SEC Form DEF 14A filed by Momentus Inc.

On or about April 10, 2026, we began mailing our proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, or the Annual Report. For shares held in street name (held for your account by a broker or other nominee), you will receive a voting instruction form from your broker or nominee. The Annual Report is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at https://investors.momentus.space/financial-information/annual-reports.

The Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement, and Annual Report are available at www.proxyvote.com.

The Board of Directors of Momentus Inc. is soliciting your vote for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Board of Directors has fixed the record date for the Annual Meeting as of the close of business on March 26, 2026.

A total of 5,641,506 shares of Class A common stock of the Company were outstanding on the record date for the Annual Meeting and are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter.

If you are a stockholder of record and your shares are registered directly in your name, you may vote:

If your shares of Class A common stock are held in street name (held for your account by a broker or other nominee):

We will be hosting our Annual Meeting via live webcast only. Any stockholder can attend the Annual Meeting live online by registering at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MNTS2026. In order to attend the Annual Meeting, you must provide the control number located on your proxy card. Upon completing your registration, you will access to the Annual Meeting and be able to vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting. The webcast will start at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time on May 19, 2026, and you are encouraged to log-in with your control number at least 15 minutes early.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote:

The Company will pay the cost for the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors. The solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail and through internet access to materials. Proxies may also be solicited personally, by telephone, fax, or email by employees of the Company without any remuneration to such individuals other than their regular compensation. The Company will also reimburse brokers, banks, custodians, other nominees, and fiduciaries for forwarding these materials to their principals to obtain the authorization for the execution of proxies. The Company may also engage a third-party proxy solicitor whose services would be paid by the Company.

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are a “stockholder of record” who may vote at the Annual Meeting. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by voting over the internet, by telephone, by returning your proxy or by voting online during the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in an account at a bank or at a brokerage firm or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker, or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker, or other nominee on how to vote your shares and to participate in the Annual Meeting. You will receive instructions from your bank, broker, or other nominee explaining how you can vote your shares and whether they permit internet or telephone voting. Follow the instructions from your bank, broker, or other nominee included with these proxy materials, or contact your bank, broker, or other nominee to request a voting instruction form. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to your bank, broker, or other nominee by giving your voting instruction to them. This ensures that your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting according to your instructions. If you want to vote in person virtually at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank, or other nominee and submit a copy to the Company’s Corporate Secretary in advance of the Annual Meeting. Further instructions will be provided to you as part of your registration process.

Note that under New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, rules that apply to voting by nominees, which apply to both NYSE- and Nasdaq-listed companies, if you hold shares through a bank, broker, or other institution and you do not provide your voting instructions to them at least ten (10) days before the Annual Meeting, that firm has the discretion to vote your shares on proposals that NYSE has determined are routine. Such firm will not have the discretion to vote your shares on proposals that NYSE has determined are non-routine. For purposes of the proposals in this Proxy Statement, the election of director nominees, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Evergreen Share Proposal, the Say-on-Pay Proposal, and the Say-on-Pay Frequency Proposal are non-routine matters, and the appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm is a routine matter. A “broker non-vote” refers to a share represented at the Annual Meeting held by a broker, as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner or person entitled to vote such shares and with respect to which, on one or more but not all matters, the broker does not have discretionary voting power to vote such share.

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by notifying the Company’s Corporate Secretary in writing, by returning a signed proxy with a later date, by transmitting a subsequent vote over the internet or by telephone prior to the close of the internet voting facility or the telephone voting facility. You may also attend the virtual Annual Meeting and vote during the Annual Meeting. If your stock is held in street name, you must contact your broker or nominee for instructions as to how to change your vote.

The presence, by virtual attendance or by proxy, of holders of at least a one-third of the total number of outstanding shares entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Shares held of record by stockholders or brokers, bankers, or other nominees who do not return a signed and dated proxy or attend the Annual Meeting virtually will not be considered present or represented at the Annual Meeting and will not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

Votes cast by proxy or online at the Annual Meeting will be counted by the persons appointed by the Company to act as tabulators for the Annual Meeting. The tabulators will count all votes FOR, AGAINST, abstentions, and broker non-votes, as applicable, for each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast and, therefore, do not have the effect of

votes in opposition to the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

The two nominees for director to receive the highest number of votes FOR election will be elected as directors. This is called a plurality. Proposal 1 is a non-routine matter. Therefore, if your shares are held by your brokerage firm in street name and you do not timely provide voting instructions with respect to your shares, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on Proposal 1. Shares held in street name by banks, brokerage firms, or other nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have authority to vote the shares on Proposal 1 will not be counted as votes FOR or WITHHELD from any nominee. As a result, such “broker non-votes” will have no effect on the voting on Proposal 1. You may:

Votes that are withheld will not be included in the vote tally for the election of the director.

To approve Proposal 2, holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter must vote FOR the Proposal. For the ratification of the selection of Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, the votes cast FOR must exceed the votes cast AGAINST. Only FOR and AGAINST votes will affect the outcome. Abstentions will have no effect on the voting of Proposal 2. Proposal 2 is a routine matter. Therefore, if your shares are held by your bank, broker, or other nominee in street name and you do not vote your shares, your bank, broker, or other nominee may vote your shares on Proposal 2.

To approve Proposal 3, holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter must vote FOR the Proposal. For the approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the votes cast FOR must exceed the votes cast AGAINST. Only FOR and AGAINST votes will affect the outcome. Abstentions will have no effect on the voting of Proposal 3. The Equity Incentive Plan Proposal involves matters that we believe will be considered non-routine and brokers and other intermediaries will not have the discretion to vote on it without voting instructions. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided by such organization.

To approve Proposal 4, holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter must vote FOR the Proposal. For the approval of the Evergreen Share Proposal, the votes cast FOR must exceed the votes cast AGAINST. Only FOR and AGAINST votes will affect the outcome. Abstentions will have no effect on the voting of Proposal 4. The Evergreen Share Proposal involves matters that we believe will be considered non-routine and brokers and other intermediaries will not have the discretion to vote on it without voting instructions. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided by such organization.

To approve, on an non-binding and advisory basis, Proposal 5, holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter must vote FOR the Proposal. For the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Say-on-Pay Proposal, the votes cast FOR must exceed the votes cast AGAINST. Only FOR and AGAINST votes will affect the outcome. Abstentions will have no effect on the voting of Proposal 5. The-Say-on-Pay Proposal involves

matters that we believe will be considered non-routine and brokers and other intermediaries will not have the discretion to vote on it without voting instructions. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided by such organization.

