Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On September 4, 2024, BlackSky Technology Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-8 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Certificate of Amendment became effective on September 6, 2024 at 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time, and the Common Stock will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the New York Stock Exchange on the opening of trading on September 9, 2024.

An amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued Common Stock, at a ratio of 1-for-2 to 1-for-25, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”), was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on September 4, 2024. The specific Reverse Stock Split was subsequently approved by the Company’s board of directors on September 4, 2024.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every eight issued shares of the Common Stock were automatically combined into one issued share of the Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be paid in cash.

In addition, proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise or settlement of the Company’s outstanding equity awards and warrants, the applicable exercise price and the number of shares of the Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans.

The information set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this Report as Exhibit 3.1.

Item 5.07.       Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On September 4, 2024, the Company held the Annual Meeting. Holders of the Common Stock were entitled to one vote on each proposal for each share held as of the close of business on July 16, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting. The matters voted on at the Annual Meeting and the votes cast with respect to each such matter are set forth below:
