ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Directors

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors (the “Board”). Our Board currently consists of seven directors, six of whom are independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE.

Our Board is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors is elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Thus, at each annual meeting of stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the class whose term is then expiring.

The following table sets forth the names, ages as of April 1, 2026 and certain information for each of our directors. There are no arrangements or understandings between any of our directors and any other person pursuant to which he or she is or was to be selected as a director.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Our code of business conduct is a “code of ethics” within the meaning of Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K.

The full text of our corporate governance guidelines and code of business conduct and ethics are available on our website at https://ir.blacksky.com/governance/governance-documents. We will post amendments to our code of business conduct and ethics or any waivers of our code of business conduct and ethics for directors and executive officers on the same website.

Role of Our Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our Board is informed oversight of our risk management process. We have designed and implemented processes to manage risk in our operations. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the company faces, while our Board, as a whole and assisted by its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Our Board reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of discussions, question and answer sessions, and reports from the management team at each regular Board meeting, receives reports on all significant committee activities at each regular Board meeting, and evaluates the risks inherent in significant transactions.

Our Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. Our audit committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with our financial reporting, accounting and auditing matters, our compensation committee oversees the management of risks associated with our compensation policies and programs, and our nominating and corporate governance committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines.

Our Board believes its current leadership structure supports the risk oversight function of the Board.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board has established the following standing committees of the board of directors: audit committee; compensation committee; and nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our Board is described below.

Audit Committee

We have a standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The members of our audit committee are Mr. Tolonen, Mr. Porteous and Mr. Harvey. Mr. Tolonen serves as the chairperson of the audit committee. Under the NYSE

listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. Each of Mr. Tolonen, Mr. Porteous and Mr. Harvey qualify as an independent director for audit committee purposes under the applicable rules.

Each member of the audit committee meets the financial literacy requirements of the NYSE listing standards, and Mr. Tolonen qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

The purpose of the audit committee is to prepare the audit committee report required by the SEC to be included in our proxy statement and to assist our Board in overseeing and monitoring (i) the quality and integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, (iv) the performance of our internal audit function and (v) the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm.

The functions of the audit committee include, among other things:

•reviewing with our independent auditors and management significant issues that arise regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentation and matters concerning the scope, adequacy, and effectiveness of our financial controls and critical accounting policies;

•reviewing with management and our auditors any earnings announcements and other public announcements regarding material developments;

•establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding financial controls, accounting, auditing or other matters;

•preparing the report that the SEC requires in our annual proxy statement;

•reviewing and providing oversight of any related party transactions in accordance with our related party transaction policy and reviewing and monitoring compliance with legal and regulatory responsibilities, including our code of business conduct;

•reviewing our major financial risk exposures, including the guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and risk management is implemented; and

•reviewing and evaluating on an annual basis the performance of the audit committee and the audit committee charter.

Our Board adopted a written charter for the audit committee, which is available on our website at https://ir.blacksky.com/governance/governance-documents. Under its charter, the audit committee may delegate its authority to subcommittees or the chairperson of the audit committee when it deems it appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and when such delegation would not violate any applicable law, regulation or the NYSE or SEC requirements. During 2025, our audit committee held seven meetings.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee are Dr. Abraham, Ms. Gordon, Mr. DiDomenico and Mr. Tolonen. Dr. Abraham serves as chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

Our Board adopted a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee, which is available on our website at https://ir.blacksky.com/governance/governance-documents. Under its charter, the nominating and corporate governance committee may delegate its authority to subcommittees or the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee when it deems it appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based on our review of such filings and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, all directors, executive officers, greater than 10% stockholders, and other persons subject to filings under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act for BlackSky complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them, except as previously disclosed and except as noted in the following paragraph.

On June 25, 2025, a form 4 for Tracy Ward, our Controller, was filed late due to an administrative error. Subsequently, on July 3, 2025, a Form 4/A for Tracy Ward was submitted, to correct an error on that same Form 4 that was filed on June 25, 2025. Additionally, on October 17, 2025, four Form 4/As were filed to correct errors in Form 4s that had been filed on September 15, 2025. The original Form 4s inaccurately reported the number of securities owned by each individual. The four Form 4/As were for the following individuals: (1) Brian O’Toole, our President and Chief Executive Officer; (2) Henry Dubois, our Chief Financial Officer; (3) Christiana Lin, our General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer; and (4) Tracy Ward.

