On November 25, 2024, George Matus, our Chief Technology Officer and CEO of our subsidiary, Teal Drones, Inc., gave notice that he will be leaving his position in thirty (30) days.

On November 27, 2024, we appointed Geoffrey Hitchcock as our new Chief Revenue Officer.

Geoffrey Hitchcock, age 62, has served as the General Manager of our subsidiary Teal Drones, Inc. since March of 2024. Previously, since September of 2021, he has served as the Senior Vice President for Global Defense Solutions at Red Cat Holdings, Inc. Prior to joining Red Cat, Mr. Hitchcock served as Vice President for Sales and Business Development at Vantage Robotics, a supplier of military and commercial UAVs and UAV equipment, from April of 2021 through August of 2021. At Vantage Robotics, he was responsible for establishing U.S. government and international business relationships with a focus on penetrating new market segments to support sales growth. From April of 2017 to April of 2021, Mr. Hitchcock was Director of International Business Development at AeroVironment, a leading manufacturer of uncrewed aircraft systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and loitering munition systems. From October of 2004 to April of 2017, he was Director of Flight Operations at AeroVironment. Prior to entering the private sector, Mr. Hitchcock served for twenty-two years in the U.S. Air Force, where he served as the UAV Subject Matter Expert for the Air Force Special Operations Command from January of 2003 to October of 2004. His earlier roles in the Air Force included serving as the Operations Superintendent for the 720^th Special Tactics Group, the Operations Superintendent for the 21^st Special Tactics Squadron, and as part of the 24^th Special Tactics Squadron of the Joint Special Operations Command. Mr. Hitchcock holds a B.S. in Aeronautics from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and an Associate degree in Airway Science from the Community College of the Air Force.

Mr. Hitchcock will serve under an Executive Employment Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 (the “Agreement”). The Agreement, which is deemed retroactively effective as of October 1, 2024, runs for a period of two years and will automatically renew for successive one (1) year additional terms unless either party provides notice that it intends not to renew the Agreement at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, as applicable. Mr. Hitchcock’s base salary under the Agreement will be $230,000 per year, subject to adjustment by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors as provided therein.

Our CEO, in consultation with the Compensation Committee, will define a set of goals and objectives, which may be quantitative as well as qualitative in nature, to be achieved by Mr. Hitchcock in order to earn an Annual Bonus. Subject to cash availability, the earned portion of the Annual Bonus will be paid within 45 days after the CEO’s determination of the degree to which the relevant targets have been met. Mr. Hitchcock’s attainment of any financial targets associated with any bonus shall not be determined until after completion of our annual audits and public disclosure of the relevant financial results. Mr. Hitchcock must remain employed through the date of payment of the Annual Bonus in order to earn and receive the Annual Bonus.

Under the Agreement, Mr. Hitchcock will receive an initial equity award in the amount of 575,000 shares of our common stock to be granted under our 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. 50,000 of the shares are vested upon grant, with the remainder of the shares to vest in equal installments of 262,500 shares each on October 1 of 2025 and 2026. Upon termination of Mr. Hitchcock’s employment for any reason, he shall be entitled to: (A) all unpaid base salary earned through the termination date; (B) all accrued but unused vacation time (if any); (C) reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses that were incurred but unpaid as of the termination date; and (D) all vested benefits and unpaid amounts that were earned pursuant to the Agreement.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 1, 2024, by and between Red Cat Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), and Geoffrey Hitchcock, an individual (“Executive”). As used herein, the “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall mean October 1, 2024.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Executive desires to serve as Chief Revenue Officer and the Company wishes to employ the Executive in such capacity; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and their respective covenants and agreements contained in this document the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

1. Employment and Duties. The Company agrees to employ, and the Executive agrees to serve as the Company’s Chief Revenue Officer. The duties and responsibilities of the Executive shall include the duties and responsibilities as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) may from time to time assign to the Executive reasonably commensurate with those duties and responsibilities normally associated with and appropriate for someone in the position of Chief Revenue Officer. As used herein, “Board” and “Compensation Committee” shall mean, respectively, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee of the Board.

