3 What is Legion’s Proxy Contest About? After years of constructive engagement between OneSpan and Legion, during which OneSpan evaluated all of Legion’s suggestions (and adopted many of them), is Legion now entitled to replace half of OneSpan’s independent directors (even though it has offered virtually no new strategy or operational ideas) just because Legion remains frustrated that the market does not value OneSpan the way Legion believes it should?

6 Executive Summary OneSpan has been executing a multi - year transformation from an authentication business to a trusted identity solutions provider The OneSpan Board has been refreshed with new directors who bring skills and experience that fit our business Through our transformation, OneSpan has been delivering value for shareholders • For decades, OneSpan’s core business was supplying hardware “tokens” and server software to authenticate network users • Our strategy has evolved, and OneSpan now provides mobile device - based authentication as well as a suite of trusted identity solutions, many of which are software and cloud - based solutions • In our authentication business, we sell both hardware and mobile authentication because our customers often require both and doing so enables significant cross - selling and upselling opportunities; hardware is not a separate business or segment • We are actively leveraging our core competencies to expand beyond authentication and outside of financial services, to create more durable, diverse and recurring revenue streams • OneSpan has significantly changed our Board composition as we have implemented our strategy • We have recruited six new directors 2 over the last two years (five are current directors) • Most of our new directors have extensive, C - level experience at software and cloud - based solutions companies • Our longer - serving directors have been rotating off the Board in an orderly fashion, ensuring we maintain important institutional knowledge • Our nominees’ average board tenure is now < 6 years • Our strategy has been delivering results , as we have executed on dozens of initiatives; annual recurring revenue has increased • OneSpan’s stock price has increased by more than 70% over the last three years 1 as the transformation has taken shape, exceeding the median of our peer group and broader market indices • To enable our shareholders to assess our progress, we have enhanced our disclosures as our business has evolved • Many of our investors and three of our five sell - side analysts use a sum - of - the - parts valuation methodology to account for the different margin structures and business models within OneSpan • Our Board continues to examine all avenues for creating value , including actively assessing the value of selling the hardware component of the authentication business and a potential sale of our eSignature product line (both of which were recently recommended by Legion, but now abandoned) 1 Source: FactSet. Data from April 30, 2018 to April 30, 2021. 2 One of those directors, Naureen Hassan, left our Board to pursue a position in the public sector that did not permit her to serve on a public company board.

 
 

7 Executive Summary, Continued Legion’s principal idea ( until May 17 when it shifted demands again ) – selling the hardware component of our authentication business – is based on spreadsheet math, not real - world competitive dynamics or customer needs Given OneSpan’s transformation and our responsiveness to shareholders like Legion, this contest is unnecessary. Shareholders should support OneSpan’s nominees by voting on the BLUE proxy card Legion alternatively chastises us for accepting its ideas (“defensive”) or for having a different view (“rejecting change”); Legion has few actionable suggestions now, and just wants the “Board [to] fix the stock” ¹ • For more than a year, Legion demanded that we sell the “hardware business” to enable a “rerating” of OneSpan’s stock; this week, Legion seemingly dropped that misguided idea • Our Board dutifully evaluated the potential value of a disposition, and concluded that the hardware component of our authentication business remains a critical part of our solutions set at this time , competitively necessary and critical to certain customers and adjacent market opportunities • 19 of our 20 largest customers use our hardware tokens for authentication • Moreover, our server software drives both hardware and mobile authentication; it would be very complex to separate responsibility for maintaining this server software, which sits mostly inside our clients’ networks • OneSpan is executing on a multi - year transformation from a hardware - based tech company to a software - driven, cloud - centric solutions company • As our strategy has evolved, our Board has been thoughtfully refreshed to reflect the skillsets needed to execute the strategy • We have engaged extensively with Legion and shown our willingness to adopt Legion’s suggestions when they made sense for the business • Legion’s 154 - page presentation offers virtually no strategic or operational insights or suggestions • Legion’s candidates are not additive to our Board • We have engaged constructively with Legion since its first investment in our stock three years ago, including by having more than 40 meetings and calls with Legion representatives • Legion has changed its suggestions over time. For example, it no longer appears to advocate for the sale of our eSignature product line, or the hardware component of our authentication business, both of which we explored prior to Legion abandoning its recommendations • Legion has also flip - flopped on other issues , claiming at one point that OneSpan had an excellent M&A track record and a good record of execution and now saying otherwise • The Board thoroughly examined Legion’s suggestions and implemented several when they made sense for the business • Legion’s nominees do not bring better skills (and not even the skills Legion believes we need) and would replace our Chair and two committee chairs ¹ Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation, page 47.

9 Overview of Engagement With Legion Partners • Over the last three years, management has met with Legion representatives by phone or in person over 40 times • Nearly all of Legion’s demands have been (and continue to be) disclosure related • Legion has become more aggressive over time , initially engaging constructively with our Board and then issuing public letters, and now demanding four Board seats • As OneSpan’s share value has increased, Legion has continuously shifted its demands from improving investor communications (and analyst coverage) and reducing complexity to assist investors with valuation, to later demanding that we sell our eSignature product line and the hardware component of our authentication business; in May 2021, three months into its proxy contest, it now seeks new changes for the first time to our executive compensation plan • OneSpan has continued to execute its transformation to a cloud - centric enterprise while implementing many of Legion’s recommendations when they have made sense for the business OneSpan TSR During Period of Legion’s Investment 1 1 Source: FactSet.

