As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s notice and access rules, we have elected to deliver our proxy materials to the majority of our stockholders over the internet.

All stockholders are cordially invited to attend the annual meeting. Whether you plan to attend the annual meeting or not, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy by the internet, telephone or mail in order to ensure the presence of a quorum. You may change or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the annual meeting. If you participate in and vote your shares at the annual meeting, your proxy will not be used.

This proxy statement, including the Letter to Stockholders of Butterfly Network, Inc. (the “Company”) contained in this proxy statement, includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections with respect to the Company and its financial results, future performance, development of products and services, and the size and potential growth of current or future markets for its products and services. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the Company’s ability to grow and manage growth profitably; the success, cost and timing of the Company’s product and service development activities; the potential attributes and benefits of the Company’s products and services; the degree to which the Company’s products and services are accepted by healthcare practitioners and patients for their approved uses; the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for its products, and any related restrictions and limitations of any approved product; the Company’s ability to identify, in-license or acquire additional technology; the Company’s ability to maintain its existing license, manufacture, supply and distribution agreements; manufacturing and supply of the Company’s products; the Company’s ability to compete with other companies currently marketing or engaged in the development of products and services that the Company is currently marketing or developing; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the size and growth potential of the markets for the Company’s products and services, and its ability to serve those markets, either alone or in partnership with others; the pricing of the Company’s products and services and reimbursement for medical procedures conducted using its products and services; the Company’s estimates regarding expenses, revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing; the Company’s financial performance; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or in subsequent filings that it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertake to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

 

This proxy statement, along with the accompanying Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, contains information about the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders of Butterfly Network, Inc., including any adjournments or postponements of the annual meeting. We are holding the annual meeting at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on Thursday, June 12, 2025. Because hosting a virtual annual meeting enables greater stockholder attendance and participation from any location around the world, improves meeting efficiency and our ability to communicate effectively with our stockholders, and reduces the cost and environmental impact of our annual meeting, this year’s annual meeting will be conducted solely via live audio webcast on the internet. You will be able to attend the annual meeting, vote and submit your questions during the annual meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BFLY2025. You will not be able to attend the annual meeting in person.

In this proxy statement, we refer to Butterfly Network, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as “Butterfly,” the “Company,” “we” and “us.”

This proxy statement relates to the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the annual meeting.

On or about April 30, 2025, we will begin sending to our stockholders the Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement for our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and our 2024 annual report to stockholders.

This proxy statement, the Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our form of proxy card and our 2024 annual report to stockholders are available for viewing, printing and downloading at www.proxyvote.com. To view these materials please have your 16-digit control number(s) available that appears on your Notice or proxy card. On this website, you can also elect to receive future distributions of our proxy statements and annual reports to stockholders by electronic delivery.

Additionally, you can find a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at www.sec.gov, or in the “SEC Filings” section of the “Investors” section of our website at https://ir.butterflynetwork.com/financials/sec-filings/default.aspx. You may also obtain a printed copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our financial statements, free of charge, from us by sending a written request to: Butterfly Network, Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, 1600 District Avenue, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803. Exhibits will be provided upon written request and payment of an appropriate processing fee.

Our board of directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders to be held virtually, on Thursday, June 12, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, and any adjournments or postponements of the meeting (the “annual meeting”). This proxy statement, along with the accompanying Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, summarizes the purposes of the meeting and the information you need to know to vote at the annual meeting.

We have made available to you on the internet or have sent you this proxy statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the proxy card and a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 because you owned shares of our Class A common stock or Class B common stock (together, the “common stock”) on the record date, April 21, 2025. We will commence distribution of the Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) and, if applicable, proxy materials to stockholders on or about April 30, 2025.

As permitted by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we may furnish our proxy materials to our stockholders by providing access to such documents on the internet, rather than mailing printed copies of these materials to each stockholder. Most stockholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. We believe that this process should expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lower the costs of the annual meeting and help to conserve natural resources. If you received the Notice by mail or electronically, you will not receive a printed or email copy of the proxy materials, unless you request one by following the instructions included in the Notice. Instead, the Notice instructs you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials and submit your proxy on the internet. If you requested a paper copy of the proxy materials, you may authorize the voting of your shares by following the instructions on the proxy card, in addition to the other methods of voting described in this proxy statement.

We are holding a virtual annual meeting to enable us to communicate with our stockholders while supporting the health and well-being of our stockholders and employees. We believe that hosting a virtual annual meeting enables greater stockholder attendance and participation from any location around the world, improves meeting efficiency and our ability to communicate effectively with our stockholders, and reduces the cost and environmental impact of our annual meeting. This year’s annual meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. We have designed our virtual format to enhance, rather than constrain, stockholder access, participation and communication. For example, the virtual format allows stockholders to communicate with us in advance of, and during, the annual meeting so they can ask questions of our board of directors or management, as time permits.