The Executive shall devote all of Executive’s business time and best efforts to the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement and shall be subject to, and shall comply with the written Company policies, practices and procedures and all codes of ethics or business conduct applicable to Executive’s position, as in effect from time to time to the extent provided or made available to Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be eligible to (i) serve as a member of the board of directors of not more than two companies, subject to the advance written approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (ii) serve on civic, charitable, educational, religious, public interest or public service boards, subject to the advance written approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) manage the Executive’s personal and family investments, in each case, to the extent such activities do not materially interfere, as determined by the Board in good faith, with the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.

2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of two (2) years following the Effective Date (unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 11) and shall be automatically renewed for successive one (1) year periods thereafter unless either party provides the other party with written notice of their intention not to renew this Agreement at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term of this Agreement. “Employment Period” shall mean the initial two (2) year term plus renewals, if any. In order for Executive to be eligible for the 2^nd year term, Executive must exceed at least 85% of his quota.

3. Place of Employment. The Executive’s services shall be primarily performed at the Company’s offices 2800 SW Temple Street, Unit 2, South Salt Lake, UT 84115, or such other location(s) as mutually agreed upon in writing between the Company and the Executive.

Base Salary. The Company agrees to pay the Executive a base salary (“Base Salary”) equal to

$230,000 per annum. The Base Salary shall be paid in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. The Base Salary may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee in the Compensation Committee’s discretion (which may constitute Good Reason as defined herein).

Bonus/Equity Compensation.

(a) Bonuses. For each fiscal year, the Executive shall be eligible to earn and receive an annual bonus the (“Annual Bonus”) of up to $175,000, in addition to the Base Salary, to be paid in cash or stock, as reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee. The Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with the Compensation Committee, will define a set of goals and objectives during the Employment Period as a basis for determining a bonus award(s). Such goals may be quantitative as well as qualitative in nature. Subject to cash availability, the earned portion of the Annual Bonus shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within 45 days after the Chief Executive Officer’s determination of the degree to which the relevant targets have been met, it being understood that the attainment of any financial targets associated with any bonus shall not be determined until following the completion of the Company’s annual audit and public announcement of such results. Executive must remain employed with the Company through the date of payment of the Annual Bonus in order to earn and receive such Annual Bonus.

If the Chief Executive Officer is unable to act or if there shall be no such Chief Executive Officer, then all references herein to the Chief Executive Officer shall be deemed to be references to the Compensation Committee.

(b) Equity Compensation Awards. Subject to approval of the Compensation Committee, Executive will receive an initial award (the “Initial Award”) and be eligible for such grants of awards under the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (or any successor or replacement plan adopted by the Board and approved by the stockholders of the Company) (the “Plan”) as the Compensation Committee or Board may from time to time determine (the “Share Awards”). A description of the Initial Award is set forth on Exhibit A annexed hereto with vesting as set forth therein. Share Awards shall be subject to the applicable Plan terms and conditions, provided, however, that Share Awards shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions as are provided herein or in any award, Board/Compensation Committee resolution or certificate(s), which shall supersede any conflicting provisions governing Share Awards provided under the Plan. Executive must timely execute the applicable Share Award agreement prescribed by the Company as a condition of any such award and such Share Award agreement shall provide the governing terms and conditions.

Post-Employment Compensation.

(a) Upon termination of Executive’s employment (“Termination Date”) for any reason, the Executive shall be entitled to: (A) all unpaid Base Salary earned through the Termination Date to be paid according to Section 4; (B) all accrued but unused vacation time (if any); (C) reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses that were incurred but unpaid as of the Termination Date as set forth in Section 8; and (D) all vested benefits and unpaid amounts that were earned pursuant to this Agreement (collectively “Accrued Benefits”).

