Item 8.01 Other Events

On August 1st, 2024, in the context of the previously announced costs savings measures, the Executive Leadership Team and Board of Directors of Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), voted to voluntarily reduce their base salaries. Additionally, both the CEO and COO previously had taken a 20% salary reduction in the fourth quarter of 2023. As a result of this new action and the prior reductions, base salaries of the Company’s principal executive officer and other named executive officers were reduced to the following amounts per annum:

Name and Principal Position	Base Salary	Adjusted Base Salary
Kent Wilson, Chief Executive Officer/Board of Directors	$ 487,500.00	$ 316,875.00
Jeff Hail, Chief Operations Officer	$ 428,922.00	$ 278,799.30
Ian Kantrowitz, VP of Investor Relations/Board of Directors	$ 176,953.00	$ 115,019.45

Other Executives of the Company, including the combined permanent and interim CFO position, voluntarily reduced their salaries by an average of 33%. In addition, the non-employee members of the Board of Directors also voluntarily reduced their Board fees by an average of 49%. These reductions, in addition to previously mentioned personnel reductions at the Alpine 4 Corporate level, will see aggregate savings in payroll general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.2M per annum.

These reductions took affect August 16, 2024. The Board and the Compensation Committee will continue to monitor the Company’s performance and the compensation of the Company’s executive officers and adjust accordingly.
