•In January 2025, we engaged a large national advisory firm to assist in the design and implementation of control activities and to strengthen the skills of personnel involved in the business processes supporting the Company’s significant accounts and disclosures. As of September 2025, walkthroughs and operating effectiveness testing have commenced for all processes within IT and Finance walkthroughs are underway as well.

In addition to the remedial actions taken to date, our ongoing efforts include:

•Our new leadership team, together with other senior executives, is committed to achieving and maintaining a strong control environment, high ethical standards, and financial reporting integrity. This commitment has been and will continue to be communicated to and reinforced with Evolv employees and external stakeholders;

•The development and communication of a framework that will serve as a set of guiding principles emphasizing our commitment to accounting and financial reporting integrity as well as transparency and robust and complete communications with, and disclosures to, the Board of Directors and external auditors;

•We continue to reinforce the importance of communication between the sales, accounting and finance departments regarding key terms of, and changes or modifications to, sales transactions, including by establishing controls requiring finance department approval of certain non-standard terms;

•We are designing a new deal review policy and process, including enhanced certification by the Sales team of terms and conditions, to ensure proper communication to the accounting and finance departments to allow for an effective review of the accounting for the transactions;

•Over the past year, we implemented controls related to, among other items, (i) the period-end financial reporting process and classification of various accounts in our consolidated financial statements, including the presentation and disclosure of items in the consolidated statements of cash flows, (ii) timely identification and accounting for non-routine, unusual and complex transactions, including controls over the preparation and review of accounting memoranda addressing these matters, (iii) revenue recognition, including non-routine complex revenue transactions that may also include the leasing of products and the recording of revenue transactions in the appropriate period, (iv) completeness and accuracy of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and (v) completeness, accuracy, valuation, and classification of cash equivalents and marketable securities. We are in the process of designing and implementing controls over the preparation and review of journal entries and account reconciliations to ensure proper segregation of duties;

•We are in the process of creating and maintaining formal accounting policies, procedures and controls to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures;