(b) In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason and subject to the additional provisions of Section 11(d), then in addition to the Accrued Benefits, Executive shall also be eligible for the following separation benefits (“Separation Benefits”): (i) twelve months of Executive’s then Base Salary (but no lower than Executive’s Base Salary prior to any reduction that constituted good reason) and benefits, (ii) accelerated vesting of the unvested time-based vesting portion of Executive’s outstanding Share Awards, and (iv) continuation of coverage with respect to the Company’s group health plans as permitted by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) for Executive and each of Executive’s “Qualified Beneficiaries” as defined by COBRA (“COBRA Coverage”). The Company shall on a monthly basis reimburse Executive for the amount of any COBRA premium paid for COBRA Coverage timely elected by and for the Executive and any Qualified Beneficiary of the Executive, and not otherwise reimbursed, during the period that ends on the earliest of (x) the date the Executive or the Qualified Beneficiary, as the case may be, ceases to be eligible for COBRA Coverage, (y) the last day of the consecutive 6 month period following the Termination Date and (z) the date the Executive or the Qualified Beneficiary, as the case may be, is covered by another group health plan. In order for the Company to reimburse any COBRA premium payment under this paragraph, the Company must receive documentation from Executive of the COBRA premium payment paid by Executive within forty-five (45) days of its payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that its payment of the premiums on Executive’s behalf would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Internal Revenue Code Section 105(h)(2) or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then the Company shall instead each month provide Executive with a taxable payment equal to the amount of the Company’s portion of the premiums which Executive may, but is not required to, use towards the cost of COBRA Coverage.

7. Clawback Policy. The Annual Bonus, Share Awards, and any and all other stock based, or incentive compensation (collectively, the “Clawback Benefits”) shall be subject to the Company’s “Clawback Policy” in Exhibit B as such policy may be amended or replaced by the Company. The parties acknowledge it is their intention and understanding that the Clawback Policy is intended to conform in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and related regulations of the SEC and stock exchange upon which the Company’s securities are traded which, among other things, require recovery of all “incentive-based” compensation, pursuant to the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended from time to time to assure compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act and such rules and regulations as in effect on the Effective Date and which may be amended from time to time. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason.

8. Business Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for all reasonable ordinary and necessary travel, entertainment, and other business expenses incurred by the Executive while employed by the Company (in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Company for its senior executive officers) in the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, that the Executive shall properly account for such business expenses in accordance with Company policies and procedures. Reimbursement of approved business expenses shall be paid out even after the Termination Date, so long as the expenses were incurred during Executive’s employment with the Company.

9. Other Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in incentive, stock purchase, savings, retirement (401(k)), and welfare benefit plans, including, without limitation, health, medical, dental, vision, life (including accidental death and dismemberment) and disability insurance plans (collectively, “Benefit Plans”), in substantially the same manner and at substantially the same levels as the Company makes such opportunities available to the Company’s managerial or salaried executive employees and/or its senior executive officers.

10. Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to accrue, on a pro rata basis, 3 weeks of paid vacation days per year. Vacation shall be taken at such times as are acceptable to the Company and no more than 10 consecutive days shall be taken at any one time without Company Chief Executive Officer written approval in advance. Vacation must be taken each year and may not accrue. The Company may in its discretion modify (or eliminate) these vacation provisions in accordance with its vacation policy for salaried employees.

11.

Termination of Employment.

(a) Death. If the Executive dies during the Employment Period, this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company shall automatically terminate and the Company’s obligations to the Executive’s estate and to the Executive’s Qualified Beneficiaries shall be limited to the Accrued Benefits.

(b) Disability. In the event that, during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be prevented from performing Executive’s essential functions hereunder to the full extent required by the Company by reason of Disability (as defined below), this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company shall

automatically terminate. The Company’s obligation to the Executive and to the Executive’s Qualified Beneficiaries under such circumstances shall be limited to the Accrued Benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental disability that prevents the performance by the Executive, with or without reasonable accommodation, of essential functions hereunder for an aggregate of ninety (90) days or longer during any twelve (12) consecutive months. The determination of the Executive’s Disability shall be made by an independent physician who is reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Executive (or Executive’s representative), be final and binding on the parties hereto and be made taking into account such competent medical evidence as shall be presented to such independent physician by the Executive and/or the Company or by any physician or group of physicians or other competent medical experts employed by the Executive and/or the Company to advise such independent physician.