Pursuant to this non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for Proposal 6 on the proxy card or voting instruction: ONE YEAR, TWO YEARS, THREE YEARS, or ABSTAIN. The option receiving the vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be considered by the Board as the preference of the Company’s stockholders, on a non-binding, advisory basis. Abstentions will have no effect on the voting of Proposal 6. The Say-on-Pay Frequency Proposal involves matters that we believe will be considered non-routine and brokers and other intermediaries will not have the discretion to vote on it without voting instructions. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided by such organization.

If there are insufficient votes to approve Proposals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 your proxy may be voted by the persons named in the proxy to adjourn the Annual Meeting in order to solicit additional proxies in favor of the approval of such Proposal. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed for any purpose, at any subsequent reconvening of the Annual Meeting, your proxy will be voted in the same manner as it would have been voted at the original convening of the Annual Meeting unless you withdraw or revoke your proxy. Your proxy may be voted in this manner even though it may have been voted on the same or any other matter at a previous session of the Annual Meeting.

The Company does not know of any other matters that may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. Should any other business come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by such proxies in accordance with their best judgment. If you hold shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee as described above, they will not be able to vote your shares on any other business that comes before the Annual Meeting unless they receive instructions from you with respect to such matter.

Your proxy may be voted at the postponed or adjourned Annual Meeting. You will still be able to change your proxy until it is voted.

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K, or Form 8-K, that we expect to file with the SEC within four (4) business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four (4) business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four (4) business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

It means that you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent or with brokers. Please complete and return all proxy cards or voting instruction forms to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

If you encounter any technical difficulties with the virtual meeting platform on the Annual Meeting day, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual Annual Meeting log-in page. Technical support will be available starting at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time on May 19, 2026 and will remain available until the Annual Meeting has ended.

We are a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million.

Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report and smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

If you hold your shares directly, please contract an investor relations representative at investors@momentus.space. If your shares are held in street name, please contact the telephone number provided on your voting instruction form or contact your broker or nominee holder directly.

The Board of Directors has nominated the following individuals for election as Class II directors of the Company’s Board of Directors to serve until the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified or until the individual’s earlier of death, resignation, or removal:

The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of its nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected. If a director nominee becomes unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election, either the number of the Company’s directors will be reduced or the persons acting under the proxy will vote for the election of a substitute director nominee that the Board of Directors recommends.

The election of directors in this Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes validly cast at the election. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will have any effect on the outcome of voting on director elections.

The primary responsibilities of the Board of Directors are to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling, and direction to the Company’s management. When considering whether directors and director nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of its business and structure, the Board will focus primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth below in order to provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of its business. The Board is divided into three classes, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms. The Board held seven meetings in the 2025 fiscal year and all directors attended at least 75% of the Board and committee meetings on which he or she served during the year.

The following table sets forth information with respect to our current directors as of May 19, 2026:

At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Company’s voting stock.

The Board believes that Ms. Reed’s experience in government and international finance, as well as her service on U.S. and non-U.S. public company boards, makes her qualified to serve as a member of our Board of Directors.

As illustrated by the director biographies on the previous pages, our Board is made up of a diverse group of leaders with substantial experience in their respective fields. We believe that diversity in our Board’s composition, skills, qualifications, and experiences contributes to an effective and well-functioning board. As such, we believe that the Board possesses the necessary qualifications to provide effective oversight and insightful strategic guidance for the Company.

We regularly review our Board’s composition to identify the skills needed for our Company both in the near term and into the future. We highly value diversity in composition, experience and skills in evaluating and recommending new directors for our Board. Ongoing strategic Board succession planning assures that the Board continues to maintain an appropriate mix of objectivity, skills, and experiences to provide fresh perspectives and effective oversight and guidance to management, while leveraging the institutional knowledge and historical perspective of more experienced directors.

Each of the directors on the Board, other than John C. Rood, qualifies as an independent director, as defined under Nasdaq listing rules, and the Board consists of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq listing rules relating to director independence requirements. In addition, we are subject to the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications, and operations of the Audit Committee, as discussed below.

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits our directors, officers, employees or designated contractors from purchasing any financial instruments, including variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in any transactions that hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Company’s securities.

Any matter intended for the Board, or for any individual member of the Board, should be directed to Momentus Inc., 1762 Automation Parkway, San Jose, California 95131, Attention: Corporate Secretary, with a request to forward the communication to the intended recipient. In general, any stockholder communication delivered to the Company for forwarding to Board members will be forwarded in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions. The Company reserves the right not to forward to Board members any abusive, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate materials.

The Board has determined that it should maintain the flexibility to select the Chair of the Board of the Company and adjust its Board leadership structure based on circumstances existing from time to time and based on criteria that are in the Company’s best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, including the composition, skills, diversity, and experience of the Board and its members, specific challenges faced by the Company or the industry in which we operate and governance efficiency. The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provides for the appointment of a lead independent director at any time when the Chairperson is not independent. As Mr. Rood, our Chief Executive Officer, is the Chairperson of the Board, the Board has appointed Linda J. Reiners as Lead Independent Director.

One of the key functions of the Board is informed oversight of the Company’s risk management process. This oversight function is administered directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and the Company’s Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps its management will take to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and

policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether the Company’s compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of Company’s Governance Guidelines.

The Company has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which has the composition and responsibilities described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. Each committee operates under a charter approved by the Board. Copies of each charter are posted on the Investor Relations section of our website at https://momentus.space. In addition to these committees, the Board has a Disclosure Committee as described below.

The members of the Audit Committee are Linda J. Reiners, Kimberly A. Reed, and Mitchel B. Kugler. Ms. Reiners is the Chair of the Audit Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee meets the requirements for independence and financial literacy under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations, including Rule 10A-3. Ms. Reiners qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). This designation does not impose any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on members of the Audit Committee and the Board. The Audit Committee met five times during 2025.

The Disclosure Committee is overseen by the Audit Committee and is responsible for, among other things:

None of the members of the Compensation Committee is or has been at any time one of Momentus’ officers or employees. None of Momentus’ executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other Board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of Momentus’ Board or Compensation Committee.

The Board held seven meetings in the 2025 fiscal year and all directors attended at least 75% of the Board and committee meetings on which he or she served during the year. Under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, it is Company policy that directors are invited and encouraged to attend the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, either in person or by teleconference or video conference. All directors serving at the time of our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders attended the annual meeting on May 19, 2025.

