EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) is filed by Symbotic Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for the purpose of registering an additional 7,184,563 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) issuable under the Symbotic Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) and 1,436,911 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the Symbotic Inc. 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).
The number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for grant and issuance under the Omnibus Plan is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning January 1, 2023, equal to the lesser of (i) five percent of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (ii) such smaller number of shares as is determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors (“Compensation Committee” and such annual increase, the “Omnibus Evergreen Provision”). In addition, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for grant and issuance under the ESPP is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning January 1, 2023, equal to the lesser of (i) one percent of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (ii) such smaller number of shares as is determined by the Compensation Committee (such annual increase, the “ESPP Evergreen Provision” and together with the Omnibus Evergreen Provision, the “Evergreen Provisions”).
The additional shares are securities of the same class and relate to the same Omnibus Plan and ESPP as those registered pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (FileNo. 333-266829) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 12, 2022, including any filings incorporated therein and as amended from time to time (as amended, “Prior Registration Statement”).
