Item 8.01 Other Events.

Issuance of Certain Earnout Shares

As previously disclosed, the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 7, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Photon Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Photon Merger Sub Two, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Planet Labs Inc. (“Legacy Planet”), contemplated the potential issuance of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ( “Class B Common Stock”) to former qualifying securityholders of Legacy Planet (such shares, the “Contingent Consideration”). The Contingent Consideration of up to 27 million shares of common stock of the Company could be earned in four equal tranches (x) if the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00, $17.00, $19.00 and $21.00, over any 20 trading days within any 30 day trading period prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”) or (y) if the Company consummates a change of control transaction that entitles its stockholders to receive a per share consideration of at least $15.00, $17.00, $19.00 and $21.00. Any right to Contingent Consideration that remains unvested on the first business day after five years from Closing will be forfeited without any further consideration.

On February 3, 2026 the Company issued an aggregate of 5,171,222 shares (the “Class A Shares”) of Class A Common Stock and 584,054 shares (the “Class B Shares” and, together with the Class A Shares, the “Earnout Shares”) of Class B Common Stock as a result of the closing price of the Class A Common Stock equaling or exceeding $21.00 for 20 out of 30 trading days preceding the issuance of the Earnout Shares. Following such issuance, no further Contingent Consideration is due to Company stockholders.

All newly issued Class A Shares confer the same rights as all other outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. All newly issued Class B Shares confer the same rights as all other outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, including conferring 20 votes per share of Class B Common Stock and being subject to certain transfer restrictions and sunset provisions, each as more fully described in the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

Following the issuance of the Earnout Shares on February 3, 2026, the Company had 317,596,228 shares of Class A Common Stock and 23,493,796 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.

Partial Vesting of Sponsor Earnout Securities

Additionally, pursuant to the Lockup Agreement, dated December 7, 2021 (the “Lockup Agreement”), by and among the Company, dMY Sponsor IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and the Stockholder Parties (as defined in the Lockup Agreement), the Sponsor agreed that 862,500 shares of Class A Common Stock (“Sponsor Earnout Shares”) and 2,966,667 warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock (“Sponsor Earnout Warrants”), in each case held by the Sponsor immediately following Closing, would be unvested and vest in four equal tranches when the closing price of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00, $17.00, $19.00 and $21.00, respectively, over any 20 trading days within any 30 day trading period prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing. The Sponsor Earnout Securities that remain unvested on the first business day after five years from Closing will be cancelled by New Planet and will no longer be issued and outstanding.

The vesting condition has been satisfied with respect to all of the Sponsor Earnout Shares and all of the Sponsor Earnout Warrants as a result of the closing price of the Class A Common Stock equaling or exceeding $15.00, $17.00, $19.00, and $21.00 for 20 out of 30 trading days.
