INTRODUCTORY NOTE

On September 9, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), BlackSky Technology Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), f/k/a Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. (“Osprey”), consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 17, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Osprey, Osprey Technology Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Osprey (“Merger Sub”), and BlackSky Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy BlackSky”) following the approval at a special meeting of the stockholders of Osprey held on September 8, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between Osprey and Legacy BlackSky was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy BlackSky, with Legacy BlackSky surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osprey (together with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “merger”). On the Closing Date, the registrant changed its name from “Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp.” to “BlackSky Technology Inc.”

At the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Legacy BlackSky capital stock (other than shares of Legacy BlackSky Class B common stock, treasury shares and shares with respect to which appraisal rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware were properly exercised and not withdrawn) was converted into a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) based on an exchange ratio equal to 0.0912 (the “Per Share Exchange Ratio”) and each outstanding Legacy BlackSky restricted stock unit, option and warrant was converted into a Company restricted stock unit, option or warrant based on the Per Share Exchange Ratio applicable to shares of Legacy BlackSky Class A common stock. All 7,906,250 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”) was converted, on a one-for-one basis, into an equivalent number of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the merger.

No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock were issued upon the exchange of Legacy BlackSky preferred stock or Legacy BlackSky common stock. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional shares, the Company has agreed to pay to each former holder of Legacy BlackSky Class A common stock, preferred stock or convertible notes who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash, without interest, rounded down to the nearest cent, equal to the product of (i) the amount of the fractional share interest in a share of Class A Common Stock to which such holder otherwise would have been entitled multiplied by (ii) the average of Class A Common Stock trading price over the 30-day period ending three days prior to consummation of the merger.

Effective as of the Effective Time and by virtue of the merger, each share of Legacy BlackSky Class B common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to $0.00001 per share.

Effective as of the Effective Time and by virtue of the merger, each option to purchase shares of Legacy BlackSky common stock (a “Legacy BlackSky Stock Option”) that was outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into an option to acquire a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Legacy BlackSky Class A common stock subject to the applicable Legacy BlackSky Stock Option and (y) the Per Share Exchange Ratio, and is subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Legacy BlackSky Stock Option (each an “Assumed Company Stock Option”). The exercise price per share of each Assumed Company Stock Option is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per share applicable to such Legacy BlackSky Stock Option by (y) the Per Share Exchange Ratio.

Effective as of the Effective Time and by virtue of the merger, each restricted stock unit of Legacy BlackSky (a “Legacy BlackSky RSU Award”) that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into an award of Company restricted stock units covering a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Legacy BlackSky common stock subject to the applicable Legacy BlackSky RSU Award and (y) the Per Share Exchange Ratio, and is subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Legacy BlackSky RSU Award.

Each warrant exercisable for shares of Legacy BlackSky common stock and Legacy BlackSky preferred stock (each a “Legacy BlackSky Warrant”) that was outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time


was (i) automatically exercised in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time if such Legacy BlackSky Warrant provided that it would be automatically exercised in connection with the merger (an “Exercising Legacy BlackSky Warrant”), (ii) automatically terminated in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time if such Legacy BlackSky Warrant provided that it would be automatically terminated if not exercised prior to the Effective Time (a “Terminating Legacy BlackSky Warrant”) or (iii) assumed by the Company and converted into a warrant to acquire Class A Common Stock if the Legacy BlackSky Warrant was not a Terminating Legacy BlackSky Warrant or Exercising Legacy BlackSky Warrant.

As of the open of trading on September 10, 2021, the Class A Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise of $11.50 per share of the Company (the “Warrants”), formerly those of Osprey, began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “BKSY” and “BKSY.W”, respectively.

As used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, unless otherwise stated or the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms “Company,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the parent entity formerly named Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp., after giving effect to the merger, and as renamed BlackSky Technology Inc.

A description of the merger and the terms of the Merger Agreement are included in the definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 11, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”) in the sections entitled “Proposal No.1-The Business Combination Proposaland “The Merger Agreement.”

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company gave certain registration rights to the Third Party PIPE Investors with respect to their PIPE Shares. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements (as described below) with the Insider PIPE Investors providing for certain registration rights to the Insider PIPE Investors with respect to their PIPE Shares.

As part of the partnership, Palantir purchased from Osprey an aggregate of 800,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000 (the “Palantir Shares”) pursuant to a subscription agreement (the “Palantir Subscription Agreement”) that closed on September 13, 2021. Pursuant to the Palantir Subscription Agreement, Osprey gave certain registration rights to Palantir with respect to the Palantir Shares.

Also as previously disclosed in the September 1, 2021 Current Report on Form 8-K, the Legacy BlackSky and Palantir entered into a software subscription agreement (the “Palantir Master Subscription Agreement”) which grants Legacy BlackSky access to Palantir Foundry, an enterprise platform run by Palantir. Pursuant to the terms of the Palantir Master Subscription Agreement, in exchange for receipt of the Palantir products, Legacy BlackSky is required to pay fees to Palantir for an aggregate payment of $8,000,000.

Company Overview

We are a leading provider of real-time geospatial intelligence, imagery and related data analytic products and services and mission systems. We monitor activities and facilities worldwide by harnessing the world’s emerging sensor networks and leveraging our own satellite constellation. We process millions of observations from our constellation as well as a variety of space, IoT, and terrestrial based sensors and data feeds. Our on-demand constellation of satellites can image a location multiple times throughout the day. We monitor for pattern-of-life anomalies to produce alerts and enhance situational awareness. Our monitoring service is powered by cutting-edge compute techniques including machine learning and artificial intelligence. Our global monitoring solution is available via a simple subscription and requires no IT infrastructure or setup.

Our proprietary satellite constellation enables high-frequency observation of the Earth. Once our constellation is fully deployed with 30 satellites, we anticipate that we will be able to revisit targeted locations on Earth every 30 minutes achieving what we consider to be “real-time” Earth observation. The data we collect from our constellation and other sources populates a proprietary data repository through which our geospatial data and analytics platform derives unique insights and business observations that we deliver to our customers. The combination of our high-revisit small satellite constellation with our platform is disrupting the market for geospatial imagery and space-based data and analytics.


We generate revenue through services offerings — which consist of imagery services and data, software and analytics — and product offerings, which consist of engineering and integration.

Imagery services include imagery delivered from our satellites in orbit or obtained from third-party imagery providers and licensed to customers through our geospatial and data analytics platform.

Data, software and analytics include site monitoring and event monitoring services and associated data analytics to help customers interpret the proprietary data we collect as well as third party satellite and sensor data we incorporate into our products. In addition, we provide technology-enabled professional service solutions related to software development and integration, technical feasibility, and data management and analytics services, all designed to help improve the utilization of our core products and services.

Engineering and integration include services to the customers who are integrating our capabilities into their operations, who need our assistance on strategic research and development or who wish to obtain bespoke space capabilities.

At present, the majority of our revenue comes from our service offerings, and specifically professional services. Over time, we expect imagery services to be an increasing portion and the primary driver of revenue within this category.

We offer a variety of pricing and utilization options for our imagery and other service offerings, including subscriptions and transactional licenses. These varied options allow customers to utilize our services in a manner that best suits their needs. In addition, this structure allows the customer to prioritize their requirements such that at critical times they can satisfy their needs immediately at higher pricing rates and at other times allow for more economical utilization.

Our product offerings have historically been sold under fixed price contracts.

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of preferred equity and both convertible and long-term debt. From the date of our incorporation in 2014, we have raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $223.7 million of debt and $174.6 million of equity. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we incurred net losses from continuing operations of $203.7 million and $25.1 million, respectively, and used $21.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively, in cash to fund continuing operations. As of June 30, 2021, we had $31.9 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on hand to continue to fund operations. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we incurred net losses from continuing operations of $47.7 million and $59.9 million, respectively, and used $15.3 million and $33.1 million, respectively, in cash to fund continuing operations. As of December 31, 2020, we had $10.6 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on hand to continue to fund operations.

Comparability of Financial Information

The Company’s results of operations and statements of assets and liabilities may not be comparable between periods as a result of the merger.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in “Risk Factors.”

 

   

Expand and enhance our satellite network — As of June 30, 2021, we had six proprietary satellites in commercial operations. Our objective, barring adjustments to launch schedules subject to weather, COVID-19 restrictions and other unforeseen launch conditions, is to achieve a 14-smallsat constellation by the end of 2021, and further expand our constellation to 23 satellites by the end of 2023 and ultimately to a 30-satellite constellation by 2025. An expanded constellation will enable us to increase our revisit rate, the frequency with which we can image certain locations on the globe, which supports our strategy of providing earth observation and earth monitoring services to our customers. Our Gen-3 satellite is being designed to improve our imaging resolution to 50 cm and include short wave IR imaging technology for a broad set of imaging conditions, including nighttime, low-light and all-weather. Regulatory, licensing, natural disasters, epidemic outbreaks, terrorist acts and geopolitical events could affect our business and satellite launch schedules.


   

Expand and extend our geospatial and data analytics platform — We intend to continue to improve the capabilities of our platform, including our artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, to improve the speed and quality of the insights we provide to our customers. If the recommendations, forecasts, or analyses that artificial intelligence applications assist in producing are deficient or inaccurate, we could be subjected to competitive harm, potential legal liability, and brand or reputational harm.

 

   

Increase demand for our products and services — We plan to expand our sales and marketing efforts to increase demand for our products and services by existing and new customers. As our constellation grows and delivers additional imaging capacity and improved revisit performance, we expect to attract new customers and expect our existing customers to use our capabilities more, increasing their total spend with us. We have several current contracts with customers to provide imagery, data, software and analytics and engineering and integration products and services. Our customers and resellers have no obligation to renew, upgrade, or expand their contracts with us after the terms of their existing contracts have expired. In addition, many of our customer and reseller contracts permit the customer or reseller to terminate their contracts with us with notice periods of varying lengths. As a government contractor, we are also subject to federal funding cycles, including the possibility of budget stalemates.

 

   

Expand into commercial market sectors — Our current customer base, end market mix and pipeline are weighted towards U.S. and international defense and intelligence customers and markets. We believe there are significant opportunities and numerous use cases to extend our product and service offerings domestically and internationally to a wide variety of commercial market sectors including energy and utilities, insurance, mining and manufacturing, agriculture, environmental monitoring, disaster and risk management, and engineering and construction, among many others. As we expand into and within new and emerging markets and heavily regulated industry sectors, we will likely face additional regulatory scrutiny, risks, and burdens from the governments and agencies which regulate those markets and industries.

COVID-19

In December 2019, the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared a global emergency on January 30, 2020 with respect to the outbreak, and several countries have initiated travel restrictions, closed borders and given social distancing directives, including instructions requiring “shelter-in-place”. On January 31, 2020 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a national public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus. On March 11, 2020, WHO declared the outbreak of COVID-19, a disease caused by this novel coronavirus a pandemic. The disease continues to spread throughout the United States and other parts of the world and has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place” and quarantine restrictions. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, there has been a trend in many parts of the world of increasing availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel and government activities and functions. We have taken measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, work with our customers and suppliers to minimize disruptions and support our community in addressing the challenges posed by this ongoing global pandemic.


We are designated as an “essential critical infrastructure” for national security as defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and consistent with federal guidelines and with state and local orders to date, our business has continued to operate through the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we qualified for a Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loan for $3.6 million and through the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act we were able to defer the deposit and payment of Social Security taxes in the total amount of approximately $0.7 million.

The COVID-19 pandemic has generally disrupted the operations of our vendors, customers and prospective customers, and may continue to disrupt their operations, including as a result of travel restrictions and/or business shutdowns, uncertainty in the financial markets, or other harm to their business and financial results. This disruption could result in a reduction to information technology budgets, delayed purchasing decisions, longer sales cycles, extended payment terms, the timing of payments, and postponed or canceled projects, all of which could negatively impact our business and operating results, including sales and cash flows. The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our business to date and we do not expect the COVID-19 pandemic to have a material impact on our business going forward.

Components of Operating Results

Revenues

We have developed several services and products that leverage our proprietary constellation and satellite economics:

 

   

Service Revenues — Service revenues primarily consist of imagery and data, software, and analytics revenue.

 

   

Imagery — We offer our customers high-revisit, on-demand satellite imaging solutions. The combination of our proprietary satellite constellation, our virtual constellation, and our platform provides our customers with dawn-to-dusk autonomous tasking, processing and delivery.

 

   

Data, Software and Analytics — We leverage our proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyze data coming from both our proprietary sensor network and third party sources to provide difficult to access data, insights and analytics for our customers. We continue to integrate and enhance our products by performing contract development for customers while retaining product rights. We provide technology enabled professional service solutions to support customer-specific software development requests, integration, testing and training. We also provide systems engineering to support efforts to manage mass quantities of data. Our professional service solutions provide services related to object detection, site monitoring and enhanced analytics through which we can detect key objects in critical locations such as ports, airports, and construction sites; monitor changes at, damages to or other anomalies in key infrastructure; and analyze stockpiles or other critical inventory.

We expect continued service revenue growth in the year ending December 31, 2021 as a result of growth in satellite capacity and sales orders.

 

   

Product Revenues — Product revenues primarily consist of engineering and integration revenue.

 

   

Engineering and Integration —We develop and deliver advanced launch vehicle, satellite and payload systems for our customers that leverage our capabilities in mission systems engineering and operations, ground station operations, and software and systems development. These systems are typically sold to government customers under fixed price contracts.


We expect product revenue growth as we continue to deliver on contracts by engineering unique direct materials and striving toward critical design review.

Service and Product Costs

 

   

Service Costs

 

   

Service costs primarily include internal aerospace and geospatial software development labor, third-party data and imagery, internal labor to support the ground stations and space operations, and cloud computing and hosting services.

 

   

Product Costs

 

   

Product costs primarily include the cost of internal labor for product design, integration, and engineering in support of long-term development contracts for launch vehicle, satellite, and payload systems. We also incur subcontract direct materials and external labor costs to build and test specific components, such as the communications system, payload demands and sensor integration. Costs are expensed as incurred except for incremental costs to obtain or fulfill a contract, which are capitalized and amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods and services.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense

Selling, general, and administrative expense consists of product development costs, salaries and benefit costs, professional fees, and other expenses which includes other personnel related costs, stock-based compensation, expenses for executive management, and occupancy costs. We also incur internal labor costs to maintain our platform, through which the imagery is delivered, and to develop critical real-time software and geospatial analytic solutions for a variety of customers, solution enhancements, including mapping, analysis, site target monitoring, and news feeds. We expect our selling, general and administrative expense, which includes transaction, audit, legal, and insurance costs, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services, to increase as we expand our business, and operate as a public company.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense consists primarily of employees’ salaries, taxes and benefits costs incurred for data science modeling and algorithm development related to our platform, and to the design, development and testing of our Gen-3 satellites. We intend to continue to invest appropriate resources in research and development efforts, as we believe that investment is critical to maintaining our competitive position.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense is related to property and equipment which mainly consists of operational satellites. Amortization expense is related to intangible assets.

Satellite Impairment Loss

We recorded a satellite impairment loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to a Rocket Lab Electron rocket carrying two of our satellites suffering a failure during flight, resulting in the loss of both satellites on May 15, 2021. This resulted in an impairment loss of $18.4 million, the full carrying value of the satellites, recorded to earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2021. There were no satellite impairment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020.


Gain/(Loss) on Debt Extinguishment

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there was no gain or loss on extinguishment of debt. Gain on extinguishment of debt reported for the year ended December 31, 2020 is related to accrued interest that was forgiven in connection with the termination of a certain debt instruments. Loss on extinguishment of debt reported for the year ended December 31, 2019 is related to unamortized debt discount costs.

Unrealized (Loss)/Gain on Derivative

Gain or loss on derivatives reported for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are related to the fluctuation of fair value of outstanding warrants to purchase our Series B and C Preferred Stock at each reporting date, changes in our liability balance for warrants, and consent fees related to Intelsat and Seahawk secured term loan.

Gain/(Loss) on Equity Method Investment

Gain/(Loss) on equity method investment reflects the recognition of our proportional share of the net income or net losses of LeoStella LLC (“LeoStella”), in which we hold a 50% ownership interest, adjusted for any intercompany profit.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our outstanding borrowings under our loans from related parties, Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loan, line of credit, founders note and capital leases.

Other (Expense)/Income

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, other (expense)/income, net is primarily related to the initial fair value of the excess of the incentive equity, warrants and the initial fair value of debt over the subordinated, unsecured convertible promissory notes that were issued in February of 2021 and June 2021.

Service revenues

Service revenues increased approximately $3.4 million, or 43.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by an increase across all of our service offerings, primarily orders for our imagery and our data, software, and analytics services. Imagery revenues grew due to increased customer sales orders in 2021 versus 2020 given the expansion of our constellation and related imagery capacity and capabilities of our constellation. Data, software, and analytics services increased primarily due to the addition of contracts that were entered into during the latter half of 2020 and in January 2021 that did not exist during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Product revenues

Product revenues increased approximately $1.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in progress of percentage completion of two contracts, driven by completion and delivery of a major component of the contract requirements during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Service costs

Service costs increased approximately $2.1 million, or 33%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to service costs for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in direct employee costs in support of professional services contracts as well as increased costs associated with maintaining growth in our satellite and ground station networks offset by decreased costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the maturity of the next generation satellites.

Product costs

Product costs decreased approximately $1.8 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to product costs for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to the recognition of forward loss reserves for the design development, and manufacture of the Gen-3 satellites at inception of a new customer contract of approximately $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. This was partially offset by delivering a major component of the satellite on contract, which increased the product costs.

Selling, general, and administrative expense increased approximately $2.1 million, or 13.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.7 million increase in third-party professional services for public company readiness efforts that occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2021 that did not occur during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Salaries and benefit costs decreased $3.0 million driven by employees increased time supporting professional services contracts from the increased growth of our satellite and ground station networks. This was partially offset by product development labor costs increase of $2.4 million to continue to develop capabilities of the platform, develop the analytical competencies for new products, and expanded constellation and imagery collection efficiency. The remaining increase of $0.9 million was due to other expenses including but not limited to, utility, and other location-specific service costs and significantly decreased travel expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30 2021.