The live audio webcast of the annual meeting will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Online access to the audio webcast will open 15 minutes prior to the start of the annual meeting to allow time for you to log in and test your device’s audio system. The virtual annual meeting is running the most updated version of the applicable software and plugins. You should ensure you have a strong internet connection wherever you intend to participate in the annual meeting. You should also allow plenty of time to log in and ensure that you can hear streaming audio prior to the start of the annual meeting.

Log-in Instructions. To be admitted to the virtual annual meeting, you will need to log in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BFLY2025 using the 16-digit control number found on the proxy card or voting instruction card previously mailed or made available to stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Stockholders may submit questions for the annual meeting after logging in. If you wish to submit a question, you may do so by logging into the virtual meeting platform at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BFLY2025, typing your question into the “Ask a Question” field, and clicking “Submit.” Please submit any questions before the start time of the meeting.

Appropriate questions related to the business of the annual meeting (the proposals being voted on) will be answered during the annual meeting, as time permits. Additional information regarding the ability of stockholders to ask questions during the annual meeting, related to rules of conduct and other materials for the annual meeting will be available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BFLY2025.

Beginning 15 minutes prior to, and during, the annual meeting, we will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual annual meeting, voting at the annual meeting or submitting questions at the annual meeting. There will be technical support telephone numbers referenced on the log in page of the virtual annual platform should you require technical assistance and/or experience connectivity issues on the day of the meeting.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 21, 2025 will be entitled to vote at the annual meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 247,288,930 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, consisting of 220,861,993 shares of Class A common stock and 26,426,937 shares of Class B common stock. Our Class A common stock and Class B common stock are our only classes of voting stock.

If on April 21, 2025 your shares of common stock were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record.

If on April 21, 2025 your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the annual meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the annual meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

You do not need to attend the annual meeting to vote your shares. Shares represented by valid proxies, received in time for the annual meeting and not revoked prior to the annual meeting, will be voted at the annual meeting. For instructions on how to change or revoke your proxy, see “May I Change or Revoke My Proxy?” below.

Each share of our Class A common stock that you own entitles you to one vote and each share of our Class B common stock that you own entitles you to 20 votes.

Whether you plan to attend the annual meeting or not, we urge you to vote by proxy. All shares represented by valid proxies that we receive through this solicitation, and that are not revoked, will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card or as instructed via the internet or telephone. You may specify whether your shares should be voted FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN for each nominee for director and whether your shares should be voted FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN with respect to each of the other proposals. If you properly submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with our board of directors’ recommendations as noted below. Voting by proxy will not affect your right to attend the annual meeting.

If your shares are registered directly in your name through our stock transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or you have stock certificates registered in your name, you may vote:

If your shares are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record), you will receive instructions from the holder of record. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted. Telephone and internet voting also will be offered to stockholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers.

Our board of directors recommends that you vote as follows:

If any other matter is presented at the annual meeting, your proxy provides that your shares will be voted by the proxy holder listed in the proxy in accordance with the proxy holder’s best judgment. At the time this proxy statement was first made available, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the annual meeting, other than those discussed in this proxy statement.

If you give us your proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before the annual meeting. You may change or revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

Your most current vote, whether by telephone, internet or proxy card is the one that will be counted.

You may receive more than one Notice or proxy card if you hold shares of our common stock in more than one account, which may be in registered form or held in street name. Please vote in the manner described above under “How Do I Vote?” for each account to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

If your shares are registered in your name or if you have stock certificates, they will not be counted if you do not vote as described above under “How Do I Vote?” If your shares are held in street name and you do not provide voting instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares as described above, the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares has the discretion to vote uninstructed shares held in street name on “routine” matters. Under stock market rules, a broker lacks discretion to vote shares held in street name on “non-routine” matters in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of the stock (called a “broker non-vote”). A “broker non-vote” will occur if your broker cannot vote your shares on a particular matter because it has not received instructions from you and does not have discretionary voting authority on that matter or because your broker chooses not to vote on a matter for which it does have discretionary voting authority. Proposal 2 (the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm) is a routine matter, but Proposals 1 (the election of the nominees for director) and 3 (the approval on a non-binding advisory basis of compensation of our NEOs) are non-routine matters. Therefore, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee. This ensures your shares will be voted at the annual meeting and in the manner you desire.

Each share of our Class B common stock is entitled to 20 votes per share and each share of our Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. The Founder, former Interim Chief Executive Officer, and current member of our board of directors, Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D., beneficially owns 100% of our Class B common stock and controls a majority of the voting power of all of our outstanding shares of capital stock. As a result, Dr. Rothberg has the power to elect each of the nominees named in this proxy statement, ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, and approve on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation of our NEOs.

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the annual meeting, and we will publish preliminary, or final results if available, in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the annual meeting. If final results are unavailable at the time we file the Form 8-K, then we will file an amended report on Form 8-K to disclose the final voting results within four business days after the final voting results are known.

