Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On March 1, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Vector Acquisition Corporation II (the “Company”) appointed Patrick Nichols to serve as a Class III director. The Board also appointed Mr. Nichols to replace Mr. Alex Slusky as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Mr. Nichols is an independent director under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq Capital Market rules.

 

On March 1, 2022, Mr. Nichols executed a joinder agreement pursuant to which he became party to the Letter Agreement, dated March 9, 2021 (the “Insider Letter”), among the Company, the Sponsor and each of the officers and directors of the Company. A copy of the Insider Letter was filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Mr. Nichols also entered into an indemnification agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify him against certain claims that may arise in connection with his service as a director of the Company. The Indemnification Agreement is substantially similar to the form filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, initially filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021, as amended, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Company will reimburse Mr. Nichols for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination.

 

Other than the foregoing, Mr. Nichols is not party to any arrangement or understanding with any person pursuant to which he was appointed as a director, nor is he party to any transaction required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K involving the Company.
