Resignation of John Morrison

On November 4, 2024, John Morrison notified the Company of his decision to resign from his role as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective November 11, 2024 (the “Effective Date”). Mr. Morrison will continue to serve as an employee of the Company through November 30, 2024, during which time he will continue to receive the same compensation and will aid in the transition of the Chief Financial Officer role to Daniel Gabel. As a result of Mr. Morrison’s resignation, that employment agreement entered into by and between the Company and Mr. Morrison, dated June 1, 2023, will terminate as of the Effective Date. Mr. Morrison has advised the Company that he intends to retire and that his decision to step down from the role of Chief Financial Officer was not based on any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

In connection with Mr. Morrison’s retirement, and subject to Mr. Morrison executing and returning an effective waiver and release of claims, the Company has agreed to (i) pay Mr. Morrison an aggregate amount of nine months of his current base salary, payable in accordance with the Company’s typical payroll practices, commencing as of November 30, 2024, and (ii) continue group health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (“COBRA”) at the Company’s expense for a period of nine months following November 30, 2024.

Appointment of Daniel Gabel

Effective as of the Effective Date, Daniel Gabel has been appointed as the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Gabel, 36 years of age, brings over 14 years of accounting, financial, and strategic leadership experience within the defense industry to OSS.

Prior to that, from July 2010 to February 2023, he held various finance and accounting roles within several different divisions of RTX Corporation (“Raytheon”) (NYSE: RTX), including without limitation serving as Chief Financial Officer of SEAKR Engineering, a subsidiary of Raytheon, from September 2021 to February 2023 and as Finance Leader, Financial Planning & Analysis of Raytheon Electronic Warfare Systems from October 2019 to September 2021. Mr. Gabel holds a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Southern California and an MBA from Southern Methodist University.

On November 4, 2024, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Gabel (the “Gabel Agreement”), pursuant to which, effective as of the Effective Date, Mr. Gabel will begin serving as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The initial term of the Gabel Agreement is one year from the Effective Date, after which it will automatically renew on an annual basis, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

•

eligibility to participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefits, including its medical, dental and 401(k) plans, under the terms and conditions of the benefit plans that may be in effect from time to time.

Pursuant to the Gabel Agreement, in the event that Mr. Gabel is terminated by the Company for a reason other than good cause, then Mr. Gabel, upon signing and returning an effective waiver and release of claims, shall be entitled to receive: (i) separation payments in an aggregate amount of six months of his then-current base salary, payable in accordance with the Company’s typical payroll practices, and (ii) continuation of group health continuation coverage under COBRA at the Company’s expense for a period of six months following the termination date. In addition, if Mr. Gabel resigns for good reason, then Mr. Gabel, upon signing and returning an effective waiver and release of Does claims, shall be entitled to receive: (i) separation payments in an aggregate amount of three months of his then-current base salary, payable in accordance with the Company’s typical payroll practices, and (ii) continuation of group health continuation coverage under COBRA at the Company’s expense for a period of three months following the resignation date. Furthermore, in the event that either the Gabel Agreement is terminated by the Company without cause or Mr.

Gabel resigns for good reason in connection with a change in control, and such termination or resignation (as applicable) occurs within three months immediately preceding or twelve months immediately following the effective date of a change in control, then, upon signing and returning an effective waiver and release of claims, Mr. Gabel shall be entitled to (i) a single lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to six months of his then-current base salary, (ii) continuation of group health continuation coverage under the COBRA at the Company’s expense for a period of six months following the termination date, (iii) a pro-rated amount of any bonus, including any variable compensation plan amounts, earned through the terminated date plus six months, all at 100% of the plan, and (iv) the vesting of any unvested equity awards held by Mr. Gabel shall be accelerated such that 100% of such awards shall become fully vested and, if applicable, immediately exercisable effective as of the date of such termination. The right to exercise any stock options held by Mr. Gabel shall automatically vest in full, effective immediately prior to a change in control.

Both OSS and Executive desire that Executive be hired as the Chief Financial Officer of OSS (hereinafter “CFO”) on a full-time basis pursuant to the terms of this written Agreement.