(c)

Cause.

(1) At any time during the Employment Period, the Company may terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (a) Executive’s willful failure or gross misconduct in performing Executive’s material duties and responsibilities for the Company or following the lawful instructions of the person or body to which Executive reports (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive’s death or Disability) after a written notice by the Board is delivered to the Executive, which notice identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has violated this clause (a) and such violation is not fully cured by the Executive within fifteen (15) business days following Executive’s receipt of such written notice; (b) the conviction of Executive of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or crime involving fraud or moral turpitude, (c) Executive’s theft, material act of dishonesty or fraud, intentional falsification of any employment or Company records, or commission of any criminal act which impairs Executive’s ability to perform Executive’s employment duties for the Company, (d) Executive’s intentional or reckless conduct or gross negligence materially harmful to the Company or the successor to the Company after a change in control of the Company, including violation of a non-competition or confidentiality agreement; or (e) a material breach or violation by Executive of this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or of a written Company policy. Termination under clauses (b), (c), (d), or (e) of this Section 11(c)(1) shall not be subject to cure. The ability for Executive to cure a violation under clause (a) shall be limited to one time with respect to a violation covering the same or similar facts.

(2) For purposes of this Section 11(c), no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company. Between the time the Executive receives written notice as set forth in subparagraph (1) clause (a) above, and prior to an actual termination for Cause, the Executive will be entitled to appear (with counsel) before the full Board to present information regarding Executive’s views on the Cause event. After such hearing before the Board, termination for Cause must be approved by a majority vote of the full Board (other than the Executive). For terminations pursuant to Sections 11(c)(1)(b), (c), (d), or (e), the Board may suspend the Executive with full pay and benefits until a final determination by the full Board has been made.

(3) Upon termination of this Agreement and Executive’s employment for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligations or liability to the Executive or Executive’s heirs, administrators, or executors with respect to compensation and benefits thereafter, except for the Accrued Benefits. Additionally, all of Executive’s outstanding vested and unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights shall be then forfeited without consideration.

(d)

For Good Reason or Without Cause.

(1) At any time during the Employment Period and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11(d)(2) below, the Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause by providing written notice to the Executive and the Executive may terminate this

Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company for “Good Reason”. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events without Executive’s consent:

(A) the assignment to the Executive of duties that are significantly different from, and/or that result in a substantial diminution of, the duties that Executive assumed on the Effective Date (including reporting to anyone other than solely and directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer); (B) the assignment to the Executive of a title that is different from and subordinate to the Chief Revenue Officer of the Company; (C) material breach by the Company of this Agreement, or (D) a required relocation of the Executive's primary place of employment (as described in Section 3) by more than a 50 mile radius.

(2) The Executive shall not be permitted to terminate employment and this Agreement for Good Reason unless and until the Executive shall have delivered written notice to the Company within ninety (90) days of the date upon which the facts giving rise to Good Reason occurred of Executive’s intention to terminate this Agreement and employment with the Company for Good Reason, which notice specifies in reasonable detail the circumstances claimed to provide the basis for such termination for Good Reason, and the Company shall not have cured or remedied the circumstances constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days of its receipt from the Executive of such written notice. In the event the Executive elects to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason in accordance with Section 11(d)(1), such election must be made within the eighty (180) days following the initial existence of one or more of the conditions constituting Good Reason as provided in Section 11(d)(1).

