We assessed EY’s performance as independent auditor during ~~2021,~~2022, including the performance of the lead audit partner and the audit team, a process we will undertake on an annual basis. We reviewed a variety of indicators of audit quality relating to EY, including:

As a result of our evaluation of the independent auditor’s performance and considering other factors we deemed relevant, we concluded that the selection of EY as the Company’s independent auditor for the year ending December 31, ~~2022~~2023 is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above related to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, including the report of the independent auditor, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

Respectfully submitted by the members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors:

This Audit Committee report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A promulgated by the SEC or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing by Sarcos under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent Sarcos specifically requests that the information be treated as “soliciting material” or specifically incorporates it by reference.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

APPROVAL OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND REDUCE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Overview

On April 14, 2023, the Board of Directors approved and adopted resolutions (1) approving and finding advisable a series of proposed amendments to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock issued and outstanding or held in treasury (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and a corresponding reduction in the total number of authorized shares of our common stock (the "Authorized Share Reduction") and (2) directing that a proposal (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”) to approve the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction be submitted to our stockholders for their approval.

If approved by our stockholders, the proposal would permit, but would not require, the Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock issued and outstanding or held in treasury by a ratio of either 1 for 3, 1 for 4, 1 for 5 or 1 for 6, with the final ratio to be set as determined by the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) in its sole discretion in the manner described herein. At the same time, the total number of authorized shares of our common stock would be reduced from 990,000,000 to 330,000,000, 247,500,000, 198,000,000 or 165,000,000, and our total number of authorized shares would be reduced from 1,000,000,000 to 340,000,000, 257,500,000, 208,000,000 or 175,000,000, respectively, based on the final Reverse Stock Split ratio set by the Board of Directors in the manner described herein. The par value per share of our common stock would remain unchanged at $0.0001. The Reverse Stock Split would also affect outstanding options, outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and shares reserved for issuance under our equity compensation plans, as described in “—Effect on Equity Compensation Plans, Outstanding Options and RSUs” below. The Reverse Stock Split would affect all shares of common stock uniformly. The following description of the proposed amendment is a summary and is subject to the full text of the proposed Certificate of Amendment to our Restated Certificate, a form of which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A (the “Certificate of Amendment”).

If stockholders approve this proposal, the Board of Directors in its discretion could determine to cause one Certificate of Amendment to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and effect the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction. The Board of Directors also may determine in its discretion not to effect the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction and not to file any Certificate of Amendment. We could decide not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction even if the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by stockholders. No further action on the part of stockholders will be required to either implement or abandon the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

Meet Certain Continued Listing Requirements of Nasdaq.

To continue our listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, we must comply with Nasdaq rules. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. On January 23, 2023, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department Nasdaq notifying us that because the closing bid price for our common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we did not meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive


		2022 PROXY STATEMENT \| 36

PROPOSAL NO. 3

business days by July 22, 2023, and we must otherwise satisfy The Nasdaq Global Market’s requirements for listing.

If we do not regain compliance by July 22, 2023, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period if we elect (and meet the listing standards) to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market, unless it does not appear to Nasdaq that it is possible for us to cure the deficiency. To qualify, we would be required, among other things, to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares as well as all other standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and would need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. If it does not appear to Nasdaq that it is possible for us to cure the deficiency, or if we do not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting. We would then be entitled to appeal Nasdaq’s determination, but there can be no assurance that such appeal would be successful.

Our Board of Directors has considered the potential harm to our Company and our stockholders should Nasdaq delist our common stock. Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock since alternatives, such as the OTC Bulletin Board and the pink sheets, are generally considered to be less efficient markets. An investor likely would find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our common stock on an over-the-counter market. Many investors likely would not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or for other reasons. The Board of Directors believes that the Reverse Stock Split is a potentially effective means for us to increase the per share market price of our common stock and to avoid, or at least mitigate, the likely adverse consequences of our common stock being delisted from Nasdaq by producing the immediate effect of increasing the bid price of our common stock.

To Potentially Improve the Marketability and Liquidity of our Common Stock.

Our Board of Directors believes that the increased market price of our common stock expected as a result of implementing the Reverse Stock Split could improve the marketability and liquidity of our common stock and encourage interest and trading in our common stock.

Appeal to a Broader Range of Investors to Generate Greater Investor Interest in the Company.

We believe that the Reverse Stock Split and an increase in our stock price may make our common stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors. Many brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers, which reduces the number of potential purchasers of our common stock. In addition, some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically less attractive to brokers. Investors may also be dissuaded from purchasing lower-priced stocks because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction, tend to be higher for such stocks. Moreover, we believe the analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower-priced stocks. Further, lower-priced stocks have a perception in the investment community as being riskier and more speculative, which may negatively impact not only the price of our common stock, but also our market liquidity.

