Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock. The RSUs are granted pursuant to the BlackSky Technology Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan which vest in full upon the earlier of the one (1) year anniversary of the award date or the day prior to the Issuer's next annual meeting of the stockholders and in each case subject to David DiDomenico remaining a director through each vesting date.

JANA and Barry Rosenstein each disclaim any beneficial ownership of any of the Issuer's securities reported herein except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interest therein.

Remarks: David DiDomenico is a partner of JANA. JANA may be deemed to be a director by deputization for purposes of Section 16 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the fact that Mr. DiDomenico currently serves on the board of directors of the Issuer.