Insider Trading Arrangements and Policies

We have adopted an insider trading policy that governs the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers, and employees, and other covered persons that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable stock exchange listing requirements. A copy of our insider trading policy is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 19.1 into this Amendment No. 1. In addition, with regard to the Company’s trading in its own securities, it is our policy to comply with the federal securities laws and the applicable exchange listing requirements.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Our executive compensation programs are designed to:

• Attract, motivate, incentivize and retain employees at the executive level who contribute to our long-term success;

• Provide compensation to our executives that is competitive and designed to reward the achievement of our business objectives that drive the Company’s success; and

• Effectively promote closer alignment between our executives’ interests and those of our stockholders by focusing on long-term equity incentives that correlate with the growth of sustainable long-term value for our stockholders.

Compensation and Governance Practices and Policies

We endeavor to maintain strong governance standards in our policies and practices related to executive compensation. Below is a summary of our key executive compensation and corporate governance practices.

The following are some examples of the best practices that we incorporate into our executive compensation practices and policies:

•A significant portion of compensation for named executive officers is at risk, based on both Company performance (financial and stock price) and the individual’s performance;

•We conduct regular reviews of executive compensation and peer group data;

•We are advised by an independent compensation consultant;

•We annually assess risk-reward balance of our compensation programs in order to mitigate undue risk in our program;

•We do not have pension plans or supplemental executive retirement plans;

•By policy, we do not permit hedging of our securities; and

•We do not provide for excise tax gross-ups on a change of control.

Compensation Process

Our compensation committee is responsible for the executive compensation programs for our executive officers and reports to the Board on its discussions, decisions and other actions relating to such programs. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations for the respective executive officers that report to him to our compensation committee and typically attends compensation committee meetings (other than the portions of meetings in which his compensation is discussed). Our Chief Executive Officer makes such recommendations (other than with respect to himself) regarding base salary, and short-term and long-term compensation, including equity incentives, for our executive officers based on our results, an executive officer’s individual contribution toward those results, the executive officer’s role and performance of the executive officer’s duties and the executive officer’s achievement of individual goals. Our compensation committee then reviews the recommendations and other factors it deems relevant, including various compensation survey data and publicly available data of our peers, and makes decisions as to the target total direct compensation (consisting of salary, target short-term incentive, and long-term incentive compensation) for each executive officer, including our Chief Executive Officer, as well as each individual compensation element of such compensation.

Our compensation committee is authorized to retain the services of one or more executive compensation advisors, as it sees fit, in connection with the establishment of our executive compensation programs and related policies. In 2025, Compensia Inc. (“Compensia”), a national compensation consulting firm with compensation expertise relating to technology companies, was retained to provide market information, analysis and other advice relating to executive compensation on an ongoing basis. As part of this engagement, Compensia assisted in developing an appropriate group of peer companies to help determine the market-comparable levels of overall target total direct compensation for our executive officers, as well as to assess each separate key element of such compensation, with a goal of ensuring that the compensation we offer to our executive officers, individually as well as in the aggregate, is competitive and fair. We do not believe the retention of, and the work performed by, Compensia creates any conflict of interest.

Peer Group

Our compensation committee reviews market data of companies that we believe are comparable to us. Compensia assisted in developing a peer group generally consisting of publicly traded software-focused technology companies headquartered in the U.S. with annual revenue and market capitalization within 0.25x and 4x that of the Company. Our compensation committee referred to compensation data from this peer group and broader survey data (for similarly-sized companies) when making fiscal 2025 base salary, cash bonus and equity award decisions for our executive officers. The following is a list of the public companies that comprised our fiscal 2025 peer group:


A10 Networks	EverQuote	TrueCar
BigBear.ai Holdings	Expensify	Turtle Beach
Commerce.com	LivePerson	Upland Software
CS Disco	ON24	Xperi
Domo	PROS Holdings	Yext
eGain	Redwire

For fiscal 2025, the peer group was updated to exclude Brightcove, Everbridge, Model N, Quotient Technology, Sumo Logic, and Zuora due to mergers and acquisition activity. BigBear.ai, CS Disco, eGain, Expensify, ON24, and Redwire were added as their businesses focus on software or similar technologies and because of their fit with the other parameters identified for the peer group as described above.

Named Executive Officers

Our named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2025, consisting of our principal executive officer and our next two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officer, were:

•Brian O’Toole, President and Chief Executive Officer;

_____________________

(1)Amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards granted to each named executive officer, computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. The actual value that a named executive officer will realize on each award will depend on the price per share of our common stock at the time shares underlying the awards are sold. Accordingly, these amounts do not necessarily correspond with the actual value recognized or that may be recognized by our named executive officers. The valuation assumptions used in determining such amounts for 2025 are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

(2)For the year ended December 31, 2025, the amounts reported represent the amounts paid under our Executive Incentive Compensation Plan in 2026. See “2025 Executive Bonus Program” below.