(3) In the event that the Executive terminates this Agreement and Executive’s employment with the Company for Good Reason or the Company terminates this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or, following death, to the Executive’s heirs, administrators or executors) the Section 6(b) benefits provided, that the Executive executes (within no later than 45 days after the Termination Date) a separation agreement prescribed by the Company (“Separation Agreement”) which among other things releases the Company and its affiliates from any and all claims, such release is irrevocable by the time specified in the Separation Agreement, and the Executive complies with Executive’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, and all other obligations owed to the Company. Subject to the terms hereof including without limitation that the Separation Agreement has become effective under its own terms, one-half (1/2) of the compensation of the Separation Benefits payment under Section 6(b)(i) shall be paid within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date (“Initial Payment”), provided however that if the effectiveness of the Separation Agreement could potentially occur in more than one calendar year, the Initial Payment shall be made in the later of such two calendar years. The balance of the Separation Benefits under Section 6(b)(i) shall be paid in substantially equal installments on the Company’s regular payroll dates beginning with the first payroll date coincident with or immediately following the Initial Payment and ending on the payroll date coincident with or immediately following the date that is six months after the Termination Date. For avoidance of doubt, none of the payments or benefits under Section 6(b)(i) through (iii) shall be provided unless and until the Separation Agreement has become effective by its own terms.

(4) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 11(d) by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 11(d) be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer or business or by profits earned by the Executive from any other source at any time before and after the Termination Date. The Company’s obligation to make any payment pursuant to, and otherwise to perform its obligations under, this Agreement shall not be affected by any offset, counterclaim or other right that the Company may have against the Executive for any reason.

(e) Without “Good Reason” by the Executive. At any time during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company without Good Reason by providing prior written notice of at least thirty (30) days to the Company. Upon termination by the Executive of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company without Good Reason, the

Company shall have no further obligations or liability to the Executive or Executive’s heirs, administrators, or executors except for the Accrued Benefits.

(f) Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive (other than termination by reason of the Executive’s death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

12.

Confidential Information and Company Property.

(a) Executive recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that Executive has had and will continue to have access to secret and confidential information regarding the Company and Company, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses (“Confidential Information”), including but not limited to, its products, methods, formulas, software code, patents, sources of supply, customer dealings, data, know-how, trade secrets and business plans, provided such information is not in or does not hereafter become part of the public domain, or become known to others through no fault of the Executive. The Executive acknowledges that such information is of great value to the Company and Company, is the sole property of the Company, and has been and will be acquired by Executive in confidence. In consideration of the obligations undertaken by the Company herein, the Executive will not, at any time, during or after employment hereunder, reveal, divulge, or make known to any person, any information acquired by the Executive during the course of employment, which is treated as confidential by the Company, and not otherwise in the public domain. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason.

(b) Executive affirms that Executive does not possess and will not rely upon the protected trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information of any prior employer(s) in providing services to the Company or its subsidiaries.

(c) Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall deliver forthwith to the Company any and all originals and copies, including those in electronic or digital formats, of Confidential Information; provided, however, the Executive shall be entitled to retain (i) papers and other materials of a personal nature, including, but not limited to, photographs, correspondence, personal diaries, calendars and rolodexes, personal files and phone books, (ii) information showing compensation or relating to reimbursement of expenses, (iii) information that Executive reasonably believes may be needed for tax purposes and (iv) copies of plans, programs and agreements relating to employment, or termination thereof, with the Company.

(d) Executive is aware that all Company property, including physical property, documents, and Confidential Information that Executive receives or creates during employment with the Company, belongs to the Company. Executive understands and agrees that Executive has a duty and a responsibility to return all such property upon the Termination Date. Executive therefore agrees that, pursuant to that duty, upon the Termination Date, or at any other time upon the Company’s request, Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all such property, documents, and Confidential Information.

13.

Section 409A.

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with or be exempt from Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 409A (“Section 409A”) and the related Treasury Regulations and shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. The Company and the Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such

reasonable actions necessary, appropriate, or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A or income recognition prior to actual payment to the Executive under this Agreement.

It is intended that any business expense reimbursement made under this Agreement shall be exempt from Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any expense reimbursement made under this Agreement shall be determined to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A (“Deferred Compensation”), then

(a) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (b) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year (provided that this clause (b) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect) and (c) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred.