Reasons for the Reduction in the Authorized Number of Shares of Common Stock

As a matter of Delaware law, implementation of the Reverse Stock Split does not require a change in the total number of shares of our common stock authorized under the Restated Certificate. However, the proposed reduction in the total number of authorized shares of our common stock is designed to maintain approximately the same proportion of the total number of authorized shares of common stock that are not issued or outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split. The proposed reduction from 990,000,000 to 330,000,000, 247,500,000, 198,000,000 or 165,000,000 authorized shares of our common stock and from 1,000,000,000 to 340,000,000, 257,500,000, 208,000,000 or 175,000,000


		2022 PROXY STATEMENT \| 37

PROPOSAL NO. 3

authorized shares of all stock, is intended to satisfy the voting policies of certain of our stockholders, conform to the requirements of certain entities that make recommendations to stockholders regarding proposals submitted by us and to ensure that we do not have what some stockholders might view as an unreasonably high number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, the reduction in the number of authorized shares of our stock may also reduce certain of our costs.

Certain Risks Associated with a Reverse Stock Split

There are certain risks associated with a reverse stock split, and we cannot accurately predict or assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will produce or maintain the desired results. However, our Board of Directors believes that the benefits to us and our stockholders outweigh the risks and recommends that you vote in favor of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.

We cannot assure you that the proposed Reverse Stock Split, if effected, will increase our stock price. There can be no assurance that the total market capitalization of our common stock (the aggregate value of all of our outstanding common stock at the then market price) after the Reverse Stock Split will be equal to or greater than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split, or that the per share market price of our common stock following the Reverse Stock Split will either equal or exceed the current per share market price.

The closing sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq was $0.63 per share on January 23, 2023 and was $0.48 per share on April 13, 2023. We expect that the Reverse Stock Split, if effected, will increase the per share trading price of our common stock. However, we cannot assure you that the market price per share of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split will rise or remain constant in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split. The effect of the Reverse Stock Split on the per share trading price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of reverse stock splits for other companies is varied, particularly since some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively. In many cases, the market price of a company’s shares declines after a reverse stock split, or the market price of a company’s shares immediately after a reverse stock split does not reflect a proportionate or mathematical adjustment to the market price based on the ratio of such reverse stock split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock and the Company after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split, and it is possible that the Reverse Stock Split may not result in a per share trading price that would attract investors who do not trade in lower priced stocks.

Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock through the Reverse Stock Split, if we decide to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share trading price of our common stock. However, even if we implement the Reverse Stock Split, the per share trading price of our common stock may decrease due to factors unrelated to the Reverse Stock Split. Other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business, may adversely affect the per share trading price of our common stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the benefits that we anticipate, that the per share trading price of our common stock will increase following the Reverse Stock Split or that the per share trading price of our common stock will not decrease in the future. Although no assurances are possible concerning the trading price of our common stock if the Reverse Stock Split is effected or concerning future fluctuations in the market price of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split, based on such price, our intention in determining the reverse stock split ratio to be reflected in the Reverse Stock Split is that such ratio will result in an increase in the per share market price of our common stock immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, although whether the price of our common stock is sufficient or is maintained for a sufficient period of time depends in part on the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split and future fluctuations in the price of our common stock.

The proposed Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our Common Stock and result in higher transaction costs.

The liquidity of our common stock may be negatively impacted by the Reverse Stock Split, given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the per share trading price does not increase proportionately as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In


		2022 PROXY STATEMENT \| 38

PROPOSAL NO. 3

addition, if the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, it will likely increase the number of our stockholders who own “odd lots” of fewer than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage commission and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions of more than 100 shares of common stock. In addition, although we believe the Reverse Stock Split may enhance the marketability of our common stock to certain potential investors, we cannot assure you that, if implemented, our common stock will be more attractive to investors. While our Board of Directors believes that a higher stock price may help generate the interest of new investors, the Reverse Stock Split may not result in a per-share price that will attract certain types of investors, such as institutional investors or investment funds, and such share price may not satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and could be adversely affected by a higher per share price. Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the desired results of increasing marketability of our common stock as described above.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction

If approved and implemented, the Reverse Stock Split will be realized simultaneously and in the same ratio for all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be paid out in cash. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all shares of common stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company (subject to the treatment of fractional shares). In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder’s proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares).

Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 990,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split (the "Effective Time"), the total number of authorized shares of our common stock will be reduced from 990,000,000 to 330,000,000, 247,500,000, 198,000,000 or 165,000,000 and the total number of authorized shares will be reduced from 1,000,000,000 to 340,000,000, 257,500,000, 208,000,000 or 175,000,000, based on which, if any, of the approved reverse stock split ratios is ultimately selected by the Board of Directors. The par value per share of our common stock would remain unchanged at $0.0001 after the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Reduction. The total number of authorized shares of preferred stock will not be reduced and would remain at 10,000,000 shares.