Depreciation expense increased approximately $2.5 million, or 67.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by two satellites placed in service in the second half of 2020.

Unrealized (loss)/gain on derivative

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $15.0 million loss on derivatives. The change was related to the fluctuation of fair value of outstanding warrants to purchase our Series B and C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, changes in our liability balance for warrants to purchase our Class A common stock, and consent fees related to the Intelsat and Seahawk secured term loan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.3 million loss on derivatives. The change was related to the fluctuation of fair value related to warrants to purchase our Series B and C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.

Gain/loss on equity method investment

Gain on equity method investment increased by $1.5 million, or 265.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase is related to the operating performance of LeoStella.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased by $0.5 million, or 16.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease is related to interest on the Mitsui U.S.A. loan that existed in 2020 and was extinguished in connection with the sale of the Launch Division. This was partially offset by increased amortization of consent fees associated with the Notes.

Other (Expense)/Income

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 we received $58.6 million in cash from several existing and new investors in exchange for 2021 Convertible Bridge Notes (“the Bridge Notes”) with a principal value of $58.6 million, inclusive of the incremental bridge notes issued in connection with our Rights Offering that closed on June 30, 2021. The first tranche of the Bridge Notes was issued at par at a principal amount of $18.1 million and a fair value of $24.2 million, resulting in a loss on issuance of $6.1 million. The second tranche of the Bridge Notes were issued at par at a principal amount of $40.0 million and a fair value of $52.2 million, resulting in a loss on issuance of $12.2 million. In June 2021, we offered eligible stockholders an opportunity to invest in a portion of the Bridge Notes as part of a Rights Offering on substantially the same terms as offered to investors in the initial tranche of the Bridge Notes. The aggregate principal amount and fair value of the Bridge Notes issued to the participating shareholders in the Rights Offering were $0.5 million and $0.6 million respectively, resulting in a loss on issuance of $0.1 million.

Certain investors in the first tranche of Bridge Notes received 126.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $59.8 million and Warrants to purchase 42.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair

value of $18.4 million. Additionally, the investors participating in the Rights Offering received 3.4 million incentive shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $2.6 million and 0.6 million incentive warrants exercisable for Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $0.5 million, resulting in a loss of issuance of $3.2 million.

We also incurred $47.7 million in debt issuance cost related to the Bridge Financing, the modification of existing debt arrangements, and the June 2021 Notes which has been expensed. We expensed the debt issuance cost related to the Bridge Financing because the Notes are being carried on the balance sheet at fair value.

On June 12, 2020, we completed the sale of 100% of our interests in Spaceflight, Inc. (the “Launch Division”) to M&Y Space Co. Ltd. (“M&Y Space”) for a final purchase price of $31.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Launch Division’s normal operations resulted in a gain from discontinued operations prior to the completion of the sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 we recorded a liability for a potential working capital adjustment related to target accounts receivable amount in accordance with the sale.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, management utilizes certain non-GAAP performance measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow for purposes of evaluating our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Our management and board of directors believe that these non-GAAP operating measures, when reviewed collectively with our GAAP financial information, provide useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our operating performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA has been calculated using EBITDA adjusted for (gain)/loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, launch employee retention bonuses, launch related shared services, satellite impairment loss, (gain)/loss on debt extinguishment, unrealized loss/(gain) on derivative, stock-based compensation, realized gain on conversion of notes, (gain)/loss on equity method investment, loss on issuance of the Notes and debt issuance cost expensed. We have presented EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because both are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of certain items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can produce a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating our operating results. In addition, we believe that both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

 

-20-


provide additional information for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP measures provide investors with incremental information for the evaluation of our performance after isolation of certain items deemed unrelated to our core business operations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented as supplemental measures to our GAAP measures of performance. When evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Furthermore, our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures computed by other companies, as the nature of the adjustments that other companies may include or exclude when calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the adjustments reflected in our measure. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor should these measures be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net loss. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP measures by relying primarily on our GAAP results. You should review the reconciliation of our net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our performance.

The table below reconciles our net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities—continuing operations plus cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities—discontinued operations less purchase of property and equipment and satellite procurement work in process. We have presented free cash flow because it is used by our management and board of directors as an indicator of the amount of cash we generate or use and to evaluate our ability to satisfy current and future obligations and to fund future business opportunities. Accordingly, we believe

 

-21-


that free cash flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our ability to satisfy our financial obligations and pursue business opportunities, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in their financial and operational decision-making.

Free cash flow is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of free cash flow rather than net cash from (used in) operating activities, which is the most directly comparable GAAP equivalent. Some of these limitations are:

 

   

free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt repayments or capital lease obligations that are not deducted from the measure; and

 

   

other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate free cash flow differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The table below reconciles our net cash used in operating activities to free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents excluding restricted cash totaled $26.4 million and $16.9 million as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The absence of cash flows from discontinued operations is not expected to affect our future liquidity and capital resources. Currently, our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from issuances of debt and preferred stock to investors. We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since our inception in September 2014. At June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $428.2 million.

On February 2, 2021, we amended the Omnibus Agreement, dated June 27, 2018, by and among us and the persons and entities listed therein (the “2021 Omnibus Amendment”). Under the 2021 Omnibus Amendment, we may borrow additional indebtedness in connection with subordinated, unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “2021 Bridge Notes”) issuable between February 2, 2021 and June 30, 2021 up to an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million (the “2021 Bridge Financing”). The 2021 Bridge Notes mature six months after the date that all unpaid principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Intelsat Jackson Holdings SA and Seahawk Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Intelsat Facility”) are due. In connection with the 2021 Omnibus Amendment, the investors guaranteeing the SVB line of credit further reaffirmed their guarantees and received a one-time issuance of seven shares of our Class A common stock for every dollar guaranteed.

The 2021 Bridge Notes convert in connection with the closing of the merger into shares of Osprey’s Class A common stock at a price per share equal to 80% of the price per share of Class A Common Stock as determined in connection with the merger. During the period from February 2, 2021 through February 3, 2021, we completed the closing of our initial tranche of the 2021 Bridge Financing of $18.1 million from existing stockholders. All investors participating in the initial tranche also received incentive equity equal to seven shares of our Class A Common Stock for each dollar invested, and certain other investors participating in the initial tranche also received warrants exercisable for shares of our Class A common stock in amounts ranging from approximately 0.14% of our fully-diluted share capital for each dollar invested over $1.0 million to 3.5% of our fully-diluted share capital. During the period from February 4, 2021 through February 18, 2021, we completed the closing of a second tranche of the 2021 Bridge Financing, raising an aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million, $10 million of which was invested by an affiliate of Mithril Capital Management (of which Ajay Royan, a member of Legacy BlackSky’s Board of Directors, is Managing Director) and from certain other investors (collectively, the “Second Tranche Bridge Financing Investors”). In addition to their investment in the second tranche of the 2021 Bridge Financing, each of the Second Tranche Bridge Financing Investors or their affiliates also participated in the PIPE Investment.

The remaining residual balance of the 2021 Bridge Financing was allocated to a rights offering in which certain shareholders in the Company were eligible to participate. The rights offering closed on June 30, 2021. The aggregate investments of participating shareholders in the rights offering were $0.5 million, and, upon the closing of the rights offering, we received $58.6 million in principal investments. The terms of the rights offering were substantially identical to those offered in the initial tranche of the 2021 Bridge Financing.

On February 18, 2021, we amended and restated our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock to a new total of 1,176,556,156 shares and increase the total number of authorized shares of Class A common stock to a new total of 1,000,000,000 shares.

On September 9, 2021, BlackSky completed its previously announced business combination with Osprey to take BlackSky public. Upon closing, the combined Company received approximately $283 million in gross proceeds, comprised of approximately $103 million in cash held in trust by Osprey and the proceeds of a $180 million PIPE. Transaction expenses paid on closing totaled approximately $44 million. Additionally, the Company repaid approximately $21.4 million in debt and accrued interest and approximately $27.1 million in other accrued liabilities. On September 13, 2021, the Company raised an additional $8 million through a direct sale of common stock to Palantir Technologies Inc. at $10.00 per share. Net cash proceeds from the merger, the PIPE financing, and the Palantir financing, less transaction costs and other closing payments, totaled approximately $216.1 million.

 

-23-


We expect that proceeds received from the business combination and the Palantir investment, net of fees and other closing payments, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months. Our future long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support solution development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the ongoing investments in technology infrastructure, the introduction of new and enhanced solutions, and the continuing market acceptance of our solutions. From time to time, we may seek additional equity or debt financing to fund capital expenditures, strategic initiatives or investments and our ongoing operations. If we decide, or are required, to seek additional financing from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Funding Requirements

We expect our expenses to increase substantially as we increase investments in sales, marketing and product to increase our market share, as we procure and launch satellites to increase capacity, as we develop our Gen-3 satellites, and as we build out our general and administrative functions in support of public company operations.

Specifically, our operating expenses will increase as we:

 

   

procure and launch additional satellites;

 

   

design and develop our next generation satellites;

 

   

enhance our platform and expand our sales and marketing efforts;

 

   

invest in research and development related to new technologies; and

 

   

hire additional personnel to support the expansion of our sales, marketing, operational, financial, product information technology, and other areas to support our operations as a public company upon the consummation of the merger.

Short-Term Liquidity Requirements

As of June 30, 2021, our current assets were approximately $40.1 million, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and contract assets.

As of June 30, 2021, our current liabilities were approximately $99.2 million, consisting primarily of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, contract liabilities, current debt obligations, and other current liabilities. Our 2021 Bridge Financing added approximately $58.6 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2021, for which there are no covenants tied to financial metrics. We are in compliance with all of our outstanding debt arrangements.

Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

Management anticipates that our most significant long-term liquidity and capital needs will relate to continued funding of operations, satellite development and procurement capital expenditures, launch capital expenditures, debt service and repayment of our Intelsat Facility.

Impact of the Business Combination:

On September 9, 2021, the merger was consummated, pursuant to which shares of Legacy BlackSky’s capital stock (including capital stock issued upon the conversion of Legacy BlackSky’s outstanding bridge notes and the exercise of certain of Legacy BlackSky’s warrants immediately prior to the merger, while excluding shares of Legacy BlackSky Class B common stock, treasury shares and shares with respect to which appraisal rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware were properly exercised and not withdrawn) were exchanged for a number of shares of Company Class A common stock equal to 78,993,201 and each outstanding Legacy BlackSky restricted stock unit, option and warrant was converted into a Company restricted stock unit, option or warrant based on the Class A Common Exchange Ratio applicable to shares of Legacy BlackSky Class A common stock. In connection with the merger, 18,000,000 PIPE Shares also were sold and issued for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $180.0 million, pursuant to a separate subscription agreement, entered into effective as of February 17, 2021.

On September 1, 2021, Palantir Technologies Inc. (“Palantir”), entered into a multi-year $16.0 million strategic partnership. As part of the strategic partnership Palantir will invest $8.0 million at $10.00 per share for the purchase of 800,000 shares of Osprey Class A common stock pursuant to a Subscription Agreement that closed on September 13, 2021, two business days subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination. The Subscription Agreement contains substantially the same terms as the PIPE Investment entered into February 17, 2021. The Company and Palantir also entered into a software subscription agreement which allows the Company to distribute products on Palantir’s platform to customers that are already integrated with Palantir. The Company is required to pay access fees to Palantir over multiple years for an aggregate payment of $8.0 million. The software subscription agreement contains a termination clause that Palantir must receive a minimum total of $750 thousand in fees from the effective date through the termination date. The Palantir transaction is deemed a related party transaction due to the fact the Chairman of the Board of Palantir is a founder of Mithril Capital who is a significant beneficial owner of a substantial investment in the Company.

The merger resulted in a $223.1 million increase to the cash available to fund our future operations and our long-term business plan until we achieve positive free cash flow. The gross proceeds of $291.0 million received from the Business Combination, inclusive of cash from PIPE shares, conversion of warrant liabilities and rights offering, offset by the following: 1) settling PPP Loan, SVB line of credit and accrued and unpaid interests related to those loans for a total amount of $19.6 million, 2) payment of transaction costs, including deferred legal fees, underwriting commissions, and other costs related to the Transaction, incurred by both Osprey and BlackSky for a total of $48.3 million.

We have a standing commitment to purchase a minimum number of Gen-3 satellites from one of our vendors. Based upon the amount raised in financing, we contractually committed to purchase up to 10 satellites of which we cannot estimate the total cost of the program at this time.

Operating activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $21.1 million. The significant contributor to the cash used during this period were net losses from continuing operations of approximately $203.7 million. Non-cash expenses of $188.3 million consisted primarily of $6.3 million depreciation and amortization, $1.4 million stock-based compensation, $96.5 million issuance costs for fair value debt, $47.7 million of debt issuance cost expensed for debt carried at fair value, $3.2 million loss on issuance of 2021 convertible bridge notes rights offering, $15.0 million unrealized loss on derivatives, a $18.4 million satellite impairment loss, $0.8 million amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, partially offset by a $1.0 million gain on equity method investment. Net cash outflows attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled approximately $5.7 million. Net cash outflows were primarily the result, of a $1.0 million decrease in advance payments on firm-fixed price contracts, $1.3 million in increased accounts receivable, a $1.0 million decrease in liability for estimated contract losses, and a $2.6 million decrease in accounts payables and accrued liabilities. These cash outflows were partially offset by $1.2 million decrease in contract assets and a $1.6 million decrease for estimated indirect taxes reclassified to other current liabilities from other long-term liabilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $22.1 million. The significant contributor to the cash used during this period were net losses from continuing operations of approximately $25.1 million. Non-cash expenses of $6.5 million consisted primarily of $3.8 million depreciation and amortization, $1.3 million stock-based compensation, $0.8 million amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, $0.3 million unrealized loss on derivatives, $0.6 million loss on equity method investment partially offset by a

 

-26-


$0.3 million gain on debt extinguishment. Net cash inflows attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled approximately $10.6 million. Net cash inflows were primarily the result of a $4.7 million increase in advance payments on firm-fixed price contracts, a $3.3 million increase in liability for estimated contract losses, a $2.0 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $1.5 million increase in other long-term liabilities, a $1.0 million increase in accounts payables and accrued liabilities, and a $0.2 million increase in other current liabilities. These cash inflows were partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in contract assets and a $0.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets.

Investing activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $11.4 million related to cash paid for the procurement of satellites and other launch-related costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $7.5 million primarily related to $15.9 million cash paid for the procurement of satellites and $8.4 million cash used in discontinued operations of the Launch Division.

Financing activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $53.8 million was primarily related to $58.6 million loan proceeds from the 2021 Bridge Financing offset by $4.1 million of payments of costs associated with the 2021 Bridge Financing. The loan proceeds and costs associated with the 2021 Bridge Financing are inclusive of the incremental bridge notes issued in connection with our Rights Offering that closed on June 30, 2021

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $3.5 million was primarily related to loan proceeds of $3.6 million received under the Paycheck Protection Program which we expect to repay over the next two years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These principles require the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve valuation of the Company’s revenue recognition, equity valuations, preferred stock and common stock valuation, redeemable convertible preferred stock classification, the valuation of warrants, the fair value of debt, goodwill impairment, and long lived asset impairment. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

There have been no substantial changes to these estimates, or the policies related to them during the six months ended June 30, 2021. A full discussion of these estimates and policies is included in the Proxy Statement in the section entitled “BlackSky’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 195 of the Proxy Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with EGC status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period to enable it to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.

In addition, the Company intends to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an EGC, the Company intends to rely on such exemptions, the Company is not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on its system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

The Company will remain an EGC under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last day of the Company’s first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of Osprey’s common stock in its initial public offering, (ii) the last date of the Company’s fiscal year in which it has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on which the Company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates, or (iv) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.

Legacy BlackSky’s founders, Jason and Marian Joh Andrews, (collectively, the “Founders”) have retained legal counsel in connection with claims they assert relating to the closing of Legacy BlackSky’s debt financings on October 31, 2019. The Founders claim that these October 2019 financings triggered a prepayment obligation to them under the subordinated promissory notes entered into with each of Jason Andrews and Marian Joh, the founders of BlackSky on November 13, 2018 (the “Andrews Notes”), in an aggregate amount of $2.5 million. To date, the Founders have not filed a lawsuit and have taken no further legal action. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and, as such, they would not result in a probable material adverse effect on its financial position. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a contingency loss. Also, on April 27, 2021, with the consent of Legacy BlackSky’s senior lenders, Legacy BlackSky entered into an agreement with the Founders under which BlackSky paid the Founders $750,000 towards the principal of the Andrews Notes on April 28, 2021 and paid $1.75 million towards the principal of the Andrews Notes upon the closing of the merger.

On June 7, 2021, a derivative lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by a purported Osprey stockholder in connection with the Business Combination: Luster v. Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp., et al., Index No. 653633/2021 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cnty.). The complaint named Osprey and members of Osprey’s pre-Business Combination board of directors as defendants. The complaint alleged breach of fiduciary duty claims against Osprey’s board of directors in connection with the Business Combination and an aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary claim against Osprey. The complaint alleged that the Proxy Statement was materially incomplete and misleading, and that the merger consideration was unfair. The complaint sought rescission of the Business Combination, damages, corrective supplemental disclosures in the Proxy Statement, and attorneys’ fees. As the surviving company following the Business Combination, BlackSky inherited the litigation after the Closing.

The Osprey board of directors also received six demands from putative stockholders of Osprey dated May 20, 2021, May 24, 2021, July 26, 2021, July 26, 2021, August 12, 2021, and August 19, 2021 (together, the “Demands”). Five of the Demands alleged that the Proxy Statement was materially misleading and/or omitted material information concerning the merger and sought the issuance of corrective supplemental disclosures. One of the five Demands also asserted that the merger consideration was inadequate and that an increase in consideration should be negotiated by the parties. The sixth Demand regarded the voting in connection with the vote concerning one of the proposals in the Proxy Statement.

