**What is a quorum?**

The presence in person or by remote communication, or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting on the Record Date will be necessary to constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting.

We will count shares of common stock represented by proxies that reflect abstentions or ''broker non-votes'' (i.e., shares held by a broker or nominee that are represented at the Annual Meeting, but with respect to which such broker or nominee is not empowered to vote on a particular proposal) as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. The inspector of election will tabulate the proxies and votes cast prior to the Annual Meeting and at the Annual Meeting to determine whether a quorum is present.

**How do I vote?**

You may submit your proxy to have your shares voted via the internet, by telephone, or virtually at the Annual Meeting. If you received printed proxy materials, you also have the option of submitting your proxy card by mail. In addition, you can virtually attend the Annual Meeting and vote by following the instructions available on the virtual meeting website. The designated proxies will vote according to your instructions; however, if you are a registered stockholder and you return an executed proxy card without specific instructions on how to vote, the proxies will vote:

If you beneficially own your shares or are a ''street name'' stockholder and you do not return instructions on how to vote to your broker, the proxies will not vote your shares on any of the Proposals except for Proposal 2. The voting of shares held by ''street name'' stockholders is further discussed below. Additionally, in order to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a signed legal proxy from the broker or nominee that holds your shares, because the broker or nominee is the legal, registered owner of the shares. If you have the broker's proxy, you may vote by ballot virtually at the Annual Meeting.

If you hold shares of our common stock in a retirement or savings plan or other similar plan, you may submit your vote via the internet or by telephone or by means of the direction on the proxy card. The trustee or administrator of the plan will vote according to your directions and the rules of the plan.

**How can I attend the Annual Meeting with the ability to ask a question and/or vote?**

The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which we will conduct exclusively by webcast. You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting only if (i) your shares of common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("Computershare"), as of the close of business on the Record Date (i.e., a ''Registered Holder''), or (ii) if you are a beneficial holder and hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker (i.e., a ''Beneficial Holder'') and hold a valid legal proxy for the Annual Meeting.

We are not holding a physical meeting. We will begin the virtual meeting promptly at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time. We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time leaving ample time for the check-in. Please follow the registration instructions as outlined below.

As a Registered Holder, you will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online, ask a question, and vote by visiting https://meetnow.global/MLYHW4L and following the instructions on your notice, proxy card, or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.

If you are a beneficial holder who wishes to vote during the Annual Meeting, you must register with Computershare and obtain a control number. Please note that banks, brokers, and other nominees typically provide their own control numbers to their account holders. These are not the same as a Computershare generated control number. A Computershare generated control number is required to be used to participate and vote at the Annual Meeting. To obtain a Computershare generated control number, you must submit proof to Computershare of your proxy ("Legal Proxy"), which may be obtained from your broker, bank, or other nominee, and reflect your Pattern Group Inc. holdings along with your name and email address. Requests to obtain a control number as set forth above must be labeled as "Legal Proxy" and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on May 12, 2026. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after Computershare receives your registrations materials. Requests for registration should be directed to the following: By email: Forward the email from your broker, bank, or other nominee granting you a Legal Proxy, or attach an image of your Legal Proxy, to: legalproxy@computershare.com. By mail: Computershare Pattern Group Inc. Legal Proxy P.O. Box 43001 Providence, RI 02940-3001. Once you obtain a control number from Computershare, you may participate and vote at the Annual Meeting. Once you have accessed the Annual Meeting, you may vote by clicking on the "Vote" tab. Doing so will take you to Computershare's InvestorVote site where you will enter and submit your control number to access voting for the matters brought before the Annual Meeting.

**How can I vote online at the Annual Meeting?**

If you are a Registered Holder, follow the instructions on the Notice, email, or proxy card that you received to access the Annual Meeting.

If you are a Beneficial Holder, please follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote.

Online voting will be available during the Annual Meeting. To ensure that your vote is recorded promptly, please submit a proxy as soon as possible, even if you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting.

---

**Why are you holding a virtual meeting instead of a physical meeting?**

We are pleased to embrace technology which allows for expanded access and improved communication for our stockholders and the Company. We believe that hosting a virtual meeting will enable more of our stockholders to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting since our stockholders can participate from any location around the world with internet access.

**What if I have trouble accessing the Annual Meeting virtually?**

The virtual meeting platform is supported across browsers other than Internet Explorer, and devices running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Participants should ensure that they have a strong and reliable internet connection wherever they intend to participate in the Annual Meeting. We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time. A technical support link on the Annual Meeting page will provide further assistance should you need it, or you may call (888) 724-2416.

**What happens if a nominee is unable to stand for election?**

If any director nominee should be unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board may select a substitute nominee or the Board may elect to reduce its size. In that case, if you have submitted your proxy via the internet or by telephone or completed and returned your proxy card or voting instruction card, the proxy holders will have the discretion to vote your shares for the substitute nominee. They cannot vote for more than the two nominees. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve if elected.

**Can I submit a proxy via the internet or by telephone?**

You may submit your proxy to have your shares voted at the Annual Meeting via the internet or by telephone by following the instructions contained in the Notice. If you received a printed set of the proxy materials, you may submit your proxy via the internet or by telephone by following the instructions contained on the proxy card that accompanied the printed materials.

If you are a Registered Holder, the deadline for submitting your proxy by telephone or via the internet is 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time on May 14, 2026.

**Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?**

**Registered Stockholders:**

Prior to the Annual Meeting and subject to the deadlines set forth in the paragraph above, you may change your vote at any time before such deadline by re-submitting your proxy via the internet or by telephone or by virtually attending the Annual Meeting and voting at the Annual Meeting by filling out an online ballot.

If you have delivered a proxy, you may revoke your proxy at any time before the proxies vote your shares by filing with our Corporate Secretary a written notice of revocation at our Company headquarters at the address shown on the first page of this Proxy Statement. The revocation must be received prior to the time the proxies vote your shares.

During the Annual Meeting, you may revoke your proxy by voting via online ballot. You must be logged in as a ''Stockholder'' and not as a ''Guest'' to vote at the Annual Meeting, and your virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting alone will not by itself revoke your proxy.

**Beneficial Stockholders:**

If your shares are held in ''street name'', please contact your broker, nominee, trustee, or administrator to determine whether and how you will be able to revoke or change your vote.

**Why did I receive a notice of internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of the proxy materials?**

To be environmentally conscious, and in accordance with the rules of the SEC which allow companies to furnish their proxy materials via the internet, we sent to our stockholders of record the Notice. You can find instructions on how to access the proxy materials via the internet or to request a paper copy in the Notice. In addition, stockholders may request future proxy materials be sent to you in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis by following the instructions on the Notice mailed to you. A stockholder's election to receive proxy materials by mail or email will remain in effect until the stockholder terminates it.

**Can I vote my shares by filling out and returning the Notice?**

No, the Notice is not a form for voting but provides instructions on how to access the proxy materials and vote your shares.

**What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?**

Assuming a quorum is present, the matters to come before the Annual Meeting that are listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders require the votes described below to be approved. As of Record Date, our co-founders and their affiliated co-founder trusts collectively own shares representing approximately 54.6% of the economic interest and 86.4% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock.

**Proposal 1—Election of Directors—**Directors to our Board are elected by a plurality of the votes properly cast on the election of directors, meaning that the nominees for the applicable election receiving the highest number of shares voted ''for'' their election will be elected as members of the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Votes Withheld*. With respect to the election of directors, you may vote ''for'' or ''withhold'' authority to vote for any nominee for election. If you ''withhold'' authority to vote with respect to any director nominee, your vote will have no effect on the election of such nominee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Broker Non-Votes*. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.

**Proposal 2—Ratification of our Audit Committee's appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm**—The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast for and against this proposal is required to approve this proposal. You may vote ''for,'' ''against,'' or ''abstain'' on this proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Abstentions*. Abstentions will have no effect on the determination of whether this proposal has received the vote of a majority of the votes properly cast for and against this proposal. However, abstentions could prevent the approval of this proposal if the number of affirmative votes, though a majority of the votes represented and voting, does not constitute a majority of the required quorum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Broker Non-Votes*. We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal, as we believe this proposal is considered a routine matter. However, we understand that certain brokers have elected not to vote even on routine matters. See ''What are broker non-votes?'' below. If a broker or other nominee has made this decision and they do not receive voting instructions, a broker non-vote will have no effect on the determination of whether this proposal has received the vote of a majority of the votes properly cast for and against this proposal.

**Proposal 3—Say on Pay Vote—**The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of votes properly cast for and against this proposal is required to approve this proposal. You may vote ''for,'' ''against,'' or ''abstain'' on this proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Abstentions*. Abstentions will have no effect on the determination of whether this proposal has received the vote of a majority of votes properly cast for and against this proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Broker Non-Votes.* Broker non-votes will have no effect on the determination of whether this proposal has received the vote of a majority of votes properly cast for and against this proposal.

**Proposal 4 – Say on Frequency Vote—**The non-binding advisory vote as to Proposal 4 will require stockholders to choose the frequency of every one, two, or three years or to abstain from voting on Proposal 4. The selection receiving the highest number of votes from all votes properly cast at the Annual Meeting will be deemed to be the frequency preferred by our stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 4.

Neither the approval nor the disapproval of Proposal 3 or the result of the voting on Proposal 4 will be binding on the Company or the Board or will be construed as overruling any decision by the Company or the Board or create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for the Company or the Board. However, the Board and the Company will consider the results of these advisory votes in making future decisions on the Company's compensation policies, the compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers, and the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

**What are broker non-votes?**

Stockholders who hold their shares through a broker or other nominee (in ''street name'') must provide specific instructions to their brokers or other nominee as to how to vote their shares, in the manner prescribed by their broker or other nominee. In the absence of instructions, and in accordance with applicable stock exchange rules, brokers and nominees typically have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters, for example the ratification of the appointment of auditors, but not on non-routine matters. If a broker or nominee has not received voting instructions from an account holder and does not have discretionary authority to vote shares on a particular item because it is a non-routine matter, a ''broker non-vote'' occurs.

However, we understand that certain brokers have elected not to vote even on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of auditors, without your voting instructions. If your broker or other nominee has made this decision, and you do not provide voting instructions, your vote will not be cast for any of the Proposals. Accordingly, we urge you to direct your broker or other nominee how to vote by returning your voting materials as instructed or by obtaining a proxy from your broker or other nominee in order to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting.