IN CONSIDERATION of the promises and of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Employment. OSS hereby engages Executive to serve as its CFO and Executive hereby accepts such an engagement upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date stated above and shall remain in effect for one (1) year, unless terminated pursuant to Section 10.

If either OSS or Executive provides written notice to the other of a desire to amend or modify the Agreement for the following term and an agreement as to the amendment or modification cannot be reached prior to the expiration of the then current term, the Agreement will automatically terminate as of the end of the then current term of the Agreement, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties. If mutually agreed upon in writing, the sixty (60) day notice period may be waived by OSS and Executive.

Duties. Executive is employed to serve as the CFO of OSS and shall perform such duties as are customarily performed by a CFO, and such other duties as the Chief Executive Officer of OSS (“CEO”) assigns from time to time. Executive acknowledges that he is accountable to, and reports to, the CEO who will be Executive’s supervisor.

As part of Executive’s duties, Executive acknowledges and understands that: (a) Executive will devote his utmost knowledge and best skill to the performance of his duties; (b) Executive shall devote his full business time to the rendition of such services, subject to absences for customary vacations and for temporary illness; and (c) Executive will not engage in any other gainful occupation which requires his personal attention without prior consent of OSS, with the exception that Executive may personally trade in stock, bonds, securities, commodities or real estate investments for his own benefit, provided that Executive complies with Company policies and applicable law, including the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Executive is permitted to remain on any outside boards of directors he sat on as of the Effective Date, and may join other outside board(s) of directors, with prior consent of OSS, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld. In performing his duties hereunder, Executive shall support and implement the business, operational and strategic plans approved from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and shall support and cooperate with the Company’s efforts to operate in conformity with the business and strategic plans approved by the Board.

Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), and the Severance Benefits are intended to satisfy the exemptions from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if such exemptions are not available and Executive is, upon separation from service, a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance Benefits payments shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months and one day after Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) Executive’s death.

Executive shall receive Severance Benefits only if Executive executes and returns to the Company the Release and Waiver no later than forty-five (45) days following Executive’s termination date, and permits the Release and Waiver to become effective in accordance with its terms (such latest permitted date, the “Release and Waiver Deadline”). If the Severance Benefits are not covered by one or more exemptions from the application of Section 409A and the Release and Waiver could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive separates from service, the Release and Waiver will not be deemed effective any earlier than the Release and Waiver Deadline. None of the Severance Benefits will be paid or otherwise delivered prior to the effective date of the Release and Waiver. Except to the minimum extent that payments must be delayed because Executive is a “specified employee” or until the effectiveness of the Release and Waiver, all amounts will be paid in accordance with Section 12(b), 12(c) and 12(f) above, as applicable.

The Severance Benefits are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A or comply with its requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly.

14.

Limitation on Payments.

If any payment or benefit Executive will or may receive from the Company or otherwise (a “280G Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then any such 280G Payment pursuant to this Agreement (a “Payment”) shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount (i.e., the amount determined by clause (x) or by clause (y)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the “Reduction Method”) that results in the greatest economic benefit for Executive. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the “Pro Rata Reduction Method”).

Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (a) to the contrary, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Payment being subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, then the Reduction Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for Executive as determined on an after-tax basis; (B) as a second priority, Payments that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without cause), shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and (C) as a third priority, Payments that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

Unless Executive and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm or law firm, the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations.

If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting or law firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting or law firm required to be made hereunder. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting or law firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to Executive and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a 280G Payment becomes reasonably likely to occur (if requested at that time by Executive or the Company) or such other time as requested by Executive or the Company.

If Executive receives a Payment for which the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (x) of Section 14(a) and the Internal Revenue Service determines thereafter that some portion of the Payment is subject to the Excise Tax, Executive shall promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount of the Payment (after reduction pursuant to clause (x) of Section 14(a)) so that no portion of the remaining Payment is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (y) Section 14(a), Executive shall have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.

15.

Arbitration/Sole Remedy for Breach of Agreement. In the event of any dispute between OSS and Executive concerning any aspect of the employment relationship, including any disputes relating to termination, all such disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), as follows. This provision shall supersede any prior arbitration agreement, policy or understanding between the parties. The parties intend to revoke any prior arbitration agreement.

