Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain

Officers.

September 25, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted

the Company’s Senior Management Change of Control Severance Policy (the “COC Severance Policy”). The COC Severance

Policy is intended to provide eligible employees of the Company with reasonable financial security in their employment and position with

the Company, without distraction from uncertainties regarding their employment created by the possibility of a potential or actual change

of control of the Company.

The

COC Severance Policy applies to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s President and all Executive Vice Presidents

and Senior Vice Presidents (each, an “Eligible Employee”), which includes all of the Company’s named executive officers.

Eligible Employee is entitled to benefits under the COC Severance Policy in the event of a termination of the Eligible Employee’s

employment with the Company by the Company without “Cause” or by the Eligible Employee for “Constructive Discharge”

either (a) on or before the first anniversary of the date of a “Change of Control” (as such terms are defined in the COC

Severance Policy) or (b) in certain circumstances, within 180 days prior to the date that the Change of Control occurs (a “Qualifying

Termination”).

the event of a Qualifying Termination, an Eligible Employee will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to: (i) a multiple (which is 2.0

for the Chief Executive Officer and 1.5 for all other Eligible Employees) times the sum of the Eligible Employee’s annual base

salary and annual target performance bonus, (ii) a pro rata portion of the Eligible Employee’s annual target performance bonus

for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, and (iii) the difference between the monthly COBRA rate and the active employee

premium rate for the applicable group health coverage (i.e., medical, dental and vision) as elected by the Eligible Employee (for the

Eligible Employee and his or her eligible dependents) at the time of the Qualifying Termination multiplied by a number of months equal

to 24 for the Chief Executive Officer and 18 for each other Eligible Employee. An Eligible Employee’s right to receive this payment

and benefits is subject to his or her execution of a general release of claims against the Company.

addition, the COC Severance Policy provides that all outstanding performance-based equity awards granted after the effective date of

the COC Severance Policy shall be converted in their entirety to time-based equity awards upon the occurrence of a Change of Control

based on the assumption that the performance goals are achieved at target; provided, however, that if the transaction price in a Change

of Control transaction is below a share price vesting condition, the performance-based equity awards subject to such share price vesting

condition will be forfeited as of the Change of Control. The vesting of performance-based equity awards that are converted to time-based

equity awards shall occur upon the same vesting schedule upon which the former performance metrics would have been measured and shall

vest in full upon a Qualifying Termination. Additionally, if an Eligible Employee incurs a Qualifying Termination, all outstanding time-based

equity awards, including converted performance-based equity awards, that are held by an Eligible Employee and were granted after the

effective date of the COC Severance Policy shall become fully vested and all forfeiture restrictions shall lapse.

an Eligible Employee is entitled to a payment or benefit whether payable under the COC Severance Policy or any other plan, arrangement

or agreement with the Company that is subject to the excise tax imposed on certain so-called “excess parachute payments”

under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such payment or benefit will be reduced to the maximum amount that

may be paid without being subject to such excise tax, but only if the after-tax benefit of the reduced amount is greater than the after-tax

benefit of the unreduced amount.

The

COC Severance Policy does not change the terms of any plans or arrangements that may provide for severance benefits in case of a termination

of employment not in connection with a Change of Control. The COC Severance Policy also includes provisions intended to avoid duplication

of benefits with the severance benefits that otherwise may be payable under any other plan or arrangement upon a Qualifying Termination.

The

above summary is qualified by reference to the text of the COC Severance Policy that is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated

herein by reference.

Exhibit 10.1

AST

SpaceMobile, Inc.

Senior

Management Change of Control Severance Policy

The

purpose of this Senior Management Change of Control Severance Policy (the “Policy”) of AST SpaceMobile, Inc., a Delaware

corporation (the “Company”), is to set forth the terms and conditions regarding the payment of severance benefits

to certain “Eligible Employees” for a “Qualifying Termination” that occurs in connection with a “Change

of Control” of the Company (as those terms are defined herein). For purposes of this Policy, the Company includes any successor

to the Company as the result of a Change of Control.

This

Policy covers severance benefits payable only in case of a Qualifying Termination. If an Eligible Employee is party to an employment,

change of control, severance or other similar agreement with the Company that provides for severance benefits (an “Other Agreement”)

or is eligible for certain statutory or other mandatory severance benefits in the jurisdiction where the Eligible Employee is employed

(“Statutory Severance”), then (i) any severance benefits under any such Other Agreements or as Statutory Severance

that is triggered by a termination of employment that is not a Qualifying Termination shall continue to apply in accordance with the

applicable terms, and (ii) if severance benefits are payable under both this Policy and any Other Agreement or as Statutory Severance,

in order to avoid duplication of severance benefits, the Eligible Employee shall be eligible to receive severance benefits under whichever

arrangement provides the greatest severance benefits, but not both, as determined by the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation

Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company.