The Board is divided into three classes, resulting in approximately one-third of the members of the Board standing for election to three-year terms by the Company’s stockholders each year at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders. Each year, at the annual meeting of stockholders, the Board, based on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendations, will nominate and recommend a slate of directors for election by the stockholders of the Company. In accordance with the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, of the Company, the Board will also be responsible for filling vacancies or newly-created directorships on the Board that may occur between annual meetings of stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, evaluating, and recommending candidates to serve as members of the Board, in accordance with its charter, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, and the Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Invitations to a potential director to join the Board should be extended by the Chairperson of the Board on behalf of the Board. Stockholders may recommend director nominees for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by writing the Corporate Secretary of the Company in a timely manner in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company and providing the information or other materials required by the Bylaws with respect to proposed nominees. Following the verification of the stockholder status of the person submitting the nominee recommendation, all properly submitted recommendations shall be brought to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at a regularly scheduled meeting.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee works with the Board to determine periodically, as appropriate, the desired qualifications, expertise, and characteristics for potential directors, with the goal of developing an experienced and highly qualified Board, with a diverse background and skillset, that contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending for nomination directors that will best serve the

interests of the Company and its stockholders. Among the criteria the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board may consider are experience and diversity; and with respect to diversity, the Board may consider such factors as gender, race, ethnicity, differences in professional background, experience in the aerospace industry, experience at policy-making levels in business, finance and technology and other areas, education, skill, and other individual qualities and attributes. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board endorse the value of seeking qualified directors from backgrounds otherwise relevant to the Company’s mission, strategy and business operations, and perceived needs of the Board at a given time.

Existing directors and candidates for director nomination are evaluated in the context of the current composition of the Board and its committees, the Company’s operating requirements and the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board consider character, integrity, judgment, diversity, professional achievements, skills and areas of expertise, and other factors that they deem appropriate to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience, and capability on the Board.

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Business Conduct is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations page on our website at www.momentus.space. In addition, we have posted on the Corporate Governance section of our website all disclosures that are required by law or Nasdaq listing standards, including any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Business Conduct.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation (including final approval of audit and other fees), retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm that audits our financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has appointed Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP (“Frank, Rimerman”) as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026, including the audit of our internal control over financial reporting. Representatives of Frank, Rimerman are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be offered the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire. They will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Audit Committee annually reviews Frank, Rimerman’s independence and performance in deciding whether to retain Frank, Rimerman or engage an alternative independent auditor. As part of this review, the Audit Committee, among other factors, considers the following:

In addition to Frank, Rimerman’s conclusion that they are independent, the Audit Committee believes that Frank, Rimerman is independent and that there are controls and processes that help ensure such independence including the following: (a) Audit Committee oversight of Frank, Rimerman includes at least four private meetings each year and an additional four private meetings with the Audit Committee Chair prior to each quarterly Audit Committee meeting; (b) Audit Committee interaction with, and review of, the industry and other qualifications of the lead partner and of the concurring partner including periodic rotation of such partners; (c) oversight of non-audit services that require pre-approval by the Audit Committee precludes certain non-audit services and determines that Frank, Rimerman is an appropriate service provider; (d) discussions with Frank, Rimerman regarding their internal system of quality control including the firm’s internal quality reviews and procedures for maintaining independence with regard to audit clients; and (e) the overall regulatory framework and regulations and requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC that Frank, Rimerman is subject to as an independent registered public accounting firm.

We are asking you to ratify the selection of Frank, Rimerman as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year. Although ratification is not required by our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Frank, Rimerman to our stockholders for ratification because we value your views on our independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event that our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as a direction to the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of us and our stockholders.

The Audit Committee annually reviews the performance of its duties under its charter. The charter complies with all current regulatory requirements, including requirements pertaining to the Nasdaq listing standards definitions, provisions and applicable exceptions concerning the independence of audit committee members.

In 2025, the Audit Committee held five meetings. The Audit Committee’s meeting agendas are established by the Audit Committee Chair, Linda J. Reiners. The Audit Committee met with the senior members of the Company’s financial management team prior to each meeting.

The Audit Committee appointed Frank, Rimerman as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2025, and reviewed with the Company’s financial managers, the independent registered public accounting firm, and the Company’s internal auditor, overall audit scopes and plans, the results of internal and external controls and the quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

The Company’s management is primarily responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal controls, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws, and regulations. As the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Frank, Rimerman is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the audited financial statements to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC.

The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence from the Company and its management, and the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm such independence. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the independent registered public accounting firm’s provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the auditor’s independence.

Based on the Audit Committee’s reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 to be filed with the SEC.

The Audit Committee is comprised of the following members: Linda J. Reiners, Kimberly A. Reed, and Mitchel B. Kugler.

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by Frank, Rimerman, our independent registered public accounting firm, for fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation, and overseeing the work of independent auditors. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee shall review and, in its sole discretion, pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by independent auditors as provided under the Audit Committee charter. All audit, audit-related, and tax services during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include fees relating to the filings of the Company’s Registration Statements on Form S-1 and the issuance of comfort letters.

Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. These services include assistance regarding federal, state, and local tax compliance.

All other fees would include fees for products and services other than the services reported above.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the selection of Frank, Rimerman as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote because an abstention does not count as a vote cast. Proposal 2 for the ratification of the selection of Frank, Rimerman as our independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter, and a broker will be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares on the Proposal.

In 2021, the Board adopted and our stockholders approved the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). The Equity Incentive Plan initially authorized the issuance of up to 479 shares of Class A common stock, on a split-adjusted basis. In 2025, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan authorizing the issuance of an additional 53,222 shares of our Class A common stock, on a split-adjusted basis. At the Annual Meeting, we are seeking stockholder approval in order to amend the Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of our Class A common stock available for issuance thereunder by 500,000 shares. Capitalized terms used in this Proposal 3 but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Equity Incentive Plan.

We are seeking stockholder approval of an amendment to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan by 500,000 shares. As of March 31, 2026, there were approximately 84,045 shares remaining available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. In determining to propose this increase in shares, the Board has taken into consideration that the proposed increase would represent only a small percentage of the total shares of Class A common stock outstanding and the desirability and importance of being able to continue to grant awards that are comparable to those of our peer companies.

The Equity Incentive Plan is intended to (i) attract and retain the best available personnel to ensure our success and accomplish our goals; (ii) incentivize employees, directors, and independent contractors with long term equity-based compensation to align their interests with our stockholders; and (iii) promote the success of our business.

The terms of the Equity Incentive Plan are summarized below, and the full text of the Equity Incentive Plan is set forth as Exhibit 10.5 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 18, 2021. The full text of the proposed amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan is set forth as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. The following description of the material terms of the Equity Incentive Plan is intended to be a summary only, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Equity Incentive Plan.

It is intended that awards under the Equity Incentive Plan will comply with or are exempt from Section 409(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It is further intended that any incentive stock options awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan will comply with Section 422 of the Code.