Prior to Closing, Osprey reached agreements with Luster and the six putative stockholders that Osprey’s supplemental disclosures and a modification to the authorized shared proposal fairly resolved their claims. BlackSky has not yet reached agreements with these stockholders on attorney’s fees.

As of September 13, 2021, with the exception of the items above, the Company was not aware of any additional pending, or threatened, governmental actions or legal proceedings to which the Company is, or will be, a party that, if successful, would result in an impact to its business or financial condition or results of operations.

At the Effective Time, the Units automatically separated into the component securities and, as a result, no longer trade as a separate security. On September 10, 2021, the Class A Common Stock and Warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the new trading symbols “BKSY and “BKSY.W”, respectively.

As of the Closing Date, the Company had 115,149,075 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and 24,137,495 Warrants, each exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock, at a price of $11.50 per share.

Dividends

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on the Class A Common Stock to date. The Company may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and has no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, the Company’s ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of any existing and future outstanding indebtedness the Company or its subsidiaries incur. The Company does not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of the Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

Item 4.01

Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On September 9, 2021, following a meeting of the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), who served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the merger, was informed that it would be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Subsequently, on September 9, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021. Deloitte previously served as the independent registered public accounting firm for Legacy BlackSky, which was acquired by the Company on September 9, 2021.

The report of Marcum on Osprey’s financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from June 15, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2020, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. Their financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph relating to substantial doubt about the ability of Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. to continue as a going concern as described in Note 1 to the financial statements.

During the period from June 15, 2018 (Osprey’s inception) to December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through September [9], 2021, there were no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference thereto in its report on Osprey’s pre-merger financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from June 15, 2018 (Osprey’s inception) to December 31, 2020. During the period from June 15, 2018 (Osprey’s inception) to December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2021, there have been no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K except for the material weakness that is disclosed in Item 9A in the Form 10-K/A.).

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of Marcum’s letter, dated on September 14, 2021, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Exhibit 3.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF

OSPREY TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CORP.

Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), does hereby certify as follows:

A. The Company was originally incorporated under the name of OSPREY ACQUISITION CORP. II, and the original Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 15, 2018, as amended and thereafter filed on September 27, 2018 (to change the name of the Company to OSPREY ENERGY ACQUISITION CORP. II), June 17, 2019 (to change the name of the Company to OSPREY TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CORP.) and November 1, 2019.

B. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (this “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) was duly adopted in accordance with Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) and the affirmative vote of the stockholders of the Company.

C. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be effective as of 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time

on September 9, 2021.

D. The text of the certificate of incorporation of the Company is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

ARTICLE I

The name of the Company is BlackSky Technology Inc.

ARTICLE II

The address of the Company’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware, 19801. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

ARTICLE III

The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted by the Company is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL.

ARTICLE IV

Section 1. This Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock, to be designated, respectively, “Class A Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares of stock that the Company shall have authority to issue is 400,000,000 shares, of which 300,000,000 shares are Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and 100,000,000 shares are Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

Section 2. Each share of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the applicable record date shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on any matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

Section 3. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for such issue duly adopted by the Board of Directors (authority to do so


being hereby expressly vested in the Board of Directors). The Board of Directors is further authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any series of Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, authority to fix by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any such series, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing. The Board of Directors is further authorized to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series, subject to the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof stated in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares of such series. Except as may be otherwise specified by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, if the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock is so decreased, then the Company shall take all such steps as are necessary to cause the shares constituting such decrease to resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

Section 4. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Class A Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon by law or pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock).

Section 5. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the class or classes the number of authorized shares of which are being increased or decreased, unless a vote of any holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock is required pursuant to the terms of any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

ARTICLE V

Section 1. Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, the number of directors that constitutes the entire Board of Directors of the Company shall be fixed only by resolution of the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. For the purposes of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directorships whether or not there exist any vacancies or other unfilled seats in previously authorized directorships. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors of the Company shall be elected to hold office until the expiration of the term for which they are elected and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal; except that if any such meeting shall not be so held, such election shall take place at a stockholders’ meeting called and held in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 2. From and after the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the directors of the Company (other than any who may be elected by holders of Preferred Stock under specified circumstances) shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, hereby designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Directors already in office shall be assigned to each class at the time such classification becomes effective in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the date hereof, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of


stockholders following the date hereof, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the date hereof, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. If the number of directors is changed, any newly created directorships or decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned hereafter among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable, provided that no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

ARTICLE VI

Section 1. From and after the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, only for so long as the Board of Directors is classified and subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Section 2. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE IV hereof in relation to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances or except as otherwise provided by resolution of a majority of the Whole Board, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, created in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company, and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. A person so elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

ARTICLE VII

Section 1. The Company is to have perpetual existence.

Section 2. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Company.

Section 3. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Company. The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Whole Board shall be required in order for the Board of Directors to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Company’s Bylaws. The Company’s Bylaws may also be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding the above or any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company may not be amended, altered or repealed except in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws relating to amendments to the Bylaws. No Bylaw hereafter legally adopted, amended, altered or repealed shall invalidate any prior act of the directors or officers of the Company that would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been adopted, amended, altered or repealed.


Section 4. The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Company shall so provide.

Section 5. No stockholder will be permitted to cumulate votes at any election of directors.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 1. From and after the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

Section 2. Subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Company may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, but a special meeting may not be called by any other person or persons and any power of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is specifically denied. Only such business shall be considered at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been stated in the notice for such meeting. Any such special meeting so called may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled by the Board of Directors or other person calling the meeting.

Section 3. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Company shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bylaws of the Company.

ARTICLE IX

Section 1. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended from time to time, a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

Section 2. Subject to any provisions in the Bylaws of the Company related to indemnification of directors of the Company, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any director or officer of the Company who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding. The Company shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the Proceeding (or part thereof) was, or is, authorized by the Board of Directors.

Section 3. The Company shall have the power to indemnify, defend and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding.


Section 4. Neither any amendment, repeal nor elimination of any Section of this ARTICLE IX, nor the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company inconsistent with this ARTICLE IX, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this ARTICLE IX in respect of any matter occurring, or any Proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for this ARTICLE IX, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal, elimination or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE X

Section 1. Meetings of stockholders may be held within or outside of the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books of the Company may be kept (subject to any provision of applicable law) outside of the State of Delaware at such place or places or in such manner or manners as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Company.

Section 2. Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (an “Alternative Forum Consent”), the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Company arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (each, as in effect from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in each such case, unless the Court of Chancery (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant therein. Unless the Company gives an Alternative Forum Consent, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint against any person (including, but not limited to, any underwriters or auditors retained by the Company) in connection with any offering of the Company’s securities, asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The existence of any prior Alternative Forum Consent shall not act as a waiver of the Company’s ongoing consent right as set forth above in this Section 2 of ARTICLE X with respect to any current or future actions or claims. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 2 of ARTICLE X.

ARTICLE XI

Section 1. The Company reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote, the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board and the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the amendment, repeal or modification of the provisions of Section 3 of ARTICLE IV, ARTICLE V, Section 1 of ARTICLE VI, Section 2 of ARTICLE VI, Section 5 of ARTICLE VII, Section 1 of ARTICLE VIII, Section 2 of ARTICLE VIII, Section 3 of ARTICLE VIII or this ARTICLE XI of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.


Section 2. If any provision or provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the court will replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that most accurately reflects the Company’s intent in order to achieve, to the maximum extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Company to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on this 9th day of September 2021.

  2.4

ADVANCE NOTICE PROCEDURES

(a)    Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors or the proposal of other business to be transacted by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders may be made only (1) pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto); (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; (3) as may be provided in the certificate of designations for any class or series of preferred stock; or (4) by any stockholder of the Company who (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice contemplated by Section 2.4(a)(ii); (B) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the annual meeting; (C) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting; (D) is a stockholder of record at the time of the annual meeting; and (E) complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(a).

(ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to clause (4) of Section 2.4(a)(i), the stockholder must have given timely notice in writing to the secretary and any such nomination or proposed business must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m., local time, on the 120th day and no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 90th day prior to the day of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders. However, if no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the preceding year, or if the date of the applicable annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, then to be timely such notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m., local time, on the 120th day prior to the day of the annual meeting and no later than the later of (x) 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made by the Company. In no event will the adjournment, rescheduling or postponement of any annual meeting, or any announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. If the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 10 days before the last day that a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.4(a)(ii) will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement

 

- 2 -


is first made. “Public announcement” means disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended and inclusive of rules and regulations thereunder, the “1934 Act”).

(b)    Special Meetings of Stockholders. Except to the extent required by the DGCL, and subject to Section 2.3(a), special meetings of stockholders may be called only in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and these bylaws. Only such business will be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as has been brought before the special meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting. If the election of directors is included as business to be brought before a special meeting in the Company’s notice of meeting, then nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors at such special meeting may be made by any stockholder who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice contemplated by this Section 2.4(b); (ii) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the special meeting; (iii) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting; (iv) is a stockholder of record at the time of the special meeting; and (v) complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(b).

(2)    a written representation and undertaking that, unless previously disclosed to the Company, such nominee is not, and will not become, a party to any voting agreement, arrangement, commitment, assurance or understanding with any person or entity as to how such nominee, if elected as a director, will vote on any issue;

(ii) At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director must furnish to the secretary the information that is required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination that pertains to such nominee.

(iii) No person will be eligible to be nominated by a stockholder for election as a director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4. No business proposed by a stockholder will be conducted at a stockholder meeting except in accordance with this Section 2.4.

(iv) The chairperson of the applicable meeting of stockholders will, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these bylaws or that business was not properly brought before the meeting. If the chairperson of the meeting should so determine, then the chairperson of the meeting will so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination will be disregarded or such business will not be transacted, as the case may be.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear in person at the meeting to present a nomination or other proposed business, such nomination will be disregarded or such proposed business will not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination or business may have been received by the Company and counted for purposes of determining a quorum. For purposes of this Section 2.4, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting, and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting.

(vi) Without limiting this Section 2.4, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.4, it being understood that (1) any references in these bylaws to the 1934 Act are not intended to, and will not, limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 2.4; and (2) compliance with clause (4) of Section 2.4(a)(i) and with Section 2.4(b) are the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than as provided in Section 2.4(c)(vii)).

 

- 7 -


(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, the notice requirements set forth in these bylaws with respect to the proposal of any business pursuant to this Section 2.4 will be deemed to be satisfied by a stockholder if (1) such stockholder has submitted a proposal to the Company in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; and (2) such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Company to solicit proxies for the meeting of stockholders. Subject to Rule 14a-8 and other applicable rules and regulations under the 1934 Act, nothing in these bylaws will be construed to permit any stockholder, or give any stockholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Company’s proxy statement any nomination of a director or any other business proposal.

 

  2.5

Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as otherwise provided in the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting.

 

  2.6

QUORUM

The holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (a) the chairperson of the meeting, or (b) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

  2.7

ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Company may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the DGCL and Section 2.11 of these bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

 

  2.8

CONDUCT OF BUSINESS

The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business and discussion as seem to the chairperson in order. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall be designated by the Board of Directors; in the absence of such designation, the chairperson of the Board of Directors, if any, or the chief executive officer (in the absence of the chairperson of the Board of Directors) or the president (in the absence of the chairperson of the Board of Directors and the chief executive officer), or in their absence any other executive officer of the Company, shall serve as chairperson of the stockholder meeting. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another place, if any, date or time, whether or not a quorum is present.

 

  2.9

VOTING

The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws, subject to Section 217 (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock) and Section 218 (relating to voting trusts and other voting agreements) of the DGCL.

Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder as of the applicable record date.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of the stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of the stock exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed.

  2.10

STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING

Subject to the rights of holders of preferred stock of the Company, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

 

  2.11

RECORD DATES

In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.

If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 213 of the DGCL and this Section 2.11 at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

  2.12

PROXIES

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent, may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by a document or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The authorization of a person to act as a proxy may be documented, signed and delivered in accordance with Section 116 of the DGCL, provided that such authorization shall set forth, or be delivered with information enabling the Company to determine, the identity of the stockholder granting such authorization. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL.

  2.13

LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE

The Company shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Company shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the Company’s principal place of business. In the event that the Company determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Company may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Company. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present.

INSPECTORS OF ELECTION

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Company shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. The Company may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act.

Such inspectors shall:

(a)    ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each;

(b)    determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots;

(c)    count all votes and ballots;

(d)    determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and

(e)    certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots.

The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. If there are multiple inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Exhibit 10.4

BLACKSKY TECHNOLOGY INC.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of [date], and is between BlackSky Technology Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [insert name of indemnitee] (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

A.    Indemnitee’s service to the Company substantially benefits the Company.

B.    Individuals are reluctant to serve as directors or officers of corporations or in certain other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or indemnification against the risks of claims and actions against them arising out of such service.

C.    Indemnitee does not regard the protection currently provided by applicable law, the Company’s governing documents and any insurance as adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee may not be willing to serve as a director or officer without additional protection.

D.    In order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to contractually obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, Indemnitee as permitted by applicable law.

E.    This Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the indemnification provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and this Agreement shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor shall this Agreement be deemed to limit, diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

The parties therefore agree as follows:

1.    Definitions.

(a)    A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur upon the earliest to occur after the date of this Agreement of any of the following events:

(ii)    Change in Board Composition. During any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Company’s board of directors, and any new directors (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in Sections 1(a)(i), 1(a)(iii) or 1(a)(iv)) whose election by the board of directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors;


(iii)    Corporate Transactions. The effective date of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such surviving entity;

(iv)    Liquidation. The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; and

(v)    Other Events. Any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement.

For purposes of this Section 1(a), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(b)    “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any other Enterprise.

2.    Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a

judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 2, Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide to the fullest extent permitted by law for indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by statute.

3.    Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.

Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 3 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

5.    Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. To the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

(b)    for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(c)    for any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements); or

(d)    initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee (other than with respect to any compulsory counterclaim brought by Indemnitee or a Proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification, advancement of Expenses, or contribution under this Agreement) against the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Company’s board of directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, (iii) otherwise authorized in Section 12(d), or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law.

8.    Advances of Expenses. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Company shall advance the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding prior to its final disposition, and such advancement shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 30 days, after the receipt by the Company of a written statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditure made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice). Advances shall be unsecured and interest free and made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay such advances and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to be indemnified or held harmless under the other provisions of this Agreement. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay any advance to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. This Section 8 shall not apply to the extent advancement is prohibited by law and shall not apply to any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) for which indemnity is not permitted under this Agreement, but shall apply to any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) referenced in Section 7(b) or 7(c) prior to a determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

9.    Procedures for Notification and Defense of Claim.

(a)    Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of notice thereof. The written notification to the Company shall include, in reasonable detail, a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding. The failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights, except and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company. The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.

(b)    If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a Proceeding pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect that may be applicable to the Proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of the Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter take all commercially-reasonable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(c)    The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee for any settlement of any Proceeding (or any part thereof) without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the Company may in any event decline to consent to (or to otherwise admit or agree to any liability for indemnification hereunder in respect of) any proposed settlement if the Company is also a party in such Proceeding and determines in good faith that such settlement is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders..

(d)    The Company shall not settle any Proceeding (or any part thereof) in which Indemnitee is or could have been a party without Indemnitee’s prior written consent unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding; provided, however, that Indemnitee will not unreasonably withhold his or her consent to any proposed settlement.

10.    Procedures upon Application for Indemnification.

(a)    To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and as is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of the Proceeding. Any delay in providing the request will not relieve the Company from its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such failure is prejudicial.

(b)    Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a), a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Company’s board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Company’s board of directors, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Company’s board of directors, (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested

 

-6-


Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Company’s board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (D) if so directed by the Company’s board of directors, by the stockholders of the Company. If it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information that is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and that is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(c)    In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 10(b), the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 10(c). If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Company’s board of directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Company’s board of directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after the submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to,, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 10(b) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

(d)    The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any Independent Counsel.

11.    Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a)    In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption and the burden of persuasion to establish by clear and convincing evidence that Indemnitee is not so entitled. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any

 

-7-


action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b)    The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. In the event that any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

(c)    Neither the knowledge, actions nor failure to act of any other director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

(d)    For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors or officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise, its Board, any committee of the Board or any director, or on information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise, its Board, any committee of the Board or any director, by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Enterprise, its Board, any committee of the Board or any director. The provisions of this Section 11(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

12.    Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a)    In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement within 90 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is not made (A) within ten days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or (B) with respect to indemnification pursuant to Sections 4, 5 and 12(d) of this Agreement, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) a contribution payment is not made in a timely manner pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement, or (vi) the Company or any other person or entity takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification, hold harmless, contribution or advancement rights. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration with respect to his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses, to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the

 

-8-


Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Delaware law (without regard to its conflict of laws rules) shall apply to any such arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)    Neither (i) the failure of the Company, its board of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor (ii) an actual determination by the Company, its board of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

(c)    To the fullest extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement. If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statements not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d)    To the extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to the extent Indemnitee is successful in such action, and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 90 days, after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, subject to the provisions of Section 8.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.

13.    Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amounts incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the events and transactions giving rise to such Proceeding; and (ii) the relative fault of Indemnitee and the Company (and its other directors, officers, employees and agents) in connection with such events and transactions.

 

-9-


14.    Non-exclusivity. The rights of Indemnitee as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change, subject to the restrictions expressly set forth herein or therein. Except as expressly set forth herein, no right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Except as expressly set forth herein, the assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. The DGCL and the bylaws permit the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond (“Indemnification Arrangements”) on behalf of Indemnitee against any liability asserted against him or incurred by or on behalf of him or in such capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement or under the DGCL, as it may then be in effect. The purchase, establishment, and maintenance of any such Indemnification Arrangement shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or of the Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or the other party or parties thereto under any such Indemnification Arrangement.

