CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy, plans and prospects, existing and prospective products, research and development costs, timing and likelihood of success, and plans, market growth, trends, events and our objectives of management for future operations and results, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the risks, uncertainties and assumptions described under the section in this prospectus titled “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, including, without limitation, the following:

v

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this prospectus will prove to be accurate. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances, or otherwise.

You should read this prospectus completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus before making an investment in our Class A common stock or warrants. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects could be materially and adversely affected if any of these risks occurs, and as a result, the market price of our Class A common stock and warrants could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth below.

Risks Relating to Berkshire Grey’s Business and Industry

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Berkshire Grey’s Business and Industry” section to “ we,” “ us” and “ our” refer to Berkshire Grey as it currently exists following the consummation of the Business Combination and to Legacy Berkshire Grey as it existed prior to the consummation of the Business Combination

We have incurred net losses in every year since our inception, we anticipate expenses will increase in the future and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

We have incurred net losses in each year since our incorporation in 2013, including net losses of $57.6 million for 2020 and $49.5 million for 2019. We believe we will continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flow in the near-term as we continue to invest significantly in our business, in particular across our research and development efforts and sales and marketing programs, and such losses may fluctuate significantly in any given quarter. We expect to incur significant expenditures for the foreseeable future in connection with such investments, and we expect these expenditures to increase as we continue to expand our operations into new geographic areas.

These investments may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business, and our operating results may fluctuate significantly or may fall below the expectations of investors. In addition, as a newly-public company, we expect to incur significant additional legal, accounting, directors and officers insurance and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. These increased expenditures may make it harder for us to achieve and maintain future profitability. Revenue growth and growth in our customer base may not be achievable or sustainable, and we may not achieve sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including due to the other risks described in this prospectus, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. As a result, the amount of our future losses is uncertain, our losses may be larger than anticipated and we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. If we do not successfully address these risks, we may not achieve profitability when expected, or at all, and even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to maintain or increase profitability. Furthermore, if our future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if we have future negative cash flow or losses resulting from our investments in acquiring customers, further developing our technology or expanding our operations, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have generated substantially all of our revenue to date, and expect to generate a significant portion of our future revenue, from a limited number of customers.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a limited number of customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, SoftBank, FedEx, and Meijer comprised approximately 38%, 30%, and 19% of our revenue respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2020, Target Corporation and SoftBank Robotics Corp., an affiliate of SB SVF II, a related party of Berkshire Grey, comprised approximately 70% and 30% of our revenue,

6

respectively. We have master system purchase agreements with these customers that permit them to order systems from time to time, and orders placed may be cancelled for convenience subject to payment of costs incurred by us. Historically, our revenue has been dependent upon a limited number of customers and we expect that we will continue to derive a majority of our revenue from a limited number of significant customers in future years. No assurance can be given that our significant customers will continue to do business with us or that they will maintain their historical levels of business. If our relationship with any significant customer were to cease, then our revenues would decline and negatively impact our results of operations. Any such decline could increase our accumulated deficit and result in a need to raise additional capital to fund our operations. If our expectations regarding future revenues are inaccurate, we may be unable to reduce costs in a timely manner to adjust for revenue shortfalls.

The majority of our contracts permit our customers to terminate their orders or such customer relationship for convenience, and such terminations, if effected, would adversely affect our future revenues and could have a significant negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from customers with whom we have entered into contracts that can be terminated by the customer for any reason, which may result in our failure to realize a significant portion of the value of the contract with such customer. If our relationship with any significant customer were to deteriorate or cease, we would be exposed to the risk that such customer contract may be terminated early. To the extent that we do not maintain our existing level of business with our significant or other customers, or such customers cancel existing contracts, we will need to attract new customers or win new business with existing customers, or our results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

We have generated substantially all of our revenue to date from three product solutions. We may experience significant delays in the design, development, production and launch of new solutions, and we may be unable to successfully commercialize additional solutions on our planned timelines.

We are reliant on the marketing and sale of our current solutions for the majority of our revenue earned to date. If we are unable to sell these solutions to new customers or sell a higher volume of these solutions to our existing customers in the future, it will be difficult for us to achieve and maintain consistent profitability. In addition, if we are unable to develop new solutions and services, or if we experience significant delays or incur significant expenses in the design, development, production and launch of new solutions and services, then we may be unable to successfully commercialize additional solutions on our planned timelines, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our mobile solutions use lithium-ion battery cells, which have been observed to catch fire or vent smoke and flame in limited circumstances, and such events have raised concerns, and future events may lead to additional concerns, about the batteries we use, which could have a negative impact on our sales or our reputation.

The battery packs in certain of our solutions make use of lithium-ion cells. We also currently intend to make use of lithium-ion cells in battery packs on future solutions we may produce. On rare occasions, lithium-ion cells can rapidly release the energy they contain by venting smoke and flames in a manner that can ignite nearby materials as well as other lithium-ion cells. Extremely rare incidents of laptop computers, cell phones and lithium-ion battery packs catching fire have raised questions and concerns about the safety of these cells. Negative public perceptions regarding the suitability of lithium-ion cells, or any future incident involving lithium-ion cells, such as a vehicle or other device or product catching fire, could seriously harm our business, even if such incident does not involve us or our solutions. Although there have not been any observations or experiences of fire or smoke incidents associated with the lithium-ion cells incorporated within our solutions, such incidents could result in a number of increased costs and expenses being imposed on our business, including costs resulting from regulatory compliance obligations in connection with regulatory scrutiny of the industry resulting from any such future incidents.

7

Our sales channels are currently limited, and our business may not grow as rapidly as we expect if we do not successfully develop other sales channels such as business partnerships and strategic alliances.

To maintain and grow our business, we must maintain and expand our sales channels. As of June 30, 2021, our sole sales channel was through direct sales to customers. If we are unable to maintain and expand our sales channels, our growth prospects would be limited and our business or ability to realize future revenues may be harmed. We must also continuously monitor and evaluate emerging sales channels. If we fail to establish a presence in an important developing sales channel, our business and growth prospects could be harmed.

We currently depend on a limited number of third-party contract manufacturers for substantially all of our solution manufacturing. If these third-party manufacturers experience any delay, disruption or quality control problems in their operations, we could lose market share and our brand may be damaged.

While there are several potential manufacturers for most of our solutions, substantially all of our manufacturing needs are currently supplied by two third-party manufacturers, including Columbia Tech, a wholly owned subsidiary of Coghlin Companies, Inc., and Plexus Corp. We do not have ongoing manufacturing agreements with these manufacturers and we can change manufacturers at any time. In most cases, we rely on these two manufacturers to procure components and, in some cases, subcontract engineering work. Our reliance on limited number of contract manufacturers involves a number of risks, including, but not limited to:

If any of our third-party contract manufacturers experience a delay, disruption or quality control problems in their operations, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic, or if a primary third-party contract manufacturer does not renew its agreement with us, our operations could be significantly disrupted and our solution shipments to customers could be delayed. Qualifying a new manufacturer and commencing volume production is expensive and time consuming. Ensuring that a contract manufacturer is qualified to manufacture our solutions to our standards is time consuming. In addition, there is no assurance that a contract manufacturer can scale its production of our solutions at the volumes and in the quality that we require. If a contract manufacturer is unable to do these things, we may have to move production for the solutions to a new or existing third-party manufacturer, which would take significant effort and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

As we contemplate moving manufacturing into different jurisdictions, we may be subject to additional significant challenges in ensuring that quality, processes, and costs, among other issues, are consistent with our expectations. For example, while we expect our third-party contract manufacturers to be responsible for costs assessed on us because of failures of the solutions, there is no assurance that we will be able to collect such reimbursements from these manufacturers, which would require us to take on additional risk for potential failures of our solutions. There may also be a number of other hindrances in securing third-party contract manufacturers in new jurisdictions, including hurdles that are regulatory in nature, financial or otherwise, that could significantly increase our costs of retaining such manufacturers and affect our results of operations.

8

In addition, because we use a limited number of third-party contract manufacturers, increases in the prices charged may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, as we may be unable to find a contract manufacturer who can supply to us at a lower price or a similar quality for components. As a result, the loss of a limited source supplier could adversely affect our relationships with our customers and our results of operations and financial condition.

All of our solutions must satisfy safety and regulatory standards, and some of our solutions may also need to receive regulatory certifications. Working with third-party consultants, we conduct tests, internally and through contract agencies, that support our applications for most regulatory approvals for our solutions. In the future we may outsource some of these testing responsibilities to our third-party contract manufacturers. If we or our contract manufacturers fail to timely and accurately conduct these tests, we may be unable to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals or certifications to sell our solutions in certain jurisdictions. As a result, we would be unable to sell our solutions and our sales and profitability could be reduced, our relationships with our sales channels could be harmed and our reputation and brand would suffer.

If our suppliers or other third-party vendors become unavailable or produce inadequate supplies or services, we may be unable to obtain necessary hardware, software and operational support, and our customer relationships, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We acquire certain of our supplies and services, which are critical to the ongoing operation and future growth of our business, from several third parties. Generally, our third-party contract manufacturers contract directly with component suppliers to manage their supply chains. If one of our contract manufacturers has supply chain disruption, or our relationship with our contract manufacturer terminates, we could experience delays. We also source some materials directly from suppliers. While most manufacturing equipment and materials for our solutions are available from multiple suppliers, certain of those items are only available from limited sources. Should any of these suppliers become unavailable or inadequate, or impose terms unacceptable to us, such as increased pricing terms, we could be required to spend a significant amount of time and expense to develop alternate sources of supply, and we may not be successful in doing so on terms acceptable to us, or at all. As a result, the loss of a limited source supplier could adversely affect our relationship with our customers as well as our results of operations and financial condition.

The facilities of our third-party contract manufacturers, our suppliers and our customers are vulnerable to disruption due to natural or other disasters, strikes, pandemics (including COVID-19) and other events beyond our control.

A major earthquake, fire, tsunami, hurricane, cyclone or other disaster, such as a major flood, seasonal storms, nuclear event or terrorist attack affecting the facilities of our third-party manufacturers, our suppliers or our customers, or the areas in which they are located, could significantly disrupt our or their operations and delay or prevent product shipment or installation during the time required to repair, rebuild or replace such damaged facilities. These delays could be lengthy and costly. Any delay in the production, shipment and installation of our solutions could impact the period in which we recognize the revenue related to that sale. Additionally, customers may delay purchases of our solutions until operations return to normal. Even if we are able to respond quickly to a disaster, the continued effects of the disaster could create uncertainty in our business operations. In addition, concerns about terrorism, the effects of a terrorist attack, political turmoil, labor strikes, war or the outbreak of epidemic or pandemic diseases (including the outbreak or persistence of COVID-19) could have a material and negative effect on our operations and sales.

Our existing and planned global operations subject us to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business and operating results. Our business is subject to risks associated with selling our solutions in locations outside the United States.

In 2020, we derived approximately 30% of our revenues from one customer in one country outside the United States. Revenues derived outside the United State increased to 38% during the six months ended June 30,

9

2021, and we plan to increase our international operations in the future. Accordingly, we expect to increasingly face significant operational risks and expenses from doing business internationally.

Our international operating results may be affected by volatility in currency exchange rates and our ability to effectively manage our currency transaction risks. We would incur currency transaction risks if we were to enter into either a purchase or a sale transaction using a different currency from the currency in which we report revenue. In such cases, we may suffer an exchange loss because we do not currently engage in currency swaps or other currency hedging strategies to address this risk. As we realize our strategy to expand internationally, our exposure to currency risks may increase. Given the volatility of exchange rates, we can give no assurance that we will be able to effectively manage our currency transaction risks or that any volatility in currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Other risks and uncertainties we face from our global operations include, but are not limited to:

10

Our failure to effectively manage the risks and uncertainties associated with our existing and planned global operations could limit the future growth of our business and adversely affect our business and operating results.

In the future, some of our solutions may contain customer-specific provisions that may impact the period in which we recognize the related revenue under GAAP.

Some customers that purchase AI-enabled robotics and automation solutions from us may require specific, customized factors relating to their intended use or the installation of the solutions in their facilities. These specific, customized factors are occasionally required by the customers to be included in our commercial agreements relating to the purchases. As a result, our responsiveness to our customers’ specific requirements has the potential to impact the period in which we recognize the revenue relating to that sale.

Similarly, some of our customers must build or prepare facilities to install a subset of our AI-enabled robotics and automation solutions, and the completion of such projects can be unpredictable, which can impact the period in which we recognize the revenue relating to that sale.

We may face liability if our solutions are used by our customers to handle dangerous materials.

Customers may use our AI-enabled robotics and automation solutions to handle materials in a harmful way or in a manner that could otherwise be dangerous. While our AI-enabled robotics and automation solutions are safe when used properly and we endeavor to limit our liability for misuse and use of our solutions with hazardous materials, there can be no assurance that we will not be held liable if someone were injured or killed while using one of our solutions.

Any unauthorized control or manipulation of our solutions or robots, or theft or vandalism of our robots, could negatively impact our ability to conduct business and compromise the integrity of our solutions, resulting in significant data losses to our Company and our customers or the theft of intellectual property, damage to our reputation and significant liability to third parties.

Our solutions contain complex information technology systems. While we have implemented security measures intended to prevent unauthorized access to our information technology networks, our solutions and their systems, our security measures may not be sufficient to prevent malicious entities from attempting to gain unauthorized access to modify, alter and use such networks, solutions and systems to gain control of, or to change, our solutions’ functionality, user interface and performance characteristics or from gaining access to data stored in or generated by our solutions or in our customer’s systems. Any unauthorized access to or control of our solutions or their systems or any loss of data could result in costly legal claims or government investigations. In addition, regardless of their accuracy, reports of unauthorized access to our solutions, their systems or data, as well as other factors that may result in the perception that our solutions, their systems or data are capable of being hacked, may harm our brand, prospects and operating results.

Laws and regulations governing the robotics and AI automation industries are still developing and may restrict our business or increase the costs of our solutions, making our solutions less competitive or adversely affecting our revenue growth.

We are generally subject to laws and regulations relating to the robotics and AI automation industries in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business or in some circumstances, of those jurisdictions in which we offer our solutions, as well as the general laws and regulations that apply to all businesses, such as those related to

11

privacy and personal information, tax and consumer protection. These laws and regulations are developing and vary from one jurisdiction to another and future legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political pressures, attitudes and climates, as well as personal biases, may have a material and adverse impact on our operations and financial results.

Global economic, political and social conditions and uncertainties in the markets that we serve, including risks and uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, may adversely impact our business.

Our performance depends on the financial health and strength of our customers, which in turn is dependent on the economic conditions of the markets in which we and our customers operate. The recent declines in the global economy, continuing geopolitical uncertainties and other macroeconomic factors all affect the spending behavior of potential customers. The economic uncertainty in the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries may cause end-users to further delay or reduce technology purchases and could possibly cause a national or global recession.

We also face risks from financial difficulties or other uncertainties experienced by our suppliers, distributors or other third parties on which we rely resulting from geopolitical tensions. If third parties are unable to supply us with required materials or components or otherwise assist us in operating our business, our business could be harmed.

For example, the possibility of an ongoing trade war between the United States and China may impact the cost of raw materials, finished products or components used in our solutions and our ability to sell our solutions in, or source materials from, China. Other changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment could also adversely affect our business. In addition, the United Kingdom’s formal exit from the European Union, or the potential for other countries to decide to leave the European Union, may have an effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In extreme cases, we could experience interruptions in production due to the processing of customs formalities or reduced customer spending in the wake of weaker economic performance.

Our business is currently concentrated in the United States. Future exposure to local economies, regional downturns or severe weather or catastrophic occurrences or other disruptions or events may materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, 30% of our revenue was derived from a customer in Japan. We expect to see revenue from other markets in future periods. Local and regional conditions in additional these markets may differ significantly from prevailing conditions in the United States or in other parts of the world. Our inability to effectively adapt to any shift, including failing to increase revenue from other markets, could adversely affect our business prospects and financial performance.

We may incur substantial costs and challenges enforcing and defending our intellectual property rights.

We may incur substantial costs in protecting, enforcing and defending our intellectual property rights against third parties. Intellectual property disputes may be costly and can be disruptive to our business operations by diverting attention and energies of management and key technical personnel and by increasing our costs of doing business. Third-party intellectual property claims asserted against us could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to enter into royalty and licensing arrangements on unfavorable terms, prevent us from assembling or licensing certain products, subject us to injunctions restricting our sale of solutions, cause severe disruptions to our operations or the marketplaces in which we compete or require us to satisfy indemnification commitments with our customers, including contractual provisions under various license arrangements. Any of these could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

12

If we are unable to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, including patents pending, registered intellectual property and trade secrets, such information may be used by others to compete against us.

We have devoted substantial resources to the development of our technology and related intellectual property rights. Our success and future revenue growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We rely on a combination of registered and unregistered intellectual property and protect our rights using patents, licenses, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality and assignment of invention agreements and other methods.

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, it is possible that competitors or other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose our technologies, inventions, processes or improvements. We cannot provide assurance that any of our existing or future patents or other intellectual property rights will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or will otherwise provide us with meaningful of sufficient protection. The infringement of our patents and misappropriation of confidential or trade secret technologies may occur in facilities where we cannot monitor or know that violations or theft is occurring. Our pending patent applications may not be granted, and we may not be able to obtain foreign patents or pending applications corresponding to our U.S. patents. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective enforcement in foreign countries may not be available. Moreover, we have registered our trademarks and domain names that we currently use in certain countries, but we may not be able to register them in other territories in which we may operate now or in the future. Further, we may be unable to prevent competitors from acquiring trademarks or domain names that are similar to or diminish the value of our intellectual property.

Our trade secrets, know-how and other unregistered proprietary rights are a key aspect of our intellectual property portfolio. While we take reasonable steps to protect our trade secrets and confidential information and enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements intended to protect such rights, such agreements can be difficult and costly to enforce or may not provide adequate remedies if violated, and we may not have entered into such agreements with all relevant parties. Such agreements may be breached and trade secrets or confidential information may be willfully or unintentionally disclosed, including by employees who may leave our company and join our competitors, or our competitors or other parties may learn of the information in some other way. The disclosure to, or independent development by, a competitor of any of our trade secrets, know-how or other technology not protected by a patent or other intellectual property system could materially reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage that we may have over such competitor.

If our patents and other intellectual property do not adequately protect our technology, our competitors may be able to offer products similar to ours. Our competitors may also be able to develop similar technology independently or design around our patents and other intellectual property, by copying or reverse-engineering our applications or other technology offerings, or through other means. Any of the foregoing events would lead to increased competition and reduce our revenue or gross margin, which would adversely affect our operating results.

Third parties may claim that our solutions or services infringe or otherwise violate their proprietary rights, which claims and any related litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Intellectual property disputes and litigation, regardless of merit, can be costly and disruptive to our business operations by diverting attention and energies of management and key technical personnel and by increasing our costs of doing business. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business and financial condition and we may be unsuccessful in defending such disputes or litigation, which may require us to pay substantial damages or be subject to an injunction. Moreover, as part of any settlement or other compromise to avoid complex, protracted litigation, we may agree not to pursue future claims against a third party, including for claims related to alleged infringement of the third party’s or our intellectual property rights. Part of any settlement or other

13

compromise with another party may resolve a potentially costly dispute but may also have future repercussions on our ability to defend and protect our intellectual property rights, which in turn could adversely affect our business.

Disruption or failure of our networks, systems or technology as a result of computer viruses or malicious code, cyber-attacks, misappropriation of data or other malfeasance or cybersecurity incidents, as well as outages, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, accidental releases of information or similar events could disrupt our business or result in the loss of critical and confidential information.

We, our suppliers and our customers utilize information technology, or IT, systems and networks to process, transmit and store electronic information in connection with our business activities. As use of digital technologies has increased, cyber incidents, including third parties gaining access to employee accounts using stolen or inferred credentials, computer malware, viruses, spamming, phishing attacks or other means, and deliberate attacks and attempts to gain unauthorized access to computer systems and networks, have increased in frequency and sophistication. These threats pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in preventing cyber-attacks or successfully mitigating their effects. Like other companies, we have on occasion experienced, and will continue to experience, threats to our data and systems, including malicious codes and viruses, phishing, business email compromise attacks or other cyber-attacks. Any cyber-attack, data breach or destruction or loss of data could result in a violation of applicable U.S. and international privacy, data protection and other laws and subject us to litigation and governmental investigations and proceedings by federal, state and local regulatory entities in the United States and by international regulatory entities, resulting in exposure to material civil and/or criminal liability. Further, our general liability insurance and corporate risk management program may not cover all potential claims to which we are exposed and may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. In addition, we may suffer reputational harm or face litigation or adverse regulatory action as a result of cyber-attacks or other data security breaches and may incur significant additional expense to implement further data protection measures.

If we cannot cost-effectively develop proprietary technology, content, branding or business methods, or license them on favorable terms, we may be unable to compete effectively or to operate our business in certain jurisdictions.

Our revenue is derived from the sale of AI-enabled robotics and automation solutions and services. We have encountered and will continue to encounter challenges experienced by growing companies in a market subject to rapid innovation and technological change. While we intend to invest substantial resources to remain on the forefront of technological development, continuing advances in intelligent automation technology, changes in customer requirements and preferences and the emergence of new standards, regulations and certifications could adversely affect adoption of our solutions either generally or for particular applications. Our ability to compete in the intelligent automation market depends, in large part, on our success in developing and introducing new systems and technology, in improving our existing solutions and technology and qualifying new materials which our systems can support. We believe that we must continuously enhance and expand the functionality and features of our solutions and technologies in order to remain competitive. However, we may not be able to:

14

Even if we successfully introduce new AI-enabled robotics and automation solutions and enhance our existing solutions and technologies, it is possible that these will eventually supplant our existing solutions or that our competitors will develop new solutions and technologies that will replace our own. As a result, any of our solutions may be rendered obsolete or uneconomical by our or our competitors’ technological advances, leading to a loss in market share, decline in revenue and adverse effects to our business and prospects.

Our AI software platform contains third-party open-source software components, and failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open-source software licenses could restrict our ability to sell our solutions or give rise to disclosure obligations of proprietary software.

Our AI software platform contains components that are licensed under so-called “open source,” “free” or other similar licenses. Open source software is made available to the general public on an “as-is” basis under the terms of a non-negotiable license. Certain open source licenses may give rise to obligations to disclose or license our source code or other intellectual property rights if such open source software is integrated with our proprietary software in certain ways. We currently combine our proprietary software with open source software, but not in a manner that we believe requires the release of the source code of our proprietary software to the public. If we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner in the future, we could, under certain open source licenses, be required to release to the public or remove the source code of our proprietary software. Open source licensors also generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. We may also face claims alleging noncompliance with open source license terms or infringement or misappropriation of proprietary software. These claims could result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license or require us to remove the software. In addition, if the license terms for open source software that we use change, we may be forced to re-engineer our solutions, incur additional costs or discontinue the sale of certain offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished in a timely manner. Although we monitor our use of open source software to avoid subjecting our offerings to unintended conditions, there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our offerings. We cannot guarantee that we have incorporated open source software in our software in a manner that will not subject us to liability or in a manner that is consistent with our current policies and procedures.

We employ third-party licensed software for use in or with our software and to develop and maintain our software, and the inability to maintain these licenses, failure to comply with the terms of these licenses or errors in the software we license could result in increased costs, or reduced service levels, which would adversely affect our business.

Our software incorporates, and the development and maintenance of our software uses, certain third-party software obtained under licenses from other companies. We anticipate that we will continue to rely on such third-party software in the future. Although we believe that there are commercially reasonable alternatives to the third-party software we currently license, this may not always be the case, or it may be difficult or costly to migrate to other third-party software. Our use of additional or alternative third-party software would require us to enter into license agreements with third parties. In addition, integration of our software, including the third-party software used in our software with new third-party software may require significant work and require substantial investment of our time and resources. Also, any undetected errors or defects in third-party software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our software, delay new updates or enhancements to our platform, result in a failure of our platform, present security risks and injure our reputation.

Litigation or investigations involving us could result in material settlements, fines or penalties and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We could be subject to investigations and litigation in the future. While we intend to mount vigorous defenses to any future lawsuits that may be brought against us by any third party, we can provide no assurance as to the outcome of any such disputes, and any such actions may result in judgments against us for significant

15

damages. Resolution of any such matters can be prolonged and costly, and the ultimate results or judgments are uncertain due to the inherent uncertainty in litigation and other proceedings. In addition, the robotics and AI automation industry has been, and may continue to be, litigious, particularly with respect to intellectual property claims. Moreover, our potential liabilities are subject to change over time due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary requirements. Regardless of the outcome, future litigation may result in significant legal expenses and require significant attention and resources of management. As a result, any litigation that may be brought against us by any third party could result in losses, damages and expenses that have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition.

Our limited operating history and rapid recent growth make it difficult to evaluate our prospects and may increase the risk of any investment in our company.

We were founded in 2013, and much of our growth has occurred in recent periods. Our limited operating history may make it difficult for you to evaluate our current business and our prospects, as we continue to grow our business. Our ability to forecast our future operating results is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth and expansion into new jurisdictions. We have encountered, and will continue to encounter, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly evolving industries, as we continue to grow our business. If our assumptions regarding these uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our markets, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, our business could suffer and the trading price of our stock may decline.

It is difficult to predict our future revenues and appropriately budget for our expenses, and we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. If actual results differ from our estimates or we adjust our estimates in future periods, our operating results and financial position could be materially affected.

If demand for our solutions does not grow as we expect, or if market adoption of AI-enabled robotics and automation solutions does not continue to develop, or develops more slowly than we expect, our future revenues may stagnate or decline, and our business may be adversely affected.

The AI-enabled robotics and automation market is rapidly growing and developing. We may not be able to develop effective strategies to raise awareness among potential customers of the benefits of AI-enabled robotics and automation or our solutions may not address the specific needs or provide the level of functionality required by potential customers to encourage the continuation of this shift towards AI-enabled robotics and automation. If AI-enabled robotics and automation technology does not continue to gain broader market acceptance as an alternative to conventional manual operations, or if the marketplace adopts AI-enabled robotics and automation technologies that differ from our technologies, we may not be able to increase or sustain the level of sales of our solutions or retain existing customers or attract new customers, and our operating results would be adversely affected as a result.

Our solutions have a limited operating history, and any defects in our solutions may give rise to warranty or other claims that could result in material expenses, diversion of management time and attention and damage to our reputation.

Our AI-enabled robotics and automation solutions (and underlying product modules and related components) are complex and may contain undetected defects or errors when first introduced, during operation, or as enhancements are released that, despite testing, are not discovered until after a system has been used for a certain period of time or under certain conditions. This could result in delayed market acceptance of our solutions or claims from resellers, customers or others, which may result in litigation, increased end-user warranty, support and repair or replacement costs, damage to our reputation and business, or significant costs and diversion of support and engineering personnel to correct the defect or error. We may from time to time become subject to warranty or product liability claims related to product quality issues that could lead us to incur significant expenses.

16

We attempt to include provisions in our agreements with customers that are designed to limit our exposure to potential liability for damages arising from defects or errors in our solutions. However, it is possible that these limitations may not be effective as a result of unfavorable judicial decisions or laws or regulations enacted in the future.

The sale and support of our solutions entails the risk of product liability claims. Any product liability claim brought against us, regardless of its merit, could result in material expense, diversion of management time and attention, damage to our business and reputation and brand, and cause us to fail to retain existing customers or to fail to attract new customers.

If we fail to grow our business as we expect, our revenue, gross margin and operating margin will be adversely affected. If we grow our business as we expect but fail to effectively manage our growth, our business may be harmed, and our results of operation may be adversely impacted.

Over the past several years, we have experienced rapid growth, and we are attempting to continue to grow our business substantially. To this end, we have made, and expect to continue to make, significant investments in our business, including investments in our technology development, operations infrastructure and marketing and sales efforts. These investments include dedicated facilities expansion and increased staffing. If our business does not generate the level of revenue required to support our investment, our future revenues and profitability, if any, will be adversely affected.

Our ability to effectively manage our anticipated growth and expansion of our operations will also require us to enhance our operational, financial and management controls and infrastructure, human resources policies and reporting systems. These enhancements and improvements will require significant capital expenditures, investments in additional headcount and other operating expenditures and allocation of valuable management and employee resources. Our future financial performance and our ability to execute on our business plan will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth and expansion. There are no guarantees we will be able to do so in an efficient or timely manner, or at all.

We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges and opportunities, including the need to develop new features or enhance our solutions, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds if our existing sources of cash and any funds generated from operations do not provide us with sufficient capital. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we may secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges and opportunities could be significantly impaired, and our business may be adversely affected.

As part of our growth strategy, we expect to acquire or make investments in other businesses, patents, technologies, products or services. Our failure to do so successfully could disrupt our business and have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

We have no experience acquiring businesses and third-party technologies or products but expect to do so in the future. To the extent we seek to grow our business through acquisitions, we may not be able to successfully

17

identify attractive acquisition opportunities or consummate any such acquisitions if we cannot reach an agreement on commercially favorable terms, if we lack sufficient resources to finance the transaction on our own and cannot obtain financing at a reasonable cost or if regulatory authorities prevent such transaction from being consummated. In addition, competition for acquisitions in the markets in which we operate during recent years has increased, and may continue to increase, which may result in an increase in the costs of acquisitions or cause us to refrain from making certain acquisitions. We may not be able to complete future acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all.

If we do complete future acquisitions, we cannot assure you that they will ultimately strengthen our competitive position or that they will be viewed positively by customers, financial markets or investors. Furthermore, future acquisitions could pose numerous additional risks to our operations, including:

If we proceed with a particular acquisition, we may have to use cash, issue new equity securities with dilutive effects on existing shareholders, incur indebtedness, assume contingent liabilities or amortize assets or expenses in a manner that might have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Aversion to any such acquisition from existing shareholders could adversely affect our stock price. Acquisitions will also require us to record certain acquisition-related costs and other items as current period expenses, which would have the effect of reducing our reported earnings in the period in which an acquisition is consummated. In addition, we could also face unknown liabilities or write-offs due to our acquisitions, which could result in a significant charge to our earnings in the period in which they occur. We will also be required to record goodwill or other long-lived asset impairment charges (if any) in the periods in which they occur, which could result in a significant charge to our earnings in any such period.

Achieving the expected returns and synergies from future acquisitions will depend, in part, upon our ability to integrate the products and services, technology, administrative functions and personnel of these businesses into our product lines in an efficient and effective manner. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so, that our acquired businesses will perform at levels and on the timelines anticipated by our management or that we will be able to obtain these synergies in the future. In addition, acquired technologies and intellectual property may be rendered obsolete or uneconomical by our own or our competitors’ technological advances. Management resources may also be diverted from operating our existing businesses to certain acquisition integration

18

challenges. If we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses, our anticipated revenues and profits may be lower. Our profit margins may also be lower, or diluted, following the acquisition of companies whose profit margins are less than those of our existing businesses.

The competition for qualified personnel is particularly intense in our industry. In addition, we have added or made changes to executive personnel during the past 18 months and may continue to do so as our needs evolve. If we are unable to retain or hire executive and other key personnel, we may not be able to sustain or grow our business.

Our ability to operate successfully and manage our potential future growth depends significantly upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled and qualified technical, sales, marketing, managerial, legal and financial personnel. We have hired, and expect to continue to hire, a substantial number of employees in these areas and others in order to support commercialization and the expected growth in our global business. However, we face intense competition for qualified personnel, and we may not be able to attract, retain and motivate these individuals. We compete for talent with numerous companies, as well as research organizations. Our future success also depends on the personal efforts and abilities of the principal members of our senior management and technical staff to provide strategic direction, management of our operations and maintenance of a cohesive and stable working environment. Although we have employment and incentive compensation agreements with our executive officers and incentive and compensation plans for our other personnel providing them with various economic incentives to remain employed with us, these incentives may not be sufficient to retain them. The loss of key personnel for any reason or our inability to hire, retain and motivate additional qualified personnel in the future could prevent us from sustaining or growing our business.

Our decision to expand existing solutions offerings into new markets or to launch new solutions may consume significant financial and other resources and may not achieve the desired results.

We expect to expand existing solutions offerings into new markets and to launch new solutions in the future. We may not be able to do so at prices that are attractive to our customers, and our costs to develop new solutions may be significant. It may take longer than we might expect for a solution, even if ultimately successful, to achieve attractive sales results. Failure to successfully develop or market new or expanded solutions or delays in the development of new or expanded solutions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business.

Our management team will have broad discretion in making strategic decisions to execute their growth plans, and there can be no assurance that our management’s decisions will result in successful achievement of our business objectives or will not have unintended consequences that negatively impact our growth prospects.

Our management will have broad discretion in making strategic decisions to execute their growth plans and may devote time and company resources to new or expanded solution offerings, potential acquisitions, prospective customers or other initiatives that do not necessarily improve our operating results or contribute to our growth. Management’s failure to make strategic decisions that are ultimately accretive to our growth may result in unfavorable returns and uncertainty about our prospects, each of which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We have a broad range of competitors, including automation and robotics suppliers, more diversified technology providers and providers of alternative products, which could adversely impact the price of our solutions and our ability to increase our market share.

The robotics and AI automation industry in which we operate is fragmented and competitive. We compete for customers with a wide variety of producers of robotics and automation systems, as well as with providers of components, materials and services for this equipment. Some of our existing and potential competitors are researching, designing, developing and marketing other types of products and services that may render our

19

existing or future solutions obsolete, uneconomical or less competitive. Existing and potential competitors may also have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and sales, manufacturing, distribution and other resources than us, including name recognition, as well as experience and expertise in intellectual property rights and operating within certain international markets, any of which may enable them to compete effectively against us.

We intend to continue to follow a strategy of continuing product development and distribution network expansion to enhance our competitive position to the extent practicable. But we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our current position or continue to compete successfully against current and future sources of competition. If we do not keep pace with technological change and introduce new solutions and technologies, demand for our solutions may decline, and our operating results may suffer.

Our failure to meet our customers’ price expectations or declines in the prices of our solutions and services or in our sales volume would adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Demand for our AI-enabled robotics and automation solutions is sensitive to price. We believe our competitive pricing has been an important factor in our results to date. Therefore, changes in our pricing strategies can have a significant impact on our business and ability to generate revenue. Many factors, including our production and personnel costs and our competitors’ pricing and marketing strategies, can significantly impact our pricing strategies. If we fail to meet our customers’ price expectations in any given period, demand for our solutions could be negatively impacted and our business and results of operations could suffer.

We use, and plan to continue using, different pricing models for different solutions. For example, we offer our customers a robotics-as-a-service (“RaaS”) pricing model whereby we own and maintain systems physically located at our customer’s facility and our customer pays a subscription fee for the use of the system. Such pricing models are still relatively new to some of our customers and may not be attractive to them, especially in regions where they are less common. The RaaS pricing model requires us to fund the capital needed to manufacture systems and, therefore, substantial capital may be needed if our customers increase the use of the RaaS pricing model. Such capital may not be available under favorable terms, or at all, which could in turn harm our ability to grow our revenue. If customers resist such pricing models, our revenue may be adversely affected and we may need to restructure the way in which we charge customers for our solutions.

We may undergo an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would limit our ability to utilize net operating losses from prior tax years.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have incurred net losses since our inception. If we undergo an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our ability to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards from prior years to reduce taxable income in future tax years might be limited by operation of the Internal Revenue Code, either by limiting the amount of net operating losses that can be utilized to offset taxable income in a given year, or in total over the entire carry-forward period. Certain changes in the ownership of our common stock may result in an ownership change sufficient to limit the availability of our net operating losses.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this prospectus is preliminary, and our actual financial condition and results of operations may differ materially.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Berkshire Grey’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the date(s) indicated. The preparation of the pro forma financial information is based upon available information and certain assumptions and estimates that we currently believe are reasonable.

20

We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem the outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant if, among other things, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant). If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the warrants as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise the warrants. Redemption of the outstanding warrants as described above could force you to: (1) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so; (2) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants; or (3) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, we expect would be substantially less than the market value of your warrants. None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by RAAC Management LLC or its permitted transferees.

In addition, we have the ability to redeem the outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.10 per warrant if, among other things, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant). In such a case, the holders will be able to exercise their warrants prior to redemption for a number of shares of Berkshire Grey Common Stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Berkshire Grey Common Stock. Any such redemption may have similar consequences to a cash redemption described above. In addition, such redemption may occur at a time when the warrants are “out-of-the-money,” in which case you would lose any potential embedded value from a subsequent increase in the value of the Berkshire Grey Common Stock had your warrants remained outstanding. The value received upon exercise of the warrants (1) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had exercised their warrants at a later time where the underlying share price is higher and (2) may not compensate the holders for the value of the warrants, including because the number of shares of Berkshire Grey Class A Common Stock received is capped at 0.361 shares of Berkshire Grey Common Stock per warrant (subject to adjustment) irrespective of the remaining life of the warrants.

Berkshire Grey’s operations may be materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and other infectious diseases could result, in a widespread health crisis that has affected and could continue to adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, which may delay or prevent the business of Berkshire Grey and could be materially and adversely affected. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.

The disruptions posed by COVID-19 have continued, and other matters of global concern may continue, for an extensive period of time, and if Berkshire Grey is unable to recover from business disruptions due to COVID-19 or other matters of global concern on a timely basis, Berkshire Grey’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations

21

for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (‘SPACs’)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants. As a result of the SEC Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of RAAC’s 9,583,333 public warrants and 5,166,667 private placement warrants prior to the Business Combination, and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

As a result, included on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 contained elsewhere in this prospectus are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our warrants. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, provide for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our consolidated financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors, which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

In connection with the Business Combination, we identified a material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Following the issuance of the SEC Statement, on April 29, 2021, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, management and the Audit Committee of the RAAC Board concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, it was appropriate to restate (i) certain items on RAAC’s previously issued audited balance sheet dated as of December 10, 2020, which was related to RAAC’s IPO, and (ii) RAAC’s previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from September 10, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020. See “— Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” On June 9, 2021, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, management and the Audit Committee of the RAAC Board revised our position related to the classification of our shares of Class A common stock between temporary equity and permanent equity in connection with the guidance within ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as it specifically relates to the impact of the PIPE Investment and concluded that it was appropriate to restate RAAC’s previously issued interim condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As part of such processes, we identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

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 and corrected on a timely basis.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly, and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price

22

may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

As of June 30, 2021, the material weakness had not been remediated.

We may face litigation and other risks and uncertainties as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the restatement of our financial statements.

Following this issuance of the SEC Statement, on April 29, 2021, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, management and the Audit Committee of the RAAC Board concluded that it was appropriate to restate (i) certain items on RAAC’s previously issued audited balance sheet dated as of December 10, 2020, which was related to RAAC’s IPO, and (ii) RAAC’s previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from September 10, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020. See “— Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” On June 9, 2021, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, management and the Audit Committee of the RAAC Board revised our position related to the classification of our shares of Class A common stock between temporary equity and permanent equity in connection with the guidance within ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as it specifically relates to the impact of the PIPE Investment and concluded that it was appropriate to restate RAAC’s previously issued interim condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As part of such processes, we identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

As a result of such material weakness, the restatement of previously issued financials of RAAC, the change in accounting for the warrants and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation, inquiries from the SEC and other regulatory bodies, other disputes or proceedings which may include, among other things, monetary judgments, penalties or other sanctions, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws and contractual claims. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no knowledge of any such litigation, inquires, disputes or proceedings. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation, inquiries, disputes or proceedings will not arise in the future. Any such litigation, inquiries, disputes or proceedings, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete our initial business combination.

Risks Relating to Ownership of Berkshire Grey’s Securities

Berkshire Grey’s common stock and warrant price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance and you may lose some or all of your investment.

The trading price of our common stock and warrants is likely to be volatile and the stock market recently has experienced extreme volatility and may experience similar volatility moving forward. This volatility often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. You may not be able to resell your shares or warrants at an attractive price due to a number of factors such as those listed in “— Risks Relating to Berkshire Grey’s Business and Industry” and the following:

23

These broad market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our common stock and warrants, regardless of our operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of our common stock is low. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment.

In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If we were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from our business, regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, certain restrictions related to any future indebtedness, industry trends and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Any such decision will also be subject to compliance with contractual restrictions and covenants in the agreements governing our future indebtedness. In addition, we may incur indebtedness, the terms of which may further restrict or prevent us from paying dividends on our common stock. As a result, you may have to sell some or all of your common stock after price appreciation in order to generate cash flow from your investment, which you may not be able to do. Our inability or decision not to pay dividends, particularly when others in our industry have elected to do so, could also adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they issue unfavorable commentary about us or our industry or downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock and warrants could decline.

The trading market for our common stock and warrants will depend in part on the research and reports that third-party securities analysts publish about us and the industries in which we operate. We may be unable or slow

24

to attract research coverage and if one or more analysts cease coverage of us, the price and trading volume of our securities would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts that may cover us change their recommendation regarding our securities adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our securities would likely decline. If any analyst that may cover us ceases covering us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price or trading volume of our securities to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades our common stock, or if our reporting results do not meet their expectations, the market price of our common stock and warrants could decline.

Our issuance of additional shares of common stock or convertible securities could make it difficult for another company to acquire us, may dilute your ownership of us and could adversely affect the price of our common stock and warrants.

We intend to file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-8 providing for the registration of shares of our common stock issued or reserved for issuance under the Incentive Equity Plan. Subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions and the expiration of lockup agreements, shares registered under the registration statement on Form S-8 will be available for resale immediately in the public market without restriction. From time to time in the future, we may also issue additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock pursuant to a variety of transactions, including acquisitions. The issuance by us of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock would dilute your ownership of us and the sale of a significant amount of such shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock and warrants.

In the future, we may obtain financing or to further increase our capital resources by issuing additional shares of our capital stock or offering debt or other equity securities, including senior or subordinated notes, debt securities convertible into equity, or shares of preferred stock. Issuing additional shares of our capital stock, other equity securities, or securities convertible into equity may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing stockholders, reduce the market price of our common stock and warrants, or both. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. Additionally, debt securities convertible into equity or preferred stock, if issued, may be given preferential rights or powers that could affect the rights and powers of our current stockholders. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. As a result, holders of our common stock and warrants bear the risk that our future offerings may reduce the market price of our common stock and warrants and dilute a common stockholder’s percentage ownership. See “Description of Capital Stock.”

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock by us or our existing stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for our common stock and warrants to decline.

The sale of shares of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into shares of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our Class A common stock and warrants. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

Following this effectiveness of this registration statement, the Selling Securityholders’ shares of Class A common stock will be available for resale without restriction, subject to, in the case of stockholders who are our affiliates, volume, manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

25

In addition, shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of incentive awards under our incentive plans may be eligible for sale in the public market, subject to any lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144. Furthermore, shares of our Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2021 Plan, including pursuant to the evergreen provision that allows our board of directors to reserve additional shares of Class A common stock for future issuance under the 2021 Plan each calendar year, may become available for sale in future.

The market price of shares of our Class A common stock and warrants could drop significantly if the holders of these shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of shares of our Class A common stock or other securities.

We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of any second quarter of a fiscal year, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the end of such fiscal year. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, or (2) our annual revenue

26

equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year or the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

Certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions, in Berkshire Grey’s governing documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock and warrants.

The Berkshire Grey Charter and Bylaws, and the DGCL, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by Berkshire Grey’s board of directors and therefore depress the market price of Berkshire Grey’s common stock and warrants. Among other things, the Berkshire Grey Charter and Bylaws include the following provisions:

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the Berkshire Grey board of directors or management.

Any provision of the Berkshire Grey’s Charter and Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and warrants and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock and warrants.

Berkshire Grey’s Bylaws designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees.

The Berkshire Grey Bylaws, provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Court”) of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for state law claims for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action

27

asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employee of Berkshire Grey or Berkshire Grey’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Berkshire Grey Charter or Bylaws, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Berkshire Grey Charter or Bylaws, or (v) any action asserting a claim against Berkshire Grey governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The foregoing provisions will not apply to any claims arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act and, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act.

The choice of forum provision in the Bylaws may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with Berkshire Grey or any of Berkshire Grey’s directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits with respect to such claims. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions, and the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ organizational documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. It is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable, and if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Berkshire Grey’s Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm the Berkshire Grey’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Additionally, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As noted above, the Bylaws will designate the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts as the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision, and we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm Berkshire Grey’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

28

USE OF PROCEEDS

We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to permit holders of the Private Placement Warrants and shares of our Class A common stock described in the section entitled “Selling Securityholders” to resell such warrants and shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of warrants or shares by the Selling Securityholders.

The Selling Securityholders will pay all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of their warrants and shares, including underwriters’ or agents’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, underwriter marketing costs and all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Selling Securityholders, except that we will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one legal counsel for the Selling Securityholders, in the event of an underwritten offering of their warrants and shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the warrants and shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing and delivery fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.

29

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We do not expect to pay dividends on our capital stock for the foreseeable future, instead anticipating that all of our earnings for the foreseeable future will be used for the operation and growth of our business. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including our operating results, financial condition, capital requirements, growth plans, any contractual and legal restrictions on our payment of dividends, and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

MARKET INFORMATION

Our Class A common stock and warrants are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “BGRY” and “BGRYW,” respectively. As of July 21, 2021, there were approximately 160 registered holders of our Class A common stock. This number does not include beneficial owners holding our securities through nominee names.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Revolution Acceleration Acquisition Corp, “RAAC”, present the combination of the financial information of RAAC and Berkshire Grey, Inc., (“Berkshire Grey”), adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination (the “Combined Company”) and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements (collectively, the “Transactions”). The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 assumes that the Transactions occurred on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020 present pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had been completed on January 1, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the Combined Company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Transactions occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the Combined Company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

This information should be read together with RAAC’s and Berkshire Grey’s respective audited financial statements and related notes, the sections titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Berkshire Grey has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

Under this method of accounting, RAAC is the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of Berkshire Grey issuing stock for the net assets of RAAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of RAAC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes the redemption of 23,251,823 of RAAC Public Shares at a redemption price of $10.00 per share, transaction costs of approximately $27.4 million which include deferred underwriting commissions from RAAC’s IPO, 16,500,000 shares of RAAC Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the PIPE Investment, and 196,765,903 shares of RAAC Class A Common Stock are issued as Merger Consideration.

Description of the Transactions

On February 23, 2021, RAAC entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between RAAC and Berkshire Grey was affected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Berkshire Grey, with Berkshire Grey surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of RAAC. At the effective time of the Business Combination, each share of Berkshire Grey preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Berkshire Grey preferred stock”), and each share of Berkshire Grey common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Berkshire Grey common stock”), was converted into the right to receive 5.87585 shares of RAAC’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The purchase price for the Berkshire Grey common stock and preferred stock had a cap of $2.25 billion. The consideration payable to Berkshire Grey stockholders consists of 225.0 million shares of RAAC Class A common stock at $10.00 per share (or $2.25 billion).

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, RAAC entered into the Subscription Agreements. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Subscribers have agreed to purchase, and RAAC agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 16.5 million shares of Class A common stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and at an aggregate purchase price of $165.0 million (collectively, the “PIPE”). The obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements were conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The following pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented herein reflect the actual redemptions of 23,251,823 shares of Class A common stock by RAAC’s shareholders in conjunction with the stockholder vote on the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement at a meeting held on July 20, 2021.