We will pay all of the costs of soliciting these proxies. Our directors and employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, fax or email. We will pay these employees and directors no additional compensation for these services. We will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward these proxy materials to their principals and to obtain authority to execute proxies. We will then reimburse them for their expenses.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority in voting power of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, is necessary to constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at an annual meeting.

Our annual meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. To attend the virtual annual meeting, go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BFLY2025 shortly before the meeting time, and follow the instructions for downloading the webcast. You need not attend the annual meeting in order to vote.

Some brokers or other nominee record holders may be sending you a single set of our proxy materials if multiple Butterfly Network, Inc. stockholders live in your household. This practice, which has been approved by the SEC, is called “householding.” Once you receive notice from your broker or other nominee record holder that it will be “householding” our proxy materials, the practice will continue until you are otherwise notified or until you notify them that you no longer want to participate in the practice. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.

We will promptly deliver a separate copy of our Notice or, if applicable, our proxy materials to you if you write or call our Corporate Secretary at: Butterfly Network, Inc., 1600 District Avenue, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803 or (781) 557-4800. If you want to receive your own set of our proxy materials in the future or, if you share an address with another stockholder and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of proxy materials, you should contact your broker or other nominee record holder directly or you may contact us at the above address and phone number.

On February 12, 2021, Longview Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Longview” and after the Business Combination described herein, the “Company”), consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement dated as of November 19, 2020 by and among Longview, Clay Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Butterfly Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Butterfly”).

Following the Closing, the Company’s Class A common stock and warrants to purchase Class A common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BFLY” and “BFLY WS,” respectively.

The following table sets forth information known to the Company regarding the beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock as of April 1, 2025 by:

Company stock issuable upon exercise of options and warrants currently exercisable within 60 days and RSUs that vest within 60 days of April 1, 2025 are deemed outstanding solely for purposes of calculating the percentage of total ownership and total voting power of the beneficial owner thereof.

The beneficial ownership of Company common stock is based on 220,818,648 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and 26,426,937 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock issued and outstanding as of April 1, 2025.

There are no family relationships between or among any of our directors or executive officers.

The Company’s board of directors is comprised of highly-skilled individuals with diverse qualifications, enabling the board of directors to advise the Company on a variety of matters. Below are certain qualifications, skills and experiences of our director nominees that contribute to the board of directors’ effectiveness as a whole.

 

The board of directors have extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to the Company and its business and accomplishes this oversight through the regular reporting to the board of directors by the audit committee. The audit committee periodically reviews the Company’s accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of its financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls and its compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, internal audit and information technology functions, the audit committee reviews and discusses all significant areas of our business and summarizes for the board of directors areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors. In addition, the board of directors receives periodic detailed operating performance reviews from management.

The audit committee oversees the Company’s cybersecurity controls. The Company uses, stores and processes data for and about our customers, employees, partners and suppliers. The Company has implemented a cybersecurity risk management program that is designed to identify, assess, and mitigate risks from cybersecurity threats to this data and the Company’s systems.

Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D. beneficially owns a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Under these corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the

voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements (1) that a majority of its board of directors consist of independent directors, (2) that its board of directors have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (3) that its board of directors have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. As a result, we may utilize one or more of these exemptions, and you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. However, we do not currently utilize any of the foregoing exemptions.

If we cease to be a “controlled company” and our shares continue to be listed on the NYSE, we will be required to comply with these standards and, depending on the board’s independence determination with respect to its then-current directors, we may be required to add additional directors to our board in order to achieve such compliance within the applicable transition periods. Last year, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation whereby all of our shares of Class B common stock, which are currently held by Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D., will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock effective February 12, 2028. Therefore, we will cease to be a “controlled company” on or before February 12, 2028.

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors is declassified, and the directors are elected annually.

NYSE rules generally require that independent directors comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. As a controlled company, we are largely exempt from such requirements. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, we have determined that Larry Robbins, Dawn Carfora, Elazer Edelman, M.D., Ph.D., S. Louise Phanstiel and Erica Schwartz, M.D., J.D., M.P.H., representing five of the Company’s seven directors, are “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements and rules of the NYSE.

The standing committees of the board of directors consist of an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee and a technology committee. The board of directors may from time to time establish other committees.

Our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers regularly report to the non-executive directors and the audit, the compensation and the nominating and corporate governance committees to ensure effective and efficient oversight of our activities and to assist in proper risk management and the ongoing evaluation of management controls. We believe that the leadership structure of the board of directors will provide appropriate risk oversight of our activities given the controlling interests held by Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D.

Meeting Attendance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, there were seven meetings of our board of directors, and the various committees of the board of directors met a total of seventeen times. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the board of directors and of committees of the board of directors on which such director served during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The board of directors has adopted a policy under which each member of the board of directors makes every effort to but is not required to attend each annual meeting of our stockholders. None of our directors then serving as directors attended our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

Our audit committee met six times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Our audit committee consists of S. Louise Phanstiel, who serves as the Chairperson, Dawn Carfora and Larry Robbins. Each member of the audit committee qualifies as an independent director under the NYSE corporate governance standards and the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The board of directors has determined that Ms. Phanstiel qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and possesses financial sophistication, as defined under the rules of the NYSE.

