On February 24, 2021, Michael Bayer notified Gogo Inc. (the “Company”) that he intends to step down from his position as Senior Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer effective September 30, 2021. Jay Boykin, who has been with the Company for ten years, most recently serving as Vice President of Business Aviation Finance, will assume the role of Vice President and Controller upon Mr. Bayer’s departure. Jessica Betjemann, who joined the Company in 2016 and currently serves as Senior Vice President, Corporate Finance and FP&A, will expand her responsibilities in her new role as Senior Vice President of Finance and Accounting and will succeed Mr. Bayer as Chief Accounting Officer effective September 30, 2021.

“I greatly appreciate Mike’s outstanding leadership, tireless dedication and many significant contributions to Gogo over the years,” said Barry Rowan, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Mike has been instrumental in helping us design and maintain the internal controls and reporting processes necessary to create long-term value for shareholders. His accounting expertise and strong commitment to our shareholders and employees have been invaluable on a day-to-day basis as well as throughout the process of preparing for and executing the sale of our commercial aviation business to Intelsat. While Mike is not leaving until September, I want to take this opportunity to wish Mike and his family all the best in the years ahead.”