(2)

Includes shares issuable upon exercise of awards under our 2021 Plan, 2015 Plan, RE2 Plans and ESPP (the “Plans”).

Effect on Equity Compensation Plans, Outstanding Options and RSUs

As shown in the table above, if the Reverse Stock Split is approved and effected, the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plans would be reduced in proportion to the ratio selected by our Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2023, there were a total of (1) 32,872,952 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options and the settlement of RSUs outstanding under the 2021 Plan, 2015 Plan and RE2 Plans, (2) 9,703,197 shares remained available for future awards under our 2021 Plan, and (3) 3,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP. Following the Reverse Stock Split, if any, all shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options and the settlement of RSUs outstanding under the 2021 Plan and the 2015 Plan, shares remaining available for future awards under our 2021 Plan and shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP would be converted at the Effective Time into one-third, one-fourth, one-fifth or one-sixth of the number of such shares immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split (subject to adjustment for fractional interests).

Under the terms of our outstanding options and RSUs, the Reverse Stock Split would adjust and proportionately reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or settlement, as applicable, of such options and RSUs in the same ratio of the Reverse Stock Split and, correspondingly, would proportionately increase the exercise price of such options. This will result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid as immediately preceding the Revesre Stock Split. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or settlement of outstanding options and RSUs and the exercise or purchase price related thereto, as applicable, would be equitably adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Plans, which may include rounding the number of shares of common stock issuable to the nearest whole share.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

Accounting Matters

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of a share of our common stock. As a result, as of the Effective Time, the stated capital attributable to common stock on our balance sheet will be reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio (including a retroactive adjustment of prior periods), and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding.

Mechanics of the Reverse Stock Split

Effect on Beneficial Holders (i.e., Stockholders Who Hold in “Street Name”)

Upon the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat common stock held by stockholders in “street name,” through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their customers holding common stock in “street name.” However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. If you hold shares of common stock with a bank, broker or other nominee and have any questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your bank, broker or other nominee.

Effect on Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock

Stockholders may hold some or all of their common stock electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. These stockholders will not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares of common stock registered in their accounts. If you hold registered common stock in book-entry form, you do not need to take any action to receive your post-split shares, if applicable. If a stockholder is entitled to post-reverse stock split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to the stockholder’s address of record indicating the number of shares of common stock held following the Reverse Stock Split.

Effect on Holders of Stock Certificates

Stockholders may hold stock certificates representing some or all of their common stock. As of the Effective Time, each certificate representing pre-split shares of common stock will, until surrendered and exchanged, be deemed to represent only the relevant number of post-split shares of common stock as a result and at the time of the Reverse Stock Split. If applicable to you, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, will mail you a letter of transmittal. Upon receipt of your properly completed and executed letter of transmittal and your stock certificate(s), you will be issued the appropriate number of shares of the Company’s common stock either as stock certificates (including legends, if appropriate) or electronically in book-entry form, as determined by the Company.

Fractional Shares

We will not issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any fractional share that would otherwise result from the Reverse Stock Split because the stockholder owns a number of shares not evenly divisible by the ratio would instead settle in cash. The cash amount to be paid to each stockholder would be equal to the resulting fractional interest in one share of our common stock to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by the closing trading price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split), without interest. We do not anticipate that the aggregate cash amount paid by the Company for fractional interests will be material to the Company.

Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split


		2022 PROXY STATEMENT \| 41

PROPOSAL NO. 3

The Effective Time, if approved by stockholders and implemented by us, will be the date and time set forth in the applicable Certificate of Incorporation that is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved and the Board of Directors determines to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, the exact timing of the filing of the applicable Certificate of Amendment will be determined by our Board of Directors. By approving the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, the stockholders will approve each of the four (4) amendments proposed by the Board of Directors. The Certificate of Amendment filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware will include only that amendment determined by the Board of Directors to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The other three (3) proposed amendments will be abandoned pursuant to Section 242(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

If, at any time prior to the filing of any Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, notwithstanding stockholder approval, and without further action by the stockholders, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders to delay the filing of the Certificate of Amendment or abandon the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal may be delayed or abandoned. We reserve the right to abandon any three (3) proposed amendments or the Reverse Stock Split Proposal in its entirety without further action by our stockholders at any time before the effectiveness of the filing with the Secretary of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Amendment, even if the authority to effect the Reverse Stock Split Proposal has been approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. By voting in favor of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, you are expressly also authorizing the Board of Directors to delay, not to proceed with, and abandon, any three (3) porposed amendments or the Reverse Stock Split Proposal in its entirety if it should so decide, in its sole discretion.