Claims Covered

Executive and OSS both agree to exclusively and finally resolve by binding arbitration any and all claims or controversies (“claims”) that OSS may have against Executive or that Executive may have against OSS or against its past, present, or future predecessors, successors, assigns, affiliates, parent and subsidiary companies, joint ventures, alleged joint employers, pension or benefit plans, administrators, vendors, contractors, and their respective past, present, or future officers, directors, employees, stockholders, representatives, managers, members, partners, partnerships, agents, clients, suppliers, vendors, business advisors, financial advisors, attorneys, and accountants, insurers, and indemnitees (collectively, “Employer”), relating to, resulting from, or in any way arising out of this Agreement or the enforcement, interpretation or validity of this Agreement and/or the agreement to arbitrate, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, any aspect of Executive’s employment relationship with Employer (pre-hire through post-termination), and/or the termination of Executive’s employment relationship with Employer, and/or any act or omission between Executive and Employer to the extent permitted by law. Any claims that are expressly precluded from arbitration by a governing federal law or by a state law that is not preempted by the FAA or other federal law are not covered by this Agreement.

ii.

The scope of this Agreement is intended to be broad and comprehensive and includes, without limitation, claims for wages or other compensation due; claims for penalties or premiums; claims for violations of the California Labor Code; claims for breach of any contract or covenant (express or implied); tort claims (including, but not limited to, those relating to performance or reputation); claims for discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation (including, but not limited to, race, religious creed (which includes religious dress and grooming practices), color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex (which includes pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and related medical conditions), gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, military or veteran status, or any other consideration made unlawful by federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations); claims for violation of any leaves of absence or accommodations laws; claims for wrongful termination or whistleblowing; claims for benefits (except where an employee benefit or pension plan specifies that its claims procedure shall culminate in an arbitration procedure different from this one); claims for violation of trade secret, proprietary, or confidential information laws; claims for unfair business practices; claims for invasion of privacy; conversion, claims for breach of fiduciary duty or breach of contract, defamation, claims for tortious interference with contract or economic advantage, and claims for violation of any public policy, federal, state, or other governmental law, statute, regulation, or ordinance.

Claims Not Covered by the Agreement.

The Agreement does not include any disputes involving sexual assault and/or sexual harassment as defined by title 9 of the United States Code arising on or after March 3, 2022.

ii.

Nothing in this agreement precludes Executive from pursuing any administrative agency claims, including, but not limited to, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, the Department of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board. However, if any federal, state or local administrative agency does not finally and completely resolve the claims covered by this Agreement, Executive must submit the claim to arbitration under this Agreement.

iii.

Any dispute or claim that is not covered by this Agreement may be filed in court but the parties agree that the court action will be immediately stayed pending full and final resolution of the Arbitration of the covered claims, unless prohibited by law.

Arbitration Procedures.

Required Notice of Claims and Statute of Limitations. Executive may initiate arbitration by serving or mailing a written notice to the CEO of Employer at Employer’s principal place of business.

Employer may initiate arbitration by serving or mailing a written notice to Executive at the last address recorded in Executive’s personnel file. The written notice must specify with reasonable particularity the claims asserted against the other party. Notice of any claim sought to be arbitrated must be served within the limitations period established by applicable federal or state law. After demand for arbitration has been made by serving written notice, the party demanding arbitration shall file a demand for arbitration with the Office of JAMS located in San Diego. The location of the arbitration is determined in accordance with Section 15(c)(viii). Applicable law is determined in accordance with Section 15(c)(vi).

ii.

Selection of Arbitrator and Applicable Rules. The arbitrator shall be selected within sixty (60) days of the party initiating arbitration under Section 15(c)(i) from the panel of JAMS and the arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to JAMS policies and procedures. Except as provided herein, all rules governing the arbitration shall be the then-applicable rules set forth by JAMS. If the dispute is employment-related, the dispute shall be governed by JAMS’s then-current version of the national rules for the resolution of employment disputes, with the exception that discovery and motions for summary judgment will be governed by Sections 15(c)(iii) and 15(c)(iv) of this Agreement. JAMS’s then-applicable rules governing the arbitration may be obtained from JAMS’s website, which currently is www.jamsadr.com.

iii.

