. Changes in laws, regulations, and public perception concerning data privacy, or changes in the patterns of enforcement of existing laws and regulations, could impact our ability to efficiently gather, process, update and/or provide some or all of the information we currently provide or the ability of our customers and users to use some or all of our products or services. ● The inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, the amount of cash available following any redemptions by Kludeln's stockholders. ● The failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Transaction, including, without limitation, the approval of the Transaction and the Transaction Agreement by the stockholders of Kludeln and the satisfaction of any minimum cash requirements of the Transaction Agreement following any redemptions by Kludeln's public stockholders. The inability to complete the PIPE transaction. The occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Transaction Agreement. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or future pandemics, including the resulting global economic uncertainty and measures taken in response to such pandemic, could materially and adversely impact our business and future results of operations and financial condition. Adverse or weakened general economic and market conditions may reduce spending on sales and marketing technology and information, which could harm our revenue, results of operations and cash flows. Our customers or unauthorized parties could use our products and services in a manner that is contrary to our values or applicable law, which could harm our relationships with consumers, customers or employees or expose us to litigation or harm our reputation. www.near.com 46#47O Risk Factors (Continued) Risks Related to Our Business and Industry (continued) If we fail to protect and maintain our brand, our ability to attract and retain customers will be impaired, our reputation may be harmed and our business, results of operations, and financial condition may suffer. Our business is subject to substantial competition from a diverse group of competitors. New products and pricing strategies introduced by these competitors could decrease our market share or cause us to lower our prices in a manner that reduces our operating margin. We experience competition from companies that offer technologies designed to allow companies to better use and extract insights from existing, internal databases, or free information resources and from technologies that are designed to allow companies to gather and aggregate data from online sources. ● ● ● ● • ● ● ● ● ● We may be unable to adequately fund research and development, which could limit introduction of new features, integrations, and enhancements, which may limit our ability to compete effectively. ● We may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary and intellectual property rights in our data or technology. If we fail to offer high-quality customer experience, our business and reputation will suffer. If we are not able to obtain and maintain accurate, comprehensive, or reliable data, we could experience reduced demand for our products and services. Our failure to raise additional capital or continue to generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new technologies in the future could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm our results of operations. Cyber-attacks and security vulnerabilities could result in serious harm to our reputation, business, and financial condition. Interruptions or delays in services from third parties, including data providers, data center hosting facilities, internet infrastructure, cloud computing platform providers, and other hardware and software vendors, or our inability to adequately plan for and manage service interruptions or infrastructure capacity requirements, could impair the delivery of our services and harm our business, which may result in, for example, reduced customer satisfaction, damage to our reputation, limited growth and reduced revenues. We are subject to sanctions, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal penalties or significant fines and harm our business and reputation. If we cannot maintain our company's culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, teamwork, passion and focus on execution that we believe contribute to our success and our business may be harmed. The failure to recruit and retain qualified personnel could hinder our ability to successfully execute our business strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operating results. Failure to keep up with rapidly changing technologies and marketing practices could cause our products and services to become less competitive or obsolete, which could result in loss of market share and decreased revenues and results of operations. Risks Related to Certain Tax Matters Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate and additional tax liabilities may impact our financial results. Changes in tax laws or regulations in the various tax jurisdictions we are subject to that are applied adversely to us or our paying customers could increase the costs of our products and services and harm our business. Our results of operations may be harmed if we are required to collect sales or other related taxes for subscriptions to our products and services in jurisdictions where we have not historically done so. www.near.com 47#4819 SIC I LAKE IC Oft. near Thank You Connect with us at www.near.com 18×901-18~DOLL IC DE dif 628×964:22