If a Reverse Stock Split is effected, then after the Effective Time, our common stock will have a new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (“CUSIP”) number, which is a number used to identify our equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP number will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP number by following the procedures described below. After the Reverse Stock Split, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We currently expect that our common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “STRC” subject to any future change of listing of our securities, although it will be considered a new listing with a new CUSIP number. The Reverse Stock Split is not intended to be, and we do not believe that it will have the effect of, a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act.

No Appraisal Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders are not entitled to dissenter’s or appraisal rights with respect to the Reverse Stock Split, and we will not independently provide stockholders with any such rights.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Reverse Stock Split

The following discussion is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to stockholders but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects that may be relevant to stockholders. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local, or foreign tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) in effect as of the date of this proxy statement. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of our Common Stock. We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the IRS or an opinion of tax counsel with respect to the matters discussed herein. The discussion below regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split is not binding on the IRS or the courts. Accordingly, each stockholder is urged to consult with his, her or its own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

This summary is limited to U.S. stockholders who hold shares of our Common Stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split (“Old Shares”) and the shares of our Common Stock immediately after the Reverse

Stock Split (“New Shares”) as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to the particular circumstances of a stockholder. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to stockholders that are subject to particular rules, including:

•

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax or Medicare contribution tax on net investment income;

•

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•

persons holding our Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle, or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

•

persons who are former U.S. citizens or long-term residents;

•

persons who are not U.S. Holders;

•

banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions;

•

mutual funds, real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

•

brokers, dealers, or traders in securities;

•

partnerships, other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and other pass-through entities (and investors therein);

•

tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

•

persons deemed to sell our Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

•

persons who hold or receive our Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock options or otherwise as compensation;

•

persons who are subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code;

•

persons who hold our Common Stock as “qualified small business stock” pursuant to Section 1202 of the Code; and

•

tax-qualified retirement plans.

This discussion is limited to stockholders that are U.S. Holders. For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•

a trust if either a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust, or the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our Common Stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

In addition, the following discussion does not address the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split under state, local and foreign tax laws. Furthermore, the following discussion does not address any tax consequences of transactions effectuated before, after or at the same time as the Reverse Stock Split, whether or not they are in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to U.S. Stockholders

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to constitute a “recapitalization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If so treated, in general, and except as described below with respect to cash in lieu of fractional shares, no gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. stockholder upon such stockholder’s exchange, or deemed exchange, of Old Shares for New Shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the aggregate tax basis of the New Shares received in the Reverse Stock Split should be the same as such stockholder's aggregate tax basis in the Old Shares being exchanged (excluding the portion of the tax basis allocable to any fractional share), and the holding period for the New Shares received should include the holding period for the Old Shares being exchanged. Special tax basis and holding period rules may apply to holders that acquired different blocks of stock at different prices or at different times. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of these special rules to their particular circumstances.

Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares

A U.S. stockholder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of New Shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will be treated as having received the fractional share pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split and then as having sold such fractional share for cash. Such a U.S. stockholder should generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the U.S. stockholder’s tax basis in the Old Shares being exchanged that is allocated to the fractional share of New Shares. The capital gain or loss should be long term capital gain or loss if the U.S. stockholder’s holding period for such Old Shares being exchanged that is allocated to the fractional share of New Shares exceeded one year at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split. The deductibility of net capital losses by individuals and corporations is subject to limitations. U.S. stockholders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of their receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information returns generally will be required to be filed with the IRS with respect to the payment of cash in lieu of a fractional share of New Shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, unless a U.S. stockholder is an exempt recipient. In addition, U.S. stockholders may be subject to a backup withholding tax (at the current applicable rate of 24%) on the payment of such cash if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers and complete an IRS Form W-9 in the manner required or otherwise fail to comply with applicable backup withholding tax rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or allowed as a credit against the U.S. stockholder’s federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

To achieve our goals, we have designed, and intend to modify as necessary, our compensation and benefits program to attract, retain, incentivize and reward deeply talented and qualified executives who share our philosophy and desire to work towards achieving these goals.

Further, we believe that the vesting schedules associated with our equity compensation awards promote our accomplishment of key objectives and our long-term success.

~~2021~~2022 Named Executive Officer Equity Compensation Decisions

~~2021~~2022 Allgood Equity Awards

Ms. Allgood’s ~~2021~~2022 equity awards were her ~~new-hire~~annual long-term incentive plan awards. After considering information provided by the Compensation Committee's compensation consultant, Mercer, the amount of the awards ~~granted pursuant~~was recommended to ~~her~~the Board by the Compensation Committee and then approved by the Board.

2022 Pedersen Equity Award

The amount of Mr. Pedersen's 2022 equity award was determined when negotiating the terms of his employment ~~agreement. See below for~~in connection with the acquisition of RE2. Among other things, we considered the importance of Mr. Pedersen as the then Chief Executive Officer of RE2 and the impact he would have on the success of the acquisition, integration of RE2 with us and the retention of RE2 employees following the acquisition, as well as the importance of providing Mr. Pedersen with a ~~description of Ms. Allgood’s employment agreement.~~meaningful retention incentive.

