On July 30, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of OTR Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), increased the size of the Board from five members to six members and appointed Mr. Amir Rozwadoski to fill the resulting vacancy. Mr. Rozwadowski was designated a Class I member of the Board and will serve until the expiration of his term on the date of the Company’s first annual meeting of the stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified, subject to his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Mr. Rozwadowski has been appointed to serve on the Board’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.
Mr. Rozwadowski has served as the Senior Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations for AT&T since June 2020, in which role he is responsible for designing and leading the company’s investor relations strategy across the portfolio of AT&T’s operations. Prior to this position, Mr. Rozwadowski worked as a Partner at Softbank Investment Advisors and Softbank Group Corp. from January 2019 to June 2020. Previously, he also served as a Managing Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst at Barclays from 2009 to 2018. Mr. Rozwadowski presently serves on the Board of Directors of Virtual Health Partners, a position he has held since December 2020. Mr. Rozwadowski graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2000 with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and International Relations.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Rozwadowski and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Rozwadowski was appointed as a director of the Company. The Board has determined that Mr. Rozwadowski is independent under the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Stock Market. Mr. Rozwadowski is a member of the Company’s sponsor, OTR Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “sponsor”), but does not have voting or dispositive control over securities held by the sponsor.

Mr. Rozwadowski will not be compensated by the Company for his services as a director and has not entered into an employment agreement with the Company. In connection with this appointment, Mr. Rozwadowski entered into an indemnity agreement and a joinder to the letter agreement with the Company on the same terms as the indemnity agreements and letter agreements entered into by the directors and officers of the Company at the time of the Company’s initial public offering.
