SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about Earth, today announced that the Company has completed the redemption of its outstanding public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), that were issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated March 4, 2021 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), for a redemption price of $0.01 per Public Warrant (the “Redemption Price”), that remained outstanding at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 27, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”).
On March 27, 2026, the Company issued a press release stating that, pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, on the Redemption Date it would redeem all of the outstanding Public Warrants at a redemption price of $0.01 per Public Warrant.

A total of 71,310 Public Warrants remained unexercised as of the Redemption Date, and the Company redeemed those Public Warrants for an aggregate redemption price of $713.