~~2021 Wolff~~2022 Hamer Equity Awards

~~In February 2021,~~ Mr. ~~Wolff was granted an award of shares of Old Sarcos common stock which, following~~Hamer's equity awards were determined when negotiating the consummation of the Business Combination, represents 5,129,222 shares of our Common Stock (the “2021 Wolff RSA”). In May 2021, Mr. Wolff was granted an option to purchase shares of Old Sarcos common stock with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of Old Sarcos’ common stock, as determined by Old Sarcos’ board of directors on the grant date (the “2021 Wolff Option” and together with the 2021 Wolff RSA, the “2021 Wolff Equity Awards”). Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the 2021 Wolff Option represents an option to purchase 1,025,844 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to $8.79.

~~The Old Sarcos board of directors, in consultation with an outside compensation consultant, considered many factors in determining the size and~~ terms of ~~the 2021 Wolff Equity Awards, including~~ Mr. Wolff’s percentage ownership in Old Sarcos, the estimated value of his Old Sarcos ownership interests, market data for similarly situated executives at comparable companies with an emphasis on the ownership percentage, Mr. Wolff’s past and expected future contributions to Old Sarcos, and the potential dilutive effect of these grants if Old Sarcos consummated a transaction with Rotor or any other qualifying transaction.

The 2021 Wolff RSA vests in four, equal quarterly installments beginning on March 24, 2022, the date that is six months following the Business Combination, subject to Mr. Wolff’s continued service, provided that 100% of the 2021 Wolff RSA will immediately vest upon the earlier of (i) a change of control following the Business Combination, (ii) a termination of Mr. Wolff’s service for reason other than a voluntary termination by Mr. Wolff that is not for “good reason” or a termination by us for “cause”, in either case, on or within the twelve (12) month period following the consummation of a “change of control” that occurs before a qualifying merger transaction (which transaction would include the closing of the Business Combination) or (iii) Mr. Wolff’s death.

~~The 2021 Wolff Option vests and becomes exercisable as to 25% of the grant on September 24, 2022, the one-year anniversary of the Business Combination, and as to 1/36~~^th of the remaining portion of the grant at the end of each month thereafter, provided that 100% of the 2021 Wolff Option immediately vests and becomes exercisable upon the earlier of (i) a termination of Mr. Wolff’s service for reason other than a voluntary termination by Mr. Wolff that is not for “good reason” or a termination by us for “cause”, in either case, on or within the twelve (12) month period following the consummation of a “change of control” or (ii) Mr. Wolff’s death. The 2021 Wolff Option has a term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination upon his termination.

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions

Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants

In September 2020, Rotor Sponsor LLC paid an aggregate of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, in exchange for the issuance of 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock of Rotor. The number of shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares of Rotor upon completion of Rotor’s initial public offering. In January 2021, Rotor effectuated a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of Class B common stock for each outstanding share of Class B common stock, resulting in there being an aggregate of 6,900,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. Of the 6,900,000 shares of Class B common stock, Rotor Sponsor LLC had agreed to forfeit an aggregate of up to 900,000 shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. Because the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, these 900,000 shares of Class B common stock are no longer subject to forfeiture. Simultaneously with the closing of Rotor’s initial public offering, Rotor issued 790,384 shares of Class B common stock to certain funds managed by BlackRock, or the BlackRock Holders, and to Riverview Group LLC, or Millennium, pursuant to the letter agreements discussed below, and cancelled a like number of shares of Class B common stock owned by Rotor Sponsor LLC.

Simultaneously with the closing of Rotor’s initial public offering, Rotor Sponsor LLC, the BlackRock Holders and Millennium purchased an aggregate of 7,270,000 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock of Rotor at a price of $11.50 per share, and the BlackRock Holders and Millennium purchased shares of Class B common stock, in each case in a private placement. Rotor received an aggregate of $7,270,000 from the sale of private placement warrants to Rotor Sponsor LLC, the BlackRock Holders and Millennium and sale of shares of Class B common stock to the BlackRock Holders and Millennium. The proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants were added to the net proceeds from Rotor’s initial public offering held in Rotor’s trust account. If Rotor did not complete a business combination within the combination period, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants would have been used to fund the redemption of the shares of Class A common stock of Rotor (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the private placement warrants would have expired worthless. At the closing of the private placement of private placement warrants and Class B shares described above, on January 20, 2021, $212,308 of excess ~~funding~~funding was due to be repaid to Rotor Sponsor LLC.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Founders Letter Agreement

