Dear Fellow Stockholders:
I am pleased to invite you to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Owlet, Inc. (“Owlet”) on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Our Annual Meeting will be completely virtual, and you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. We believe this format will provide a consistent experience for our stockholders and allows all stockholders with Internet connectivity to participate in the Annual Meeting regardless of location. Our Annual Meeting will be conducted via live webcast, and you can access the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OWLT2026.
We are using the “Notice and Access” method of providing proxy materials to our stockholders by electronic delivery via the Internet. We believe electronic delivery expedites your receipt of and provides convenient access to our proxy materials, reduces the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting and reduces proxy material printing and distribution costs. Under this method, we have sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice & Access Card”) to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 15, 2026 (the “Record Date”). The notice contains instructions on how to access our 2026 Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) and 2025 Annual Report and vote electronically on the Internet. This notice and our Proxy Statement also contain instructions on how to request and receive a printed copy of our proxy materials if you prefer.
To attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OWLT2026 or follow the instructions provided by your bank or broker. Please be advised that only stockholders who held Owlet shares as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and will be permitted to participate and vote at the Annual Meeting. Your proxy card, voting instruction form or Notice and Access Card will include a 16-digit control number. Upon entering your control number online, you will receive further instructions, including unique hyperlinks that will allow you to access, submit questions and vote at the virtual Annual Meeting.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote. It is important that your shares be represented and voted at the Annual Meeting. Please promptly cast your vote by telephone or electronically via the Internet or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, by completing and returning your signed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or to the address indicated on your proxy card or voting instruction form. Voting electronically, by telephone or by returning your proxy card does not deprive you of the right to attend the Annual Meeting virtually and vote your shares during the Annual Meeting for the business matters acted upon. Additional attendance, participation and voting information is included in the Proxy Statement and with your proxy materials.
As Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Owlet, I am inspired by our customers and deeply committed to helping parents find joy and extra peace of mind in parenting through our industry-leading digital health infant monitoring platform. On behalf of the Board of Directors and management, we appreciate your continued support, confidence and investment in Owlet.

If you submit your proxy card but do not indicate any voting instructions, the Company, by way of the Named Proxies, will vote your shares FOR the election of each of the Class II director nominees named in Proposal 1 and FOR Proposals 2, 4 and 5, and ONE YEAR for Proposal 3.
Can I change my vote after I have delivered my proxy card or voting instruction form?
Yes. Regardless of whether you voted by Internet, telephone or mail, if you are a registered stockholder, you may change your vote and revoke your proxy by taking one of the following actions:
| | | | | | | | |
| • | Delivering a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices (our address is provided under the “Principal Executive Offices” section), provided such statement is received no later than August 11, 2026. |
| | |
| • | Voting again by Internet or telephone at a later time but before the closing of those voting facilities at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 11, 2026. |
| | |
| • | Submitting a properly signed proxy card with a later date that is received by the Company no later than August 11, 2026. |
| | |
| • | Attending the Annual Meeting and voting during the Annual Meeting live webcast. |
Your most recent proxy card or telephone or Internet proxy is the one that is counted. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Company’s Corporate Secretary before your proxy is voted or you vote online at the Annual Meeting.
If your shares are held in street name, please refer to information from your bank, broker or other nominee on how to revoke or submit new voting instructions.
What is the difference between a registered stockholder and a beneficial owner or “street name” holder?
If your shares are registered in your name directly with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our stock transfer agent, you are considered a stockholder of record, or a registered stockholder, of those shares.
If your shares are held on your behalf by a broker, bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are said to be held in “street name.” With respect to those shares, your bank, broker or other nominee is considered the registered stockholder and should provide you with a Notice & Access Card or voting instruction form for you to use in directing the bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Please refer to the information from your bank, broker or other nominee on how to submit your voting instructions.
What constitutes a quorum?
A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card or authorize a proxy to vote electronically or telephonically, your shares will be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even if you abstain or fail to vote as indicated in the proxy materials. Broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.
Virtual attendance of a stockholder at the Annual Meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) will be included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.
What if a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting?
If a quorum is not present or represented at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, then (i) the chairperson of the Annual Meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present or represented.
What are abstentions and broker non-votes?
Abstentions. If you specify on your proxy card that you “abstain” from voting on an item, your shares will be counted as present and entitled to vote for the purpose of establishing a quorum and have no effect on the voting results for Proposals 1, 2, 3 or 4. For the purpose of determining whether the stockholders have approved Proposal 5, abstentions will have no effect on the Capital Stock Vote and will have the same effect as an “against” vote on each of the Series A Vote and Series B Vote.
Broker Non-Votes. Generally, a broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (i) the broker has not received voting instructions from the stockholder who beneficially owns the shares and (ii) the broker lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner, without voting
instructions from such beneficial owner, on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 4). On the other hand, all other proposals are non-routine matters and, absent voting instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, your broker does not have discretion and is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on such matters. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present and have no effect on the matters voted upon other than Proposal 5. For the purpose of determining whether the stockholders have approved Proposal 5, broker non-votes will have no effect on the Capital Stock Vote and will have the same effect as an “against” vote on each of the Series A Vote and Series B Vote.
What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?
It means that your shares are held in more than one account at the transfer agent and/or with banks or brokers. Please vote all of your shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each set of proxy materials, please submit your proxy by phone, via the Internet, or by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope.
What if during the check-in time or during the Annual Meeting I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual meeting website?
If you encounter any technical difficulties with accessing or participating in the Annual Meeting via the virtual meeting website on the meeting day, please contact technical support at the email address or telephone number displayed on the virtual Annual Meeting webpage on the www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OWLT2026 website.
Who will count the votes?
Representatives of Broadridge Investor Communications Services (“Broadridge”) will tabulate the votes, and a representative of Broadridge will act as inspector of election.
Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?
The Company will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by directors, officers or employees (for no additional compensation) in person or by telephone, electronic transmission and facsimile transmission. Brokers and other nominees will be requested to solicit proxies or authorizations from beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses. We may also engage the services of a proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies and provide related advice and informational support for a services fee and the reimbursement of customary disbursements that are not expected to exceed $75,000 in the aggregate.
Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
We intend to announce the preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting, and we expect to publish the final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within the four business day deadline of the Annual Meeting.
PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Board Size and Structure
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the number of directors shall be established from time to time by our Board of Directors. Our Board has fixed the number of directors at eight, and as of the date of this Proxy Statement, there are eight members of our Board of Directors.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board be divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class of directors must stand for reelection no later than the third annual meeting of stockholders subsequent to their initial appointment or election to the Board, provided that the term of each director will continue until the election and qualification of their successor or their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Generally, subject to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement described herein, vacancies or newly created directorships will be filled, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, only by (i) the vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or (ii) a sole remaining director. A director appointed by the Board to fill a vacancy will hold office until the next election of the class for which such director was chosen, subject to the election and qualification of his or her successor and his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.
Current Directors, Classes and Terms
Our current directors and their respective classes and terms are set forth below. The current term of the Class II directors ends at the Annual Meeting, and Class I and Class III at the 2028 and 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, respectively.

Nominees for Director
Mr. Stoll and Mr. Workman have been, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, nominated by the Board to stand for election. As the directors assigned to Class II, the current terms of service for Messrs. Stoll and Workman will expire at the Annual Meeting. If elected by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, Messrs. Stoll and Workman will each serve for a term expiring at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2029 (the “2029 Annual Meeting”) and until the election and qualification of their respective successor or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.
Each person nominated for election has consented to be named and to serve as a director if elected at the Annual Meeting, and the Board has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. If, however, prior to the Annual Meeting, the Board should learn that any nominee will be unable to serve for any reason, the proxies that otherwise would have been voted for this nominee will be voted for a substitute nominee as selected by the Board. Alternatively, the proxies, at the Board’s discretion, may be voted for that fewer number of nominees as results from the inability of any nominee to serve. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in this proposal.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the election of each of Mr. Stoll and Mr. Workman as a Class II director to the Board to hold office until the 2029 Annual Meeting and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified.
PROPOSAL 2 - NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
We are seeking approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (NEOs) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as described in this Proxy Statement in the section titled “Executive and Director Compensation,” the compensation tables and the narrative discussion relating to the compensation tables set forth in this Proxy Statement. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, and is rather intended to address the overall compensation of our NEOs and the policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. This non-binding advisory vote is commonly referred to as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal.
