This letter confirms the agreement (“Agreement”) between you and Velo3D, Inc. (the “Company”) concerning the terms of your separation and offers you the separation compensation we discussed in exchange for a general release of claims and covenant not to sue.

2.Acknowledgment of Payment of Wages: By your signature below, you acknowledge that by April 19, 2024, the Company intends to have provided you with one or more final paychecks for all wages, salary, bonuses, commissions, reimbursable expenses previously submitted by you, accrued vacation (if applicable) and any similar payments due you from the Company as of the Separation Date. By signing below, you acknowledge that the Company does not owe you any other earned wages. Please promptly submit for reimbursement all final outstanding expenses, if any.

b.COBRA Payment: The Company also agrees to pay you a gross amount of $4,476.90, subject to all applicable state and federal taxes, payable in the Installment Schedule below. This amount approximately equals the sum of two (2) month of the cost of health care insurance premiums, to continue your existing health benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (as amended, “COBRA”) following the Separation Date.

d.Accelerated Vesting of select RSUs: The Company will accelerate the vesting of your vested Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) that would have vested in the 12-months following April 1, 2024. The number of shares that will vest within fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date of this agreement is 200,199 RSUs.

By signing below, you acknowledge and agree that: (X) you are receiving the separation compensation outlined in this section in consideration for waiving your rights to the claims referred to in this Agreement and that you would not otherwise be entitled to the separation compensation and (Y) in further consideration for the payment of the separation consideration outlined in this section, you hereby waive any and all rights to any payments or benefits pursuant to that certain Change in Control Agreement by and between you and the Company dated September 26, 2023 (“CIC Agreement”), which is hereby terminated in its entirety; provided that your agreement to terminate the CIC Agreement is made in reliance on the Company’s representation that as of the date it signs this Agreement it is not a party to any agreement or understanding that would be reasonably likely to lead to a “Change in Control” (as defined in the CIC Agreement) on or prior to July 1, 2024.

5.Post-Employment Obligations: You hereby acknowledge that: (a) you continue to be bound by the attached At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Arbitration, and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement,” attached hereto as Exhibit A); (b) as a result of your employment with the Company, you have had access to the Company’s proprietary and/or confidential information, and you will continue to hold all such

information in strictest confidence and not make use of it on behalf of anyone; and (c) you must, and by your signature below confirm that you shall, deliver to the Company, no later than the Separation Date, all documents and data of any nature containing or pertaining to such information, and not take with you, or otherwise retain in any respect, any such documents or data or any reproduction thereof.

6.Company Equity: You have previously been granted certain options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Options”) and certain restricted stock units covering shares of the Company’s common stock (“RSUs”), which are subject to the applicable Equity Incentive Plan and Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, by your signature below, you hereby acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the Separation Date, any portions of your Options and RSUs that are not vested as of the Separation Date, excluding the RSUs referenced in section 3(d) of this agreement, shall be forfeited and terminated in their entirety for no consideration.

a.Options: Pursuant to your Stock Option Agreements with the Company, and the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (hereafter collectively referred to as the (“Stock Option Agreements”), you were granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Options”). Because your employment is terminating on the Separation Date, none of the unvested Options can ever vest. Per the Stock Option Agreements, you will have three (3) months following the Separation Date to exercise the Unexercised Vested Shares. After this date, you will no longer have a right to exercise the Options as to any shares. You can refer to your Shareworks account for further details.

b.RSUs: Pursuant to your Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements with the Company, and the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (hereafter, collectively referred to as the “RSU Agreements”), you were granted restricted stock unit awards (the “RSU Awards”). As of the Separation Date, you have unvested shares remaining (the Unvested RSUs”). Because your employment is terminating on the Separation Date, none of the Unvested RSUs, except those listed in section 3(d) of this agreement, can ever vest or settle and will be forfeited. From and after the forfeiture, you will no longer own or have any rights to the Unvested RSUs. At all times, your rights concerning the RSU Awards will be governed by the RSU Agreements. You can refer to your Shareworks account for further details and to review the terms of your RSU Agreements. As a member of the Executive Leadership Team, you had access to confidential information. As such, you may not sell or transfer the vested RSUs for a period of one (1) month following the Separation Date.

c.The payments and promises set forth in this Agreement are in full satisfaction of all accrued salary, vacation pay, bonus and commission pay, profit-sharing, stock, stock options or other ownership interest in the Company, termination benefits or other compensation to which you may be entitled by virtue of your employment with the Company or your separation from the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you hereby release and waive any other claims you may have against the Company and its owners, agents, officers,

shareholders, employees, directors, attorneys, subscribers, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively “Releasees”), whether known or not known, including, without limitation, claims under any employment laws, including, but not limited to, claims of unlawful discharge, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, violation of public policy, defamation, physical injury, emotional distress, claims for additional compensation or benefits arising out of your employment or your separation of employment, claims under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as amended, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and any other laws and/or regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination, including, without limitation, claims based on age or under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act or Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, and/or claims based on disability or under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

10.Non-disparagement: Subject to the Protected Rights section above, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, make any disparaging oral or written statements that are disloyal or maliciously untrue (and specifically, made with knowledge of their falsity or with reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of the statements) regarding the Company and/or its products, services, directors, officers, employees and affiliated entities, including, but not limited to, any statement posted on social media (including online company review sites) or otherwise on the Internet, whether or not made anonymously or with attribution.

Specifically, should a court, arbitrator, or government agency conclude that a particular claim may not be released as a matter of law, it is the intention of the parties that the general release, the waiver of unknown claims and the covenant not to sue above shall otherwise remain effective to release any and all other claims.