In connection with Rotor’s initial public offering, Rotor’s directors and officers and Rotor Sponsor LLC, or the Original Founders, entered into a letter agreement with Rotor, whereby the Original Founders agreed to vote their shares of Rotor common stock in favor of an initial business combination. In addition to voting obligations, the Original Founders entered into a letter agreement in connection with the Rotor initial public offering, or the Founders Letter Agreement, pursuant to which the Original Founders agreed to certain lock-up and transfer restrictions with respect to their shares of Class B common stock and private placement warrants. Rotor Sponsor LLC and ~~each member~~applicable members of our management team have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earliest of (a) one year after the completion of the Business Combination and (b) after completion of the Business Combination (x) if the last reported sale price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our Business Combination or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Business Combination that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. The private placement warrants and the respective common stock underlying such Warrants were not transferable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The foregoing restrictions are not applicable to transfers (a) to Rotor’s initial officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of our initial stockholders, officers or directors, any members of Rotor Sponsor LLC or its affiliates, any affiliates of Rotor Sponsor LLC, or any employees of such affiliates; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the completion of the Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares of Class B common stock, private placement warrants or common stock, as applicable, were originally purchased; (f) by virtue of the limited partnership agreements or other applicable organizational documents of Rotor Sponsor LLC upon dissolution of Rotor Sponsor LLC; (g) as distributions to limited partners or members of Rotor Sponsor LLC; (h) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or of Rotor Sponsor LLC’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of Rotor Sponsor LLC; (i) to us for no value for cancellation in connection with the completion of the Business Combination; or (j) in the event of our completion of a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to our completion of the Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (h), or with our prior written consent, these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions and the other restrictions contained in the letter agreements. Those Original Founders who had previously acquired a minority equity investment in Old Sarcos in early 2020 are subject to the restrictions set forth in separate lock-up agreements upon distribution of any of our common stock or private placement warrants by Rotor Sponsor LLC to such persons.

Additionally, Rotor Sponsor LLC agreed to be liable to Rotor if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than Rotor’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to Rotor, or a prospective target business with which Rotor has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay Rotor taxes, if any, provided that

	~~2022 PROXY STATEMENT \| 52~~

~~RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS~~

such liability would not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account nor would it apply to any claims under Rotor’s indemnity of the underwriters of its initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

On January 14, 2021, each of Millennium and the BlackRock Holders entered into a letter agreement whereby Millennium among other things agreed to purchase from us 395,192 shares of Class B common stock for $436,731 and 419,423 private placement warrants for $419,423 and the BlackRock Holders agreed to purchase from us 395,192 shares of Class B common stock for $436,727 and 419,423 private placement warrants for $419,423. Pursuant to the letter agreements, the shares of Class B common stock and private placement warrants are subject to the same lock-up and transfer restrictions as set forth in the Founders Letter Agreement (with substantially similar provisions with respect to permitted transferees), and Millennium will have the same registration rights as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 14, 2021, entered into by and among Rotor and certain Rotor stockholders.

Founder Registration Rights Agreement

Rotor entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the private placement warrants and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the foregoing and upon conversion of the shares of Class B common stock. Pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement, Rotor Sponsor LLC, Millennium and the Blackrock Holders and their permitted transferees are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Subscription Agreements

Mr. Finn, John Howard and Stephan Selig, each directors of Rotor prior to the Business Combination, were participants in the private placement completed at the time of the closing of the Business Combination, or the PIPE Financing, and executed subscription agreements with Rotor. Mr. Finn, who also serves as our director following the Business Combination, through an investment vehicle held indirectly by family trusts (to which he is not a beneficiary), subscribed for 130,000 shares of our Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 million. Mr. Finn also subscribed for 12,500 shares of our common stock through a separate investment vehicle of which he was then a trustee. Mr. Howard subscribed for 100,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1 million. Mr. Selig subscribed for 25,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, Rotor Sponsor LLC, officers, directors or their affiliates were permitted, but were not obligated to, loan Rotor funds, or the Working Capital Loans. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, dated as of April 5, 2021 by and among Rotor, Rotor Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Rotor, and Old Sarcos, as amended by amendment No. 1 dated as of August 28, 2021, Rotor was permitted to incur up to $1,500,000 in working capital loans, provided that such loans were non-interest bearing and did not have any prepayment or repayment premiums, penalties, breakage or similar costs if it were to be prepaid or repaid in full.

	~~2022 PROXY STATEMENT \| 53~~

~~RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS~~

In the event that the Business Combination did not close, we were permitted to use a portion of the working capital held outside the Rotor trust account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from Rotor’s trust account would have been used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans was convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would have been identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

On September 14, 2020, Rotor Sponsor LLC agreed to loan Rotor an aggregate of up to $150,000 to cover expenses related to the initial public offering pursuant to a promissory note. This promissory note was non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2021, (ii) the consummation of the initial public offering or (iii) the date on which Rotor determined not to proceed with the initial public offering. As of December 31, 2020, there was $105,336 in borrowings outstanding under the Promissory Note, which was due on demand, and which were subsequently repaid at the closing of Rotor’s initial public offering.

