Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2024. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024 due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
Notwithstanding the ineffective disclosure controls and procedures due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that that the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Gogo Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f) under the Exchange Act and based upon the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“the COSO framework”). Gogo’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of its published financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The management of Gogo, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have assessed the effectiveness of Gogo’s internal control over financial reporting based on the COSO framework. Based on our assessment, the Company’s management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024, due to the material weaknesses described below.
Our assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 excludes the acquisition of Satcom Direct which was acquired on December 3, 2024, and whose financial statements constitute approximately 46% of total assets and 9% of total revenue of the consolidated financial statement amounts of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Despite the exclusion of Satcom Direct from our assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, we identified a material weakness in controls over the financial close and reporting process and controls over purchase accounting as a result of the Satcom Direct acquisition. Specifically, there were insufficient effective controls in place to ensure the completeness and accuracy of Satcom Direct’s financial reporting information that is consolidated into Gogo’s financial statements. This material weakness was due to the following deficiencies at Satcom Direct:
• Satcom Direct had ineffective general information technology controls (“GITCs”) over relevant information technology (“IT”) systems. Specifically, Satcom Direct management did not design and maintain effective GITCs for information systems and applications that are relevant to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Specifically, they did not design and maintain: (i) sufficient user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs and data to appropriate company personnel and (ii) program change management controls to ensure that information technology, or IT, program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately with appropriate segregation of duties.
• Satcom Direct’s management did not design and implement control activities necessary to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements.
We also identified a material weakness in controls over the accounting for the Satcom Direct acquisition. Specifically, management had designed control activities over the accounting for the acquisition and related preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquired assets and liabilities performed by third-party specialists, however, management did not effectively implement them due to the timing of the acquisition.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, which report is included on Page 102 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption entitled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Remediation of the identified material weaknesses and strengthening our internal control environment will require a substantial effort throughout 2025. Management has commenced its remediation efforts over the material weaknesses described above as follows:
• Designing and implementing controls over Satcom Direct’s GITCs relating to user access and program change management over certain IT systems that support financial reporting processes at Satcom Direct.
• Designing and implementing internal controls over financial reporting for processes specific to Satcom Direct.
• Implementing the controls the Company has designed related to complex accounting transactions, including those related to acquisitions, such as, the review of third-party specialists’ work and the reasonableness of key assumptions, methodologies, and underlying data used in the accounting and purchase price allocation.
• Recruiting additional qualified personnel with expertise in public company financial reporting, accounting and internal controls to strengthen our accounting function.
While we believe the steps taken to date and those planned for implementation will improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have not completed all remediation efforts identified herein. Accordingly, as we continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the material weaknesses described above, we have performed and will continue to perform additional procedures and to employ additional appropriate tools and resources.
We will test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the new and existing controls in future periods. The material weaknesses cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls have been implemented and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the identification of the material weaknesses described above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inducement Awards
As discussed above, on December 3, 2024, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Satcom Direct, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. In connection with the acquisition and as an inducement for Messrs. Christopher Moore and Zachary Cotner (each an “Executive” and together, the “Executives”) to join the Company as our new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, the Company granted certain inducement awards pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4) (the “Inducement Awards”) to the Executives, to promote their retention and create an alignment of interests between them and the Company’s shareholders.
The Inducement Awards were granted by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and included the following awards: (i) 1,000,000 time-vesting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 1,000,000 performance stock units (“PSUs”) (representing the target number of shares in the case of PSUs) to Mr. Moore; and (ii) 50,000 RSUs and 50,000 PSUs (representing the target number of shares in the case of PSUs) to Mr. Cotner. The RSUs will vest in equal annual installments over the five-year period following the Closing. The PSUs are subject to performance-based vesting and will vest when the performance-based vesting conditions are met. The PSUs are divided into two equal tranches. The first tranche will vest on the earlier of (i) the date the value of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $20.00 per share for a period of 90 consecutive trading days following the six-month anniversary of the Closing, and (ii) the date the Company consummates a change in control pursuant to which the price per share of Common Stock in connection with such change in control (the “Change in Control Price”) equals or exceeds $20.00 per share. The second tranche will vest on the earlier of (i) the date the value of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $25.00 per share for a period of 90 consecutive trading days following the six-month anniversary of the Closing, and (ii) the date the Company consummates a change in control pursuant to which the Change in Control Price equals or exceeds $25.00 per share. Vesting of the PSUs and RSUs is conditioned on
100
the Executive’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date, subject to accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of specified employment termination and change in control events. Each of the Inducement Awards was granted consistent with the terms of each Executive’s employment agreement previously entered into with Gogo Business Aviation LLC. Though not awarded pursuant to the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), the Inducement Awards have been issued subject to the terms and conditions of the 2024 Plan.
The foregoing summary of the Inducement Awards is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2024 Plan and the applicable award agreements, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.53 and 10.54 respectively, to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
(b) During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Gogo Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Gogo Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses identified below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, of the Company and our report dated March 14, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
As described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Satcom Direct, LLC and certain of its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Satcom Direct”), which were acquired on December 3, 2024, and whose financial statements constitute 46% of total assets and 9% of total revenue of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Satcom Direct.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management's assessment.
Management identified a material weakness in controls over the financial close and reporting process and purchase accounting controls as a result of the Satcom Direct acquisition. Specifically, there were insufficient effective controls in place to ensure the completeness and accuracy of Satcom Direct’s financial reporting information that is consolidated into the Company’s financial statements. This material weakness was due to the following deficiencies at Satcom Direct:
• Satcom Direct had ineffective general information technology controls (“GITCs”) over relevant information technology (“IT”) systems. Specifically, Satcom Direct management did not design and maintain effective GITCs for information systems and applications that are relevant to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Specifically, they did not design and maintain: (i) sufficient user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and adequately
102
restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs and data to appropriate company personnel and (ii) program change management controls to ensure that information technology, or IT, program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately with appropriate segregation of duties.
• Satcom Direct management did not design and implement control activities necessary to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements.
Management also identified a material weakness in controls over the accounting for the Satcom Direct acquisition. Specifically, management had designed control activities over the accounting for the acquisition and related preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquired assets and liabilities performed by third-party specialists, however, management did not effectively implement them due to the timing of the acquisition.
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, of the Company, and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements.
