The nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors (the "Committee") determined that Mr. Reese has the qualifications, qualities, skills, and other expertise for membership on our board of directors and recommended that he be elected as a Class II Director by the stockholders. Mr. Reese was recommended for consideration as a director to the Committee by non-management directors of the Company following retention of a search firm to assist in the search for qualified candidates. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Reese and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director or nominee.

Mr. Reese will be entitled to the normal fees paid to our non-management directors for service on our board of directors. The Company will also enter into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Reese in the same form that the Company has entered into with other non-management directors.

Raymond; and the current Class III directors are Kristen Robinson, Carl Bass and Ita Brennan. Scott Reese will serve as a Class II Director, effective as of the Effective Date. The division of our Board into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of the Company.

**Role of Board in Risk Oversight**

The board of directors has extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to the Company and its business and accomplishes this oversight through the regular reporting to the board of directors by the audit committee. The audit committee represents the board of directors by periodically reviewing the Company's accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of its financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls and its compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, internal audit and information technology functions, the audit committee reviews and discusses all significant areas of the Company's business and summarizes for the board of directors all areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors. In addition, the board of directors receives periodic detailed operating performance reviews from management, including from our management risk committee, which includes members of our executive leadership and is led by our general counsel and our president and chief financial officer.

**Board Leadership Structure**

Our board of directors recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide effective oversight of management. Our corporate governance guidelines provide that the independent directors of our board of directors may elect a lead independent director if the chairperson of the board of directors is a member of management, or does not otherwise qualify as independent. Our board of directors currently believes that our existing leadership structure, under which our Chief Executive Officer, William Marshall, serves as chairperson of our board of directors and Carl Bass serves as lead independent director, is effective, as it enhances the independent oversight of management and management's performance and strengthens the objectivity of the board of directors. Our board of directors will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate.

Carl Bass, as our lead independent director, presides over executive sessions at each meeting of the board of directors.

**Director Independence**

Our board of directors makes all determinations with respect to director independence in accordance with Planet's corporate governance guidelines, the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. The actual determination of whether a director is independent is made by our board of directors on a case-by-case basis, by considering transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Our board of directors has determined that, except for William Marshall, our Chief Executive Officer, and Robert Schingler, Jr., our Chief Strategy Officer, none of our current directors, individuals who have served as a director during any part of the last completed fiscal year, or our director nominees have a material relationship with our Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us), and each of these individuals is independent. In making its determination, our board of directors applied the NYSE corporate governance standards and SEC rules and regulations.

**Family Relationships**

There are no "family relationships" (as defined in Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K) among any of our executive officers, directors, or our director nominees.

**Code of Business Conduct and Ethics**

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, which is available on our website at investors.planet.com under the "Governance" tab. Our code of business conduct and ethics is a "code of ethics", as defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. Please note that our Internet website address is provided as an inactive textual reference only. We will make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of its code of ethics on our Internet website.

**Corporate Governance Guidelines**

We have adopted corporate governance guidelines that apply to all of our directors to assist in exercising their responsibilities. Our corporate governance guidelines are available on our website at investors.planet.com under the "Governance" tab. Please note that our Internet website address is provided as an inactive textual reference only.

**Meetings of Board of Directors and Attendance**

Members of our board of directors are expected to regularly prepare for and attend meetings of the board of directors and committees on which they sit. A director who is unable to attend a meeting of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors is expected to notify the chairperson of the board of directors or the chairperson of the appropriate committee in advance of such meeting, and, whenever possible, participate in such meeting via teleconference in the case of an in-person meeting. During fiscal year 2025, there were four meetings of our board of directors. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the board of directors (held during the period for which such person was a director) and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the board of directors on which such person served (during the periods that such person served). Members of our board of directors are encouraged to attend annual meetings of stockholders; however, we do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings. Four of our directors attended the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.

**Board Committees**

The standing committees of our board of directors consist of an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The board of directors may from time to time establish other committees. The composition and functions of each committee are described below.

Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our board of directors. Each of our audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating and corporate governance committee have adopted a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE corporate governance standards, which are available on our website at investors.planet.com under the "Governance" tab.

Our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers regularly report to the non-executive directors and the audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees to ensure effective and efficient oversight of our activities and to assist in proper risk management and the ongoing evaluation of management controls. We believe that the leadership structure of our board of directors provides appropriate risk oversight of Planet's activities given the controlling interests held by our founders, William Marshall and Robert Schingler, Jr. (the "Planet Founders").

**Audit Committee**

Our audit committee currently consists of Ita Brennan, who is serving as the chairperson, Gary B. Smith, and Kristen Robinson. Following the Effective Date, Scott Reese will serve on the audit committee and Kristen Robinson will no longer serve on the committee. Each member of the audit committee qualifies as an independent director under the NYSE corporate governance standards and the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Our board of directors has determined that Ita Brennan qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and possesses financial sophistication, as defined under the rules of the NYSE.

The purpose of the audit committee is to prepare the audit committee report required by the SEC to be included in our proxy statement and to assist the board of directors in overseeing and monitoring (1) the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company's financial statements; (2) the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, including risk assessments; (3) the selection, engagement terms, qualifications, independence and performance of the Company's independent registered public accounting firms; and (4) the performance of the Company's internal audit function.

The board of directors previously adopted a written charter for the audit committee, which is available on our website at investors.planet.com under the "Governance" tab. During fiscal year 2025, the audit committee met six times.

**Compensation Committee**

Our compensation committee consists of Kristen Robinson, who is serving as the chairperson, and Vijaya Gadde. The purpose of the compensation committee is to oversee the performance of the responsibilities of the board of directors relating to compensation of Planet's executive officers and directors. In furtherance of this purpose, the compensation committee assists the board of directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to (1) establishing the Company's compensation philosophy and strategy and overseeing the Company's long-term and short-term compensation and other benefit programs, (2) setting the compensation of its executive officers, (3) reviewing and approving our incentive compensation and equity-based plans and arrangements, (4) recommending to the board of directors compensation of directors, (5) overseeing succession planning for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officer roles and (6) preparing the compensation committee report, as required, to be included in our proxy statement under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The board of directors previously adopted a written charter for the compensation committee, which is available on our website at investors.planet.com under the "Governance" tab. During fiscal year 2025, the compensation committee met six times.

**Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee**

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Vijaya Gadde, who is serving as the chairperson, and John W. Raymond. The purpose of the nominating and corporate governance committee is to carry out the responsibilities delegated by the board of directors relating to the Company's director nomination processes and procedures, and develop and oversee the Company's corporate governance policies. In furtherance of this purpose, the nominating and corporate governance committee will (1) determine the qualifications, qualities, skills and other expertise required to serve as a director and develop criteria to be considered in selecting nominees for director, (2) establish and maintain procedures for submission of stockholder nominees and proposals, (3) review and make recommendations regarding the composition and size of the board of directors and its committees, (4) develop and recommend corporate governance guidelines and oversee other corporate governance practices, (5) oversee director orientation and education and the annual self-evaluation of the board of directors and (6) oversee the Company's policies and programs relating to corporate responsibility.

The board of directors previously adopted a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee, which is available on our website at investors.planet.com under the "Governance" tab. During fiscal year 2025, our nominating and corporate governance committee met four times.

**Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees**

The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for identifying and reviewing the qualifications, qualities, skills and other expertise of potential director candidates and recommending to our board of directors those candidates to be nominated for election to our board of directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee will identify and evaluate potential members of the board of directors to ensure the board of directors has requisite expertise and consists of individuals with sufficiently independent backgrounds.

To facilitate the search process for director candidates, the nominating and corporate governance committee may solicit our current directors and executives for the names of potentially qualified candidates or may ask directors and executives to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The nominating and corporate governance committee also consults with outside advisors and retains search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates, and may also consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the nominating and corporate governance committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates' independence from us and potential conflicts of interest, and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the nominating and corporate governance committee of candidates for election as director.

In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in evaluating the suitability of individual candidates, the nominating and corporate governance committee may take into account many factors, including: personal and professional integrity; strong ethics and values; the ability to make mature business judgments; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; experience as a board member of another publicly held company; professional and academic experience relevant to the Company's industry; the strength of the candidate's leadership skills; experience in finance and accounting and/or executive compensation practices; whether the candidate has the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at board of director and committee meetings; diversity of experience, qualifications and skills; and any other relevant qualifications, attributes or skills. The board of directors evaluates each individual in the context of our board of directors as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and balance the pecuniary interests of stockholders, the best interests of those materially affected by the Company's conduct and the Company's public benefit through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the nominating and corporate governance committee may also consider the director's past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the board of directors.