On May 11, 2021, Rotor Sponsor LLC loaned to Rotor an aggregate of $145,000 for working capital purposes. On June 9, 2021, Rotor Sponsor LLC agreed to loan Rotor up to an additional $300,000 for working capital purposes. Each of the foregoing is evidenced by a separate promissory note which was non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation by Rotor of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Rotor Sponsor LLC had the option, but not the obligation, to convert the outstanding principal balance of these notes, in whole or in part, into our warrants, identical to the private placement warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each warrant would have been exercisable into one share of Rotor Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrants (i) would not be redeemable by us, (ii) would be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial holder or its permitted transferees, and (iii) would not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination except in limited circumstances.

If we did not consummate the Business Combination, the notes would not have been repaid and all amounts owed under the notes would have been forgiven except to the extent that Rotor had funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with the initial public offering.

Indemnification Agreements

~~Old Sarcos was, and following the consummation of the Business Combination we~~We are is party to indemnification agreements with Old Sarcos’ directors and executive officers. We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. We believe that these provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may decline in value to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

In the event that your broker, bank or other nominee does not receive instruction from you and therefore is not able to vote your shares on Proposal 1, our non-routine matter, your shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to ~~Proposal 1.~~such proposal. Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your shares are counted on each of the proposals.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our Board of Directors. Each of Kiva Allgood, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and ~~Steven Hansen,~~Andrew Hamer, our ~~Executive Vice President and~~ Chief Financial Officer,has been designated as a proxy holder for the Annual Meeting by our Board of Directors. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If the proxy is dated and signed, but no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors on the proposals as described above. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, then the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date, unless you have properly revoked your proxy, as described above.

Who will count the votes?

A company employee will tabulate the votes and act as inspector of election.

How can I contact Sarcos’ transfer agent?

You may contact our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, by telephone at 1-800-509-5586, or by writing Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, at 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004. You may also access instructions with respect to certain stockholder matters (e.g., change of address) via the Internet at www.continentalstock.com.

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting and who is paying for such solicitation?

Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting by means of the proxy materials. We will bear the entire cost of proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of the proxy materials. Copies of solicitation materials will also be made available upon request to brokers, banks and other nominees to forward to the beneficial owners of the

	~~2022 PROXY STATEMENT \| 66~~

~~QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND OUR ANNUAL MEETING~~

shares held of record by such brokers, banks or other nominees. The original solicitation of proxies may be supplemented by solicitation by telephone, electronic communications or other means by our directors, officers or employees. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services, although we may reimburse such individuals for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. We may also decide to engage a third-party proxy solicitor, in which case we do not expect related costs to be significant.

Will the meeting be webcast?

No, we do not plan to webcast the Annual Meeting.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8‑K that we will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, within four business days after the meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8‑K, we will file a Form 8‑K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8‑K as soon as they become available.


		2022 PROXY STATEMENT \| 71

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a full set of proxy materials?

In accordance with the rules of the SEC we have elected to furnish our proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our annual report, primarily via the Internet. As a result, we are mailing to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a paper copy of the proxy materials. The Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials on the Internet, how to vote on the proposals, how to request printed copies of the proxy materials and our annual report, and how to request to receive all future proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail. We encourage stockholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce our costs and the environmental impact of our annual meetings of stockholders.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability or more than one set of printed proxy materials?

If you receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability or more than one set of printed proxy materials, then your shares may be registered in more than one name and/or are registered in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Notice of Internet Availability or each set of printed proxy materials, as applicable, to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

	~~2022 PROXY STATEMENT \| 67~~

~~QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND OUR ANNUAL MEETING~~

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy statement and annual report. How may I obtain an additional copy of the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy statement and annual report?

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding,” under which we can deliver a single copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, the proxy statement and annual report, to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we receive contrary instructions from one or more stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs and the environmental impact of our annual meetings of stockholders. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, the proxy statement and annual report, to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of these documents. To receive a separate copy, or, if you are receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of next year’s Notice of Internet Availability or proxy statement and annual report, as applicable, you may contact us as follows:

Annex A

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF

AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

SARCOS TECHNOLOGY AND ROBOTICS CORPORATION

Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies as follows:

The name of the Company is Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation. The Company was originally incorporated under the name of Rotor Acquisition Corp., and the original Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 27, 2020.

The terms and provisions of this Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation have been duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) andthe stockholders of the Company.