15.    Primary Responsibility. The Company acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by an entity the Indemnitee served or is serving and certain affiliates thereof (collectively, the “Secondary Indemnitors”). The Company agrees that, as between the Company and the Secondary Indemnitors, the Company is primarily responsible for amounts required to be indemnified or advanced under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement and any obligation of the Secondary Indemnitors to provide indemnification or advancement for the same amounts is secondary to those Company obligations. To the extent not in contravention of any insurance policy or policies providing liability or other insurance for the Company or any director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any other Enterprise, the Company waives any right of contribution or subrogation against the Secondary Indemnitors with respect to the liabilities for which the Company is primarily responsible under this Section 15. In the event of any payment by the Secondary Indemnitors of amounts otherwise required to be indemnified or advanced by the Company under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement, the Secondary Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement of expenses under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or this Agreement or, to the extent such subrogation is unavailable and contribution is found to be the applicable remedy, shall have a right of contribution with respect to the amounts paid; provided, however, that the foregoing sentence will be deemed void if and to the extent that it would violate any applicable insurance policy. The Secondary Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 15.

16.    No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment for such amounts under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

 

-10-


17.    Insurance. To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, trustees, general partners, managing members, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Company or any other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies to the same extent as the most favorably-insured persons under such policy or policies in a comparable position.

18.    Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

19.    Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director or officer of the Company or, at the request of the Company, as a director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another Enterprise, for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation or is removed from such position. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that any employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) is at will, and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, with or without notice, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in any executed, written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise), any existing formal severance policies adopted by the Company’s board of directors or, with respect to service as a director or officer of the Company, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or the DGCL. No such document shall be subject to any oral modification thereof.

20.    Duration. This Agreement shall continue during the period Indemnitee serves as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, trustee, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, advisor, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other Enterprise which Indemnitee serves at the request of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement) by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, whether or not Indemnitee is acting in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or advancement can be provided under this Agreement..

21.    Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, including any direct or indirect successor, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

22.    Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order or other applicable law, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of

 

-11-


the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

23.    Enforcement. The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company.

24.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, and does not diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

25.    Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement shall adversely affect any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

26.    Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or electronic mail or otherwise delivered by hand, messenger or courier service addressed:

(a)    if to Indemnitee, to Indemnitee’s address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as shown on the signature page of this Agreement or in the Company’s records, as may be updated in accordance with the provisions hereof; or

(b)    if to the Company, to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company at 13241 Woodland Park Road, Suite 300, Herndon, VA 20171, or at such other current address as the Company shall have furnished to Indemnitee, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to Craig Sherman, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C., 701 Fifth Avenue, Suite 5100, Seattle, WA 98104-7036.

Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as effective or having been given (i) if delivered by hand, messenger or courier service, when delivered (or if sent via a nationally-recognized overnight courier service, freight prepaid, specifying next-business-day delivery, one business day after deposit with the courier), (ii) if sent via mail, at the earlier of its receipt or five days after the same has been deposited in a regularly-maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail, addressed and mailed as aforesaid, or (iii) if sent via facsimile, upon confirmation of facsimile transfer or, if sent via electronic mail, upon confirmation of delivery when directed to the relevant electronic mail address, if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, or if not sent during normal business hours of the recipient, then on the recipient’s next business day.

27.    Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801, as its agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

28.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

29.    Captions. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

Exhibit 10.13

BLACKSKY HOLDINGS, INC.

OUTSIDE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

BlackSky Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that the granting of equity and cash compensation to members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board,” and members of the Board, “Directors”) represents an effective tool to attract, retain and reward Directors who are not employees of the Company (“Outside Directors”). This Outside Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”) is intended to formalize the Company’s policy regarding cash compensation and grants of equity awards to its Outside Directors. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Policy will have the meaning given such term in the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, or if such plan no longer is in use at the time of the grant of an equity award, the meaning given such term or similar term in the equity plan then in place under which the equity award is granted (the “Plan”). Each Outside Director will be solely responsible for any tax obligations incurred by such Outside Director as a result of the equity awards and cash and other compensation such Outside Director receives under this Policy.

1.    Effective Date. This Policy will be effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 17, 2021, by and among Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp., Osprey Technology Merger Sub, Inc., and the Company, as may be amended from time to time (such transactions, the “Merger,” such date of consummation of the Merger, the “Closing Date,” and the effective date of this Policy, the “Effective Date”).

2.    Cash Compensation.

2.1    Board Member Annual Cash Retainer. Following the Effective Date, each Outside Director will be paid an annual cash retainer of $90,000 for service on the Board. There are no additional retainers for service as a member (or chair) of a committee of the Board, as Chairperson of the Board, or as Lead Director and no per-meeting attendance fees for attending Board meetings or meetings of any committee of the Board.

2.2    Payment Timing and Proration. Each annual cash retainer under this Policy will be paid quarterly in arrears on a prorated basis to each individual who has served as an Outside Director at any time during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter of the Company (“Fiscal Quarter”), and such payment will be made no later than 30 days following the end of such immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter. For clarity, an individual who has served as an Outside Director during only a portion of the relevant Fiscal Quarter will receive a prorated payment of the quarterly installment of the annual cash retainer, calculated based on the number of days during such Fiscal Quarter such individual has served as an Outside Director. For clarity, an individual who has served as an Outside Director from the Effective Date through the end of the Fiscal Quarter containing the Effective Date (the “Initial Period”) will receive a prorated payment of the quarterly installment of the annual cash retainer, calculated based on the number of days during the Initial Period that such individual has served as an Outside Director.

3.    Equity Compensation. Outside Directors will be eligible to receive all types of Awards (except Incentive Stock Options) under the Plan, including discretionary Awards not covered


under this Policy. All grants of Awards to Outside Directors pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Policy will be automatic and nondiscretionary, except as otherwise provided herein, and will be made in accordance with the following provisions:

3.1    No Discretion. No person will have any discretion to select which Outside Directors will be granted Awards under this Policy or to determine the number of Shares to be covered by such Awards (except as provided in Sections 3.4.2 and 9 below).

3.2    Initial Awards. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director following the effectiveness of the first Form S-8 registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Shares issuable under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan automatically will be granted an award of Restricted Stock Units (an “Initial Award”). The grant date of the Initial Award will be the first Trading Day on or after the date on which such individual first becomes an Outside Director (such first date as an Outside Director, the “Initial Start Date”), whether through election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill an existing vacancy or in connection with a Board-approved increase in the number of members of the Board. The Initial Award will have an aggregate grant date fair value (determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) (the “Value”) of $300,000 (with the number of Shares subject to the Initial Award, to the extent any fractional Share results, rounded down to the nearest whole Share). If an individual was an Inside Director, becoming an Outside Director due to termination of the individual’s status as an Employee will not entitle the Outside Director to an Initial Award. Each Initial Award will be scheduled to vest in three equal installments on each of the one-year, two-year and three-year anniversaries of the Initial Award’s date of grant (or on the last day of the month, if there is no corresponding day in such month), in each case subject to the Outside Director remaining a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.

3.3    Annual Award. On the first Trading Day immediately following each Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) that occurs after the Effective Date, each Outside Director who has served as an Outside Director for at least 6 months through the date of such Annual Meeting automatically will be granted an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Annual Award”) that will have a Value of $150,000 (with the number of Shares subject to the Annual Award, to the extent any fractional Share results, rounded down to the nearest whole Share). The Annual Award will be scheduled to vest in full on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the Annual Award’s grant date, or (ii) the date of the next Annual Meeting following the Annual Award’s grant date, subject to the Outside Director remaining a Service Provider through such vesting date.

3.4    Additional Terms of Initial Awards and Annual Awards. The terms and conditions of each Initial Award and Annual Award (each, a “Policy Award”) will be as follows.

3.4.1    Each Policy Award will be granted under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable form of Award Agreement previously approved by the Board or its Committee (as defined in Section 9 below), as applicable, for use thereunder.

3.4.2    The Board or its Committee, as applicable and in its discretion, may change and otherwise revise the terms of Policy Awards to be granted in the future pursuant to this Policy, including without limitation the number of Shares subject thereto and type of Award.

 

- 2 -


4.    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, each Outside Director will fully vest in his or her outstanding Company equity awards that were granted to him or her while an Outside Director, as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, including any Policy Award, provided that the Outside Director continues to be an Outside Director through the date of such Change in Control.

5.    Annual Compensation Limit. Consistent with the Plan, no Outside Director may be granted, in any Fiscal Year, equity awards (including any Awards), the value of which will be based on their grant date fair value determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and be provided any other compensation (including without limitation any cash retainers or fees) in amounts that, in any Fiscal Year, in the aggregate, exceed $500,000, provided that such amount is increased to $800,000 in the Fiscal Year of his or her initial service as an Outside Director. Any Awards or other compensation provided to an individual (a) for his or her services as an Employee, or for his or her services as a Consultant other than as an Outside Director, or (b) prior to the Closing Date, will be excluded for purposes of this Section 5.

6.    Expenses. The Company will reimburse each Outside Director’s reasonable, customary and properly documented expenses incurred in connection with meetings of the Board and any of its committees, as applicable, and other activities undertaken at the request of the Company.

7.    Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, reclassification, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs (other than any ordinary dividends or other ordinary distributions), the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Policy, will adjust the number and class of shares of stock that may be delivered pursuant to Policy Awards and/or the number, class, and price of shares of stock covered by each outstanding Policy Award.

8.    Section 409A. In no event will cash compensation or expense reimbursement payments under this Policy be paid after the later of (a) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the compensation is earned or expenses are incurred, as applicable, or (b) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the compensation is earned or expenses are incurred, as applicable, in compliance with the “short-term deferral” exception under Section 409A. It is the intent of this Policy that this Policy and all payments hereunder be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the compensation to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or comply. In no event will the Company or any of its Parents or Subsidiaries have any responsibility, liability, or obligation to reimburse, indemnify, or hold harmless an Outside Director (or any other person) for any taxes imposed, or other costs incurred, as a result of Section 409A.

9.    Revisions. The Board or any committee of the Board that has been designated appropriate authority with respect to Outside Director compensation (or, with respect to any applicable element or elements thereof, authority with respect to such element or elements) (the “Committee”)

 

- 3 -


may amend, alter, suspend or terminate this Policy at any time and for any reason. Further, the Board may provide for cash, equity, or other compensation to Outside Directors in addition to the compensation provided under this Policy. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of this Policy will materially impair the rights of an Outside Director with respect to compensation that already has been paid or awarded, unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Outside Director and the Company. Termination of this Policy will not affect the Board’s or the Committee’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it with respect to Awards granted under the Plan pursuant to this Policy before the date of such termination, including without limitation such applicable powers set forth in the Plan.

BLACKSKY HOLDINGS, INC

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2021

 

1.

Organization and Business

BlackSky Holdings, Inc. (“BlackSky” or the “Company”), formerly known as Spaceflight Industries, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 24, 2014. The Company is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia and had two operating divisions: the BlackSky Division and, prior to June 12, 2020, Spaceflight, Inc. (the “Launch Division”). The BlackSky Division is composed of the Company’s other operating entities, BlackSky Global LLC and BlackSky Geospatial Solutions, Inc. BlackSky also owns a portion of the equity method investment X-Bow Launch Systems Inc. (“X-Bow”) and LeoStella, LLC (“LeoStella”), its joint venture with Thales Alenia Space US Investment LLC (“Thales”). On June 12, 2020, the Company completed the sale of 100% of its equity interests in the Launch Division to M&Y Space Co. Ltd. (“M&Y Space”), as discussed further below.

The BlackSky Division

The BlackSky Division is a leading provider of geospatial intelligence, imagery and related data analytic products and services and mission systems. The Company monitors activities and facilities worldwide by leveraging its proprietary small satellite constellation and harnessing the world’s expanding sensor networks. The Company’s on-demand constellation of satellites can image a location multiple times throughout the day, and the Company processes millions of observations from its satellites in space, air sensors, environmental sensors, asset tracking sensors, industrial internet-of-things (“IoT”) connected devices, and internet-enabled narrative sources. The Company monitors for pattern-of-life anomalies to produce alerts and enhance situational awareness for government and commercial customers worldwide. The Company’s monitoring service is powered by cutting-edge computing techniques - including machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and natural language processing. The Company’s global monitoring service is available via a simple subscription and requires no specialized technological infrastructure or setup.

The Company is a first mover in Earth observation, leveraging the performance and economics of its innovative small satellite constellation to deliver high revisit global monitoring solutions. The Company’s artificial intelligence/machine learning powered analytics platform derives unique insights from its constellation, as well as a variety of space, IoT, and terrestrial based sensors and data feeds. The Company has developed a fully-integrated, proprietary technology stack that includes its constellation of high-resolution small satellites that monitor global events and activities at high revisit rates, an artificial intelligence and machine learning enabled software platform that translates data into actionable insights, a proprietary database that continually captures information on global changes, and an application layer that delivers on-demand solutions directly to its customers.

In 2017, BlackSky and X-Bow entered into a Stock Subscription and Technology Transfer Agreement. Under the agreement, X-Bow issued 13.5 million of its own shares to BlackSky; in exchange, BlackSky irrevocably assigned and transferred certain intellectual property rights to X-Bow. As of June 30, 2021, BlackSky has a 20.6% ownership interest in X-Bow (Note 6).

In 2018, BlackSky and Thales formed a joint venture named LeoStella, LLC, a vertically-integrated small satellite design and manufacturer based in Tukwila, Washington, from which the Company procures satellites to operate its business. BlackSky and Thales each own 50% of LeoStella (Note 6).

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had six satellites in commercial operation. Ultimately, the Company seeks to establish a constellation of 30 high-resolution, multi-spectral satellites capable of monitoring locations on Earth as frequently as every 30 minutes, day or night.

The Launch Division

The Launch Division was based in Seattle, Washington and provided small satellite launch brokerage services to customers that manifest, certify, and integrate auxiliary payloads onto a single launch vehicle. The Launch Division leveraged its extensive relationships in the commercial launch market and provided satellite

 

F-6


launch brokerage services for its customers based on specific launch time frames, orbital parameters, payloads, and compatible launch vehicles. The Launch Division specialized in the launch of small satellites with masses between 1 kg and 300 kg into low earth orbit.

As part of the Company’s strategy to focus on the BlackSky Division, the Company executed a stock purchase agreement (“2020 SPA”) in January 2020 to divest its ownership of the Launch Division. On June 12, 2020, the Company completed the sale of 100% of its equity interests in Launch to M&Y Space under the previously executed 2020 SPA, for a final purchase price of $31.6 million. The Launch Division’s financial results are material to the Company’s financial results and, as such, are reported as discontinued operations (Note 7).

Liquidity

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred net losses from continuing operations of $203.7 million and $25.1 million, respectively, and incurred negative cash flows from continuing operating activities of $21.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception, and continues to face significant risks associated with successful execution of the Company’s business plan that include, but are not limited to, customer acquisition, competition and market risk, technical risk, liquidity risk, and risks associated with the retention of key personnel. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital deficits of $59.1 million and $37.2 million, respectively. The Company has historically funded its operations through issuance of preferred stock to private investors and debt financings. As a result of the merger consummated on September 9, 2021 (see Note 22), the Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to meet working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the 12-month period following the issuance of this report.

In the first half of 2020, the Company successfully divested the Launch Division, extinguished $26.0 million of short-term debt and extended the maturity date of a $16.1 million line of credit to September 30, 2021. On February 2, 2021, the Company entered into a bridge financing arrangement for $58.1 million to further improve the Company’s liquidity position. On February 17, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for a merger that would result in the Company becoming a publicly listed company. Given the Company’s projected net losses and negative cash flows, there can be no assurance that the Company’s business efforts will be successful, that the Company will continue to raise additional funds, or that the Company will be able to delay or reduce planned expenditures if necessary, to maintain sufficient liquidity.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The Company has prepared its unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with General Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the Company’s proportionate share of the earnings or losses of its joint venture and a corresponding increase or decrease to its investment, with recorded losses limited to the carrying value of the Company’s investment. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments and certain outstanding debt, which are stated at fair value.

These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated condensed financial statements and notes. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts presented in the Notes pertain to the Company’s continuing operations (See Note 7 for information on discontinued operations). In management’s opinion, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been included.

 

F-7


Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingencies at the reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by the Company relate to revenue and associated cost recognition, the collectability of accounts receivable, the recoverability and useful lives of property and equipment, the valuation of equity warrants and warrant liabilities, fair value estimates, the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the provision for income taxes, and stock-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from the sale of services and products. Service revenues include imagery and data, software & analytics, including professional services, that are recognized from the rendering of services under cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm fixed price, or on a time and materials basis. Product revenues include engineering and integration from long-term construction contracts.

The Company adopted the provisions of the new revenue recognition standard, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASC 606”), for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective adoption method for the contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application. Concurrent with the adoption of the new standard, the Company has updated its revenue recognition policy in accordance with the five-step model set forth under ASC 606.

The Company generates revenues through offering imagery; data, software and analytics; and engineering and integration solutions (including mission systems), primarily to government agencies. Most of the contracts include multiple promises which are generally separated as distinct performance obligations. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices using observable sales transactions where applicable.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable and net of discounts. The Company applies a policy election to exclude transaction taxes collected from customer sales when the tax is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction. The Company estimates any variable consideration, and whether the transaction price is constrained, upon execution of each contract. The Company did not have any active contracts with significant variable consideration as of June 30, 2021.