The purpose of the audit committee is to prepare the audit committee report required by the SEC to be included in our proxy statement, assist the board of directors in overseeing and monitoring (1) the quality and integrity of the financial statements, (2) compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, (4) the performance of our internal audit function (5) the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm, and oversee the Company’s cybersecurity risk management program.

The board of directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee, which is available on the Company’s website at www.butterflynetwork.com under About Us - Investors - Governance - Corporate Governance.

Our compensation committee met seven times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Our compensation committee is comprised of all independent directors and consists of Dawn Carfora, who serves as the Chairperson, S. Louise Phanstiel and Larry Robbins.

The purpose of the compensation committee is to assist the board of directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to (1) setting our compensation program and compensation of our executive officers and directors, (2) monitoring our incentive and equity-based compensation plans, (3) preparing the compensation committee report required to be included in our proxy statement under the rules and regulations of the SEC, and (4) overseeing matters relating to human capital management, including diversity and inclusion and internal pay equity.

Each year, typically during the first calendar quarter, we evaluate each executive officer’s performance for the prior year. In connection with the annual review cycle, the Chief Executive Officer meets with our executive officers to discuss our accomplishments and the individual’s performance and contributions during the prior year. The Chief Executive Officer also evaluates company performance against corporate goals. This process leads to a recommendation by the Chief Executive Officer to the compensation committee with respect to each executive officer, other than himself, as to:

These recommendations are reviewed and taken into account by the compensation committee, together with the compensation committee’s evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance and contributions. The compensation committee then makes a recommendation regarding the compensation of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the board of directors to the full board of directors, which then approves the compensation of our executive officers. Mr. DeVivo, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the board of directors, is not present when the board of directors discusses and makes decisions about his compensation. The compensation committee grants RSUs and/or other equity awards to our executive officers.

The compensation committee has historically engaged a compensation consultant to evaluate executive compensation, discuss general compensation trends, provide competitive market practice data, and assist in the design and implementation of certain elements of the executive compensation program.

Pay Governance has served as our compensation committee’s independent compensation consultant since 2024. Pay Governance reports directly to the compensation committee, and the compensation committee has the sole authority to hire, fire and direct the work of Pay Governance. As part of its engagement, Pay Governance was requested by the compensation committee to update our comparative peer group and perform an analysis of executive compensation as relates to base salary, target annual cash incentives and long-term equity incentives. Pay Governance provided recommendations for public company executive compensation, based on its review of proxy statement data, survey data, current industry trends, existing employment arrangements, appropriate dilution and overhang and other factors specifically related to us, increases to the level of base salary of certain executive officers, setting target bonus opportunities for the annual performance-based cash incentive plan, and equity awards to certain executive officers. The board of directors and compensation committee considered these recommendations, along with the Company’s and the individual’s overall performance and the unique circumstances associated with any individual executive, in determining these compensation changes, which were made to ensure better alignment with market data and in consideration of internal pay equity.

Although our board of directors and compensation committee consider the advice and recommendations of Pay Governance or any other independent compensation consultant that our compensation committee may engage as to our executive or director compensation, our board of directors and compensation committee ultimately make their own decisions about these matters.

Our compensation committee also engaged FW Cook to provide suggestions on executive officer equity grants and compensation related matters to the Company for a portion of 2024 prior to the compensation committee’s engagement of Pay Governance. Neither Pay Governance nor FW Cook provided any services to us or our compensation committee other than as described above in connection with our executive and director compensation for 2024, although we may engage Pay

Governance or another consultant to provide services for us in connection with executive and director compensation in the future. The compensation committee assessed the independence of Pay Governance and FW Cook pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that the work of Pay Governance and FW Cook for the compensation committee does not raise any conflict of interest.

The board of directors has adopted a written charter for the compensation committee, which is available on the Company’s website at www.butterflynetwork.com under About Us - Investors - Governance - Corporate Governance.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee met one time during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Our nominating and corporate governance committee is comprised of all independent directors and consists of Erica Schwartz, M.D., J.D., M.P.H., who serves as the Chairperson, Elazer Edelman and Larry Robbins. Jonathan Rothberg, Ph.D. previously served as a member of our nominating and corporate governance committee until April 2024, at which time Dr. Edelman joined our nominating and corporate governance committee.

The purpose of the nominating and corporate governance committee is to assist the board of directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to (1) identifying individuals qualified to become new board of directors members, consistent with criteria approved by the board of directors, (2) reviewing the qualifications of incumbent directors to determine whether to recommend them for reelection and selecting, or recommending that the board of directors select, the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders, (3) identifying board of directors members qualified to fill vacancies on any board of directors committee and recommending that the board of directors appoint the identified member or members to the applicable committee, (4) reviewing and recommending to the board of directors corporate governance principles applicable to the Company, (5) overseeing the evaluation of the board of directors and management and (6) handling such other matters that are specifically delegated to the committee by the board of directors from time to time.

