This information was previously omitted from the Original Report in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the below referenced items to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year end. We are filing this Amendment to provide information required in Part III of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 because a definitive proxy statement containing such information will not be filed by the Company within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Original Report.

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Part III, Items 10 through 14 of the Original Report are hereby amended and restated in their entirety, and Part IV, Items 15 and 16 of the Original Report are hereby amended and restated only with respect to the addition to Item 15 of the new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer filed herewith. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.

This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report, does not modify or update in any way the disclosures contained in the Original Report, and does not modify or update those disclosures that may be affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Report and with our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) subsequent to the Original Report. Capitalized terms that are used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings given to them in the Original Report.

References in this Amendment to the Company’s website are not intended to, and do not, incorporate by reference into this Amendment any materials contained on such website.

In addition, Dr. Wagner’s options are subject to full accelerated vesting if Dr. Wagner’s employment is terminated by Berkshire Grey without “cause” (and other than due to Dr. Wagner’s death or “disability”) (as such terms are defined in the Wagner Employment Agreement) within three months preceding or 12 months following certain liquidity events of Berkshire Grey.

Steven Johnson.    In October 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Johnson, or the “Johnson Employment Agreement,” for the position of President and Chief Operation Officer. The Johnson Employment Agreement provides for Mr. Johnson’s at-will employment. Mr. Johnson’s current annual base salary is $300,000, which is subject to annual review and increase, and he is eligible for an annual bonus with a target amount equal to 50% of his base salary. In addition, pursuant to the Johnson Employment Agreement, Mr. Johnson purchased 1,191,871 restricted Berkshire Grey common shares, or the “Johnson Shares,” with a promissory note and pledge agreement, which note and pledge agreement were satisfied in exchange for vested shares of Berkshire Grey Common Stock prior to the closing of the Business Combination. The Johnson Shares are subject time- and performance-based vesting, such that 50% of the Johnson Shares shall vest over four years, subject to Mr. Johnson’s continued service with Berkshire Grey and the remaining 50% shall vest upon the achievement of certain Berkshire Grey performance conditions. Mr. Johnson was also eligible for reimbursement by Berkshire Grey of up to $10,000 in attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the negotiation of the Johnson Employment Agreement and is also eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans available to Berkshire Grey employees, subject to the terms of those plans. As a condition to the Johnson Employment Agreement, Mr. Johnson is subject to Berkshire Grey’s Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, Non-Disclosure and Intellectual Property Agreement.

Pursuant to the Johnson Employment Agreement, in the event that Mr. Johnson’s employment is terminated by Berkshire Grey without “cause” (and other than due to Mr. Johnson’s death or “disability”) or Mr. Johnson resigns for “good reason” (as each terms are defined in the Johnson Employment Agreement) (such termination a “qualifying termination”), subject to the execution and effectiveness of a general release of claims, he will be entitled to receive (i) twelve months of base salary continuation, (ii) a prorated amount of his annual bonus earned during the year of termination, if Berkshire Grey’s board of directors so determines to pay bonuses for such year, (iii) an amount of annual bonus with respect to the year prior to the year of termination, if Berkshire Grey’s board of directors so determines to pay bonuses for such year, he has not yet received payment of the bonus for such prior year and Mr. Johnson’s employment is terminated after December 31 of such year, (iv) subject to the Mr. Johnson’s timely election to continue COBRA health coverage, continued medical coverage, fully paid by Berkshire Grey under Berkshire Grey’s medical plan until the earlier of (A) twelve months following termination or (B) Mr. Johnson’s eligibility for group medical plan benefits under any other employer’s group medical plan, and (v) the Johnson Shares that (i) would have vested over the six-month period following termination and (ii) are subject to time-based vesting conditions only, shall automatically vest.

Pursuant to the Johnson Employment Agreement, if Mr. Johnson undergoes a qualifying termination during the period beginning three months prior to and ending 6 months following a “change of control” (as defined in the Johnson Employment Agreement), he will be eligible to receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to 12 months of his base salary, (ii) a severance bonus in an amount equal to 100% of his target annual bonus for such year, (iii) an amount of annual bonus with respect to the year prior to the year of termination, if Berkshire Grey’s board of directors so determines to pay bonuses for such year and Mr. Johnson is terminated after December 31 of such year, (iv) subject to Mr. Johnson’s timely election to continue COBRA health coverage, continued medical coverage, fully paid by Berkshire Grey under Berkshire Grey medical plan until the earlier of (A) twelve months following termination or (B) Mr. Johnson’s eligibility for group medical plan benefits under any other employer’s group medical plan, and (v) the automatic vesting acceleration of all equity awards held by him.

In the event of a change of control of Berkshire Grey, which results in Mr. Johnson receiving “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code subject to the applicable excise tax, the Johnson Employment Agreement requires that such payments be reduced to avoid the imposition of such excise tax, but only to the extent such reduction results in a better after-tax position to Mr. Johnson.

Mark Fidler.    In August 2020, we entered into an offer letter with Mr. Fidler, or the “Fidler Offer Letter,” for the position of Chief Financial Officer.

Employee Benefits and Equity Compensation Plans

2013 Stock Option and Purchase Plan

Berkshire Grey 2013 Stock Option and Purchase Plan (the “2013 Plan”) was adopted by Berkshire Grey’s board of directors in October 2013, Berkshire Grey’s stockholders in October 2013 and amended and restated in November 2020. The 2013 Plan allows the administrator of the plan to make equity-based incentive awards to Berkshire Grey’s employees, directors, consultants and advisors.

Authorized Shares.    Berkshire Grey reserved 10,017,823 shares of Berkshire Grey Common Stock for the issuance of awards under the 2013 Plan, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in Berkshire Grey capitalization. The shares issued under the 2013 Plan are either (i) authorized but unissued shares or (ii) treasury shares. The shares of Berkshire Grey Common Stock underlying any awards that are forfeited or reacquired by Berkshire Grey prior to vesting under the 2013 Plan are added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.

Administration.    The 2013 Plan is administered by either Berkshire Grey’s board of directors or a committee as selected by Berkshire Grey’s board of directors, or Administrator. The Administrator has the full power to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards are granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the 2013 Plan among other authority.

Eligibility.    Persons eligible to participate in the 2013 Plan are those employees, directors, consultants and advisors, as selected from time to time by the Administrator in its discretion.

Options.    The 2013 Plan permits the granting of both options to purchase Berkshire Grey Common Stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and options that

8

do not so qualify. The option exercise price of each option is determined by the Administrator but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of Berkshire Grey Common Stock on the date of grant unless the option is granted (i) pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) to individuals who are not subject to U.S. income tax. The term of each option is fixed by the Administrator and may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. The Administrator determines at what time or times each option may be exercised.

Other Awards.    The Administrator may sell shares of common stock or otherwise award other stock-based awards subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment or other service relationship with Berkshire Grey through a specified vesting period.

Corporate Transactions.    The 2013 Plan provides that upon a merger with another entity, sale of all or substantially all of Berkshire Grey’s assets, sale of a majority of the voting power of the stock of Berkshire Grey, then the Administrator may provide for the following: (i) the continuation of all stock options granted under the 2013 Plan (or substitution for equivalent options of the acquiror, as applicable), (ii) upon written notice to the participants of the 2013 Plan, provide that all stock options must be exercised, to the extent exercisable, over the course of a specified period, after which all stock options shall terminate, or (iii) terminate all stock options in exchange for a payment, in either cash or such other form as to be received by the stockholders of Berkshire Grey in such transaction, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares subject to the stock options over such stock options’ exercise price with respect to the stock options then exercisable, including with respect to any stock options made fully exercisable by the Administrator in connection with the transaction.

Amendment.    Berkshire Grey’s board of directors may amend or discontinue the 2013 Plan or any form of award agreement for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, at any time. Certain amendments to the 2013 Plan or to the terms of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights will require the approval of Berkshire Grey stockholders.

No additional awards will be made under the 2013 Plan.

2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

The 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan for Berkshire Grey, Inc. (the “2021 Plan”) was approved at a special meeting of RAAC’s stockholders on July 20, 2021. The 2021 Plan is intended to (i) attract and retain the best available personnel to ensure our success and accomplish our goals; (ii) incentivize employees, directors and independent contractors with long-term equity-based compensation to align their interests with our stockholders, and (iii) promote the success of our business.

Types of Stock Awards.    The 2021 Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), dividend equivalent rights and cash-based awards (all such types of awards, collectively, “stock awards”).

Share Reserve.    The Company initially reserved 19,887,747 shares of Class A Common Stock for the issuance of awards under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the plan will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2022, by the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such lower number of shares, as determined by the 2021 Plan administrator in its discretion (the “Annual Increase”). This limit is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in the capitalization of the Company. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has reserved 31,159,156 shares of Class A Common Stock for the issuance of awards under the 2021 Plan.

9

Lapsed Awards.    The shares underlying any awards under the 2021 Plan and the 2013 Plan that are forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the shares of stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan and, to the extent permissible, the shares of stock that may be issued as incentive stock options. Nonetheless, the following shares shall not be added to the shares authorized for grant under the 2021 Plan: (i) shares tendered or held back upon exercise of a stock option or settlement of a stock award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, and (ii) shares subject to a SAR that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR upon exercise thereof. If Berkshire Grey repurchases shares of stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. The shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of stock or shares of stock reacquired by Berkshire Grey.

Eligibility.    Employees, directors and independent contractors of us or our affiliates are all eligible to participate in the 2021 Plan. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees. As of the date of this prospectus, we have approximately 274 employees and six directors who are eligible to be granted awards under the 2021 Plan.

Administration.    The 2021 Plan will be administered by our board of directors, the compensation committee or a similar committee performing the functions of the compensation committee, which committee will be constituted to satisfy applicable laws (the “Plan Administrator”). The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, delegate to a committee consisting of one or more officers of the Company, including the chief executive officer, all or part of the Plan Administrator’s authority and duties with respect to granting stock awards to individuals who are (i) not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act and (ii) not members of the delegated committee. Such delegation of authority shall include a limitation as to the amount of shares of stock underlying stock awards that may be granted during the period of such delegation and shall additionally contain guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price and vesting criteria, as applicable.

Subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan, the Plan Administrator has the authority, in its discretion, to (i) determine the time or times to grant stock awards under the 2021 Plan; (ii) select the service providers to whom stock awards may be granted under the 2021 Plan; (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by each stock award granted under the 2021 Plan; (iv) approve forms of stock award agreements for use under the 2021 Plan; (v) determine and modify, from time to time, the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the 2021 Plan, of any stock award granted thereunder; (vi) institute and determine the terms and conditions of an exchange program under the terms of the 2021 Plan (subject to stockholder approval); (vii) construe and interpret the terms of the 2021 Plan and stock awards granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan; (viii) decide all disputes arising in connection with the 2021 Plan; (ix) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2021 Plan; (x) modify or amend each stock award (subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan); (xi) supervise the administration of the 2021 Plan; (xii) allow participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations in such manner as prescribed in the 2021 Plan; (xiii) extend at any time the period in which stock options may be exercised (subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan); (xiv) accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any stock award; and (xv) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the 2021 Plan.

Stock Options.    Each stock option will be designated in the stock award agreement as either an incentive stock option (which is entitled to potentially favorable tax treatment) or a nonstatutory stock option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by the participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such stock options will be treated as nonstatutory stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees.

The term of each stock option will be stated in the stock award agreement. In the case of an incentive stock option, the term will be 10 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the stock award agreement. Moreover, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns stock

10

representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock or the stock of any of our affiliates, the term of the incentive stock option will be 5 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the stock award agreement.

