EXPLANATORY NOTE

On April 6, 2023, Owlet, Inc. filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (“Original Form 10-K”). The Original Form 10-K omitted portions of Part III, Items 10 (Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance), 11 (Executive Compensation), 12 (Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters), 13 (Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence), and 14 (Principal Accountant Fees and Services) in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which provides that such information may be either incorporated by reference from the registrant’s definitive proxy statement or included in an amendment to Form 10-K, in either case filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) not later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year.

We no longer expect that the definitive proxy statement for our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders will be filed within 120 days of December 31, 2022. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (“Amendment”) is being filed solely to:

•amend and restate Part III, Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the Original Form 10-K to include the information required by such Items;

•delete the reference on the cover of the Original Form 10-K to the incorporation by reference of portions of our proxy statement into Part III of the Original Form 10-K; and

•file new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as exhibits to this Amendment under Item 15 of Part IV hereof, pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment, we are not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

This Amendment does not otherwise change or update any of the disclosures set forth in the Original Form 10-K and does not otherwise reflect any events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, the Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are defined as set forth in the Original Form 10-K.

As used in this report, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires: “we,” “us,” “our,” “Owlet,” the “Company,” and similar references refer to Owlet, Inc. and its subsidiaries, “common stock” refers to our Class A common stock and “warrants” refers to our publicly traded warrants.

Narrative to the Summary Compensation Table

2022 Annual Base Salary

We pay our executives a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to our company. The base salary payable to our executives is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. In March 2022 , our Compensation Committee increased the base salary for each of our named executive officers as follows: Mr. Workman’s base salary was increased from $350,000 to $375,000, Ms. Scolnick’s base salary was increased from $350,000 to $375,000, and Mr. Abbott’s base salary was increased from $450,000 to $475,000. The salary amount listed for each of our named executive officers in the “Salary” column of the Summary Compensation Table above reflects the salary actually paid to each during 2022.

Our Board and Compensation Committee may adjust the base salaries of any of our named executive officers from time to time in their discretion.

2022 Annual Bonus Program

We maintain a performance-based bonus program in which all of our named executive officers participate. Each named executive officer's target bonus is expressed as a percentage of base salary, and 2022 bonus opportunities were based on achievement of certain revenue targets established by our Compensation Committee. For 2022, the target bonuses for our named executive officers, as a percentage of base salary, were 60% for Mr. Workman, 60% for Mr. Abbott and 50% for Ms. Scolnick.

Our Board and Compensation Committee may adjust the target bonus opportunities of any of our named executive officers from time to time in their discretion.

In July 2022, our Compensation Committee discontinued our performance-based bonus program for 2022 to help sustain the Company’s business; therefore, no performance-based bonuses for 2022 performance have been or will be paid to our named executive officers.

2022 Retention Bonuses

In March 2022, our Compensation Committee approved cash retention bonuses for our named executive officers, with each named executive officer eligible to receive $50,000 on each of July 8, 2022 and January 6, 2023, subject to the named executive officer’s continued employment through the respective dates. The first installment of Mr. Abbott’s retention bonus was paid in cash, pursuant to his election, in July 2022 and is reflected in the “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Pursuant to their respective elections, the first installment of Ms. Scolnick’s and Mr. Workman’s retention bonuses were paid in fully vested RSUs which were granted in August 2022. The first $50,000 of the grant date fair value of the RSUs is reflected in the “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table, and the remaining $16,578 of the grant date fair value of the RSUs is reflected in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table. The terms of these RSUs are described below under “2022 Equity Compensation - RSUs.” To help sustain the Company’s business, and with the consent of the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee determined that the second installment of the retention bonuses otherwise payable on January 6, 2023 would not be paid.

2022 Equity Compensation

We have granted stock options, time-based RSUs, and PSRUs to our employees, including our executive officers, in order to attract and retain them, as well as to align their interests with the interests of our shareholders.

Performance-Based RSUs

In March 2022, we granted each of Mr. Workman, Mr. Abbott, and Ms. Scolnick an award of 105,263 PRSUs, with each PRSU representing the right to receive one share of our Common Stock upon vesting. Each award vests as to 40% to 50% of the total PRSUs if certain net revenue goals are achieved for 2022, subject to continued service through the date the Compensation Committee determines whether the performance goal has been met, and as to
5
Table of Contents
50% of the total PRSUS if and when FDA medical clearance is granted for the BabySat Rx, Class II, subject to continued service through such clearance date.