Generally, our nominating and corporate governance committee considers candidates recommended by stockholders as well as from other sources such as other directors or officers, third party search firms or other appropriate sources. Once identified, the nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate a candidate’s qualifications in accordance with our corporate governance guidelines. Threshold criteria include: experience, skills, expertise, diversity, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability in light of other commitments, dedication and conflicts of interest. Our nominating and corporate governance committee has not adopted a formal diversity policy in connection with the consideration of director nominations or the selection of nominees. However, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider issues of diversity among its members in identifying and considering nominees for director, and strive where appropriate to achieve a diverse balance of backgrounds, perspectives, experience, age, gender, ethnicity and country of citizenship on our board of directors and its committees.

If a stockholder wishes to propose a candidate for consideration as a nominee for election to our board of directors, it must follow the procedures described in our amended and restated bylaws and in “Stockholder Proposals and Nominations for Director” at the end of this proxy statement. Any such recommendation should be made in writing to the nominating and corporate governance committee, care of our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office and should be accompanied by the following information concerning each recommending stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made:

The recommendation must also be accompanied by the following information concerning the proposed nominee:

The board of directors has adopted a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee, which is available on the Company’s website at www.butterflynetwork.com under About Us - Investors - Governance - Corporate Governance.

Our technology committee was formed in September 2021 and met three times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Our technology committee consists of Elazer Edelman, M.D., Ph.D., who serves as the Chairperson, Jonathan M. Rothberg, Ph.D., and Erica Schwartz, M.D., J.D., M.P.H. The purpose of the technology committee is to oversee science and technology matters of the Company.

The board of directors has adopted a written charter for the technology committee, which is available on the Company’s website at www.butterflynetwork.com under About Us - Investors - Governance - Corporate Governance.

Our board of directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines in accordance with the corporate governance rules of the NYSE that serve as a flexible framework within which our board of directors and its committees operate. These guidelines cover a number of areas including board membership criteria and director qualifications, director responsibilities, board agenda, meetings of non-management directors, committee responsibilities and assignments, board member access to management and independent advisors, director communications with third parties, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, and evaluation of our chief executive officer management succession planning. A copy of our corporate governance guidelines is posted on our website at www.butterflynetwork.com under About Us - Investors - Governance - Corporate Governance.

Our compensation committee has three members: Dawn Carfora, who serves as the chairperson, S. Louise Phanstiel and Larry Robbins. In 2024, none of our executive officers served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that had one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee. There are no family relationships between or among the members of our board of directors or executive officers.

Our board of directors recognizes the time, effort and energy that the Chief Executive Officer must devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman, particularly as the board of directors’ oversight responsibilities continue to grow. In addition, Mr. Robbins currently serves as the lead independent director of the board. Our board of directors believes its administration of its risk oversight function has not affected its leadership structure.

Our board of directors believes that this structure is enhanced by the independent leadership provided by our lead independent director. The lead independent director’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) presides over all meetings of the board of directors at which the Chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the non-management directors; (ii) serves as a liaison between the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and non-management directors to increase efficiency and streamline communications and apprise non-management directors of matters discussed; (iii) in consultation with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for the meeting agendas for the board of directors, and reviews the meeting schedules to assure that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items; (iv) advises the Chief Executive Officer of the board of director’s informational needs following consultation with non-management directors, has the authority to approve the materials to be delivered to the directors in advance of regular meetings of the board of directors, and provides feedback regarding the quality, quantity, and timeliness of those materials; (v) has the authority to call meetings of the independent directors; (vi) communicates with the Chief Executive Officer about decisions reached, suggestions and views expressed by non-management directors in executive sessions or outside of meetings of the board of directors (except that the chairman of the compensation committee leads the discussion of the Chief Executive Officer’s

performance and communicates the Board’s evaluation of that performance to the Chief Executive Officer); (vii) if requested by major stockholders, is available when appropriate, for consultation and direct communication in compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures; and (viii) performs such other duties as requested by independent directors.

Currently, our Chief Executive Officer is also our Chairman. Our board of directors believes that, at this time, having a combined Chief Executive Officer and Chairman is the appropriate leadership structure for the Company. In making this determination, the board of directors considered, among other matters, Mr. DeVivo’s management of our business on a day-to-day basis coupled with his direct involvement in our business operations, and believes that Mr. DeVivo is highly qualified to act as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer due to his experience, knowledge, and personality. Among the benefits of a combined Chief Executive Officer/Chairman considered by the board of directors is that such structure promotes clearer leadership and direction for the Company and allows for a single, focused chain of command to execute our strategic initiatives and business plans.