(3)For Mr. O’Toole, (i) the 2025 amount reflects $570 in life insurance premiums and (ii) the 2024 amount reflects $3,564 in life insurance premiums. For Mr. Dubois, (i) the 2025 amount reflects $10,500 in employer 401(k) plan contributions and $570 in life insurance premiums and (ii) the 2024 amount reflects $10,350 in employer 401(k) plan contributions and $3,564 in life insurance premiums. For Ms. Lin, (i) the 2025 amount reflects $10,500 in employer 401(k) plan contributions and $570 in life insurance premiums and (ii) the 2024 amount reflects $300 in mobile phone allowances, $10,350 in employer 401(k) plan contributions, and $2,322 in life insurance premiums.

Components of Executive Officer Compensation

For 2025, the key elements of the compensation program for our named executive officers consisted of a base salary, target cash incentive bonus awards and grants of equity awards. Base salary was set at a level that the compensation committee determined was commensurate with the executive’s respective duties and authorities, contributions, prior experience and sustained performance.

Equity awards granted in 2025 to our named executive officers were made in the form of options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”).

Executive Compensation Arrangements

Brian O’Toole – President and Chief Executive Officer: Employment Agreement

In connection with the merger, Legacy BlackSky entered into a confirmatory employment letter with Mr. O’Toole, our President and Chief Executive Officer. The confirmatory employment letter has no specific term and provides that Mr. O’Toole is an at-will employee. In 2025, Mr. O’Toole’s annual base salary was $510,000 and his target annual cash bonus opportunity was 100% of his annual base salary. Mr. O’Toole participated in our 2025 bonus program under the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, as described further below.

Mr. O’Toole’s confirmatory employment letter provides that Mr. O’Toole is eligible to receive annual equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans, subject to the approval of the administrator of the 2021 Plan, including the terms of any such awards. The confirmatory employment letter also provided the value of equity awards starting with calendar year 2022 that was expected, at the time of entry into the confirmatory employment letter, to be granted annually to Mr. O’Toole. Such expected value consisted of $973,000 in RSUs (based on our share price on the date of grant) and options to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to twice the number of shares subject to such RSU award for the applicable year with the intent of providing Mr. O'Toole with long-term incentive equity in the value of $1,946,000 each year. Such RSUs are generally expected to vest with respect to 25% of the RSUs on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and, with respect to the remaining RSUs, in equal quarterly installments thereafter over the following three-year period (in each case subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date), and such options are generally expected to vest with respect to 25% of the shares subject to the option on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and, with respect to the remaining shares subject to the option, in equal monthly installments thereafter over the following three-year period (in each case subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date). However, as noted above, the actual annual equity awards granted to Mr. O’Toole (if any) and the terms of such equity awards will be in the sole discretion of the administrator of the 2021 Plan.

In February 2025, Compensia provided our compensation committee with an analysis of our executive compensation program against the identified peer group (discussed further above). The study indicated that the value of Mr. O'Toole's long-term incentive compensation in 2024 (and for 2025 if similar value were to be delivered for his long-term incentive compensation for the year) was below the 25th percentile for chief executive officers within the peer group, also causing Mr. O'Toole's target total direct compensation to be below the 25th percentile for chief executive officers within the peer group. Following review of the study, the compensation committee approved grants of RSUs and options to Mr. O'Toole in March 2025 while the compensation committee continued during the year to consider a more comprehensive long-term equity incentive strategy and framework that may be more competitive with the market. Pursuant to the further review during 2025, the compensation committee additionally considered the Company's growth in recent market capitalization and Mr. O'Toole's efforts during 2024 and 2025 to improve the Company's balance sheet through multiple financing efforts, including the refinancing of the debt facility with Intelsat Jackson Holdings SA and Seahawk SPV Investment LLC. Based on such factors and Compensia's study from earlier in the year, the compensation committee determined to approve an additional RSU award to Mr. O'Toole covering 250,000 shares, in order to provide Mr. O'Toole further long-term equity incentives that promote retention and bring Mr. O'Toole's equity compensation to a level considered more competitive with the

Company's peer group companies. Such RSUs are scheduled to vest over a 3-year period, subject to Mr. O'Toole's continued service.

