On July 8, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Amanda Twede Crawford, the Company’s current Vice President, Financial Planning and Analysis, to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, effective July 9, 2024, to succeed Kathryn Scolnick in these positions. Ms. Scolnick, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, transitioned out of these positions effective July 9, 2024, but will remain employed by the Company in an advisory role through September 6, 2024 (the “Separation Date”) to provide transition support.

Ms. Crawford, age 37, has served as the Company’s Vice President, Financial Planning and Analysis from March 2022 to July 2024. Prior to joining the Company, Ms. Crawford served in various positions at Swire Coca-Cola, USA, a beverages company (“Coca-Cola”).

In connection with Ms. Crawford’s appointment, on July 9, 2024, the Company and Ms. Crawford executed a promotion letter (the “Promotion Letter”) pursuant to which Ms. Crawford’s annual base salary was increased to $300,000 and her annual cash bonus opportunity was increased to 35% of her annual base salary based on the achievement of company goals and Ms. Crawford’s individual performance, subject to her continued employment with the Company through the payment date. Ms. Crawford is also eligible to receive, subject to approval by the Board, an equity award with a target value of between $200,000 to $300,000 at the time of grant in the form of restricted stock units with vesting terms to be determined. Under the Promotion Letter, if Ms. Crawford’s employment with the Company is terminated without “cause” (as defined in the Promotion Letter), Ms. Crawford will be paid six months of her then current salary as severance and, if Ms. Crawford’s employment is either (i) terminated by the Company without Cause or (ii) terminated by her for Good Reason (as defined in the Promotion Letter), after a Change in Control Transaction (as defined in the Company’s Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (the “CIC Severance Plan”), then all of Ms. Crawford’s then-unvested equity awards will automatically vest on the date of such termination, contingent, in each such termination scenario, upon her timely execution and delivery of a separation agreement and general release of claims and continued compliance with all applicable restrictive covenants.

Owlet Announces CFO Transition and Re-Affirms 2024 Financial Goals
Owlet to Report Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results on August 12, 2024

LEHI, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Owlet, Inc. (“Owlet” or the “Company”) (NYSE:OWLT), the pioneer of smart infant monitoring, today announced that Kate Scolnick, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), will be departing the Company to pursue other opportunities. Amanda Twede Crawford, Owlet’s Vice President, Financial Planning and Analysis, will assume the role of CFO. Kate will remain at the Company in an advisory role for a transition period through September 2024.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors and Owlet, I want to thank Kate for her executive leadership and significant contributions since joining our management team prior to our initial public listing. Over the last three and a half years she has been instrumental in supporting our top line growth, margin expansion and profitability objectives, and with her help we are on track to achieve our 2024 operational and financial goals,” said Kurt Workman, Owlet Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. “Along with public company execution rigor and commitment to our Company’s mission, Kate has established and developed executive talent in our finance and operations teams. Since joining Owlet in 2022, Amanda Twede Crawford has been a key financial leader and we’re excited for her to be moving into the CFO role. We anticipate this will be a smooth transition and wish Kate continued success in her future endeavors.”

Amanda brings over 15 years of finance and accounting experience to Owlet. Prior to Owlet, she held multiple positions at Swire Coca-Cola, USA including Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller. She began her career at PricewaterhouseCoopers and is a Certified Public Accountant. She holds a Master of Accounting degree from the University of Utah.

Workman continued, “In addition to this change, I’d like to provide some color on Owlet’s strong momentum and business performance thus far in 2024. The entire Owlet team has worked hard to put us in position to execute on our strategic operational goals for the remainder of 2024 and beyond. We continue to make strong inroads outside of our core US market, especially in the EU and UK, and are expanding our presence in the large remote patient monitoring segment following two landmark FDA clearances last year. Importantly, we continue to see accelerating product sell-through to parents, and we remain focused and progressing towards our stated goal of reaching and maintaining Adjusted EBITDA breakeven. We’re excited to share more on our upcoming financial results call.”
Owlet will release its second quarter 2024 financial results after the market closes on August 12, 2024. Owlet will issue a copy of the earnings release via Business Wire and include a copy on Owlet’s Investor Relations website at www.investors.owletcare.com.