The per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of a stock option will be determined by the Plan Administrator, subject to the following: in the case of an incentive stock option (i) granted to an employee who, at the time the incentive stock option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our stock or the stock of any of our affiliates, the per share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant; and (ii) granted to any other employee, the per share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. In the case of a nonstatutory stock option, the per share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stock options may be granted with a per share exercise price of less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant (i) if such stock option is otherwise compliant with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) if the option recipient is not subject to U.S. income tax on the date of grant or (iii) pursuant to a corporate reorganization, liquidation, etc., described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

At the time a stock option is granted, the Plan Administrator will fix the period within which the stock option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the stock option may be exercised. The Plan Administrator will also determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising a stock option, including the method of payment. In the case of an incentive stock option, the Plan Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant.

If a participant ceases to be a service provider other than for “Cause” (as defined in the stock award agreement), the participant may exercise his or her stock option within such period of time as is specified in the stock award agreement to the extent that the stock option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such stock option). In the absence of a specified time in the stock award agreement, to the extent vested as of a participant’s termination, the stock option will remain exercisable for 12 months following a termination for death or disability (as determined by the Plan Administrator), and three months following a termination for any other reason. Any outstanding stock option (including any vested portion thereof) held by a participant will immediately terminate in its entirety upon the participant being first notified of his or her termination for Cause and the participant will be prohibited from exercising his or her stock option from and after the date of such termination.

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs).    The Plan Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each SAR, provided that the exercise price for each SAR will be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares of Berkshire Grey Class A common stock on the date of grant. Upon exercise of a SAR, a participant will receive payment from us in an amount determined by multiplying the difference between the fair market value of a share on the date of exercise over the exercise price by the number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. SARs are exercisable at the times and on the terms established by the Plan Administrator.

Restricted Stock and RSUs.    Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of Berkshire Grey Class A common stock that are subject to various restrictions, including restrictions on transferability and forfeiture provisions. Shares of restricted stock will vest and the restrictions on such shares will lapse in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Plan Administrator. Each RSU is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of Berkshire Grey Class A common stock. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the participant will be entitled to receive a payout for his or her earned RSUs as determined by the Plan Administrator in the form of cash or shares. In determining whether restricted stock or RSUs should be granted, and/or the vesting schedule for such a stock award, the Plan Administrator may impose whatever conditions on vesting as it determines to be appropriate. During the period of restriction, participants holding restricted stock may exercise full voting rights with respect to such shares, provided, however, that the

11

participant shall not receive any dividends otherwise payable with respect to such restricted stock during the period of restriction if such restrictions relate to the attainment of performance goals, which such dividends shall accrue and become payable upon the attainment of such performance goals. During the vesting period, participants holding RSUs will hold no voting rights by virtue of such RSUs. The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of RSUs that may be settled in cash, in shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

Unrestricted Stock Awards.    An unrestricted stock award is an award of shares to an eligible person without a purchase price that is not subject to any restrictions. The Plan Administrator will determine the number of shares to be awarded to the participant under an unrestricted stock award.

Outside Director Limitations.    Stock awards granted during a single calendar year under the 2021 Plan or otherwise, taken together with any cash compensation paid during such calendar year will not exceed $750,000 in total value for any non-employee director (calculating the value of any such stock awards based on the grant date fair value of such stock awards for financial reporting purposes), provided, however that such limit shall be $1,000,000 in any non-employee director’s first year of service as a non-employee director.

Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations.    A participant will not cease to be an employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the participant’s employer if the employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed by a statute, contract or by the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted, or if the Plan Administrator otherwise so provides in writing or (ii) transfers between us and any of our affiliates.

Nontransferability of Stock Awards.    Unless determined otherwise by the Plan Administrator, a stock award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the participant, only by the participant. If the Plan Administrator makes a nonstatutory stock option transferable, such stock option will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate provided, however, that in no event may any stock award be transferred for consideration.

Clawback/Recovery.    Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under the 2021 Plan, a stock award granted under the 2021 Plan will be subject to any clawback policy as may be established and/or amended from time to time by us.

