Memo to Employees Regarding Contemplated Business Transaction
When: Thursday, February 18, 2021
From: Brian O’Toole
To: All Employees
Subject: Memo to Employees Regarding Contemplated Business Transaction
BlackSky Team,
I am pleased to share with you some exciting news about our company. In a press release issued today, we announced that BlackSky intends to list on the New York Stock Exchange through a business combination with Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: SFTW, SFTW.U, and SFTW.WS). This is a milestone day for BlackSky, and I want to thank you all for your dedication and hard work to get us to this point.
This highly strategic transaction will provide BlackSky with significant additional financial resources that are expected to extend its AI/ML analytics platform, expand BlackSky’s small satellite constellation, add additional sensors and data feeds and accelerate its penetration of the commercial market.
I believe that this transaction will fund our growth plan and accelerate our vision of providing our customers with a first to know advantage. This transaction is a testament to the exceptional technology and the efficient, integrated business that we have built together. Thank you all for your dedication and hard work to get us to this point.
Please bear in mind that we will continue to operate under BlackSky’s name. Because Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. is already publicly traded, the newly combined company is expected to be listed on the NYSE under the new ticker symbol “BKSY.” The boards of directors of both BlackSky and Osprey have unanimously approved the proposed transaction and is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of Osprey’s shareholders. The transaction is expected to close in July 2021.
Please remain focused on execution and operational excellence as we continue to serve our strategic partners and customers. However, as we enter this new chapter, there are some rules we must all follow. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has strict guidelines governing publicity. To avoid any repercussions the SEC might impose if we do not adhere to these rules, we must avoid speaking publicly about this process and our business metrics and financials. Accordingly, I ask that you refrain from making statements about our company or this event in open forums (including online, to family, to friends, on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, via email, to existing or prospective clients, etc.). Confidentiality will be critical as we move through the business combination process and assume operations as a public company.

If someone asks you about the process of going public or company fundamentals, the best response is something polite like, “Thank you for your interest in BlackSky, but I cannot comment.” If pushed further, you can say something like, “I can’t speak to that, but I would be happy to connect you with the appropriate team members.”
Should you receive any press inquiries, please forward details of the inquiry to our team at kkeane@blacksky.com who can help handle media requests appropriately during this sensitive time. Please understand that communications are highly regulated through this process, and it is critically important that we all abide by these guidelines.
We are sure that many of you will have questions. We will provide you with a “Frequently Asked Questions” document that will address many of the relevant logistics, regulations, and duties attached to the new business structure required of public company employees, as well as guidelines for external communications. Please feel free to reach out to Katie Keane (kkeane@blacksky.com) with any additional questions on the transaction.
Finally, I want to thank you all for your hard work and dedication to our collective success and to advancing our vision. I look forward to working with you in this next phase of our evolution.
Sincerely,
Brian O’Toole
CEO of BlackSky

Typical Public Company FAQs
Q – What is the change occurring at BlackSky?
A – BlackSky is becoming a publicly traded company, and the newly combined company is expected to be listed on the NYSE under the new ticker symbol “BKSY”. To accelerate our timeline to becoming public, we are combining with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) named Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: SFTW, SFTW.U, and SFTW.WS).

Q – How is this different from a traditional IPO?
A – Going public through a SPAC is similar to a traditional IPO, in that at the close of the transaction, the newly combined company is expected to be listed on the NYSE under the new ticker symbol “BKSY.” Several other growth companies have recently gone public with SPACs.
BlackSky chose Osprey as our partner due to the team’s extensive technology, investing, financial and transaction experience and its commitment to help BlackSky capitalize on the many opportunities ahead of us. We look forward to benefiting from Osprey’s support as we work to execute our compelling growth plans.
Q – What does it mean to be a “U.S. public company”?
A – To be a U.S. public company usually means that the company is permitted to offer its securities (stock, bonds, etc.) for sale to the general public, typically through an exchange.
Q – What is the reason or benefit(s) for going public?
A – Becoming a public company provides BlackSky with a number of benefits, including:
| • | access to a source of capital to help fund our growth; |
| • | the ability to further support our growth and operations; |
| • | improved awareness and brand recognition; and |
| • | enhanced credibility that comes with being a listed company on an exchange. |

A – We expect that going public will have little practical impact on your day-to-day responsibilities.
Importantly, as a public entity there are strict rules that dictate how BlackSky and its employees are permitted to publicly speak about the company and its business endeavors. Therefore, is it critical that no employees speak on behalf of the company to the media or other organizations about the company’s financials, upcoming deals, or make any forward-looking statements relating to future business conditions.

External Communications as a Public Company
Q – What kind of disclosure must a U.S. public company provide?
A – U.S. public companies must provide regular disclosure to the market of significant developments affecting their business and/or value of their securities. There are two general types of public disclosure obligations imposed on U.S. public companies. First, the company is obligated to file various periodic reports and statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), all which are available to the general public. Each of these reports and statements requires the company to disclose and discuss various types of information relating to the company. Second, the company is subject to certain continuing obligations to disclose on a timely basis material information concerning the company, (i.e. acquisition, major contract outside our normal course of business, new director, etc.).
Q – How will becoming public change the way BlackSky communicates?
A – The level of information flow will necessarily change as a result of public company obligations explained below. We will communicate with investors and other regulators on a quarterly and yearly basis, but must only discuss information that is contained in news releases, quarterly and annual SEC filings and annual reports, proxies, investor presentations and other publicly issued information.
Q – Where can I find BlackSky’s SEC filings?