At the direction of our compensation committee, in March 2026, Compensia conducted an executive compensation study to aid the compensation committee in establishing our executive compensation program for 2026. The updated study maintained the peer group used in 2025, except for removing PROS Holdings and TrueCar, which were acquired in December 2025 and January 2026 respectively. The study showed company performance to be over the 60th percentile of our peer group across multiple metrics, including total shareholder return and revenue growth. In light of such findings as well as the Company's 2025 performance with respect to improving the balance sheet, growth in market capitalization, successful launch and demonstration of Gen-3 capabilities, and integration of the Company's satellite manufacturing capabilities, which were instrumental in positioning the Company for expansion of its total addressable market, and attracting a broader pool of institutional investors and financial analysts covering the Company, our compensation committee determined to adjust the intended value of Mr. O'Toole's annual long-term incentives to be $4.6 million in RSUs (based on our share price on the date of grant), with such RSUs vesting over a 4-year period, subject to his continued service. Such value was at approximately the 60th percentile of the long-term equity compensation for chief executive officers within the peer group reviewed by the compensation committee.

Mr. O’Toole participates in the Executive Severance Plan, as described further below, as a Tier 1 participant.

Henry Dubois – Chief Financial Officer: Executive Offer Letter

Legacy BlackSky entered into an executive offer letter with Mr. Dubois, effective August 18, 2021, as amended June 10, 2022, in connection with the appointment of Mr. Dubois as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The executive offer letter has no specific term and provides that Mr. Dubois is an at-will employee. In 2025, Mr. Dubois’s annual base salary was $425,000 and his target annual cash bonus opportunity was 100% of his annual base salary. Mr. Dubois participated in our 2025 bonus program under the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, as described further below.

Mr. Dubois’s executive offer letter provides that Mr. Dubois is eligible to receive annual equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans, subject to approval of the administrator of the 2021 Plan, including the terms of any such awards. The executive offer letter also provided the value of equity awards starting with calendar year 2022 that was expected, at the time of entry into the offer letter, to be granted annually to Mr. Dubois. Such expected value consisted of $875,000 in RSUs (based on our share price on the date of grant) and options to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to twice the number of shares subject to such RSU award for the applicable year with the intent of providing Mr. Dubois with long-term incentive equity in the value of $1,750,000 each year. However, as noted above, the actual annual equity awards granted to Mr. Dubois (if any) and the terms of such equity awards will be in the sole discretion of the administrator of the 2021 Plan.

After review of the executive compensation study conducted by Compensia in March 2026, and the strong 2025 company performance relative to peers as described further above under “Brian O’Toole – President and Chief Executive Officer: Employment Agreement,” our compensation committee determined to increase the intended value of Mr. Dubois's annual long-term incentive awards to $1,850,000 in RSUs (based on our share price on the date of grant) in order to maintain an unvested equity multiple more closely aligned with similarly-situated executives of our peer group and to aid in retention of Mr. Dubois.

Mr. Dubois participates in the Executive Severance Plan, as described further below, as a Tier 2 participant.

Christiana Lin – General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer: Executive Offer Letter

Legacy BlackSky entered into an executive offer letter with Ms. Lin, effective August 18, 2021, to serve as Legacy BlackSky’s General Counsel. The executive offer letter has no specific term and provides that Ms. Lin is an at-will employee. In 2025, Ms. Lin’s annual base salary was $400,000 and her target annual cash bonus opportunity was 60% of her annual base salary. Ms. Lin participated in our 2025 bonus program under the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, as described further below.

Ms. Lin’s executive offer letter provides that Ms. Lin is eligible to receive annual equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans, subject to approval of the administrator of the 2021 Plan, including the terms of any such awards. The executive offer letter also provided the value of equity awards starting with calendar year 2022 that was expected, at the time of entry into the offer letter, to be granted annually to Ms. Lin. Such expected value consisted of $750,000 in RSUs (based on our share price on the date of grant) and options to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to twice the number of shares subject to such RSU award for the applicable year with the intent of providing Ms. Lin with long-term incentive equity in the value of $1,500,000 each year. However, as noted above, the actual annual equity awards granted to Ms. Lin (if any) and the terms of such equity awards will be in the sole discretion of the administrator of the 2021 Plan.

After review of the executive compensation study conducted by Compensia in March 2026, and the strong 2025 company performance relative to peers as described further above under “Brian O’Toole – President and Chief Executive Officer: Employment Agreement,” our compensation committee determined to increase the intended value of Ms. Lin's annual long-term incentive awards to $1,750,000 in RSUs (based on our share price on the date of grant) in order to reflect increased levels of responsibilities assumed by Ms. Lin, as well as to maintain an unvested equity multiple more closely aligned with similarly-situated executives of our peer group and to aid in retention of Ms. Lin.

Ms. Lin participates in the Executive Severance Plan, as described further below, as a Tier 2 participant.