Stockholders are also being asked to approve an amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan to increase the evergreen provision percentage by which the number of shares of our Class A common stock available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan increases each year from 3.0% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year to 5.0% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year (Proposal 4). The adoption of this Proposal 3 and the adoption of Proposal 4 are not contingent upon one another.

Employees, directors, and independent contractors of us or our affiliates are all eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees. As of December 31, 2025, we had four executive officers, approximately 29 employees, and six non-employee directors eligible to receive awards under the Equity Incentive Plan.

The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Board or a committee thereof, which committee will be constituted to satisfy applicable laws (the “Administrator”). Awards granted to an officer or director of the Company or any other person whose transactions in the Company’s Class A common stock are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Insider”) must be approved by two or more “non-employee directors” of the Board.

Subject to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Administrator has the authority, in its discretion, to (i) determine the fair market value in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan; (ii) select the service providers to whom equity awards may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan; (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by each equity award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan; (iv) approve forms of equity award agreements for use under the Equity Incentive Plan; (v) determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, of any equity award granted thereunder; (vi) institute and determine the terms and conditions of an exchange program under the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan (subject to stockholder approval); (vii) construe and interpret the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and equity awards granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan; (viii) correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Equity Incentive Plan, any equity award or any equity award agreement; (ix) prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Equity Incentive Plan; (x) modify or amend each equity award (subject to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan); (xi) adjust performance goals applicable to a participant with respect to an equity award to take into account changes in applicable laws or in accounting or tax rules, or such other extraordinary events or circumstances; (xii) allow participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations in such manner as prescribed in the Equity Incentive Plan; (xiii) authorize any person to execute on our behalf any instrument required to effect the grant of an equity award previously granted by the Administrator; (xiv) allow a participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares that would otherwise be due to such participant under an equity award; and (xv) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Equity Incentive Plan.

However, to the extent permitted by applicable law and listing requirements, the Board or a committee thereof may delegate to one or more of our officers who may be (but are not required to be) Insiders, the authority to (a) designate employees who are not Insiders to be recipients of equity awards and determine the number of shares subject to equity awards granted to such designated employees, subject to certain restrictions that are set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan and (b) take any and all actions on behalf of the Board or a committee thereof other than any actions that affect the amount or form of compensation of Insiders or have material tax, accounting, financial, human resource, or legal consequences to us or our affiliates.

The Equity Incentive Plan currently reserves 60,260 shares of Class A common stock, on a split-adjusted basis, available for issuance thereunder. Subject to adjustments as set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan, in no event will the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to incentive stock options exceed the number set forth above plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, any shares that again become available for issuance pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan.

The number of shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year and ending on (and including) the first day of the 2031 fiscal year, in each case, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) three percent (3.0%) of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares determined by the Board. The proposed Evergreen Share Proposal set forth in Proposal 4 increases the percentage by which the number of shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan shall be increased on the first day of each fiscal year to 5.0% of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

To the extent an equity award expires or is forfeited or becomes unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant to an exchange program (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), the unissued shares that were subject thereto will continue to be available under the Equity Incentive Plan for issuance pursuant to future equity awards. In addition, any shares which we retain upon exercise of an equity award in order to satisfy the exercise or purchase price for such equity award or any withholding taxes due with respect to such equity award will be treated as not issued and will continue to be available under the Equity Incentive Plan for issuance pursuant to future equity awards. Shares issued under the Equity Incentive Plan and later forfeited to us due to the failure to vest or repurchased by us at the original purchase price paid to us for the shares (including without limitation upon forfeiture to or repurchase by us in

connection with a participant ceasing to be a service provider) will again be available for future grants under the Equity Incentive Plan. To the extent an equity award under the Equity Incentive Plan is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan.

The Administrator, from time to time, may determine to substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either: (a) assuming such award under the Equity Incentive Plan or (b) granting an award under the Equity Incentive Plan in substitution of such other company’s award. Any awards that are assumed or substituted under the Equity Incentive Plan will not reduce the number of shares authorized for grant under the Equity Incentive Plan or authorized for grant to a participant in any fiscal year.

At the discretion of the Administrator, participants may be granted awards under the Equity Incentive Plan in the form of options to purchase shares of Class A common stock, SARs, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, PSU awards, and other forms of stock-based awards.

Stock Options. Each stock option is designated in the equity award agreement as either an incentive stock option (which is entitled to potentially favorable tax treatment) or a nonstatutory stock option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by the participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such stock options will be treated as nonstatutory stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees.

The term of each stock option is stated in the equity award agreement. In the case of an incentive stock option, the term will be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the equity award agreement. Moreover, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock or the stock of any of our affiliates, the term of the incentive stock option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the equity award agreement.

The per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of a stock option is determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: in the case of an incentive stock option (i) granted to an employee who, at the time the incentive stock option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of our stock or the stock of any of our affiliates, the per share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant; and (ii) granted to any other employee, the per share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. In the case of a nonstatutory stock option, the per share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stock options may be granted with a per share exercise price of less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant pursuant to a corporate reorganization, liquidation, etc., described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.

At the time a stock option is granted, the Administrator fixes the period within which the stock option may be exercised and determines any conditions that must be satisfied before the stock option may be exercised. The Administrator also determines the acceptable form of consideration for exercising a stock option, including the method of payment. In the case of an incentive stock option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant.

If a participant ceases to be a service provider other than for “Cause” (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), the participant may exercise his or her stock option within such period of time as is specified in the equity award agreement to the extent that the stock option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such stock option). In the absence of a specified time in the equity award agreement, to the extent vested as of a participant’s termination, the stock option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following a termination for death or disability, and three (3) months following a termination for any other reason. Any outstanding stock option (including any vested portion

thereof) held by a participant will immediately terminate in its entirety upon the participant being first notified of his or her termination for Cause and the participant will be prohibited from exercising his or her stock option from and after the date of such termination.

SARs. The Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each SAR, provided that the exercise price for each SAR will be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. Upon exercise of a SAR, a participant will receive payment from us in an amount determined by multiplying the difference between the fair market value of a share on the date of exercise over the exercise price by the number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. SARs may be paid in cash, in shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof, as determined by the Administrator. SARs are exercisable at the times and on the terms established by the Administrator.

Restricted Stock and RSUs. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that are subject to various restrictions, including restrictions on transferability and forfeiture provisions. Shares of restricted stock will vest and the restrictions on such shares will lapse in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Administrator. Each RSU is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the participant will be entitled to receive a payout for his or her earned RSUs as determined by the Administrator in the form of cash, shares, or a combination of both.

