On June 13, 2025, the Issuer completed its previously announced acquisition of Edge Autonomy via the mergers set forth in the Amended Merger Agreement.

As contemplated by the Amended Merger Agreement, in connection with the Closing, the Issuer, Holdings and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "AE Industrial Stockholders"), Seller, and certain other stockholders of the Issuer entered into the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement ("A&R Investor Rights Agreement"), which amends and restates that certain Investor Rights Agreement, dated March 25, 2021. Among other things, the A&R Investor Rights Agreement provides that (i) the AE Industrial Stockholders will be permitted to designate four (4) directors for election to the Issuer's board of directors, which number would be reduced once the AE Industrial Stockholders no longer hold fifty percent (50%) or more of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the AE Industrial Stockholders (excluding Common Stock beneficially owned by Seller) at the Closing and (ii) Seller will be permitted to designate one (1) director for election to the Issuer's board of directors so long as Seller continues to hold twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Redwire Common Stock beneficially owned by Seller (excluding Redwire Common Stock beneficially owned by the AE Industrial Stockholders) at the Closing, provided that so long as the AE Industrial Stockholders and Seller collectively may nominate an aggregate of five (5) directors to the Redwire Board, all but one (1) director must be independent under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and, if less than five (5), a majority must be independent. Additionally, the A&R Investor Rights Agreement provides for certain registration rights, including (i) that, as soon as reasonably practicable, and, in any event, within ninety (90) days following the Closing, the Issuer will file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC covering the resale of all shares of Common Stock and warrants or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, or other equity securities issued in respect thereof held by the stockholders party to the A&R Investor Rights Agreement or any of their permitted transferees (the "Registrable Securities"), (ii) demand registration rights for each of the AE Industrial Stockholders and the Seller following the Lock-Up (as defined below), and (iii) unlimited piggyback registration rights for each holder of Registrable Securities to require that their Registrable Securities be included in certain registration statements filed by Redwire. The A&R Investor Rights Agreement also provides that none of the AE Industrial Stockholders and Seller will sell or otherwise transfer their Registrable Securities for 180 days following the Closing (such provisions, the "Lock-Up"), in each case, except for transfers to permitted transferees who agree to be bound by the A&R Investor Rights Agreement. References to and the description of the A&R Investor Rights Agreement set forth in this Item 6 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is incorporated by reference as set forth under Exhibit 2 and is incorporated by reference herein.