In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

**Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

No member of the compensation committee was at any time during fiscal year 2025, or at any other time, one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers has served as a director or member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of our board or member of our compensation committee.

**Insider Trading Compliance Policy** 

We have adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers, employees and other covered persons (the "Insider Trading Compliance Policy"). We believe this policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the exchange listing standards applicable to us. A copy of the Insider Trading Compliance Policy was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report"). From time to time, we may engage in transactions in our own securities. We comply with all applicable securities laws when engaging in transactions in our securities.

**Anti-Hedging Policy** 

Our Insider Trading Compliance Policy prohibits our directors, officers and employees and any entities they control directly or indirectly from purchasing financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company's equity securities, or that may cause an officer, director, or employee to no longer have the same objectives as the Company's other stockholders.

**Communications From Stockholders and Interested Parties** 

Anyone who would like to communicate with, or otherwise make his or her concerns known directly to our board of directors, the Chairperson of our board of directors, our lead independent director, the chairperson of any of the audit, nominating and corporate governance, and compensation committees, or to the independent directors as a group, may do so by addressing such communications or concerns to the Company Secretary, 645 Harrison Street, Floor 4, San Francisco, California 94107, who will forward such communications to the appropriate party.

Such communications may be done confidentially or anonymously.

**Delaware Public Benefit Corporation and Dual Class Structure**

Planet is a Delaware public benefit corporation ("PBC"). Under Delaware law, a PBC is required to identify in its certificate of incorporation the public benefit or benefits it will promote, and its directors have a duty to manage the affairs of the corporation in a manner that balances the pecuniary interests of the stockholders, the best interests of stakeholders materially affected by the corporation's conduct, and the specific public benefit or public benefits identified in the corporation's certificate of incorporation. Our mission and business model are aligned with our public benefit purpose, which is: "to accelerate humanity toward a more sustainable, secure, and prosperous world, by illuminating the most important forms of environmental and social change."

In addition to being a PBC, Planet maintains a dual class share structure that Planet feels strengthens our founders' ability to focus on our public benefit purpose without the risk of challenges by hostile takeovers or other actions that could be focused

**DIRECTOR COMPENSATION**

The following disclosure in this section entitled "Director Compensation" originally appeared in our proxy statement with respect to our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, as filed with the SEC on May 29, 2025 (the "2025 Proxy Statement"), and, in accordance with SEC regulations, describes our compensation program for fiscal year 2025.

**Outside Director Compensation Policy**

We maintain a compensation policy for our non-employee directors, or the "Outside Director Compensation Policy." Commencing with fiscal year 2023, our non-employee directors were eligible to receive certain cash compensation and equity awards under the Outside Director Compensation Policy.

On May 31, 2024, our board of directors, upon recommendation of our compensation committee in consultation with FW Cook, our compensation committee's independent compensation consultant, amended the Outside Director Compensation Policy, effective July 11, 2024, to, among other things, (i) reduce the annual cash retainer for service on the board of directors from $150,000 to $75,000, (ii) reduce the value of the initial equity award granted to directors from $200,000 to $175,000, and (iii) reduce the value of the annual equity award granted to directors from $200,000 to $175,000.

The material terms of the Outside Director Compensation Policy as in effect as of the end of fiscal year 2025 are summarized below.

***Cash Compensation***

Under the Outside Director Compensation Policy, our non-employee directors are entitled to the following cash retainers for their service on our board of directors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual Retainer: $75,000

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the non-employee director serves as the lead independent director or as chairperson of a committee, an additional annual retainer as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Lead Independent Director: $25,000

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Chairperson of Audit Committee: $20,000

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Chairperson of Compensation Committee: $12,000

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Chairperson of Nominating and Governance Committee: $8,000

Annual cash retainers are generally paid in quarterly installments in arrears and are pro-rated for any partial quarter of service. In addition, reasonable, customary and documented expenses for travel to board meetings are eligible to be reimbursed by the Company.

***Equity Compensation***

Under the Outside Director Compensation Policy, our non-employee directors are entitled to the following equity awards for their service on our board of directors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Initial Award: Each non-employee director who is initially elected or appointed to serve as a non-employee director of our board of directors will automatically be granted an RSU award with a value equal to $175,000, multiplied by the fraction obtained by dividing (i) the number of days during the period beginning on the date the individual first becomes a non-employee director and ending on the one-year anniversary of the date of the most recent annual meeting of our stockholders to occur prior to the grant date by (ii) 365 (the "Initial Award").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual Award: Each non-employee director who is serving on our board of directors as of the date of the annual meeting of our stockholders each calendar year will automatically be granted an RSU award with a value equal to $175,000 (the "Annual Award").

An individual who first becomes a non-employee director on the date of an annual meeting of our stockholders receives the full value of the Initial Award without proration but does not also receive an Annual Award on such date. Each Initial Award and each Annual Award will vest in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the one-year anniversary of the applicable grant date and (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of our stockholders following the grant date, subject to the applicable director's continued service on the board as a non-employee director through the applicable vesting date. In addition, each outstanding Initial Award and Annual Award will vest in full upon a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Company's 2021 Incentive Award Plan), subject to the applicable director's continued service on the board as a non-employee director until at least immediately prior to the change in control.

***Compensation Elections***

Each non-employee director has the opportunity to elect, on or prior to December 31st of the calendar year immediately prior to the calendar year in which the next annual meeting occurs, to receive up to the entire amount of his or her annual

cash retainer for the period commencing on the date of such next annual meeting in the form of an award of RSUs of equivalent value. Any such award of RSUs will be granted at the same time as the Annual Award and will vest in four equal installments on each of September 15, December 15, March 15, and June 15 following the grant date, subject to the applicable director's continued service on the board through the applicable vesting date.

***Minimum Stock Ownership***

As discussed further above in the section entitled "Other Elements of our Executive Compensation – Stock Ownership Guidelines," effective May 26, 2023, our board adopted stock ownership guidelines that are applicable to our named executive officers as well as our non-employee directors. The guidelines expect for each non-employee director to attain ownership of our common stock with an aggregate fair market value equal to at least three times his or her annual cash retainer (excluding retainers for committee membership or chairmanship) within five years of first becoming subject to the guidelines.

**Fiscal Year 2025 Director Compensation Table**

The table below sets forth the compensation earned by our non-employee directors, including cash compensation and equity awards, for their service on our board of directors in fiscal year 2025.

Actual compensation programs that we adopt in the future may differ materially from the current programs summarized in this discussion.

**Executive Summary**

***Total Rewards Philosophy and Objectives***

The compensation committee has worked with its independent compensation consultant and our management to design our executive total rewards program, with the following objectives:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide overall compensation to our executives that is aligned to our strategic goals and is externally competitive while maintaining internal parity and rewarding performance without excessive risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Enable us to attract, engage, and retain mission-driven, highly talented executives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Align the interests of our executives with our stockholders to best drive our growing organization in support of our mission.

Our compensation programs provide our named executive officers with a mix of fixed annual pay, short-term variable pay, long-term compensation, and benefits without target allocations for the different components.

Our compensation committee, with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant and our management, periodically reviews and analyzes market trends and adjusts the design and operation of our executive compensation program from time to time as it deems necessary and appropriate. While the compensation committee considers a multitude of factors in its deliberations, it places no formal weighting on any one factor. As we continue to evolve and grow as a public company, the compensation committee intends to evaluate our executive compensation program to ensure that it continues to align with our total rewards philosophy and objectives and fuels the future growth of the Company.

***Fiscal Year 2025 Executive Compensation Highlights***

Consistent with our total rewards philosophy, key compensation decisions by our compensation committee for fiscal year 2025 included the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Base Salaries and Target Annual Cash Incentive Opportunities.** The fiscal year 2025 base salaries for our named executive officers remained level or, in the case of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Strategy Officer, were decreased voluntarily by 20% as we explored cost savings measures firmwide, as described further below. The fiscal year 2025 target bonuses for our named executive officers remained constant as a percentage of base salary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Annual Bonus Incentives.** For fiscal year 2025, our compensation committee selected performance goals for our performance-based annual bonus plan that were intended to promote our business plan and short-term goals. Under the bonus plan, bonuses were earned by all participating employees (including our named executive officers) for fiscal year 2025 based on attainment of the following Company performance metrics during the relevant performance period: (1) GAAP revenue and (2) adjusted EBITDA (each as defined in our 2025 Annual Report). Based on our financial results against each of the performance goals during fiscal year 2025, our compensation committee determined to pay out annual bonuses at 115% of target for each of our named executive officers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Equity Compensation**. In fiscal year 2025, we granted equity-based compensation to each of our named executive officers in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). We believe that RSUs encourage an ownership mentality, promote closer alignment of the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders, and provide incentive to achieve our business goals in support of our mission. We also continued to permit the Company's named executive officers to elect to receive all of their annual bonus under our performance-based annual bonus plan in the form of performance-vesting restricted stock units ("PSUs") in lieu of cash.