Adjustment.    In the event of reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in our capital stock, the outstanding shares of stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other of our securities, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of ours or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Berkshire Grey, the outstanding shares of stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of Berkshire Grey or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Plan Administrator, in order to prevent dilution, diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2021 Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number, kind and class of securities that may be delivered under the 2021 Plan, the number, class, kind and price of securities covered by each outstanding stock award and/or the repurchase or exercise prices (as applicable) of such stock awards; provided that all such adjustments will be made in a manner that does not result in taxation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

Corporate Transaction.    In the event of (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of our assets on a consolidated bases to an unrelated person or entity, (ii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation pursuant to which the holders of the our outstanding voting power and outstanding stock immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power and outstanding stock or other equity interests of the resulting or successor entity (or its ultimate parent, if applicable) immediately upon completion of such

12

transaction, (iii) the sale of all of our shares of stock to an unrelated person, entity or group thereof acting in concert, or (iv) any other transaction in which the owners of Berkshire Grey’s outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of Berkshire Grey or any successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction other than as a result of the acquisition of securities directly from us, each outstanding stock award (vested or unvested) may be assumed, continued or substituted with stock awards of the successor entity, with an appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, as applicable, the per share exercise prices, as agreed to by the parties. If such assumption, continuation or substitution does not occur, the 2021 Plan and all stock awards shall terminate and upon such termination, except as otherwise provided in an applicable stock award agreement, all stock awards with time-based vesting conditions shall become fully vested, nonforfeitable and, if applicable, exercisable, as of the effective time of such corporate transaction. In addition, all stock awards with performance-based vesting restrictions may become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with such corporate transaction in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, or as otherwise provided in the applicable stock award agreement. In the event of such termination of the 2021 Plan, Berkshire Grey may provide for (i) the cancellation of such stock options and SARs in exchange for a payment to the participants equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value of the shares subject to such stock options and SARs as of the closing date of such corporate transaction over (2) the exercise price or purchase price paid or to be paid for the shares subject to the stock options or SARs; provided, that, if the exercise price or purchase price for such stock awards equals or exceeds the fair market value of the shares subject to such stock awards, then the stock awards may be terminated without payment or (ii) the opportunity for participants to exercise their stock options or SARs prior to the occurrence of the corporate transaction of any stock options or SARS not exercised prior thereto. In addition, Berkshire Grey may, in its own discretion, make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the holders of other stock awards (other than stock options or SARs) in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares subject to such stock awards multiplied by the number of vested shares of stock underlying such stock awards.

Amendment, Termination and Duration of the 2021 Plan.    The 2021 Plan will continue in effect for a term of 10 years measured from July 21, 2021, the date of the closing of the Business Combination, unless terminated earlier under the terms of the 2021 Plan. The Plan Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2021 Plan.

Employee Benefit Plans

Berkshire Grey’s named executive officers are eligible to participate in Berkshire Grey’s employee benefit plans, including Berkshire Grey’s medical, dental, vision, group life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans, in each case, on the same basis as all of Berkshire Grey’s other employees. Berkshire Grey also maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its eligible employees, including the named executive officers, as discussed in the section “ 401(k) plan.”

401(k) Plan

Berkshire Grey maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan, or the 401(k) Plan, that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees may defer eligible compensation subject to applicable annual contribution limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Berkshire Grey’s employees’ pre-tax contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and participants are immediately and fully vested in their contributions. The 401(k) Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code with the 401(k) Plan’s related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Berkshire Grey makes matching contributions to eligible participants equal to the first 4% of the participants’ contributions.

Our board of directors has adopted a director compensation program that entitles our non-employee directors to a cash retainer for service on the board of directors and for service on each committee on which the director is a member. These fees are payable in arrears in four equal quarterly installments on the last day of each quarter, provided that the amount of such payment will be prorated for any portion of such quarter that the director is not serving on our board of directors. The fees payable to non-employee directors for service on the board of directors and for service on each committee of the board of directors on which the director is a member was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2022:

In addition, our director compensation program entitled each director to an annual grant of restricted stock units. The annual grant had a grant date fair value equal to $165,000 and will vest one year from the grant date.

