On November 1, 2013, Overland Storage, Inc., a California
corporation (the Company), entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the Acquisition Agreement) with Tandberg Data Holdings S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à
responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Tandberg) and Tandberg shareholders FBC Holdings S.à r.l. and Tandberg Data Management S.à r.l (collectively,
Tandberg Shareholders). The Acquisition Agreement contemplates a series of transactions pursuant to which the Company will acquire from the Tandberg Shareholders all of the capital stock of Tandberg (the

In

Transcript).
The Transcript is furnished and not filed pursuant to Item 7.01 as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. Such
information shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the

Important Additional Information About this Transaction

with the SEC, including Overlands proxy statement on Schedule 14A. STOCKHOLDERS OF OVERLAND ARE URGED TO READ ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, INCLUDING OVERLANDS PROXY STATEMENT, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Shareholders held on June 18, 2013, which was filed with the Commission on May 17, 2013. Investors may obtain additional information regarding the interest of such participants by reading the proxy statement regarding the acquisition when
it becomes available.

shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made
except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.