The estimation of total revenue and costs at completion is subject to many variables and requires judgment. The Company typically recognizes changes in contract estimates on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the changes are identified. Such changes in contract estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied in a prior period. Changes in contract estimates may also result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue, if the current estimate differs from the previous estimate. If at any time, the estimate of profitability for a performance obligation indicates a probable anticipated loss, the Company recognizes the total loss for the performance obligation in the period it is identified. Changes in estimates related to contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost measure of progress are recognized in the period in which such changes are made for the inception-to-date effect of the changes. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a $0.3 million favorable impact to revenue attributable to changes in other contract estimates. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s remaining product costs on a contract in a forward loss position was $3.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

Imagery

Imagery services include imagery delivered from the Company’s satellites in orbit via an online secure platform. Imagery performance obligations are recognized as service revenues at the point-in-time when the Company delivers images to the platform or, in limited circumstances, ratably over the subscription period when the customer has a right to access the online secure platform for unlimited images.

Data, Software and Analytics

The Company leverages proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyze data coming from both the Company’s proprietary sensor network and third-party sources to provide hard-to-get data, insights and analytics for customers. The Company continues to integrate and enhance our products by performing contract development, while retaining product rights. The Company provides technology enabled professional service solutions to support customer-specific software development requests, integration, testing and training. The Company also provides system engineers to support efforts to manage mass quantities of data. The Company also offers professional service solutions related to object detection, site monitoring and enhanced analytics, through which the Company can detect key objects in critical locations such as ports, airports, and construction sites; monitor changes at, damages to or other anomalies in key infrastructure; and analyze stockpiles or other critical inventory.

Service revenues from data, software and analytics contracts is recognized from the rendering of services over time on a cost-plus, firm fixed price, or time-and-materials basis. For firm fixed price contracts, the Company recognizes revenue using a cost-to-cost measure of progress, pursuant to which the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to complete the performance obligation (“EAC”). A performance obligation’s EAC includes all direct costs such as labor, materials, subcontract costs, overhead and an allocable portion of general and administrative costs. In addition, an EAC of a performance obligation includes future losses estimated to be incurred on onerous contracts, as and when known. For contracts structured as cost-plus or on a time-and-materials basis, the Company generally recognizes revenue based on the right-to-invoice practical expedient, as the Company is contractually able to invoice the customer based on the control transferred to the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date.

Engineering and Integration

The Company develops and delivers advanced launch vehicle, satellite and payload systems for customers that leverage the Company’s capabilities in mission systems engineering and operations, ground station operations, and software and systems development. These systems are typically sold to government customers under fixed price contracts. The Company generally recognizes revenue over time using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress, pursuant to which the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total EAC. An EAC includes all direct costs such as labor, materials, subcontract costs, overhead and an allocable portion of general and administrative costs. In addition, an EAC of a performance obligation includes future losses estimated to be incurred on onerous contracts, as and when known.

Service and Product Costs

Service costs primarily include internal aerospace and geospatial software development labor, third-party data and imagery, internal labor to support the ground stations and space operations, and cloud computing and hosting services.

Product costs primarily include the cost of internal labor for product design, integration and engineering in support of long-term development contracts for launch vehicle, satellite and payload systems. The Company also incurs subcontract direct materials and external labor costs to build and test specific components such as the communications system, payload demands and sensor integration. Costs are expensed as incurred except for incremental costs to obtain or fulfill a contract, which are capitalized and amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods and services.

Indirect costs incurred within or allocated to the Company’s customers are classified as overhead (included in product and services costs based on the nature of the contract). The Company does not have any contracts that are subject to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has issued equity and equity-based awards under its 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) and 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) (collectively the “Plans”), which are administered by the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the 2011 Plan, options to purchase up to 1,608,800 shares of the common stock have been authorized. On May 6, 2021, the 2011 Plan was terminated. Termination of the plan does not impact any outstanding awards, and no other options will be issued.

Under the 2014 Plan, options, restricted stock awards (“RSA”), and restricted stock units (“RSU”) to purchase up to 188,253,287 shares of the common stock have been authorized. Grants are approved by the Board of Directors. Option, RSA, and RSU awards that have been canceled, forfeited, or expired are available for issuance and use in connection with future awards. On May 6, 2021, the Board approved the termination of the 2014 plan subject to the closing of the SPAC transaction. Outstanding awards granted under this plan will not be affected.

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units

The estimated fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are measured based on the grant date estimated fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock. In order to determine the fair value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant, we perform a valuation analysis using a combination of market and income approaches. The Company uses the straight-line method to amortize this fair value as compensation cost over the requisite service period.

Certain of the Company’s outstanding RSUs have performance vesting conditions that are only triggered upon the consummation of the merger between BlackSky and Osprey Technologies (See Note 21) or by a qualified financing transaction as defined in the grant agreement. For these awards that have performance conditions, compensation expense shall be recognized when it is determined that it is probable that the performance conditions will be met. The merger transaction with Osprey Technologies or a qualified financing transaction cannot be deemed probable until it occurs, as these events are not completely within the control of the Company. Accordingly, the recognition of compensation expense related to the RSUs with these performance conditions will not commence until one of the performance conditions has been met.

Options

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value all options and the straight-line method to amortize this fair value as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The fair value of each option granted has been estimated as of the date of grant using the following inputs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Expected Dividend Yield. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires an expected dividend yield as an input. The dividend yield is based on historical experience and expected future changes. The Company currently has no plans to pay dividends on its common stock.

Expected Volatility. The expected volatility of Company’s common stock was estimated based upon the historical share price volatility of comparable publicly traded companies.

Risk-free Interest Rate. The yield on actively traded non-inflation indexed U.S. Treasury notes was used to extrapolate an average risk-free interest rate based on the expected term of the underlying grants.

Expected Term. The expected term is the estimated duration to a liquidation event based on a weighted average consideration of the most likely exit prospects for this stage of development. The Company is privately funded, and the lack of marketability is factored into the expected term of options granted. The Company will continue to review its estimate in the future and adjust it, if necessary, due to changes in the Company’s historical exercises.

The most significant assumption used in determining the fair value of the Company’s equity-based awards is the estimated fair value of common stock on the grant date. In order to the determine the fair value of the common stock on the grant date, a valuation analysis is performed by management, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, using a combination of market and income approaches.

 

F-10


The Company has historically adjusted the exercise price of certain outstanding stock options. For each award, the Company calculated the incremental fair value, which is the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. The incremental fair value is recognized as stock-based compensation expense immediately to the extent that the modified stock option has already vested, and for stock options that are not vested, the incremental fair value is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the remaining vesting period.

Segment Information

The Company historically has organized its operations around two operating segments, the Launch Division and the BlackSky Division. Prior to being sold, the Launch Division provided small satellite launch brokerage services to customers, including manifesting, certifying, and integrating auxiliary payloads onto a single launch vehicle. The Company agreed to sell the Launch Division on January 31, 2020, and the sale of the Launch Division was completed on June 12, 2020. Accordingly, the results of the Launch Division are reported as discontinued operations (see Note 7), rather than as a separate operating segment.

Subsequent to the sale of the Launch Division, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, who is the Company’s President, has determined the allocation of resources and assessed performance based upon the consolidated results of the Company. Accordingly, the Company is currently deemed to be comprised of only one operating segment and one reportable segment. The BlackSky Division, which comprises the operations of the Company’s single operating and reportable segment, provides geospatial intelligence, imagery and related data analytic products and services, and mission systems that include the development, integration, and operations of satellite and ground systems to commercial and government customers.

Debt - Application of the Fair Value Option

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued three tranches of subordinated, unsecured convertible promissory notes (refer to the discussion of the “2021 Bridge Financings and Related Transactions” included in Note 12). The Company has elected to account for these notes under the fair value option. In accordance with the application of the fair value option, the Company (i) recorded these notes at their fair values as of the dates of issuance and (ii) will remeasure the fair value of the notes at each balance sheet date. Both the initial and subsequent measurement of the fair value of the notes contemplate all of the notes’ terms and all of the notes’ features. Accordingly, when the fair value option has been applied, the Company does not separately evaluate the notes for the existence of embedded features that would require bifurcation as embedded derivatives under other accounting guidance. Changes to the fair value of the notes between balance sheet dates are reported within Other income/(expense), net in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income/loss, if such changes are attributable to base market risk. Changes to the fair value of the notes are reported in other comprehensive income/(loss), if such changes are attributable to instrument-specific credit risk. All debt issuance costs incurred in connection with notes accounted for pursuant to the fair value option were expensed as incurred, as required by GAAP. The Company does not separately report interest expense attributable to notes accounted for pursuant to the fair value option in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Accrued interest, which does not become due until maturity of the notes, is included in the determination of the fair value of the notes and changes thereto.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments that would require classification as a liability under ASC 480, as well as whether the warrants qualify for equity classification or require liability classification after consideration of the guidance and criteria outlined in under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions that impact classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

F-11


For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and remeasured at fair value as of each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with the 2021 Bridge Financing transactions in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D, under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

Deferred Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal fees, accounting fees, underwriting fees and other costs incurred which relate directly to the Company’s planned reverse recapitalization transaction. These costs will be charged to stockholders’ equity (deficit) upon the completion of the reverse recapitalization transaction. The Company incurred $7.1 million of offering costs related to the transaction and capitalized these costs in the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. There were no deferred offering costs capitalized as of December 31, 2020.

Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”)

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The update requires an entity to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and subsequently expense over the term of the hosting arrangement, versus which costs to expense as activities are performed. In addition, the update provides specific guidance regarding the income statement, cash flow statement, and balance sheet presentation of expenses recognized for, payments of, and prepayments attributable to capitalized implementation costs, respectively. This ASU can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. The guidance is effective for all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. For all other entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The update also permits early adoption, including adoption in any interim period. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted

The Company is an “emerging growth Company” (“EGC”) as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and has elected to not opt out of the extended transition period as provided by the JOBS Act. As such, when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is not an emerging growth company, or which has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards applied.

 

F-12


In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2016-02 “Leases”. The amendments in this update require the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as certain qualitative disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. The guidance requires the use of the modified retrospective method, with the cumulative effect of initially applying these updates recognized at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. For all other entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the planning stage and will adopt the guidance on January 1, 2022. The Company expects the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on the consolidated condensed balance sheet, since the Company will be required to report operating leases on the consolidated condensed balance sheets for the first time; however at this time the Company has yet to begin its adoption efforts and cannot reasonably estimate the impact to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The amendments in this update are primarily for entities holding financial assets and net investment leases measured under an incurred loss impairment methodology. A new methodology must be adopted to reflect expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates, which may include trade accounts receivable. This ASU requires modified retrospective application. The guidance is effective for public business entities that are not smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. For all other entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods therein. The Company is currently in the planning stage and will adopt the guidance on January 1, 2023. The Company has not yet determined the potential impact, if any, to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). The amendments in this update are intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU can be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The guidance is effective for all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. For all other entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is currently in the planning stage and will adopt the guidance on January 1, 2022. The Company has not yet determined the potential impact, if any, to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”. The amendment in this update addresses issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU can be applied on a prospective basis. The guidance is effective for public business entities that are not smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. For all other entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the planning stage and will adopt the guidance on January 1, 2024. The Company has not yet determined the potential impact, if any, to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”, (“ASU 2021-04”) which clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified upon modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

Revenues

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $36.2 million of remaining performance obligations, which represents the transaction price of executed contracts less inception to date revenue recognized. Remaining performance obligations exclude unexercised contract options. The Company expects to recognize revenue relating to remaining performance obligations of $18.4 million, $16.8 million, and $1.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021, during fiscal year 2022 and thereafter, respectively.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company earns revenue through the sale of products and services. Imagery; data, software and analytics; and engineering and integration are the disaggregation of revenue primarily used by management, as this disaggregation allows for the evaluation of market trends and certain product lines and services vary in recurring versus non-recurring nature.

The following table disaggregates revenue by type of products and services for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Equity Method Investments

LeoStella

In 2018, BlackSky and Thales formed a joint venture named LeoStella, a vertically-integrated small satellite design and manufacturer based in Tukwila, Washington, from which the Company procures satellites to operate its business. BlackSky and Thales each own 50% of LeoStella. The Company accounted for the initial investment of $7.0 million as an equity method investment. The Company did not make any additional capital investments in LeoStella during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company remitted $11.2 million and $6.2 million of payments to LeoStella.

X-Bow

In 2017, the Company entered into a Stock Subscription and Technology Transfer Agreement with X-Bow, whereby the Company assigned and transferred certain intellectual property rights owned by the Company to X-Bow in exchange for 13.5 million shares of X-Bow. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s interest in X-Bow was 20.6%.

Total liabilities of the Company’s equity method investees primarily consist of customer advances from related parties of $46.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and $51.4 million as of December 31, 2020.

The revenue related to equity method investments attributable to related parties is $14.8 million. The Company has differences between the carrying value of its equity-method investments and the underlying equity in the net assets of the investees of $1.6 million as of June 30, 2021, and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2020. The differences are a result of the elimination of upstream intra-entity profits from the sale of a satellite, the recognition of unearned profits as the satellites are depreciated, and the elimination of bad debt expense reserve arising from intra-entity sales.

Discontinued Operations

On June 12, 2020, the Company completed the sale of 100% of its interest in the Launch Division to M&Y Space for a final purchase price of $31.6 million. In connection with the sale, the Bridge Loan (defined below) with Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.), Inc. (“Mitsui U.S.A.”) of $26.0 million, plus unpaid accrued interest of $0.2 million, was extinguished and deducted from the net proceeds. In connection with the extinguishment of the Bridge Loan, accrued interest of $0.5 million recorded in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Loan was forgiven.

In connection with the 2020 SPA, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement with the Launch Division, wherein the Company will provide post-closing transition services to the Launch Division, including, but not limited to, the sublease of the Company’s office facility in Seattle, Washington, and common area maintenance fees related to the sublease.

Settlement Arrangement for the Sale of the Launch Division

On March 30, 2021, the Company reached an agreement with M&Y Space and the Launch Division (collectively referred to as the “Parties”), whereby the Parties settled certain disputes with respect to the purchase price in the total of $6.8 million which the Company accrued as a liability as of December 31, 2020 see Note 11. The Company made an upfront payment of $2.0 million on April 1, 2021. The Company terminated a launch arrangement with M&Y Space in April 2021 and the Company expects to offset the amount due to M&Y Space with a contractual refund of $3.9 million. As a result, the Company recorded a reduction to the accrued liability and a reduction to satellite procurement on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the Company recognized an unfavorable working capital adjustment of $1.0 million related to a potential shortfall in accounts receivable in the closing balance sheet delivered to M&Y Space. This number may be adjusted in future periods as the Company continues to analyze payments on account and legal remediation through the collection period ending in December 2021.

2021 Bridge Financings and Related Transactions

On February 2, 2021, the Company amended its omnibus agreement, dated as of June 27, 2018 (the “2021 Omnibus Amendment”). As a result of the amendment, the Company is permitted to enter into additional indebtedness by issuing new subordinated, unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “2021 Convertible Bridge Notes”) between February 2, 2021 and June 30, 2021 for up to an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million (the “2021 Bridge Financing”). The 2021 Convertible Bridge Notes bear interest at the rate of 10% and mature on April 30, 2025, if not converted to Class A common shares. There are no covenants tied to financial metrics. The Company made an irrevocable election to carry the 2021 Convertible Bridge Notes at fair value.

 

F-21


The 2021 Bridge Notes convert in connection with the closing of the merger between the Company and Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. (see Note 20 for more information) into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a price per share equal to 80% of the price per share of Class A Common Stock as determined in connection with the merger. During the period from February 2, 2021 through February 3, 2021, the Company completed the closing of its initial tranche of the 2021 Bridge Financing from existing stockholders. The aggregate principal amount of the notes issued in the initial tranche was $18.1 million. All investors participating in the initial tranche also received incentive equity equal to seven shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company for each dollar invested. Certain investors participating in the initial tranche additionally received warrants exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company in amounts ranging from 0.14% of the Company’s fully-diluted share capital for each dollar invested divided by $1.0 million to 3.5% of the Company’s fully-diluted share capital (see Note 13). On February 18, 2021, the Company completed the closing of a second tranche of the 2021 Bridge Financing, raising an aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million from an existing stockholder and from new investors. Participants in the second tranche did not receive shares of Class A Common Stock or warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock.

Upon the closing of the two previously mentioned 2021 Bridge Financing tranches, $1.9 million of 2021 Convertible Bridge Notes remained available to be offered to certain shareholders under terms similar to the initial tranche pursuant to a Rights Offering (“Rights Offering”). The Company subsequently completed the Rights Offering in June with a total of $0.5 million additional investment, resulting in final aggregate proceeds of $58.6 million in principal investments pursuant to the 2021 Bridge Financing transactions. As the terms of the Rights Offering were substantially identical to those offered in the initial tranche of the 2021 Bridge Financing, participants received seven shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar invested, as well as warrants.

In connection with the 2021 Omnibus Amendment, the investors guaranteeing the SVB line of credit further reaffirmed their guarantees and received a one-time issuance of seven shares of Class A common stock of the Company for every dollar guaranteed. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay a fee to holders of certain related party loans (“Consent Fees”). The Consent Fees are payable in either cash or shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the choice of the lender. Because the Consent Fees are considered variable share-settled liabilities, they are recorded at fair value, see further discussion in Note 19.

On February 18, 2021, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock to a new total of 1,176,556,156 shares, which included an increase in the total number of authorized shares common stock to a new total of 1,000,000,000 shares.

Fair Value of Debt

The estimated fair value of all of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt, excluding the Bridge Financing convertible notes that were issued in February and June of 2021 and are reported at fair value, was $88.5 million and $79.7 million as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using Level 3 inputs, based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements and credit rating.

We used a probability-weighted payoff scenario approach to value the long-term debt. Under this approach, we considered the stated interest rate on the notes to derive the principal and accrued interest during the period to a conversion event or maturity, considered any discounted conversion ratios or multipliers, utilized a present

 

F-22


value factor based on the remaining payoff period and our risk profile, and assigned a probability to each potential conversion event and to reaching maturity. This estimation process requires the application of significant judgement and assumptions. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions, or the relationships between those assumptions impact our valuations as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation of our debt.

Compliance with Debt Covenants

As of June 30, 2021, all debt instruments contain customary covenants and events of default. There are no covenants tied to financial metrics and the Company was in compliance with all non-financial covenants as of June 30, 2021.

