Change in Chief Financial Officer

On and effective as of July 14, 2023, Mr. Benton resigned his position as Chief Financial Officer of Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Benton will remain in his position as a director on the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”). Mr. Benton’s resignation as Chief Financial Officer was not related to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the registrant’s operations, policies or practices.

On and effective as of July 15, 2023, the Board appointed Keith Tainsky, the Company's Vice President of Finance and Business Operations, as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Tainsky, 51, will be acting as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective July 15, 2023, and will serve in such capacity until a replacement for Mr. Benton has been found and commences service in such capacity. Mr. Tainsky has served as Vice President of Finance and Business Operations of the Company since November 2022. From July 2020 until the Company completed its acquisition of Tempo Automation, Inc. (“Legacy Tempo”) in November 2022, Mr. Tainsky held multiple roles, including Vice President of Finance and Information Technology and Vice President of Finance and Business Operations at Legacy Tempo. From August 2018 to May 2020, he served as Vice President Finance of Revasum, Inc., a publicly listed semiconductor capital equipment company. Prior to joining Revasum, Inc., Mr. Tainsky held several roles at Exar Corporation from 2014 to August 2018, including Vice President, Finance and subsequently Chief Financial Officer. Among other accomplishments, Mr. Tainsky led the completion of systems integration when Exar Corporation was sold to MaxLinear in 2017. Prior to joining Exar Corporation, Mr. Tainsky served as Director of Finance and Business Unit Controller for Amkor Technology, Inc., a leading provider of contract semiconductor assembly and test services and held various positions at Insight Enterprises, Inc., ASM International NV, Motorola Semiconductor, Inc. and several accounting firms. In the aggregate, Mr. Tainsky has over 30 years of experience in finance, operations and management consulting. Mr. Tainsky holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Northern Arizona University.

Reduction in Base Salaries

On July 15, 2023, the Board approved temporary reductions in the annual base salaries of its President and Chief Executive Officer, Joy Weiss, and Chief Technology and Manufacturing Officer, Ralph Richart. Effective July 15, 2023, the annual base salary for both Ms. Weiss and Mr. Richart will be reduced by 50%. Such reductions will remain in effect for the foreseeable future.

On July 13, 2023, the Board approved a plan of termination that will result in a reduction in its workforce by 62 employees. The Company notified employees about the workforce reduction on July 14, 2023 and the reduction was completed on July 14, 2023. Following the reduction, the Company has seven employees, including Joy Weiss, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ralph Richart, Chief Technology and Manufacturing Officer.

The Company is undertaking this workforce reduction primarily as a means of reducing overhead to better position the Company to fund its planned operations while meeting obligations as they come due. As previously disclosed, the Company has experienced negative cash flows since inception that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is continuing to work to identify alternative sources of capital and means of reducing expenses that may permit the Company to continue as a going concern, including raising debt or equity capital and other alternatives. However, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional capital, or that the plan of termination and related workface reduction will be sufficient to permit the Company to continue operations.

The Company does not expect to record material charges related to termination benefits.