Legion recommended three Board candidates Legion recommended three different Board candidates Legion recommended two different Board candidates

 
 

11 Despite Our Engagement and Progress, Legion Continues to Have Complaints LEGION’S CLAIM / COMPLAINT ONESPAN’S RESPONSE OneSpan’s TSR underperforms peers and is undervalued relative to peers The peer groups chosen by Legion consist of much larger and established software companies (see slides 37 and 38 for detail); they are not “peer” companies with respect to OneSpan’s stage of maturity, business mix or transition from hardware to software licenses to a SaaS business model; OneSpan has had a cloud - based software product for only two years Our TSR has been competitive to our proxy peers during our transformation, and we have outperformed our proxy peers and broader market indices over one and three years ¹ The “hardware business” is a “structural impediment” to a fair valuation The hardware component of our authentication business (which is neither a “segment” nor a “business” despite Legion’s claim otherwise) remains integral to serving our customers and to generating additional selling opportunities; investors (including Legion) do not appear to have trouble valuing our business using a sum - of - the - parts methodology OneSpan’s capital allocation is focused solely on M&A and the company has not executed M&A well in the past OneSpan has a share repurchase authorization in place; our last acquisition was in 2018, after which Legion stated that OneSpan had “an excellent M&A track record” OneSpan’s executive compensation program does not align interests Legion raised this concern for the first time in this proxy contest and is referring to a long - term compensation plan that was adopted in late 2017, even before our transformation took shape. Today’s compensation program incentivizes recurring software revenue and profit growth The Board lacks experience to help OneSpan become a cloud - first software company OneSpan has added 6 new directors ² since 2019 with expertise in the key aspects of cloud - based software: product roadmap and development, sales and marketing, finance and general P&L management; most have experience with financial services customers, our target market 1 Through April 30, 2021 ² Five of these six directors continue to serve on our Board.

 
 

12 Legion’s Revolving Door of Suggestions  “Transform into a software pure play” and sell the Company’s “Hardware segment” ¹  “Monetize $400 million of value” and sell the Company’s “eSignature SaaS business” ¹  Redesign OneSpan’s executive compensation programs, including to: o Use “software - oriented recurring revenue metrics such as ARR in conjunction with profitability” o Use the “‘Rule of 40’ approach: add Software revenue growth and Software free cash flow . . . margin together” o “Shift mix of long - term equity awards to be more performance - based (and less time - based)”  Address OneSpan’s “[b] loated cost structure”  “[R]educe the number of countries in which OneSpan operates”  Improve ESG disclosures, including by adding a “materiality matrix”  Additions of directors to the Board since 2019 ³ , ⁶  The succession plan for our Audit Committee Chair, including both the retirement of Mr. Cullinane and the appointment of Mr. Nietzel 3, 4  Mr. Hunt’s resignation from the Board 3, 4, 6  OneSpan’s engagement of an investment bank to review its strategy, business, configuration, M&A, strategic alternatives and capital structure 5  The Board’s formation of the Finance and Strategy Committee 4  Adoption of our share repurchase program 6  Use of ARR as a performance metric for the Company’s 2021 incentive program 6 Suggestions Legion Has Seemingly Abandoned This Week’s New Suggestions (as of May 17, 2021) ⁶ Changes that Legion Has Falsely Taken Credit For 1 Legion’s August 18, 2020 Letter to the Board of Directors; 2 Legion’s June 14, 2019 Letter to the Board of Directors; 3 Legion’s February 25, 2021 Letter to Shareholders; 4 Legion’s May 3, 2021 Letter to Shareholders; 5 Legion’s April 15, 2021 Letter to Shareholders; 6 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation. Legion has changed its suggestions regularly, seemingly forgetting and avoiding accountability for its ill - conceived suggestions (that OneSpan nevertheless investigated), taking post - hoc credit for changes that were not a result of Legion’s actions and frequently adding new suggestions, which it did as recently as Monday, May 17, 2021

 
 

13 Legion Has Abandoned Its Core Strategy Suggestion Legion’s February 25, 2021 Letter Legion’s Investor Presentation May 2021 1 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation, page 99 [emphasis added]. Legion has been advocating for a sale of the hardware component of our authentication business for nearly a year “We have strongly recommended, privately at first and now publicly, that the Company undertake a strategic review process to monetize the Hardware business .” “The Board has characterized Legion’s plan as solely focused on an asset sale of Hardware – as we have stated privately and publicly, there are multiple paths towards achieving full and fair value for stockholders” ¹ Legion’s August 18, 2020 Letter “We strongly urge the Board to initiate a strategic review of the Hardware segment in an effort to sell the segment , to transform OneSpan into a software pure play...” After launching this election contest with “sell hardware” as the core demand, Legion has apparently realized it was wrong and is now backpedaling

 
 

14 Legion’s Current (Remaining) Suggestions for Improving OneSpan  “Create a detailed capital allocation framework”  Executive compensation plan should be tied to software profitability (N.B. it is) STRATEGY OPERATIONS DISCLOSURE GOVERNANCE  Reduce the number of countries in which OneSpan operates  Address the “bloated” cost structure  Disclose “hardware” as a segment  Disclose additional software - oriented metrics  Improve ESG disclosures Source: Legion’s May 17, 2021, investor presentation The Board should “fix [the] stock”

16 Regarding Our Relationship with Legion PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL PREPARED AT THE DIRECTION OF COUNSEL Legion is seemingly frustrated when OneSpan : • Adopts one of Legion’s suggestions (they claim we are just “ being reactive ”); • Acts without Legion’s prompt (they claim we are taking a “ defensive action ”); or • Has a reasonable difference of view and does not implement Legion’s suggestions (they claim we are “ rejecting meaningful change ”) After three years of engagement, and many positive actions by our executive team and Board that aim to create shareholder value, we are committed to engaging constructively with Legion