Background and Compensation Philosophy
As described in detail under the heading “Executive and Director Compensation,” our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, retain, and motivate high-caliber executives who are critical to Owlet’s long-term success and growth. Our philosophy focuses on:
•Aligning the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders by tying a significant portion of compensation to equity and long-term performance.
•Rewarding the achievement of specific strategic, operational, and financial performance goals.
•Balancing responsible, measured compensation practices with effective incentives that encourage our NEOs to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company.
We encourage stockholders to read the executive compensation tables and narrative disclosures in this proxy statement for a detailed description of our executive compensation programs.
Stockholders are being asked to approve the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s compensation disclosure rules which disclosure includes the compensation tables and the narrative disclosures that accompany the compensation tables) is hereby approved.”
This vote is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company or our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and its committees value the opinions of our stockholders, and to the extent there is any significant vote against the executive compensation described in this Proxy Statement, our compensation committee will consider the impact of such vote on our compensation policies and decisions.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.
PROPOSAL 3 - FREQUENCY OF NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
We are providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote, on an advisory basis, to approve the frequency with which we include in our Proxy Statement an advisory vote, similar to Proposal 2 above, to approve or not approve the compensation of the named executive officers. In particular, we are asking whether the advisory vote on executive compensation should occur once every year, every two years or every three years.
Our Board of Directors has determined that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is the most appropriate alternative for the Company. Our Board of Directors’ determination was influenced by the fact that the compensation of our named executive officers is evaluated, adjusted, and approved on an annual basis. As part of the annual review process, the Board of Directors believes that stockholder sentiment should be a factor that is taken into consideration by our Board of Directors and compensation committee in making decisions with respect to executive compensation. By providing an advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis, our stockholders will be able to provide us with direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as described in the proxy statement every year. We understand that our stockholders may have different views as to what is the best approach for the Company, and we look forward to hearing from our stockholders on this agenda item every year.
This vote is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company or our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and its committees value the opinions of our stockholders, and even though this vote will not be binding, our Board of Directors will take into account the outcome of this vote in making a determination on the frequency of future advisory votes to approve executive compensation.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the option of every “ONE YEAR” as the preferred frequency for a non-binding advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers.
PROPOSAL 4 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit and Risk Committee appoints our independent registered public accounting firm. In this regard, the Audit and Risk Committee evaluates the qualifications, performance and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm and determines whether to re-engage our current firm. As part of its evaluation, the Audit and Risk Committee considers, among other factors, the quality and efficiency of the services provided by the firm, including the performance, technical expertise, industry knowledge and experience of the lead audit partner and the audit team assigned to our account; the overall strength and reputation of the firm; the firm’s global capabilities relative to our business; and the firm’s knowledge of our operations. PwC has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2020. Upon consideration of these and other factors, the Audit and Risk Committee has appointed PwC to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
Our Board has directed that this appointment be submitted to our stockholders for ratification. Although ratification of our appointment of PwC is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, we value the views of our stockholders and believe that stockholder ratification of our appointment is a good corporate governance practice. In the event that the appointment of PwC is not ratified by the stockholders, the Board and Audit and Risk Committee may reconsider its selection. Even if the appointment of PwC is ratified, the Audit and Risk Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Representatives of PwC are expected to attend the Annual Meeting and to have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and All Other Fees
The following table sets forth the fees of PwC, our independent registered public accounting firm, billed to the Company related to each of the last two fiscal years.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Fee Category | | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Audit Fees | | $ | 1,774,800 | | | $ | 1,428,407 | |
| Audit-Related Fees | | — | | | — | |
| Tax Fees | | — | | | — | |
| All Other Fees | | 2,000 | | | 2,000 | |
| Total | | $ | 1,776,800 | | | $ | 1,430,407 | |
Audit Fees
Audit fees consisted of fees for professional services provided in connection with the audit of Owlet’s annual consolidated financial statements, the performance of interim reviews of Owlet’s quarterly unaudited financial information, comfort letters, and consents.
Tax Fees
Tax fees consisted primarily of the fees related to sales and use tax including nexus studies, registrations and compliance.
All Other Fees
All other fees consisted of subscription license fees.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The formal written charter for our Audit and Risk Committee requires that the Audit and Risk Committee pre-approve all audit services to be provided to us, whether provided by our principal auditor or other firms, and all other services (review, attest and non-audit) to be provided to us by our independent registered public accounting firm, other than de minimis non-audit services approved in accordance with applicable SEC rules.
The Audit and Risk Committee has adopted a policy (the “Pre-Approval Policy”) that sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm may be pre-approved. The Pre-Approval Policy generally provides that the Audit and Risk Committee will not engage an independent registered public accounting firm to render any audit, audit-related, tax or permissible non-audit service unless the service is either (i) explicitly approved by the Audit and Risk Committee (“specific pre-approval”) or (ii) entered into pursuant to the pre-approval policies and procedures described in the Pre-Approval Policy (“general pre-approval”). Unless a type of service to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm has received general pre-approval under the Pre-Approval Policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit and Risk Committee or by a designated member of the Audit and Risk Committee to whom the committee has delegated the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any member of the Audit and Risk Committee to whom the committee delegates authority to make pre-approval decisions must report any such pre-approval decisions to the Audit and Risk Committee at its next scheduled meeting. If circumstances arise where it becomes necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval categories or above the pre-approved amounts, the Audit and Risk Committee requires pre-approval for such additional services or such additional amounts. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval. For both types of pre-approval, the Audit and Risk Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
On an annual basis, the Audit and Risk Committee reviews and generally pre-approves the services (and related fee levels or budgeted amounts) that may be provided by our independent registered accounting firm without first obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee may revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
The above-described services provided to us by PwC were provided under engagements entered into in accordance with such policies.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit and Risk Committee operates pursuant to a charter which is reviewed annually by the Audit and Risk Committee. Additionally, a brief description of the primary responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Committee is included in this Proxy Statement under the section titled “Corporate Governance— Audit and Risk Committee”. Under the Audit and Risk Committee charter, management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the appropriateness of accounting principles and financial reporting policies and for establishing and maintaining our internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing our financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit and Risk Committee reviewed and discussed with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Audit and Risk Committee also discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC. In addition, the Audit and Risk Committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letters from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding such independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit and Risk Committee concerning independence and discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm their independence from the Company.
Based upon the review and discussions described in the preceding paragraph, the Audit and Risk Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 5 — APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE OWLET, INC. 2021 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN
The 2021 Plan was initially approved and adopted by the board of directors of Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation (“SBG”) on February 12, 2021 and was approved by SBG stockholders on July 14, 2021 in connection with the business combination of SBG with Old Owlet and amended by the Board on June 14, 2024, which was in turn approved by our stockholders on August 16, 2024. The 2021 Plan reserved for issuance thereunder an aggregate of the sum of (i) 92,575 shares of Common Stock (such number of shares adjusted to reflect our 1-to-14 reverse stock split effected in July 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split”)); (ii) any shares of Common Stock that were subject to awards outstanding under the Old Owlet 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) as of July 15, 2021 that become available for issuance under the 2021 Plan pursuant to Article V of the 2021 Plan; (iii) an annual increase (the “Evergreen Increase”) on the first day of each calendar year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board or a committee thereof; and (iv) 400,000 shares of Common Stock. All share amounts set forth in this Proposal 5 have been adjusted, as applicable, for the Reverse Stock Split.
The Board is seeking approval of an amendment to the 2021 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan by an additional 600,000 shares (the “Plan Amendment”). The effectiveness of the Plan Amendment is subject to stockholder approval. The Plan Amendment is attached hereto as Appendix A. The 2021 Plan, incorporating the Plan Amendment, is referred to herein as the “Amended Plan.”
A summary of the Amended Plan is set forth below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the proposed Amended Plan.
