 our previously issued consolidated financial statements and other financial data. The findings of the ad hoc committee were extremely disappointing to me and my fellow directors. The Board responded swiftly and decisively, taking immediate corrective actions, including necessary personnel changes. In addition, we are in the process of implementing enhanced financial controls to ensure timely and accurate reporting and are making improvements to our corporate governance framework.

I am pleased to report that Evolv is now in full compliance with all SEC reporting and Nasdaq listing requirements. With these challenges behind us, I am confident that Evolv is better positioned than ever for growth and success.

Over the past few months, we have strengthened our foundation by streamlining our workforce and enhancing our leadership team with the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, General Counsel, and several new accounting and sales leaders.

Evolv’s new President and Chief Executive Officer, John Kedzierski, has extensive, impressive and highly relevant experience in leading high-growth security and technology businesses, including for Motorola Solutions, Inc. In the short period since becoming our CEO, John has imparted a heightened sense of discipline and urgency across the organization. The whole team is energized and has a renewed focus on delivering value for customers and maximizing returns for stockholders.

We have also augmented the Board with the appointment of Richard Shapiro, who has extensive public company and capital markets experience. Richard was recommended to us by one of our stockholders, highlighting the value of our extensive and ongoing engagement with Evolv’s stockholders. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to continuing our dialogue with you in 2025.

As a Board, we are committed to providing diligent oversight of Evolv’s strategy and its execution. Although 2024 tested our resilience, I am confident and excited about the potential opportunity ahead with our new leadership team. The best is yet to come.

On behalf of the Board, I extend my deepest gratitude for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Neil Glat

Chair of the Board of Directors
Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc.