2025 Executive Bonus Program

For 2025, the compensation committee approved a bonus program under the terms of our Executive Incentive Compensation Plan in which each named executive officer participated. The 2025 bonus program required the achievement of certain corporate objectives, and in the case of Ms. Lin, certain corporate objectives and individual objectives. For 2025, the performance metrics for Mr. O’Toole and Mr. Dubois were Company revenue, cash balance, and adjusted EBITDA with the performance metrics weighted 50%, 40% and 10% respectively for purposes of their bonus calculations.

For 2025, the performance metrics for Ms. Lin were Company revenue, cash balance, adjusted EBITDA and individualized Management Based Objectives, or MBOs, with the Company revenue, cash balance and adjusted EBITDA performance metrics weighted at 40%, 30% and 10% respectively and the individualized MBOs weighted at 20% for purposes of her bonus calculation. Ms. Lin’s individualized MBOs were based on the achievement of certain legal, financial, operational, and personnel-related objectives.

For the portion of each named executive officer’s bonus based on the Company revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance metrics, the maximum payout was 175% of the target amount, and for the cash balance performance metric, the maximum payout was 200% of the target amount. For the portion of Ms. Lin’s bonus based on her individualized MBOs, the maximum payout was 120% of the target amount.

Pursuant to the Company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, the compensation committee as administrator of such plan (or the Board or other committee administering such plan) retains the authority to increase, reduce or eliminate any bonus award under it, based on any factors that such plan administrator determines to be relevant. To earn a bonus award under such plan, participants generally must remain employed with the Company through the date the bonus is paid.

Following the end of the 2025 fiscal year, the compensation committee assessed the Company’s performance against the performance metrics and Ms. Lin’s performance against her individualized MBOs. For 2025, the Company achieved an amount that was less than the target set with respect to the revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance metrics, the Company exceeded the target set with respect to the cash balance performance metric, and Ms. Lin exceeded the targets for her individualized MBOs, which resulted in annual cash awards under our Executive Incentive Compensation Plan being paid out for 2025 at 80% of target for Mr. O’Toole and Mr. Dubois, and 82% of target for Ms. Lin.

Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan

We maintain the BlackSky Technology Inc. Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”) to provide enhanced severance benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees (within the meaning of ERISA) who are designated by the plan administrator as participants and who have executed a participant agreement. Participants may be designated to receive different levels of benefits under the Executive Severance Plan as a Tier 1, 2 or 3 participant, as determined by the plan administrator and set forth in their applicable Participation Agreements. Mr. O’Toole has been designated as a Tier 1 participant under the Executive Severance Plan, and the other named executive officers have been designated as Tier 2 participants.

Upon a participant’s “involuntary termination” (generally defined as a termination of employment (x) by the Company without Cause, as defined in the Executive Severance Plan, and other than due to the participant’s death or disability, or (y) by the participant in a Good Reason Termination, as defined in the Executive Severance Plan, and such involuntary termination is not within a “change in control period” as defined below), the participant shall receive: (i) a lump sum payment equal to 150% (for a Tier 1 participant), 100% (for a Tier 2 participant), or 50% (for a Tier 3 participant) of base salary, (ii) a prorated target bonus for the year of termination (and any prior year bonus to the extent earned but not yet paid), and (iii) payment of COBRA premiums (or cash in lieu thereof) for a period of up to 18 months (for a Tier 1 participant), 12 months (for a Tier 2 participant) or six months (for a Tier 3 participant).

Upon a participant’s involuntary termination during the period beginning three months prior to a change in control (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) and ending 18 months after the change in control (the “change in control period”), the participant shall receive: (i) a lump sum payment equal to 200% (for a Tier 1 participant), 150% (for a Tier 2 participant), or 100% (for a Tier 3 participant) of base salary, (ii) a prorated target bonus for the year of termination (and any prior year bonus to the extent earned but not yet paid), (iii) payment of COBRA premiums (or cash in lieu thereof) for a period of up to 24 months (for a Tier 1 participant), 18 months (for a Tier 2 participant), or 12 months (for a Tier 3 participant), and (iv) full vesting of time-based equity awards.

All payments under the Executive Severance Plan are contingent on the participant’s execution of a separation agreement and release of claims in favor of BlackSky. In the event any payments would constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and would be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the participant is entitled to receive either the full amount of such payments, or an amount reduced to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of the excise tax, determined on a “best net after-tax” basis to the participant.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan, for the benefit of our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our 401(k) plan provides eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Under our 401(k) plan, eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation, within the limits prescribed by the Code and the applicable limits under the 401(k) plan, on a pre-tax or after-tax (Roth) basis, through contributions to the 401(k) plan. All of a participant’s deferral contributions into the 401(k) plan are 100% vested when contributed. The 401(k) plan permits us to make discretionary nonelective employer contributions and discretionary matching employer contributions. Any nonelective employer contribution allocated to a participant will be scheduled to vest as to 25% of such contribution when the participant completes two years of service and as to 25% of such contribution when the participant completes each additional year of service. Any matching employer contributions are 100% vested when contributed. The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, pre-tax contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those pre-tax contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan, and earnings on Roth contributions generally are not taxable when distributed from the 401(k) plan.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information