Purchase Price Legion’s Estimated Value +370% • Legion is now complaining about OneSpan’s M&A track record, despite previously commending our M&A efforts – The current management team has effectively done or integrated two deals: Silanis Technology and Dealflo , neither of which Legion has complained about – OneSpan has not done any material M&A since Legion praised management’s M&A track record in 2018 • Notably, Legion singles out for criticism just one small ($13 million) M&A deal, completed a decade ago before the current management team and most of our Board was in place • Our M&A transactions overall have allowed us to migrate our business into higher margin, more software - focused product lines and have undoubtedly created value overall • We have also acquired expertise that we have used to create new products and product extensions • OneSpan Sign, for example, was created through the acquisition of Silanis Technology in 2015 “ OSPN management has an excellent M&A track record – we are supportive of additional tuck - in M&A to gain capabilities and cross - sell new products to the existing customer base.” 2

58 Legion Has Abandoned Its Demand That We Sell eSignature Legion’s Investor Presentation May 2021 1 1 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation at 99. Legion’s August 18, 2020 Letter “The Board should immediately pursue a divestiture of the eSignature business, OneSpan Sign, while market conditions are highly favorable... We do not believe owning eSignature technology directly is of significant strategic importance to OneSpan” Legion has abandoned its demand to sell the eSignature product line and barely even mentions eSignature, totally omitting its demand for a sale in its 154 - page presentation Just nine months ago, Legion had very strong views about our eSignature “business” and demanded a sale [Nothing about eSignature]

 
 

59 June 2020: Our Board discussed various strategic alternatives, as Legion has requested September 2020: Our Board formed a new Finance and Strategy Committee and engaged an independent financial advisor to perform an independent valuation of the Company’s hardware authentication, eSignature and security software product lines November 2020: Dr. Zenner, Chair of the Finance and Strategy Committee, oversaw a process to interview several investment banks December 2020: The Company engaged a leading investment bank, and our Board discussed various valuation analyses and strategic alternatives; our Board directed the financial advisor to explore potential paths with respect to the eSignature product line February 2021: After contacting 37 parties, there were numerous management presentations, and eight parties signed NDAs March 2021: Final bids were received April 2021: After further negotiation and discussions with interested parties, our Board determined that the non - binding offers received were inadequate and that continuing to own and operate this fast - growing product line was in the best interests of shareholders Our Board Has Evaluated a Sale; Concluded it Would Not Create Value CONFIDENTIAL As Legion suggested in August (but not now), our Board examined a sale of our eSignature product line

 
 

60 Legion Falsely Claims Credit on Executive Compensation Legion did not even mention the term “executive compensation” once in over 100 pages of public and private letters and presentations, prior to its proxy filing in March 2021 1 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation at 122. “BARNHILL ERA” LEGACY ISSUES NEW DIRECTION Legion’s Recent Claim Reality Our executive compensation plan has evolved every year during our transition, and the most recent plan was adopted in February 2021, weeks before Legion ever mentioned the words “executive compensation” “The executive compensation program has only changed reactively to our pressure…”

 
 

61 We Modified Our Incentive Plans to Align Compensation and Strategy Realigned Incentive Plans to Support Our Strategy • As our business and strategy have evolved, so too has our approach to incentive compensation • Previous versions of our CEO’s compensation plan focused heavily on revenue as a means of encouraging growth; in 2015, nearly all of our CEO’s incentive compensation opportunity was tied to this one metric • This approach, however, was at odds with the fact that the hardware token business – which accounted for 78% of total revenue in 2015 – is not as profitable at the gross margin level or as recurring as software • As our strategy and revenue mix shifted to software and services, our Board adjusted the CEO’s compensation accordingly • In 2020, 70% of the value of our CEO’s annual incentive opportunity was tied to software/SaaS - focused metrics such as Adjusted Annual Contract Value and Annual Software and Services Revenue that support our transition to an increasingly software - focused business model • Management cannot achieve target payouts under the Annual Incentive Plan by outperforming on hardware authentication sales alone 1 Source: Company filings. 2016 represents the last full fiscal year prior to Mr. Clements’ tenure as CEO. “Software / SaaS Metrics” includes Software & Services revenue and Annual Adjusted Contract Value.

63 Legion’s Claims Regarding Compensation Are New and Misguided PSU Metrics Were Aligned with Our Revenue Mix When Adopted • Legion had never voiced any concerns to us regarding the structure of our executive compensation plans 1 • In its presentation, Legion highlights the 2018 - 2020 LTIP awards in particular; at the time these awards were made, our revenue mix was evenly split between hardware and non - hardware • The award structure in our 2018 - 2020 LTIP logically reflected the fact that, at the time, our transformation was still in its early stages and a significant portion of our revenue was tied to hardware - based authentication solutions • Legion’s “recommended plan” would be impossible to implement because there is no way to calculate “hardware FCF” or “software FCF” given our integrated authentication business 2 Until its preliminary proxy filing in this contest, Legion had never criticized our executive compensation; its new line of attack is baseless and backward - looking 50% 50% 50% 50% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% OneSpan 2018 Revenue Mix (% of Total) 2018 - 2020 PSU Metrics Hardware Revenue 2018 - 2020 Hardware Revenue Non-Hardware Revenue 2018 - 2020 Non-Hardware Revenue 1 Includes all public and private letters and presentations: June 14, 2018 Management Presentation; June 14, 2019 Letter to Ou r B oard; August 21, 2019 Management Presentation; December 13, 2019 Letter to Our Board; August 18, 2020 Letter to Our Board; Se pte mber 18, 2020 Letter to Our Board; October 2020 13D Monitor Conference Presentation; February 25, 2021 Letter to Stockholders; Apr il 15, 2021 Letter to Stockholders; and May 3, 2021 Letter to Stockholders. 2 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation at 23.

