PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

Our charter provides that our directors shall not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, as amended. Our bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.

BigBear.ai Intermediate Holdings, LLC, BigBear.ai, LLC, Pangiam Purchaser, LLC, Pangiam Intermediate II Holdings, LLC, Pangiam Holdings, LLC, Pre, LLC, veriScan, LLC and 214 Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Trueface are organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. The Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreements of BigBear.ai Intermediate Holdings, LLC, BigBear.ai, LLC, Pangiam Purchaser, LLC, and Pre, LLC; the Limited Liability Company Agreements of Pangiam Intermediate II Holdings, LLC, Pangiam Holdings, LLC, and veriScan, LLC; and the Certificate of Incorporation of 214 Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Trueface provide for the indemnification of any member, manager or officer to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, except that neither entity will indemnify a member, manager or officer if the damage, loss or liability arises from such member, manager or officer’s fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, intentional and material breach of the respective entity’s limited liability company agreement or any other agreement between such member, manager or officer and the respective entity, or, in the case of a criminal matter, knowingly unlawful action.

BigBear.ai Federal, LLC (f/k/a NuWave Solutions, L.L.C.) is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland. Maryland law allows a limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member, agent, or employee from and against any and all claims and demands, except in the case of action or failure to act by the member, agent, or employee which constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness. The Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, as amended, of BigBear.ai Federal, LLC (f/k/a NuWave Solutions, L.L.C.) provides for the indemnification of any member, manager or officer to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act, except that the entity will not indemnify a member, manager or officer if the damage, loss or liability arises from such member, manager or officer’s fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, intentional and material breach of the entity’s operating agreement or any other agreement between such member, manager or officer and the entity or, in the case of a criminal matter, knowingly unlawful action.

Pangiam Labs, LLC and Linkware, LLC are organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Virginia Limited Liability Company Act provides that a limited liability company may indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, and to pay for or reimburse any member or manager or other person for reasonable expenses incurred by such a person who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding. The Amended and Restated Operating Agreements of Pangiam Labs, LLC and Linkware, LLC provide for the indemnification of any member, manager or officer to the fullest extent permitted by the Virginia Limited Liability Company Act, except that neither entity will indemnify a member, manager or officer if the damage, loss or liability arises from such member, manager or officer’s fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, intentional and material breach of the respective entity’s operating agreement or any other agreement between such member, manager or officer and the respective entity or, in the case of a criminal matter, knowingly unlawful action.

II-1

ProModel, LLC is organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Uniform Limited Liability Company Act of 2016, (“PULLCA”) provides that a limited liability company will indemnify and hold harmless a person with respect to any claim or demand against the person and any debt, obligation or other liability incurred by the person by reason of the person’s former or present capacity as a member or manager, if the claim, demand, debt, obligation or other liability does not arise from the person’s breach of certain sections of the PULLCA relating to limitations on distributions, management of the limited liability company, and standards of conduct for members and managers. The PULLCA further provides that indemnification under the PULLCA may not be made in any case where the act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to constitute recklessness, willful misconduct or a knowing violation of law. The Limited Liability Company Agreement of ProModel, LLC, or the “Agreement”, provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the company will indemnify and hold harmless each covered person (as defined in the Agreement) from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the covered person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its management of the affairs of the company or which relates to or arises out of the company or its property, business or affairs. The Agreement further provides that a covered person will not be entitled to indemnification under the Agreement with respect to any claim with respect to which such covered person has engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or any claim initiated by such covered person unless such claim (or part thereof) was brought to enforce such covered person’s rights to indemnification under the Agreement or was authorized or consented to by the member. The Agreement also provides that none of the covered persons will be liable to the company or any other person for certain acts or omissions taken or omitted by a covered person in the reasonable belief that any such act or omission is in or is not contrary to the best interests of the company and is within the scope of authority granted to such covered person by the Agreement, provided such act or omission does not constitute fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant, hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(a)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

II-3

(b)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and

(c)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(a)

any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(b)

any “free writing prospectus” relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(c)

the portion of any other “free writing prospectus” relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(d)

any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(5)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-4

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Columbia, Maryland on the 10th day of May 2024.