The compensation committee of our Board typically approves equity awards, if any are to be granted, in the third month of each fiscal quarter and outside of the quarterly blackout periods pursuant to our insider trading policy. We have not granted, nor do we intend to grant, stock options in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, such as a significant positive or negative earnings announcement, and we have not taken, nor do we intend to take, material nonpublic information into account when determining the terms of stock options. Similarly, we have not timed, nor do we intend to time, the release of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Director Compensation

Each non-employee director on our Board is eligible to receive compensation for their service consisting of annual cash retainers and equity awards under our outside director compensation policy, as amended (the “Outside Director Compensation Policy”). The Outside Director Compensation Policy is designed to more closely align the interests of the non-employee directors with the interests of stockholders through equity awards and to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors by providing competitive compensation. In September 2025, Compensia provided our compensation committee with an analysis of outside director compensation against our fiscal 2025 peer group, which is described further above under “Executive Compensation – Peer Group.” The study indicated that the value of the total compensation for outside directors was near the 60th percentile for outside directors in such positions within the peer group with a higher amount paid in cash (above the 90th percentile of peers) than equity (at or below the 50th percentile of peers). However, outside directors that wished to receive higher equity amounts had

the option to elect to receive their cash stipend in equity rather than cash. The study further found that because we do not provide additional compensation to the committee chairpersons, the value of the total compensation to the chairperson of the Board and the chairperson of our audit committee was below the 50th percentile. After review of the study, in December 2025, the compensation committee (excluding Mr. Porteous) recommended, and the Board (excluding Mr. Porteous and Mr. Tolonen) approved, the grant of a one-time award to Mr. Porteous of RSUs covering 1,500 shares and a one-time award to Mr. Tolonen of RSUs covering 750 shares, each to vest in full on September 11, 2026, or, if earlier, the day of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders that occurs after the grant date of the award, subject to continued service (each, a “One-Time Director Equity Grant”). Upon further review and discussion, our compensation committee recommended in March 2026, and the Board approved in April 2026, the amendment and restatement of the Outside Director Compensation Policy to increase the grant date fair value of each Annual Award (as defined below) to be granted to the chairperson of the Board and the chairperson of our audit committee by $30,000 and $15,000, respectively, on a prospective basis. All compensation paid to our non-employee directors for fiscal year 2025 was pursuant to the terms of the Outside Director Compensation Policy then in effect, other than the One-Time Director Equity Grants.

Cash Compensation

The Outside Director Compensation Policy provides for an annual cash retainer of $90,000, which is payable quarterly in arrears on a prorated basis. There are no additional retainers for service as a member (or chairperson) of a committee of our Board, as chairperson of our Board, or as lead director, and there are no per-meeting attendance fees for attending meetings of our Board or any of our committees. Pursuant to the Outside Director Compensation Policy, directors who elect to receive the annual retainer in shares of our common stock, instead of cash, will receive such retainer in shares of our stock.

Equity Compensation

Initial Award. Pursuant to the Outside Director Compensation Policy, each individual who becomes a non-employee director will receive, on the first trading day on or after the date that the individual first becomes a non-employee director, an initial award (the “Initial Award”) of RSUs with a grant date fair value equal to $300,000. The Initial Award will be scheduled to vest as to one-third of the shares subject to the Initial Award on each of the one-, two-, and three-year anniversaries of the Initial Award’s grant date, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting dates. If the person was a member of the Board and also an employee, becoming a non-employee director due to termination of employment will not entitle the individual to an Initial Award.

Annual Award. Pursuant to the Outside Director Compensation Policy, as in effect in fiscal year 2025, each non-employee director automatically will receive, on the first trading day immediately after the date of each annual meeting of our stockholders, an annual award (the “Annual Award”) of RSUs covering a number of shares of our common stock having a grant date fair value of $150,000, provided that such individual, as of the date of an annual meeting of our stockholders, has served as a non-employee director for at least six months. In 2025, in addition to the compensation pursuant to the Outside Director Compensation Policy, Mr. Porteous and Mr. Tolonen received the One-Time Director Equity Grants; see “Director Compensation” above for additional information. Beginning in 2026, the grant date fair value of each Annual Award for the chairperson of the Board and the chairperson of our audit committee was adjusted to be $180,000 and $165,000, respectively. Each Annual Award will be scheduled to vest as to all of the shares subject to the Annual Award on the one-year anniversary of the Annual Award’s grant date or, if earlier, the day of the next annual meeting of stockholders that occurs after the grant date of the Annual Award, subject to continued service through such vesting date.