 

13.

Warrants

Common Stock Warrants Liabilities

As part of the Bridge Financings discussed in Note 12, the Company issued warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which the warrants are exercisable is not fixed and adjusts based on the fully diluted capitalization of the Company, as defined in the warrant agreements, at the time of exercise. As of June 30, 2021, the warrants were exercisable for 43.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company analyzed the provisions of the respective warrant agreements, which requires a multi-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument has features that require treatment as a derivative liability. Based upon the fact that the number of shares of common stock that the warrants are exercisable for is not fixed and is subject to changes based on the Company’s capital structure, the warrants are not considered to be indexed to the Company’s stock. Therefore the warrants meet the criteria for derivative liability treatment and, as such, are recorded as other current liabilities in the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The warrants issued as part of the Bridge Financing, which have an exercise price of $0.01, are net exercisable by the holder for a period of ten years. In the event of the merger discussed in Note 20, the warrants automatically net exercise into Class A Common Stock of the Company which will then be exchanged for common stock in Osprey at the exchange rate applicable to the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

Subsequent Accounting for Warrant Liabilities

Derivative liabilities must be measured at fair value upon issuance and re-valued at the end of each reporting period through expiration. Any change in fair value between the respective reporting dates is recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 19 for more information.

In February 2021, the Company issued 2021 Convertible Bridge Notes (“ Bridge Notes”) in two tranches. The first tranche of the Bridge Notes were issued at par to several existing investors at a principal amount of

 

F-23


$18.1 million and a fair value of $24.2 million. Additionally, certain investors in the first tranche of Bridge Notes received 126.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $59.8 million and Warrants to purchase 42.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $18.4 million. The transaction was not considered to be at arms-length. The Company had an external valuation performed on the Notes, Class A Common Stock and Warrants were determined that their fair value exceeded the proceeds received. Since no unstated rights and/or privileges were identified with the first tranche of the Bridge Notes, the Company recorded a loss on issuance of $84.3 million

The second tranche of the Bridge Notes were issued at par to several new investors and an existing investor at a principal amount of $40.0 million and a fair value of $52.2 million, resulting in a loss on issuance of $12.2 million.

In June 2021, the Company offered eligible stockholders an opportunity to invest in a portion of the Bridge Notes as part of a Rights Offering on substantially the same terms as offered to investors in the initial tranche of the Bridge Notes. The aggregate principal amount and fair value of the Bridge Notes issued to the participating shareholders in the Rights Offering were $0.5 million and $0.6 million respectively. Additionally, the investors received 3.4 million incentive shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $2.6 million and 0.6 million incentive warrants exercisable for Class A Common Stock with a fair value of $0.5 million. No unstated rights and/or privileges were identified with respect to the Bridge Notes issued in connection with the Rights Offering, and the Company recorded a loss on issuance of $3.2 million.

The Company incurred and expensed $47.6 million in debt issuance cost related to the Bridge Notes issued in February and the modification of existing debt arrangements. These debt issuance cost consisted of 93.0 million Class A common shares valued at $43.9 million that were issued to certain guarantors in conjunction with modification of the Company’s line of credit and $3.7 million paid to third parties in cash. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.1 million in debt issuance costs related to the Rights Offering, which has been expensed.

The debt issuance costs were expensed because the Bridge Notes are being carried on the balance sheet at fair value. The modification of existing debt did not qualify as a Troubled Debt Restructuring nor did it result in the extinguishment of the debt.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted two equity incentive plans in prior years, the 2011 Plan and 2014 Plan. Both Plans allow the Board of Directors to grant stock options, designated as incentive or nonqualified, and stock awards to employees, officers, directors, and consultants. Stock options are granted with an exercise price per share equal to at least the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The vesting period is determined through individual award agreements and is generally over a five-year period. Awards generally expire 10 years from the date of grant.

Stock Options

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 0.6 million and 28.8 million options outstanding, respectively, under the 2011 and 2014 Plans. The Company has not issued options under the 2011 Plan since 2014.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to determine the fair value of options granted. The Company utilizes assumptions concerning expected life, a risk-free interest rate, and expected volatility to determine such values.

A summary of the weighted-average assumptions is presented below for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and there were no awards of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2021:

For options exercised, intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value on the date of exercise and the exercise price. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $4.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The total fair value of options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, compensation cost charged to continuing operations upon the vesting of stock options was $1.1 million and $1.3 million respectively.

The compensation costs attributable to continuing operations were included in selling, general and administrative expense in the unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2021, there was $0.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

Restricted Stock Awards

Beginning in 2020, the Company has granted restricted stock awards, which vest upon on the individual award agreements and generally over a three to four-year period. These shares are deemed issued as of the date of grant, but not outstanding until they vest. The Company intends to settle the restricted stock awards in stock, and the Company has the shares available to do so.

As of June 30, 2021, there was $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the employee share option plan, which amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. The total grant date fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $7 thousand.

Restricted Stock Units

Pursuant to actions taken by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 17, 2021 and March 17, 2021, the Company granted an aggregate of 96,083,025 restricted stock units to certain employees of the Company. On March 24, 2021, the Company granted an additional 1,500,000 restricted stock units to an outside advisor providing consulting services to the Company. On June 22, 2021, the Company granted 1,796,610 restricted stock units under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan.

The restricted stock units issued to certain employees and advisors of the Company include certain performance-based vesting requirements which had not been met as of June 30, 2021. These vesting requirements are linked to the consummation of the merger between BlackSky and Osprey Technologies Acquisition Corp. (See Note 21) or, with respect to the RSUs issued on February 17, 2021, March 17, 2021, and June 22,2021 can be satisfied by a qualified financing transaction as defined in the agreement.

Pursuant to the vesting terms related to the restricted stock units issued on February 17, 2021 and March 17, 2021, 50% of such restricted stock units will vest 180 days subsequent to consummation of a transaction that meets either of the specified performance conditions. The remaining 50% of such units will vest ratably over eight consecutive quarters, on specified quarterly vesting dates (i.e., March 10, June 10, September 10, and December 10), with the first of such quarterly vesting dates occurring at least three months after the vesting of the initial 50% of the restricted stock units.

Of the 1,500,000 restricted stock units issued on March 24, 2021, 25% vested immediately upon issuance. An additional 50% of these restricted stock units will vest on the date of a merger between BlackSky and Osprey Technologies Corp. The remaining 25% of the restricted stock units issued on March 24, 2021 vest ratably over 12 months, on the same day of the month that the merger closed, commencing as of the month following satisfaction of the performance condition.

The Company’s vesting terms related to the restricted stock units issued on June 22, 2021, states the first vesting date is the latter of a) 180 days subsequent to consummation of a transaction and b) the one year anniversary of the vesting commencement date. On the first vesting date, 25% of the awarded units vest and 1/16th of the remaining shares vest on the 12 consecutive quarterly vesting dates ( i.e., March 10, June 10, September 10, and December 10). The Company awarded restricted stock units that will vest in full on the first vesting date which is expected to be, 180 days subsequent to consummation of a transaction that meets either of the specified performance conditions.

The total fair value of shares vested and for which compensation was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.3 million. No compensation expense has been recognized with respect to the restricted stock units for which vesting only commences upon satisfaction of a performance condition, as the defined performance conditions are not deemed to be within the Company’s control and, accordingly, also were not deemed probable as of June 30, 2021. Unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested restricted stock units totaled $62.8 million as of June 30, 2021.

The Company’s warrant and consent fee liability are classified as other current liabilities in the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets, and changes in the liability balance are recorded to unrealized gain or loss in the unaudited consolidated condensed statement of operations. The consent fee liability can be settled in either shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price of 80% of the deemed closing value on the date of the SPAC Transaction or for a $2.5 million cash payment. As a result, the consent fee is determined to be a freestanding liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, which provides for freestanding instruments that represent obligations to issue a variable number of shares to be classified as liabilities.

The carrying values of the following financial instruments approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 based on their short-term maturities: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, leases payable and short-term debt and other current liabilities.

There were no transfers into or out of any of the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in various legal proceedings which, by their nature, may be inherently unpredictable and which could have a material effect on the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, taken as a whole.

The Company’s founders, Jason and Marian Joh Andrews, (collectively, the “Founders”) have retained legal counsel in connection with claims they assert relating to the closing of the Company’s debt financings on October 31, 2019. The Founders claim that these October 2019 financings triggered a prepayment obligation to them under the Andrews Notes in an aggregate amount of $2.5 million. To date, the Founders have not filed a lawsuit and have taken no further legal action. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and, as such, they would not result in a probable material adverse effect on its financial position. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a contingency loss. Also, on April 27, 2021, with the consent of our senior lenders, BlackSky entered into an agreement with the Founders under which BlackSky paid the Founders $0.8 million towards the principal of the Founders Notes on April 28, 2021 and will pay $1.8 million towards the principal of the Andrews Notes upon the closing of Osprey merger.

 

F-32


As of June 30, 2021, with the exception of the items above, the Company was not aware of any additional pending, or threatened, governmental actions or legal proceedings to which the Company is, or will be, a party that, if successful, would result in a material impact to its business or financial condition or results of operations.

Other Contingencies

The Company analyzed its unique facts and circumstances related to potential obligations in a certain state jurisdiction, including the delivery nature of its prior year intercompany services, payroll and other benefits-related services, current shared services between the parent and subsidiaries, and changing state laws and interpretations of those laws, and have determined that the Company may have an indirect tax obligation.

The Company has continued correspondence with the applicable authorities in an effort toward identifying a taxpayer-favorable resolution of the potential liabilities. The Company has recognized a liability including interest and penalties based on its best estimate as of June 30, 2021.

The following table summarizes the estimated indirect tax liability activity during the six months ended June 30, 2021:

The Company continues to analyze the additional obligations it may have, if any, it will adjust the liability accordingly.

Other Commitments

The Company has commitments for multi-launch and integration services with launch services providers. As of June 30, 2021, the company has commitments for 5 launches to include up to 10 satellites at estimated launch dates totaling an amount of $40.6 million with options for additional launches. The terms of the arrangements also allow for us to remanifest the satellites if significant delays in excess of 365 days or other inexcusable delays occur with the provider. Subsequent to remanifest efforts four months after the 365 days, the Company can request a refund of all recoverable costs. The launch service provider invoices based on the later of closing the merger transaction or time-based milestone payments from estimated launch dates. Payment terms are 15 days from invoice date.

BlackSky Merger with Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp.

On February 17, 2021, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. (“Osprey”), a Special Purpose Acquisition Company. The merger between the Company and Osprey pursuant to this agreement would result in BlackSky becoming a publicly listed company, as the surviving business post-merger. If consummated, the merger will result in all holders of BlackSky’s issued and outstanding preferred stock and Class A Common Stock (inclusive of restricted stock awards), as well as holders of the notes issued as part of BlackSky’s 2021 bridge financings, receiving shares of Osprey Class A Common Stock, in exchange for their BlackSky debt and equity holdings. Holders of BlackSky’s issued and outstanding Class B common stock will receive cash of $0.00001 per outstanding share.

Subsequent to the transaction, BlackSky will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Osprey. However, BlackSky is expected to be deemed the acquirer in the merger transaction for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the merger transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in which case the net assets of Osprey will be stated at historical cost and no goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded in connection

 

F-33


with the merger. The expectation for the treatment of the merger transaction as a reverse recapitalization is based upon the expectations that (A) the pre-merger shareholders of BlackSky are expected to hold between 57% to 72% of the voting interests of the combined company, (B) BlackSky’s existing management team will serve as the initial management team of the combined company, (C) BlackSky will appoint a majority of the initial board of directors of the combined company, and (D) BlackSky’s operations will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company.

Upon consummation of the merger, $180 million of cash raised by Osprey through a contemporaneous sale of Class A Common Stock in connection with the closing of a PIPE investment, as well any portion of the cash and marketable securities that is held in Osprey’s trust account at the time of the merger and not used to redeem shares of Osprey’s Class A Common Stock held by Osprey’s public shareholders upon the closing of the merger, is expected to become available to the combined company for general use. Cash available for general use will be reduced by cash payments made for (A) merger transaction costs incurred by both the Company and Osprey, (B) deferred underwriting fees related to Osprey’s IPO, (C) portions of the Company’s outstanding debt, and (D) other costs directly or indirectly attributable to the merger transaction.

There is no assurance that the merger between the Company and Osprey will occur, as consummation of the transaction is subject to (A) the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by Osprey’s pre-merger public stockholders at an Osprey special meeting for which a quorum is present and (B) a minimum of $225 million of aggregate required funds becoming available to the combined company based upon the summation of (i) the $180 million of cash proceeds from Osprey’s contemporaneous PIPE Investment pursuant to which Osprey Class A Common Stock will be sold and (ii) cash and marketable securities held in trust, after permitted redemptions of Class A common shares held by Osprey’s public shareholders. Neither approval of the merger transaction by Osprey’s public stockholders nor the amount of cash and marketable securities that would remain in Osprey’s trust account after permitted redemptions of Class A common shares by Osprey’s public stockholders is within the control of the Company or Osprey.

If the merger agreement is validly terminated by Osprey due to the Company changing its recommendation in support of the merger agreement prior to obtaining Company approval of the merger agreement by a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and the majority of the then outstanding Company preferred stock, the Company would be required to pay a one-time termination fee totaling $40.7 million.

Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties

The Company maintains all cash and cash equivalents with one financial institution. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable and cash deposits.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, revenue from customers representing 10% or more of the consolidated revenue from continuing operations was $6.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Accounts receivable related to these customers as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $0.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Revenue from the U.S. federal government and agencies was $12.3 million and $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accounts receivable related to U.S. federal government and agencies was $2.7 million and $1.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company generally extends credit on account, without collateral. Outstanding accounts receivable balances are evaluated by management, and accounts are reserved when it is determined collection is not probable. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company evaluated the realizability of the aged accounts receivable, giving consideration to each customer’s financial history and liquidity position, credit rating and the facts and circumstances of collectability on each outstanding account, and concluded that no reserve for uncollectible account was required.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through September 15, 2021, which is the date that the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure in the financial statements as of June 30, 2021, except as disclosed below.

Palantir Technologies Inc. Investment and Multi-Year Strategic Partnership

On September 1, 2021, Palantir Technologies Inc. (“Palantir”), entered into a multi-year $16.0 million strategic partnership. As part of the strategic partnership Palantir will invest $8.0 million at $10.00 per share for the purchase of 800,000 shares of Osprey Class A common stock pursuant to a Subscription Agreement that closed on September 9, 2021, two business days subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination. The Subscription Agreement contains substantially the same terms as the PIPE Investment entered into February 17, 2021. The Company and Palantir also entered into a software subscription agreement which allows the Company to distribute products on Palantir’s platform to customers that are already integrated with Palantir. The Company is required to pay access fees to Palantir over multiple years for an aggregate payment of $8.0 million. The software subscription agreement contains a termination clause that Palantir must receive a minimum total of $750 thousand in fees from the effective date through the termination date. The Palantir transaction is deemed a related party transaction due to the fact the Chairman of the Board of Palantir is a founder of Mithril Capital who is a significant beneficial owner of a substantial investment in the Company.

Impact of the Business Combination

On September 9, 2021, the Business Combination was consummated, pursuant to which 78,993,201 shares of Osprey Common Stock were issued for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of BlackSky, inclusive of shares of Osprey’s Common Stock issued in exchange for both BlackSky’s issued and outstanding preferred stock and issued and outstanding convertible notes (inclusive of interest accrued thereon), as if each had converted into BlackSky common stock immediately prior to the Business Combination. In connection with the Business Combination, 18,000,000 PIPE Shares also were sold and issued for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $180.0 million, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements entered into on February 17, 2021. The net proceeds of $223.1 million received reflect the receipt of gross proceeds of $291.0 million from the Business Combination, inclusive of cash from PIPE shares, conversion of warrant liabilities and rights offering, offset by the following: 1) settling PPP Loan, SVB line of credit and accrued and unpaid interests related to those loans for a total amount of $19.6 million, 2) payment of transaction costs, including deferred legal fees, underwriting commissions, and other costs related to the Transaction, incurred by both Osprey and BlackSky for a total of $48.3 million.

Description of the Transactions

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect (1) the merger between Osprey and BlackSky in accordance with the merger agreement entered into by the two companies on February 17, 2021, (2) the issuance of incremental shares of Osprey common stock pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with PIPE investors on February 17, 2021, and (3) additional transactions directly related to and/or triggered by the merger. More specifically, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the following events:

 

   

The merger between Osprey’s newly-formed merger subsidiary and BlackSky, with BlackSky surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osprey;

 

1


   

The issuance of shares of Osprey common stock for all of BlackSky’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock and preferred stock, pursuant to exchange ratios determined in accordance with the merger agreement entered into on February 17, 2021 and inclusive of (1) BlackSky Class A common stock issued upon the exercise of certain outstanding Class A common stock warrants and the conversion of all of BlackSky’s issued and outstanding bridge notes (inclusive of interest accrued thereon) into Class A common stock immediately prior to the merger and (2) BlackSky preferred stock issued upon the exercise of certain outstanding preferred stock warrants immediately prior to the merger;

 

   

The sale and issuance of 18 million shares of Osprey common stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or $180 million in the aggregate, immediately prior to the merger;

 

   

The sale and issuance of 800,000 shares of Osprey commons stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or $8 million in the aggregate, pursuant to a PIPE investment agreement signed in August 2021;

 

   

The exchange of cash for all of BlackSky’s issued and outstanding Class B common stock at a per share price equal to the Class B common stock’s par value;

 

   

Cash payments made in lieu of fractional shares that would otherwise be issued upon consummation of the merger;

 

   

The settlement of certain of BlackSky’s outstanding debt, inclusive of certain accrued and unpaid interest thereon;

 

   

The payment of transaction costs incurred by both Osprey and BlackSky;

 

   

The payment of underwriting fees incurred in connection with Osprey’s initial public offering, for which payment was deferred until Osprey consummated a business combination or similar transaction;

 

   

The cash settlement of consent fees incurred in connection with BlackSky’s 2021 bridge loan financings;

 

   

The cash settlement of certain BlackSky financial obligations for which payment was triggered by consummation of the Transactions; and

 

   

The exchange of all issued, outstanding, and unexercised BlackSky warrants, RSUs and stock options (excluding any BlackSky warrants that automatically terminated because they were not exercised prior to consummation of the merger) for warrants, RSUs and stock options of the combined company.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, the total number of shares of Osprey Class A common stock issued to BlackSky security holders in connection with the merger (the “Total Consideration Share Amount”) was calculated by dividing (x) an amount equal to (a) $925,000,000, plus (b) the aggregate exercise prices that would have been paid to BlackSky if all options and warrants to purchase BlackSky capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger were exercised in full, minus (c) $1,426,825, which amount equals the unfunded portion of the bridge loans that BlackSky had the right to incur prior to the closing of the merger, and minus (d) the total consideration paid to holders of shares of BlackSky’s Class B common stock in connection with the merger (which amount was less than $1,000 in the aggregate) by (y) $10.00.