Discovery and Motions. The parties shall be entitled to engage in all types of discovery (e.g., depositions, interrogatories, request for production of documents, etc.) regarding and relevant to the subject matter of the dispute submitted to arbitration pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (“FRCP”), including but not limited to, FRCP 26. A copy of the FRCP may be obtained from the website of the United States Courts, which is currently http://www.uscourts.gov/rules-policies/current-rules- practice-procedure/federal-rules-civil-procedure. The arbitrator is authorized to rule on discovery motions brought under the FRCP. All discovery must be completed no later than twenty (20) days prior to the date set for the arbitration hearing; provided, however, that no discovery may be initiated until after the dispute has been formally submitted to arbitration and an arbitrator has been mutually agreed-upon.

iv.

Dispositive Motions. Either party may file a motion for summary judgment with the arbitrator in accordance with Rule 56 of the FRCP.

Offers Of Judgement. Either party may serve an offer of judgment consistent with the FRCP.

vi.

Applicable Law and Arbitrator Authority. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state in which the claim arose, or federal law, or both, as applicable to the claim(s) asserted. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement including, but not limited to the agreement to arbitrate and any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable any claim that any party breached the agreement to arbitrate, except for any disputes involving sexual assault and/or sexual harassment as defined by Title 9 of the United States Code arising on or after March 3, 2022.

/s/ DG (Executive’s Initial Acknowledging Arbitrator’s Exclusive Authority.)

vii.

Arbitration Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding. The arbitrator shall issue a written arbitration decision revealing the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision and/or award is based within 30 calendar days after the hearing’s completion. A party’s right to appeal the decision is limited to grounds provided under applicable federal or state law.

viii.

Place of Arbitration. The arbitration shall take place at a mutually convenient location (preference shall be provided to a JAMS office) that must be within 50 miles of Executive’s last known address with Employer. If the parties cannot agree upon a location, or if a JAMS office is not within 50 miles of Executive’s last known address with Employer, then the arbitration shall be held at the JAMS closest to the last Employer worksite with which Executive most regularly communicated. If Executive worked remotely, then the arbitration shall be held at the JAMS office closest to Employer’s worksite where Executive was “assigned,” even though Executive did not physically work at the worksite.

Application for Emergency Injunctive and/or Other Equitable Relief. Claims by Employer or Executive for emergency injunctive and/or other equitable relief relating to unfair competition and/or the use and/or unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or confidential information shall be submitted to JAMS for emergency treatment. The parties agree that the JAMS administrator may select a neutral hearing officer (subject to conflicts) to hear the emergency request only. The hearing officer should be experienced in considering requests for emergency injunctive and/or other equitable relief. The hearing officer shall conform his consideration and ruling with the applicable legal standards as if this matter were heard in a court of law in the applicable jurisdiction for such a dispute.

Severability. Should any portion of this agreement to arbitrate be found unenforceable, such portion will be severed from this Agreement, and the remaining portions shall continue to be enforceable.

Effective Date. This agreement to arbitrate is retroactively effective to the date that Executive’s employment with Employer initially began. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment.

Construction. This agreement to arbitrate shall be construed and enforced pursuant to the FAA and not the California Arbitration Act, California Civil Procedure Section 1280 et seq. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Employer’s business affects interstate commerce. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement to arbitrate, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this agreement to arbitrate is void or voidable.

Any disputes regarding the enforceability or validity of this agreement to arbitrate or any of its provisions shall be resolved as if the arbitrator or other decision- maker, if any, is acting as a federal district court judge applying the FAA and its precedent.

/s/ DG (Executive’s Initials Acknowledging the FAA)

Consideration. Employer’s offer to make Executive eligible for promotions, raises, bonuses, gifts and prizes in the future, and the promises by Employer and Executive to arbitrate differences, rather than litigate them before courts or other bodies, provide consideration for each other to enter into this Agreement.