Reasons for the Proposed Plan Amendment
Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the Plan Amendment Proposal, including for the following reasons:
| | | | | | | | |
| • | We believe that our future success as a company depends on our continued ability to attract, recruit, motivate and retain high-quality talent. We view being able to continue to provide equity-based incentives as critical to achieving this success as we compete for talent in an industry in which equity compensation is market practice and is expected by existing personnel and prospective candidates. We intend our equity awards to motivate high performance levels and to align the interests of our employees, non-employee directors and consultants with those of our stockholders by giving such individuals an equity stake in our Company and by providing a means of recognizing such individuals’ contributions to our success. The Board and management believe equity awards are necessary to remain competitive in our industry and are essential in a competitive labor market and industry to attracting, recruiting, motivating and retaining the highly qualified employees and other service providers who help us meet our goals. |
| | |
| • | Providing long-term incentive compensation opportunities in the form of equity awards aligns the interests of the Company’s employees, directors and consultants with the long-term interests of our stockholders, linking compensation to Company performance. The use of equity awards as compensation also allows the Company to conserve cash resources for other important purposes. |
| | |
| • | While we have endeavored to conserve shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan since the last amendment thereof, ordinary course utilization, together with other factors, such as the recent decline in our stock price and management team transitions, have materially reduced our share reserve thereunder, impacting our ability to attract, recruit, motivate and retain high-quality talent in a competitive market. The Amended Plan will permit us to grant equity awards sized consistently with the competitive market that vest over a longer period of time to better retain our employees and other service providers. |
Burn Rate and Overhang
In administering our equity program, we consider both our “burn rate” and our “overhang.” We define “burn rate” as the number of shares underlying restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options granted in the year, net of cancellations, divided by the sum of the undiluted weighted-average shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year (including RSAs) plus the number of shares underlying RSUs and stock options that have been granted and are outstanding. The “burn rate” measures the potential dilutive effect of our annual equity award grants. In 2025, we granted no stock options, no RSAs, and 1,585,885 RSUs. Stock options covering 93,176 shares of Common Stock and 106,877 RSUs were forfeited or canceled in 2025. The number of undiluted weighted-average shares outstanding during 2025 was 18,294,461, and the total number
of shares of Common Stock underlying stock options and restricted stock units was 2,805,976 as of December 31, 2025. For 2025, our burn rate was 6.57%. Our three-year average burn rate from 2023 through 2025 was 8.96%.
We define “overhang” as the shares subject to outstanding RSUs and stock options outstanding but not exercised, plus shares available to be granted (the “available shares”), divided by the total shares of Common Stock outstanding plus the available shares. The overhang measures the potential dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and available shares.
The following table shows the details of shares available for grant as of June 15, 2026, and as of December 31, 2025, including overhang calculations, and the June 15, 2026, details are presented on a pro forma basis and assume stockholders approve the Amended Plan:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2021 Plan | June 15, 2026 | | 12/31/2025 |
| Total estimated shares available to grant under 2021 Plan | 2,087,184 | | | 168,331 | |
| Shares underlying outstanding stock options and RSUs under the 2021 Plan and 2014 Plan | 2,200,653 | | | 2,805,976 | |
| Total overhang | 4,287,837 | | | 2,974,307 | |
| Shares outstanding | 29,063,954 | | | 27,507,926 | |
| Total overhang percentage | 14.75 | % | | 10.81 | % |
We believe that our burn rate and equity overhang are reasonable in light of the trading range of our Common Stock and hiring initiatives and reflect a reasonable use of equity for compensation purposes.
Overview of Key Change Implemented by the Plan Amendment
The Plan Amendment increases the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2021 Plan by 600,000 shares, such that the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan is equal to the sum of (i) 1,296,050 shares of Common Stock; (ii) any shares of Common Stock that were subject to awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan as of July 15, 2021 that become available for issuance under the 2021 Plan pursuant to Article V of the 2021 Plan; (iii) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board or a committee thereof; (iv) 400,000 shares of Common Stock; (v) 375,000 shares of Common Stock; and (vi) 600,000 shares of Common Stock.
In the event that stockholders do not approve the Plan Amendment Proposal, the Plan Amendment will not become effective and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan will revert to the sum of (i) 1,296,050 shares of Common Stock; (ii) any shares of Common Stock that were subject to awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan as of July 15, 2021 that become available for issuance under the 2021 Plan pursuant to Article V of the 2021 Plan; (iii) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board or a committee thereof; (iv) 400,000 shares of Common Stock; and (v) 375,000 shares of Common Stock.

Administration
The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) (or, with respect to awards to non-employee directors and any other awards determined appropriate, the Board) (together, the “administrator”) is charged with the general administration of the Amended Plan. The Amended Plan provides that, subject to certain limitations, the Board and the Compensation Committee may from time to time delegate its authority to grant awards to a committee consisting of one or more members of the Board or one or more of our officers. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Plan, the administrator will have the authority to select the persons to whom awards are to be made; to determine the type of awards to be granted, the number of shares to be subject to awards and the terms and conditions of awards; to determine when awards can be settled in cash, shares, other awards or whether to cancel, forfeit or surrender awards; to prescribe the form award agreements; to accelerate vesting or lapse restrictions; and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the Amended Plan. The administrator will also be authorized to adopt, amend or rescind rules relating to the administration of the Amended Plan, excluding certain matters described below that will require the approval of our stockholders.
Eligibility
Persons eligible to participate in the Amended Plan include the non-employee members of the Board, currently comprised of seven non-employee directors, approximately 120 employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (including two NEOs) and zero consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case, as determined by the administrator of the Amended Plan. Only employees may be granted ISOs under the Amended Plan.
Limitation on Awards and Shares Available
If our stockholders approve the Amended Plan, the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2021 Plan will increase by 600,000 shares, such that the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan is equal to the sum of (i) 1,296,050 shares of Common Stock; (ii) any shares of Common Stock that were subject to awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan as of July 15, 2021 that become available for issuance under the 2021 Plan pursuant to Article V of the 2021 Plan; (iii) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board or a committee thereof; (iv) 400,000 shares of Common Stock; (v) 375,000 shares of Common Stock; and (vi) 600,000 shares of Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be issuable upon exercise of ISOs is 54,364.
If all or any part of an award granted under the Amended Plan or the 2014 Plan expires, lapses or is terminated, converted into an award in respect of shares of another entity in connection with a spin-off or other similar event, exchanged for cash, surrendered, repurchased, canceled without having been fully exercised or forfeited, in any case, in a manner that results in us acquiring shares of Common Stock covered by the awards at a price not greater than the price paid for such shares or not issuing any shares covered by the award, the unused shares of Common Stock covered by the award will, as applicable, become or again be available for awards under the Amended Plan. In addition, the following shares of Common Stock will be available for future grants of awards: (i) shares tendered or withheld by us in payment of the exercise price of an option; (ii) shares tendered or withheld by us to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an award; and (iii) shares subject to SARs that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SARs at exercise.
As of June 15, 2026, the closing trading price of a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $4.66.
Awards
The Amended Plan provides for the grant of ISOs, NSOs, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, dividend equivalents, performance bonus awards and other stock or cash based awards. Each award will be set forth in an agreement with the person receiving the award and will set forth the type, terms and conditions of the award, including exercise price, vesting schedule and treatment of awards upon termination of employment, if applicable. Vesting provisions may require that certain conditions be met, such as continued employment or specified performance goals before an awardee may receive the shares underlying an award or before such shares become freely tradeable and nonforfeitable.
Stock Options. Stock options, including ISOs and NSOs may be granted pursuant to the Amended Plan. The per share exercise price of all stock options granted pursuant to the Amended Plan will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, or in the case of ISOs granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, 110% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. Stock options may be exercised as determined by the administrator, but in no event more than ten years after their date of grant, or in the case of ISOs granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all class of our capital stock, five years. The aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an employee in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000, or such other amount as the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides, with the portion of any option in excess of such limit automatically deemed an NSO.
Restricted Stock. Restricted stock may be granted pursuant to the Amended Plan. A restricted stock award is the grant of shares of Common Stock that is nontransferable and may be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture until specific conditions are met. Conditions may be based on continuing employment or service or achieving performance goals. During the period of restriction, participants holding shares of restricted stock have full voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares. The restrictions will lapse in accordance with a schedule or other conditions determined by the administrator. Dividends that otherwise would be paid prior to vesting are held by the Company and will be paid to the participants only to the extent that the vesting conditions are met.
SARs. SARs may be granted pursuant to the Amended Plan, either alone or in tandem with other awards. A SAR is the right to receive payment of an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the SAR. SARs may be paid in cash or stock. SARs may be exercised as determined by the administrator, but in no event more than 10 years after their date of grant.