70 Hardware Authentication Remains an Important Option for Advanced Security 1 Source: c|net article March 15, 2021 “ Twitter locks down with better hardware security key option ”; c|net article July 23, 2018: “ A physical key is the secret to Google employees’ online security ”; Link to Intel article: “ Doing The Security Two Step ” “Hackers are learning the two - step, but they struggle to crack hardware Many enterprises have already transitioned to a two - step authentication process in response to this growing issue. That’s certainly a smart move, but even the best two - step authentication protocols can be vulnerable when they rely on software alone.” July 23, 2018 “A physical key is the secret to Google employees' online security The company says none of its 85,000 employees have been phished since it adopted the keys. It turns out the key to counteracting employee phishing at Google is an actual key.” March 15, 2021 “Twitter locks down logon with better hardware security key optio n Security keys are tops for keeping hackers out of your account and thwarting phishing attacks. Twitter has taken a significant step in helping you protect your account with hardware security keys, a top authentication technique when it comes to security.” Leading technology companies like Twitter, Google and Intel are turning to hardware authentication as part of their multifactor authentication methods to ensure increased network security

 
 

71 • How will we maintain OneSpan’s status as an approved vendor at top financial institutions if we sell the hardware component of our authentication business or our economic rights to it? • A new approval process requires an extensive security audit process and the negotiation of a master services agreement, among many other factors Legion’s Idea to Sell Hardware Leaves Critical Questions Unanswered If we exit the hardware component of our authentication business, how do we continue to serve, and expand our relationships with, our existing customers? Today, we have an authentication server on premises at many of our customers that drives both hardware and mobile authentication OneSpan’s trusted position – working behind the bank’s firewall and on its network – gives us an important credential If the hardware component of our authentication business is sold to a third party: • Who provides maintenance and service on the authentication server, an important part of OneSpan’s recurring revenue? • Who is responsible in the event of a security breach?

 
 

72 Legion’s Rationale for Selling Hardware Authentication Was Misguided Selling the hardware component of our authentication business would immediately transform OneSpan into a pure play software company and likely “rerate” OneSpan’s stock price closer to peer levels • First and foremost, we need a sustainable and durable business; 19 of our top 20 customers today use our hardware tokens • If we offered only software - based authentication solutions, our opportunities for maintenance revenue on our server software and our upsell opportunities with existing customers would be diminished, lowering our overall prospects • Our valuation multiples have expanded (and will likely continue to do so) as our product mix continues to shift Mixing Hardware and Software in GAAP financials is confusing to investors and likely dissuades them from buying the stock • Investors are capable of valuing companies that have revenue sources with different growth/margin profiles • Sell - side analysts are comfortable using our disclosures to arrive at a sum - of - the - parts valuation • Even after three years and dozens of meetings, Legion continues to misunderstand our business: our hardware authentication product line is not a separate functioning and reporting segment, or business, nor do we intend for it to be viewed as such The hardware component of our authentication business is lower - margin and has a negative impact on the Company’s overall growth rate and gross margin structure • The hardware component of our authentication business remains an important part of our portfolio of solutions • Investors can value our software and recurring revenue differently than hardware, if they choose to do so • We expect our gross margins will continue to expand over time as we transition to more software and services revenue • The hardware component of our authentication business is very profitable at the operating income level Legion’s Reason for Selling Hardware OneSpan’s Response Legion’s demand that we sell the hardware component of our authentication business is based on spreadsheet - driven math rather than the complex aspects of managing a business transformation while providing customers with solutions that they require

 
 

73 Hardware Is Not a “Structural Impediment” to a Fair Valuation 80% 20% 73% 27% 74% 26% “Our bull case valuation is supported by SOTP analysis…” Morgan Stanley Research Note, August 1, 2018 “Piper Jaffray analyst James Fish … notes … his sum - of - the - parts valuation exercise on the company's various product lines and segments gives him a base case valuation of $57 per share.” 2 “Our SOTP based [price target] assumes 7.0x FY22e Core EBITDA of $7.4B…” Morgan Stanley Research Note, August 20, 2020 31% 69% “Additional transparency on FCF further bolsters our confidence in our SoTP valuation methodology.” Morgan Stanley Research Note, February 23, 2021 Many Other Companies, Including in the Cybersecurity Space, Have Both Hardware and Software - Based Businesses Hardware/Product Revenue 1 Software/Services Revenue 1 Investors understand how to value much more complex companies with both hardware and software businesses 1 Source: Company filings. 2 Source: TheFly.com , August 20, 2019.

 
 

74 Legion’s Claim That Investors Can’t Value OneSpan Is Contradicted By Its Own Work • Legion easily performs a SOTP valuation on OneSpan using our current disclosures • Other market participants, including sell - side analysts, also regularly calculate a SOTP as a component of their valuation methods for OneSpan – Sidoti , BTIG and Colliers all use a SOTP valuation analysis • We don’t understand why Legion is implying that it alone is capable of performing a SOTP analysis and that other investors are not sophisticated enough to perform such an analysis Source: Legion’s presentations to OneSpan management on ¹ June 14, 2018 and ² August 21, 2019; ³ L egion letter to OneSpan’s Board of Directors August 18, 2020; ⁴ S idoti research note April 15, 2021; ⁵ Colliers research note May 5, 2021. Despite Legion’s claim that investors find it difficult to apply a sum - of - the - parts (SOTP) analysis to OneSpan, Legion’s own presentations demonstrate that the math is not complicated 1 2 3 4 5

 
 

75 Divesting the Hardware Part of Our Authentication Business Is Not Optimal at This Time Source: Legion’s Letter to Stockholders, February 25, 2021. • Other investors and sell - side analysts are able to value OneSpan without difficulty today • As we continue to execute our transformation to a cloud - centric business, hardware will become an increasingly smaller portion of our total revenue (although we expect it to remain an important part of our business and cash flow for the foreseeable fut ure ) Today, our global customers require a complete hardware and software - based authentication solution ; in certain regions of the world, hardware - based authentication continues to be the preferred approach to banking Hardware authentication remains an important option for advanced security at major tech companies; private banking groups in Europe are using hardware - based authentication as an important added layer of security Our established presence in many hardware - only clients gives us a competitive advantage as an approved supplier for other critical security solutions, a process that can otherwise take years to achieve We expect hardware to be an important part of our proprietary product offering as we expand into adjacent markets with a primary focus on healthcare and government verticals Our hardware and software authentication solutions are not as easy to separate as Legion proposes We have thoughtfully considered how we might divest the hardware component of our authentication business; server software maintenance and customer support issues are complex and would create friction with customers It is unnecessary to sell the hardware component of our authentication business in order for the market to “rerate” our stock, as Legion suggests