**Which proposals are considered ''routine'' or ''non-routine''?**

Proposal 2 (the proposed ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm) is considered a routine matter. A broker or other nominee may generally vote in their discretion on routine matters, and therefore no broker non-votes are expected in connection with Proposal 2. Proposals 1, 3, and 4 are considered non-routine and, therefore, brokers cannot vote shares with respect to such proposals with respect to shares that the broker does not receive instructions.

**How many shares of common stock are outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?**

At the Record Date, a total of 155,063,921 shares of Series A common stock and 21,702,510 shares of Series B common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Holders of our Series A common stock are entitled to cast one vote for each share of Series A common stock held by them on the Record Date. Holders of our Series B

common stock are entitled to cast twenty votes for each share of Series B common stock held by them on the Record Date.

**How many votes are required to approve other matters that may come before the Stockholders at the Annual Meeting?**

We require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of votes properly cast for and against this proposal to approve any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, unless a different vote is required by law, by our Certificate of Incorporation, by our Bylaws, or applicable law.

**Is my vote kept confidential?**

We keep confidential and do not disclose proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying stockholders except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

**Where do I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?**

We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC reporting the results within four business days after the date of the Annual Meeting. You can get a copy of that Current Report on Form 8-K by emailing ir@pattern.com or through the EDGAR system at https://www.sec.gov. You can also get a copy from our website at https://investors.pattern.com.

**Who pays for the proxy solicitation process?**

We make the solicitation on behalf of the Company and the Board. We will pay costs of soliciting proxies, including the cost of preparing, posting, and mailing proxy materials. In addition to soliciting stockholders by mail, we will request brokers, banks, and other nominees to solicit their customers who hold shares of our common stock in street name. We may reimburse such brokers, banks, and nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We may also use the services of our officers, directors, and employees to solicit proxies, personally or by telephone, mail, facsimile, or email, without additional compensation other than reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

**How can I get an additional copy of the proxy materials?**

If you would like an additional copy of this Proxy Statement or our 2025 Form 10-K, these documents are available in digital form for download or review at https://investors.pattern.com. Alternatively, we will promptly send a copy to you at no charge upon request by mail to Pattern Group Inc., Attention: Investor Relations, 1441 W. Innovation Way, Suite 500, Lehi, Utah 84043, or by emailing ir@pattern.com.

Proposal 2*Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm*

**Proposed Ratification of Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP**

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Deloitte has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2021. Although ratification of the Audit Committee's selection of Deloitte is not required under our Bylaws or other legal requirements, we are submitting the appointment of Deloitte to the stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Deloitte, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain Deloitte and will consider this fact when it appoints the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Even if the stockholders ratify the selection of Deloitte, the Audit Committee may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm or replace Deloitte with a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if the Audit Committee determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to do so. Representatives of Deloitte are expected to virtually attend the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire.

**Audit Fees**

Deloitte was engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, to review our 2025 and 2024 interim financial statements, to perform services in connection with our registration statements, prospectus, to perform audits of certain subsidiaries in connection with statutory or regulatory filings, and to perform certain accounting consultation services. The aggregate audit fees Deloitte billed us for professional services were $2,347,945 in 2025 (of which $1,122,915 were related to our September 2025 initial public offering), and $486,105 in 2024. All audit fees and other fees occurring after the Company's initial public offering that closed on September 22, 2025, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

**Audit-Related Fees**

Deloitte billed us $0 in 2025 and $0 in 2024 for audit-related fees.

**Tax Fees**

Deloitte billed us $725,699 in 2025 and $387,326 in 2024 for professional services rendered in connection with tax advice.

**All Other Fees**

Deloitte billed us $1,895 in 2025 and $316 in 2024 for a subscription to the Deloitte Accounting Research Tool.

**Auditor Independence**

The Audit Committee has considered the role of Deloitte in providing us with the services described above and has concluded that those services were compatible with the independence of Deloitte from management and from the Company.

**Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

**General**

The Audit Committee has adopted an Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services (the ''Policy'') which sets forth the procedures and the conditions under which all services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm must be pre-approved. Under the Policy 'specific pre-approval' is required for a specific project or service and 'general pre-approval' may be granted for categories of services.

Unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, or if a proposed service exceeds the generally pre-approved cost levels, it requires specific pre-approval. The annual audit services engagement requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Other services in the categories of Audit, Audit-Related, Tax, and All Other Services may be eligible for general pre-approval, subject to conditions like consistency with SEC rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee annually reviews and grants general pre-approval for eligible services. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its independent members. The delegate must present any pre-approval decisions to the full Audit Committee at its next meeting. The Policy does not delegate the Audit Committee's pre-approval responsibilities to Company management.

**Audit Services**

Each fiscal year, the terms and fees of the annual audit services engagement proposed to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit (including required interim reviews performed in accordance with applicable standards) and other procedures required to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to be able to form an opinion on our consolidated financial statements and annual financial statement audits of certain subsidiaries in connection with statutory or regulatory filings. The Policy provides that the Audit Committee will monitor the audit services throughout the year and will also approve, if necessary, any changes in terms and conditions resulting from changes in audit scope or other items. Other audit services not included in the annual engagement letter, such as comfort letters and consents and statutory audits of subsidiaries, may be generally pre-approved.

**Audit-Related Services**

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. Under the Policy, the Audit Committee grants general pre-approval for audit-related services.

---

**Tax Services**

Under the Policy, Tax Services, which include specific tax compliance, planning and advice services, are eligible for general pre-approval by the Audit Committee only if the Audit Committee has reviewed them and determined that they are routine and recurring services. Services provided must also be consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence and not impair the independent registered public accounting firm's independence. Tax services not classified as routine and recurring must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

**All Other Services**

Under the Policy, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for specific permissible non-audit services classified as All Other Services that it believes are routine and recurring services. Services must also not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and be consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence. Services not classified as routine and recurring require further specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

**Procedures**

Under the Policy, each year the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") (or their designee) and our independent registered public accounting firm collaborate on the submission to the Audit Committee of a schedule of audit, audit-related, tax, and other non-audit services that are subject to pre-approval. This schedule provides a description of each type of service that is subject to pre-approval and, where possible, provides projected fees (or a range of projected fees) for each service. The Audit Committee reviews and approves the types of services and reviews the projected fees for the next fiscal year. Any changes to the fee amounts listed in the schedule are subject to further specific approval of the Audit Committee. For any proposed service requiring specific pre-approval, the submission must include a joint written statement from the independent registered public accounting firm and the CFO (or their designee) that the service is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence. The Policy prohibits the independent registered public accounting firm from commencing any project not described in the schedule approved by the Audit Committee until specific approval has been given.

**Vote Required**

The affirmative vote of the majority of the votes properly cast for and against the proposal is required to approve this proposal.

Proposal 3<br>*Advisory Vote on the Compensation Paid by the Company to its Named Executive Officers (''Say on Pay Vote'')*<br>

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K (the ''Named Executive Officers'' or ''NEOs'').

Our executive compensation is discussed in further detail below under the caption ''Compensation Discussion and Analysis'' which, together with the sections following the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, include information about the fiscal year 2025 compensation of our NEOs and a discussion of actions regarding executive compensation that were taken after December 31, 2025.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our NEOs, as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a ''say on pay'' proposal, is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote ''FOR'' the following resolution at our Annual Meeting:

**RESOLVED**, that the stockholders approve the compensation of the Company's NEOs as disclosed in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related narrative discussion).<br>

The Say on Pay Vote is advisory and, therefore, not binding on the Board or on the Company; however, the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

**Vote Required**

The affirmative vote of the majority of the votes properly cast for and against the proposal is required to approve this proposal.

Proposal 4<br>*Advisory Vote on the Frequency (Every One, Two, or Three Years) of Future Say on Pay Votes (''Say on Frequency Vote'')*<br>

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, we are also asking our stockholders to indicate, on an advisory basis, the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. In other words, how often a proposal similar to this year's Proposal 3 will be included in the matters to be voted on at the annual stockholder meeting. The choices available under the Say on Pay rules are every one year, every two years, every three years, or to abstain.

Please mark your proxy card to indicate your preference on this Proposal or your abstention if you wish to abstain. If you fail to indicate your preference or abstention, your shares will be treated as though you chose to abstain on this Proposal.

The frequency selected by the stockholders for conducting Say on Pay Voting at the Annual Meetings will not be binding on the Board or on the Company, and stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board's recommendation. However, the frequency selected will be considered by the Board.

**Vote Required**

The frequency receiving the highest number of votes from all votes properly cast at the Annual Meeting will be deemed to be the frequency preferred by our stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this Proposal.

The frequency preferred by the stockholders for conducting future Say on Pay Votes at the annual stockholder meetings will not be binding on the Board or on the Company, and stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board's recommendation. However, the frequency preferred will be considered by the Board.

The Board

**Board Structure**

During 2025, the Board consisted of seven members. The Board currently consists of six members, after the resignation of Daniel Gay. Mr. Wright, our co-founder and CEO, serves as our Chairman of the Board. Mr. Bailey serves as our Lead Independent Director of the Board. The two nominees for election are current members of the Board. The remaining four directors are expected to continue to serve their terms as described below. Our directors serve staggered terms. This is accomplished as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| ***Three-year***<br>**term**<br>Each director serves a three-year term | ***Three***<br>**classes**<br>The directors are divided into three classes | ***Equal***<br>**in number**<br>The classes are as nearly equal in number as possible | ***Staggered***<br>**schedule**<br>The term of each class begins on a staggered schedule |

---

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them for the nominees. If any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at or prior to the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee, if any, designated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board to fill the vacancy. The proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in such a manner as will ensure the election of the nominees. The term of office of each person elected as a Class I director will continue until the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, until such person's respective successor has been duly elected and qualified or until such person's earlier incapacity, resignation, or removal. It is not expected that any nominee will decline nor be unable to serve as a director.

**Board Independence**

The Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, our Board determined that each of Mr. Bailey, Mr. Hilton, Ms. Mather and Ms. Taylor are independent as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"). In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed![2748779076004](ptrn-20260331_g23.jpg)

relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them as described in the Section titled "Other Information – Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions." Our Board has appointed Mr. Bailey to serve as our lead independent director.

