### LETTER FROM CEO
April 30, 2025

#### Dear Fellow Stockholders,
As I write my first letter to you as President and Chief Executive Officer of Evolv Technology, I do so with a deep sense of responsibility, commitment, and optimism. In the relatively brief time I have been with the company, I have witnessed firsthand the passion of our customers, partners, and employees. This dedication to making the world a safer place through advanced, artificial intelligence-based security solutions remains the driving force behind everything we do. It has never been more critical as we enter a new chapter of growth.

#### Executing on Our Growth Strategy
Despite significant headwinds brought on by a now resolved inquiry by the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and a restatement of our financial results for certain prior periods, we made meaningful strides across the Company in 2024