**Executive Compensation Process**

***Role of our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors***

Our compensation committee is responsible for establishing and overseeing our executive compensation programs and annually reviews and determines the compensation to be provided to our named executive officers, except that our Chief Executive Officer's compensation from time to time is recommended by our compensation committee and approved by our board of directors.

In setting executive compensation, the compensation committee considers a number of factors, including the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to the Chief Executive Officer's own compensation) and our people team, current and past total compensation, competitive market data and analysis provided by the compensation committee's independent compensation consultant, Company performance and each executive's impact on that performance, each executive's relative scope of responsibility and potential, each executive's individual performance and demonstrated leadership, and internal pay equity considerations. In fiscal year 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Strategy Officer voluntarily recommended decreases to their own salaries, as discussed further below.

Our Chief Executive Officer's recommendations are based on his evaluation of each other named executive officer's individual performance and contributions, of which our Chief Executive Officer has direct knowledge. Our compensation committee, or the board of directors upon recommendation of the compensation committee, makes decisions regarding our Chief Executive Officer's compensation.

***Role of Compensation Consultant***

In order to design a competitive executive compensation program that will continue to attract top executive talent and reflect our total rewards philosophy, our compensation committee has retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. ("FW Cook") as an independent compensation consultant to provide executive compensation advisory services, help evaluate our compensation philosophy and objectives and provide guidance in administering our executive compensation program. The compensation committee has evaluated FW Cook's independence pursuant to the requirements of NYSE and SEC rules and has determined that FW Cook is independent and does not have any conflicts of interest in advising the compensation committee.

***Role of Management***

Our Chief Executive Officer provides recommendations to the compensation committee for the annual compensation of each of the other named executive officers, including based on his assessment of each such executive officer's performance. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief People Officer assist the compensation committee chairperson with setting agendas and preparing materials for compensation committee meetings and generally attend meetings or portions of meetings, as appropriate. However, no executive officer is present in compensation committee meetings when matters related to his or her individual compensation are under discussion, when the compensation committee is approving or deliberating on Chief Executive Officer compensation, or when the compensation committee meets in executive sessions.

***Fiscal Year 2025 Peer Group***

While the compensation committee does not establish compensation levels based solely on the review of market data, such data is presented to the compensation committee and used to ensure our compensation policies and practices will help us attract and retain qualified employees. In consultation with FW Cook, in November 2023, our compensation committee selected our fiscal year 2025 peer group as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Agilysys, Inc. | Everbridge, Inc. | Olo Inc. |
| Cardlytics, Inc. | Fastly, Inc. | PagerDuty, Inc. |
| Cerence Inc. | InterDigital, Inc. | SecureWorks Corp. |
| Couchbase, Inc. | LivePerson, Inc. | TechTarget, Inc. |
| Digital Turbine, Inc. | Mitek Systems, Inc. | Yext, Inc. |
| Domo, Inc. | Model N, Inc. | Zuora, Inc. |

---

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **PLANET LABS PBC** | **INFORMATION STATEMENT** | **17** |

---

------

The companies in this compensation peer group were selected on the basis of their similarity to us in terms of industry, talent competitors, and financial characteristics, as determined using the following criteria:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• headquartered in the United States and traded on a major stock exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• similar size (approximately 1/2x – 4x of the Company's), as measured by revenue and market capitalization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• similar industry (Application and Systems Software, Data Processing and Outsourced Services, and Interactive Media and Services), business model and/or product; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• preference for companies that completed initial public offerings prior to 2022 to ensure at least two years of disclosed public company pay practices.

The compensation committee reviews our compensation peer group typically on an annual basis and makes adjustments to its composition when necessary or appropriate, taking into account changes in both our business and the businesses of the companies in the peer group.

***Fiscal Year 2026 Peer Group***

In consultation with FW Cook, in December 2024, after our compensation committee made its fiscal year 2025 executive compensation determinations, our compensation committee selected our fiscal year 2026 peer group as follows, making deletions (namely, Model N, Inc. and Everbridge, Inc. (acquired in June 2024 and July 2024, respectively) and InterDigital, Inc. (having a market capitalization considered too high for inclusion)) and an addition (PROS Holdings, Inc., which met substantially all of the applicable criteria), in order to better align the group to the aforementioned criteria:

| Couchbase, Inc. | Olo Inc. | Yext, Inc. |
| Digital Turbine, Inc. | PagerDuty, Inc. | Zuora, Inc. |
| Domo, Inc. | | |

***Continuing Review of Compensation Practices and Compensation Risk Assessment***

We intend to continue to review our compensation practices and programs and to consider changes as the compensation committee deems appropriate to meet our compensation goals.

Additionally, our compensation committee and senior management assessed whether our compensation practices and programs for our named executive officers and other employees for fiscal year 2025 pose any material risk to us and determined that our compensation practices and programs for fiscal year 2025 are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

The compensation committee monitors our compensation programs and expects to make future modifications as necessary to address any changes in our business or risk profile, specifically, as we continue to evolve and grow our total rewards philosophy and objectives as a public company.

***Role of Advisory Votes on Named Executive Officer Compensation***

We held a vote to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (commonly referred to as a "say-on-pay" vote) at our annual meeting in 2025. At that meeting, our stockholders approved the compensation of our named executive officers, with approximately 97% of stockholder votes cast at that meeting (not including broker non-votes) being in favor of our say-on-pay resolution. In designing our executive compensation program, our compensation committee has considered the results of these say-on-pay votes and has accordingly maintained our general approach to our executive compensation program.

**Executive Compensation Elements**

The key elements of our executive compensation program during fiscal year 2025 were:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Compensation Element** | **Basis** | **Purpose** |
| **Base Salary** | • Individual performance<br>• Expected future performance and contributions <br>• Level of experience, position, duties and responsibility<br>• Relevant competitive market data | • Attracts talent and promotes retention <br>• Provides a reasonable degree of financial certainty and stability to our executives<br>• Accurately reflects the executive's respective position, duties and responsibilities <br>• Discourages inappropriate risk taking |
| **Annual Bonus and Equity Election Program** | • GAAP Revenue (weighted 60%); and <br>• Adjusted EBITDA (weighted 40%) | • Promotes short-term performance objectives and rewards executives for their contributions toward achieving those objectives<br>• Links pay to company performance<br>• Encourages executives to align their interests more closely with those of our stockholders by providing equity election opportunity |
| **Equity Based Long-Term Incentive Compensation** | • Individual performance and contributions <br>• In the form of time-vesting RSUs which vest quarterly over four years | • Promotes retention and links pay to performance<br>• More closely aligns executives' interests with those of our stockholders <br>• Promotes the creation and maintenance of long-term financial and operational performance |

---

In addition, our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our health and welfare programs and our 401(k) plan on the same basis as our other employees. Our named executive officers are also eligible for certain severance payments and accelerated vesting of equity under our severance plan (as described below), which aids in attracting and retaining executive talent and help executives to remain focused and dedicated during potential transition periods, including those that may be due to a change in control. Each of these elements of compensation for fiscal year 2025 is described further below.

**Executive Compensation Decisions**

Adjustments to named executive officer compensation, if any, are typically made in connection with the compensation committee's annual review of the executive compensation program, which generally occurs in the first quarter of the fiscal year. Equity awards for our named executive officers are typically granted during the first quarter of the fiscal year. From time to time, other adjustments may be made to compensation for our named executive officers during the year as the compensation committee deems appropriate, taking into account various factors, including promotions, changes in responsibilities, retention needs, market data, management recommendations, and relevant business objectives. To assess executive compensation, the compensation committee uses FW Cook's analysis to help structure a competitive executive compensation program, taking into consideration market data, and makes individual compensation decisions based on comparable positions at companies with which we compete for talent. As discussed above, the compensation committee considers a number of factors in setting compensation and does not establish compensation levels solely based on a review of competitive data or benchmark to any particular level. Still, it believes such data is a useful tool in its deliberations as our

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **PLANET LABS PBC** | **INFORMATION STATEMENT** | **19** |

---

------

compensation policies and practices must be competitive in the marketplace for us to be able to attract, motivate and retain qualified executive officers. Generally, our compensation committee considers the total direct compensation at companies in our peer group and considers compensation between the 25th and 75th percentiles of target total direct compensation (which includes salary, target bonus and grant value of equity awards) for comparable executives at the companies in our peer group generally to be within a competitive range for our named executive officers' compensation. In addition, the compensation committee does not have a set formula by which it determines how much of an executive's compensation is fixed (i.e., base salary) rather than variable or at risk. During its review of named executive officer compensation, the compensation committee also considers the negotiated terms of each named executive officer's employment offer letter, as applicable.

