On April 10, 2026, we entered into Stock-Settled Performance Award Amendment Agreements (the “Amendment Agreements”) with each of Jorik Ittmann, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas DeByle, our Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Thomas Carll, our Senior Vice President, General Manager–Aerospace, and Michael Natalizia, our Chief Technology Officer and Vice President–Technical & Strategic Alliances. The Amendment Agreements amend the terms of Stock Settled Performance Awards (“SSPAs”) previously issued to Messrs. Ittmann, DeByle, Carll and Natalizia to provide that, at the discretion of the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, the SSPAs may be settled in cash, rather than shares of our common stock. The Amendments do not vary any other terms of the SSPAs.
