401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past ten years, except that we are aware of several non-material claims alleging unpaid fees under ordinary course vendor or contractor agreements. Board Composition and Election of Directors Our board of directors currently consists of seven members. Under our amended and restated bylaws, the number of directors will be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Director Independence Nasdaq listing rules require that a majority of the board of directors of a company listed on Nasdaq be composed of “independent directors,” which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Company’s Board has determined that each of Douglas Maine, Kanishka Roy, Gary Cohen and Alan Black is an independent director under the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. In making these determinations, the Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director had with Veea and has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances the Board deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each non-employee director. Classified Board of Directors In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, our board of directors is divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. 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 election. Our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

 Class I directors are Gary Cohen and Michael Salmasi, and their terms will expire at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders; |

 Class II directors are Douglas Maine, Helder Antunes, and Alan Black, and their terms will expire at our 2026 Annual Meeting, and |

 Class III directors are Allen Salmasi and Kanishka Roy, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2027. |