The compensation committee will continue to monitor our programs in the context of evolving market practices and our compensation objectives to ensure that we continue to attract and motivate talented executives who can support our growth and long-term stockholder value creation.

***Fiscal Year 2025 Base Salaries***

The base salaries of our named executive officers are an important part of their total compensation packages and are intended to reflect their respective positions, duties and responsibilities. Base salary is a fixed component of our compensation program and provides our named executive officers with a reasonable degree of financial certainty and stability.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, in consultation with FW Cook, the compensation committee determined it to be in the best interests of the Company to make no changes to the base salaries of our named executive officers for fiscal year 2025. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, two of our named executive officers volunteered and recommended with respect to their own base salaries, and the compensation committee, after consultation with FW Cook, approved decreases to such named executive officers' base salaries. For the remainder of fiscal year 2025, Mr. Marshall's salary was adjusted from $500,000 to $400,000, and Mr. Schingler's salary was adjusted from $360,000 to $288,000. Mr. Weil's annual base salary remained unchanged at $60,000 until his resignation from his role on May 6, 2024, consistent with the general compensation approach under the negotiated terms of his offer letter entered into with the Company in 2021.

The named executive officers' fiscal year 2025 base salaries are set forth in the "Summary Compensation Table" below.

***Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Bonuses and Equity Election Program***

We maintain an annual bonus plan under which certain named executive officers were eligible to receive bonuses based on attainment of fiscal year 2025 company performance metrics, as determined by the compensation committee in its discretion. Mr. Weil was not eligible to participate in our annual bonus plan for fiscal year 2025, consistent with the general compensation approach under the negotiated terms of his offer letter.

In fiscal year 2024, the compensation committee adopted an equity election program (the "Equity Election Program") pursuant to which certain employees, including our named executive officers may elect to receive all of their annual bonus under our annual bonus plan in the form of PSUs under the Company's 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the "2021 Plan") (in lieu of cash). The compensation committee adopted such program to further emphasize pay for performance. By permitting bonus plan participants to elect to receive their bonus opportunity in the form of equity, the program promotes closer alignment between the interests of our executives and those of our stockholders. The PSUs are eligible to vest and be paid to the applicable participant in the form of shares of our Class A common stock generally when the corresponding annual cash bonuses would have otherwise been paid under the annual bonus plan, based on the attainment of the performance goals that would have otherwise been applicable to their respective annual cash bonuses for the relevant period and subject to the applicable participant's continued service through the applicable vesting date. The target number of shares of Class A common stock subject to the PSUs granted to a participant has a value (based on the average closing price of the Class A common stock over the thirty trading days prior to the grant date) equal to the participant's target annual bonus opportunity. The actual number of a participant's PSUs that are eligible to vest and be paid range from 0% to 125% of the target PSUs granted. For fiscal year 2025, Mr. Marshall and Ms. Johnson elected to participate in the annual bonus plan by receiving a grant of PSUs under the Equity Election Program, and Mr. Schingler elected to participate in the annual bonus plan by receiving a cash award.

Under the annual bonus plan, annual bonus targets are set as a percentage of base salary, with actual bonuses payable between 0% up to a maximum of 125% of the applicable participant's target bonus. For fiscal year 2025, as part of the review of our compensation program undertaken by the compensation committee, in consultation with FW Cook, the compensation committee set our named executive officers' target bonuses for fiscal year 2025 as follows: for Mr. Marshall, $500,000; for Ms. Johnson, $283,500; and for Mr. Schingler, $180,000.

The fiscal year 2025 target bonuses of our named executive officers, expressed as a percentage of base salary in effect at the time targets were determined, were as provided in the following table, which remained unchanged from fiscal year 2024.

| William Marshall | 100% |
| Ashley Johnson  | 70% |
| Robbie Schingler, Jr.  | 50% |

---

Under our annual bonus plan, bonuses may be earned based on company performance as measured against pre-established business and/or financial goals that are intended to promote our business plan and short-term goals. For fiscal year 2025, bonuses were eligible to be earned by all participating employees, including our named executive officers (for Mr. Marshall and Ms. Johnson, pursuant to the terms of their PSUs, and for Mr. Schingler, in cash), based on attainment of the following Company performance metrics during fiscal year 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Weight** | **Definition** |
| GAAP Revenue | 60% | Recognized in accordance with GAAP. |
| Adjusted EBITDA | 40% | We define and calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income and expense, income tax provision and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, other income (expense), net, restructuring costs, certain litigation expenses, and employee transaction bonuses in connection with the asset purchase agreement with Holding Sinergise d.o.o. This definition is intended to align with the definitions in our 2025 Annual Report. |

---

The compensation committee selected these performance goals on the basis that they are important financial indicators of the Company's business growth and success. The weighting of adjusted EBITDA was increased from 20% to 40% to further motivate progress toward adjusted EBITDA profitability, which was achieved for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The compensation committee determines the weighted blended achievement of the performance metrics relative to the applicable targets. This is done twice a year: 40% of the target award is eligible to be earned after the completion of the first half of the fiscal year which recognizes on-track progress toward the full-year performance achievement (with payout determined based on the achievement of mid-year targets) and any remaining unearned portion of the award is eligible to be earned after the completion of the full fiscal year (net of any mid-year payout). The annual bonus plan mid-year payout and full year performance targets and actual performance for fiscal year 2025 are summarized below:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **(all $ amounts in thousands)** | **Mid Year Payout Target (100%)** | **Mid Year Actual Performance** | **Full Year Target Range (100%)(1)** | **Full Year Actual Performance** |
| GAAP Revenue | $122700 | $121532 | $245000 - $254000 | $244352 |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $(16600) | $(12763) | $(22000) - $(17000) | $(10627) |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)For performance achieved within the target range for the performance goals for the fiscal year, 100% of the target award would become eligible to vest. If performance was achieved at or above 125% of the upper point of the target range for the performance goals, then a maximum of 125% of the target award would become eligible to vest. If performance was achieved below the lower point of the target range or between 100% and 125% of the upper point of the target range, then the percentage of the target award that would become eligible to vest would be calculated based on the actual performance achievement as a percentage of the lower point or upper point, respectively, of the target range.

In light of our weighted blended achievement of the performance goals above target levels, our compensation committee determined to pay out annual bonuses at, and that PSUs would vest at, 115% of the full year target for each of our eligible named executive officers. The following table sets forth the annual bonus earned in fiscal year 2025 under our annual bonus plan for our named executive officers:

| William Marshall | 100% |  | 255556 | 115% |
| Ashley Johnson  | 70% |  | 144900 | 115% |
| Robbie Schingler, Jr.  | 50% | $182850 |  | 115% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)For Mr. Schingler, amount includes cash bonus earned (a) after the completion of the first half of the fiscal year (40% of the full year target award); and (b) after the completion of the second half of the fiscal year (60% of the full year target award, with any required adjustments for first half payout and full year end actual results). Based on the aforementioned mid-year targets, Mr. Schingler earned a cash bonus of $69,600 for the first half of the fiscal year. Performance below the target level for the first half of the fiscal year would result in earning a portion of 40% of the target award, based on the actual performance achievement as a percentage of the target level. The cash bonus earned following completion of the fiscal year is based on 115% achievement of the performance goals for the full fiscal year, less the cash bonus earned pursuant to first half fiscal year performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)For Mr. Marshall and Ms. Johnson, amount includes number of shares of Class A common stock that vested: (a) after the completion of the first half of the fiscal year (40% of the full year target award); and (b) after the completion of the second half of the fiscal year (60% of the full year target award, with any required adjustments for first half payout and full year end actual results). PSUs that vested after the first half of the fiscal year, based on the aforementioned mid-year targets were as follows: 88,889 shares for Mr. Marshall and 50,400 shares for Ms. Johnson. Performance below the target level for the first half of the fiscal year would result in vesting of a portion of 40% of the target award, based on the actual performance achievement as a percentage of the target level. The number of shares that vested following completion of the fiscal year is based on 115% achievement of the performance goals for the full fiscal year, less the number of shares that vested pursuant to first half fiscal year performance.

The named executive officers' fiscal year 2025 PSU awards (as applicable) are set forth below in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2025 Table and included below in the Summary Compensation Table in the column entitled "Stock Awards."