Q – Who are the spokespeople for BlackSky?
A – Please do not speak to members of the media about BlackSky or comment publicly on the business. If you are contacted by a member of the media please notify the team at kkeane@blacksky.com.

10
Table of Contents
A – No. As a public company we will need to make sure that only specified persons discuss future plans or business projections about the company. Please do not discuss future plans or business projections externally.
Q – Clients are asking me questions about going public or about the health of our business, what should I tell them?
A – We are strictly limited in our ability to speak about the performance of the business. As we go through this process to become a public company, confidentiality is more important now than ever. Sharing confidential details can jeopardize the deal and create regulatory trouble.
We have already prepared communications to go out to our partners and customers explaining the transaction and what this opportunity means for all of us. If your friends, family or business contacts want information regarding the transaction, please direct them to our press release.
If someone asks you about the process of going public or company fundamentals, the best response is something polite like, “Thank you for your interest in BlackSky, but I cannot comment.” If pushed further, you can say something like, “I can’t speak to that, but I would be happy to connect you with the appropriate team members.”
Q – Can I forward or repost internal memos?
A – No. Please do not forward to anyone or repost for public or private consumption any executive or internal memos. We send these materials to you in an effort to offer as much transparency as possible to our employees, and we request that you respect the confidential nature of these communications.
Q – Can I post on social media about BlackSky?
A – Please be respectful and professional in all photos that you choose to upload from the workplace or associate in any way with BlackSky. Keep in mind the below restrictions: you cannot post any information related to topics including, but not limited to:
| • | BlackSky’s financial performance (revenue, earnings, losses, etc.); |
| • | Confidential business and/or prospectus information; |
| • | A change in business-impacting trends; |
| • | A pending or prospective merger, acquisition or tender offer; |
| • | A pending or prospective contract or award; |

| • | Major changes in senior management; and |
| • | Any other material non-public information. |
Additionally, with respect to communications around the transaction, while we understand that you are excited about the milestone, please do not post about the transaction on social media or repost BlackSky’s social media posts on the transaction. Additionally, please do not draft your own commentary related to going public or our expectations as a public company, as it is important that all messaging on the subject is driven and directed by the company. Please see the social media policy provided for additional information.

Insider Trading
Q – What is Insider Trading?
A – Federal securities laws prohibit directors, officers, employees and others who are aware of material non-public information about a company from trading on that information. Disclosing material non-public information to others who then trade on it is also against the law, and both the person who discloses the information and the person who trades on it are liable. These illegal activities are commonly referred to as insider trading.
Q – What exactly is material non-public information?
A – Material non-public information is any information about a company that has not reached the general marketplace and that would be important to investors who are deciding whether to trade its securities. A few examples of non-public information that could be considered material include significant contracts, financial forecasts or earnings estimates, major management changes, proposed mergers, acquisitions, or dispositions, major litigation, securities offerings, stock splits, or repurchases of company securities. Please inquire with Katie Keane (kkeane@blacksky.com) if you have any questions about whether information you possess would constitute material non-public information.
Q – When is information considered “public”?
A – Information becomes public when it is generally available. For example, information becomes “public” after it has been disclosed in an SEC filing or announced via a press release that is carried by a major wire service. However, even after information becomes generally available, employees are encouraged to wait at least two (2) full trading days before considering it “public” for trading purposes.
Q – Do the restrictions on insider trading apply only to employees?
A – The law applies to officers, directors, employees, and agents of the company, as well as suppliers and consultants who have special access to such information. The law also applies to spouses, children, and anyone else in an employee’s home. Anyone can be an insider if he/she is trading securities on material non-public information.
Q – I often speak about business with my spouse, that’s not a problem, is it? I only occasionally reveal non-public information, and my spouse knows not to tell anyone else.
A – This is a problem that could be costly for you and BlackSky. If your spouse were ever to use material non-public information given by you to buy or sell securities, both of you could be prosecuted for illegal insider trading, which could result in going to jail. You could also be prosecuted if your spouse shares the information with someone else and that person buys or sells the company’s securities. You should not disclose any non-public information to anyone, including your spouse.
Q – I would never trade on inside information, but what if I give my dad a tip just before a big news release…can he get in trouble?
A – Yes. Legally, you cannot trade securities based on material non-public information if that information is obtained in the course of your employment. In addition, you cannot leak such information to others. This could lead to prosecution for illegal insider trading for both you and your dad, which could result in going to jail.
Q – I’m involved with a project at work performing due diligence on ABC Company, which we are likely to acquire or partner with. The transaction will cause BlackSky’s and ABC Company’s stock to increase substantially. I know I cannot trade on BlackSky’s stock, but can I trade ABC Company stock?
12
Table of Contents
A – No. The prohibition against insider trading extends not only to trading in the company’s securities but also to the securities of any other organization with which we do business if the employee gains the information at work.
Q – These are a lot of rules. How will I ever know whether I can trade in BlackSky securities?
A – To assist you in analyzing any proposed trade, please contact Katie Keane (kkeane@blacksky.com), Acting General Counsel; VP, Legal.