Additionally, in March 2022 Mr. Workman was granted 789,474 PRSUs, Mr. Abbott was granted 526,316 PRSUs, and Ms. Scolnick was granted 210,526 PRSUs. Each award vests as to 25% of the total PRSUs if our cumulative net revenue equals or exceeds $150 million, $300 million, $450 million, and $600 million, respectively, during the performance period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2025, subject to continued service through the applicable date that the Compensation Committee determines that a goal has been met.

Time-Based RSUs
In March 2022, we granted Mr. Workman an award of 789,474 RSUs, Mr. Abbott an award of 526,316 RSUs, and Ms. Scolnick an award of 210,526 RSUs. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of our Common Stock upon vesting. Each RSU award vests as to 25% of the total RSUs on the first anniversary of the date of grant and as to 1/16th of the total RSUs on each quarterly anniversary thereafter, subject to continued service through the applicable date.
In April 2022, we granted Mr. Workman an award of 2,760 RSUs, Mr. Abbott an award of 17,744 RSUs, and Ms. Scolnick an award of 9,201 RSUs, in each case reflecting the portion of their 2021 annual bonus payment which was paid in equity.

Each award vests as to 100% of the RSUs on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued service.
In August 2022, we granted to each of Ms. Scolnick and Mr. Workman an award of 28,947 fully-vested RSUs in satisfaction of the retention bonus payments discussed above under “2022 Retention Bonuses.”
Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Savings and Health and Welfare Benefits

We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. From January 2022 through November 2022, we matched 50% of the first 6% of a participant’s annual eligible compensation, up to the limit set by the Internal Revenue Service. Our Compensation Committee approved suspending this employer match effective December 2022 to help sustain the Company’s business. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies.

All of our full-time employees, including our executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans. These health and welfare plans include (i) medical, dental and vision benefits, (ii) short-term and long-term disability insurance, and (iii) supplemental life and accidental death & dismemberment insurance.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We determine perquisites on a case-by-case basis and will provide a perquisite to a named executive officer when we believe it is necessary to attract or retain the named executive officer, and such determinations may be made in consultation with the Board, Compensation Committee, Company management, an independent compensation consultant or other independent consultants or advisors. During 2022, each of our named executive officers (along with all of our employees) were eligible for a $250 work-from-home stipend and a $100 per month work-life balance stipend.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information relating to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock as of April 24, 2023 by:

•
each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than five percent of the outstanding shares of any class of our outstanding voting securities;
•each of the Company’s directors and director nominees;
•each of the Company’s named executive officers included in the Summary Compensation Table; and
•all of the Company’s directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to SEC rules, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or become exercisable within 60 days. Except as described in the footnotes below, we believe that based on the information furnished to us, each person and entity named in the table below has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, subject to any applicable community property laws.

The number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by our directors and executive officers includes shares that such persons have the right to acquire within 60 days of April 24, 2023, including through the exercise of stock options and warrants conversion of Series A Preferred Stock as noted in the table footnotes.

Unless otherwise indicated below, the address for each beneficial owner listed is in the care of Owlet, Inc., 3300 North Ashton Boulevard, Suite 300, Lehi, Utah 84043.

Policies and Procedures on Transactions with Related Persons

Our Board of Directors recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests (or the perception of such conflicts of interest). Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy on transactions with related persons that is in conformity with the requirements for issuers having publicly held common stock that is listed on the NYSE. Under such policy, a related person transaction, and any material amendment or modification to a related person transaction, will be reviewed and approved or ratified by the Audit Committee or by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

In connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related person transaction:

•
Management will disclose to the Audit Committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, information such as the name of the related person and the basis on which the person is a related person, the material terms of the related person transaction, including the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction and other material facts as to the related person’s direct or indirect interest in, or relationship to, the related person transaction;
•Management will advise the Audit Committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, as to other relevant considerations such as whether the related person transaction conflicts with the terms of our agreements governing our material outstanding indebtedness that limit or restricts our ability to enter into a related person transaction; and
•Related person transactions will be disclosed in our applicable filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and related rules, and, to the extent required.

In addition, the related person transaction policy provides that the Audit Committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, in connection with any approval or ratification of a related person transaction involving a non-employee director or director nominee, should consider whether such transaction would compromise the director or director nominee’s status as an “independent,” or “non-employee” director, as applicable, under the rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE.

A “related person transaction” is, subject to exceptions provided under SEC Regulation S-K, a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which Owlet or its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “related person” means:
•
Any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of our officers or one of our directors;
•Any person who is known by Owlet to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of its voting stock; and
•Any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of a director, officer or a beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of its voting stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, officer or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of its voting stock.

Each of the transactions described below entered into following the adoption of our related person transaction policy was approved in accordance with such policy.

Registration Rights Agreement

On February 15, 2021, Old Owlet entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation ("SBG") and Project Olympus Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), whereby on July 15, 2021 Merger Sub merged with and into Old Owlet, with Old Owlet surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of SBG (the "Merger"). Following the Merger, SBG was renamed Owlet, Inc. In connection with the Closing, SBG changed its name from Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation to Owlet, Inc. ("Owlet"). Following the consummation of the Merger, Owlet became an SEC registrant and its Common Stock and warrants commenced trading on the NYSE under the symbols “OWLT” and “OWLT WS”, respectively. In connection with the closing of the Merger, we and certain shareholders of Old Owlet and SBG entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a shelf registration statement with respect to the registrable securities under the Registration Rights Agreement within 15 business days of the closing of the Merger. Certain Old Owlet shareholders and SBG shareholders may each request to sell all or any portion of their registrable securities in an underwritten offering up to two times in any 12-month period, so long as the total offering price is reasonably expected to exceed $50.0 million. We also agreed to provide “piggyback” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that we will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the shareholders against certain liabilities.

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Merger, we and certain shareholders of Old Owlet entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), which provides for the following terms and other customary terms and conditions:

•
Eclipse Nomination Rights. From the closing of the Merger and until such time as Eclipse beneficially owns less than 10% of the Common Stock: (i) Eclipse will be entitled to nominate one director for election upon sufficient written notice to Owlet; and (ii) if Eclipse makes a nomination, we shall include such director as a nominee for election as a director at the applicable Owlet shareholders meeting and recommend to the Owlet shareholders that such Eclipse director be elected as a director at such Owlet shareholder meeting.

SBG’s sponsor, Sandbridge Acquisition Holdings LLC (the "Sponsor"), officers and directors, or any of its or their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities undertaken on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. SBG’s audit committee reviewed on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, SBG’s officers and directors or any of its or their affiliates and determined which expenses and the amount of expenses that would be reimbursed.During fiscal 2021 and 2022, we reimbursed SBG for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Sponsor, SBG’s directors and officers and/or their respective affiliates in the amount of $12,619 and $0, respectively.

Indemnification under the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Indemnification Agreements

We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide the indemnities with contractual rights to indemnification, and expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, subject to certain exceptions contained in those agreements.

Director Independence

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the applicable New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, a director is not independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that he or she does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries. In addition, the director must meet the bright-line tests for independence set forth by the NYSE rules.

Our Board has undertaken a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that none of Mmes. Durr and McCullough and Messrs. Burke, Kim, Knafel and Susan, representing six of our seven directors, has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors qualifies as “independent” as that term is defined under the NYSE rules. Kenneth Suslow, who served on our Board in 2022 until his resignation effective March 28, 2022, qualified as “independent” under the NYSE rules. In making these determinations, our Board considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the director’s beneficial ownership of our Common Stock and the relationships of our non-employee directors with certain of our significant stockholders.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The formal written charter for our Audit Committee requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all audit services to be provided to us, whether provided by our principal auditor or other firms, and all other services (review, attest and non-audit) to be provided to us by our independent registered public accounting firm, other than de minimis non-audit services approved in accordance with applicable SEC rules.

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy (the “Pre-Approval Policy”) that sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm may be pre-approved. The Pre-Approval Policy generally provides that the Audit Committee will not engage an independent registered public accounting firm to render any audit, audit-related, tax or permissible non-audit service unless the service is either (i) explicitly approved by the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”) or (ii) entered into pursuant to the pre-approval policies and procedures described in the Pre-Approval Policy (“general pre-approval”). Unless a type of service to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm has received general pre-approval under the Pre-Approval Policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee or by a designated member of the Audit Committee to whom the committee has delegated the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any member of the Audit Committee to whom the committee delegates authority to make pre-approval decisions must report any such pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. If circumstances arise where it becomes necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval categories or above the pre-approved amounts, the Audit Committee requires pre-approval for such additional services or such additional amounts. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific

Table of Contents
pre-approval. For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

On an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and generally pre-approves the services (and related fee levels or budgeted amounts) that may be provided by our independent registered accounting firm without first obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

The above-described services provided to us by PwC prior to the closing of the Merger were provided under engagements entered into prior to our adoption of our pre-approval policies and, following the closing of the Merger, in accordance with such policies.