In 2025, five of our seven directors were independent and when Mr. Gay resigned in March 2026, four of our six directors were independent, and we expect a majority of our Board will continue to consist of independent directors after the Annual Meeting. The Board has determined that each of our current directors is independent within the meaning of the director independence standards of Nasdaq, except for our co-founders Mr. Wright, who serves as our CEO, and Ms. Alder, who serves as our Chief Strategy Officer.

**Controlled Company**

We are considered a "controlled company" under the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq, as our co-founders collectively have more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors ("Controlled Company"). As a result, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors on our Board, an entirely independent Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, an entirely independent Compensation Committee, or perform annual performance evaluations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee but may do so if we choose. During 2025, we had five independent directors, all of whom qualified as independent for Audit Committee purposes. Since the resignation of Mr. Gay in March 2026, we have four independent directors, all of whom qualify as independent for Audit Committee purposes.

**Board Leadership Structure**

Mr. Wright has served as our Chairman of the Board since September 2025 and our CEO since November 2018. Mr. Bailey has served as our Lead Independent Director since September 2025. During 2025, the Board consisted of seven directors, all of whom were independent except for our co-founders and executive officers Mr. Wright and Ms. Alder. Following Mr. Gay's resignation in March 2026, the Board consisted of six directors, all of whom were independent except for our co-founders and executive officers Mr. Wright and Ms. Alder. We believe that our current leadership structure is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders, with Mr. Wright serving as Chairman of the Board, and having strong and independent Audit Committee and Compensation Committee Chairs.

The Board believes Mr. Wright is well-positioned to lead the Board and function as a bridge between management and the independent directors, facilitating the regular flow of information. Specifically, the Board believes Mr. Wright is best situated to serve as Chairman of the Board given his deep knowledge of the Company as co-founder and CEO, his extensive knowledge and experience of the day-to-day operations of the business, and his ability to draw on his experience while leading the Board in overseeing Company strategy, business, operations, and financial performance.

**Board and Committee Evaluation**

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Board and each of its committees will perform an annual self-evaluation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will oversee the evaluation process.

**Board Role in Risk Oversight**

Our Board has responsibility for the oversight of our risk management processes and, either as a whole or through its committees, regularly discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our business, and the steps we take to manage them. The risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from Board committees and members of senior management to enable our Board to understand our risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies with respect to areas of potential material risk, including operations, finance, legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, strategic risk, and reputational risk.

**Director Qualifications**

The Board adopted the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, which set forth its belief that candidates for election to the Board should have certain minimum qualifications, including being able to read and understand basic financial statements and having the highest personal integrity and ethics.

In considering candidates recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and otherwise, the Board considers the current composition and needs of the Board, the Company, and its stockholders. The Board also considers factors such as whether the candidate possesses the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| ***Relevant***<br>**experience and expertise** | ***Proven***<br>**achievement and competence in his or her field** | ***Ability***<br>**to exercise sound business judgment** |
| ***Understanding***<br>**of fiduciary responsibilities of a director**  | ***Commitment***<br>**to devoting time and energy to the Company** | ***Commitment***<br>**to the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders** |

---

In the case of incumbent directors, the Board reviews the directors' prior service, meetings attendance, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relationships and transactions that might impair independence. In the case of new director candidates, the Board also determines whether the nominee must be independent for purposes of satisfying applicable listing requirements.

The specific experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills that led the Committee to the conclusion that each director should be a director considering our business and structure are described under ''Proposal 1—Election of Directors.''

**Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Director**

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the current Board composition is serving the stockholders of the Company well. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider without limitation candidates who are recommended by its members, by other Board members, by stockholders, and by management, as well as those identified by third-party search firms retained to assist in identifying and evaluating possible candidates. Candidates may be evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Board, and may be considered at any point during the year.

Stockholders may propose director candidates for general consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by submitting in proper written form the individual's name, qualifications, and biographical information. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate any candidates recommended by stockholders against the same criteria applicable to the evaluation of candidates proposed by directors or management.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not approved any nominee for inclusion on our proxy card for the Annual Meeting other than Mr. Hilton and Ms. Mather. For a stockholder's notice to be timely under our Bylaws for our 2026 Annual Meeting, it must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not later than 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the scheduled date of our Annual Meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such Annual Meeting is first made. To date, the Corporate Secretary has not received a recommended nominee from a security holder that beneficially owned more than 5% of the Company's voting stock for at least one year as of the date the recommendation was made, or from a group of security holders that beneficially owned, in the aggregate, more than 5% of the Company's voting stock, with each of the securities used to calculate that ownership held for at least one year as of the date the recommendation was made.

**Succession Planning**

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing succession plans for the Board, and for developing a CEO succession plan for consideration by the Board.

**Interested Party Communications with the Board**

An interested party, including any stockholder, may communicate with, or otherwise make his or her concerns known, by reaching out to the Board. Interested parties may do so either in writing, by addressing such communication to our Board or Corporate Secretary at the Company's headquarters at 1441 W. Innovation Way, Suite 500, Lehi, Utah 84043, or by email, sent to boardofdirectors@pattern.com. All communications from interested parties regarding matters appropriate for communications with the Board delivered as described will be delivered to the appropriate party or parties. The determination whether a communication involves a matter appropriate for communications to the Board is made by our Corporate Secretary. Stockholders who desire to utilize the procedures described under ''Other Information—Procedure for Submitting Rule 14a-8 Stockholder Proposals'' or ''—Procedure for Nominating Directors for Election at an Annual Meeting" should read those sections and the applicable portions of our Bylaws and follow the procedures described.

**Annual Meeting Attendance**

Our policy is that Board members should attend our annual stockholders meetings if reasonably possible. We completed our initial public offering in September 2025 and did not have an annual meeting of stockholders in 2025.

**Code of Business Conduct and Ethics**

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (''Code of Ethics'') that applies to all of our directors, officers, and employees, including our PEO, Principal Financial Officer (''PFO''), principal accounting officer, and controller, or persons performing similar functions. We will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests for a copy of the Code of Ethics may be made in writing addressed to: General Counsel, Pattern Group Inc., 1441 W. Innovation Way, Suite 500, Lehi, Utah 84043. The Code of Ethics is also available on the Company's website at https://investors.pattern.com.

**Policies and Procedures Regarding Related Party Transactions**

The Board has established a Related Person Transaction Policy, which establishes procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related party transactions. Under the Board's policy, any related party transaction that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K is subject to the prior approval of the Audit Committee unless prior approval is not feasible, in which case the transaction is required to be considered at the Audit Committee's next meeting and, if the Audit Committee determines it to be appropriate, may be ratified at that meeting. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Audit Committee considers, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available from an unrelated person under the same or similar circumstances, whether the transaction is otherwise consistent with the interests of the Company and its stockholders, and the extent of the related person's interest in the transaction. No member of the Audit Committee may participate in any approval or ratification of a related party transaction in which such member is a related person, other than to provide the Audit Committee with all material information regarding the transaction, including information regarding the extent of the member's interest in the transaction. If a related party transaction will be ongoing, the Audit Committee may establish guidelines or other parameters or conditions relating to our participation in the transaction.

**Information Regarding Director Nominees**

**Executive Compensation Actions Taken in 2025**

We completed our initial public offering in September 2025. In connection with the initial public offering, we reviewed our compensation framework and peer market data provided by our compensation consultant, Compensia, Inc. ("Compensia"). Based on the review conducted, actions taken in 2025 included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On September 30, 2025, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Beesley a $500,000 bonus for his personal contributions to our initial public offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On August 26, 2025, the Board approved a grant of 793,184 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to Mr. Beesley, with vesting subject to satisfaction of certain service-based and liquidity-based requirements. 25% of the service-based condition will be satisfied on each anniversary of January 21, 2025, to align with the vesting schedule of Mr. Beesley's prior RSU grant, subject to Mr. Beesley's continued service with Pattern through each applicable vesting date. The liquidity-based condition was satisfied upon our initial public offering in September 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Board adopted the Executive Severance Plan in September 2025 ("Severance Plan"). A detailed description of the Severance Plan is provided in the section titled "Compensation Tables and Narratives— Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Board adopted our 2025 Equity Incentive Plan to provide for equity awards to our employees, officers, directors and other key service providers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We launched our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), with its first offering period starting in December 2025. The ESPP is generally available to all of our employees, including our NEOs who hold less than 5% voting power of our outstanding stock.

We did not make any adjustments to our NEOs base salaries or target bonus opportunities in 2025.

**Summary of Executive Compensation Actions Taken After Year-End**

In March 2026, the Compensation Committee set our NEOs' 2026 salaries and granted RSUs to our executive officers, including NEOs. On March 23, 2026, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Wright 375,000 RSUs and Ms. Alder 125,000 RSUs, subject to continued service through the vesting schedule, with one-half of the award time-vesting on the first anniversary following grant, and one-half of the award time-vesting on the second anniversary following grant, subject to continued service through such dates. These 2026 compensation decisions considered our overall compensation strategy and philosophy, each individual's contributions, and market data from our peer group provided by Compensia.

**Say on Pay Vote and Say on Frequency Vote**

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to which this Proxy Statement relates, we will be conducting our initial non-binding stockholder advisory vote on NEO compensation (the "Say on Pay Vote"). See Proposal 3 in this Proxy Statement. The Say on Pay Vote is advisory and, therefore, not binding on the Board or on the Company. However, because our Stockholders will vote, on an advisory basis, at the Annual Meeting on whether to approve our executive compensation, the Compensation Committee intends to consider the results of the 2026 Say on Pay Vote, as well as feedback received through the year, in future compensation decisions.

In addition, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to which this Proxy Statement relates, we will be conducting a non-binding stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of future Say on Pay Votes. See Proposal 4 in this Proxy Statement. Our Stockholders will be given the opportunity to express a preference for holding future Say on Pay Votes on an annual, biennial or triennial basis. The Board has recommended that future advisory votes regarding our executive compensation be held every year. The Say on Frequency Vote is advisory and, therefore, not binding on the Board or on the Company. However, because our Stockholders will vote, on an advisory basis, at the Annual Meeting on the frequency by which the Say on Pay Vote will be conducted, the Board intends to consider the results of the 2026 Say on Frequency Vote in future decisions regarding frequency of our Say on Pay Vote.

**Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives**

Our executive compensation program is designed to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Attract, retain and motivate our executives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide compensation structures that meet our strategic needs and take into consideration broader market practice; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Align executives' interests with those of our stockholders.

