Additional information concerning the Reporting Persons is listed on Attachment A hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

From October 2013 through November 2018, the Reporting Persons acquired the following shares of stock of Legacy Berkshire Grey (as defined below): 82,726 shares of Common Stock, 2,212,389 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 2,403,846 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, 785,056 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, 710,321 shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, 1,985,430 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 1,447,421 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock. The Reporting Persons acquired such shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $27,288,885. All such shares were acquired with working capital.

The shares of Class A common stock reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired in connection with a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 23, 2021, by and among Berkshire Grey, Inc. (known as Berkshire Grey, Inc. prior to the Business Combination and currently known as Berkshire Grey Operating Company, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Berkshire Grey”), Revolution Acceleration Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (“RAAC”), and Pickup Merger Corp, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of RAAC.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on July 21, 2021, the Business Combination was consummated. Upon the completion of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”), Legacy Berkshire Grey became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of RAAC. In connection with the Transactions, RAAC changed its name to Berkshire Grey, Inc. and Legacy Berkshire Grey changed its name to Berkshire Grey Operating Company, Inc.

As a result of the Business Combination, the shares of Legacy Berkshire Grey preferred stock held by each of the Reporting Persons were converted into Legacy Berkshire Grey common stock, and each share of Legacy Berkshire Grey common stock was converted into the right to receive approximately 5.87585 shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer. As a result of such conversions, the Reporting Persons owned an aggregate of 56,567,914 shares of Class A common stock.

The shares of Class A common stock reported herein were acquired solely for investment purposes. None of the Reporting Persons have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any change in the business, policies, management, structure or capitalization of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire, or

dispose of, additional securities of the Issuer in the ordinary course of their business, to the extent deemed advisable in light of their general investment and trading policies, market conditions or other factors. The Reporting Persons may engage in discussions from time to time with other stockholders of the Issuer regarding the acquisition by the Reporting Persons or others of shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock held by such stockholders.

The Reporting Persons may seek information from management and the Issuer’s Board of Directors, and may engage in further discussions with management, the Issuer’s Board of Directors, other stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties, concerning the business, operations, governance, management, strategy, capitalization and/or future plans of the Issuer, or in proposing one or more of the other actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4. In addition, the Reporting Persons may exercise their rights under the Investors’ Rights Agreement, as defined below.

The aggregate percentage of shares of Class A common stock reported beneficially owned by each person named herein is determined in accordance with SEC rules and is based upon 222,597,413 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, which is the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding as reported in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 27, 2021 in connection with the Issuer’s Business Combination. The applicable SEC rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities and include shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of other securities that are immediately convertible or exercisable, or are convertible or exercisable within 60 days of the filing of this Report.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), on July 21, 2021, each of KV Seed B, KV Seed B (CF), and KV V (the “KV Funds”) entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Issuer, RAAC Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and certain other investors of the Issuer party thereto, pursuant to which the KV Funds are entitled to registration rights with respect to their shares of Class A common stock. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Issuer will, (i) within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, file with the SEC (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Class A common stock (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (x) the 90th calendar day following the filing date if the SEC notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Resale Registration Statement and (y) the 10th business day after the date the Issuer is notified by the SEC that the Resale Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

The A&R Registration Rights Agreement grants the KV Funds and their respective permitted transferees certain demand registration rights in connection with an underwritten shelf takedown offering, in each case subject to certain offering thresholds, issuer suspension periods and certain other conditions. In addition, the A&R Registration Rights Agreement grants the KV Funds “piggyback” registration rights, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks, issuer suspension periods and certain other conditions.

The registration rights granted pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement are subject to certain customary limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of securities to be included in an underwritten offering and the Issuer’s right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement also includes customary indemnification provisions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements filed pursuant to the terms of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, including the fees of legal counsel selected by the majority-in-interest of investors initiating a demand registration right (not to exceed $75,000 without consent of the Issuer). The A&R Registration Rights Agreement also provides for a lock-up on registrable securities held by the KV Funds so that they may not transfer such shares, except to certain permitted transferees, for 180 days following the Closing.