RSUs. RSUs represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock at a specified date in the future, subject to forfeiture of such right. If the RSUs have not been forfeited, then on the date specified in the agreement evidencing the RSU award we will deliver to the holder of the RSUs unrestricted shares of Common Stock which will be freely transferable.
Dividend Equivalents / Dividends. Dividend equivalents represent the value of the dividends per share of Common Stock paid by the Company, calculated with reference to the number of shares covered by an Award (other than an option or SAR) held by the participant. Dividend Equivalents will not be granted on options or SARs.
Performance Bonus Awards. Each performance bonus award constitutes the right to receive a bonus denominated in the form of cash (but may be payable in cash, stock or a combination thereof) and is payable upon the attainment of performance goals that are established by the administrator and relate to one or more of performance or other specific criteria, including service to us or our subsidiaries, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the administrator.
Other Stock or Cash Based Awards. Other stock or cash based awards are awards of cash, fully vested shares of Common Stock and other awards valued wholly or partially by referring to, or otherwise based on, our Common Stock. Other stock or cash-based awards may be granted to participants and may also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of base salary, bonus, fees or other cash compensation otherwise payable to any individual who is eligible to receive awards. The administrator will determine the terms and conditions of other stock or cash-based awards, which may include vesting conditions based on continued service, performance and/or other conditions.
Limits for Non-Employee Directors. Under the Amended Plan, the maximum grant date fair value of equity-based awards and cash payable pursuant to cash-based awards granted to a non-employee director under the Amended Plan during any calendar year shall not exceed $1,000,000.
Prohibition on Loans for Award Payments. Directors or executive officers of the Company are not permitted to make payment with respect to any awards granted under the Amended Plan with loans from the Company.
Repricing Without Stockholder Approval
The administrator retains the discretion to amend the terms of outstanding awards without the approval of our stockholders to (a) reduce the exercise price per share of outstanding options or SARs or (b) cancel outstanding options or SARs in exchange for cash, other awards or options or SARs with an exercise price per share that is less than the exercise price per share of the original options or SARs.
Awards Subject to Clawback
Awards granted under the Amended Plan (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by a participant) are subject to the clawback provisions of our Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation as well as may be required by applicable law or any other clawback policy adopted by us.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Adjustment Upon Certain Events
In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization, distribution of assets or any other corporate event affecting the Common Stock or the share price of the Common Stock in a manner that causes dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits under the Amended Plan, the administrator will make proportionate and equitable adjustments, in its discretion, to: (i) the aggregate number and types of shares of stock that may be issued under the Amended Plan; (ii) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards; (iii) the terms and conditions of any outstanding awards (including any grant or exercise price and any applicable performance targets); and/or (iv) granting new awards or making cash payments to participants.
In addition, in such a case as noted above or in the event of any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company, or of changes in applicable laws, the administrator, may, in its discretion, subject to the terms of the Amended Plan, take any of the following actions if it determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Amended Plan or with respect to any award: (i) provide for the cancellation and payment of the award; (ii) provide that the awards shall be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (iii) make adjustments in the number and type of shares of stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding awards and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding awards which may be granted in the future; (iv) provide for the acceleration of vesting or exercisability of the awards; (v) replace such Awards with other rights or property selected by the administrator; and/or (vi) provide that the awards cannot vest or be exercised after the event that triggers the action.
If a Change in Control of the Company occurs (as defined in the Amended Plan), unless the administrator elects to terminate an Award in exchange for cash, rights or property or cause an Award to become fully exercisable and no longer subject to any forfeiture conditions as of prior to the Change in Control, all outstanding Awards shall be continued, assumed or substituted by the successor corporation or any parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation and any portion of the Award that is subject to performance-based vesting will be treated as set forth in the applicable Award agreement or, in the absence of such treatment, in the administrator’s discretion. If the successor corporation or any parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for an award, the vesting award will accelerate and the award will become fully vested and exercisable and all restrictions on the award will lapse prior to the Change in Control and, to the extent unexercised as of the Change in Control, the Award will terminate in exchange for cash, rights or property.
Transferability of Awards
Except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved from time to time by the administrator or as otherwise provided by the administrator, no award granted under the Amended Plan may be assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the awardee, unless and
until the award has been exercised or the shares underlying the award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to the shares have lapsed.
Rights as a Stockholder
An awardee will not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by an Award until the awardee becomes the owner of the shares.
No Rights as Employee
Nothing in the Amended Plan or in any Award agreement will give any awardee under the Amended Plan any right to continue as an employee, consultant or non-employee director for our Company or any of our subsidiaries or will interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of any such entity to discharge any awardee at any time.
Data Privacy
The Amended Plan provides that, as a condition of receipt of any award, each awardee explicitly consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data by and among, as applicable, us and our subsidiaries, including any transfer of this data required to a broker or other third party with whom we or any of our subsidiaries or the awardee may elect to deposit any shares, to implement, administer and manage the awardee’s participation in the Amended Plan.
Tax Withholding
We may deduct or withhold, or require an awardee to remit to our Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable withholding tax obligations with respect to any taxable event concerning the awardee arising as a result of the Amended Plan or any Award. The administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, or in satisfaction of such additional withholding obligations as an awardee may have elected, allow the awardee to satisfy these obligations by means of cash or check, wire transfer of immediately available funds, shares, broker-assisted cashless exercise or any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the administrator. The Administrator may allow the awardee to elect to have us withhold shares otherwise issuable under any Award (or allow the surrender of shares). The number of shares which may be withheld (or surrendered) will be no greater than the number of shares having a fair market value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in the awardee’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income and payroll taxes.
Amendment and Termination
The Amended Plan may be amended, modified or terminated at any time and from time to time; provided that, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Amended Plan shall, without the consent of the awardee, materially and adversely affect any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted or awarded, unless the Award itself otherwise expressly so provides or such action is to comply with the requirements of any applicable clawback policy or Section 409A of the Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended Plan requires us to obtain stockholder approval within twelve (12) months before or after increasing the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan.
In addition, subject to applicable law and the limitations above, the administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including substituting another award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or settlement, and converting an ISO to an NSO. The awardee’s consent to such action will be required unless (a) the administrator determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the awardee, or (b) the change is otherwise permitted under the Amended Plan.
Termination
The administrator may terminate or suspend the Amended Plan at any time, provided that no ISOs will be granted pursuant to the Amended Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date the 2021 Plan was approved by the Board of Directors. Any award outstanding on the termination date of the Amended Plan will remain in force according to the terms of the Amended Plan and the applicable award agreement.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
This discussion regarding federal tax consequences is intended for the general information of our stockholders, not Amended Plan awardees. Alternative minimum tax and state and local income taxes are not discussed and may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality.
A participant granted NSOs having an exercise price per share that equals at least fair market value on the date of grant will not recognize taxable income at the time of grant. The Company is generally entitled to deduct and the optionee recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise. A participant granted ISOs will not recognize taxable income upon grant. Additionally, if applicable holding period requirements are met, the participant will not recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock received over the option price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of sale and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and the Company will not be entitled to any deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the ISO will be treated as one which does not meet the requirements of the Code for ISOs and the tax consequences described for NSOs will apply.
The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the Amended Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: SARs are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as NSOs; nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid, if any, only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant); RSUs, dividend equivalents and other types of awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment. Compensation otherwise effectively deferred is taxed when paid. In each of the foregoing cases, the Company will generally have a corresponding deduction at the time the participant recognizes income, subject to Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to our current and former NEOs. The recipient of a cash-based Award generally realizes ordinary income and we are entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the amount of cash paid upon payment thereof.
New Plan Benefits
As of June 15, 2026, 2,200,653 shares of Common Stock underlie stock options, RSAs and RSUs outstanding under the Amended Plan.
Our named executive officers and directors have an interest in this proposal because they are eligible to participate in the Amended Plan. The Amended Plan does not provide for set benefits and we have not approved any awards that are conditioned on stockholder approval of the Amended Plan. However, as discussed in further detail in the section entitled “Director Compensation,” each of our current non-employee directors is entitled to receive a grant of RSUs every year immediately following the date of the annual meeting of our stockholders. As of the date of the Annual Meeting, such awards will be granted under the Amended Plan.