As our business continues to grow and transform, we expect that our compensation practices will continue to evolve. We have, and will, continue to carefully evaluate our compensation practices and develop programs that we believe most appropriately motivate our executives to execute on our strategic and operational objectives, which in turn will drive sustained, long-term value creation for our stockholders.

**How We Determine Executive Compensation**

**Compensation Committee and Board of Directors.** The Compensation Committee was established as part of our initial public offering in September 2025 and administers our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors, is responsible for reviewing and approving our compensation policies, for reviewing and approving all forms of compensation for our executive officers, including our NEOs, for administering our incentive compensation programs, for approving and overseeing the administration of certain employee benefits under our employee benefits programs, and for providing insight and guidance to management with respect to employee compensation and retention generally.

---

The Compensation Committee operates under a charter adopted by the Board. The Compensation Committee will periodically review the adequacy of its charter and recommend changes to the Board for approval as it considers appropriate. The Compensation Committee meets at scheduled times during the year and acts from time to time by written consent. The Compensation Committee approves executive salaries, approves awards under incentive plans, and administers our equity plans. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews comparative executive compensation information from other public companies. Additionally, from time to time, the Compensation Committee reviews other human resource issues, including qualified and non-qualified benefits and succession planning. While the Compensation Committee may delegate to a committee comprised of one or more officer(s) of the Company all or part of its authority to grant certain equity awards, subject to certain parameters, the Compensation Committee has not delegated such authority to date. See the section titled "The Board – Committees of the Board" for details regarding the Compensation Committee Charter and the Compensation Committee responsibilities.

In structuring an executive's total compensation package, our Compensation Committee makes decisions on a case-by-case basis considering the following factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our performance and business needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each executive's prior experience and performance, scope of job function and criticality of his or her skills and contributions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the need to attract new and retain existing talent in a highly competitive market for senior talent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our CEO's recommendations, other than for himself or for Ms. Alder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our culture and values;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each executive's current equity ownership and total direct compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• aggregate compensation cost and impact on stockholder dilution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• positioning relative to market data.

Following the completion of our initial public offering, our Compensation Committee determines the principal components of our NEOs' compensation on an annual basis, although decisions may be made throughout the year as appropriate in the case of new hires, promotions or other special circumstances.

Our Compensation Committee retains an independent compensation consultant (as described below) to provide support in its review and assessment of our executive compensation program; however, the Compensation Committee exercises its own judgment in determining the compensation of our executive officers, including our NEOs.

Prior to the creation of our Compensation Committee, before our initial public offering in September 2025, our management had been responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation for our NEOs other than our CEO and Chief Strategy Officer, as described below, and our Board reviewed and approved the compensation for our CEO and Chief Strategy Officer.

**Management.** Our Board and Compensation Committee, as the case may be, work with and receive information and analyses from, management, including individuals within our legal, finance and human resources functions, in considering and ultimately determining the structure and amount of compensation paid to our NEOs. From time to time, these individuals and other employees, as well as outside advisors or consultants, may make presentations or provide information or advice to the Board or Compensation Committee regarding compensation matters, and may attend portions of Board and Compensation Committee meetings.

Our CEO evaluates and provides assessments of executive performance (other than for himself and our Chief Strategy Officer) to our Compensation Committee and Board, as applicable. He also provides recommendations, outside the presence of any other executives, regarding decisions affecting base salaries, incentive compensation and other compensation-related matters. Our Board and Compensation Committee retain authority to make all compensation decisions for our NEOs, including our CEO. No executive may be present during decisions regarding his or her compensation.

**Compensation Consultants.** Our Board and Compensation Committee have the authority to engage its own advisors, including compensation consultants, to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. Our Compensation Committee (and prior to the establishment of our Compensation Committee, the Board) engaged Compensia, a leading compensation consulting firm, to provide guidance regarding the amount and types of compensation that we pay our executives, how our compensation practices compare to the practices of other similar companies, including with respect to a set of peer companies developed in consultation with Compensia, and other compensation-related matters. Representatives of Compensia attend meetings of our Compensation Committee and Board as requested and also communicate with the Compensation Committee and Board outside of meetings. Compensia reports directly to our Compensation Committee (or Board, as applicable), although it may meet with members of management for purposes of gathering information on proposals that management may make to the Compensation Committee (or Board, as applicable). Compensia did not provide any other services to us in 2025 other than their engagement as an advisor to the Board and Compensation Committee on director and executive compensation matters and reporting of such. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Compensia pursuant to SEC and Nasdaq rules and concluded that no conflict of interest existed that would have prevented Compensia from serving as an independent consultant to the Board or Compensation Committee during 2025 or currently.

**Comparative Market Data.** We believe that it is important to understand the current practices of comparable companies with which we compete for talent to inform compensation decision-making. Accordingly, in January 2025, our Board worked with Compensia to develop a compensation peer group for use as a reference point in assessing 2025 compensation practices, pay levels and market positioning. Compensia undertook a detailed review of U.S.-based publicly-traded companies, taking into consideration our industry sector, the size of such companies (based on revenue and market capitalization) relative to our size and growth rate and the comparability of our:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• business model;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• primary sales channels, including via the internet;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• products focus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operating history;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• geographic location;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• organizational complexities and growth attributes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maturity curve stage (which increases its likelihood of attracting the type of executive talent for whom we compete); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operational performance.

Following this review, in February 2025, we reviewed a peer group consisting of 21 publicly traded companies in related or adjacent industries including: advertising, application software, internet software/services, and consumer discretionary (including retail). Most peers were US-based, with one foreign filer. The revenue range used was approximately 0.3 to 3 times that of Pattern (or approximately $600 million to $5.4 billion in revenues). Business model, operations, and the quality and availability of data were also considered when selecting peers. The 2025 peer group changed from 2024 peers to remove: Beyond (formerly Overstock.com), BigCommerce, Digital Turbine, Qualtrics, Squarespace, and Twilio, and to add: Advantage Solutions, Celsius Holdings, EverCommerce, Ibotta, and Toast.

The peer group was referenced for guidance in setting 2025 base salaries and long-term incentives in the form of equity awards for our executives. We did not specifically benchmark to a particular percentile of our peer group in setting compensation for 2025.

**Elements of Compensation**

Our executive compensation program consists of two primary elements: base salary and long-term incentives in the form of equity awards. During fiscal year 2025, we did not maintain a formal short-term incentive program for our NEOs; however, we did provide ad hoc, discretionary cash bonuses to certain key employees. The 2025 total compensation for our NEOs also included other elements such as matching contributions under our 401(k) plan, benefits under our health, welfare, and supplemental disability benefits plans, the ability to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and severance benefits under the Severance Plan.

**Base Salary.** We believe that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of our compensation program, so that we can attract and retain a stable management team. Base salaries for our NEOs are intended to provide an appropriate, competitive level of fixed cash compensation to compensate an individual for the day-to-day responsibilities associated with his or her role. Generally, we establish base salaries initially through arm's length negotiation upon hire, considering the executives' position, qualifications, experience, prior salary level and the base salaries of our other executive officers. Thereafter, we review base salaries for potential adjustment annually.

For fiscal year 2025 NEO base salaries remained flat relative to 2024 levels. The annual base salaries of each of our NEOs for fiscal year 2025 are listed below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Executive** | **2025 Base Salary ($)** |
| ***David Wright***  | 835000 |
| ***Jason Beesley***  | 731000 |
| ***Melanie Alder***  | 300000<sup>(1)</sup> |

---

1. Ms. Alder's 2025 annual base salary reflects pro-rationing due to her reduced-hour employee status during such year.

**Discretionary Bonuses.** We did not maintain a short-term incentive plan for NEOs in 2025. However, the Company provided ad hoc, discretionary cash bonuses to certain key employees in 2025, including our CFO. On September 30, 2025, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Beesley a discretionary cash bonus in the amount of $500,000, payable in a lump sum, for his individual contributions and efforts in successfully completing our initial public offering. Mr. Beesley was the only NEO to receive a discretionary bonus in 2025.

**Long-Term Incentive Compensation.** We use the grant of awards to provide long-term incentive compensation opportunities to employees, including to our NEOs. In connection with our initial public offering, we adopted a 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan"), which superseded our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "2019 Plan"). Both the 2025 Plan and 2019 Plan provide for the grant of equity-based awards, including RSUs. In fiscal year 2025 and in prior years, we granted equity compensation to our executive officers primarily in the form of RSUs, which serve as a motivation and retention tool, encouraging executives to remain with and build our Company value over the long-term, while motivating them to achieve corporate objectives that in turn deliver sustained value creation. Because RSU awards have value to the recipient even in the absence of stock price appreciation, our Board and the Compensation Committee believe that we are able to incentivize and retain our executive officers using fewer shares than would be necessary if we used stock options to provide an equity stake in the Company. Since the value of RSU awards increases with any increase in the value of the underlying shares, RSU awards also provide incentives to our executive officers that are aligned with the interests of our stockholders. The majority of our NEOs' total direct compensation is delivered in long-term equity incentives.

Our general practice prior to our initial public offering in September 2025 was to grant initial RSUs upon hiring that generally time-vested on an annual basis over four years, with one-fourth of the award time-vesting on the first through fourth anniversaries following grant, subject to continued service through such dates. Subsequently, we provided refresh grants from time-to-time as warranted based on our CEO's recommendation and our Board's consideration of the other factors described above in the section entitled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—How we Determine Executive Compensation." To date, the Board and Compensation Committee have not applied a rigid formula in developing recommendations with respect to the size of the equity awards to be granted to our executive officers. Instead, in making these recommendations, the Board or Compensation Committee, as applicable, has exercised its judgment as to the amount of the awards after considering a competitive market analysis prepared by Compensia, The Board or Compensation Committee members also considers factors such as internal pay parity, recent past/expected future performance potential, unvested equity holdings relative to retention and motivation objectives, company performance, tenure in role, expected cost of replacement, and the varying roles and responsibilities of the executives in setting executive officer compensation. Based upon these factors, the Board or Compensation Committee, as applicable, formulates and determines the size of each award it proposes to recommend at levels it considers appropriate to create a meaningful opportunity for reward predicated on the creation of long-term stockholder value.