***Fiscal Year 2025 Equity Based Long-Term Incentive Compensation***

We view equity-based compensation as an important component of our balanced total compensation program. Equity-based compensation promotes an ownership culture among our employees that provides an incentive to contribute to the continued growth and development of our business and more closely aligns the interests of our employees with those of our stockholders.

In fiscal year 2025, in addition to the PSUs issued under the Equity Election Program, we granted equity-based compensation to our named executive officers in the form of RSUs covering the following number of shares: 1,583,711 for Mr. Marshall; 1,131,222 for Ms. Johnson; 723,982 for Mr. Schingler; and 50,252 for Mr. Weil. Such grants were intended to reward the named executive officers for their individual performance, increase their Planet stock ownership and promote retention of our key executives, among other factors described above. The RSU awards vest quarterly over a 4-year period, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date.

The named executive officers' fiscal year 2025 RSU awards (as applicable) are set forth below in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2025 Table and included below in the Summary Compensation Table in the column entitled "Stock Awards."

***Transition Arrangements for Mr. Weil***

To ensure a smooth transition after Mr. Weil's resignation as our President, Product and Business, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with Mr. Weil (the "Advisory Agreement"), pursuant to which he commenced services in May 2024. Under the Advisory Agreement, Mr. Weil provided advisory services to us for a period of one year following his transition date. During the term of the Advisory Agreement, Mr. Weil remained eligible to continue vesting in a portion of his equity awards covering 25% of the unvested shares otherwise eligible to vest throughout his continued service and the remaining 75% were forfeited upon his transition. Under the Advisory Agreement, Mr. Weil also received, subject to his timely election of continuation coverage under such plans, Company-paid health care coverage under the Company's group health plans for up to six months following his transition. Mr. Weil did not receive any cash severance payment upon his resignation or pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.

Additionally in connection with Mr. Weil's transition, Planet Labs Federal Inc. ("Planet Federal"), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an advisory agreement with Mr. Weil (the "Subsidiary Agreement"). Pursuant to the Subsidiary Agreement, Mr. Weil provided services as a member of the board of directors of such subsidiary for a period of one year following Mr. Weil's transition. Pursuant to the Subsidiary Agreement, in May 2024 the Company granted Mr. Weil an award of RSUs covering shares of the Company's Class A common stock with a grant date value equal to approximately $100,000. Such RSU award is scheduled to vest as to one-fourth of the underlying shares quarterly over a one-year vesting period, subject to Mr. Weil continuing to provide services under the Subsidiary Agreement.

**Other Elements and Compensation Considerations** 

***Retirement Plans***

We maintain a defined contribution 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies.

***Health/Welfare Plans***

All of our full-time employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including: medical, dental and vision benefits; medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts; medical health savings accounts; short-term and long-term disability insurance; life insurance; and flexible paid time off. We believe these benefits are necessary and appropriate to provide a competitive compensation package to our named executive officers.

***Perquisites***

We determine perquisites on a case-by-case basis and will provide a perquisite to a named executive officer when we believe it is necessary to attract or retain the named executive officer. During fiscal year 2025, we provided our named executive officers with limited perquisites and personal benefits consisting of Company-paid life insurance, as set forth below in the Summary Compensation Table in the column entitled "All Other Compensation".

***Executive Compensation Arrangements***

During fiscal year 2025, we were party to employment offer letters with Mr. Marshall, Ms. Johnson, Mr. Schingler and Mr. Weil. Each offer letter sets forth the terms and conditions of employment for the applicable named executive officer, including his or her initial base salary, initial target bonus opportunity (if any), initial equity grants, and eligibility to participate in our employee benefit plans. During fiscal year 2025, we were also party to the Advisory Agreement and Planet Federal was party to the Subsidiary Agreement with Mr. Weil, as described above.

Mr. Marshall, Ms. Johnson, Mr. Schingler and Mr. Weil have also entered into indemnification agreements and our standard proprietary information, invention assignment, and arbitration agreement.

***Severance and Change in Control Arrangements***

Certain members of our senior leadership team, including our named executive officers, participate in the Planet Labs PBC Executive Severance Plan ("severance plan") (provided that in connection with Mr. Weil's transition in May 2024, Mr. Weil ceased participating in the severance plan). Following recommendation by our compensation committee, our board approved adoption of the severance plan in December 2023. The severance plan provides for severance payments upon certain events terminating employment, including in connection with our change in control. Our compensation committee believes that these severance payments are necessary to attract and retain executive talent and are a customary component of executive compensation. In particular, our severance policy can mitigate a potential disincentive for our named executive officers when they are evaluating a potential acquisition of the Company and can encourage retention through the conclusion of the transaction. The payments and benefits provided under our severance plan are designed to be competitive with market practices.

A description of these severance payments, as well as the estimated payments and benefits that our named executive officers would have been eligible to receive under the severance plan upon a termination of employment or change in control of our Company as of January 31, 2025 (as applicable), are set forth in "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" below.

***Stock Ownership Guidelines*** 

Effective May 26, 2023, upon recommendation from the compensation committee, our board of directors adopted stock ownership guidelines that are applicable to our named executive officers, and to our non-employee directors. Our named executive officers and directors are expected to satisfy the applicable guidelines based on a multiple of annual base salary or annual cash retainer (excluding committee and chair retainers), as applicable, within five years after an individual first becomes subject to such guidelines and maintain compliance thereafter for as long as the individual remains subject to the guidelines. We believe that stock ownership guidelines more closely align the interests of our officers and directors with our stockholders and encourage long-term management of the Company for the benefit of its stockholders. The common stock minimum ownership thresholds under the guidelines are:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **PLANET LABS PBC** | **INFORMATION STATEMENT** | **23** |

---

------

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Position** | **Ownership Threshold** |
| Chief Executive Officer | 6x of annual base salary |
| Other Named Executive Officers | 3x of annual base salary |
| Other Employee Directors | 3x of annual base salary |
| Non-employee Directors | 3x of annual cash retainer |

---

Under the stock ownership guidelines, shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock options, or performance stock units (whether vested or unvested) do not count when determining the satisfaction of the applicable threshold.

***Prohibited Transactions***

Our board of directors has adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our named executive officers. The policy prohibits our named executive officers and any entities they control from purchasing financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company's equity securities, or that may cause a named executive officer to no longer have the same objectives as the Company's other stockholders. Under the Insider Trading Compliance Policy, short sales, margin purchases and pledging the Company's securities as collateral to secure loans are explicitly prohibited.

***Clawback Policy***

Effective October 2, 2023, we adopted our Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, in compliance with NYSE corporate governance standards and Section 10D of the Exchange Act, which provides for recovery of incentive compensation, if any, in excess of what would have been paid to our executive officers in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

***Section 409A***

The compensation committee takes into account whether components of the compensation for our executive officers will be adversely impacted by the penalty tax imposed by Section 409A of the Code, and aims to structure these components to be compliant with or exempt from Section 409A to avoid such potential adverse tax consequences.

***Section 162(m)***

Section 162(m) of the Code disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to "covered employees", which generally includes all named executive officers. While the compensation committee may take the deductibility of compensation into account when making compensation decisions, the compensation committee will award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if such compensation is not deductible by us.

***"Golden Parachute" Payments***

Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that certain executive officers and other service providers who are highly compensated or hold significant equity interests may be subject to an excise tax if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control of the Company that exceeds certain prescribed limits, and that we, or a successor, may forfeit a tax deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. While the compensation committee may take the potential forfeiture of such tax deduction into account when making compensation decisions, it will award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if such compensation is not deductible by us. We do not currently provide any tax gross-ups to cover excise taxes under Section 4999 in connection with a change in control.

***Accounting for Share-Based Compensation***

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 ("ASC Topic 718"), for our share-based compensation awards. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options and RSUs, based on the grant date "fair value" of these awards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and such grant date fair value of equity award granted in an applicable fiscal year is reported in the compensation tables below, even though it is possible that our named executive officers may never realize any value from their awards.

***Policies and Practices on the Timing of Awards of Options in Relation to the Disclosure of Material Nonpublic Information***

We have not granted stock options or other similar types of awards as part of our equity compensation programs since prior to the Business Combination. RSUs, PSUs or other types of equity awards that we grant to directors, officers and employees do not include an exercise price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Amounts included represent the full grant-date fair value of PSUs and RSUs (for fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2024), and RSUs (for fiscal year 2023) granted during the relevant fiscal year, in each case, computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718, rather than the amounts paid to or realized by the named executive officer. Such aggregate grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures related to service-vesting conditions. The amounts reported for the RSUs were calculated using the closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. The amounts reported for the PSUs assume the probable outcome of the applicable performance conditions on the date of grant. Assumptions used to calculate these amounts are included in Notes 2 and 14 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report, Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, and Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023. If the PSUs granted in fiscal year 2024 were instead valued based on the maximum outcome of the applicable performance conditions, the grant date fair value of the PSUs would be as follows: Mr. Marshall: $708,332; and Ms. Johnson: $401,625. For Mr. Weil, the amounts included for fiscal year 2025 reflect the RSUs issued pursuant to the Subsidiary Agreement, as described above in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Compensation Decisions—Transition Arrangements for Mr. Weil."

