independent director financial
"announced the appointment of retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Michael E. Williamson as an independent director"
An independent director is a member of a company's board of directors who is not involved in the company's day-to-day operations and has no significant relationships with the company that could influence their judgment. Their role is to provide unbiased oversight and ensure the company is managed in the best interests of all shareholders. This helps build trust and confidence among investors by promoting transparency and accountability.
Class III Director financial
"appointed Michael E. Williamson to fill the vacancy as a Class III Director"
A Class III director is a board member placed in one of the numbered groups used by companies with a staggered (or “classified”) board; that director’s seat typically comes up for election in the third year of a three-year rotation. For investors this matters because staggered terms create continuity but also make it harder to replace the whole board quickly, affecting shareholder influence, takeover dynamics and how fast new strategy or accountability can be implemented — like replacing only some players on a sports team each season instead of the whole roster at once.
Emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company x"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
indemnification agreement regulatory
"Mr. Williamson will enter into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement"
An indemnification agreement is a contract in which one party promises to cover losses, costs, or legal claims that another party might face, acting like a tailored safety net or private insurance policy. For investors, it matters because such agreements shift potential financial risk away from a company or its officers and onto the indemnifier, which can affect a company’s future liabilities, cash flow and how risky the investment appears during deal-making or litigation.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Exhibit 99.1

Satellogic Appoints Lieutenant General (Ret.) Michael E. Williamson to its Board of Directors

Decorated Defense and Aerospace Leader Joins Board as Independent Director

NEW YORKJune 4, 2026 — Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), the infrastructure company for Persistent Global Intelligence, today announced the appointment of retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Michael E. Williamson as an independent director. General Williamson will serve as a Class III director, effective immediately.

General Williamson brings more than three decades of leadership experience in defense acquisition, technology integration, and global business development to Satellogic's Board. His deep expertise across the defense and aerospace sectors will support the Company as it continues to scale its Earth observation constellation and expand its work with government and commercial customers worldwide.

"General Williamson joins our board at a pivotal moment. The market is shifting from episodic imagery to Persistent Global Intelligence, and Satellogic is building the infrastructure that makes that shift real at scale,” said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO and Co-Founder of Satellogic. “His decades of leadership at the intersection of national security, advanced technology, and global partnerships will help us deepen our work with the allied governments and mission organizations that depend on continuous, decision-grade awareness."

"The organizations I've worked alongside for 40 years need continuous, decision-grade awareness of what is changing on the ground, not images delivered after the fact,” said General Williamson. “Satellogic is building the infrastructure to make that possible at the cadence and scale the mission now requires, and I'm glad to help guide that work as a member of the board."

A retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General and former senior executive at Lockheed Martin, General Williamson has more than thirty years of leadership experience in defense acquisition, technology integration, and global business development. Commissioned in the Air Defense Artillery in 1983, he held a series of command and acquisition roles, including Principal Military Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology and Director of Acquisition Career Management, where he oversaw major modernization and procurement programs for the U.S. Army.

Following his military career, General Williamson joined Lockheed Martin, serving as Vice President for Program Performance, Vice President and General Manager for Sensors and Global Sustainment, and Vice President of Tactical and Strike Missiles, with responsibility for advanced systems such as hypersonic and precision strike capabilities. Most recently, he served as Senior Vice President, Global Business Development and Strategy and President of Lockheed Martin International, leading enterprise-wide growth, international operations in more than 50 countries, and key customer and government partnerships worldwide.




General Williamson holds a B.S. in Business Administration from Husson College, an M.S. in Material Acquisition Management from the Naval Postgraduate School, and a Ph.D. in Business Administration from Madison University, as well as executive and public policy credentials from Harvard University and Georgetown University.