On February 11, 2025, our Board approved a grant of 8,813,161 performance-based RSUs to Mr. Wright, with vesting subject to the satisfaction of certain service-based, liquidity-based and milestone-based requirements under a stand-alone RSU award agreement ("Milestone RSUs"). The awards had a contractual term of the earlier of (a) December 31, 2026 if the Company's initial public offering had not closed on or before such date, (b) the date that was 10 years following the grant date of the Milestone RSUs, and (c) the date on which Mr. Wright ceased to serve as the Company's CEO or Chairman of the Board. The RSUs contingently were to vest in one-seventh increments upon the achievement of the applicable milestones, detailed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Milestone One: The closing of the Company's IPO on or prior to December 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Milestone Two: Maintaining an average closing price per share for 120 consecutive trading days of 2x the Company's IPO price after at least 18 months from the IPO date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Milestone Three: Maintaining an average closing price per share for 120 consecutive trading days of 3x the Company's IPO price after at least 18 months from the IPO date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Milestone Four: Maintaining an average closing price per share for 120 consecutive trading days of 4x the Company's IPO price after at least 18 months from the IPO date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Milestone Five: Maintaining an average closing price per share for 120 consecutive trading days of 5x the Company's IPO price after at least 18 months from the IPO date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Milestone Six: Maintaining an average closing price per share for 120 consecutive trading days of 6x the Company's IPO price after at least 18 months from the IPO date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Milestone Seven: Maintaining an average closing price per share for 120 consecutive trading days of 8x the Company's IPO price after at least 18 months from the IPO date.

The Milestone RSU grant was determined to have a value of $43,517,460 at the time of grant, but was subsequently cancelled in August 2025, before any of the above vesting requirements were achieved.

The Company determined the fair values and derived service period (median time to vest) for each tranche of the February 2025 award using valuation techniques which considered the estimates of a Monte Carlo simulation which was computed with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist.

The Monte Carlo simulation for the February 2025 award used an expected volatility of 70.0% and a risk-free interest rate of 4.0%. The enterprise value of the Company was determined using both the income and market approach valuation methodologies, taking into consideration prevailing market conditions. The income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis ("DCF"), estimates the value based on the projected future cash flows the Company is expected to generate. These future cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate derived from the Company's cost of capital, which reflects its risk profile and stage of development.

The market approach estimates the value by comparing the Company to publicly traded peers operating in similar industries. From these comparable companies, representative market multiples were selected and applied to the Company's financial metrics to derive an estimate of enterprise value.

The resulting equity values derived from both approaches were then allocated among the various share classes using a hybrid method that incorporated both the Scenario-Based Method ("SBM"), also known as the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method ("PWERM"), and the Option Pricing Method ("OPM"). This hybrid methodology was selected to reflect potential future outcomes, including a scenario in which the Company completed the initial public offering and another in which it remained privately held.

Under the PWERM, equity values were estimated based on an analysis of potential enterprise values in an initial public offering scenario, taking into account the expected timing and pricing of such an event. For each scenario, equity value was allocated to the share classes under the assumption that each class would act to maximize its economic value with respect to conversion. The scenario-based values were then weighted according to the estimated probability of each scenario occurring and discounted to then-present value.

The OPM was used to estimate the value of the equity classes assuming the Company remained private. This method treated common equity as call options on the Company's enterprise value, with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock (subsequently converted in the initial public offering). Under this framework, common equity was deemed to have value only to the extent the total equity value exceeded the aggregate liquidation preferences at the time of a liquidity event. Once the liquidation preferences were met, any excess value would be shared among the equity holders according to their economic rights, including the impact of conversion features. The analysis also considered the impact of outstanding RSUs.

After the equity values were allocated to the respective share classes, discounts for lack of marketability ("DLOM") were applied to arrive at the fair value of the common equity. The DLOM reflects the reduced liquidity of private

company stock and incorporated factors such as limited transferability, expected holding periods, transaction costs, and market volatility, all of which contributed to a lower fair value compared to a freely tradable security. Estimated volatility ranged from 41% to 46%, and the discount for lack of marketability ranged from 6% to 14%.

On August 26, 2025, our Board approved a refresh grant of 793,184 RSUs to Mr. Beesley, with vesting subject to satisfaction of certain service-based and liquidity-based requirements. 25% of the service-based condition will be satisfied on each anniversary of January 21, 2025, to align with the vesting schedule of Mr. Beesley's prior RSU grant, subject to Mr. Beesley's continued service with Pattern through each applicable vesting date. The liquidity-based condition was satisfied upon our initial public offering in September 2025.

Ms. Alder did not receive an equity award grant in 2025.

In connection with our initial public offering in September 2025, we amended the vesting schedule for all outstanding RSUs so that the liquidity-based condition was satisfied upon the effective date of a registration statement filed by us under the Securities Act for the sale of our Series A common stock, instead of the closing of our initial public offering. There was no accounting expense associated with such modification of RSUs.

Furthermore, in connection with our initial public offering, our Board adopted an equity award grant policy that set forth the process and timing for us to follow when we grant equity awards for shares of our Series A common stock to our employees or advisors or consultants (other than our non-employee directors) pursuant to our equity compensation plans. All grants of equity awards must be approved in advance by our Board, the Compensation Committee or any delegates. Generally, equity awards will be granted on the following regularly scheduled basis as set forth in the equity award grant policy: (a) equity awards granted in connection with the hiring of a new employee or the promotion of an existing employee or the engagement of a new consultant will generally be granted, if at all, on a regular basis and shall become effective on the date on which such grant is approved by the Board, the Compensation Committee or its delegate(s), which shall occur at the regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of the Board, the Compensation Committee or its delegate(s), as applicable; and (b) equity awards granted to existing employees (other than in connection with a promotion) will generally be granted, if at all, on an annual basis and will be effective following the date such grant is approved or such future date as approved by our Board, Compensation Committee or any delegates, as applicable.

Pursuant to the equity award grant policy, the Company will not purposely accelerate or delay the public release of material information in consideration of a pending equity award in order to allow a grantee to benefit from a more favorable stock price. The Board, Compensation Committee or any delegates, as applicable, will consider, and the Company's management will advise the Board, Compensation Committee or any delegates, as applicable, whenever material nonpublic information is planned to be released to the public in close proximity to the grant of an equity award.

We did not grant any stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments in 2025.

**401(k) Plan.** We provide a 401(k) retirement savings plan to help make our overall compensation packages more attractive to all our employees, including our NEOs. We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for U.S. employees that is intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the Code, and contains a cash or deferred feature that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code. U.S. employees who are at least 18 years of age are generally eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan, subject to certain criteria, including attaining at least three months of service with us. Participants may make pre-tax and certain after-tax (Roth) salary deferral contributions to the plan from their eligible earnings up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit under the Code. Participants who are 50 years of age or older may contribute additional amounts based on the statutory limits for catch-up contributions. Participant contributions are held in trust as required by law. An employee's interest in his or her salary deferral contributions is 100% vested when contributed. During 2025, we made 100% matching contributions on the first 3% of eligible compensation, and we made 50% matching contributions on the next 2% of eligible compensation, deferred by eligible employees. Matching and nonelective contributions made by us are immediately vested. We did not make any profit-sharing contributions in 2025. The amounts of the matching contributions to our NEOs are included in the ''All Other Compensation'' column of the Summary Compensation Table.

**Health and Welfare Benefits.** We provide health and welfare benefits to help make our overall compensation packages and work environment more attractive to all of our employees, including our NEOs. These benefits are provided to our NEOs on the same basis as to our other full-time employees, and include (but are not limited to), medical, dental, vision, life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans. In general, we pay the premiums for the life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment insurance for our employees, including our NEOs, subject to certain limitations. We design our employee benefits programs to be affordable and competitive in relation to the market, as well as compliant with applicable laws and practices.

**Employee Stock Purchase Plan.** Our executive officers, including our NEOs whose stock ownership is below 5%, are eligible to participate in our employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") on the same basis as our other full-time employees. However, no NEO is currently participating in our ESPP. The ESPP permits eligible employees to set aside a portion of their compensation during six-month offering periods and use such contributions to purchase shares of our Series A common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the shares on the first business day of the offering period or the last business day of the offering period.

**Executive Severance Plan and Change in Control Benefits.** In connection with our initial public offering in September 2025, our Board adopted the Severance Plan, in which our NEOs and certain other executives are invited to participate. A detailed description of the Severance Plan is provided in the section titled "Compensation Tables and Narratives— Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control."

Our Board believes these severance benefits are important from a retention perspective to provide some level of protection to our executives, and that the amounts are reasonable and maintain the competitiveness of our executive compensation and retention program. Further, our Board believes this structure serves to mitigate the distraction and loss of key executive officers that may occur in connection with a potential or actual change in control. Such payments protect the interests of our stockholders by enhancing executive focus during potential change in control activity, retaining executives despite the uncertainty that generally exists while a transaction is under consideration and encouraging the executives responsible for negotiating potential transactions to do so with independence and objectivity. Payment of severance is contingent on the executive timely providing us with a general release of claims. The benefits provided in the Severance Plan replaced any severance for which our NEOs may have been eligible under their existing severance and change in control agreements.

Prior to our initial public offering in September 2025 and adoption of the Severance Plan, we previously entered into an offer letter agreement with Mr. Beesley that included certain severance and/or change in control benefits in the case of certain qualifying terminations, a change of control of the company, and/or due to death or disability. These benefits were replaced with the benefits contained in the Severance Plan; however, Mr. Beesley is still eligible for the acceleration of vesting provisions applicable to his awards granted prior to the adoption of the Severance Plan, as

described in the section titled "Compensation Tables and Narratives— Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control."

**Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits.** Currently, we do not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of our executive compensation programs. Accordingly, we generally do not provide perquisites or other personal benefits to our NEOs beyond those provided to all employees. In the future, we may provide such benefits to the extent we believe doing so is appropriate to assist an individual in the performance of his or her duties, to make our executive officers more efficient and effective and for recruitment and retention purposes.

**Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan.** During 2025, we did not maintain a traditional nonqualified deferred compensation plan.

**Tax and Accounting Considerations**

**Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.** Under ASC Topic 718, we are required to measure the compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on the grant-date fair value of these awards. We record stock-based compensation expense on an ongoing basis according to ASC Topic 718. The accounting impact of our compensation programs is one of many factors that our Board considers in determining the structure and size of our executive compensation programs.

**Deductibility of Executive Compensation.** Under Section 162(m) of the Code ("Section 162(m)") compensation paid to each of the Company's "covered employees" that exceeds $1 million per taxable year is generally non-deductible unless the compensation qualifies for certain grandfathered exceptions (including the "performance-based compensation" exception) for certain compensation paid pursuant to a written binding contract in effect on November 2, 2017 and not materially modified on or after such date.

