Clawback Policy
On March 26, 2025, the Board adopted the Satellogic Inc. Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”). which policy describes the circumstances in which Executive Officers (as defined in the Clawback Policy) will be required to repay or return Erroneously Awarded Compensation (as defined in the Clawback Policy) to the Company. The Clawback Policy provides for the recovery of certain incentive-based compensation from current and former Executive Officers of the Company in the event the Company is required to restate any of its financial statements filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act in order to correct an error that (i) is material to the previously-issued financial statements, or (ii) would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. Adoption of the Clawback Policy was mandated by new Nasdaq listing standards introduced pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10D-1. The Clawback Policy is in addition to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which permits the SEC to order the disgorgement of bonuses and incentive-based compensation earned by a registrant issuer’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer in the year following the filing of any financial statement that the issuer is required to restate because of misconduct, and the reimbursement of those funds to the issuer. A copy of the Clawback Policy has been filed herewith as Exhibit 97.1.
Compensation-Related Risk
The Board is responsible for the oversight of our risk profile, including compensation-related risks. Our Compensation Committee monitors our compensation policies and practices as applied to our employees to ensure that these policies and practices do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk-taking. Our management, together with the Compensation Committee, reviews of our compensation programs, including our executive compensation program, to determine if such programs create risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Based on this review, the Board believes that the level of risk associated with our compensation programs is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company.
Policies and Practices Related to the Timing of Equity Awards
Pursuant to our compensation programs, we may grant stock option awards to certain employees from time to time. We have not adopted a formal policy regarding the timing of equity award grants, including stock option grants. However, the Compensation Committee generally approves equity award grants during a regularly scheduled meeting in the second quarter of the fiscal year. On occasion, the Compensation Committee may grant equity awards outside of our annual grant cycle for new hires, promotions, recognition, retention or other purposes. While the Compensation Committee has discretionary authority to grant equity awards to our NEOs outside of the cycle described above, the Compensation Committee does not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information, nor is the timing of disclosures of material nonpublic information based on equity grant dates.
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy applicable to our directors, officers, and employees, and have implemented processes for the Company that we believe are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations, and the Nasdaq listing standards. Our Insider Trading Compliance Policy prohibits our employees and related persons and entities from trading in securities of the Company and other companies while in possession of material, nonpublic information. Our Insider Trading Compliance Policy also prohibits our employees from disclosing material, nonpublic information of the Company, or another publicly traded company, to others who may trade on the basis of that information. Additionally, directors and certain officers and employees are subject to routine and non-routine blackout periods during which times trading in our securities is not permitted, as well as pre-clearance procedures to ensure compliance with applicable internal policies. The foregoing summary of our Insider Trading Compliance Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to our Insider Trading Compliance Policy, a copy of which can be found as Exhibit 19 to this Report.