77 • OneSpan has engaged constructively with Legion since April 2018, even before Legion disclosed any ownership of OneSpan’s stock • Our Board and management have carefully considered and adopted Legion’s recommendations that have made sense and at the times when they have made sense • Our Board has regularly invited Legion to be a part of its ongoing Board refreshment process – Our Board has seriously considered all candidates Legion has suggested since 2018 including by having certain directors trav el to California to interview some of Legion’s candidates – Legion’s candidates have been either unwilling to serve, surprised by the workload of serving on a public company board or ha d l ess relevant experience than the directors we have recruited to join our Board • Legion has not permitted our Board to interview Legion’s current nominees Legion’s Proxy Contest Is Unnecessary Despite this, Legion is pressing forward with its costly and disruptive proxy contest

 
 

78 We Have Been Responsive to Legion’s Calls for Board Change June 2018 “New perspectives [are] important given [the Company’s] recent transition.” 1 • Since Legion’s initial presentation to OneSpan management, the Company has added 6 new directors 2 • Two longer - tenured directors have stepped down from the Board during this time, including the company’s founder, largest shareholder and former CEO • Only three of our nine nominees served on our Board in June 2018 August 2019 “Not a single incumbent director… has operational or Board experience at a modern public enterprise software/security company …” 3 • The Board appointed two new directors in March 2020, as part of our Board’s planned transition: - Naureen Hassan , former Chief Digital Officer at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management 2 - Marianne Johnson , EVP and Chief Product Officer of Cox Automotive, which provides cloud - based software to the automotive industry • Legion was given the opportunity to interview both Ms. Hassan and Ms. Johnson and expressed support for these two directors , stating they would “truly enable [Scott Clements] and his team to achieve the success they deserve while operating as a public company” August 2020 “…[W]e believe it is time to replace [Ken Hunt] and other long tenured directors…” 4 • Ken Hunt retired from the Board in September 2020, as part of our Board’s planned transition , which had previously led to a new lead independent director in 2018 and a new independent Chair in 2019 • In the press release announcing Mr. Hunt’s retirement, the Company emphasized that the recent Board refreshment also prepares the Board for the future retirement of long - tenured directors September 2020 “We would like to recommend the appointment of Legion Partners’ Senior Analyst, Sagar Gupta, to the Board. We believe his appointment, along with two new independent directors possessing modern software industry experience , would be well - received by your investor base.” 5 • As part of our Board’s planned transition, the Board recruited two new independent directors with extensive modern software industry experience, including a “financial expert” director able to Chair the Audit Committee • Alfred Nietzel , former CFO of CDK Global, a leading provider of software and IT solutions for the automotive industry, joined the Board in November 2020; Mr. Nietzel also serves on the board of global cloud software company Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC) • The Board appointed Garry Capers , Division President, Cloud Solutions at Deluxe Corp., in April 2021; Mr. Capers brings direct cloud - based SaaS experience in the financial industry “BARNHILL ERA” LEGACY ISSUES NEW DIRECTION Legion’s Perspective on Board Composition OneSpan’s Response 1 Legion’s Presentation to OneSpan Management, June 14, 2018. 2 Naureen Hassan resigned from the Board effective March 1, 2021 to pursue a position in the public sector that did not permit her to s er ve on a public company board. 3 Legion’s Presentation to OneSpan Management, August 21, 2019. 4 Legion’s Letter to Stockholders, August 18, 2020. 5 Legion’s Letter to the Board of Directors, September 18, 2020.

88 Legion’s Nominees Are Not Additive to Our Board • Mr. Gupta is a 33 - year - old career hedge fund analyst who, as far as we know, has never operated a business of any kind • We have engaged with Mr. Gupta directly on many occasions; he still does not understand fundamental aspects of our business • What functional skills does Mr. Gupta bring to the Board that our nominees do not already possess? • Why does Mr. Gupta need a Board seat when we have demonstrated our willingness to work with Mr. Gupta and Legion for the past three years? • Mr. McConnell has longstanding ties to Legion’s principals dating back to their employment together at Shamrock Activist Value Fund and has served as a Legion nominee or appointee on at least two other occasions • Apart from being a serial activist nominee, Mr. McConnell’s most notable public company experience came as CEO of a company that certifies collectibles, such as baseball cards • Can Mr. McConnell be truly independent of Legion when he is a former colleague and has been nominated by Legion at two other companies? • The Board interviewed Ms. Garg in 2019 and compared her skills and experience with other software and technology executives also under consideration.

Sagar Gupta Michael McConnell Sarika Garg Rinki Sethi Concerns/Reasons for Rejection Key Questions

 
 