In determining whether restricted stock or RSUs should be granted, and/or the vesting schedule for such an equity award, the Administrator may impose whatever conditions on vesting as it determines to be appropriate.

During the period of restriction, participants holding restricted stock may exercise full voting rights and will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid, in each case with respect to such shares unless the Administrator determines otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares, the shares will be subject to the same restrictions, including without limitation restrictions on transferability and forfeitability, as the shares of restricted stock with respect to which they were paid. During the period of restriction, such dividends or other distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the restricted stock with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be paid or distributed unless and until such related Shares have vested and been earned.

During the vesting period, participants holding RSUs will hold no voting rights by virtue of such RSUs. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of RSUs that may be settled in cash, in shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. Absent a contrary provision in an award agreement, such dividend equivalents will be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the RSUs with respect to which the dividend equivalents accrue and shall not be paid or settled unless and until the related RSUs have vested and been earned.

Stock Bonus Awards. A stock bonus award is an award of shares to an eligible person without a purchase price that is not subject to any restrictions. The Administrator will determine the number of shares to be awarded to the participant under a stock bonus award. A stock bonus award may be paid in cash, whole shares, or a combination thereof, based on the fair market value of the shares subject to the stock bonus award on the date of payment, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

Performance Awards. The Administrator may grant options, SARs, restricted stock, and RSUs that are subject to the satisfaction of specified performance criteria. The Administrator determines the terms surrounding performance awards, including the required levels of performance with respect to specified business criteria (including any adjustment(s) thereto that will be applied in determining the achievement of such performance criteria), the corresponding amounts payable upon achievement of such levels of performance, and the termination and forfeiture provisions; provided that all performance criteria must be determined when the achievement of such criteria remains substantially uncertain.

The Administrator in its discretion may make performance goals applicable to a participant with respect to an equity award. In the Administrator’s discretion, one or more of the following performance goals may apply: (1) sales or non-sales revenue; (2) return on revenues; (3) operating income; (4) income or earnings including operating income; (5) income or earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or

amortization; (6) income or earnings from continuing operations; (7) net income; (8) pre-tax income or after-tax income; (9) net income excluding amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and/or excluding charges attributable to the adoption of new accounting pronouncements; (10) raising of financing or fundraising; (11) project financing; (12) revenue backlog; (13) gross margin; (14) operating margin or profit margin; (15) capital expenditures, cost targets, reductions and savings and expense management; (16) return on assets, return on investment, return on capital, or return on stockholder equity; (17) cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment, net cash provided by operations, or cash flow in excess of cost of capital; (18) performance warranty and/or guarantee claims; (19) stock price or total stockholder return; (20) earnings or book value per share; (21) economic value created; (22) pre-tax profit or after-tax profit; (23) strategic business criteria; (24) objective goals relating to divestitures, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions, and similar transactions; (25) objective goals relating to staff management, results from staff attitude and/or opinion surveys, staff satisfaction scores, staff safety, staff accident and/or injury rates, compliance, headcount, performance management, completion of critical staff training initiatives; (26) objective goals relating to projects; and (27) enterprise resource planning. Equity awards issued to participants may take into account other criteria (including subjective criteria).

Performance goals may differ from participant to participant, performance period to performance period and from equity award to equity award. Any criteria used may be measured, as applicable, (i) in absolute terms, (ii) in relative terms (including, but not limited to, any increase (or decrease) over the passage of time and/or any measurement against other companies or financial or business or stock index metrics particular to us), (iii) on a per share and/or share per capita basis, (iv) against the performance of us as a whole or against any of our affiliate(s), or a particular segment(s), a business unit(s) or a product(s) of us or individual project company, (v) on a pre-tax or after-tax basis, (vi) on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, and/or (vii) using an actual foreign exchange rate or on a foreign exchange neutral basis.

Outside Director Limitations. Equity awards granted during a single fiscal year under the Equity Incentive Plan or otherwise, taken together with any cash fees paid during such fiscal year for services on the Board, will not exceed (i) $1,000,000 in total value for any outside director serving as the lead director of the Board or Chair of the Board (including with respect to the first year of service) and (ii) $500,000 in total value for any other outside director, except with respect to the first year of service in which case any equity awards granted and cash fees paid will not exceed $1,000,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such equity awards, in each case, based on the grant date fair value of such equity awards for financial reporting purposes). Such applicable limit will include the value of any equity awards that are received in lieu of all or a portion of any annual committee cash retainers or other similar cash-based payments. Equity awards granted to an individual while he or she was serving in the capacity as an employee or while he or she was an independent contractor but not an outside director will not count for purposes of these limits.

Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. The Administrator has the discretion to determine at any time whether and to what extent the vesting of equity awards will be suspended during any leave of absence; provided that in the absence of such determination, vesting of equity awards will continue during any paid leave and will be suspended during any unpaid leave (unless otherwise required by applicable laws). A participant will not cease to be an employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the participant’s employer or (ii) transfers between our locations or between us and any of our affiliates. If an employee holds an incentive stock option and such leave exceeds three (3) months then, for purposes of incentive stock option status only, such employee’s service as an employee will be deemed terminated on the first (1^st) day following such three (3) month period and the incentive stock option will thereafter automatically be treated for tax purposes as a nonstatutory stock option in accordance with applicable laws, unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute, or unless provided otherwise pursuant to a written company policy.

In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, consolidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the shares, subdivision of the shares, a rights offering, a reorganization, merger, spin-off, split up, repurchase, or exchange of the Company’s Class A common stock or other securities of us or other significant corporate transaction, or other change affecting the Company’s Class A

common stock occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution, diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Equity Incentive Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number, kind, and class of securities that may be delivered under the Equity Incentive Plan and/or the number, class, kind, and price of securities covered by each outstanding equity award; provided that all such adjustments will be made in a manner that does not result in taxation under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).

In the event of the proposed winding up, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised or settled, an equity award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

In the event of (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, (ii) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of us with or into another corporation, entity or person, (iii) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any person becomes the beneficial owner directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our then outstanding capital stock, or (iv) a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) each outstanding equity award (vested or unvested) will be treated as the Administrator determines, which determination may provide for one or more of the following: (a) the continuation of such outstanding equity awards (if we are the surviving corporation); (b) the assumption of such outstanding equity awards by the surviving corporation or its parent; (c) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of new stock options or other equity awards for such equity awards; (d) the cancellation of such equity awards in exchange for a payment to the participants equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value of the shares subject to such equity awards as of the closing date of such corporate transaction over (2) the exercise price or purchase price paid or to be paid (if any) for the shares subject to the equity awards (which payment may be subject to the same conditions that apply to the consideration that will be paid to holders of shares in connection with the transaction, subject to applicable law); (e) the full or partial acceleration of exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of an outstanding equity award and lapse of our right to repurchase or re-acquire shares acquired under an equity award or lapse of forfeiture rights with respect to shares acquired under an equity award; (f) the opportunity for participants to exercise their stock options prior to the occurrence of the corporate transaction and the termination (for no consideration) upon the consummation of such corporate transaction of any stock options not exercised prior thereto; or (g) the cancellation of outstanding equity awards in exchange for no consideration.

