On July 10, 2026 and effective as of such date, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Redwire Corporation (the “Company”), upon recommendation by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, appointed Gregory L. Heston to fill the vacancy on the Board resulting from the previously announced resignation by David Kornblatt. Mr. Heston will serve as a Class III director with a term of office expiring at the Company's 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and has been appointed as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board. Mr. Heston will be paid in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy. In connection with the appointment of Mr. Heston to the Board, Mr. Heston and the Company have entered into an Indemnification Agreement, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2021. The Board has determined that Mr. Heston is independent under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There was no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Heston and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Heston was selected as a director, and the Company is not aware of any related transactions or relationships between Mr. Heston and the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Mr. Heston is a retired Ernst & Young (“EY”) audit partner with 38 years of public accounting experience, including 24 years as a partner.

Following his 2024 retirement from EY, Mr. Heston joined the faculty of Auburn University's Raymond J. Harbert College of Business as a Professor of Practice in the School of Accountancy. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of Geneva Benefits Group, and previously served two four-year terms on the Board of Directors of the Auburn University Foundation.
