Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 4, 2026, Dr. Erica Schwartz notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Butterfly Network, Inc. (the “Company”) that she will resign as a director of the Company subject to and effective upon her confirmation as Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”) by the U.S. Senate. Dr. Schwartz’s contingent resignation follows her nomination to serve as Director of the CDC by President Donald J. Trump on April 16, 2026. The timing and result of the CDC confirmation process is not currently known. Dr. Schwartz remains a nominee for director at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 18, 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”).

On May 7, 2026, the Board appointed Caroll H. Neubauer to the Board, effective on May 18, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). The Board also appointed Mr. Neubauer to serve on the Compensation Committee and the Technology Committee of the Board. Mr. Neubauer will serve for a term to continue until the Annual Meeting. In connection with Mr. Neubauer’s appointment, the size of the Board was increased to eight directors.

The Board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Neubauer is an independent director pursuant to the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and those rules and regulations issued pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Neubauer and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Neubauer was appointed as a director. There are no transactions to which the Company is a party and in which Mr. Neubauer has a material interest that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Neubauer has not previously held any positions with the Company and has no family relations with any directors or executive officers of the Company.

Mr. Neubauer will be entitled to the standard compensation paid by the Company to all of its nonemployee directors under the Company’s Amended and Restated Nonemployee Director Compensation Policy (the “Nonemployee Director Compensation Policy”), as described under “Director Compensation” in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed on April 27, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”), prorated as applicable to reflect the actual time Mr. Neubauer will serve on the Board for the applicable quarter. Pursuant to the Nonemployee Director Compensation Policy, on the first business day after the Effective Date, the Company will grant to Mr. Neubauer a number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) having an aggregate fair market value equal to $300,000, determined by dividing (i) $300,000 by (ii) the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the grant (rounded down to the nearest whole share). The RSUs will vest in equal annual installments over three years from the date of the grant, subject to Mr. Neubauer’s continued service as a director on the applicable vesting dates.

Mr. Neubauer will also enter into an indemnification agreement in the form the Company has entered into with its other nonemployee directors, as described in the Proxy Statement under “Indemnification Agreements with Officers and Directors and Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance”.

A copy of the press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Neubauer to the Board is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