89 Legion’s Nominations Are Inconsistent With Legion’s Stated Goals “…[W]e strongly believe the lack of… a shareholder friendly perspective on the Board has contributed to the Company’s unacceptable valuation disconnect as well as the lack of meaningful action to address the underlying drivers.” 1 • In August 2020, Legion demanded that Ken Hunt, our largest shareholder at the time owning approximately 16% of our outstanding shares, “resign from the Board immediately” • Though Legion itself is a significant shareholder, Mr. Gupta is not a partner in Legion’s fund and therefore is not as economically aligned with shareholders as Legion suggests • Legion’s campaign seeks to remove two of the three largest shareholders among the Company’s 2021 nominees “Without having… M&A specialists on the Board to oversee critical due diligence on any potential target, stockholders may fall victim to this Board’s poor judgment on another acquisition.” 2 • While Legion purports to desire M&A experience, the election of their slate would result in the Board losing substantial M&A expertise • None of Legion’s nominees appear to have extensive M&A experience • Legion is seeking to replace Marc Zenner , the former Global Co - Head of J.P. Morgan’s Corporate Finance Advisory practice who had a 20 - year career advising public companies on mergers and acquisitions strategy; he has advised on dozens of large - scale mergers and divestitures • Legion is also seeking to remove John Fox , the former Vice Chair of Deloitte and the Global Director of Deloitte Consulting, where, over the course of a 34 - year career, he advised dozens of global organizations on merger integration and organizational change “We believe it would be prudent to install Board members with experience in cloud - first recurring revenue environments…” 2 • Only one of Legion’s candidates, Sarika Garg, appears to have any managerial or executive leadership experience with a cloud - based business that sells to enterprise customers • Legion is seeking to replace both Matthew Moog and Jean Holley , both of whom are seasoned technology executives with extensive software and cloud experience Legion’s Stated Goal / Concern Inconsistency 1 Source: Legion’s Letter to OneSpan’s Board of Directors, June 14, 2019. 2 Legion’s Letter to Stockholders, April 15, 2021.

 
 

90 Legion’s Aggressive Personal Attacks Are Littered With Misleading Claims • “John Fox possesses no modern technology experience” 1 • “[I]t is unsurprising that as Chair of the Compensation Committee for 15 years, OneSpan’s executive compensation programs remain antiquated” 1 • Mr. Fox spent his career helping to transform large - scale multinational corporations while at Deloitte Consulting • He currently serves on the Board of Directors of Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH), a $40 billion market cap technology consulting company operating in Financial Services and Health Care, two extremely relevant customer segments for OneSpan • Mr. Fox has been instrumental in restructuring OneSpan’s incentive compensation plans to prioritize software/SaaS metrics and shareholder returns as the Company’s transition has taken shape • “It appears that Director Jean Holley ‘resigned’ or was terminated from three of her last four full - time positions” 1 • “[Marianne Johnson is] connected to Jean Holley through ‘the Atlanta tech community’” 1 • “[W]e do not believe Ms. Holley possesses modern technology experience relevant to OSPN” 1 • Ms. Holley retired from Brambles Ltd. in July 2017 – after being named “CIO of the Year” in 2016 – in order to undergo chemotherapy treatment and to focus on her recovery from cancer; she was instrumental in training her successor in that role • When Ms. Holley left USG and Tellabs, she did so because she was recruited for another opportunity by an executive search firm – not, as Legion irresponsibly speculates, because she was terminated • Ms. Holley and Ms. Johnson belong to Women in Technology, as do many female business leaders in Atlanta; the organization seeks increased female representation in STEM fields; the two had never met before Ms. Johnson was recruited for the OneSpan Board • Legion conveniently ignores the fact that, while at Brambles, Ms. Holley helped launch a business unit which leveraged IoT devices (i.e., hardware with embedded software, similar to OneSpan’s authentication solutions) to track logistics data using cloud - based applications John Fox Jean Holley Legion’s Misleading Claims OneSpan’s Responses 1 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation.

 
 

91 Legion’s Aggressive Personal Attacks Are Littered With Misleading Claims • “Matthew Moog lacks scaled, public tech experience” 1 • “The Board lacks pertinent capital allocation expertise… Matthew Moog, member of the Finance & Strategy Committee, [is] not the answer” 1 • Mr. Moog founded three fast - growing cloud - based recurring revenue companies with thousands of customers, hundreds of employees and hundreds of millions of dollars in capital raised from leading private equity and venture capital firms and the public markets • PowerReviews has more than 1,000 recurring revenue SaaS customers including Walmart, Target, Gap and many of the other largest brands and retailers in the world • Unlike three of Legion’s four nominees – who have never had capital allocation responsibility at a public company of any kind – Mr. Moog has served as the CEO of a publicly traded internet company, in addition to serving as the CEO of a private SaaS company • “[W]e believe [Dr. Zenner] lacks experience working with public technology companies” 1 • “ OneSpan’s balance sheet is not complicated… [W]e are unsure as to how [Dr. Zenner’s] ‘capital structure’ expertise is particularly relevant to OneSpan’s situation” 1 • During his nearly two - decade career as an investment banker , Dr. Zenner advised some of the largest software and technology companies in the world – including Apple, Dell, Intel and Microsoft (each of which also have both hardware - and software/services - based revenue) – on capital allocation and capital structure, credit ratings, dividend policy and other capital markets matters; Dr. Zenner also serves as an advisor to three software/SaaS start - ups • OneSpan’s capital structure is “not complicated” by design; Dr. Zenner’s expertise enables him to advise on capital allocation that nevertheless affects OneSpan, including optimal cash deployment, share repurchases and acquisitions and divestitures • A different activist investor (Engaged Capital) negotiated to have Dr. Zenner placed on the board of one if its portfolio companies in recognition of Dr. Zenner’s expertise and independence Matthew Moog Marc Zenner Legion’s Misleading Claims OneSpan’s Responses 1 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation.

 
 

92 Legion’s Claims About Our Board’s Actions and Responsiveness Are Wrong “We have watched the Board consistently dismiss several ideas to unlock stockholder value…” 1 • We have welcomed Legion’s input, been responsive and adopted many of Legion’s suggestions, including by enhancing our financial disclosures and strengthening our Board with the addition of directors with skills and experiences as suggested by Legion • We have not adopted Legion’s suggestions that, in our judgment, would be detrimental to shareholders, such as Legion’s idea to sell the hardware component of our authentication business “…[W]e have also been informed that the Board has ignored inbound expressions of interest from parties exploring a strategic transaction.” 1 • This is simply untrue • The Company engaged a financial advisor to evaluate strategic alternatives OneSpan’s executive team and Board only act when prompted by Legion • This is demonstrably false • OneSpan began to diversify away from its authentication business through M&A and R&D long before Legion bought any stock • Throughout the last three years, OneSpan has proactively made myriad changes to its business model, product mix, staffing, systems, pricing, disclosures, Board and other key business operations Legion’s Misleading Claim OneSpan’s Response 1 Legion Partners Letter to Stockholders, April 15, 2021.