Although our Board or Compensation Committee, as applicable, will continue to consider tax implications as one factor in determining executive compensation, our Board or Compensation Committee, as applicable, also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to provide compensation for our NEOs in a manner consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program and the best interests of our company and stockholders, which may include providing for compensation that is not deductible by the Company due to the deduction limit under Section 162(m). Our Board and Compensation Committee also retains the flexibility to modify compensation that was initially intended to be exempt from the deduction limit under Section 162(m) if it determines that such modifications are consistent with our business needs.

**Taxation of "Parachute" Payments.** Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that executive officers and directors who hold significant equity interests and certain other service providers may be subject to additional taxes 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 deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. We have not provided any NEO with a "gross-up" or other reimbursement payment for any tax liability that he or she might owe as a result of the application of Sections 280G or 4999 and we have not agreed and are not otherwise obligated to provide any NEO, with such a "gross-up" or other reimbursement payment.

**Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.** Section 409A of the Code imposes additional significant taxes in the event that an executive officer, director or service provider receives "deferred compensation" that does not satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Although we do not maintain a traditional nonqualified deferred compensation plan, Section 409A of the Code does apply to certain severance arrangements and equity awards. We structure all severance arrangements, and equity awards in a manner to either avoid the application of Section 409A or, to the extent doing so is not possible, to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

**Risks of Our Compensation Policies and Practices**

We periodically analyze and evaluate risks arising from our compensation policies and practices and we have concluded that our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

**Other Compensation Policies and Practices**

**Insider Trading Policy**

**General**

We have adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our securities that applies to our directors, executive officers, employees and certain other persons. Under the policy, covered individuals may not buy, sell or engage in other transactions (including gifts and pledges) in the Company's shares while aware of material non-public information, or disclose material non-public information to any unauthorized persons outside of the Company. The policy also restricts trading and other transactions to defined window periods that follow our quarterly earnings releases and requires compliance with pre-clearance procedures before trading. The policy provides guidance as to what constitutes material information and when information becomes public. It addresses transactions by family members and controlled entities and under Company plans, and discusses the consequences of an insider trading violation.

In addition, the policy prohibits our directors, executive officers, employees and certain other persons from trading in puts, calls or any other derivative securities relating to our shares, and engaging in hedging or monetization transactions relating to in our shares (including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) or short sales of our shares.

We believe that our insider trading policy and repurchase procedures are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to us. A copy of our insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our 2025 Form 10-K.

**Policy Prohibiting Hedging and Pledging** 

In connection with our initial public offering, we adopted and maintain an Insider Trading Policy that, among other things, prohibits all of our employees, our executive officers, including our NEOs, and our directors from engaging in certain transactions and activities relating to our securities. Pursuant to the policy, there is a blanket prohibition on hedging transactions with respect to our securities and our executive officers and the members of our Board are prohibited from engaging in the following transactions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• selling any of our securities that they do not own at the time of the sale, or a short sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• buying or selling puts, calls, other derivative securities of the Company or any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of our securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of our securities or engaging in any other hedging transaction with respect to our securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• using our securities as collateral in a margin account; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pledging our securities as collateral for a loan (or modifying an existing pledge), except as may be approved by our Board.

**Clawback Policy**

As a public company, if we are required to restate our financial results due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws as a result of misconduct, our CEO and CFO may be required to reimburse us for any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation they receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Additionally, in connection with this offering, we have implemented a Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act-compliant compensation recoupment policy in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq requirements, which provides that in the event we are required to prepare a restatement of financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws, we will seek to recover any incentive-based compensation that was based upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure and that was received by any current or former executive officer during the three-year period preceding the date that the restatement was required if such compensation exceeds the amount that the executive officer would have received had the financial results been properly reported.

**Equity Award Grant Policy**

In connection with our initial public offering, our Board adopted an equity award grant policy that sets forth the process and timing for us to follow when we grant equity awards for shares of our Series A common stock to our employees or advisors or consultants (other than our non-employee directors) pursuant to our equity compensation plans. For more details regarding the equity award grant policy, see section titled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Long-Term Incentive Compensation."

2. Amounts shown are the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs granted to the NEOs, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and do not correspond to the actual value that will be realized by the NEOs upon vesting of the RSUs or any sale of the underlying shares. During fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025, Mr. Wright, Ms. Alder and Mr. Beesley were granted RSUs that were subject to both service-based and liquidity-based vesting conditions. The grant date fair value of RSUs granted in fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025 reported in the table above assumes achievement of the liquidity-based vesting condition and therefore the grant date fair value, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, in the table is based on maximum achievement of the performance conditions, which is the same as the grant date fair value, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on probable achievement of the performance conditions. Such grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of the RSUs reported in this column are set forth in Note 12 to our financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

3. Mr. Wright is our Co-Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO, and Principal Executive Officer. Amounts shown in ''All Other Compensation'' in fiscal year 2025 for Mr. Wright include $488 in premiums paid by the Company for long-term disability insurance.

4. For Mr. Wright, the amount shown in "Stock Awards" for fiscal year 2025 represents the aggregate grant date fair value of the Milestone RSUs that were granted on February 11, 2025, the calculation of which is described in the section titled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Long-Term Incentive Compensation." Such Milestone RSUs were subsequently cancelled in August 2025 before any performance conditions were achieved. The amount shown in "Total With All Cancelled Stock Awards" includes the grant date fair value of the cancelled Milestone RSUs and the amount shown in "Total Without Any Cancelled Stock Awards" excludes the grant date fair value of the cancelled Milestone RSUs.

5. Mr. Beesley is our CFO and PFO. Amount shown in "Bonus" in fiscal year 2025 represents a discretionary, cash bonus paid to Mr. Beesley for his individual contributions and efforts in successfully completing our initial public offering in September 2025. Amounts shown in ''All Other Compensation'' in fiscal year 2025 for Mr. Beesley include $2,437 in 401(k) matching contributions and $488 in premiums paid by the Company for long term disability insurance.

6. Ms. Alder is our Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer. Amounts shown in ''All Other Compensation'' in fiscal year 2025 for Ms. Alder include $12,000 in 401(k) matching contributions.

3. The amounts reported represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs granted to Mr. Beesley during fiscal year 2025, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and do not correspond to the actual value that will be realized by Mr. Beesley upon vesting of the RSUs or any sale of the underlying shares. During fiscal year 2025, Mr. Beesley was granted RSUs that are subject to both service-based and liquidity-based vesting conditions. The grant date fair value of RSUs granted in fiscal year 2025 reported in the table above assumes achievement of the liquidity-based vesting condition and therefore the grant date fair value, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, in the table is based on maximum achievement of the performance conditions, which is the same as the grant date fair value, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on probable achievement of the performance conditions. Such grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of the RSUs are set forth in Note 12 to our financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

1. Each equity award is subject to the terms of our 2019 Plan. The equity awards are subject to certain acceleration of vesting provisions pursuant to the Severance Plan (or, in the case of Mr. Beesley's equity awards granted prior to our initial public offering in September 2025, subject to certain acceleration of vesting provisions pursuant to his offer letter). None of our NEOs have received any stock options.

2. Amounts are calculated by multiplying the number of RSUs shown in the table by closing market price of a share of our Series A common stock on December 31, 2025, which was $11.54.

3. The RSUs are subject to vesting based on the satisfaction of both a service-based vesting condition and a liquidity-based vesting condition. The service-based vesting condition is satisfied as follows: 50% of the RSUs satisfy such condition on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining 50% of the RSUs satisfy such condition on the second anniversary of the vesting commencement date, subject to the NEO's continued service with us on each applicable date. The liquidity-based condition is satisfied on the earlier of our change in control, as defined in the applicable award agreement, or the effective date of a registration statement filed by us under the Securities Act for the sale of our Series A common stock, in each case prior to the expiration date. The liquidity-based condition was satisfied by our initial public offering in September 2025.

4. The RSUs are subject to vesting based on the satisfaction of both a service-based vesting condition and a liquidity-based vesting condition. The service-based vesting condition is satisfied as follows: 25% of the RSUs satisfy such condition on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining 75% of the RSUs satisfy such condition in three (3) equal annual installments thereafter, subject to the NEO's continued service with us on each applicable date. The liquidity-based vesting condition is satisfied on the earlier of our change in control, as defined in the applicable award agreement, or the effective date of a registration statement filed by us under the Securities Act for the sale of our Series A common stock, in each case prior to the expiration date. The liquidity-based condition was satisfied by our initial public offering in September 2025.

1. The value realized upon vesting of RSUs is calculated by multiplying the number of shares of RSUs vested by the market price on the vest date (or the preceding trading day if the vesting date was not a trading day).

**Fiscal Year 2025 Pension Benefits**

We did not offer any defined benefit pension plans for our employees in 2025.

**Fiscal Year 2025 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation**

We did not offer any non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements for our employees in 2025.

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

**Jason Beesley**

Prior to completion of our initial public offering in September 2025, Mr. Beesley entered into an offer letter which provided for certain post-employment compensation benefits, which were superseded in large part by the post-employment compensation benefits conferred on Mr. Beesley in the Severance Plan adopted by the Board in connection with the initial public offering. However, Mr. Beesley's acceleration rights under his offer letter, for awards granted prior to the initial public offering, were grandfathered and remain intact, as described below.

Pursuant to Mr. Beesley's offer letter, in the event of a change of control, as defined in the applicable award agreement, other than an initial public offering, the service-based vesting condition for Mr. Beesley's outstanding RSUs were to be deemed fully satisfied, provided that upon the closing of such change of control, 50% of the value of such RSUs would be paid to Mr. Beesley in cash upon the closing of the change of control and the remaining 50% would be paid to him on the first anniversary of the closing of the change of control, unless Mr. Beesley had been terminated for cause, as defined in the 2019 Plan, prior to the date that payment of the second installment came due. Mr. Beesley will be entitled to payment of the second installment upon his termination without cause, as defined in the applicable award agreement, Mr. Beesley's resignation for good reason, as defined in the offer letter, Mr. Beesley's death or Mr. Beesley's termination due to disability.