Eligibility

The

following officers of the Company (each, an “Eligible Employee”) shall be covered by this Policy:

Chief

Executive Officer;

President;

Executive

Vice Presidents; and

Senior

Vice Presidents.

Severance

Benefits

an Eligible Employee has a Qualifying Termination, the Eligible Employee shall be eligible to receive the severance payments and equity

vesting as described in this Section 2, subject to the condition in Section 3 regarding a release of claims. Exhibit A hereto

provides the definition of “Qualifying Termination,” including related definitions for “Cause,”

“Change of Control” and “Constructive Discharge.” However, if “Cause” or “Constructive

Discharge” (or similar terms) are defined in an Other Agreement for an Eligible Employee, the definition in such Other Agreement

shall control for purposes of this Policy.

Cash

Severance Payments.

For

the CEO. The Chief Executive Officer shall be entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to 200% of the sum of (i) his or her

annual base salary plus (ii) his or her annual target performance bonus.

ii.

For

Other Eligible Employees. Each other Eligible Employee shall be entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to 150% of the sum

of (i) his or her annual base salary plus (ii) his or her annual target performance bonus.

iii.

Pro

Rata Bonus. Additionally, each Eligible Employee shall be entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to his or her annual target

performance bonus, pro rated based on the portion of the year worked through the date of the Qualifying Termination.

iv.

Applicable

Base Salary and Target Bonus. The amount of base salary and annual target performance bonus for clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall

be determined immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination and without regard to any action that would have otherwise triggered

the right to claim Constructive Discharge.

Timing

of Payment. Payment of amounts under this Section 2.a shall be made in a single cash payment, less applicable tax withholdings,

as soon as practicable after the release required under Section 3 has become effective, but in no event later than 60 days after

the Qualifying Termination. Any equity amounts relating to Target Bonus shall be valued based on the trailing 5-day VWAP ending on

the date of the Qualifying Termination.

Benefits

Continuation. An Eligible Employee shall be eligible to receive an additional cash severance payment, in lieu of any benefits

continuation, in an amount equal to (i) the difference between the monthly COBRA rate and the active employee premium rate for the

applicable group health coverage (i.e., medical, dental and vision) as elected by the Eligible Employee (for the Eligible Employee

and his or her eligible dependents) at the time of the Qualifying Termination, multiplied by (ii) a number of months equal to 24

for the Chief Executive Officer and 18 for each other Eligible Employee. Payment of the amount under this Section 2.b shall be made

in a single cash payment, less applicable tax withholdings, as soon as practicable after the release required under Section 3 has

become effective, but in no event later than 60 days after the Qualifying Termination.

Treatment

of Equity Awards. The adoption of this Policy will have no effect on outstanding equity awards granted by the Company to Eligible

Employees before the date this Policy first becomes effective. For any such equity awards granted after the date this Policy first

becomes effective and while the Policy remains in effect:

Equity

Plan Controls. Nothing in this Policy shall be considered an amendment to the applicable equity compensation plan of the Company

under which the equity awards are made (the “Equity Plan”). In that regard, Equity Plan provisions regarding treatment

of equity awards if such awards are not assumed, converted or replaced in a Change of Control transaction, or other treatment of

equity awards under the terms of the transaction (such as a cash-out of awards) shall continue to apply, and this Policy shall not

restrict the discretion of the Board otherwise provided under the terms of the Equity Plan.

ii.

Double-Trigger

Vesting. Unless the terms of an equity award provide for more favorable treatment to the Eligible Employee, for an equity award

that is assumed, converted or replaced in connection with a Change of Control, the following vesting provisions shall apply notwithstanding

any provision in the applicable award agreement to the contrary:

Time-Based

Equity Awards – Time-based equity awards shall vest in full upon a Qualifying Termination. The post-employment

exercise period for any vested stock option shall be as determined under the terms of the applicable award agreement.

Performance-Based

Equity Awards – Outstanding performance-based equity awards shall be converted in their entirety to time-based

equity awards upon the occurrence of a Change of Control based on the assumption that the performance goals are achieved at target;

provided, however, that if the transaction price in a Change of Control transaction is below a share price vesting condition, the

performance-based equity awards subject to such share price vesting condition shall be forfeited as of the Change of Control. The

vesting of performance-based equity awards that are converted to time-based equity awards shall occur upon the same vesting schedule

upon which the former performance metrics would have been measured and shall vest in full upon a Qualifying Termination.