An equity award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the equity award agreement for such equity award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between us or any of our affiliates and the participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur.

The Equity Incentive Plan will continue in effect unless terminated earlier under the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan. The Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Equity Incentive Plan. No incentive stock options may be granted after October 7, 2031. No awards may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan while the Equity Incentive Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an equity award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the participant, only by the participant. If the

Administrator makes an equity award transferable, such equity award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate provided, however, that in no event may any equity award be transferred for consideration to a third-party financial institution.

The Administrator may specify in an equity award agreement that the participant’s rights, payments, and/or benefits with respect to an equity award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, and/or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any applicable vesting, performance or other conditions and restrictions of an equity award. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under the Equity Incentive Plan, an equity award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan will be subject to any clawback policy as may be established and/or amended from time to time by us. The Administrator may require a participant to forfeit or return to and/or reimburse us for all or a portion of the equity award and/or shares issued under the equity award, any amounts paid under the equity award, and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the shares issued under the equity award, pursuant to the terms of such company policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws.

A participant who receives a stock option or SAR will not have taxable income upon the grant of the stock option or SAR. For nonstatutory stock options and SARs, the participant will recognize ordinary income upon exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares over the exercise price — the appreciation value — on the date of exercise. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares generally will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the shares are held for more than (1) one year.

The purchase of shares upon exercise of an incentive stock option will not result in any taxable income to the participant, except for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. Gain or loss recognized by the participant on a later sale or other disposition of the shares will be capital gain or loss and/or ordinary income depending upon whether the participant holds the shares transferred upon exercise for a specified period. If the shares are held for the specified period, any gain generally will be taxed at long-term capital-gain rates. If the shares are not held for the specified period, generally any gain up to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price will be treated as ordinary income. Any additional gain generally will be taxable at long-term or short-term capital-gain rates, depending on whether the participant held the shares for more than one year after the exercise date.

A participant who receives restricted stock will not have taxable income until vesting unless the participant timely files an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at the time of grant. The participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of vesting less the amount paid for such shares (if any) if no such election is made. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares generally will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the shares are held for more than one year. If a participant timely files a Section 83(b) election, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of purchase or grant less the amount paid for such shares (if any).

A participant who receives RSUs will not have taxable income upon grant of the equity award; instead the participant will be taxed upon settlement of the equity award. The participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares or the amount of cash received by the participant. In addition, Section 409A imposes certain restrictions on deferred compensation arrangements. Equity awards that are treated as deferred compensation under Section 409A are intended to meet the requirements of this section of the Code.

Prior to the delivery of any shares or cash pursuant to an equity award (or exercise thereof) or prior to any time the equity award or shares are subject to taxation or other tax-related items, we and/or the participant’s employer will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a participant to remit to us, an amount sufficient to satisfy any tax related items or other items that are required to be withheld or deducted or otherwise applicable with respect to such equity award.

The Administrator may, at its discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, permit a participant to satisfy such withholding or deduction obligations or any other tax-related items,

in whole or in part by (without limitation) paying cash, electing to have us withhold otherwise deliverable cash or shares, or delivering to us already-owned shares; provided that, unless the Administrator permits otherwise, any proceeds derived from a cashless exercise must be an approved broker-assisted cashless exercise or the cash or shares withheld or delivered must be limited to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance or shares must have been previously held for the minimum duration required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance. The fair market value of the shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined based on such methodology that we deem to be reasonable and in accordance with applicable laws.

We will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with an equity award under the Equity Incentive Plan only in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by the participant and at the time the participant recognizes the income. Section 162(m) of the Code places a limit of $1 million on the amount of compensation that we may deduct as a business expense in any year with respect to certain of our most highly paid executive officers. While the Administrator considers the deductibility of compensation as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Administrator retains the discretion to award and pay compensation that is not deductible as it believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to maintain flexibility in our approach to executive compensation and to structure a program that we consider to be the most effective in attracting, motivating, and retaining key employees.

Awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan will be subject to the Administrator’s discretion, subject to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, and the Committee has not determined future awards or who might receive them. As a result, the benefits that will be awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan are not currently determinable.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we granted awards under the Equity Incentive Plan to our employees (including our NEOs) and non-employee directors as reflected in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table and the 2025 Director Compensation Table, respectively, in this Proxy Statement.

Assuming a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on this Proposal is required for approval of this Equity Incentive Plan Proposal. For purposes of the approval of this Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

In 2021, the Board adopted and our stockholders approved the Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan initially authorized the issuance of up to 479 shares of Class A common stock, on a split-adjusted basis. In 2025, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan authorizing the issuance of an additional 53,222 shares of our Class A common stock, on a split-adjusted basis. At the Annual Meeting, we are seeking stockholder approval in order to amend the Equity Incentive Plan to increase the evergreen provision percentage by which the number of shares of our Class A common stock available for issuance thereunder increases each year from 3.0% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year to 5.0% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. Capitalized terms used in this Proposal 4 but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Equity Incentive Plan.

We are seeking stockholder approval of an amendment to increase the evergreen provision percentage by which the number of shares of our Class A common stock available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan increases each year from 3.0% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year to 5.0% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. As of March 31, 2026, there were approximately 84,045 shares remaining available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. In determining to propose this increase in shares, the Board has taken into consideration that the proposed increase would represent only a small percentage of the total shares of Class A common stock outstanding and the desirability and importance of being able to continue to grant awards that are comparable to those of our peer companies.

The Equity Incentive Plan is intended to (i) attract and retain the best available personnel to ensure our success and accomplish our goals; (ii) incentivize employees, directors, and independent contractors with long term equity-based compensation to align their interests with our stockholders; and (iii) promote the success of our business.

The terms of the Equity Incentive Plan are summarized herein, and the full text of the Equity Incentive Plan is set forth as Exhibit 10.5 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 18, 2021. The full text of the proposed amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan is set forth as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement. It is intended that awards under the Equity Incentive Plan will comply with or are exempt from Section 409(a) of the Code. It is further intended that any incentive stock options awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan will comply with Section 422 of the Code.