Representation, Fees, and Costs. Each party may be represented by an attorney or other representative selected by the party. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ or representative’s fees. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party subject to written evidence of such fees and applicable law. Employer shall be responsible for the arbitrator’s fees and costs to the extent they exceed any fee or cost that Executive would be required to bear if the action were brought in court. Executive and Employer shall pay any required fees or costs to initiate or continue the arbitration proceeding within 60 days of receiving an invoice from JAMS. Executive and Employer agree that this provision preempts and supersedes any contrary provision in the California Arbitration Act or it the arbitration provider’s rules or in the terms of the invoices for the required fees or costs.

Waiver of Jury Trial/Exclusive Remedy. Executive and Employer knowingly and voluntarily waive any constitutional right to have any dispute between them decided by a court of law and/or by a jury in court.

/s/ DG (Executive’s Initials Acknowledging Waiver of Jury Trial)

Waiver of Representative, Class and Collective Action Proceedings. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Executive and Employer knowingly and voluntarily agree to bring any claims governed by this Agreement in his/her/its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff, class member or representative in any purported class, collective or representative action. They further agree to waive any right to participate in any representative, collective or class action proceeding related to any claims governed by this agreement to arbitrate. Employer and Executive also agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims unless the Parties agree in writing, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective or class action proceeding, including, but not limited to, any representative action under California Business and Professions Code sections 17200 et seq. If any representative, class or collective action is filed in contravention of this section, the Parties to the action shall immediately seek dismissal of the action or, in the alternative, seek an immediate stay of the action pending full and final resolution of the arbitration unless prohibited by law.

/s/ DG (Executive’s Initials Acknowledging Waiver of Representative, Class or Collective Actions.

Indirect Beneficiaries Covered by the Agreement to Arbitration. In addition to Employer, this agreement to arbitrate applies and insures to the benefit of the parties that are alleged or otherwise deemed to manage, supervise or allegedly inure or damage (financially or otherwise) Employer’s employees, or operate as joint employers or co-employers of Employer’s employees (collectively, “Indirect Beneficiaries”) with respect to any Covered Claim.

16.

Certain Covenants.

Noncompetition. Except as may otherwise be approved by the Company, during the term of Executive’s employment, Executive shall not have any ownership interest (of record or beneficial) in, or have any interest as an Executive, salesman, consultant, officer or director in, or otherwise aid or assist in any manner, any firm, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other business that engages in any county, city or part thereof in the United States and/or any foreign country in a business which competes directly or indirectly (as determined by the Company) with the business of the Company in such county, city or part thereof, so long as the Company or any successors in interest to the business and goodwill of the Company, remains engaged in such business in such county, city or part thereof or continues to solicit customers or potential customers therein; provided, however, that Executive may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any entity which are traded on any national securities exchange if Executive (x) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity; or (y) does not, directly or indirectly, own one percent (1%) or more of any class of securities of any such entity.

Confidential Information. Executive and the Company have entered into the Company’s standard Executive Proprietary Information and Invention Assignment Agreement, or such similar document as commonly used by the Company (the “Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement”). Executive agrees to perform each and every obligation of Executive therein contained.

Solicitation of Executives. Executive shall not during the term of Executive’s employment and for the applicable severance period for which Executive receives severance benefits following any termination hereof pursuant to Section 12 above (regardless of whether Executive receives such severance benefits in a lump sum payment) (the “Restricted Period”), directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage to leave the employment of the Company, any executive of the Company.

Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. If Executive breaches or threatens to commit a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 16 (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”), the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity:

Specific Performance.

The right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction or through arbitration as set forth in Section 15, all without the need to post a bond or any other security or to prove any amount of actual damage or that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide adequate remedy to the Company; and

ii.

Accounting and Indemnification. The right and remedy to require Executive (i) to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by Executive or any associated party deriving such benefits as a result of any such breach of the Restrictive Covenants; and (ii) to indemnify the Company against any other losses, damages (including special and consequential damages), costs and expenses, including actual attorneys’ fees and court costs, which may be incurred by them and which result from or arise out of any such breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants.

Severability of Covenants/Blue Penciling. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, are unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or area of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Executive hereby waives any and all right to attack the validity of the Restrictive Covenants on the grounds of the breadth of their geographic scope or the length of their term.