The following table summarizes the aggregate value of the shares that our non-employee directors as a group will receive if those that are nominated are elected and remain a director following the Annual Meeting. It also highlights the fact that none of our executive officers or employees will receive any set benefits or awards that are conditioned upon stockholder approval of the Amended Plan. Other than with respect to annual grants of RSUs to our non-employee directors that will be made immediately following the date of the Annual Meeting, all future awards under the Amended Plan are subject to the discretion of the administrator, and therefore it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received in the future by other participants in the Amended Plan.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines can be found on our Investor Relations website at www.investors.owletcare.com, or you may request a hard copy by contacting our Corporate Secretary at our address and telephone number provided under the “Principal Executive Offices” section of this Proxy Statement. Among the topics addressed in our Corporate Governance Guidelines are:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| • | Board independence and qualifications | | • | Conflicts of interest |
| | | | |
| • | Executive sessions of independent directors | | • | Board access to senior management |
| | | | |
| • | Selection of new directors | | • | Board access to independent advisors |
| | | | |
| • | Director orientation and continuing education | | • | Board self-evaluations |
| | | | |
| • | Limits on board service | | • | Board meetings |
| | | | |
| • | Change of principal occupation | | • | Meeting attendance by directors and non-directors |
| | | | |
| • | Term limits | | • | Meeting materials |
| | | | |
| • | Director responsibilities | | • | Board committees, responsibilities and independence |
| | | | |
| • | Director compensation | | • | Succession planning |
Board Leadership Structure
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board of Directors with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer according to the Board’s determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. If the Board Chairperson is a member of management or does not otherwise qualify as independent, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for the appointment of a lead independent director (the “Lead Director”) by the independent directors of the Board. The Lead Director’s responsibilities include but are not limited to (i) presiding over all meetings of the Board at which the Board Chairperson is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors, (ii) approving Board meeting schedules and agendas and (iii) acting as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, at such times as the Board Chairperson qualifies as independent, such Chairperson will serve as Lead Director.
The positions of our Board Chairperson and our Chief Executive Officer are currently held by two separate individuals. Mr. Susan serves as Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Workman serves as our Chief Executive Officer. In his capacity as the independent Board Chairman, Mr. Susan also performs the functions of the Lead Director.
The Board believes that our current leadership structure of having two separate individuals serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board also believes that this structure strikes the appropriate balance between the Chief Executive Officer’s responsibility for the strategic direction, day-to-day leadership and Company performance and the Board Chairperson’s responsibility to guide the overall strategic direction of our Company, provide oversight of our corporate governance and guidance to our Chief Executive Officer and establish the agenda for, and preside over, Board meetings.
From October 1, 2025, Mr. Workman transitioned from the Chief Executive Officer role to Executive Chairman of the Board, however on April 6, 2026, Mr. Workman stepped back into the President and Chief Executive Officer role following Mr. Jonathan Harris’ departure from the Company. Once this transition occurred, Mr. Susan stepped back into his prior role of Chairman of the Board.
The Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and make such changes in the future as the Board deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.
Director Independence
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the applicable New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, a director is not independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that he or she does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries. In addition, the director must meet the bright-line tests for independence set forth by the NYSE rules.
Our Board has undertaken a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning their background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that none of Mmes. Durr, Gonzales and McCullough and Messrs. Burke, Kim, Stoll and Susan, representing seven of our eight directors, has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors qualifies as “independent” as that term is defined under the NYSE rules. In making these determinations, our Board considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the director’s beneficial ownership of our Common Stock and the relationships of our non-employee directors with certain of our significant stockholders.
Board Committees
Our Board of Directors has three standing committees: an Audit and Risk Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which has the composition and the responsibilities described below. In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of our Board when necessary to address specific issues. Each of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| • | Appointing, compensating, retaining and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm and any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us; |

The members of our Audit and Risk Committee are Ms. Durr (Chairperson), Mr. Kim, and Mr. Stoll. All members of our Audit and Risk Committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable NYSE rules and regulations. Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each member of our Audit and Risk Committee qualifies as “independent” under NYSE’s additional standards applicable to Audit and Risk Committee members and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) applicable to Audit and Risk Committee members. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Durr qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of SEC Regulation S-K.
Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:
| | | | | | | | |
| • | Reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives and setting our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation; |
| | |
| • | Overseeing the evaluation of the performance of our other executive officers and reviewing and setting, or making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding, the compensation of our other executive officers; |
| | |
| • | Reviewing and approving employment and severance agreements or arrangements for our executive officers; |
| | |

| | |
| • | Reviewing and discussing annually with management our “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” to the extent required; and |
| | |
| • | Preparing the annual Compensation Committee report required by SEC rules, to the extent required. |
The current members of our Compensation Committee are Mr. Burke (Chairperson), Ms. Gonzales and Mr. Kim. Our Board of Directors has determined that each member of our Compensation Committee qualifies as “independent” under NYSE’s additional standards applicable to Compensation Committee members and is a “non-employee director” as defined in Section 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.
Pursuant to the Compensation Committee’s charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to retain or obtain the advice of compensation consultants, legal counsel and other advisors to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. Before selecting any such consultant, counsel or advisor, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the independence of such consultant, counsel or advisor in accordance with applicable NYSE rules. We must provide appropriate funding for payment of reasonable compensation to any advisor retained by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee did not engage a compensation consultant in 2025, but heavily relied on thorough benchmarking data provided in late 2024 to guide its decision-making for 2025.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:
| | | | | | | | |
| • | Identifying individuals qualified to become members of our Board, consistent with criteria approved by the Board; |
| | |
| • | Recommending to our Board the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each committee of the Board; |
| | |
| • | Reviewing, with respect to members of our Board, any proposed outside board and board committee memberships or resignations or material changes in employment or circumstances; |
| | |
| • | Periodically reviewing and providing oversight regarding our strategy, initiatives, policies and risks concerning environmental and social responsibility matters; |
| | |
| • | Developing and recommending to our Board corporate governance guidelines, and reviewing and recommending to our Board proposed changes to our corporate governance guidelines from time to time; and |
| | |
| • | Overseeing the annual evaluations of our Board, its committees and management. |
The members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Ms. McCullough (Chairperson), Ms. Durr and Mr. Susan. Our Board has determined that each member of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee qualifies as “independent” under applicable NYSE rules applicable to Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members.
Board and Board Committee Meetings and Attendance
During fiscal 2025, our Board of Directors met five times, the Audit and Risk Committee and the Compensation Committee each met five times, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met four times. In 2025, each of our incumbent directors then-serving attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and committees on which they served as a member.
Executive Sessions
Executive sessions, which are meetings of the non-management members of the Board, are regularly scheduled throughout the year. Also, on a regularly scheduled basis, but no less than once a year, the independent directors meet in a private session that excludes management and any non-independent directors. Each executive session of the independent directors is presided over by the Chairperson of the Board if the Chairperson qualifies as independent or, alternatively, by the Lead Director, if any, if the Chairperson does not qualify as independent, or a director designated by the independent directors.
Director Attendance at Annual Meeting of Stockholders
We do not have a formal policy regarding the attendance of our Board members at our annual meetings of stockholders, but we expect all directors to make every effort to attend any meeting of stockholders. At our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, six of our eight directors then in office were in attendance.
Director Nominations Process
The Board is responsible for nominating director candidates for election to the Board, and for appointing directors to the Board to fill any vacancies that may occur in between annual elections of directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become directors and recommending to the Board director candidates for nomination either for election by shareholders or for appointment by the Board. In fulfilling this responsibility, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers, among other things: (i) personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; (ii) experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; (iii) strong finance experience; (iv) relevant social policy concerns; (v) experience relevant to the Company’s industry; (vi) experience as a board member or executive officer of another publicly held company; (vii) relevant academic expertise or other proficiency in an area of the Company’s operations; (viii) diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to the Company’s business relative to other board members; (ix) diversity of background and perspective, including, but not limited to, with respect to age, gender, race, place of residence and specialized experience; (x) practical and mature business judgment, including, but not limited to, the ability to make independent analytical inquiries; and (xi) any other relevant qualifications, attributes or skills. In determining whether to recommend a director for reelection, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board.
We are committed to inclusivity when considering candidates for membership on the Board. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience.