With respect to the time of payments of any amount under this Agreement that is Deferred Compensation, references in the Agreement to “termination of employment” and substantially similar phrases, including a termination of employment due to the Executive’s Disability, shall mean “Separation from Service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A (determined after applying the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)). Each installment payable hereunder shall constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b), including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii). Each payment that is made within the terms of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) is intended to meet the “short-term deferral” rule. Each other payment is intended to be a payment upon an involuntary termination from service and payable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A- 1(b)(9)(iii), et. seq., to the maximum extent permitted by that regulation, with any amount that is not exempt from Code Section 409A being subject to Code Section 409A.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Termination Date, then only that portion of the severance and benefits payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, if any, and any other payments or benefits which may be considered Deferred Compensation (together, the “Deferred Separation Benefits”), which (when considered together) do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined herein) may be made within the first six (6) months following the Termination Date in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.

POLICY ON RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION

Overview

The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to adopt this Policy to provide for the recovery of certain Incentive-Based Compensation in the event of an Accounting Restatement. This Policy is designed to comply with, and shall be interpreted to be consistent with, Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the regulations and rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”), and the applicable rules, regulations and listing standards of the Exchange (collectively, and as the same may be in effect from time to time, the “Applicable Rules”). Unless otherwise defined in this Policy, capitalized terms used in this Policy have the meanings given to them in Section 2.

Definitions

(a) “Accounting Restatement” means an accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.

(b)

“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company, as constituted from time to time.

(c) “Clawback Eligible Incentive-Based Compensation” means, in connection with an Accounting Restatement and with respect to each individual who served as a Senior Executive at any time during the applicable performance period for any Incentive-Based Compensation (whether or not such Senior Executive is serving at the time the Erroneously Awarded Compensation is required to be recouped by the Company), all Incentive-Based Compensation Received by such Senior Executive (i) on or after the Effective Date, (ii) after beginning service as a Senior Executive, (iii) while the Company has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange, and

(iv) during the applicable Look-Back Period.

(d) “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee or subcommittee of the Board, if any, duly appointed to administer this Policy and having such powers in each instance as shall be specified by the Board and as specified in Section 3 of this Policy. The Board may also serve as the Committee.

“Company” means Red Cat Holdings, Inc. a Nevada corporation.

(f)

“Effective Date” means the date of execution of this Agreement.

(g) “Erroneously Awarded Compensation” means, with respect to each Senior Executive in connection with an Accounting Restatement, the amount of the Clawback Eligible Incentive-Based Compensation that exceeds the amount of the Incentive-Based Compensation that would have been Received had the amount of such Incentive- Based Compensation been calculated based on the restated amounts, as determined by the Committee, calculated by the Committee without regard to any taxes paid. With respect to Incentive-Based Compensation based on (or derived from) TSR or stock price, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in the applicable Accounting Restatement, the Committee shall determine the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the TSR or stock price upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was Received.

(h)

“Exchange” means The Nasdaq Stock Market.

(i)

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(j) “Financial Reporting Measure” means any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measure that is derived wholly or in part from such measure, including but not limited to, “non-GAAP financial measures” for purposes of Exchange Act Regulation G and Item 10 of Regulation S-K, as well as other measures, metrics and ratios that are not non-GAAP measures, like same store sales. Financial Reporting Measures include but are not limited to the following (and any measures derived from the following): stock price; TSR; revenues; net income; operating income; profitability of one or more reportable segments; financial ratios (e.g., accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover rates); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations; liquidity measures (e.g., working capital, operating cash flow); return measures (e.g., return on invested capital, return on assets); earnings measures (e.g., earnings per share); sales per square foot or same store sales, where sales is subject to an Accounting Restatement; revenue per user, or average revenue per user, where revenue is subject to an Accounting Restatement; cost per employee, where cost is subject to an Accounting Restatement; any of such financial reporting measures relative to a peer group, where the Company’s financial reporting measure is subject to an Accounting Restatement; and tax basis income. A Financial Reporting Measure need not be presented within the Company’s financial statements or included in a report or other document filed with the SEC.

