EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement is filed by Mynd.ai, Inc. (the “Registrant”) for the purpose of registering additional ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), of the Registrant under the Mynd.ai, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
Pursuant to the Evergreen Provision and the Amendment (each as defined below), an aggregate of 162,105,960 Ordinary Shares are registered under this Registration Statement.
The number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance under the Plan is subject to an automatic annual increase on the first day of each calendar year during the term of the Plan equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, on a fully diluted basis, on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such smaller number of Ordinary Shares as determined by the Registrant’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), in its discretion (the “Evergreen Provision”). Consequently, pursuant to the Evergreen Provision, the number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance under the Plan increased by an aggregate of 27,731,110 Ordinary Shares and 28,374,850 Ordinary Shares on January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026, respectively, which Ordinary Shares are registered under this Registration Statement.
In addition, on June 17, 2026, the Board approved an amendment to the Plan (the “Amendment”) to increase the number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance under the Plan by a one-time amount equal to 106,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which Ordinary Shares are also registered under this Registration Statement.
Pursuant to Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of the Registrant’s prior registration statement on Form S-8 registering Ordinary Shares under the Plan (File No. 333-278480) (the “Prior Registration Statement”) is hereby incorporated by reference herein, and the information otherwise required by Form S-8 is omitted, except that the provisions contained in Part II of the Prior Registration Statement are modified as set forth in this Registration Statement.