Other Initial Award and Annual Award Terms. Each Initial Award and Annual Award will be granted under the 2021 Plan (or its successor plan, as applicable) and form of award agreement under such plan. For purposes of each Initial Award and Annual Award, the award’s grant date fair value will be determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Change in Control. In the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2021 Plan (or its successor plan, as applicable), each non-employee director’s then-outstanding equity awards covering shares of our common stock that were granted to them while a non-employee director will accelerate vesting in full, provided that they remain a non-employee director through the date of the change in control.

Director Compensation Limits. The Outside Director Compensation Policy provides that a non-employee director may not be granted equity awards, the value of which will be based on their grant date fair value determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and be provided any other compensation (including without limitation any cash retainers or fees) in amounts that, in any fiscal year, in the aggregate, exceed $500,000, provided that in the fiscal year of the individual’s initial service as a non-employee director, such amount will be increased to $800,000. Equity awards granted or other compensation provided to an individual for their services as employee, or for their services as a consultant (other than as a non-employee director), will not count toward this annual limit.

Director Compensation for Fiscal Year 2025

The following table sets forth information regarding the total compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our non-employee directors for their service on our Board, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Directors who are also our employees receive no additional compensation for their service as directors. During 2025, Mr. O’Toole was an employee and executive officer of the Company and, therefore, did not receive compensation as a director. See “Summary Compensation Table” above for additional information regarding Mr. O’Toole’s compensation.

Pursuant to the Outside Director Compensation Policy, our directors could elect to receive their annual cash retainer in shares of our common stock instead of cash in 2025. The amounts reflected below under the column titled “Fees Paid or Earned in Cash” include the annual retainer as either cash or common stock in lieu of cash.

Total	4,428,690	$	11.44	981,369

_____________________

(1)Restricted stock units, which do not have an exercise price, are excluded in the calculation of weighted-average exercise price.

(2)Equity compensation plans approved by our stockholders include the 2021 Plan and the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan and the ESPP, upon effectiveness of our one-for-eight reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) , the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that are available for sale or issuance under either plan and any share-based limits under the ESPP were adjusted by dividing the applicable number of shares as of immediately prior to the Reverse Split by eight and rounding any resulting fractional share down to the nearest whole share. The 2021 Plan provides that the number of shares of common stock available for issuance will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal 2022, in an amount equal to the least of (i) 2,813,087 shares, (ii) five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or (iii) such other amount as the administrator (our Board or any of its committees) may determine. The ESPP provides that the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the ESPP will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year, in an amount equal to the least of (i) 562,625 shares, (ii) one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or (iii) such other amount as the administrator (our Board or any committee designated by the Board) may determine. Our Board determined not to increase the amount of the ESPP as of January 1, 2026.

(3)Includes shares of our common stock available for issuance as of December 31, 2025 as follows: 435,079 under the ESPP, which includes 26,420 subject to purchase during the current purchase period, and 546,290 under the 2021 Plan.

(4)Each of the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was adopted by Legacy BlackSky prior to the business combination, and no additional awards will be granted pursuant to the 2014 Plan or the 2011 Plan. However, we assumed certain equity awards granted pursuant to each of the 2014 Plan and 2011 Plan in connection with the business combination. As of December 31, 2025, the number of securities to be issued upon exercise, or vesting, of outstanding equity awards pursuant to the 2014 Plan was 71,783 and the weighted-average exercise price of the outstanding options was $3.38. As of December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding equity awards under the 2011 Plan.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2026, by:

•each person or group of affiliated persons known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock;

•each of our named executive officers and directors; and

•all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if they or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes securities that the individual or entity has the right to acquire, such as through the exercise of stock options, within 60 days of March 31, 2026. Shares subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2026 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Except as noted by footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, based on the information provided to us, we believe that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them. The beneficial ownership percentages in the table below are calculated based on 37,063,884 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The following is a description of each transaction since January 1, 2024, and each currently proposed transaction, in which:

•we have been or are to be a participant;

•the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the smaller reporting company's total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years; and

•any of our directors (including director nominees), executive officers, or beneficial holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals or entities, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions

LeoStella Acquisition

On November 6, 2024, we acquired the remaining 50% of the common units of LeoStella LLC (“LeoStella”). LeoStella was previously a joint venture with Thales Alenia Space US Investment LLC (“Thales”) and we accounted for LeoStella as an equity method investment. On the acquisition date, LeoStella became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. LeoStella is a vertically-integrated small satellite design and manufacturer based in Tukwila, Washington.