Pursuant to Osprey’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation existing at the time of the merger, Osprey’s public stockholders were offered the opportunity to redeem, upon the close of the merger, shares of Osprey Class A common stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in Osprey’s Trust Account as of two business days prior to the Closing. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information reflects the redemptions of 21,375,376 shares of Osprey Class A common stock for $10.05 per share. The following table provides a summary of the shares of the combined company’s common stock that were outstanding immediately subsequent to consummation of the Transactions:

     78,993,201        68.1

Accounting for the Merger

Notwithstanding the legal form of the merger pursuant to the merger agreement, the merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Osprey is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes, and BlackSky is treated as the accounting acquiror. In accordance with this accounting method, the merger is treated as the equivalent of BlackSky issuing stock for the net assets of Osprey, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Osprey are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and operations prior to the merger are those of BlackSky.

BlackSky was deemed the accounting acquiror for purposes of the merger based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

   

Former BlackSky security holders as of immediately prior to the Transactions hold a majority (i.e., greater than 50%) of the outstanding voting interests in the post-merger combined company;

 

   

BlackSky’s senior management team as of immediately prior to the Transactions comprises senior management of the post-merger combined company;

 

   

BlackSky designated a majority of the members of the combined company’s initial Board of Directors;

 

   

BlackSky was the larger of the combining companies based upon historical operating activity and employee base; and

 

   

BlackSky’s operations comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, pro forma adjustments to the combined historical financial information of Osprey and BlackSky give effect to transaction accounting adjustments that (1) depict in the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet the accounting required to be applied to the Transactions pursuant to GAAP and (2) depict in the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations the effects of the pro forma balance sheet adjustments, assuming those adjustments were made as of the beginning of the fiscal year presented. Accordingly, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments that impact the pro forma income of the combined company have been recorded to the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, as the Transactions are assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2020 for purposes of presenting pro forma income statement information. The pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any management adjustments or any synergies, operating efficiencies, or other benefits that may result from consummation of the Transactions. In addition, as (A) Osprey and BlackSky have not had any historical relationship prior to the Transactions and (B) there is no historical activity with respect to Merger Sub, preparation of the accompanying pro forma financial information did not require any adjustments with respect to such activities.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company subsequent to completion of the Transactions. However, The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma adjustments represent estimates based on information available as of the dates of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes. The actual financial position and results of operations of the combined company subsequent to consummation of the Transactions may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

The merger between Osprey and BlackSky is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Osprey is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes, and BlackSky is treated as the accounting acquiror. The merger is treated as the equivalent of BlackSky issuing stock for the net assets of Osprey, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Osprey are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the merger are those of BlackSky.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 give pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 assumes that the Transactions were completed on June 30, 2021. Nonrecurring pro forma adjustments that impact the pro forma income of the combined company have been recorded to the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, as the Transactions are assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2020 for purposes of presenting pro forma income statement information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the following historical financial statements and the accompanying notes:

 

   

The historical unaudited condensed financial statements of Osprey as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the historical audited financial statements of Osprey as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are incorporated by reference to Osprey’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and the Proxy Statement, respectively; and

 

   

The historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of BlackSky as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which are attached as exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference, and the historical audited consolidated financial statements of BlackSky as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are incorporated by reference to the Proxy Statement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any management adjustments or anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, cost savings or other benefits that may result from consummation of the Transactions. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments and, accordingly, actual amounts may differ materially from the information presented. However, management believes that its assumptions and estimates provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Transactions based on information available to management at the time, and the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position of the combined company would have been had the Transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor is the information indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company.

     (214,906 )(J) 
  

 

 

 

Net Pro Forma Adjustment to Cash

     221,347 (A) 

B—Represents gross cash proceeds attributable to the sale and issuance of 18.8 million shares of Osprey common stock (inclusive of 0.8 million shares sold and issued pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into in August 2021) for $10.00 per share, or $188 million in aggregate gross proceeds, upon the closing of the PIPE Investments that occurred in connection with the consummation of the merger. Refer to balance sheet tickmark “R” for the pro forma impact of the share issuance on the combined company’s equity.

C—Reflects the release of cash equivalents from Osprey’s Trust Account. The pro forma cash impact of this adjustment is directly reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by redemptions of Osprey publicly traded shares for cash immediately prior to consummation of the merger (refer to balance sheet tickmark “J”). All restrictions regarding the use of the remaining cash equivalents were relieved upon consummation of the merger and, accordingly, the remaining cash equivalents will be available for general use by the combined company.

D—Reflects $0.9 million of cash received from a holder of Series B and Series C preferred stock warrants as (1) a prepayment for future services, in exchange for the accelerated vesting of all of the holder’s unvested Series B and Series C preferred stock warrants that would have otherwise expired upon consummation of the Transactions and (2) payment to cash exercise all Series B and Service C preferred stock warrant holdings immediately prior to the consummation of the merger. Refer to balance sheet tickmark “O” for the pro forma recognition of the cash received as a prepayment as a long-term contract liability. Refer to balance sheet tickmarks “N” and “R”, as well as tickmark “f” to the June 30, 2021 pro forma income statement, for the pro forma impacts of the exercise of the preferred stock warrants, and the subsequent exchange of the resulting BlackSky preferred shares for Osprey common shares, on the combined company’s other current liabilities, additional paid-in capital, and outstanding shares.

E—Reflects the cash payment of underwriting fees incurred by Osprey in connection with its initial public offering. Payment of these fees was deferred until Osprey consummated a business combination, merger, or similar transaction.

F—Reflects the use of cash proceeds, upon consummation of the merger, for (1) the repayment of $16.1 million related to BlackSky’s outstanding debt facility with Silicon Valley Bank, (2) the repayment of $3.6 million related to BlackSky’s Payroll Protection Plan loan (“PPP loan”), (3) partial payment of $1.8 million on notes payable due to BlackSky’s founders, and (4) the payment of certain accrued and unpaid interest on the aforementioned borrowings. Also refer to balance sheet tickmark “M” for details regarding all debt that was reported on BlackSky’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and subsequently settled for cash or converted upon consummation of the merger.

G—Reflects cash that was used to pay (1) $3.1 million of debt issuance costs reflected in BlackSky’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance reported as of June 30, 2021 and (2) $16.5 million of direct and incremental merger transaction costs — comprised primarily of underwriting, legal, and other fees that were due from BlackSky upon consummation of the Transactions — inclusive of portions that had been accrued and reported as a liability on BlackSky’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 (also refer to balance sheet tickmark “L”). For purposes of this reverse recapitalization transaction, the direct and incremental transaction costs are treated as a reduction of the cash proceeds resulting from the Transactions and, accordingly, as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Refer to balance sheet tickmark “R” for the corresponding pro forma adjustment to additional paid-in capital reported for the

 

8


combined company. The corresponding adjustment at tickmark “R”, which totals $20.0 million, also includes an incremental $3.5 million of transaction costs already paid by BlackSky and reported within other noncurrent assets on BlackSky’s June 30, 2021 balance sheet, as further described at balance sheet tickmark “K”.

H—Reflects the cash payment of $2.5 million of lender consent fees incurred upon BlackSky’s execution of the bridge loans. BlackSky had historically accounted for the associated liability as a derivative that was remeasured at fair value as of each balance sheet date, which resulted in the liability being reported in BlackSky’s June 30, 2021 balance sheet at a carrying value of $3.0 million. Derivative accounting treatment was historically applied since the lenders could elect for the consent fees to be settled with BlackSky Class A common shares, instead of cash, at a conversion price that represented a discount to the deemed value of BlackSky’s Class A common stock. Refer to balance sheet tickmarks “N” and “T”, tickmark “c” to the June 30, 2021 pro forma income statement, and tickmark “ee” to the December 31, 2020 pro forma income statement for additional details regarding the pro forma impact of the settlement of the consent fee liability on the combined company’s liabilities, accumulated deficit, and earnings.

I—Reflects cash that was used to pay Osprey’s direct and incremental transaction costs – comprised primarily of legal and other fees that were due from Osprey upon close of the merger – as well as certain other unsettled expenses, inclusive of $4.8 million accrued and reported as a liability on Osprey’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. For purposes of this reverse recapitalization transaction, these costs ultimately will result in a reduction to additional paid-in capital reported by the combined company, since Osprey’s closing accumulated deficit will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon recognition of the merger. Refer to balance sheet adjustments “L”, “N” and “R” for the corresponding pro forma adjustments to the accrued liabilities and additional paid-in capital reported for the combined company.

J—Represents cash used from Osprey’s trust account to redeem Osprey Class A common shares from public stockholders immediately prior to consummation of the merger.

K—Reflects the reclassification of incurred merger-related transaction costs deferred and reported as an asset on BlackSky’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. These transaction costs are accounted for as a reduction of the cash proceeds resulting from the Transactions and, accordingly, have been reported as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Of the total adjustment of $7.1 million, $3.5 million relates to amounts that had been paid as of June 30, 2021; whereas, the remaining $3.6 million relates to costs that had been accrued, as described in balance sheet tickmark “L”. Refer to balance sheet tickmark “R” for the corresponding pro forma adjustment to additional paid-in capital reported for the combined company.

L—Reflects the cash settlement of $4.7 million and $3.6 million of transaction costs accrued and reported as liabilities on the June 30, 2021 balance sheets of Osprey and BlackSky, respectively. The adjustment also reflects the payment of $3.1 million related to the BlackSky Bridge financing costs reported as a liability as of June 30, 2021. Balance sheet tickmarks “I” and “G” reflect the corresponding total cash outlays related to the transaction costs incurred by Osprey and Bridge financing costs and transaction costs incurred by BlackSky, respectively, inclusive of these amounts which have been accrued. This adjustment also reflects the cash settlement of $43,600 of accrued interest related to BlackSky’s PPP loan that was settled upon consummation of the Transactions, for which the corresponding cash outlay is reflected in balance sheet adjustment “F.”

The aforementioned settlements of certain liabilities reported on the June 30, 2021 balance sheets of Osprey and BlackSky are partially offset by a pro forma adjustment to accrue for $2.3 million of transaction bonuses due to BlackSky employees. These bonuses were triggered by the merger, but were not settled on the transaction close date.

M—Adjustments reflect the cash settlement of $21.4 million of outstanding debt in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, which amount is inclusive of (1) all amounts borrowed under BlackSky’s Silicon Valley Bank debt facility and PPP loan as of June 30, 2021 and (2) $1.8 million related to outstanding notes payable due to BlackSky’s founders. The adjustment also reflects the conversion of BlackSky’s bridge notes, carried at

 

9


$77.6 million, into BlackSky Class A common stock, which was then immediately exchanged for Osprey common shares. Refer to balance sheet tickmark “F” for the corresponding cash outlay related to the debt that was settled for cash and balance sheet tickmark “R” for the pro forma impact of conversion of the bridge notes and exchange of the resulting BlackSky Class A common shares for Osprey common shares on the combined company’s equity.

N—Adjustment reflects the exercise of BlackSky’s liability classified Series B preferred stock warrants, Series C preferred stock warrants, and Class A common stock warrants, and the immediate exchange of the shares issued upon exercise for Osprey common shares. These warrants are reported as an aggregate liability of $34.1 million on BlackSky’s June 30, 2021 balance sheet. Refer to balance sheet tickmark “R” for the corresponding pro forma impact of the exercise of the warrants and the exchange of the issued BlackSky preferred shares and Class A common shares for Osprey common shares on the combined company’s equity.

This adjustment also reflects the settlement of BlackSky’s liability for consent fees, which had a carrying value of approximately $3.0 million at June 30, 2021. Refer to balance sheet tickmark “H” for additional details regarding the cash settlement of BlackSky’s consent fee.

This adjustment also reflects the settlement of $0.1 million that Osprey owed to its Sponsor for the working capital funding reported as other current liabilities on the June 30, 2021 balance sheet of Osprey.

O—Represents a long-term contract liability associated with cash received as a prepayment for future services from a holder of Series B and Series C preferred stock warrants, in order to permit the accelerated vesting and exercise of unvested Series B and Series C preferred stock warrants that would have otherwise been cancelled upon consummation of the Transactions.

P—Represents the reclassification of Osprey redeemable Class A common stock to permanent equity upon consummation of the merger, prior to the impact of any redemptions. Balance sheet tickmark “R” presents the corresponding pro forma impact of this reclassification of Osprey redeemable Class A common stock to permanent equity on both the common stock par value and additional paid-in-capital of the combined company.

Q—Represents the derecognition of BlackSky’s issued and outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock, for which shares of Osprey common stock were exchanged at the following exchange ratios in connection with the merger:

 

Class of redeemable convertible preferred stock    Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio
(Osprey Class A common shares issued
per Preferred Share)
 

Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock(1)

Series B-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock(2)

     0.2628 

Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock(2)

     0.4794 

 

Refer to balance sheet tickmark “R” for the pro forma impact of the exchange of Osprey shares of common stock for BlackSky’s issued and outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock on the pro forma common stock par value and additional paid-in capital reported for the combined company.

R—Represents the net impact of the following pro forma adjustments to the combined company’s capital accounts based upon (1) the merger, inclusive of the issuance of Osprey Class A common stock for (i) BlackSky’s issued and outstanding preferred stock and (ii) outstanding bridge loans, as if the bridge loans converted to BlackSky Class A common stock immediately prior to the merger, (2) redemptions of Osprey’s publicly traded

NOTE 3—ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes the following adjustments:

a—Represents incremental share-based compensation expense expected to be recognized by the combined company subsequent to the Transactions. This incremental compensation expense relates to 96.8 million BlackSky restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that (1) were issued in February, March, and June of 2021, (2) remained outstanding as of the transaction date, and (3) require the commencement of expense recognition due to consummation of the Transactions, since the merger between BlackSky and Osprey (the “Merger”) satisfied the restricted stock units’ performance-based vesting condition. Vesting terms vary amongst the granted RSUs based upon both the grant date and the specific vesting terms attributed to certain of the awards; however, each award provides for (A) the vesting of 25%, 50%, or 100% of the granted RSUs on that date which is 180 days subsequent to consummation of the Merger (the “Initial Vesting Date”) and (B) subsequent vesting of the remainder of the granted RSUs on a monthly or quarterly basis in accordance with the terms of the respective underlying grant agreement. Although certain awards provide for the acceleration of the Initial Vesting Date if, prior to 180 days subsequent to the consummation of the Merger, (a) the combined company were to enter into certain specified transactions post-Merger or (b) the combined company’s common stock closes above a specified per share price, for a specified number of days, over a defined trading period, the Initial Vesting Date has been assumed to be 180 days subsequent to consummation of the Merger for purposes of preparing the pro forma income statements for the periods ended December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021.

As the Merger is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2020 for purposes of the preparation of this pro forma income statement information, the estimated incremental share-based compensation expense attributable to the 12-month period immediately subsequent to consummation of the Merger has been reflected in tickmark “aa” to the December 31, 2020 pro forma income statement. This adjustment reflects the incremental stock-based compensation expense that would be recognized for the RSUs over the six-month period that immediately follows the initial 12 months of expense recognition. This pro forma adjustment and pro forma adjustment “aa” to the December 31, 2020 pro forma income statement exclude the recognition of stock-based compensation expense related to 4,768,428 RSUs, with an aggregate fair value of approximately $3.6 million, that were issued during June 2021 and August 2021, and for which vesting will commence upon the later of 180 days subsequent to consummation of the Merger and the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date. These RSUs were excluded from the pro forma adjustments, as (1) the Initial Vesting Date is not solely based upon the passage of a specified period of time subsequent to the consummation of the Merger and (2) the application of an Initial Vesting Date based upon the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date could not be sufficiently aligned to the pro forma income statement assumption that the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2020. Aggregate share-based compensation expense that would be recognized for the excluded RSUs on the one-year anniversary of their Vesting Commencement Date and during each of the first two quarters occurring immediately subsequent to the one-year anniversary of the RSUs Vesting Commencement Date is estimated to be approximately $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Refer to balance sheet tickmark “T” for the impact that this pro forma adjustment to capture incremental stock-based compensation expense has on the combined company’s accumulated deficit. Also, refer to balance sheet tickmark “R” for the impact of the vesting of RSUs on the combined company’s additional paid-in capital.

b—Represents the elimination of interest income and unrealized gains earned on cash equivalents held in Osprey’s Trust Account during the period. Cash equivalents, net of redemptions (refer to balance sheet tickmark “S”), were released from Osprey’s Trust Account and became available for general use by the combined company upon consummation of the merger.

c—Represents the elimination of (1) the $14.7 million unrealized loss attributable to certain outstanding Series B preferred stock warrants, Series C preferred Stock warrants, and Class A common stock warrants reported as liabilities on BlackSky’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 (and through the date of the Transactions) and (2) the $0.3 million unrealized loss attributable to certain debt issuance costs (i.e., the Intelsat and Seahawk/Thales consent fees) reported as a derivative liability on BlackSky’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 (and through the date of the Transactions), since each lender had the option to have the fees due to them settled for a variable number of shares, instead of cash. Based upon the accounting treatment applicable to the warrants and the consent fees, BlackSky historically recognized changes in their fair value between reporting periods in its income statement. Upon consummation of the Transactions, the warrants were exercised for shares of BlackSky’s Series B preferred stock, Series C preferred stock, and Class A common stock, and those shares were immediately exchanged for shares of Osprey common stock at the applicable exchange ratio. As the warrants were exercised and the consent fees were settled upon consummation of the Transactions, the combined company is not expected to incur similar future unrealized losses (or unrealized gains) attributable to these liability classified financial instruments.