We also plan to continue to reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of our board of directors and any committee of our board of directors on which he or she serves.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Related Person Transactions

Customer Contracts with Affiliates of SoftBank

In June 2019, Legacy Berkshire Grey entered into two customer contracts with SoftBank Robotics Corp., a subsidiary of Softbank Robotics Group Corp., which in turn is a subsidiary of SoftBank Group Corp. (“SBG”) and an affiliate of SVF II BG (DE), LLC (“SB SVF II”). SBG held the warrant to purchase the Series B-3 preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Legacy Berkshire Grey (the “B-3 Warrant”), and SB SVF II holds more than 5% of Legacy Berkshire Grey’s outstanding stock. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Legacy Berkshire Grey recognized approximately $0.7 million and $5.1 million in revenue related to these customer contracts, respectively.

Series B-2 Preferred Stock Financing and Warrants to Purchase Series B-3 Preferred Stock

In June and October of 2019, Legacy Berkshire Grey sold an aggregate of 9,788,160 shares of Legacy Berkshire Grey Series B-2 Preferred Stock and the B-3 Warrant to SBG at a purchase price of $17.8328 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $174.6 million. Of the $174.6 million in proceeds raised, approximately $4.1 million was allocated to the B-3 Warrant, which provided, subject to certain vesting conditions, a right to purchase up to 1,903,647 shares of Legacy Berkshire Grey Series B-3 Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $11.5913 per share, which was issued to SBG in connection with the Legacy Berkshire Grey Series B-2 Preferred Stock financing. In October of 2019, SBG also purchased 1,370,620 shares of Legacy Berkshire Grey Common Stock at a purchase price of $16.0495 per share pursuant to a tender offer. On March 31, 2021, SBG transferred its 1,370,620 shares of Berkshire Grey Common Stock and 9,788,160 shares of Berkshire Grey Series B-2 Preferred Stock to SB SVF II.

Sponsor Support Agreement

On February 23, 2021, in connection with and concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, RAAC and Legacy Berkshire Grey entered into an amended and restated letter agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) with each of the Sponsor, RAAC’s officers and directors and holders of RAAC’s Class B common stock and Class C common stock, which amended and restated the prior letter agreement between such parties (other than Legacy Berkshire Grey), dated December 7, 2020. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, among other things, the parties thereto agreed to (i) vote all of the shares of RAAC common stock beneficially owned or held by such parties in favor of the Business Combination and certain related matters, (ii) vote all of the shares of RAAC common stock beneficially owned or held by such parties against certain other actions, including (A) any action reasonably expected to impede or result in the breach of any provision of the Merger Agreement and (B) any business combination or change in capitalization other than with respect to the Business Combination, (iii) waive anti-dilution rights provided in the RAAC charter with respect to their founder shares and alignment shares and waive their right to convert working capital loans to RAAC into warrants and (iv) not redeem or tender any of their shares of RAAC common stock in connection with any such vote as described in clauses (i) or (ii) or in connection with any vote to amend the RAAC charter.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Closing, on July 21, 2021, we entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”) with RAAC Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and certain other investors party thereto (collectively, with each other person who has executed and delivered a joinder thereto, the “RRA Parties”), including certain former holders of Legacy Berkshire Grey securities (the “BG RRA Parties”), pursuant to which the RRA Parties are entitled to registration rights in respect of certain shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and certain other of our equity securities that are held by the RRA Parties from time to time. This includes the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the shares of Class C common stock,

