Note 9 Share-Based Compensation

Prior to the Tailwind Two Merger, Legacy Terran Orbital maintained the Amended and Restated Terran Orbital Corporation 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). In connection with the Tailwind Two Merger, the Company terminated the 2014 Plan and adopted the Terran Orbital Corporation 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). All of the outstanding share-based compensation awards granted under the 2014 Plan were cancelled and substituted for awards under the 2021 Plan in the same form and on substantially the same terms and conditions.

Share-based compensation expense totaled $13.8 million and $186 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $31.2 million and $354 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. All of the Company's outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”) included a performance condition that requires a liquidity event to occur in order to vest. Accordingly, the Company previously did not recognize share-based compensation expense associated with the RSUs as their performance condition was not probable of being met until such an event occurred. Upon closing of the Tailwind Two Merger, the Company recorded a cumulative catch-up of approximately $17.2 million in order to begin recognition of share-based compensation expense associated with these RSUs as the performance condition was met, of which $2.1 million was recorded to cost of sales and $15.1 million was recorded to selling, general, and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on the classification of each employee's compensation expense.

2021 Plan

The 2021 Plan authorizes the issuance of no more than 13,729,546 shares of Terran Orbital Corporation's common stock pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan. The number of authorized shares issuable under the 2021 Plan is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year during the term of the 2021 Plan, equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of the aggregate number of shares of Terran Orbital Corporation’s common stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (ii) such smaller number of shares of Terran Orbital Corporation’s common stock as determined by the Company’s board of directors. Further, under the 2021 Plan, the number of authorized shares issuable under the 2021 Plan may be adjusted in case of changes to capitalization or other corporate events. As of June 30, 2022, there were approximately 22 million shares of Terran Orbital’s common stock underlying outstanding awards, which were cancelled under the 2014 Plan and substituted for awards under the 2021 Plan. The shares underlying such substituted awards are incremental to, and do not count against, the authorized share pool of the 2021 Plan.

During July 2022, the Company granted approximately 2.2 million RSUs under the 2021 Plan. The majority of these RSUs will vest over a four year period.

2014 Plan

During January 2022, the 2014 Plan was amended to authorize the issuance of no more than 941,355 shares of Legacy Terran Orbital’s common stock, which represents 25,967,343 shares of Terran Orbital Corporation’s common stock on a converted basis.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and prior to the Tailwind Two Merger, the Company granted approximately 6.4 million RSUs under the 2014 Plan with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $8.12.

The majority of these RSUs (referred to as “Retention RSUs”) will generally vest on the later to occur of: (i) the first anniversary of the consummation of the Tailwind Two Merger and (ii) the trading price of Company’s common stock equaling or exceeding $11.00 or $13.00, as applicable, for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period. The Retention RSUs expire five years from the Tailwind Two Merger if unvested. The derived service period for the Retention RSUs was estimated to be less than one year from the date of the Tailwind Two Merger based on the median weighted-average triggering event period determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model. As the derived service period is less than one year, the share-based compensation expense associated with the Retention RSUs will be recognized over a one-year period beginning from the consummation of the Tailwind Two Merger. In addition, the grant date fair value of the Retention RSUs was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model using the following significant inputs and assumptions as of the valuation date: (i) the price per share of Terran Orbital Corporation’s common stock, (ii) the risk-free interest rate, (iii) the dividend yield, (iv) the estimated volatility, and (v) a discount for lack of marketability.

For the granted RSUs that are not Retention RSUs, the grant date fair value was based on the fair value of Legacy Terran Orbital’s common stock. Prior to the Tailwind Two Merger and in the absence of a public market for the Legacy Terran Orbital’s common stock, the valuation of the Legacy Terran Orbital’s common stock has been determined using an option pricing model, which is used to allocate the total enterprise value of the Company to the different classes of equity as of the valuation date. The significant assumptions used in the option pricing model include: (i) total enterprise value of the Company based on the guideline publicly-traded company method, guideline transaction method, market calibration method and discounted cash flow method;​ (ii) liquidation preferences, conversion values, and participation thresholds of different equity classes; (iii) probability-weighted time to a liquidity event;​ (iv) expected volatility based upon the historical and implied volatility of common stock for the Company’s selected peers;​ (v) expected dividend yield of zero as the Company does not have a history or plan of declaring dividends on its common stock; (vi) risk-free interest rate based on U.S. treasury bonds with a zero-coupon rate, (vii) implied valuation, timing, and probability of the Tailwind Two Merger; and (viii) a discount for the lack of marketability of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Tailwind Two Merger, the estimates will no longer be necessary to determine the fair value of the Company’s common stock as there is a public market for the underlying shares.

PredaSAR Plan

In connection with the PredaSAR Merger, the PredaSAR Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “PredaSAR Plan”) was terminated. The stock options granted under the PredaSAR Plan were modified by cancellation and replacement with RSUs granted under the 2014 Plan. The incremental share-based compensation to be recognized over the service period of the RSUs as a result of the modification totaled approximately $445 thousand and was based on the incremental fair value of the RSUs granted compared to the fair value of the stock options immediately prior to cancellation. The Company did not recognize any incremental share-based

compensation expense associated with the RSUs during the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 as the performance condition was not probable of being met until a liquidity event occurs. However, the Company continued to recognize share-based compensation expense related to the original grant date fair value of the cancelled stock options as the stock options were probable of vesting pursuant to their original terms.