 
 

93 • OneSpan has repeatedly explained to Legion that the hardware component of our authentication business is a piece of a solutions set; it is not a separate “business,” and it is not a separate “segment” – Frequently, our authentication customer purchases hardware, mobile authentication software and server software/cloud solution s; in addition, each end point typically requires a software/user license for the server software • We have regularly disclosed the revenue attributed to hardware sales in our authentication business • Legion’s demand for a “segment” P&L or operating margins for the “hardware business” does not match the way we sell or account for costs and would be unduly burdensome and subject to cost accounting and other assumptions that complicate the exercise • For GAAP purposes, OneSpan only has one segment We Don’t “Segment Report” Hardware Because It Is Not a Segment Legion complains that there is “…a refusal to provide segment - level financials” Source: Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation.

 
 

94 Legion’s Investor Presentation Is Misleading Legion claims that “utilizing the average [of peer company TSR] is a widely accepted practice.” 1 • ISS typically uses medians for peer group TSR calculations • Legion itself used medians for TSR calculations in a prior activist campaign (e.g., in its investor presentation for RCM in 2013) 2 • Legion is seeking to use “average” so it can “average” the anomalous returns of a few companies (e.g., +640%, +999%, +522%) among the peers to claim OneSpan has underperformed • Legion readily used a median calculation when it was better than an “average” in making its argument on G&A margins in its same Investor Presentation 3 “The Company recently filed a $300mm shelf registration – is there another deal on the horizon?” 4 • The shelf registration was not filed “recently” – it was filed in October 2019 • We have explained to Legion many times that our filing of a shelf registration was simply “good housekeeping” OneSpan should not have pulled guidance in Q2 2020, misunderstood its own business at that time and made matters worse in its Q3 2020 earnings call • The world was in the middle of the COVID - 19 pandemic at the time of these calls • OneSpan, like hundreds of other public companies, pulled its annual guidance because it was uncertain how the pandemic would impact its business and how long the disruption would last • The fact that OneSpan was able to continue to grow its ARR should be lauded; the fact that OneSpan was unable to guide or predict that growth with certainty is unremarkable given global conditions at that time Legion’s Misleading Claim OneSpan’s Response 1 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation at page 42. 2 Legion Partners Investor Presentation to RCM Shareholders at page 13 (11/11/2013). 3 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation at pages 22, 91. 4 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation at page 21.

 
 

95 Legion’s Investor Presentation Is Misleading OneSpan should be valued 75% higher and would be if only the Company would disclose more information about the hardware component of its authentication business • Legion arrives at this conclusion by averaging the ARR multiples of companies that are very different from OneSpan: all but one of them derive nearly all their ARR from subscription revenue whereas most of our ARR is from maintenance revenue and term licenses, which are valued differently in the market • Legion’s math also requires assumptions about the value of our perpetual licenses and hardware revenue, with which the market may not agree • Legion is apparently the only capital markets participant who believes our valuation gap is this wide, or many new investors would buy our stock OneSpan has misallocated capital • OneSpan has completely self - funded its transformation from a traditional, hardware - centric technology company to a Trusted Identity solutions company, without levering the balance sheet or raising equity • Legion at one time suggested a massive buyback, which would have jeopardized the Company’s development and flexibility; Legion has since dropped its advocacy for this, like so many of its other suggestions OneSpan’s Board refreshment has not followed a good process • OneSpan has used multiple recruiting firms and reviewed dozens of candidates in recruiting new directors added to our Board since June 2019 Legion’s Misleading Claim OneSpan’s Response

 
 

96 Legion’s Public Letters and Presentations Show Our Progress Legion’s August 18, 2020 Letter Legion’s Investor Presentation May 17, 2021 1 1 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation at page 45. Legion’s own analysis repeatedly shows OneSpan’s significant progress in achieving market recognition in the valuation for ARR and software revenue growth Change in EV / ARR over 9 months (moving up from 3.5x to 6.6x) even as the market average declined suggests significant progress by OneSpan at achieving more recognition by shareholders

 
 

Conclusion

 
 

98 What Is Legion’s Proxy Contest About? After years of constructive engagement between OneSpan and Legion, during which OneSpan evaluated all of Legion’s suggestions (and adopted many of them), is Legion now entitled to replace half of OneSpan’s independent directors (even though it has offered virtually no new strategy or operational ideas) just because Legion remains frustrated that the market does not value OneSpan the way Legion believes it should?

100 Legion’s “Big Ideas” Over the Last Year: Where Are We Now? • “Immediately pursue a divestiture” of the eSignature business Ran a full strategic sale process with an investment bank; bids were inadequate • No further mention of this idea • Effectively: “Never mind” • “Initiate a strategic review of the Hardware segment in an effort to sell the segment.” Explained that the hardware component of our authentication business is not a separate segment, cannot be easily separated and is strategically valuable • No further mention of this idea (other than f alsely claiming that OneSpan misunderstood) • Effectively: “Never mind” • Add cloud - first executives to the Board Added a diverse, cloud - business P&L executive whose products serve our same end markets as the fourth new cloud executive added to our Board in two years • Claims our newest director works for a company that has been in business too long • Nominated three non - cloud executives (and just one cloud executive) for our Board • Make additional disclosures to “fix the stock” and ease sum - of - the - parts analysis Significant increases in disclosure as the business evolved and matured, consistent with the way our businesses are managed and operated • Wants “segment - level” financials for parts of a solution that are not segments and have no separate financials Legion’s “Big Idea” 1 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation. OneSpan’s Response Legion’s May 2021 Perspective 1 The only strategy or operational idea that is older than one month that Legion has not yet abandoned is its call for more “segment” disclosures