For Mr. Weil, $377,626 of the amount reported for fiscal year 2025 represents the incremental fair value associated with the modification of certain of Mr. Weil's RSU awards to provide for continued service vesting based on Mr. Weil's service pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, calculated as of the modification date in accordance with ASC Topic 718, as described above in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Compensation Decisions—Transition Arrangements for Mr. Weil."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Amount reported in this column represents the incremental fair value associated with the modification of certain of Mr. Weil's stock options pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, calculated as of the modification date in accordance with ASC Topic 718, as described above in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Compensation Decisions—Transition Arrangements for Mr. Weil."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)In connection with his transition in May 2024, as described further above in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Compensation Decisions—Transition Agreements for Mr. Weil", Mr. Weil entered into (a) the Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which he remained eligible to vest in RSUs covering an aggregate of 199,798 shares (with an aggregate value of $1,218,768 based on the closing trading price of our Class A common stock on January 31, 2025) and options to purchase an aggregate of 96,535 shares (all of which were underwater based on such closing trading price on January 31, 2025), and (b) the Subsidiary Agreement, pursuant to which the Company granted Mr. Weil an award of RSUs covering 50,252 shares of our Class A common stock, that is subject to vest over a one-year vesting period based on Mr. Weil's services under the Subsidiary Agreement. Under the Advisory Agreement, Mr. Weil also received, subject to his timely election of continuation coverage under such plans, Company-paid health care coverage under the Company's group health plans for six months following his transition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Amount calculated based on the fair market value of our Class A common stock on January 31, 2025, which was $6.10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)1/48th of the shares subject to the option vest on each monthly anniversary of the vesting commencement date, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)Represents earn-out shares that will become earned and issuable with respect to outstanding equity awards held by the named executive officers as of the consummation of the Business Combination in four substantially equal installments if (i) the closing price of our 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 December 7, 2026, or (ii) if we consummate a change in control transaction prior to December 7, 2026 that entitles our stockholders to receive a per share consideration of at least $15.00, $17.00, $19.00 and $21.00, respectively, in each case, subject to the applicable named executive officer's continued service through the date of the applicable triggering event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)1/16th of the shares subject to the RSUs vest on each quarterly anniversary of the vesting commencement date, subject to continued service (or in the case of Mr. Weil following his transition, his service under his Advisory Agreement) through the applicable vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)Represents PSUs that vest in accordance with the performance-based vesting conditions described in the "Compensation Discussion & Analysis – Executive Compensation Decisions – Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Bonuses and Equity Election Program" above. In March 2025, our compensation committee determined that the PSUs would vest at 115% of the full year target. For each of Mr. Marshall and Ms. Johnson, the number of shares of stock that have not vested reflects the actual number of shares that were earned at 115% of target above minus the number of shares that were earned in the first half of fiscal year 2025 pursuant to the same PSU grant. The number of shares subject to each named executive officer's PSU award assumes target achievement based on actual performance during fiscal year 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8)25% of the shares subject to the options vest on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, with 1/48th of the shares vesting monthly thereafter, subject to continued service (or in the case of Mr. Weil following his transition, his service under his Advisory Agreement) through the applicable vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9)Represents RSUs that are subject to both a service-based vesting condition and a liquidity-based vesting condition. The service-based vesting condition is satisfied as to 25% of the RSUs on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and as to 1/16th of the RSUs monthly thereafter, subject to continued service (or in the case of Mr. Weil following his transition, his service under his Advisory Agreement) through the applicable vesting date. The liquidity-based vesting condition was satisfied upon the closing of the Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(10)25% of the shares subject to the RSUs vest on June 15, 2024, with 25% vesting on each of the following two quarterly anniversary of June 15, 2024, and 25% vesting on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, subject to continued service under the Subsidiary Agreement through the applicable vesting date.

**Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control**

We have adopted the Planet Labs PBC Executive Severance Plan ("severance plan"), which provides for certain payments and the accelerated vesting of certain equity awards upon certain scenarios of employment termination in the case of each of our named executive officers. In addition, our named executive officers are eligible to receive certain earn-out shares (as defined below) upon a change in control of the Company. A description of these arrangements is set forth below.

***Severance Plan***

|:---|:---|:---|
| **PLANET LABS PBC** | **INFORMATION STATEMENT** | **28** |

------

Our severance plan provides for severance payments upon certain events terminating employment. In the event a named executive officer's employment is terminated by us without "cause" or by the named executive officer for "good reason" (as each such term is defined in the severance plan), such named executive officer is eligible to receive (i) continued payment of base salary for twelve months (for Mr. Marshall only) or nine months following termination; (ii) a pro-rated annual bonus for the fiscal year of termination (based on actual performance), less any annual bonus for such fiscal year paid prior to termination, payable in installments over twelve months (for Mr. Marshall only) or nine months following termination; and (iii) Company-subsidized group health continuation coverage for up to twelve months (for Mr. Marshall only) or nine months following termination.

In the event a named executive officer's employment is terminated by us without "cause" or by the named executive officer for "good reason" within three months prior to or within twelve months after a change in control, such named executive officer is eligible to receive (in lieu of the severance described above): (i) a lump-sum amount equal to eighteen months' (for Mr. Marshall only) or twelve months' base salary; (ii) a pro-rated target annual bonus for the fiscal year of termination, less any annual bonus for such fiscal year paid prior to termination; (iii) a lump-sum amount equal to 150% (for Mr. Marshall only) or 100% of such named executive officer's target annual bonus; (iv) Company-subsidized group health continuation coverage for up to eighteen months (for Mr. Marshall only) or twelve months following termination; and (v) full vesting of outstanding equity-based awards.

Receipt of any severance payments and benefits under the severance plan is subject to the named executive officer's continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants, and the execution of an effective release of claims in favor of the Company. The severance plan also includes an Internal Revenue Code Section 280G "best pay" provision, pursuant to which any payments or benefits under the severance plan or otherwise that would be subject to an excise tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 4999 will be reduced if such reduction would result in a greater net after-tax benefit to the named executive officer than receiving the full payments or benefits.

For purposes of the severance plan, "Cause" generally means (i) a material act of dishonesty made by the named executive officer in connection with performance of the named executive officer's responsibilities (and in the case of Mr. Weil, that also results in material harm to the Company), (ii) the named executive officer's conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime involving fraud, embezzlement or any other act of moral turpitude, (iii) the named executive officer's gross misconduct in connection with performance of the named executive officer's duties (or in the case of Mr. Weil, intentional misconduct), (iv) the named executive officer's unauthorized use or disclosure any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any other party to whom the named executive officer owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of the named executive officer's relationship with the Company (or in the case of Mr. Weil, knowing and unauthorized, or Ms. Johnson, unauthorized, use or disclosure of proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company in violation of such named executive officer's proprietary information and invention agreement entered into with the Company); (v) the named executive officer's persistent and willful failure to perform the named executive officer's duties and responsibilities after written notice and failure to remedy such failure within thirty (30) days after such written notice; or (vi) the named executive officer's material and willful breach of any obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (and in the case of Mr. Weil, failure to remedy such breach within 30 days of written notice from the Company; or in the case of Ms. Johnson, under any written agreement or covenant with the Company). For purposes of clarity, a termination without "Cause" does not include any termination that occurs as a result of the named executive officer's death or disability.

For purposes of the severance plan, "Good Reason" generally means the named executive officer's resignation within thirty (30) days following the expiration of any Company cure period (as discussed below) without cure following the occurrence of one or more of the following, without the named executive officer's written consent: (i) a material reduction in the named executive officer's base salary or target bonus except for reductions that are in connection with across-the-board salary reductions (and corresponding target bonus reductions) and no greater (in percentage terms) than those imposed on substantially all of the Company's similarly-situated employees; (ii) relocation of the named executive officer's principal place of employment to a location that is greater than fifty (50) miles from his or her principal place of employment as of the date on which he or she becomes a participant under the severance plan (other than a relocation that reduces the named executive officer's one-way commute); or (iii) a material reduction in the named executive officer's title, duties or responsibilities to the Company (other than during temporary periods of physical or mental incapacity, and other than a change in the named executive officer's title, duties or responsibilities as a result of our Change in Control). The named executive officer must provide the Company with written notice of the grounds for "Good Reason" within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of any event that the named executive officer knows or reasonably should have known to be grounds for "Good Reason" and a cure period of thirty (30) days for the Company to cure such grounds for "Good Reason."