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. Our board of directors is actively involved in oversight of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight is conducted primarily by our full board of directors, which has responsibility for general oversight of risks. As part of its oversight, our board of directors receives reports by each committee chair regarding the committee’s considerations and actions. In particular, the audit committee is responsible for discussing the adequacy of our risk management activities with management and our independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee’s primary emphasis is financial risk, including our internal control over financial reporting, and it also oversees our management of exposure to certain financial risks through its periodic review of our investment policy and the allocation of our investment portfolio. In addition, the compensation committee is responsible for considering whether our compensation programs and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

At each of its meetings, the board of directors receives business updates from various members of management. These updates may identify matters that have emerged within that member of management’s scope of responsibility that involve operational, financial, legal or regulatory risks and, in these cases, the board of directors provides guidance to management. Our board of directors believes that full and open communication between management and the board of directors is essential for effective risk management and oversight.

We have adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale and other transactions in our securities by our directors, officers, employees and certain other covered persons. We believe our insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any listing standards. The policy prohibits our directors, officers, employees and certain other covered persons from illegally trading in Company securities and related derivative securities while aware of material non-public information about the Company or its securities. Additionally, certain individuals are prohibited from trading securities during various times throughout the year, and certain individuals must receive preclearance from our Chief Financial Officer or her designee prior to trading. Our insider trading policy is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Our insider trading policy also prohibits members of the board of directors, NEOs, and all other subject personnel from purchasing financial instruments designed to hedge the economic risk of owning our securities (or entering any transaction that has the same economic effect), and prohibits certain persons, including members of the board of directors and the NEOs, from pledging our securities.

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer (“PEO”), principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The text of the code of business conduct and ethics is posted on our website at https://ir.butterflynetwork.com/governance/corporate-governance/default.aspx and will be made available to stockholders without charge, upon request, in writing to the Corporate Secretary at Butterfly Network, Inc., 1600 District Avenue, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803. Disclosure regarding any amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of the code of business conduct and ethics that apply to our directors, PEO and principal financial officer will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days following the date of the amendment or waiver, unless website posting or the issuance of a press release of such amendments or waivers is then permitted by the rules of the NYSE.

Generally, stockholders and other constituents who have questions or concerns should contact our Investor Relations group at [email protected]. However, any stockholders and other interested parties who wish to address questions regarding our business directly with the board of directors, including the independent directors, or any individual director,

should direct his or her questions in writing to the Chairperson of the board of directors at Butterfly Network, Inc., 1600 District Avenue, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803. Communications will be distributed to the board of directors, or to any individual director or directors as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communications. Items that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the board of directors may be excluded, such as: junk mail and mass mailings; resumes and other forms of job inquiries; surveys; and solicitations or advertisements. In addition, any material that is unduly hostile, threatening, or illegal in nature may be excluded, provided that any communication that is filtered out will be made available to any outside director upon request.

Our compensation committee is primarily responsible for establishing and reviewing our general compensation strategy. For additional information regarding our compensation committee, see the section above captioned “Compensation Committee.”

The following table shows the total compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 for each of our NEOs.

Base salaries are a fixed amount paid to each executive for performing his or her normal duties and responsibilities. We determine the amount based on the executive’s overall performance, level of responsibility, and comparison to market data. Based on these criteria, our NEOs had the following annual base salaries for 2024:

Effective January 1, 2025, our board of directors, upon recommendation of the compensation committee, approved salary increases for Mr. DeVivo to $901,000, Ms. Getz to $618,000, and Mr. Cashman to $530,250.

Our annual bonus plan for 2024 was a cash program that rewards employees for achieving critical business and financial goals that are key indicators of ongoing operational performance and support our ongoing business strategy. The compensation committee reviews our target annual bonus opportunities each year to ensure they are competitive. The target annual incentive opportunity as a percent of annual base salary for each of our NEOs in 2024 was as follows:

The compensation committee undertook a rigorous and holistic review of performance when determining its recommendation as to final bonus payouts for the NEOs. The goals included the Company’s 2024 revenue achievement compared to internal targets, the Company’s adjusted EBITDA, and execution against various operational goals, such as the successful global launch of the Butterfly iQ3 and the initiation of two Butterfly Home Care agreements.

In early 2024, the Company established the 2024 annual bonus plan based on pre-determined goals set by the compensation committee. The plan was tied to a mix of 80% financial metrics (60% Revenue and 20% EBITDA) and 20% operational metrics based on milestone achievements. Specific goals and actual performance coupled with achievement results are outlined below,

Milestone goals for 2024 were as follows: Regulatory and Butterfly Garden were tied to specialty 510k submissions, Services/Home was tied to initiating two of the following: Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) in with home/payor partners or Contract/At Risk Hospital Partner, and Product was tied to the successful launch of iQ3 and the launch of iQ+ Bladder in the U.S. The Financial Goals included a minimum threshold of 50% achievement for any payout and a payout increase for up to 150% achievement.

Based on the review process outlined above, the compensation committee recommended, and our board of directors determined, to award each of our NEOs 125% of their annual target bonuses adjusted for personal goals in the case of Ms. Getz and Mr. Cashman, as set forth in the following table.