 
 

101 Shareholders Should Support the Company’s Nominees  The Board and management team devised a new strategy to extend OneSpan into additional trusted identity and security services over time  OneSpan used (and continues to use) its market position in multi - factor authentication to grow its business  The Company has succeeded in developing recurring revenue, high - margin solutions and cross - selling those solutions into its customer base  As reported in the Q1 2021 earnings call, ARR and Gross Margins have been healthy and are expected to continue to grow  The move from hardware and services to increased software content and now cloud - based software has been complex and not perfectly smooth, but OneSpan is ahead of schedule on its transformation plan  We have actively engaged with Legion over three years in more than 40 meetings and calls  We have adopted many of Legion’s suggestions, as and when appropriate to our evolving business  Legion has shifted its demands over time, making Legion impossible to please; it is unclear what concrete strategy or operational changes Legion now wants – it just claims the Board should “fix the stock” 1  We do not believe selling hardware authentication is in the best interest of shareholders, who can value the Company even though we sell both hardware and software authentication solutions and other security solutions  Despite Legion’s historically M&A - oriented demands, Legion wants to replace two seasoned M&A experts on our Board  Any value Legion’s nominees would bring to our Board would be outweighed by the loss of skills and experience of our Board’s nominees  Our Board has been substantially refreshed as our business has migrated to more services and software  Five of our eight independent nominees have joined our Board in the last two years  New directors have significant experience in software, cloud - based models, strategy and M&A  Our Board has considered strategic alternatives and recently concluded a process to review its eSignature product line  Our focus on aligning executive compensation with the interests of our shareholders and on governance issues is evident from our policies, disclosures and outcomes OneSpan Has Undergone a Deliberate Transformation Legion’s Campaign is Unnecessary and Unfortunate Our Board and Management Team Are Well Composed to Continue to Oversee OneSpan 1 Legion’s May 17, 2021 Investor Presentation at page 47

Following the interview process, Legion sent an email to OneSpan noting that (one of OneSpan’s candidates) Ms. Hassan’s “back gro und in the financial services sector is arguably the best out of all the candidates.

108 Nutanix, Radware , Cisco and Palo Alto Networks are all publicly traded technology companies that have been transitioning their businesses awa y f rom hardware - focused products towards software and services. We believe that the transitions that this select group of companies ha ve undertaken are similar to the transformation that OneSpan has been undergoing over the past several years, and thus represent reasonable “case studi es” for purposes of comparison. Explanation of “Transformation Peer” Selection for Slide 42 Nutanix The company’s Q1 2018 earnings release from November 30, 2017 notes the company’s “shift toward [a] software - centric business model.” Therefore, we use November 30, 2017 as the approximate start date. The company’s Q2 2021 earnings script from February 25, 2021 notes that the company “continued to make progress on [its] transition to subscription.” Therefore, we assume that the transition is still underway and use the present day (April 30, 2021) as the approximate end date. Radware An article from Jaguar Analytics suggests that the company’s transition commenced in 2016. Therefore, we use January 1, 2016 as the approximate start date. In its Q4 2020 earnings call script from February 2021, the company noted an “acceleration in the digital transformation of leading enterprises that drove growth in [its] cloud and subscription businesses.” Therefore, we assume that the transition is still underway and use the present day (April 30, 2021) as the approximate end date. Cisco The company’s Q4 2015 earnings release marks an early reference to the company’s transition to “a more predictable software - based business model.” Therefore, we assume that the transition began in 2015 and use January 1, 2015 as the approximate start date. In its Q2 2021 earnings script from February 2021, the company notes that it is “driving the continued shift to more software and subscriptions.” Therefore, we assume that the transition is still underway and use the present day (April 30, 2021) as the approximate end date. Palo Alto Networks At a conference in June 2017, the company announced its “Application Framework” initiative, which enabled cloud - delivered security services. Therefore, we use the date of that announcement, June 13, 2017, as the approximate start date. The company notes in a presentation from February 2021 that “Our hardware network security transformation continues.” Therefore, we assume that the transition is still underway and use the present day (April 30, 2021) as the approximate end date.

 
 

109 Reconciliation of 2020 Adjusted EBITDA to 2020 GAAP Net Income (Loss) Non - GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation We report financial results in accordance with GAAP. We also evaluate our performance using certain non - GAAP operating metrics, namely Adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes that this measure provides useful supplemental information regarding the performance of our business and facilitates a comparison to our historical oper ati ng results. This non - GAAP financial measure is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative or substitute for the most directly comparable financial mea sure calculated in accordance with GAAP. While we believe that this non - GAAP financial measure is useful within the context described below, it is incomplete and is not a measure that should be used to eva luate our full performance or our prospects. Such an evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results a nd how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business and how taxes affect the final amounts that are or will be available to stockholders as a return on their investment. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long - term incentive compensation and certain non - recurring items, including acquisition - related costs, lease exit costs, rebranding costs and accruals for legal contingencies. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a simplified measure of performance for comm uni cating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a view of our operating res ult s that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long - term incentive compensation and certain non - recurring items, we are able to evaluate per formance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers’ requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation, amortization, long - term incentive compensation, lease exit costs and reversal of a prior period legal contingency accrual), deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest, acquisition - related costs and rebranding costs) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). Similarly, we find that our comparison of our results to those of our competitors is facilitated when we do not consider the impact of these items. Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020 Net income (loss) $ (5,455) Interest income, net (404) Provision for income taxes 2,035 Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets 12,003 Long - term incentive compensation 6,001 Non - recurring items — Adjusted EBITDA $ 14,180