Stockholders are also being asked to approve an amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance thereunder by 500,000 shares of Class A common stock to 560,260 shares (Proposal 3). The adoption of this Proposal 4 and the adoption of Proposal 3 are not contingent upon one another.

Please see “Summary of the Equity Incentive Plan” under Proposal 3 above for a summary of the Equity Incentive Plan.

Assuming a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on this Proposal is required for approval of this Evergreen Share Proposal. For purposes of the approval of this Evergreen Share Proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

The following Proposal, also known as a “Say-on-Pay” vote, gives our stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve or not approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed below in the section entitled “Executive Compensation” of this Proxy Statement. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and our compensation philosophy, policies, and practices with respect to our Named Executive Officers. We are providing this vote as required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was added to the Exchange Act by Section 951 of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd Frank Act”). Additionally, we are asking our stockholders to vote on the frequency of this advisory vote at the Annual Meeting under Proposal 6 below.

Our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee believe that the overall design and function of the Company’s executive compensation program are appropriate and effective in aligning the interests of the Company, management, and the Company’s stockholders and that management is properly incentivized to manage the Company in a prudent manner. Accordingly, we are asking our stockholders to vote FOR the adoption of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion, and other related disclosure.”

Although the vote is non-binding, our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee value the opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this Proposal and will review and consider the outcome of the vote in connection with their ongoing evaluation of the Company’s executive compensation program.

Assuming a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on this Proposal is required for approval, on an advisory basis, of this Say-on-Pay Proposal. For purposes of the approval, on an advisory basis, of this Say-on-Pay Proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

As noted in Proposal 5 above, we are asking our stockholders to cast a non binding advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in this Proxy Statement. The Company is presenting the following Proposal 6, also known as a “say-on-frequency” vote, in accordance with SEC rules and regulations, which gives stockholders the opportunity to vote, on a non binding advisory basis, for their preference as to how frequently the Company should seek future “Say-on-Pay” advisory votes on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as set forth in Proposal 5 above. By voting with respect to this Proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer that the Company conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation every one, two, or three years.

Our Board of Directors values the opinion of our stockholders, and although this Proposal is non binding, our Board of Directors will consider the results of this vote in determining how often the Company should hold advisory “Say-on-Pay” votes on executive compensation in the future. In that regard, our Board of Directors will consider the option that receives the greatest number of votes to be the preference of our stockholders.

After careful consideration, our Board of Directors recommends that an advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers be submitted every three years. Our Board recognizes the importance of stockholder input on executive compensation and has determined that a say-on-pay vote every three years will provide our stockholders with adequate input. Our Board believes that a three-year vote cycle gives our Board sufficient time to thoughtfully consider the results of the advisory vote and implement any desired changes to our executive compensation policies and procedures, and will provide investors sufficient time to evaluate the effectiveness of our executive compensation program as it relates to the business outcomes of the Company. Finally, the three year interval will avoid the additional administrative burden on the Company of engaging in annual votes on executive compensation.

Although our Board of Directors recommends that the frequency of an advisory vote on executive compensation occur every three years, our stockholders will be given the opportunity to vote in favor of: (i) one year; (ii) two years; (iii) three years; or (iv) abstain. This advisory vote does not approve or disapprove our Named Executive Officers’ compensation but rather advises our Board of Directors on how often our stockholders prefer to vote on executive compensation. While the result of the advisory vote on this Proposal is not binding on our Board of Directors, our Board of Directors will consider the overall outcome of the vote in establishing the frequency that the advisory vote on executive compensation is submitted to our stockholders.

Pursuant to this non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on Named Executive Officer compensation, stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this Proposal on the proxy card: ONE YEAR, TWO YEARS, THREE YEARS, or ABSTAIN. The option receiving the vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be considered by the Board of Directors as the preference of the Company’s stockholders, on a non-binding, advisory basis. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted and will have no effect on the outcome of this Proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the Proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, are not counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of this Proposal.

The Company qualifies as a “smaller reporting company” under rules adopted by the SEC. Accordingly, the Company has provided scaled executive compensation disclosure that satisfies the requirements applicable to the Company in its status as a smaller reporting company. Under the scaled disclosure obligations, the Company is not required to provide, among other things, a compensation discussion and analysis or a compensation committee report, and certain other tabular and narrative disclosures relating to executive compensation.

Our named executive officers (“Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”) for 2025 were as follows:

Certain information regarding the compensation of our NEOs for 2025 is provided on the following pages.

The Summary Compensation Table below summarizes the compensation paid to, awarded to, or earned by our Chief Executive Officer and our two other most highly compensated officers for the 2025 fiscal year. The footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table set forth narrative discussions of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the table.

The following is a discussion of certain terms of the employment agreements with our NEOs that we believe are necessary to understand the information disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table.

The Company’s NEOs receive a base salary for services rendered to the Company. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role, and responsibilities.

In fiscal year 2025, Mr. Rood, Mr. Layman, and Mr. Schwarz were eligible to earn annual cash bonuses targeted at 100%, 50%, and 40%, respectively, of their respective base salaries based on their performance, as determined by the Board of Directors.

Our Compensation Committee administers our Equity Incentive Plan and approves the amount of, and terms applicable to, grants of stock options, RSUs, and other types of equity awards to employees, including the Named Executive Officers.

The Equity Incentive Plan is intended to (i) attract and retain the best available personnel to ensure our success and accomplish our goals; (ii) incentivize employees, directors, and independent contractors with long-term equity-based compensation to align their interests with our stockholders; and (iii) promote the success of our business.

The Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, RSUs, and stock bonus awards (all such types of awards, collectively, “equity awards”), although incentive stock options may only be granted to employees.

For the grant date fair values of the options and RSUs, please see the Summary Compensation Table above.

In 2025, the Company provided its NEOs with benefits intended to be competitive with market practices and to motivate them to carry out their duties with respect to the Company. Some of these benefits are provided under the NEOs’ applicable employment agreements, as described below. The amount of these benefits has been included in the Summary Compensation Table in the “All Other Compensation” column.

The Company pays the entire premiums associated with its NEOs’ medical insurance coverage; because the Company does not pay the entire premium with respect to the medical insurance coverage of employees generally, the amounts associated with the additional percentage paid by the Company have been included in the Summary Compensation Table in the “All Other Compensation” column.

The Company has established a 401(k) Plan which covers all employees. Participants may make voluntary contributions to the 401(k) Plan subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Company does not provide a matching contribution. The Company also provides other benefits to its NEOs on the same basis as provided to all of its employees, including vacation and paid holidays.