In addition, in the event of death, disability or voluntary resignation other than a resignation for good reason upon a prior notice of at least three (3) months, as defined in the offer letter, he would be entitled to his then vested RSUs, and, with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of his RSUs that would have time-vested on the next immediate anniversary

of the vesting commencement date had he remained employed, a portion of such unearned twenty-five percent (25%) of the RSUs equal to the product of (x) the twenty-five percent (25%) and (y) the fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months (partial deemed an entire month) he was employed during the 12-month period that ends on the immediate upcoming anniversary of his vesting commencement date, and the denominator of which is 12.

Furthermore, (i) in the event that Mr. Beesley had been terminated without cause, as defined in the applicable award agreement, or resigned for good reason, as defined in his offer letter, prior to the first anniversary of the applicable grant date of his RSUs, he would be entitled to receive one (1) year of base salary payable in a lump sum within 30 days of the date his employment ceases, and the RSUs would be forfeited and (ii) in the event that Mr. Beesley was terminated without cause or resigned for good reason after the first anniversary of the applicable grant date of his RSUs, he would be entitled to his then vested RSUs and fifty-percent (50%) acceleration of time-based vesting with respect to his unvested RSUs as of the date immediately prior to the date his employment ceased, subject, in each case, to Mr. Beesley's timely execution of a separation agreement including a release in favor of us.

**Executive Severance Plan**

In connection with our initial public offering, our Board adopted the Severance Plan, which provides that upon a (i) termination of employment by us for any reason other than due to "cause," as defined in the Severance Plan, death or "disability," as defined in the Severance Plan, or (ii) resignation for "good reason", as defined in the Severance Plan, in each case outside of the change in control period (i.e., the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months after a "change in control," as defined in the Severance Plan), an eligible executive officer will be entitled to receive, subject to the execution and delivery of an effective and irrevocable release of claims in favor of the Company and continued compliance with all applicable restrictive covenants, (A) 12 months of "base salary" (i.e., the higher of the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of termination or the annual base salary in effect for the year immediately prior to the year in which the date of termination occurs) for our CEO, 12 months for Tier 2 officers (which is determined by the plan administrator and includes the NEOs other than the CEO) and 6 months for Tier 3 officers (which is determined by the plan administrator) and (B) an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution, based on the premiums as of the date of termination, that we would have made to provide health insurance for the applicable executive officer if he or she had remained employed by us for up to 12 months for our CEO, 12 months for Tier 2 officers and 6 months for Tier 3 officers. The payments under (A) and (B) will be paid in substantially equal installments in accordance with our payroll practice over 12 months for our CEO, 12 months for Tier 2 officers and 6 months for Tier 3 officers.

The Severance Plan also provides that upon a (I) termination by us other than due to cause, death or disability or (II) resignation for good reason, in each case within the change in control period, an eligible executive officer will be entitled to receive, in lieu of the payments and benefits above and subject to the execution and delivery of an effective and irrevocable release of claims in favor of the company and continued compliance with all applicable restrictive covenants, (w) a lump sum amount equal to 150% of the base salary and 150% of the target annual bonus in effect immediately prior to the date of termination (or immediately prior to the change in control, if higher) for our CEO, 100% of the base salary and 100% of the target annual bonus in effect immediately prior to the date of termination (or immediately prior to the change in control, if higher) for our Tier 2 officers and 50% of the base salary and 50% of the target annual bonus in effect immediately prior to the date of termination (or immediately prior to the change in control if higher) for our Tier 3 officers, (x) an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution, based on the premiums as of the date of termination, that we would have made to provide health insurance for the applicable executive officer if he or she had remained employed by us for up to 18 months for our CEO, up to 12 months for our Tier 2 officers and up to 6 months for our Tier 3 officers, and (z) for all outstanding and unvested equity awards of the company that are subject to time-based vesting held by the officer, full accelerated vesting of such awards; provided, that any outstanding and unvested equity awards subject to performance-based vesting will be deemed satisfied in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement.

In addition, Mr. Beesley shall continue to be eligible for the acceleration of vesting provisions applicable to Mr. Beesley's awards granted prior to the adoption of the Severance Plan, as described above.

The payments and benefits provided under the Severance Plan in connection with a change in control may not be eligible for a federal income tax deduction by us pursuant to Section 280G of the Code. These payments and benefits may also subject an eligible officer, including the NEOs, to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code. If the payments or benefits payable in connection with a change in control would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, then those payments or benefits will be reduced if such reduction would result in a higher net after-tax benefit to the officer.

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

The table below quantifies the potential payments and benefits that would have become due to our NEOs assuming that one of the triggering events below occurred as of December 31, 2025. The market price of a share of our Series A common stock on December 31, 2025 was $11.54.

1. Assumes that all outstanding equity awards were not assumed, continued or substituted by an acquirer or successor in such change in control. Under the 2025 Plan, in connection with a change in control, if outstanding equity awards are not assumed, continued or substituted by an acquirer or successor, then all time-based awards will become immediately vested and exercisable, as applicable, as of the effective time of the change in control.

PEO Pay Ratio

*22 to 1*<br>**PEO Pay Ratio**<br>(Without Any Cancelled Stock Awards)<br>

Following is a description of the relationship of the total annual compensation of our median employee identified in 2025 under the below criteria (''Median Employee''), and the total annual compensation of our CEO and PEO, Mr. Wright. The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. The SEC rules provide companies with significant flexibility in identifying the Median Employee and calculating the pay ratio, including flexibility to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Accordingly, the pay ratio below may not be comparable with the pay ratios of other companies, even companies within our industry.

For 2025, our last completed fiscal year:

• the annual total compensation of our Median Employee was $38,120;

• the annual total compensation of Mr. Wright, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement, in the column titled "Total Without Any Cancelled Stock Awards," is $835,488. Based on this information, for 2025, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our PEO to the annual total compensation of our Median Employee is 22 to 1; and

• the annual total compensation of Mr. Wright, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement, in the column titled "Total With All Cancelled Stock Awards," is $44,352,948. Based on this information, for 2025, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our PEO to the annual total compensation of our Median Employee is 1,164 to 1.

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, and to determine the annual total compensation of the Median Employee, the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates that we used were as follows:

We determined that, as of October 1, 2025, our employee population consisted of approximately 2,032 individuals working at Pattern Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, with 878, or 43.2%, of these individuals located in the United States, and the remaining 1,154, or 56.8%, located abroad in the countries set forth below. Because our non-U.S. employees account for more than 5% of our total employee population, we included all of our non-U.S. employees in our analysis. We used our existing internal payroll records to determine that non-U.S. employees accounted for more than 5% of our total employee population as of October 1, 2025. Our employee population is located in the below areas:

To identify the ''median employee'' from our employee population, we used our internal records, which track annualized wages and salaries for all of our employees as well as additional pay components such as overtime, bonuses, commissions, and other benefits provided by the Company to determine the total compensation for each of our employees who were employed by the Company on October 1, 2025, excluding Mr. Wright. For our employees located abroad that were paid in a currency other than US Dollars, we converted their compensation into US Dollars using the exchange rate on October 1, 2025 (1 INR = $0.011275 USD; 1 CNY = $0.140449 USD; 1 GBP = $1.3474 USD; 1 AUD = $0.6605 USD; 1 HKD = $0.128515 USD; 1 AED=$0.2723 USD; 1 CAD = $0.716692 USD; 1 EUR = $1.1723 USD; 1 PLN = $0.2755 USD; 1 RSD = 0.0100 USD; 1 SGD = $0.776217 USD). No cost of living adjustments were made for non-U.S. employees to identify the median employee. We annualized pay for employees employed for less than a full fiscal year (e.g. new hires, employees on leave, etc.) but did not annualize pay for temporary or seasonal positions.

Using this methodology, we determined that our Median Employee is a full-time, salaried employee located in Pune, India. Our Median Employee's annual wages for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2025 were $40,928. With respect to the annual total compensation of our Median Employee, we identified and calculated the elements of such employee's compensation for the year ended December 31, 2025 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $38,120. The difference between such employee's annual wages and the employee's actual annual total compensation represents a difference of $2,808 paid to the employee due to the employee receiving a salary increase of approximately 12% on August 1, 2025, which the employee received for a partial year.

With respect to the annual total compensation of Mr. Wright in 2025, we used the amount reported in the ''Total'' column of the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement without annualizing the compensation, and disclosed his Total compensation, both with his cancelled Milestone RSUs and without his cancelled Milestone RSUs.

**Pay Versus Performance** 

Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K requires us to provide the following disclosure regarding the compensation for our CEO, who is our PEO, and the average compensation for our other non-PEO Named Executive Officers ("Non-PEO NEOs"). The amounts shown for "compensation actually paid" have been calculated in accordance with SEC rules and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by any of our NEOs. The table includes adjustments as described in the footnotes and also provides information on our cumulative total stockholder return ("TSR"), the cumulative TSR of our peer group, net income, and our company-selected measure, which is revenue. Our initial public offering occurred in September 2025, and we do not present information for years prior to when we became a public reporting company. The information contained in this "Compensation Tables and Narratives—Pay Versus Performance" section will not be incorporated into any of our filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate such information by reference therein.

1. Amounts shown are the total compensation as calculated in the Summary Compensation Table for our CEO and PEO (Mr. Wright) and the average for our non-PEO NEOs (Ms. Alder and Mr. Beesley).

2. Amounts shown reflect "compensation actually paid" for our CEO and PEO and the average compensation actually paid for our non-PEO NEOs, calculated in accordance with SEC rules and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received. As required, the dollar amounts include (among other items) unvested amounts of equity compensation that may be realizable in future periods, and as such, the dollar amounts shown do not fully represent the actual final amount of compensation earned or actually paid to either individual during the applicable years. The adjustments made to the Summary Compensation Table to determine compensation actually paid (with fair value measured at year-end rather than at grant) are shown in the table below.

3. Total Stockholder Return reflects the cumulative total shareholder return of an initial $100 investment in our Series A common stock, measured from the stock price at market close on September 19, 2025 ($15.63 per share) (the date our Series A common stock began trading on Nasdaq), and calculated using the stock price at market close on December 31, 2025 ($11.54 per share). Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance. There were no dividends or other earnings paid in the covered fiscal years.

4. The peer group used for the purpose of this disclosure in each covered year is the S&P 500 Information Technology (Sector) Index which we also use in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our 2025 Form 10-K. This column assumes $100.00 was invested in this peer group on September 19, 2025 (same period as used for footnote (3) above).

