SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “expect” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K include, but are not limited to, statements regarding:

our ability to expand our services and offerings to customers both domestically and internationally;

our ability to expand within our current customer base;

our expectations about market trends and needs;

the performance and capabilities of our next generation satellites (“Gen-3”) and related ground systems;

our ability to add new satellites and sensors to our commercial operations;

our ability to compete with legacy satellite imaging providers and other emergent geospatial intelligence providers;

our ability to expand our product capabilities;

the performance of our BlackSky Spectra® software platform;

our ability to invest in our software, research, and development capabilities;

our ability to integrate proprietary and third-party sensor data;

our ability to continue delivering data in a cost-effective manner;

our ability to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our business;

our ability to maintain and protect our brand;

our ability to retain or recruit key employees;

our ability to maintain intellectual property protection for our products or avoid or defend claims of infringement;

our anticipated capital expenditures, liquidity, and our estimates regarding our capital requirements;

our estimates of market growth, future revenue, expenses, cash flows, capital requirements, and additional financing;

our ability to manage the timing of capital expenditures to allow for additional flexibility to optimize our long-term liquidity requirements;

our ability to optimize our cash spend to meet short- and long-term operational needs;

the volatility of the trading price of our Class A common stock;

the impact of local, regional, national, and international economic conditions and events; and

other factors including but not limited to those detailed under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and trends discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, except as required by law.
