Phunware, Inc.

Important risk factors that could affect our operations and financial performance, or that could cause results or events to differ from current expectations, are described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the information set forth below or contained elsewhere in this Report. The risks and uncertainties described within our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and set forth below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business or results of operations.

Our future performance will depend on the successful transition of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

On July 13, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company terminated Stephen Chen's at-will employment as Interim Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Chen's employment agreement dated October 22, 2024, his termination as Interim Chief Executive Officer also constituted a termination from all positions that Mr. Chen held as a member of the Board and any committee thereof, effective as of the same date. On July 14, 2025, Jeremy Krol, who was then serving as Chief Operating Officer of the Company, was appointed to replace Stephen Chen as the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer. If we are unable to execute a timely and orderly transition and successfully integrate the Interim Chief Executive Officer into our leadership team, our revenue, operating results and financial condition may be adversely impacted.

Our future performance also will continue to depend on the services and contributions of our other senior management and key employees and their abilities to execute on our business plan and strategy and to identify and pursue new opportunities and innovations for our products and services. These interim chief executive changes, and any future changes in our senior management team could be disruptive to our operations. Further, if our Interim Chief Executive Officer formulates different or changed views, our future business plans and strategies may differ materially from those pursued in the past.