Thales Related Operational Agreement

On July 9, 2025, BlackSky Global and Thales Alenia Space Italia S.p.A entered into an agreement under which BlackSky Global agreed to purchase equipment to support 5 Gen-3 satellite units for a total purchase price of up to $13.5 million.

Intelsat Facility

On October 31, 2019, Legacy BlackSky and its Subsidiaries entered into a secured loan facility, as amended by a First Amendment, dated September 9, 2021, and a Second Amendment, dated May 9, 2023, (the “Intelsat Facility”), with Seahawk and Intelsat Jackson Holdings S.A. (“Intelsat”), as lenders, and Intelsat, as agent for the lenders. The Intelsat Facility provides for a secured term loan of up to approximately $68.5 million (including

approximately $18.5 million of existing principal and accrued interest owed under a Loan and Security Agreement, dated October 19, 2017, as amended, with Seahawk, which was amended and rolled into the Intelsat Facility) and an uncommitted incremental secured term loan facility of up to approximately $41.6 million. The allowance for a $25.0 million commercial credit facility with a commercial lender is counted against such incremental capacity. The Intelsat Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and subsidiaries.

From January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025, BlackSky paid approximately $3.1 million in interest under the Intelsat Facility. In July 2025, BlackSky repaid these loans in their entirety plus accrued interest in the amount of $100.2 million (the “Intelsat Facility Loan Payoff”).

In connection with entering into the Intelsat Facility, Legacy BlackSky entered into a Right of First Offer Agreement with Intelsat (the “Right of First Offer Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Right of First Offer Agreement, prior to commencing or engaging in a sale of Legacy BlackSky, Legacy BlackSky is obligated to provide written notice of any such proposed sale to Intelsat and Intelsat will have the opportunity to provide Legacy BlackSky with an offer to purchase Legacy BlackSky (an “Intelsat Offer”). Pursuant to the terms of the Right of First Offer Agreement, if Legacy BlackSky does not accept an acquisition offer made by Intelsat, Legacy BlackSky would be permitted to negotiate and enter into an alternative sale transaction, so long as the total enterprise value for Legacy BlackSky and its subsidiaries is greater than 110% of the value implied by any Intelsat Offer. The Right of First Offer Agreement remained in effect after the Intelsat Facility Loan Payoff and is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2026. This description of the Right of First Offer Agreement is only a summary.

Procedures with Respect to Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions

Our Board adopted a formal written policy for the review and approval of transactions with related persons. Such policy requires, among other things, that:

•any related person transaction, and any material amendment or modification to a related person transaction, must be reviewed and approved or ratified by an approving body comprised of the disinterested and independent members of our Board or any committee of our Board, provided that a majority of the members of the Board or such committee, respectively, are disinterested; and

•any employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation must be approved by the compensation committee of our Board or recommended by the compensation committee to our Board for its approval.

In connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related person transaction:

•management must disclose to the approving body the name of the related person and the basis on which the person is a related person, the related person’s interest in the transaction, the material terms of the related person transaction, including the business purpose of the transaction, the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction, the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction and all the material facts as to the related person’s direct or indirect interest in, or relationship to, the related person transaction;

•management must advise the approving body as to whether the related person transaction complies with the terms of our agreements, including the agreements governing our material outstanding indebtedness, that limit or restrict our ability to enter into a related person transaction;

•management must advise the approving body as to whether the related person transaction will be required to be disclosed in applicable filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and related rules, and, to the extent required to be disclosed, management must ensure that the related person transaction is disclosed in accordance with such statutes and related rules; and

•management must advise the approving body as to whether the related person transaction may constitute a “personal loan” for purposes of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In addition, the related person transaction policy provides that the approving body, in connection with any approval 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 any exchange on which our securities are listed.

Director Independence

The NYSE listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who has no material relationship with the listed company, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company. Our Board has determined that each of Mr. Porteous, Dr. Abraham, Ms. Gordon, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Tolonen, and Mr. DiDomenico representing six of our seven directors, do not have 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 is an “independent director” as defined under the listing standards of the NYSE. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with BlackSky and all other facts and circumstances that the board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

There are no family relationships among any of our directors, director nominees or executive officers.

Auditor Independence

In 2025, there were no other professional services provided by Deloitte, other than those listed above, that would have required our audit committee to consider their compatibility with maintaining the independence of Deloitte.

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

Our audit committee has a policy governing our use of the services of our independent registered public accounting firm. Under this policy, our audit committee is required to pre-approve all services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair such accounting firm’s independence. All services provided by Deloitte for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 were pre-approved by our audit committee.
