Submission of Stockholder Proposals

Given that the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting differs by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”), pursuant to Rule 14a-5(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is hereby providing notice of the deadlines for submission of stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and for any nomination for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or a proposal of business (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act), in each case, with respect to the 2022 Annual Meeting. The Company will publish additional details regarding the exact time, location, record date, and matters to be voted on at the 2022 Annual Meeting in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting.

Under the Company’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), because the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before the anniversary date of the 2021 Annual Meeting, in order for a nomination for election to the Board or a proposal of business (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act) to be presented at the 2022 Annual Meeting, a stockholder of record must deliver proper notice to our Secretary (Astrotech Corporation, 2105 Donley Drive, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78758, Attention: Secretary) no later than 6:00 p.m. Central Time on September 3, 2022.

Given that the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting, the deadline for submission of proposals by stockholders for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, will be Monday, September 12, 2022 (which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials prior to the 2022 Annual Meeting). Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2022 Annual Meeting.