In identifying prospective director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may seek referrals from other members of the Board, management, stockholders and other sources, including third-party recommendations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may, but need not, retain a search firm in order to assist with identifying candidates to serve as directors of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses the same criteria for evaluating candidates regardless of the source of the referral or recommendation. When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks individuals with backgrounds and qualities that, when combined with those of our incumbent directors, provide an appropriate blend of skills and experience to further enhance the Board’s
effectiveness. In connection with its annual recommendation of a slate of nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may assess the contributions of those directors recommended for reelection in the context of the Board evaluation process and other perceived needs of the Board.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review and evaluate information available to it regarding candidates proposed by stockholders and will apply the same criteria and follow substantially the same process in considering them as it does in considering other director candidates. Stockholders wishing to propose a candidate for consideration may do so by submitting their recommendation in writing to the attention of the Corporate Secretary at our address provided under the “Principal Executive Offices” section.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for risk oversight, including, as part of regular Board and committee meetings, general oversight of executives’ management of risks relevant to the Company. A fundamental part of risk oversight is not only understanding the material risks a company faces and the steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for the Company. The involvement of the Board of Directors in reviewing our business strategy is an integral aspect of the Board’s assessment of management’s tolerance for risk and its determination of what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for the Company. While the full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, it is supported in this function primarily by its Audit and Risk Committee, as well as its Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the Board is regularly informed through committee reports about such risks.
The Board regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for enterprise risk management, including the management of financial risks. In fulfilling this responsibility, the Audit and Risk Committee also reviews and discusses our guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, as well as discusses with Company management the steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Audit and Risk Committee discusses with our management and independent registered public accounting firm any correspondence with regulators or government agencies that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies. Additionally, the Audit and Risk Committee periodically discusses with our management the Company’s information technology initiatives, which includes education on cybersecurity and other risks relevant to Owlet, including safeguards to prevent or detect cybersecurity incidents that could be harmful to the Company. The Compensation Committee assists the Board by overseeing the management of risks relating to executive compensation, including review of incentive compensation arrangements and regulatory compliance to confirm that incentive pay does not encourage unnecessary risk-taking. Also, the Compensation Committee reviews and discusses, at least annually, the relationship between compensation-related risk management policies and practices, regulatory compliance, corporate strategy and senior executive compensation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board by managing risks associated with the independence of the Board.
Committee Charters and Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, charters of the Audit and Risk Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and other corporate governance information are available on our Investor Relations website at www.investors.owletcare.com. You may also request hard copies by contacting our Corporate Secretary at our address and telephone number provided under the “Principal Executive Offices” section.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Our Code is available on our Investor Relations website at www.investors.owletcare.com. You may also request a hard copy by contacting our Chief Legal Officer at our address and telephone number provided under the “Principal Executive Offices” section. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by applicable SEC and NYSE rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers of, any provisions of our Code.
Insider Trading Compliance Policy; Anti-Hedging Policy
The Board has adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy, which governs the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our securities and applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. We believe our Insider Trading Compliance Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations, and listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of our Insider Trading Compliance Policy was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our 2025 Form 10-K.
The Insider Trading Compliance Policy prohibits our directors, officers and employees from purchasing financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset (or are designed to hedge or offset) any decrease in the market value of our equity securities. All such transactions involving our equity securities, whether such securities were granted as compensation or are otherwise held, directly or indirectly, are prohibited.
Clawback Policy
We have instituted a clawback policy in accordance with the NYSE’s final rules implementing the incentive-based compensation recovery provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, effective October 2, 2023 to support a culture of focused, diligent and responsible management that discourages conduct detrimental to our growth. The policy applies to each person who serves as an executive officer of the Company, as defined in Rule 10D-1(d) under the Exchange Act. In the event of a qualifying financial restatement, a covered employee will be required to forfeit erroneously awarded incentive compensation to the Company to the extent required under applicable law.
Equity Grant Practices
Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of our equity award grants, the Compensation Committee has historically granted such awards on a predetermined annual schedule.
The grant dates of these equity awards are generally selected so as not to be within a short period of time, as described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 120 (“SAB 120”), prior to the release of material nonpublic information (“MNPI”) such as on Forms 8-K, 10-Q, or 10-K. Grants of equity awards may occur at other times during the year due to business needs, such as for newly hired employees or officers or newly appointed directors. The Board and Compensation Committee do not anticipate the timing of disclosure of MNPI when determining the timing and terms of such awards, and we do not time the release of MNPI for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
During fiscal year 2025, we did not grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar option-like instruments to our named executive officers in the period beginning four business days prior to the filing of our periodic reports or the filing or furnishing of a Form 8-K that discloses MNPI and ending one business day thereafter.
Communications with the Board
Any stockholder or any other interested party who desires to communicate with our Board of Directors, our non-management directors or any specified individual director, may do so by directing such written correspondence to the attention of the General Counsel at our address provided under the “Principal Executive Offices” section. The General Counsel will forward the communication to the appropriate director or directors as appropriate.
EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Overview
Throughout this “Executive and Director Compensation” section, unless the context requires otherwise, references to "Owlet," "we," "us," "our," the "company" and similar terms in this section refer to Old Owlet prior to the Merger, and to Owlet, Inc. following the Merger.
This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for our 2025 named executive officers. Our named executive officers for 2025 are:
| | | | | | | | |
| • | Kurt Workman, our President and Chief Executive Officer; |
| | |
| • | Jonathan Harris, our former President and Chief Executive Officer; and |
| | |
| • | Amanda Twede Crawford, our Chief Financial Officer |
As a "small reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we have elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies. These requirements include, among other things, providing a Summary Compensation Table covering only our last two completed fiscal years and excluding the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) and certain other tabular and narrative disclosures.
2025 Summary Compensation Table
The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of our named executive officers for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Name and Principal Position | | Year | | Salary ($) | | Bonus ($)(1) | | Stock Awards ($)(2) | | Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation ($) | | All Other Compensation ($)(3) | | Total ($) |
| Kurt Workman | | 2025 | | 300,000 | | | 229,922 | | | 217,829 (4) | | — | | | 51,654(4) | | 799,405 | |
| President and Chief Executive Officer | | 2024 | | 375,000 | | | — | | | 384,923 | | | 225,000 | | | 2,150 | | | 987,073 | |
Jonathan Harris (5) | | 2025 | | 419,231 | | | — | | | 3,498,403 | | | 310,625 | | | — | | | 4,228,259 | |
| Former President and Chief Executive Officer | | 2024 | | 375,000 | | | — | | | 880,790 | | | 187,500 | | | — | | | 1,443,290 | |
| Amanda Twede Crawford | | 2025 | | 340,962 | | | — | | | 1,901,721 | | | 157,531 (6) | | 15,242 | | | 2,415,456 | |
| Chief Financial Officer | | 2024 | | 274,923 | | | — | | | 306,540 | | | 105,000 | | | 2,150 | | | 688,613 | |
| | | | | |
(1) | Effective October 1, 2025, Mr. Workman transitioned from Chief Executive Officer to Executive Chairman of the Board. In recognition of his efforts as Chief Executive Officer from January 1, 2025 through the transition date and in light of his loss of eligibility to earn incentive pay under the Company-wide performance-based bonus program, Mr. Workman was awarded a one-time cash bonus designed to provide him with the pro-rated portion of the bonus he would have earned for fiscal 2025 under the Company-wide performance-based bonus program (based on the Company's performance for the first three quarters of 2025) had he been eligible to receive an award under this program. |
| |
(2) | Amounts shown represent the aggregate grant date fair value for financial statement reporting purposes of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) awards and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) as computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 ("FASB ASC Topic 718"). See Note 10 (Share-Based Compensation) to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the assumptions used in determining these values. |
| |
| Our named executive officers, other than Mr. Workman, received time-based RSUs, the grant date fair value of which was based on the fair value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. In addition, our named executive officers, other than Mr. Workman, also received PRSUs which are eligible to be earned, if at all, based on achievement of cumulative net revenue goals depending on the Company's performance during the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028, and the fair value of these awards was based on the grant date fair market value of our Class A common stock. The shares are eligible to be earned on a quarterly basis during the performance period depending on the results of the cumulative net revenue.