On August 1, 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Rood (the “Rood Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Rood is entitled to an annual base salary of $800,000 per year and an annual target cash incentive bonus up to $800,000. Mr. Rood is also entitled to reimbursement for his commuting (including first class airfare) and temporary housing expenses from his residence to Momentus’ headquarters, as reasonably required and a gross-up payment of any income taxes withheld on such commuting and temporary housing expenses until the fourth anniversary of his start date. Mr. Rood is eligible to participate in Momentus’ employee benefits plans maintained by Momentus and generally made available to similarly situated employees. Mr. Rood’s employment is “at-will” and may be terminated by either party at any time. Mr. Rood is entitled to severance payments and benefits upon a termination of his employment by Momentus without cause or by Mr. Rood for good reason, as are explained below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

On February 14, 2025, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Layman (the “Layman Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Layman is entitled to an annual base salary of $450,000 per year and an annual target cash incentive bonus up to $225,000. Mr. Layman is eligible to participate in Momentus’ employee benefits plans maintained by Momentus and generally made available to similarly situated employees. Mr. Layman’s employment is “at-will” and may be terminated by either party at any time. Mr. Layman is entitled to severance payments and benefits upon a termination of his employment by Momentus without cause or by Mr. Layman for good reason, as are explained below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Under the Rood Employment Agreement, if Mr. Rood’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Rood for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Rood Employment Agreement) and Mr. Rood executes a release of claims, Mr. Rood will be entitled to (i) the aggregate amount

of his base salary and target annual bonus, payable over a 12-month period from the date of his termination; (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to his prorated annual bonus for the fiscal year during which Mr. Rood is terminated, based on actual performance; (iii) reimbursements equal to the portion of the monthly health premiums paid by Momentus on his behalf and that of his eligible dependents immediately preceding the date that his employment terminates until the earlier of (a) 12 months following the date of termination and (b) the date that Mr. Rood and his eligible dependents become ineligible for COBRA coverage; and (iv) his outstanding unvested equity awards will vest as to that number of shares or units that would have vested had Mr. Rood remained employed until the 12-month anniversary of his termination date.

In addition, the Rood Employment Agreement provides that if Mr. Rood’s employment is so terminated in the period beginning three (3) months prior to and ending twenty-four (24) months following a “change in control” (as defined in the Rood Employment Agreement) and Mr. Rood executes a release of claims, he will be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum payment in the aggregate amount of eighteen (18) months of his base salary plus one and one-half (1.5) times his target annual bonus, (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to 150% of his prorated annual bonus for the fiscal year during which Mr. Rood is terminated based on actual performance, (iii) reimbursements equal to the portion of the monthly health premiums paid by Momentus on his and his eligible dependents’ behalf immediately preceding the date that his employment terminates until the earlier of (a) eighteen (18) months following the date of termination and (b) that date that Mr. Rood and his eligible dependents become ineligible for COBRA coverage, and (iv) his outstanding unvested equity awards subject to time vesting will vest in full; provided, that, if Mr. Rood remains employed through the consummation of the change in control and the successor to the Company or any affiliate of such successor does not agree to assume, substitute, or otherwise continue such equity awards at the time of the change in control, his equity awards will vest in full immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the consummation of such change in control.

Under the Layman Employment Agreement, if Mr. Layman’s employment is terminated by Momentus without “cause” or by Mr. Layman for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Layman Employment Agreement) and Mr. Layman executes a release of claims, Mr. Layman will be entitled to (i) the aggregate amount of his base salary and target annual bonus, payable over a 6-month period from the date of his termination; (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to his prorated annual bonus for the fiscal year during which Mr. Layman is terminated, based on actual performance; and (iii) his outstanding unvested equity awards will vest in full; provided, that, if Mr. Layman remains employed through the consummation of a “change in control” (as defined in the Layman Employment Agreement) and if the successor to the Company or any affiliate of such successor does not agree to assume, substitute or otherwise continue such equity awards at the time of the change in control, his equity awards will vest in full immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the consummation of such change in control.

The following table provides information about the number of outstanding equity awards held by our NEOs on December 31, 2025, as adjusted for the 1-for-17.85 reverse stock split which occurred on December 17, 2025.

In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table above.

The Company adopted a non-employee director compensation policy to govern the Board. The policy is designed to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors by providing competitive compensation and align their interests with the interests of stockholders through equity awards. It will cover the compensation of all roles on the Board.

Specifically, the policy provides for the following annual cash retainers, which will be payable quarterly in arrears and pro-rated for partial quarters of service:

Non-employee directors will receive annual RSU grants under the Equity Incentive Plan on the date of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders which will vest, subject to continuous service through the applicable vesting date:

The vesting of the RSU grants will accelerate in full if the non-employee director remains in continuous service until immediately prior to such director’s: (i) death, (ii) “disability,” or (iii) the closing of a “change in control” transaction (as “disability” and “change in control” are defined in the Equity Incentive Plan).

To avoid adverse tax consequences to non-employee directors who reside outside of the United States, the Board, in its sole discretion, may provide for non-statutory stock options of equal value in lieu of RSU grants, which will have a term of ten (10) years from the date of grant and an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the fair market value of the underlying Class A common stock on the date of grant. All other terms and conditions that apply to RSU grants under the non-employee director compensation policy will apply to such options.

If permitted by the Company, a non-employee director may elect to defer cash retainers and/or RSU awards prior to being earned into deferred stock units of the Company, which shall settle upon the earlier to occur of the director’s “separation from service” as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 409A of the Code or the date determined by the Company.

The Company will reimburse each non-employee director for ordinary, necessary and reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses to cover in-person attendance at, and participation in, Board and committee meetings, provided they are reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s travel and expense policy.

The following table provides information about the compensation of directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. John C. Rood is compensated outside of the director compensation framework, as specified further in “Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table.”

The following table sets forth certain information known to us regarding the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock as of March 26, 2026 for each of our NEOs, executive officers, directors, all executive officers and directors as a group and each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Class A common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she, or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes securities that the individual or entity has the right to acquire, such as through the exercise of warrants or stock options or the vesting of RSUs, within 60 days of March 26, 2026. Class A common stock subject to warrants or options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 26, 2026 or subject to RSUs that vest within 60 days of March 26, 2026 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding such warrants, options or RSUs for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as noted by footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, based on the information provided to us, we believe that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise noted, the business address of each of our directors and executive officers is c/o Momentus Inc., 1762 Automation Parkway, San Jose, California 95131. The percentage of beneficial ownership of our shares of Class A common stock is calculated based on 5,641,506 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of March 26, 2026.

Compensation arrangements with our NEOs and directors are described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” for information regarding the ownership of our securities held by our control persons.