5. Reflects the Net Income reported in our audited financial statements for the fiscal year.

6. Revenue, in our view, represents a core driver of the Company's performance and stockholder value creation hence is considered the most important financial measure used to link compensation actually paid to our CEO and Non-PEOs to our performance in 2025.

(a)No dividends or earnings were paid, and there were no changes in pension values as we do not sponsor any pensions. Other than the Milestone RSUs, described in footnote (b) below, amounts shown include aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs granted to the NEOs, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and do not correspond to the actual value that will be realized by the NEOs upon vesting of the RSUs or any sale of the underlying shares. During fiscal year 2025, Mr. Beesley was granted RSUs that were subject to both service-based and liquidity-based vesting conditions. The grant date fair value of Mr. Beesley's RSUs granted in fiscal year 2025 reported in the table above assumes achievement of the liquidity-based vesting condition and therefore the grant date fair value, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, in the table is based on maximum achievement of the performance conditions, which is the same as the grant date fair value, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on probable achievement of the performance conditions. Such grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of the RSUs reported in this column are set forth in Note 12 to our financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

(b)The amounts reported includes $43,517,460 for the aggregate grant date fair value of the Milestone RSUs granted to Mr. Wright on February 11, 2025, the calculation of which is described in the section titled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Long-Term Incentive Compensation." Such Milestone RSUs were subsequently cancelled in August 2025 before any performance conditions were achieved.

(c)This amount reflects the value of unvested shares as of December 31, 2025. Shares granted in prior periods did not have a value in the prior year because the liquidity vesting condition had not been satisfied prior to the Company's initial public offering.

(d)This amount reflects the value of shares that vested during 2025. Shares that were granted in prior periods did not have a value in the prior year because the liquidity vesting condition had not been satisfied prior to the Company's initial public offering.

**Most Important Measures for Determining Named Executive Officer Pay**

The measures listed below were the most important performance measures used to align the compensation actually paid to our NEOs in 2025 with our performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Free Cash Flow

**Relationship between Pay and Performance**

We completed our initial public offering in September 2025. Compensation Actually Paid ("CAP"), as defined by SEC rules, reflects adjustments to the value of equity awards based on factors such as year-end stock price, but does not represent actual payouts. CAP generally moves with our stock price. While revenue was not part of a formal 2025 compensation plan, we view revenue as the most important measures for determining executive officer pay because it represents a core driver of the Company's performance and stockholder value creation. The relationship between CAP and each of TSR, and net income is expected to become more meaningful over time as we establish a longer track record as a public company.

Below are graphs showing the relationship of "Compensation Actually Paid" to our CEO and other NEOs (on average) in our fiscal year 2025 to (1) TSR of our common stock and the S&P 500 Information Technology (Sector) Index, (2) our net income, and (3) our Revenue.

**Compensation of Directors**

**Director Agreements**

**Susan Taylor and Ann Mather**. Ms. Taylor and Ms. Mather joined our Board on May 28, 2025 and June 17, 2025, respectively. We entered into a director agreement with each of Ms. Taylor and Ms. Mather. Pursuant to such director agreements, each of Ms. Taylor and Ms. Mather is eligible to receive an initial grant of 25,030 RSUs for Pattern's common stock (the "Initial Grant") which was granted following the applicable individual's appointment to our Board and which is subject to vesting based on the satisfaction of both certain service- and liquidity-based vesting conditions. With respect to the service-based vesting condition, one-third of the Initial Grant will satisfy such condition in three (3) equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries, respectively, of the applicable individual's appointment to our Board, subject to the applicable individual's continued service with Pattern on each applicable date. Pursuant to such director agreements, each of Ms. Taylor and Ms. Mather is also eligible to receive an annual grant of 11,780 RSUs for Pattern's common stock (the "Annual Grant") which will be granted following the applicable individual's appointment to our Board and, which will be subject to vesting based on the satisfaction of both certain service- and performance-based vesting conditions. With respect to the service-based vesting condition, the Annual Grant will satisfy such condition on the earlier of one year from the date of the applicable individual's appointment to our Board or the next annual meeting of our stockholders, subject to the applicable individual's continued service with Pattern on the applicable date. The Initial Grant and the Annual Grant liquidity-based vesting condition was satisfied when our registration statement was declared effective in our initial public offering.

In addition, pursuant to such director agreements, each of Ms. Taylor and Ms. Mather is entitled to receive an annual cash retainer of $55,000, payable in equal quarterly installments (and for Ms. Taylor only, an initial annual cash retainer of $18,000, payable in equal quarterly installments, for services on the Audit Committee, which amount increased to $24,000 following our initial public offering). Each of Ms. Taylor and Ms. Mather is eligible to receive reimbursement for her travel expenses reasonably incurred for performing her obligations as a director.

**Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy**

Our non-employee directors receive cash and equity compensation for their service on the Board and its committees. The Compensation Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board the compensation of our non-employee directors; however, the Board ultimately approves the compensation for our non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee is empowered to engage outside advisors, experts, and others to assist it in evaluating and making recommendations regarding non-employee director compensation. The Board and Compensation Committee, as applicable, engaged Compensia to provide market data regarding non-employee director compensation in February 2025 in connection with the initial public offering. As part of its annual review process, the Compensation Committee reviews the non-employee director compensation to evaluate whether it is competitive with market practices. The Compensation Committee and Board will continue to monitor compensation trends, competitive practices, tax regulations, and other matters related to non-employee director compensation, and make adjustments as appropriate.

In establishing the non-employee director compensation, the Board considers competitive market data for comparable companies provided to it by the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant, and also the appropriate compensation for the amount of time and effort the directors are required to devote to the Company's business. Taking these factors into consideration, in an attempt to provide fair compensation to the non-employee directors for their services to the Company, the Board adopted a non-employee Director Compensation Policy on September 9, 2025, in connection with our initial public offering, the material terms of which are described below.

Under the policy, our non-employee directors are eligible to receive cash retainers (which will be prorated for partial years of service) as set forth below:

In addition, the non-employee director compensation policy provides that upon initial election to our Board, each non-employee director will be granted a RSU award with a value of $375,000 ("Initial Grant"). The Initial Grant will vest in equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date. Further, on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders, each non-employee director who continues as a non-employee director following such meeting will be granted an annual RSU award with a value of $187,500 ("Annual Grant"). The Annual Grant will vest in full on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date or (ii) our next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date. If a non-employee director joins our Board on a date other than the date of the annual meeting of our stockholders, then such non-employee director will be granted, upon appointment to our Board, a prorated portion of the Annual Grant based on the number of days between such appointment and the first June 15th following such appointment as the numerator and 365 as the denominator (the "Pro-Rated Annual Grant"). The Pro-Rated Annual Grant will vest in full on the earlier of: (i) the first anniversary of the grant date, or (ii) our next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date. The Initial Grants and Annual Grants (including any Pro-Rata Annual Grants) are subject to full accelerated vesting upon the sale of Pattern.

The aggregate amount of compensation, including both equity compensation and cash compensation, paid to any non-employee director of Pattern in a calendar year period for services as a director will not exceed $1,000,000 in the first calendar year such individual becomes a non-employee director and $750,000 in any other calendar year.

We will reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by directors for their attendance at meetings of the Board or any committee thereof.

Employee directors will receive no additional compensation for their service as a director.

**Director Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025**

The following table presents the total compensation for each person who served as a non-employee director of our Board during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Other than as set forth in the table and described more fully below, we did not pay any compensation, make any equity awards or non-equity awards to or pay any other compensation to any of the non-employee members of our Board in 2025 for their services as members of the Board. Mr. Wright and Ms. Alder served as members of our Board, as well as serving as employees, and were not separately compensated for their services as members of the Board. The compensation paid to Mr. Wright and Ms. Alder are reported in the "Compensation Tables and Narratives—Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025."

1. As of December 31, 2025, Ms. Mather, Ms. Taylor, and Mr. Hilton held 36,810, 36,810, and 12,500 RSUs, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, Mr. Bailey and Mr. Gay did not hold any outstanding equity awards.

2. Amounts shown are the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs granted to the non-employee directors, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and do not correspond to the actual value that will be realized by the non-employee directors upon vesting of the RSUs or any sale of the underlying shares. During fiscal year 2025, the non-employee directors were granted RSUs that were subject to both service-based and liquidity-based vesting conditions. The grant date fair value of RSUs granted in fiscal year 2025 reported in the table above assumes achievement of the liquidity-based vesting condition and therefore the grant date fair value, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, in the table is based on maximum achievement of the performance conditions, which is the same as the grant date fair value, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, based on probable achievement of the performance conditions. Such grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of the RSUs reported in this column are set forth in Note 12 to our financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Amounts reported in this column reflects the accounting cost for the award and does not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by our directors upon vesting of the RSUs or any sale of the shares.

3. Ms. Taylor's 'Fees Earned or Paid in Cash' are prorated for her service on the Board starting May 2025.

1. Represents shares subject to outstanding RSU awards under the 2019 Plan and 2025 Plan. No new awards may be granted under the 2019 Plan. The amount reflected does not include purchase rights accruing under the ESPP as of December 31, 2025 because the purchase rights (and, therefore, the number of shares to be purchased) will not be determined until the end of the purchase period on May 31, 2026.

2. Represents shares available for issuance under the 2019 Plan, 2025 Plan, and the ESPP, in each case as of December 31, 2025. Subject to the number of shares remaining in the share reserve, the maximum number of shares purchasable by any participant in the ESPP on any one purchase date for any purchase period, including the current purchase period, may not exceed the number of shares of Series A common stock determined by dividing $25,000 by the fair market value of the Series A common stock on the first day of the offering. The amount reflected includes purchase rights accruing under the ESPP as of December 31, 2025 because the purchase rights (and, therefore, the number of shares to be purchased) will not be determined until the end of the purchase period on May 31, 2026.

3. The 2025 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2025 Plan will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2035 by up to 3% of the outstanding number of shares of our Series A and Series B common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 (on an as converted to Series A common stock basis) or such lesser number of shares as determined by our plan administrator. The shares underlying any awards under the 2019 Plan and the 2025 Plan that are forfeited, canceled, held back to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without issuance of stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) will be added into the 2025 Plan. The ESPP provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2035 by the least of (i) 3,086,351 shares of our Series A common stock, (ii) 1% of the outstanding number of shares of our Series A and Series B common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 (on an as converted to Series A common stock basis) or (iii) such lesser number of shares as determined by our plan administrator. No increase was made to the 2025 Plan or the ESPP from January 1, 2026.