The grant date fair value of $2,990,000 and $1,495,000 for the PRSUs awarded to Mr. Harris and Ms. Crawford, respectively, is based on the probable outcome (which reflects full 100% vesting of the awards). Accordingly, the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date, are the same as the maximum level of performance under the performance conditions as of the grant date. |
| |
(3) | For 2025, amounts represent, for Mr. Workman, $1,654 in Company-paid contributions to a healthcare savings account and for Ms. Crawford, $2,150 in Company-paid contribution to a healthcare savings account and $13,092.30 in Company-matching 401K contributions. |
| |
(4) | Effective October 1, 2025, Mr. Workman transitioned into a non-employee director role, Executive Chairman of the Board. For the remainder of 2025, he received a pro-rated portion of the Executive Chair retainer fee of $200,000 and an annual equity award pursuant to our non-employee director compensation program. The following table sets forth the aggregate dollar amount of all fees paid to Mr. Workman during 2025 for his services as a non-employee director: |
| |

Narrative to the Summary Compensation Table
2025 Annual Base Salary
We pay our executives a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to the Company. Base salary provides a fixed component of compensation reflecting each executive’s experience, role, responsibilities, and market conditions.
During 2025, the annual base salaries of Messrs. Workman and Harris were each initially established at $375,000; Upon his promotion to Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Harris's annual base salary was increased to $500,000. Effective June 30, 2025, Ms. Crawford's annual base salary was increased from $345,000 to $355,000 in order to remain competitive and retain talent. The amounts reported in the “Salary” column of the Summary Compensation Table reflect actual base salary amounts paid during 2025, including pro-rated adjustments where applicable.
Our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee may adjust base salaries from time to time in their discretion based on individual performance, Company performance, and other relevant factors.
2025 Annual Bonus
For 2025, all named executive officers were eligible to participate in the Company-wide performance-based bonus program, with bonus payouts determined based on the achievement of a pre-established EBITDA target. While the Compensation Committee recognized that during 2025 management drove meaningful financial results for the Company, including record revenue, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA results, management did not obtain the targeted level of EBITDA performance for December 31, 2025, resulting in the Committee approving 88.8% of target payouts for all participants, including our named executive officers (other than Mr. Workman who was ineligible to receive a payout under the program following his transition to the role of Executive Chairman of the Board). Bonus awards were calculated formulaically, without discretionary adjustments, and were paid in 2026. The amounts earned by each of our named executive officers are reported in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Ms. Crawford, with approval by the Compensation Committee, elected to receive her fiscal 2025 bonus in the form of fully vested shares of our Class A common stock.
Our Board and Compensation Committee retain discretion to adjust target bonus opportunities in future years as appropriate.
One-Time Bonus for Kurt Workman
Effective October 1, 2025, Mr. Workman transitioned from Chief Executive Officer to Executive Chairman of the Board. In recognition of his efforts as Chief Executive Officer from January 1, 2025 through the transition date and in light of his loss of eligibility to earn incentive pay under the Company-wide performance-based bonus program described above, Mr. Workman was awarded a one-time cash bonus of $229,922. The amount awarded by the Compensation Committee was designed to provide Mr. Workman with the pro-rated portion of the bonus he would have earned for fiscal 2025 under the Company-wide performance-based bonus program (based on the Company's performance for the first three quarters of 2025) had he been eligible to receive an award under such program.
2025 Equity Compensation
We grant equity awards to our employees, including our executive officers, to attract and retain talent, motivate performance, and align employee interests with those of our shareholders. Our equity program for our named executive officers includes time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), as described below. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of our Class A common stock upon vesting, subject to continued service.
Time-Based RSUs
In September 2025, we granted annual RSU awards to employees, including our named executive officers, as part of our regular equity compensation program. Mr. Harris was granted 60,024 RSUs which were set to vest at 100% on December 15, 2026, subject to service conditions. Ms. Crawford was granted 48,019 RSUs which vest 100% on December 8, 2026, subject to service conditions. Mr. Workman did not receive an annual equity award for fiscal 2025 as a named executive officer. All of Mr. Harris's outstanding equity awards vested within thirty (30) days of his departure from the Company on April 6, 2026.
Performance-Based RSUs (PRSUs)
In November 2025, we granted PRSUs to Mr. Harris and Ms. Crawford. The PRSUs provided Mr. Harris and Ms. Crawford the opportunity to earn up to 250,000 and 125,000 shares of our Class A common stock, respectively, based on achievement of cumulative net revenue goals depending on the Company's performance during the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028. Subject to service conditions, the shares
underlying the PRSUs are eligible to be earned in six equal tranches on a quarterly basis during the performance period based on the Compensation Committee's assessment following the end of each quarter to determine whether the goal corresponding to any unvested tranche established under the PRSUs has been achieved. Cumulative net revenue is defined as our GAAP net revenue under the PRSUs
Other Elements of Compensation
Retirement Savings and Health and Welfare Benefits
We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies.
All of our full-time employees, including our executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans. These health and welfare plans include (i) medical, dental and vision benefits, (ii) short-term and long-term disability insurance, and (iii) supplemental life and accidental death & dismemberment insurance.
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
We determine perquisites on a case-by-case basis and will provide a perquisite to a named executive officer when we believe it is necessary to attract or retain the named executive officer, and such determinations may be made in consultation with the Board, Compensation Committee, Company management, an independent compensation consultant or other independent consultants or advisors. None of our named executive officers received any perquisites during 2025.

Executive Compensation Arrangements
We have entered into an offer letter with each named executive officer that sets forth the named executive officer’s base salary, employee benefits eligibility, any signing bonus or one-time bonus opportunity and initial equity award. Any severance benefits included in the offer letters of our named executive officers were superseded by our Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (the “CIC Severance Plan”) described below.
On April 3, 2026, in connection with Mr. Workman’s appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer, we entered into an offer letter with him pursuant to which he (i) will receive an annual base salary of $500,000 and (ii) is eligible to earn an annual cash performance bonus target equal to 70% of his annual base salary, with the actual bonus amount to be determined by the Compensation Committee based on Company and individual performance. Additionally, we agreed to grant Mr. Workman 850,000 RSUs thereunder. He is also a participant under the CIC Severance Plan described below.
Executive Change in Control Severance Plan
In August 2023, our Compensation Committee adopted the CIC Severance Plan, under which each of our named executive officers is eligible to receive compensation and benefits in the event of an involuntary termination of employment by the Company without cause, or a resignation by the executive for good reason, which occurs within 3 months prior to, or 12 months after, the effective date of a change in control of the Company (a “Covered Termination”).
The CIC Severance Plan provides our named executive officers the following payments and benefits upon a Covered Termination, subject to the execution of a general release of claims against the Company and its
affiliates: (i) a payment equal to 12 months base salary plus the target bonus for the year the Covered Termination occurred, prorated for the number of days the applicable executive was employed in such year, (ii) continued health coverage for a period of 12 months, or until the executive and the executive’s covered dependents become eligible for healthcare coverage under another employer’s plan(s), and (iii) accelerated vesting of all equity awards outstanding and unvested as of the date of the Covered Termination. The payments and benefits provided to our named executive officers under the CIC Severance plan are in lieu of benefits that would be incurred due to a Covered Termination under any other separation plan or agreement, including the employment offer letters, as applicable.
Director Compensation
We maintain a non-employee director compensation program providing compensation for our non-employee directors who are unaffiliated with our institutional investors. The program provides eligible directors an annual cash retainer of $50,000 for serving on the Board, and an additional annual cash retainer of $32,500 for serving as the chairperson of the Audit and Risk Committee. Our directors may elect to receive their fees in cash, in RSUs, or in a combination of cash and RSUs. RSUs received pursuant to this election are granted on the fifth business day following the end of the applicable calendar quarter, and are fully-vested on the date of grant. In addition to the above fees, directors are also reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses in attending in-person meetings.
The non-employee director compensation program also provides for an annual award of RSUs, calculated by dividing $150,000 by the 30 trading day average closing price of a share of our Common Stock as of the date of such annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such RSU awards are granted to continuing non-employee directors following each annual meeting of our stockholders, and vest immediately prior to the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, subject to continued service of the director.
The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of our non-employee directors for the year ended December 31, 2025. During 2025, Mr. Workman served as an executive officer prior to transitioning into a non-employee director role, Executive Chairman of the Board. The non-employee director compensation paid to him in 2025 is reported in the Summary Compensation Table above under the column captioned “All Other Compensation.”