Release. As

a condition to the receipt of severance payments under this Policy, the Compensation Committee may require that the Eligible Employee

execute and deliver to the Company a release of claims against the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The

form of release shall be provided to the Eligible Employee on or before the date of the Qualifying Termination, and the Eligible

Employee shall thereafter have 21 days (or such longer period as required by applicable law) to execute the release, which shall

become effective upon execution, or later upon any expiration of any required revocation period. In all events, the release must

become effective by no later than 60 days after the Qualifying Termination in order for the Eligible Employee to be eligible to receive

the severance benefits provided under Section 2.

Authority. The

provisions of this Policy have been established by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Compensation Committee maintains

the right to modify or terminate this Policy at any time, with or without prior notification.

Return

of Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, if an Eligible Employee receives any severance payments

under this Policy and the Company subsequently determines that the Eligible Employee had engaged in conduct which constituted Cause

for termination of employment, such Eligible Employee shall reimburse the Company for all payments and the value of all benefits

received by the Eligible Employee which would not have been made if the Eligible Employee had been terminated for Cause.

Section

409A. It is intended that the payments and benefits set forth in Section 2 are, to the greatest extent possible, exempt

from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”), and the Policy shall be construed

and interpreted accordingly. However, if the Company determines that all or a portion of the payments and benefits provided under

the Policy to an Eligible Employee constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A, (i) the Eligible Employee’s

Qualifying Termination shall occur upon the Eligible Employee’s “separation from service” with the Company within

the meaning of Section 409A, and (ii) if the Eligible Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section

409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, any

payment under the Policy shall be delayed until the first payroll date following the earlier of (i) the Eligible Employee’s

death or (ii) six months and one day after the Eligible Employee’s “separation from service” (within the meaning

of Section 409A). For purposes of Section 409A, each payment provided under the Policy shall be treated as a separate payment. The

Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under the Policy comply with Section 409A and in no event

shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by an

Eligible Employee on account of noncompliance with Section 409A.

Section

280G. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Policy or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, if

any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Company or its affiliates to an Eligible Employee or for the Eligible

Employee’s benefit pursuant to the terms of this Policy or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute “parachute

payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and would, but for this Section 7, be subject to

the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provision thereto) or any similar tax imposed

by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”),

then the Covered Payments shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion

of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing (i) or (ii) results in the Eligible Employee’s

receipt on an after-tax basis of the greatest amount of benefits after taking into account the applicable federal, state, local and

foreign income, employment and excise taxes (including the Excise Tax). Any determination required under this Section 7 shall be

made by the Company in its sole discretion.

Effective

September 25, 2026

Exhibit

Definitions

“Cause”

shall mean:

the

Eligible Employee’s willful failure to perform the Eligible Employee’s duties with the Company (other than any such failure

resulting from the Eligible Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), including the Eligible Employee’s

failure to follow any lawful directive from the Board within the reasonable scope of the Eligible Employee’s duties and the

Eligible Employee’s failure to correct the same (if capable of correction, as determined by the Board in its reasonable judgment),

within thirty (30) days after a written notice is delivered to the Eligible Employee, which notice specifically identifies the manner

in which the Board believes that the Eligible Employee has not performed the Eligible Employee’s duties;

the

Eligible Employee’s commission of, indictment for or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony crime or a crime

of moral turpitude or involving dishonesty or a crime related to the Eligible Employee’s performance of duties for the Company;

the

Eligible Employee’s breach of any material obligation under his or her employment agreement or any other written agreement

with the Company or its affiliates or under any applicable policy of the Company or its affiliates (including any code of conduct

or harassment policies), and the Eligible Employee’s failure to correct the same (if capable of correction, as determined by

the Board), within thirty (30) days after a written notice is delivered to the Eligible Employee, which notice specifically identifies

the manner in which the Board believes that the Eligible Employee has breached such material obligation;

any

act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or misappropriation from the Company or its affiliates by the Eligible Employee;

the

Eligible Employee’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection with the performance of the Eligible Employee’s

duties with the Company or a material breach by the Eligible Employee of his or her fiduciary duty to the Company or its affiliates;

the

Eligible Employee’s commission of an act of material dishonesty.