16

par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class C Common Stock”). Such shares of Class C Common Stock are convertible to shares of Class A Common Stock upon the earlier of (i) meeting certain stock price performance thresholds, and (ii) the date on which we complete a merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in both a change of control and all of the public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, in each case, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. Please see “Description of Our Securities—Common Stock—Conversion Rights” for more information. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement provides that we will, (i) within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, submit to or file with the SEC (at our sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of certain shares of the Class A Common Stock and certain other of our equity securities held by the RRA Parties (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and (ii) use our reasonable best efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (x) the 90th calendar day following the filing date if the SEC notifies us that it will “review” the Resale Registration Statement and (y) the 10th business day after the date we are notified by the SEC that the Resale Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

The A&R Registration Rights Agreement grants each of the RRA Parties and their respective permitted transferees certain demand registration rights in connection with an underwritten shelf takedown offering, in each case subject to certain offering thresholds, issuer suspension periods and certain other conditions. In addition, the A&R Registration Rights Agreement grants the RRA Parties “piggyback” registration rights, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks, issuer suspension periods and certain other conditions.

These registration rights are subject to certain customary limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of securities to be included in an underwritten offering and our right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement includes customary indemnification provisions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements filed pursuant to the terms of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, including the fees of legal counsel selected by the majority-in-interest of RRA Parties initiating a demand registration right (not to exceed $75,000 without our consent). The A&R Registration Rights Agreement also provides for a lock-up on registrable securities held by the BG RRA Parties so that such BG RRA Parties may not transfer such shares, except to certain permitted transferees, for 180 days following the Closing.

The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) July 21, 2031 or (ii) with respect to any party thereto, on the date that such party no longer holds any registrable securities.

Indemnification Agreement

On July 21, 2021, we entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Each indemnification agreement provides for indemnification and advancements by Berkshire Grey of certain expenses and costs relating to claims, suits or proceedings arising from his or her service to Berkshire Grey or, at our request, service to other entities, as officers or directors to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Procedures with Respect to Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions

Our board of directors recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests (or the perception thereof). 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 Nasdaq. Under the policy, our legal department will be primarily responsible for developing and implementing processes and procedures to obtain information regarding related persons with respect to potential related person transactions and then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether such potential related person transactions do, in fact, constitute related person transactions requiring

17

compliance with the policy. If the legal department determines that a transaction or relationship is a related person transaction requiring compliance with the policy, our general counsel will be required to present to the audit committee of our board of directors all relevant facts and circumstances relating to the related person transaction. Our audit committee will be required to review the relevant facts and circumstances of each related person transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, take into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of our code of business conduct and ethics, and either approve or disapprove the related person transaction. If advance audit committee approval of a related person transaction requiring the audit committee’s approval is not feasible, then the transaction may be preliminarily entered into by management upon prior approval of the transaction by the chair of the audit committee, subject to ratification of the transaction by the audit committee at the audit committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, that if ratification is not forthcoming, management will make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul the transaction. If a transaction was not initially recognized as a related person transaction, then, upon such recognition, the transaction will be presented to the audit committee for ratification at the audit committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, that if ratification is not forthcoming, management will make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul the transaction. Our management will update the audit committee as to any material changes to any approved or ratified related person transaction and will provide a status report at least annually of all then current related person transactions. No director will be permitted to participate in approval of a related person transaction for which he or she is a related person.

18

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has adopted independence standards that mirror the criteria specified by applicable laws and regulations of the SEC and the Listing Rules of Nasdaq.

Our Board of Directors has determined that all members of the board of directors, except Thomas Wagner and John K. Delaney, are independent directors, including for purposes of the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. In making such independence determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances that our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director. In considering the independence of the directors listed above, our board of directors considered the association of our directors with the holders of more than 5% of our common stock. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers. Mr. Wagner is not an independent director under these rules because he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. Delaney is not an independent director under these rules because he was the Chief Executive Officer of RAAC prior to the Business Combination.

Policy on Audit Committee pre-approval of audit and permissible non-audit services of independent auditor

Our audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. This policy provides that we will not engage our independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services unless the service is specifically approved in advance by our audit committee or the engagement is entered into pursuant to the pre-approval procedure described below.

From time to time, our audit committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to us by our independent registered public accounting firm during the subsequent 12 months.