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, we are providing the following disclosure, as it applies to smaller reporting companies, regarding executive “Compensation Actually Paid” (“CAP”), as calculated under applicable SEC rules, for our principal executive Officer (“PEO”) and our other named executive officers (“Non-PEO NEOs”) and certain financial performance measures for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
In determining the CAP to our PEO and the CAP to our non-PEO NEOs, we are required to make various adjustments to the total compensation amounts that have been reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”), as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the SCT. Information regarding the methodology for calculating CAP to our PEO and the CAP to our non-PEO NEOs, including details regarding the amounts that were deducted from, and added to, the SCT totals to arrive at the values presented for CAP, are provided in the footnotes to the table. Note that for non-PEO NEOs, compensation is reported as an average.
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is not required to disclose the total shareholder return for our peer group or to disclose the company-selected measure or the tabular list of our most important financial performance measures.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
Policies and Procedures on Transactions with Related Persons
Our Board of Directors recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests (or the perception of such conflicts of interest). Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy on transactions with related persons that is in conformity with the requirements for issuers having publicly held common stock that is listed on the NYSE. Under such policy, a related person transaction, and any material amendment or modification to a related person transaction, will be reviewed and approved or ratified by the Audit and Risk Committee or by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.
In connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related person transaction:
| | | | | | | | |
| • | Management will disclose to the Audit and Risk Committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, information such as the name of the related person and the basis on which the person is a related person, the material terms of the related person transaction, including the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction and other material facts as to the related person’s direct or indirect interest in, or relationship to, the related person transaction; |
| | |
| • | Management will advise the Audit and Risk Committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to other relevant considerations such as whether the related person transaction conflicts with the terms of our agreements governing our material outstanding indebtedness that limit or restricts our ability to enter into a related person transaction; and |
| | |
| • | Related person transactions will be disclosed in our applicable filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and related rules, and, to the extent required. |
In addition, the related person transaction policy provides that the Audit and Risk Committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, in connection with any approval or ratification of a related person transaction involving a non-employee director or director nominee, should consider whether such transaction would compromise the director or director nominee’s status as an “independent,” or “non-employee” director, as applicable, under the rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE.
A “related person transaction” is, subject to exceptions provided under SEC Regulation S-K, a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which Owlet or its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “related person” means:
| | | | | | | | |
| • | Any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of our officers or one of our directors; |
| | |
| • | Any person who is known by Owlet to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of its voting stock; and |
| | |
| • | Any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of a director, officer or a beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of its voting stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, officer or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of its voting stock. |
Each of the transactions described below entered into following the adoption of our related person transaction policy was approved in accordance with such policy.
Related Person Transactions
Exchange Agreement - Private Placement Warrants
On August 7, 2025, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with certain holders (the “Holders”) of the Company’s 2023 Private Placement Warrants and 2024 Private Placement Warrants, which included multiple related persons. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Holders agreed to exchange their 2023 Private Placement Warrants (representing 7,215,737 shares of Common Stock) and 2024 Private Placement Warrants (representing 1,799,021 shares of Common Stock) for an aggregate of 5,426,429 newly issued shares of the Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”). The Exchange Agreement also provides that the Company will register for resale the Exchange Shares issued in the exchange.
The number of Exchange Shares issued was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model as of August 1, 2025, which resulted in an exchange ratio of approximately 0.61 shares of Common Stock for each 2023 Private Placement Warrant and 0.56 shares of Common Stock for each 2024 Private Placement Warrant.
The Company consummated the exchange on October 10, 2025. At the time of issuance, the Exchange Shares had an aggregate fair value of approximately $46.9 million. The following related persons participated in the exchange:

Registration Rights Agreement
On February 15, 2021, Old Owlet entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation ("SBG") and Project Olympus Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), whereby on July 15, 2021 Merger Sub merged with and into Old Owlet, with Old Owlet surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of SBG (the "Merger"). Following the Merger, SBG was renamed Owlet, Inc. In connection with the Closing, SBG changed its name from Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation to Owlet, Inc. ("Owlet"). Following the consummation of the Merger, Owlet became an SEC registrant and its Common Stock and warrants commenced trading on the NYSE under the symbols “OWLT” and “OWLT WS”, respectively. In connection with the closing of the Merger, we and certain shareholders of Old Owlet and SBG entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a shelf registration statement with respect to the registrable securities under the Registration Rights Agreement within 15 business days of the closing of the Merger. Certain Old Owlet shareholders and SBG shareholders may each request to sell all or any portion of their registrable securities in an underwritten offering up to two times in any 12-month period, so long as the total offering price
is reasonably expected to exceed $50.0 million. We also agreed to provide “piggyback” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that we will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the shareholders against certain liabilities. This registration statement was filed in August 2021.
Stockholders Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Merger, we and certain shareholders of Old Owlet entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), which provides for the following terms and other customary terms and conditions:
| | | | | | | | |
| • | Eclipse Nomination Rights. From the closing of the Merger and until such time as Eclipse beneficially owns less than 10% of the Common Stock: (i) Eclipse will be entitled to nominate one director for election upon sufficient written notice to Owlet; and (ii) if Eclipse makes a nomination, we shall include such director as a nominee for election as a director at the applicable Owlet shareholders meeting and recommend to the Owlet shareholders that such Eclipse director be elected as a director at such Owlet shareholder meeting. |
| | |
| • | Chairperson. Lior Susan shall serve as Chairperson of the Board at closing of the Merger. |
On February 17, 2023, in connection with a private placement of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (such warrants, the “2023 Private Placement Warrants,” and such private placement, the "2023 Private Placement"), we and Eclipse Ventures Fund I, L.P., Eclipse Continuity Fund I, L.P. and Eclipse Early Growth Fund I, L.P. entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (the “A&R Stockholders Agreement”), which amends and restates the Stockholders Agreement. The A&R Stockholders Agreement provides that (a) until such time as Eclipse beneficially owns less than 20.0% of the total voting power entitled to elect directors, Eclipse shall be entitled to nominate two individuals (the “Eclipse Directors” and each, an “Eclipse Director”) and (b) from such time that Eclipse beneficially owns less than 20.0% of the total voting power entitled to elect directors and until Eclipse beneficially owns less than 10.0% of the total voting power entitled to elect directors, Eclipse will be entitled to nominate one Eclipse Director. Messrs. Susan and Stoll serve as the Eclipse director nominees.
Indemnification under the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Indemnification Agreements
We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide the indemnities with contractual rights to indemnification, and expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, subject to certain exceptions contained in those agreements.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS
Stockholders who intend to have a proposal considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for presentation at our annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2027 (the “2027 Annual Meeting”) pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must submit the proposal in writing to our Corporate Secretary at our address (provided under the “Principal Executive Offices” section) not later than March 2, 2027.
Stockholders intending to present a proposal at our 2027 Annual Meeting, but not to include the proposal in our proxy statement, or to nominate a person for election as a director, must comply with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Under our Bylaws, stockholders may present proposals to be considered at an annual meeting by providing timely written notice to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office. To be timely for our 2027 Annual Meeting, our Corporate Secretary must receive the written notice at our principal executive office not earlier than May 14, 2027, and not later than the close of business on April 14, 2027. Because we anticipate that the date of our 2027 Annual Meeting will be advanced by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the 2026 Annual Meeting, stockholders are advised that the foregoing deadlines are subject to change. In the event that the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after August 12, 2027, then under our Bylaws our Corporate Secretary must receive such written notice not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting, or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such meeting is first made by us. The notice must contain the information required by our Bylaws. SEC rules permit management to vote proxies in its discretion in certain cases if the shareholder does not comply with this deadline and, in certain other cases notwithstanding the shareholder’s compliance with this deadline.
We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these or other applicable requirements.
In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.
In connection with our solicitation of proxies for our 2027 Annual Meeting, we intend to file a proxy statement and proxy card with the SEC. Stockholders may obtain our proxy statement (and any amendments and supplements thereto) and other documents as and when filed with the SEC without charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
HOUSEHOLDING
SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” provides cost savings for companies and helps the environment by conserving natural resources. Some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will household materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and you wish to request that future deliveries be limited to a single copy, please notify your broker. You can also request prompt delivery of a copy of this Proxy Statement and the 2025 Annual Report by contacting Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. by telephone at (866) 540-7095 or in writing sent to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.