In addition to his 2024 annual bonus, and pursuant to the Cashman Offer Letter (as defined below), Mr. Cashman received a one-time sign-on bonus in the amount of $150,000, which is recoverable in full by the Company in the event that Mr. Cashman voluntarily terminates his employment prior to September 3, 2025 (the “Cashman Sign-On Bonus”).

Our 2024 Long-term incentive program consisted of RSUs and performance stock units (“PSUs”):

We have entered into employment agreements or offer letters with each of our executive officers, including our NEOs, which set forth their basic terms of at-will employment and establish the individual’s initial base salary, eligibility to participate in the annual bonus plan and receive equity awards, and eligibility to participate in standard employee benefits. Furthermore, some of these agreements or offer letters also provide for certain benefits under qualifying terminations. Each of these agreements are described below.

We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. DeVivo, as our President and Chief Executive Officer, to begin employment on April 24, 2023, which was subsequently amended effective June 5, 2023 and further amended effective January 1, 2024 (such agreement, as amended, the “DeVivo Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the DeVivo Employment Agreement, Mr. DeVivo is eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus with a target of 125% of his base salary. Pursuant to the DeVivo Employment Agreement, Mr. DeVivo was granted (i) 2,400,000 RSUs (the “DeVivo RSUs”), with one-third of such RSUs vesting on the grant date and the remainder of such RSUs vesting on a pro rata annual basis over the next two years and (ii) 1,600,000 PSUs (the “DeVivo Performance RSUs” and collectively with the DeVivo RSUs, the “Initial Equity Grants”), with the DeVivo Performance RSUs vesting as follows: (i) one-third vested upon the achievement of a price for the Class A common

stock equal to or exceeding $3.00 per share, (ii) one-third shall vest upon the achievement of a price for the Company’s Class A common stock equal to or exceeding $4.50 per share and (iii) one-third shall vest upon the achievement of a price for the Company’s Class A common stock equal to or exceeding $6.00 per share. In each case, the closing stock price for 20 consecutive trading days must equal or exceed the share price targets, and provided such share price is achieved prior to the fifth anniversary following the grant date of such DeVivo Performance RSU. Mr. DeVivo must continue to have a service relationship with the Company on the applicable vesting dates to vest in any shares in the Initial Equity Grants.

If Mr. DeVivo’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. DeVivo for good reason outside of the change of control period (as defined in the DeVivo Employment Agreement), subject to Mr. DeVivo’s execution of and non-revocation of a separation agreement, Mr. DeVivo will be entitled to receive: (i) a cash payment in an amount equal to one times the sum of (A) Mr. DeVivo’s then current base salary, plus (B) Mr. DeVivo’s target bonus for the then current year, plus (C) $100,000, to be paid in substantially equal installments for 12 months following such termination, (ii) subject to Mr. DeVivo’s copayment of premium amounts at the applicable active employees’ rate and proper election to continue Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) health coverage, payment of the portion of the premiums equal to the amount that we would have paid to provide health insurance to Mr. DeVivo had he remained employed with us for up 12 months following such termination, and (iii) partial acceleration of vesting of any unvested time-based equity awards equal to the portion of the award that would have vested had Mr. DeVivo remained employed by the Company for the 12-month period following such termination. If Mr. DeVivo’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. DeVivo for good reason during the change of control period, subject to Mr. DeVivo’s execution of and non-revocation of a separation agreement, Mr. DeVivo will be entitled to receive: (i) a cash payment in an amount equal to two times the sum of (A) Mr. DeVivo’s then current base salary plus (B) Mr. DeVivo’s target bonus for the then current year plus (C) $100,000, to be paid in substantially equal installments for 24 months following such termination, (ii) subject to Mr. DeVivo’s copayment of premium amounts at the applicable active employees’ rate and proper election to continue COBRA health coverage, payment of the portion of the premiums equal to the amount that we would have paid to provide health insurance to Mr. DeVivo had he remained employed with us for up 18 months following such termination, and (iii) full acceleration of vesting of any unvested equity awards (other than performance-based awards, which will vest pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement).

The DeVivo Employment Agreement also requires Mr. DeVivo to enter into a non-competition, confidentiality and intellectual property agreement with the Company.

In addition, the DeVivo Employment Agreement includes a modified 280G cutback, which provides that to the extent Aggregate Payments (as defined in the DeVivo Employment Agreement) would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the maximum amount of Aggregate Payments (after reduction) shall be one dollar less than the amount which would cause the Aggregate Payments to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if such reduced amount would result in the participant receiving a net after tax amount that exceeds the net after tax amount the participant would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction.

We entered into an offer letter with Ms. Getz, as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, to begin employment on May 2, 2022 (the “Getz Offer Letter”). Pursuant to the Getz Offer Letter, Ms. Getz receives an annual discretionary bonus with a target of 70% of her base salary and is eligible to participate in our long-term incentive program. The Getz Offer Letter also provided for an initial grant of stock options and RSUs, subject to approval from our board of directors, as well as eligibility to participate in our long-term incentive program. Ms. Getz received a lump-sum payment for reimbursement of relocation expenses. Ms. Getz is also eligible for our Executive Severance Plan (as described below).