Enforceability in Jurisdictions. The Company and Executive intend to and do hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the courts of any jurisdiction or designated arbitrator pursuant to Section 15(c)(ii) within the geographical scope of such covenants. If the courts or arbitrator(s) of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the Company and Executive that such determination not bar or in any way affect the right of the Company to the relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such covenants, as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, such covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

Solicitation of Employees Prohibited. During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly ask or encourage any employee(s) of OSS to leave their employment with OSS, or solicit any employee(s) of OSS for employment elsewhere.

Expects continued sequential growth with consolidated Q4 2024 revenue of approximately $15.0 million, and OSS segment revenue over $7.0 million

ESCONDIDO, Calif. – November 6, 2024 – – One Stop Systems, Inc. ("OSS" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: OSS), a leader in rugged Enterprise Class compute for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and sensor processing at the edge, reported results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024. Comparisons for the three- and nine-month periods are to the same year-ago periods unless otherwise noted.

“The growth strategies we are pursuing to take advantage of large, high-growth, and higher-margin market opportunities are taking hold, and positive momentum is building within our OSS segment. Higher OSS segment revenue helped offset continued softness in our Bressner segment, which remained impacted by sluggish economic activity in the European market. With year-to-date orders well in excess of revenue in our OSS segment, we believe that we are well positioned for sustainable revenue growth. We remain focused on converting our $1+ billion pipeline to sales and pursuing a greater number of customer-funded development projects,” stated OSS President and CEO, Mike Knowles.

During the third quarter, OSS incurred a $6.1 million charge for obsolete and slow-moving inventory. This charge had a limited impact on its cash position and during the third quarter OSS generated positive cash from operating activities, further supporting its strong balance sheet.

“With this inventory adjustment now behind us, I am encouraged by the improvement in OSS segment profitability during the quarter, reflecting our strategic focus on pursuing higher margin revenue opportunities in the commercial and defense markets. I believe OSS is well positioned for revenue growth and improving profitability in 2025 and beyond, supported by positive bookings, a growing backlog, and significant new business opportunities that are expected to close in the coming quarters,” concluded Mr. Knowles.

2024 Third-Quarter Financial Summary

Consolidated revenue was $13.70 million, compared to $13.75 million in Q3 2023 and $13.2 million in Q2 2024. The $47,066 year-over-year decrease was a result of a $1.0 million reduction in Bressner revenue associated with slower economic activity in Europe, offset by a $1.0 million year-over-year increase in OSS segment revenue.

The 17.5% year-over-year increase in OSS segment revenue was primarily due to higher revenue from defense customers, as well as new customer-funded development orders, aligned directly with the Company’s strategic focus and plan.

The following table sets forth net revenue by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023:


	Three Months Ended
Entity:	September 30, 2024	% of Net Revenue	September 30, 2023	% of Net Revenue	% Change
OSS	$ 6,460,290	47.2%	$ 5,500,159	40.0%	17.5%
Bressner	7,240,807	52.8%	8,248,004	60.0%	(12.2)%
Total net revenue	$ 13,701,097	100.0%	$ 13,748,163	100.0%	(0.3)%

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, OSS identified obsolete and slow-moving inventory associated with the transition of the Company’s business model and operating strategies, as well as slower adoption and movement in certain commercial and defense edge compute markets. As a result, during the 2024 third quarter, OSS took a charge of $6.1 million, which reduced reported gross margin, net income, and adjusted EBITDA for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024. Management does not currently foresee any further inventory charges, outside of historical trends.

Consolidated gross margin percentage was (12.5)%, compared to 26.6% in the prior year quarter. Gross margin, excluding the inventory charge, was 32.0%, up from 26.6% in the same period last year.

On a segment basis, the Company’s OSS segment had a gross margin of (51.2)%, compared to 32.4% for the same period a year ago. OSS segment gross margin, excluding the inventory charge, was 43.2%, a 10.8 percentage point increase from the same period last year, driven by revenue growth and a more profitable mix of revenue. The Company’s Bressner segment had a gross margin percentage of 22.0%, a 0.6 percentage point decrease from the same period last year, driven by a less profitable mix of revenue and an additional inventory reserve.

Total operating expenses decreased 34.3% to $5.0 million. This decrease was predominantly attributable to a $2.9 million impairment of goodwill that occurred in the third quarter of 2023, partially offset by planned marketing and program management investments made during the quarter.