 

14


d—Represents the elimination of interest expense that BlackSky recognized during the period, which related to (1) its SVB loan facility and PPP loan, each of which was fully settled for cash upon the closing of the merger, and (2) $1.8 million of the notes payable due to BlackSky’s founders, representing the portion of the outstanding principal balance that BlackSky agreed to pay off in connection with entering the merger agreement with Osprey. Refer to balance sheet tickmark “F” for additional information regarding the debt settled for cash in connection with the Transactions.

e— No pro forma income tax adjustments have been recorded for the period, as BlackSky has recognized significant losses for all historical reporting periods, which has resulted in the recognition of no income tax expense and a full valuation allowance against any available deferred tax assets generated during those historical periods. Accordingly, if the merger had occurred as of January 1, 2020, no income tax expense or benefit would be expected to have been recognized by the combined company for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

f—Represents the pro forma weighted-average number of shares of Osprey common stock outstanding and pro forma loss per share calculated after giving effect to the Transactions, as follows:

(1)

The weighted-average number of outstanding Osprey public shares gives effect to the redemption of approximately 21.4 million shares of Osprey Class A common stock, which occurred immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions. As the merger is assumed to have occurred as of January 1, 2020 for purposes of preparing each of the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding reflects those shares of Osprey common stock that would be deemed outstanding for the period under the assumption that the share redemptions occurred on January 1, 2020.

(2)

Represents the Sponsor’s holdings of Osprey Class A common stock subsequent to the one-for-one conversion of the Sponsor’s holdings of Osprey Class B common stock into Osprey Class A common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the merger, excluding 2,371,875 shares of the newly issued Osprey Class A common stock that are subject to lock-up arrangements that will remain in effect until Osprey’s common stock price achieves certain targets or the shares are otherwise forfeited. Consistent with the assumption related to the merger, the conversion of the Sponsor’s Class B common shares is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2020 and, accordingly, the shares are assumed to have been outstanding shares of Osprey common stock for the entire reporting period.

(3)

The PIPE Investors’ shares are assumed to have been issued on January 1, 2020, consistent with the assumed date of the merger for purposes of preparation of the condensed combined pro forma statements of operations. Accordingly, these shares are assumed to have been outstanding for the entire reporting period for purposes of calculating the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.

(4)

Shares of Osprey common stock issued to BlackSky security holders to consummate the merger are assumed to have been issued on January 1, 2020. Accordingly, these shares are assumed to have been outstanding for the entire reporting period for purposes of calculating the weighted-average number of Osprey common shares outstanding. The number of Osprey shares issued to former BlackSky security holders was determined based upon (1) the exchange ratio applicable to BlackSky Class A common shares, including those BlackSky Class A common shares that were issued upon the conversion or exercise of certain of BlackSky’s other outstanding financial instruments in connection with the Transactions, and (2) the exchange ratio applicable to each class of BlackSky preferred shares, including those preferred shares that were issued upon the exercise of certain warrants in connection with the Transactions.

(i)

Amounts reflect the number of securities and the amount of outstanding debt (principal and interest) for which Osprey common shares were exchanged upon consummation of the Transactions.

 

16


(ii)

Represents the number of Osprey common shares that were issued per outstanding share of BlackSky common stock, per BlackSky common share equivalent, or per share of BlackSky preferred stock, as applicable.

(iii)

Each class of BlackSky preferred stock was exchanged directly for Osprey common shares (i.e., without initially being converted to BlackSky Class A common shares or equivalents), at the exchange ratio determined based upon either the liquidation preference attributable to the class of preferred stock or the common stock exchange ratio, whichever was most advantageous to the holder of the outstanding shares.

(iv)

Includes BlackSky Class A common stock warrants issued before, as well as in connection with, the bridge notes. The outstanding BlackSky Class A common stock warrants were automatically net exercised into BlackSky Class A common shares (refer to the “BlackSky Class A Common Share Equivalent” column), and those shares were exchanged for Osprey common shares based upon the Class A common stock exchange ratio.    

(v)

Represents the principal balance of bridge notes, inclusive of those bridge notes issued in connection with the June 2021 rights offering, as well as the interest accrued on the bridge notes as of consummation of the Transactions. Upon consummation of the Transactions, all outstanding bridge notes were converted into BlackSky Class A common stock at a conversion price of 80% of the deemed value of a single BlackSky Class A common share (refer to the “BlackSky Class A Common Share Equivalent” column for the number of shares of BlackSky Class A common stock issued upon conversion) and, immediately thereafter, those BlackSky Class A common shares were exchanged for Osprey common shares based the common stock exchange ratio.    

(5)

BlackSky RSUs that were exchanged for Osprey RSUs have been included in the determination of basic and diluted EPS on a weighted-average basis determined based upon the Class A common stock exchange ratio and the RSUs respective vesting schedules. Refer to adjustments “a” and “aa” to the June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 pro forma income statements, respectively, for additional information regarding the manner in which the RSUs vest.

(6)

Potentially dilutive shares have been deemed to be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. Potentially dilutive shares that have been excluded from the determination of diluted loss per share include (1) 24,137,495 outstanding warrants issued by Osprey, (2) the 2,371,875 shares of Osprey Class A common stock that were issued to the former holders of Osprey Class B common stock upon consummation of the merger, but are subject to lock-up arrangements that will remain in effect until Osprey’s post-merger common stock price achieves certain targets, (3) approximately 45,826,240 options and warrants to purchase shares of BlackSky common stock that, upon consummation of the merger and, based on the common stock exchange ratio indicated in the foregoing table (0.0912), were exchanged for options and warrants to purchase approximately 4,179,060 shares of Osprey common stock in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, and (4) approximately 34,886,561 BlackSky restricted stock units that, upon the consummation of the merger and, based on the common stock exchange ratio indicated in the foregoing table (0.0912), were exchanged for Osprey restricted stock units, convertible into approximately 3,181,602 shares of Osprey common stock, in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.

NOTE 4—ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes the following adjustments:

aa—Represents $2.3 million of expense related to non-recurring transaction bonuses triggered upon consummation of the merger and due to BlackSky employees, as well as incremental share-based compensation expense of approximately $35.9 million related to 96.8 million BlackSky restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that (1) were issued in February, March, and June of 2021, (2) remained outstanding as of the transaction date, and (3) require the commencement of expense recognition due to consummation of the Transactions, as the merger between BlackSky and Osprey (the “Merger”) satisfied the restricted stock units’ performance-based vesting condition. Vesting terms vary amongst the granted RSUs based upon both the grant date and the specific vesting terms attributed to certain of the awards; however, each award provides for (A) the vesting of 25%, 50%, or 100% of the granted RSUs on that date which is 180 days subsequent to consummation of the Merger (the “Initial Vesting Date”) and (B) subsequent vesting of the remainder of the granted RSUs on a monthly or quarterly basis in accordance with the terms of the respective underlying grant agreement. Although certain awards provide for the acceleration of the Initial Vesting Date if, prior to 180 days subsequent to the consummation of the Merger, (a) the combined company were to enter into certain specified transactions post-Merger or (b) the combined company’s common stock closes above a specified per share price, for a specified number of days, over a defined trading period, the Initial Vesting Date has been assumed to be 180 days subsequent to consummation of the Merger for purposes of preparing the pro forma income statements for the periods ended December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021.

 

17


As the Merger is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2020 for purposes of the preparation of this pro forma income statement information, the estimated incremental share-based compensation expense attributable to the 12-month period immediately subsequent to consummation of the Merger has been reflected in this adjustment. This pro forma adjustment and pro forma adjustment “a” to the June 30, 2021 pro forma income statement exclude the recognition of stock-based compensation expense related to 4,768,428 RSUs, with an aggregate fair value of approximately $3.6 million, that were issued during June 2021 and August 2021, and for which vesting will commence upon the later of 180 days subsequent to consummation of the Merger and the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date. These RSUs were excluded from the pro forma adjustments, as (1) the Initial Vesting Date is not solely based upon the passage of a specified period of time subsequent to the consummation of the Merger and (2) the application of an Initial Vesting Date based upon the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date could not be sufficiently aligned to the pro forma income statement assumption that the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2020. Aggregate share-based compensation expense that would be recognized for the excluded RSUs on the one-year anniversary of their Vesting Commencement Date and during each of the first two quarters occurring immediately subsequent to the one-year anniversary of the RSUs Vesting Commencement Date is estimated to be approximately $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Refer to balance sheet tickmark “T” for the impact of this pro forma adjustment to capture incremental stock-based compensation expense on the combined company’s accumulated deficit. Also, refer to balance sheet tickmark “R” for the impact of the vesting of RSUs on the combined company’s additional paid-in capital.

bb—Represents the elimination of interest income and unrealized gains earned on cash equivalents held in Osprey’s Trust Account during the period. Cash equivalents, net of redemptions (refer to balance sheet tickmark “S”), were released from Osprey’s Trust Account and became available for general use by the combined company upon consummation of the merger.

cc—Represents the elimination of the unrealized loss attributable to certain outstanding Series B and Series C preferred stock warrants that are reported as liabilities on BlackSky’s balance sheet. Based upon the accounting treatment applicable to these warrants, BlackSky historically recognized changes in their fair value between reporting periods in its income statement. Upon consummation of the Transactions, these warrants were exercised for shares of BlackSky’s Series B and Series C preferred stock, and those shares were immediately exchanged for shares of Osprey common stock at the applicable exchange ratio. As these warrants were exercised in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, the combined company is not expected to incur similar future unrealized losses (or unrealized gains) attributable to the warrants.

dd—Represents the elimination of $873,264 of interest expense that BlackSky recognized on (1) its SVB loan facility and PPP loan, each of which was fully settled for cash upon the closing of the merger, and (2) $1.8 million of the notes payable due to BlackSky’s founders, representing the portion of the outstanding principal balance that BlackSky agreed to pay off in connection with entering the merger agreement with Osprey. The interest expense that has been eliminated has been partially offset by a nonrecurring charge to write off $26,143 of deferred financing fees, representing the aggregate deferred financing fees outstanding and reported in the June 30, 2021 balance sheet related to the debt that was paid off upon consummation of the Transactions. The write-off of the June 30, 2021 deferred financing fee balances has been reflected in the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, as the Transactions have been assumed to have been consummated as of January 1, 2020 for purposes of preparing each of the pro forma income statements. Refer to balance sheet tickmark “F” for additional information regarding debt settled for cash in connection with the Transactions.

ee—Represents income statement impacts of the following nonrecurring amounts related to (1) the conversion of the bridge notes and (2) the settlement of the Intelsat and Thales/Seahawk consent fees for cash:

 

     Amount  
     (in thousands)  

Reclassification of amounts related to changes in the fair value of the bridge notes from OCI (1)

     (541

Gain on settlement of consent fees for cash(2)

     251  
  

 

 

 

Net Pro Forma Adjustment to Other income/(expense), net

     (290

 

(1)

In connection with BlackSky’s application of the fair value option to the bridge notes, certain losses related to the remeasurement of the notes at fair value were recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Conversion of the bridge notes in connection with the Transactions required the reclassification of the amounts previously recorded in OCI into earnings.

 

18


(2)

Amount reflects the non-recurring gain recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the consent fees liability as of June 30, 2021 and the cash settlement amount at the time of consummation of the Transactions. This adjustment records the incremental gain recognized above the reversal of the fair value remeasurement adjustment reflected in pro forma income statement tickmark “c” related the six months ended June 30, 2021. The nonrecurring portion of this adjustment has been recorded in the pro forma income statement for the period ended December 31, 2020, as the Transactions have been assumed to occur as of January 1, 2020 for purposes of preparing each pro forma income statement.

ff—Represents the elimination of the income tax expense recognized by Osprey. The income tax expense has been eliminated, and no additional pro forma income tax adjustments have been recorded, as BlackSky has recognized significant losses for all historical reporting periods, which has resulted in the recognition of no income tax and a full valuation allowance against any available deferred tax assets in historical periods. Accordingly, if the merger had occurred as of January 1, 2020, no income tax expense or benefit would have been recognized by the combined company.

gg—Represents the pro forma weighted-average number of shares of Osprey common stock outstanding and pro forma loss per share calculated after giving effect to the Transactions, as follows:

The weighted-average number of Osprey public shares gives effect to the redemption of approximately 21.4 million shares of Osprey Class A common stock, which occurred immediately prior to consummation of the Transactions. As the merger is assumed to have occurred as of January 1, 2020 for purposes of preparing each of the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding reflects those shares of Osprey common stock that would be deemed outstanding for the period under the assumption that the share redemptions occurred on January 1, 2020.

(2)

Represents the Sponsor’s holdings of Osprey Class A common stock subsequent to the one-for-one conversion of the Sponsor’s holdings of Osprey Class B common stock into Osprey Class A common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the merger, excluding 2,371,875 shares of the newly issued Osprey Class A common stock that are subject to lock-up arrangements that will remain in effect until Osprey’s common stock price achieves certain targets or the shares are otherwise forfeited. Consistent with the assumption related to the merger, the conversion of the Sponsor’s Class B common shares is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2020 and, accordingly, the shares are assumed to have been outstanding shares of Osprey common stock for the entire reporting period.

(3)

The PIPE Investors’ shares are assumed to have been issued on January 1, 2020, consistent with the assumed date of the merger for purposes of preparation of the condensed combined pro forma statements of operations. Accordingly, these shares are assumed to have been outstanding for the entire reporting period for purposes of calculating the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.

Shares of Osprey common stock issued to BlackSky security holders to consummate the merger are assumed to have been issued on January 1, 2020. Accordingly, these shares are assumed to have been outstanding for the entire reporting period for purposes of calculating the weighted-average number of Osprey common shares outstanding. The number of Osprey common shares issued to former BlackSky security holders in connection with the merger was determined based upon (1) the exchange ratio applicable to BlackSky Class A common shares, including those BlackSky Class A common shares that were issued upon the conversion or exercise of certain of BlackSky’s other outstanding financial instruments in connection with the Transactions, and (2) the exchange ratio applicable to each class of BlackSky preferred shares, including those preferred shares that were issued upon the exercise of certain warrants in connection with the Transactions. Refer to tickmark “f” related to the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 for additional details regarding the calculation of the total number of shares of Osprey common stock that were issued to former BlackSky security holders to consummate the Transactions.

BlackSky RSUs that were exchanged for Osprey RSUs have been included in the determination of basic and diluted EPS on a weighted-average basis determined based upon the Class A common stock exchange ratio and the RSUs respective vesting schedules. Refer to adjustments “a” and “aa” to the June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 pro forma income statements, respectively, for additional information regarding the manner in which the RSUs vest.

(6)

Potentially dilutive shares have been deemed to be anti-dilutive and, accordingly, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. Potentially dilutive shares that have been excluded from the determination of diluted loss per share include (1) 24,137,495 outstanding warrants issued by Osprey, (2) the 2,371,875 shares of Osprey Class A common stock that were issued to the former holders of Osprey Class B common stock upon consummation of the merger, but are subject to lock-up arrangements that will remain in effect until Osprey’s post-merger common stock price achieves certain targets, (3) approximately 45,826,240 options and warrants to purchase shares of BlackSky common stock that, upon consummation of the merger and, based on the common stock exchange ratio indicated in the foregoing table (0.0912), were exchanged for options and warrants to purchase approximately 4,179,060 shares of Osprey common stock in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, and (4) approximately 46,941,960 BlackSky restricted stock units that, upon the consummation of the merger and, based on the common stock exchange ratio indicated in the foregoing table (0.0912), were exchanged for Osprey restricted stock units, convertible into approximately 4,281,037 shares of Osprey common stock, in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.

BlackSky Announces Completion of Merger with Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp.

BlackSky’s Common Stock to Commence Trading on NYSE Under the Ticker “BKSY”

Gross Proceeds to BlackSky totaled $283 million, combining funds held in Osprey’s Trust and concurrent PIPE financing

Herndon, Va. and New York, N.Y. – September 9, 2021 – BlackSky Holdings, Inc. (“BlackSky”), a leading technology platform providing real-time geospatial intelligence and global monitoring, today announced it has completed its previously announced business combination with Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. (“Osprey”) to take BlackSky public. The combined company has been renamed “BlackSky Technology Inc.” and its shares will commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on September 10, 2021, under the ticker symbol “BKSY” for BlackSky common stock and “BKSY.W” for BlackSky warrants.

Upon closing, the combined company received approximately $283 million in gross proceeds, comprised of approximately $103 million in cash held in trust by Osprey and the proceeds of a $180 million PIPE. Osprey’s shareholders approved the transaction at a shareholder meeting on September 8, 2021.

“Our team is excited that we have reached this major milestone on our first-to-know mission to lead a new era of real-time global intelligence. We are looking forward to this next chapter as a public company and the many opportunities that lie ahead in the new space economy,” said BlackSky CEO Brian O’Toole. “We welcome our new shareholders to join our journey as we provide global customers with critical insights to see and understand important changes that impact their business.”

As a public company, BlackSky’s position as a leading geospatial data, analytics and monitoring services company is further strengthened.

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) changes in the competitive and regulated industries in which BlackSky operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting BlackSky’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (ii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities, and (iii) the effects of natural disasters, terrorist attacks and the spread and/or abatement of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, on the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and is based on information available as of the date of this communication, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. If any of these risks materialize or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect our expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