For purposes of the severance plan, "Change in Control" has the same meaning as a "Change in Control" under the Company's 2021 Incentive Award Plan (as discussed further below).

***Other Severance and Transition Arrangements***

Prior to the Company's adoption in December 2023 of the severance plan, the stock options and restricted stock units granted to Ms. Johnson in our fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 ("fiscal year 2021") had been eligible for vesting acceleration in connection with a qualifying termination of employment pursuant to the terms of her employment offer letter and her respective equity award agreements. In the event that Ms. Johnson's employment had been terminated by the Company for any reason other than "Cause" or as a result of her voluntary resignation for "Good Reason" (each such term as defined in her employment offer letter or the applicable award agreement), in any case, within twelve (12) months following a "Change of Control" of the Company (as defined under the Company's Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan")), then, subject to her execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, 50% of the then-unvested shares subject to the award would vest.

For purposes of Ms. Johnson's awards described in the preceding paragraph, "Cause" generally has the meaning as provided above with respect to the severance plan. Additionally, for purposes for such awards, "Good Reason" generally means the named executive officer's resignation within thirty (30) days following the expiration of any Company cure period (as discussed below) without cure following the occurrence of one or more of the following, without the named executive officer's written consent: (i) a material reduction of the named executive officer's duties, position, title or responsibilities, or removal from such position and responsibilities, either of which results in a material diminution of authority, duties or responsibilities, unless the named executive officer is provided with a comparable or greater position; (ii) a material reduction in base salary or total compensation (base salary plus target bonus) as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; (iii) a material change in geographic location at which the named executive officer must perform services (i.e., a change of twenty-five (25) miles or more unless such relocation is closer to the named executive officer's principal residence); or (iv) a material breach by the Company of any written agreement between the Company and the named executive officer. The named executive officer must provide the Company with written notice of the grounds for "Good Reason" within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the grounds for "Good Reason" and a reasonable cure period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice. "Change of Control" under the 2011 Plan generally means, with certain limited exceptions, (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets other than to certain excluded entities, (ii) the holders of capital stock of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, (iii) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of the Company with or into another corporation, limited liability company or other entity other than to certain excluded entities, or (iv) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of all of the Company's then outstanding voting securities.

In connection with Mr. Weil's transition in May 2024, Mr. Weil's participation in our severance plan terminated, and as discussed further above, Mr. Weil entered the Advisory Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreement, each dated May 6, 2024. Under the Advisory Agreement, Mr. Weil was eligible to continue vesting in a portion of his RSUs covering an aggregate of 199,798 shares and options to purchase an aggregate of 96,535 shares, assuming he provides continuous services through the full one-year term of such agreement. The value of such RSUs, based on the closing trading price of our Class A common stock of $3.50 on May 6, 2025, was $699,293, and all of his options were underwater based on such closing trading price of our Class A common stock on May 6, 2025. Mr. Weil also received under the Advisory Agreement, subject to his timely election of continuation coverage under such plans, Company-paid health care coverage under the Company's group health plans for up to six months following his transition, with a value equal to $3,411. If during both the term of the Advisory Agreement and within the period beginning three months prior to, through twelve months following, a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Company's 2021 Incentive Award Plan) (the "CIC Period"), Mr. Weil's services with the Company were terminated by the Company without "Cause" or by Mr. Weil for "Good Reason" (as such terms are defined in the Advisory Agreement), and not due to Mr. Weil's death or disability, then any of his continuing equity awards that were then unvested would have accelerated vesting in full. The vesting acceleration of such equity awards was subject to Mr. Weil agreeing to a general release of claims in our favor. If such termination and change in control had occurred on January 31, 2025, then such vesting acceleration would have applied to a total of 120,531 shares subject to his then-unvested restricted stock units (which, multiplied by the closing trading price of our Class A common stock of $6.10 on January 31, 2025, would have had a total value of $735,239) and a total of 1,369,088 shares subject to his options, all of which were underwater as of January 31, 2025. Pursuant to the Subsidiary Agreement, in May 2024 the Company granted Mr. Weil an award of RSUs covering shares of the Company's Class A common stock with a grant date value equal to $100,504. The RSU award was scheduled to vest as to one-fourth of the underlying shares quarterly over a one-year vesting period, subject to Mr. Weil continuing to provide services under the Subsidiary Agreement. Under Mr. Weil's Subsidiary Agreement, if during both the term of the Subsidiary Agreement and the CIC Period, Mr. Weil's services with such subsidiary were terminated by the subsidiary without "Cause" or by Mr. Weil for "Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Subsidiary Agreement), and not due to Mr. Weil's death or disability, then the RSU award granted to him pursuant to the Subsidiary Agreement would have accelerated vesting in full, subject to Mr. Weil agreeing to a general release of claims in favor of the Company. If such termination and change in control had occurred on January 31, 2025, then such vesting acceleration would have applied to a total of 12,563 shares subject to the then-unvested portion of Mr. Weil's RSU award (which, multiplied by the closing trading price of our Class A common stock of $6.10 on January 31, 2025, would have had a total value of $76,634).

For purposes of the Advisory Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreement, "Cause" generally means (i) a material act of dishonesty in connection with performance of Mr. Weil's responsibilities to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime involving fraud, embezzlement or any other act of moral turpitude; (iii) gross misconduct in connection with performance of his duties as a service provider to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; (iv) unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or certain other parties to whom Mr. Weil owes an obligation of nondisclosure; (v) persistent and willful failure to perform the duties and responsibilities to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates after written notice and that remains unremedied following a cure period; or (vi) material and willful breach of any obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

For purposes of the Advisory Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreement, "Good Reason" generally means Mr. Weil's resignation within thirty (30) days following the expiration of any Company cure period (as discussed below) without cure following the occurrence of one or more of the following, without his written consent: (i) a material reduction in compensation under the Advisory Agreement or Subsidiary Agreement, as applicable; (ii) a relocation of his principal place of service to a location greater than 50 miles from the principal place of service immediately prior to such relocation; or (iii) a material reduction in title, duties or responsibilities. Mr. Weil must provide the Company with written notice of the grounds for "Good Reason" within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of any event that he knows or reasonably should have known to constitute Good Reason, and a cure period of thirty (30) days following such notice.

***2021 Incentive Award Plan***

Under the Company's 2021 Incentive Award Plan, in the event of the Company's "Change in Control" (as defined in such plan), if a participant's award (including any named executive officer's award) is not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced with a substantially similar award by the Company or a successor entity or its parent or subsidiary (an "Assumption"), and provided that the participant's service has not terminated, then, immediately prior to the Change in Control, such award will become fully vested, exercisable and/or payable, as applicable, and all forfeiture, repurchase and other restrictions on such award will lapse, and such award will be canceled in exchange for the right to receive the Change in Control consideration with respect to the shares subject to such award (net of any applicable exercise price).

For purposes of the Company's 2021 Incentive Award Plan, "Change in Control" generally means (i) a transaction or series of transactions (other than an offering of Common Stock to the general public through a registration statement filed with the SEC or a transaction or series of transactions that meets the requirements of clauses (a) and (b) of subsection (iii) below) whereby any "person" or related "group" of "persons" (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a "person" that, prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company) directly or indirectly acquires beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company's securities outstanding immediately after such acquisition; or (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who, at the beginning of such period, constitute the board together with any new director(s) (other than a director designated by a person who shall have entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in subsections (i) or (iii)) whose election by the board or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or (iii) the consummation by the Company (whether directly involving the Company or indirectly involving the Company through one or more intermediaries) of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets in any single transaction or series of related transactions or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity, in each case other than a transaction: (a) which results in the Company's voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the Company or the person that, as a result of the transaction, controls, directly or indirectly, the Company or owns, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the Company's assets or otherwise succeeds to the business of the Company) directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity's (as defined in the Company's 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the "2021 Plan")) outstanding voting securities immediately after the transaction, and (b) after which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of such the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this clause (b) as beneficially owning 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in the Company prior to the consummation of the transaction. For purposes of the foregoing subsection (iii), "Successor Entity" generally means the Company or other person that, as a result of the transaction described in subsection (iii), controls, directly or indirectly, the Company or owns, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the Company's assets or otherwise succeeds to the business of the Company.