Incentive-Based Compensation includes, without limitation: any non-equity incentive plan awards that are earned based wholly or in part on satisfying a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal; bonuses paid from a “bonus pool,” the size of which is determined based wholly or in part on satisfying a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal; other cash awards based on satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal; restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share units, stock options, and stock appreciation rights that are granted or become vested based wholly or in part on satisfying a Financial Reporting Measure Performance Goal; and proceeds received upon the sale of shares acquired through an incentive plan that were granted or vested based wholly or in part on satisfying a Financial Reporting Measure performance goal.

(l) “Look-Back Period” means, with respect to an Accounting Restatement, the three completed fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the Restatement Date and any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years (except that a transition period that comprises a period of at least nine months shall count as a completed fiscal year).

(m) “Policy” means this Policy on Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, and/or restated from time to time.

(n) “Received” means, with respect to Incentive-Based Compensation, actual or deemed receipt, and Incentive-Based Compensation shall be deemed “Received” in the Company’s fiscal period during which the applicable Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of such Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period. If an equity award vests only upon satisfaction of a Financial Reporting Measure performance condition, the award shall be deemed Received in the fiscal period when it vests. Ministerial acts or other conditions necessary to effect issuance or payment, such as calculating the amount earned or obtaining Board approval of payment, do not affect the determination of the date Received.

(o) “Restatement Date” means the earlier to occur of (i) the date the Board, a committee of the Board, or the officer or officers of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement or (ii) the date a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement, in each case regardless of if or when the restated financial statements are filed.

Administration of Policy

The Committee is authorized to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of this Policy and to use any of the Company’s resources it deems appropriate to recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation.

(b) Determinations of financial and/or accounting irregularities for purposes of this Policy shall be made by the Committee independently of, and the Committee shall not be bound by, determinations by management or by any other committee of the Board.

(c) In the administration of this Policy, the Committee is authorized and directed to consult with the full Board, or such other committees of the Board as may be necessary or appropriate as to matters within the scope of such other committee’s responsibility and authority. Subject to any limitation under applicable law, the Committee may authorize and empower any officer or employee of the Company to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Policy (other than with respect to any recovery under this Policy involving such officer or employee).

Accounting Restatements; Recoupment

(a) If the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the Company shall determine, in accordance with this Policy and the Applicable Rules, the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation for each Senior Executive in connection with such Accounting Restatement, irrespective of any fault, misconduct or responsibility of any Senior Executive for the Accounting Restatement, and thereafter the Company shall reasonably promptly recover such amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. In connection with the foregoing, the Committee, which may act in conjunction with the Company’s Audit Committee, shall take all such actions required by this Policy and the Applicable Rules.

(b) If there was Erroneously Awarded Compensation, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the timing and method(s) for promptly recouping the same, which methods may include, without limitation, one or more of the following: (i) requiring reimbursement of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation;

(ii) requiring reimbursement of any equity based compensation awarded; (iii) cancelling outstanding cash or equity- based awards, whether vested or unvested or paid or unpaid; (iv) cancelling or offsetting against any compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Senior Executive, including any future cash or equity-based awards; (v) requiring the forfeiture of deferred compensation, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder; (vi) seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity-based awards; and (viii) pursuing any other reasonable remedies. Subject to compliance with applicable law, the Committee may effect recoupment under this Policy from any amount otherwise payable to a Senior Executive, including amounts payable to such individual under any otherwise applicable Company plan or program, including base salary, bonuses or commissions and compensation previously deferred by the Senior Executive.

(c) To the extent that the Committee determines to recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation from a Senior Executive by requiring the repayment of such Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the Company, and such Senior Executive fails to repay all Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the Company when due, the Company may take all actions reasonable and appropriate to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation from the applicable Senior Executive. The applicable Senior Executive shall be required to reimburse the Company for any and all expenses reasonably incurred (including legal fees) by the Company in recovering such Erroneously Awarded Compensation in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) In the event of an Accounting Restatement, except to the extent permitted by the Applicable Rules, the Committee will generally treat all Senior Executives (including former employees) the same with respect to any actions seeking to recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation.