We entered into an offer letter with Steven Cashman, as our Executive Vice President, Chief Business Officer on August 20, 2024 (the “Cashman Offer Letter”), pursuant to which Mr. Cashman commenced employment on September 3, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Cashman Offer Letter, Mr. Cashman received the Cashman Sign-On Bonus, as described under the heading captioned “Other Bonuses.” Mr. Cashman is also eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus with a target of 70% of his base salary.

Dr. Rothberg served as our Interim Chief Executive Officer from December 31, 2022 to April 24, 2023. Dr. Rothberg received no additional compensation for his role as our Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. Following April 24, 2023, Dr. Rothberg continued to serve as a director of our Board.

Our Executive Severance Plan (as defined below) ensures alignment with market data and the benefits offered by the companies in our peer group, and helps to attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent. The Executive Severance Plan provides for continued payment of base salary times a multiplier determined based on the NEO’s title or role with us if he or she is terminated by us without cause or resigns for good reason. In addition, all outstanding unvested equity awards held by an NEO who is a participant in the Executive Severance Plan will become fully vested upon termination without cause or for good reason within 12 months following a change of control. We have not provided any excise tax gross-ups to any of our NEOs in the event of a change of control.

In addition, as a condition of their employment, each of our NEOs has entered into a confidentiality agreement obligating the officer to refrain from disclosing any of our proprietary information received during the course of employment.

The following table shows grants of stock options and grants of unvested stock awards outstanding on the last day of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, including both awards subject to performance conditions and non-performance-based awards, held by each of the NEOs.

We maintain a tax-qualified retirement plan that provides eligible U.S. employees, including our NEOs, with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. All participants’ interests in their contributions are 100% vested when contributed. Contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to the participants’ directions. The retirement plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code. We match 100% percent of employee contributions, up to 2% percent of each employee’s compensation (as defined in the plan).

All of our full-time employees, including our executive officers are eligible to participate in certain medical, disability and life insurance benefit programs offered by us.

Our NEOs (and some other employees) are also entitled to additional benefits, including reimbursement of certain housing and commuting expenses, including reimbursement relocation expenses.

We do not have any nonqualified defined contribution plans or other deferred compensation plans.

Subject to certain restrictions outlined in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), all employees and NEOs are eligible to participate in the Company’s ESPP. The ESPP allows participating employees to enroll in a two-year offering period split into four purchase periods. Each purchase period lasts six months and new offering periods begin twice a year on January 1 and July 1. Participating employees must confirm their elections for payroll deduction prior to the start of the offering period and the Company then deducts that portion from each of the employee’s paychecks during the offering period, using the funds to purchase shares of Class A common stock at a discounted rate at the conclusion of the offering period.

On May 3, 2021, the compensation committee of the board of directors adopted the Butterfly Network, Inc. Executive Severance Plan, which was subsequently amended on November 10, 2021 (the “Executive Severance Plan”). Eligible

participants in the Executive Severance Plan include our executive officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Strategy and Chief Business Development Officer) and executive officers reporting directly to our Chief Executive Officer having the title of senior vice president or executive vice president.

Under the Executive Severance Plan, if we terminate a participant’s employment without cause (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) or a participant resigns for good reason (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) at any time other than during the 12 month period following a change in control (as such term is defined in the Executive Severance Plan) (the “Change in Control Period”), then the participant is eligible to receive the following benefits:

Under the Executive Severance Plan, if we terminate a participant’s employment without cause or participant resigns for good reason, during the Change in Control Period, then the participant is eligible to receive the following benefits:

A participant’s rights to any severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan are conditioned upon the participant executing and not revoking a valid separation and general release of claims agreement in a form provided by us.

The Executive Severance Plan also includes a modified 280G cutback, which provides that to the extent Total Payments (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, then the Total Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the maximum amount of Total Payments (after reduction) shall be one dollar less than the amount which would cause the Total Payments to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if such reduced amount would result in the participant receiving a net after tax amount that exceeds the net after tax amount the participant would receive if the Total Payments were not reduced and were instead subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.

The term “change in control” under the Executive Severance Plan means:

Effective October 2, 2023, we adopted a policy for the recoupment of incentive compensation (the “Clawback Policy”) in compliance with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, final SEC rules and applicable New York Stock Exchange listing standards (the “final clawback rules”), which covers our current and former executive officers, including all of our NEOs. Under the Clawback Policy, in the event that we are required to prepare a restatement of our previously issued financial statements due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws, we are required to recover (subject to certain limited exceptions described in the Clawback Policy and permitted under the final clawback rules) any cash or equity incentive-based compensation received by any current or former executive officer after the effective date of the Clawback Policy and in the three years prior to the date we are required to restate our financial statements that is in excess of the amount that would have been received based on the restated financial statements.