OSS reported a net loss of $6.8 million, or $(0.32) per share, as compared to a net loss of $3.6 million, or $(0.18) per share, in the prior year period. Loss on a non-GAAP basis and per share basis was a net loss of $6.4 million, or $(0.30) per share, as compared to the prior year adjusted net loss of $597,000, or $(0.03) per share. Net loss and non-GAAP net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, included a $6.1 million inventory charge.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was a loss of $6.0 million, inclusive of a $6.1 million inventory charge, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $157,000 in the prior year period.

As of September 30, 2024, OSS reported cash and short-term investments of $12.6 million and total working capital of $26.7 million, compared to cash and short-term investments of $11.8 million and total working capital of $35.6 million at December 31, 2023.

2024 Nine Months Financial Summary

Consolidated revenue was $39.6 million, compared to $47.7 million for the same period last year. The 17.1% year-over-year reduction in consolidated revenue was primarily a result of approximately $4.8 million related to a former media customer. In addition, Bressner revenue declined by $3.3 million on a year-over-year basis, associated with slower economic activity in Europe.

The following table sets forth net revenue by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023:


	Nine Months Ended
Entity:	September 30, 2024	% of Net Revenue	September 30, 2023	% of Net Revenue	% Change
OSS	$ 17,516,196	44.3%	$ 22,408,841	46.9%	(21.8)%
Bressner	22,038,017	55.7%	25,332,748	53.1%	(13.0)%
Total net revenue	$ 39,554,213	100.0%	$ 47,741,589	100.0%	(17.1)%

Consolidated gross margin percentage was 13.5%, compared to 28.3% in the prior year quarter. Gross margin, excluding the inventory charge, was 28.9%, up from 28.3% in the same period last year.

On a segment basis, the Company’s OSS segment had a gross margin of (0.2)%, compared to 32.7% for the same period a year ago. OSS segment gross margin, excluding the inventory charge, was 34.6%, a 1.9 percentage point increase from the same period last year, driven by revenue growth and a more profitable mix of revenue. The Company’s Bressner segment had a gross margin of 24.4%, which was consistent with the prior year period.

Total operating expenses decreased 26.2% to $15.6 million. This decrease was predominantly attributable to a charge of $5.6 million for an impairment of goodwill that occurred during the 2023 nine-month period, the elimination of costs associated with organizational restructuring and outside professional services, partially offset by planned program management investments.

OSS reported a net loss of $10.5 million, or $(0.50) per share, as compared to a net loss of $6.4 million, or $(0.32) per share, in the prior year. Non-GAAP net loss and loss per share was $9.1 million, or $(0.43) per share, as compared to non-GAAP net loss and loss per share of $592,000, or $(0.03) per share, in the prior year period. Net loss and non-GAAP net loss for the period ended September 20, 2024, are inclusive of a $6.1 million inventory charge.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was a loss of $8.0 million, inclusive of a $6.1 million inventory charge, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $821,000 in the prior year.

Outlook

OSS anticipates consolidated revenue of approximately $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, which includes expected OSS segment revenue of $7 million, representing over 9% year-over-year growth in the OSS segment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that the use of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, is helpful for an investor to assess the performance of the Company. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expenses, impairment of long-lived assets, financing costs, fair value adjustments from purchase accounting, stock-based compensation expense and expenses related to discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash operating expenses, we believe that providing a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-cash and non-recurring expenses allows for meaningful comparisons between our core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing us with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our own core business operating results over different periods of time.

Our adjusted EBITDA measure may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. Our adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. We do not consider adjusted EBITDA to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

FOOTNOTE: Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, included an inventory charge of $6.1 million.

Non-GAAP EPS excludes the impact of certain items, and therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that exclusion of certain selected items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying results and trends and allows for comparability with our peer company index and industry. We use this measure along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage our business and to evaluate our performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. The Company defines non-GAAP income (loss) as income or (loss) before amortization, stock-based compensation, expenses related to discontinued operations, impairment of long-lived assets and non-recurring acquisition costs. Adjusted EPS expresses adjusted income (loss) on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

The following table reconciles non-GAAP net income and basic and diluted earnings per share:
