February 20, 2026 (the &#x201c;Original Filing Date&#x201d;), Velo3D, Inc. (the &#x201c;Company&#x201d;) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K
(the &#x201c;Original Form 8-K&#x201d;) disclosing, under Item 5.02, certain compensation arrangements for the Company&#x2019;s Chief Executive
Officer, Arun Jeldi.z&#160;The
Original Form 8-K indicated that Mr. Jeldi would be entitled to a performance-based stock option grant and described such award as an
&#x201c;annual&#x201d; award. This characterization did not accurately reflect the Compensation Committee&#x2019;s intent.

&#160;

This
Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K (this &#x201c;Amendment&#x201d;) is being filed solely to (i) clarify that the contemplated
performance-based stock option grant is intended to be a one-time award in lieu of routine annual equity awards over a multi-year period
and not an annual award, and (ii) update the disclosure to provide additional details regarding the expected material terms of such one-time
award. Except as described in this Amendment, the Original Form 8-K remains unchanged.