“Change of Control” shall mean the date in which any one of the following

events occur:

any

“person” or “group” (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

as amended from time to time (the “Exchange Act”), but excluding any employee benefit plan of such person and

its subsidiaries, and any person or entity acting in its capacity as trustee, agent or other fiduciary or administrator of any such

plan, and excluding the Permitted Holders (as defined in the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement

of AST & Science, LLC, as may be amended and/or restated from time to time) becomes the “beneficial owner” (within

the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of shares of Common Stock, Class B Common Stock,

Class C Common Stock (as such terms are defined in the AST SpaceMobile, Inc. 2024 Incentive Award Plan), preferred stock and/or any

other class or classes of capital stock of the Company (if any) representing in the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the

voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote;

the

stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement

or series of related agreements for the sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by the Company of all or substantially

all of the Company’s assets (including a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the AST & Science, LLC); or

there

is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or entity, and, immediately after the consummation

of such merger or consolidation, the voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not continue

to represent, or are not converted into, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting

securities of the person resulting from such merger or consolidation or, if the surviving company is a subsidiary, the ultimate parent

thereof.

Notwithstanding

the foregoing, (i) a “Change of Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction

or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class

C Common Stock, preferred stock and/or any other class or classes of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction

or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in and voting control over, and own substantially

all of the shares of, an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction

or series of transactions and (ii) if a Change of Control constitutes a payment event that provides for the deferral of compensation

that is subject to Section 409A, to the extent required to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A, the transaction

or event described in subsections (a), (b) or (c) with respect to such payment shall only constitute a Change of Control for purposes

of the payment timing if such transaction also constitutes a “change of control event,” as defined in Treasury Regulation

Section l .409A-3(i)(5) (it being understood that vesting may accelerate upon a Change of Control, even if payment or settlement

may not accelerate pursuant to this clause (ii)).

The

Board shall have full and final authority, which shall be exercised in its sole discretion, to determine conclusively whether a Change

of Control has occurred pursuant to the above definition, the date of the occurrence of such Change of Control and any incidental

matters relating thereto; provided that any exercise of authority in conjunction with a determination of whether a Change of Control

is a “change of control event” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) shall be consistent with such

regulation.

“Constructive

Discharge” shall mean an Eligible Employee’s termination of employment with the Company as the result

of:

material diminution in Eligible Employee’s base salary (other than a reduction that is applied proportionately with respect

to senior executive officers of the Company generally);

material diminution in or other substantial adverse alteration in the nature or scope of the Eligible Employee’s responsibilities,

authority, or duties with the Company from those in effect on the effective date of this Policy; or

change in the geographic location of the principal place of business that increases Eligible Employee’s one-way commute by

more than 30 miles.

the event of the occurrence of any such triggering event, the Eligible Employee shall have the right to terminate the Eligible Employee’s

employment with the Company for Constructive Discharge, upon delivery of written notice to the Company no later than the close of business

on the sixtieth (60th) day following the effective date of the applicable triggering event; provided, however, that such termination

shall not be effective until the expiration of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of such written notice if the Company has

not cured such Constructive Discharge triggering event within the 30-day period. If Company so effects a cure, the Constructive Discharge

notice shall be deemed rescinded and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such notice and lapse of time shall not be

required with respect to any event or circumstance which is the same or substantially the same as an event or circumstance with respect

to which notice and an opportunity to cure has been given within the previous six (6) months, and in such case the Eligible Employee

may terminate employment with the Company for Constructive Discharge within sixty (60) days following the occurrence of such event.

“Qualifying

Termination” shall mean the termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company either by action of

the Company without Cause or by action of the Eligible Employee for Constructive Discharge, in either case if such termination of

employment occurs during the period beginning on the date of the Change of Control and ending on the first anniversary of the date

of the Change of Control. In addition, if (A) a termination of employment by action of the Company without Cause or by action of

the Eligible Employee for Constructive Discharge occurs within one hundred eighty (180) days before the date on which the Change

of Control occurs, and (B) it is reasonably demonstrated by the Eligible Employee that such termination of employment or events constituting

Constructive Discharge was (x) at the request of a third party who had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control

or (y) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control, then such termination of employment shall be

deemed a Qualifying Termination upon the occurrence of the Change of Control within such 180-day period. In that case, the Eligible

Employee shall receive any severance payments or benefits to which the Eligible Employee may otherwise be entitled without regard

to this Policy before the Change of Control (e.g., under an Other Agreement or as Statutory Severance), and upon the Change of Control

(i) such prior severance payments and benefits shall cease, and (ii) the Eligible Employee shall receive the severance payments provided

under Section 2 of this Policy (paid upon, or within 10 days after, the Change of Control), reduced by the amount of any severance

payments or benefits received before the Change of Control in order to prevent duplication of benefits.
