**Item 5.08. Shareholder Director Nominations.** 

To the extent applicable, the information in Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.08.

**Item 8.01. Other Events.** 

On February 21, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Leonardo DRS, Inc. (the "Company") determined that the Company's 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") will be held virtually on June 1, 2023. The Company will provide additional details regarding the time and matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting in the Company's proxy statement for the Annual Meeting to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") prior to the Annual Meeting. Stockholders of record of the Company's common stock at the close of business on April 3, 2023 will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. The Company, however, reserves the right to change the record date, meeting date, and meeting location prior to the Annual Meeting.

Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders during 2022, stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") must ensure that such proposal is delivered to or mailed to and received by the Company to the attention of Mark A. Dorfman at 2345 Crystal Drive, Suite 1000, Arlington, Virginia 22202 on or before the close of business on March 10, 2023, which date the Company has determined is a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials.

In addition to complying with the March 10, 2023 deadline, stockholder director nominations and stockholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the Annual Meeting must also comply with all applicable SEC rules, including Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, Delaware corporate law and the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws. Any director nominations and stockholder proposals received after March 10, 2023 will be considered untimely and will not be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting nor will it be considered at the Annual Meeting.
