Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 9, 2023, as amended on February 9, 2023 and June 16, 2023 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among First Light Acquisition Group, Inc. ("FLAG"), FLAG Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), First Light Acquisition Group, LLC, Allan Camaisa and Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Old Calidi"), on September 12, 2023, Merger Sub merged with and into Old Calidi, with Old Calidi surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (such merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Business Combination"). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, (the "Closing"), (cont'd. in FN 2) (cont'd. from FN 1) each share of common stock of Old Calidi (the "Old Calidi Common Stock") outstanding as of the time of the merger (the "Effective Time") converted into the right to receive approximately 0.41 share (the "Conversion Ratio") of the Issuer's Common Stock. The Reporting Person was originally granted Non-Qualified Stock Options by Old Calidi (the "Calidi Options"), which was assumed by the Issuer at the Effective Time and automatically converted into options exercisable for the Issuer's Common Stock (the "Assumed Options"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Old Calidi 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, and the Old Calidi 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (together, the "Calidi Equity Incentive Plan"). Each Assumed Option has the right to acquire a number of shares of Issuer's Common Stock equal to (as rounded down to the nearest whole number) the product of (A) the number of shares of Old Calidi Common Stock subject to such Calidi Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, (cont'd in FN 4) (cont'd from FN 3) multiplied by (B) the Conversion Ratio; (1) at an exercise price equal to (as rounded up to the nearest whole cent) the quotient of (A) the exercise price of such Calidi Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the Conversion Ratio; and (2) subject to the same vesting schedule as such Calidi Option. The exercise price and the number of shares of Issuer's Common Stock underlying the Assumed Options reflects the Conversion Ratio adjustment made in connection with the Closing. These non-qualified stock options were granted on July 8, 2020 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable option agreement under the Calidi Equity Incentive Plan. The options vest as follows (i) 25% vested immediately on the date of grant, and (ii) the remaining 75% of such shares vesting monthly in equal installments over the next four years, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service to the Issuer on each vesting date. These non-qualified stock options were granted on March 30, 2021 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable option agreement under the Calidi Equity Incentive Plan. The options vest monthly in equal installments over four years from the grant date, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service to the Issuer on each vesting date. These non-qualified stock options were granted on February 1, 2022 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable option agreement under the Calidi Equity Incentive Plan. The options vest monthly in equal installments over four years from the grant date, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service to the Issuer on each vesting date. Directly held by the Reporting Person and Cynthia L. Schoeneck, the Reporting Person's wife. Directly held by James & Cynthia Schoeneck Family Trust (the "Trust"). Mr. Schoeneck is a trustee of the Trust, and may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by the Trust. Mr. Schoeneck disclaims beneficial ownership of any such securities, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that such Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or otherwise.