Impracticability

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be required to recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy if the Compensation Committee of the Board, or in the absence of such a committee, a majority of the independent directors serving on the Board, has determined that recovery would be impracticable in accordance with the Applicable Rules and subject to the procedural and disclosure requirements in the Applicable Rules.

Other Recoupment Rights

The Board intends that this Policy shall be applied to the fullest extent of the law. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 304 of the U.S. Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or Section 954 of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as amended), pursuant to the terms of any other policy of the Company, pursuant to the terms of any employment agreement, equity award agreement, severance or other agreement, and any other legal remedies available to the Company. Nothing herein, and no recoupment or recovery as contemplated by this Policy, shall (i) limit any claims, damages or other legal remedies the Company or any of its affiliates may have against a Senior Executive arising out of or resulting from any actions or omissions by the Senior Executive or (ii) limit the Company’s ability to seek recovery, in appropriate circumstances (including circumstances beyond the scope of this Policy) as permitted by applicable law, of any amounts from any employee, whether or not the employee is a Senior Executive.

No Indemnification or Company-Paid Insurance

Notwithstanding the terms of any indemnification or insurance policy or any contractual arrangement with any Senior Executive that may be interpreted to the contrary: (a) the Company shall not indemnify any Senior Executive against (i) the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation that is recouped, repaid, returned or recovered pursuant to the terms of this Policy; or (ii) any claims relating to the Company’s enforcement of its rights under this Policy; and (b) the Company is prohibited from paying or reimbursing a Senior Executive for the cost of or premiums of any third-party insurance purchased to fund any potential obligations of a Senior Executive under this Policy. Further, the Company shall not enter into any agreement that exempts any Incentive-Based Compensation from the application of this Policy or that waives the Company’s right to recoup any Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and this Policy shall supersede any such agreement (whether entered into before, on or after the Effective Date).

Committee Indemnification

No members of the Committee, nor any other members of the Board who assist in the administration of this Policy, nor any officer of employee of the Company authorized and empowered by the Committee who assists in the administration of this Policy shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to this Policy, and each of the foregoing shall be fully indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent under applicable law and Company policy with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation. The

foregoing sentence shall not limit any other rights to indemnification of the members of the Board or any officer of employee of the Company under applicable law, Company policy or contractual arrangement.

Retroactive Application

This Policy applies to any Incentive-Based Compensation that is Received by a Senior Executive on or after the Effective Date, even if such Incentive-Based Compensation was approved, awarded, granted, or paid to such Senior Executive prior to the Effective Date. Without limiting the generality of Section 4, and subject to applicable law, the Committee may recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy from any amount of compensation approved, awarded, granted, payable or paid to the Senior Executive prior to, on or after the Effective Date.

10.

Notice to Senior Executives

The Company shall provide notice and seek written agreement to this Policy from each Senior Executive in form attached hereto; provided that the failure to obtain such agreement shall have no impact on the applicability or enforceability of this Policy.

11.

Amendment and Termination; Interpretation; Successors

(a) The Board may amend, modify, supplement, restate, rescind, terminate, or replace all or any portion of this Policy at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, as the Board deems necessary to reflect and comply with applicable law or any of the Applicable Rules. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Policy and any of the Applicable Rules, the Applicable Rules shall control, and this Policy shall be deemed amended to incorporate such Applicable Rules unless the Committee shall expressly determine otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, rescission, termination or replacement of this Policy shall be effective if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, rescission, termination or replacement would (after taking into account any actions taken by the Company contemporaneously with such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, rescission, termination or replacement) cause the Company to violate any of the Applicable Rules or other applicable law.

(a) This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Senior Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators, or other legal representatives, to the fullest extent of the law.