Section 1 of Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Section 1. Effective immediately upon the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Amendment (the “Effective Time”), each [[three (3)] [four (4)] [five (5)] or [six (6)]*] shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, that are issued and outstanding or held in treasury on the Effective Time shall be reverse split and combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split shall also apply to any outstanding securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock of the Company. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exchange and combination. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled and (ii) the closing price per share on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split), without interest. All other rights, preferences and privileges of the Company’s Common Stock shall be adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in existence as of immediately prior to the filing of the Certificate of Amendment.

This Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock, to be designated, respectively, Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of stock that the Company shall have authority to issue is [[340,000,000 shares, of which 330,000,000], [257,500,000 shares, of which 247,500,000], [208,000,000 shares, of which 198,000,000] or [175,000,000 shares, of which 165,000,000]*] shares are Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares are Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share.”

* These amendments approve the combination of three (3), four (4), five (5) and six (6) shares of Common Stock into one (1) share of Common Stock and a proportional reduction in the number of autohrized shares of Common Stock to one-third (1/3), one-fourth (1/4), one-fifth (1/5) and one-sixth (1/6) of the shares of Common Stock and a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of stock authorized under the existing Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. By these amendments, the stockholders would approve each of the four (4) amendments proposed by the Board of Directors. The Certificate of Amendment filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware will include only that amendment determined by the Board of Directors to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The other three (3) proposed amendments will be abandoned pursuant to Section 242(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Board of Directors may also elect not to do any reverse stock split and reduction in number of authorized shares in which case all four (4) proposed amendments will be abandoned. In accordance with the proposal to be adopted by the stockholders the Board of Directors will not implement any amendment providing for a different reverse stock split ratio.

~~Fellow Shareholders,~~
I joined Sarcos because I truly believe in our mission: to increase worker productivity and longevity and prevent injuries through robots. Every day we design products that do exactly that. Our work will fundamentally improve the lives of workers worldwide. Our products will transform industries by increasing worker safety, longevity and productivity.
Going public in September 2021 provided the funding we need to transition from a research and development team to a product company. Our people are the foundation of our strategic competitive advantage. With the acquisition of RE2, Sarcos has over fifty years of advanced engineering that has pioneered the robotics industry through research, product design, and intellectual property. We are leveraging this strong foundation, and the advancements and cost reduction of essential technologies, to build and deliver commercially viable highly dexterous robots. These robotic systems partner with humans to perform challenging tasks in unstructured environments. What does that really mean? Imagine a day when a skilled robot operator can safely perform tasks, regardless of physical stature or stamina, with a fleet of robots. That day will be here with the deployments of the Guardian and Sapien products.
We have the talent. We continue to build a strong culture. A culture committed to delighting customers. A culture that values diverse perspectives with empathy and embraces change. To delight customers, we must remain
diligent on delivering products on time. Our newly expanded roadmap now includes six highly dexterous robots, that can work in operating rooms, underwater, at height, in a port or on a factory floor. The diversification of the portfolio will be unified through our continued investment in advanced artificial intelligence that will enable task-based autonomy.
I am delighted to be on this journey with such a talented team and look forward to launching this new product category. On behalf of our distinguished Board of Directors and the entire Sarcos team, I invite you to our Annual Shareholder meeting on June 29, 2022, at 2:00 Mountain Time.
~~Together we will deliver the workforce of tomorrow – one robot at a time.~~
~~Best Regards,~~

~~Kiva Allgood~~
~~President and Chief Executive officer~~

		Technology. Our products involve highly sophisticated technology, are extremely complicated and reflect our efforts at solving very difficult technological problems. As a result, we believe it is important to have directors who have technology industry experience and an understanding of the difficulties in developing and commercializing technologically advanced products.

		Operations. As we transition from primarily a research and development organization to a commercial enterprise, we need to continue to mature our operations to support the manufacture, service and support of products in commercial quantities. We benefit from the counsel and insight directors with significant operations experience provide.

		Finance. As a newly public company, we benefit from directors with a strong finance background, including an understanding of finance, financial statements and financial reporting as we continue to strengthen our internal controls and related processes. Further, we believe it is important to have directors with significant financial market experience.

		Customers. As we ~~continue toward commercialization of our core~~roll-out commercial products, ~~the Guardian XO~~ and ~~Guardian XT, and to~~ develop ~~and offer our Sapien line of~~new products, we believe it is important to have directors with experience in our target industries so that we can better understand the perspectives, needs and decision-making processes of potential customers.

		Global Business. We believe that our business will involve sales outside of the United States. As a result, we believe it is important to have directors with significant international business or similar experience.


In closing, I want to thank our partners and customers for their close collaboration and our stockholders for their continued support. I also want to thank our incredibly talented team at Sarcos for their dedication and outstanding work. I learn something new every day from my teammates as we work hard to enable the industrial workforce of the future.

Among other things, we believe that these individuals generally possess extraordinary leadership qualities and the ability to identify and develop those qualities in others and that they demonstrate a practical understanding of organizations, processes, strategy and growth management.