***Earn-outs***

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination, upon the closing of the Business Combination, each holder of outstanding equity awards covering Company common stock immediately before the consummation of the Business Combination, which

|:---|:---|:---|

------

includes our named executive officers, became entitled to receive their respective pro rata shares of up to 27,000,000 additional shares of our Class A common stock (the "earn-out shares"). The earn-out shares are comprised of four substantially equal tranches, which will become earned and issuable if (i) the closing price of our 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 December 7, 2026 (with 6,750,000 shares becoming earned and issuable upon the achievement of each such stock price milestone), or (ii) we consummate a change in control transaction prior to December 7, 2026, that entitles our stockholders to receive a per share consideration of at least $15.00, $17.00, $19.00 and $21.00, respectively, in each case, subject to the holder's continued employment or service through the applicable triggering event.

The earn-out shares that each named executive officer is eligible to earn in respect of outstanding equity awards held by him or her at the time of the Business Combination are included above in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table. Upon a change in control of the Company, earn-out shares will only be earned if the required stock price milestones are achieved upon such change in control, subject to the holder's continued employment or service through the change in control.

***Estimated Potential Payments at 2025 Fiscal Year End***

The following table summarizes the payments and benefits that would be made to our named executive officers, other than Mr. Weil, upon the occurrence of certain qualifying terminations of employment and/or a change in control of the Company, assuming such termination had occurred on January 31, 2025. Amounts shown do not include earn-out shares, as the required stock price milestones were not met as of January 31, 2025, and accordingly, no earn-out shares would have been issued to such named executive officers if a change in control had occurred on such date. Also, amounts shown do not include (i) accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination or (ii) other benefits earned or accrued by the named executive officer during his or her employment that are available to all salaried employees, such as accrued vacation. See the discussion further above in this section under the heading "Other Severance and Transition Agreements" for a summary of the compensation arrangements entered into with Mr. Weil in connection with his transition during the 2025 fiscal year and the amounts of the payments and benefits provided under such arrangements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Severance payments and benefits as provided to the named executive officer under the severance plan. In the event of a "Change in Control" within the meaning of the 2021 Plan pursuant to which the named executive officer's awards are not eligible for assumption, the value of the vesting acceleration for such equity awards, assuming such Change in Control had occurred on January 31, 2025, is $2,583,806 for Mr. Marshall; $1,577,591 for Ms. Johnson; and $1,066,487 for Mr. Schingler.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)With respect to options, the value of equity acceleration was calculated by (i) multiplying the number of accelerated shares of Class A common stock underlying the option by $6.10, the closing trading price of our Class A common stock on January 31, 2025 and (ii) subtracting the aggregate exercise price for such accelerated shares. This formula resulted in a value of $0 as shown in the table above because the exercise price per share of each option was greater than the closing trading price of our Class A common stock on January 31, 2025 ($6.10).

With respect to RSUs and PSUs, the value of equity acceleration was calculated by multiplying the number of accelerated RSUs by $6.10, the closing trading price of our Class A common stock on January 31, 2025.

**2025 Pay Ratio Disclosure**

As required by SEC rules, we are providing the information below to explain the relationship between the annual total compensation of Mr. Marshall, who served as our chief executive officer in fiscal year 2025, and the annual total compensation of the median employee of the Company excluding our chief executive officer. We identified the median employee using our employee population as of December 31, 2024.

The median annual total compensation disclosed below is based on the Company's global workforce and the following methodology:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We collected the payroll data of all employees globally, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, temporary or seasonal basis (but not including any contractors or consultants) as of December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As our consistently applied compensation measure, we used the total cash compensation earned by employees over the full calendar year ending December 31, 2024. No adjustments to compensation were made regarding annualization or cost of living.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We applied an exchange rate as of December 31, 2024, to convert all foreign currencies into U.S. dollars.

Using this methodology, we identified our median employee for fiscal year 2025. We then calculated the median employee's annual total compensation for fiscal year 2025 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, which was calculated to be $140,943. Mr. Marshall's annual total compensation for fiscal year 2025, as reported under the "Total" column (column (j)) in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table, was $4,746,341. Based on this information, for fiscal year 2025, the ratio of the compensation of our chief executive officer to the median annual total compensation of all other employees of the Company was estimated to be 33.7 to 1.

We believe our pay ratio presented above is a reasonable estimate. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, exemptions, estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, our pay ratio may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

**2025 Pay Versus Performance Disclosure**

The following table summarizes information concerning the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer (referred to in this discussion as our principal executive officer ("PEO")) and our non-PEO named executive officers ("Non-PEO NEOs") and our financial performance for fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023 and the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022 ("fiscal year 2022"). This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with the SEC's pay versus performance rules in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act ("Item 402(v)") and does not necessarily reflect value actually realized by the named executive officers or how the compensation committee evaluates compensation decisions in light of Company or individual performance. For discussion of how the compensation committee seeks to align pay with performance when making compensation decisions, please review the Compensation Discussion & Analysis elsewhere in this information statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)William Marshall was our PEO for fiscal years 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022. Our Non-PEO NEOs, for each year presented above were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)The following table summarizes the adjustments made to each of the PEO's total compensation and the average of the Non-PEOs' total compensation, in each case, reported in the Summary Compensation Table, as required by SEC rules, to calculate "Compensation Actually Paid" amounts included in the table above. The fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the "Compensation Actually Paid" columns was determined by reference to (i) for RSU and PSU awards, the closing price per share as of the applicable date; (ii) for stock options, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the applicable date; and (iii) for earn-out awards, using a model based on multiple stock price paths developed through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates into the valuation the possibility that the market condition targets may not be satisfied as of the applicable date. For further details, please see Note 2 and Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report. The valuation methods used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed as of the grant date of the equity awards. The fair value of the employee stock options outstanding at the end of the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025, January 31, 2024, January 31, 2023, January 31, 2022, and January 31, 2021, was estimated using the following assumptions: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)The peer group used in this disclosure is the Nasdaq Computer Index, which is the same peer group used in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K and included in Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)Net income (loss) and GAAP revenue used in this disclosure are as reported in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income included in our 2025 Annual Report.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)For the purposes of this disclosure, the Company designated GAAP revenue as its selected financial measure, which, in the Company's assessment, represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to our named executive officers, for fiscal year 2025, to the Company's performance.

***Tabular List of Most Important Financial Performance Measures***

The following are the two financial performance measures that the Company uses to link compensation actually paid to our named executive officers to Company performance for fiscal year 2025:

The Company does not utilize any other financial performance measures in the compensation program for its named executive officers. For additional details regarding our most important financial performance measures, please see the section titled "—Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Bonuses" in our Compensation Discussion & Analysis elsewhere in this information statement.

***Relationship Between Financial Performance Measures and Compensation Actually Paid***

The graphs below compare the compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average of the compensation actually paid to our Non-PEO NEOs, with (i) our cumulative and peer group total shareholder return ("TSR"), (ii) our net income (loss), and (iii) our GAAP revenue, in each case, for fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. TSR amounts reported in the graph assume an initial fixed investment of $100 on December 7, 2021, and the reinvestment of all dividends (if any).

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT**

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of August 18, 2025 by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of shares of our Class A common stock or Class B common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of Planet's current named executive officers, current directors and Mr. Reese; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all of Planet's current executive officers, Planet's current directors and Mr. Reese, as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, and thus it represents sole or shared voting or investment power with respect to our securities. We have based our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership on 286,739,642 shares of our Class A common stock and 21,157,586 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding as of August 18, 2025. We have deemed shares of our common stock subject to options and warrants held as of August 18, 2025, that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of August 18, 2025, and shares subject to RSUs or PSUs held as of August 18, 2025, that are subject to vesting and settlement conditions expected to occur within 60 days of August 18, 2025, to be beneficially owned by the person holding the option, warrant, RSU or PSU, as applicable, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Unless otherwise indicated, Planet believes that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the voting securities beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable.

In July 2023, we entered into a one year content license agreement with Google LLC (the "Google LLC Content License Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed to license content to Google and provide certain of its products and services in exchange for a $1.0 million fee. The agreement also provides for the Company to receive up to $2.0 million in value of Google cloud credits that the Company can apply against the cost of Google cloud services under the Google Cloud Platform License Agreement it utilizes to fulfill its obligations under the agreement. The agreement does not include extension or renewal terms. In August 2024 the Google LLC Content License Agreement was amended to extend the term until November 2024. Pursuant to its terms, the agreement expired in November 2024. The Company recognized $0.3 million revenue related to the content license agreement for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

The Registration Rights Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the five-year anniversary of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) with respect to any applicable stockholder, on the date that such stockholder no longer holds any Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).
