continued its long-standing practice of reaching out to stockholders and future investors. Executives, and when appropriate, directors met with stockholders on a variety of topics, including strategy and value propositions, corporate governance,
executive compensation, and culture. We spoke and met with representatives from our top institutional investors, mutual funds, public pension funds, and individual investors to hear their views on these important topics. Overall, investors expressed
strong support for Geospace. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Board is committed to constructive engagement with our stockholders and investors. To help facilitate
communication with our stockholders, the Board formed a governance leadership <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-committee</FONT> in 2020 to carry out a stockholder outreach effort. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-committee</FONT>
consisted of the chairs of the audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees. In some instances, the Lead Independent Director, CEO and Chairman also participated in the meetings. Open dialogue with our stockholders throughout 2022
has led to enhancements in our corporate governance and executive compensation, with ongoing efforts dealing with our strategy and value proposition. The Board believes these efforts are all in the best interest of Geospace and its stockholders.

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of an ongoing evaluation process, at the end of each quarterly Board meeting and committee meetings, all participants take part in a
verbal evaluation of how well the Board performed. This includes a director self-evaluation and an evaluation of each of his or her peers. At least annually, the nominating and corporate governance committee solicits anonymous feedback from the
directors on Board and committee effectiveness, including areas such as Board composition and the Board/management succession-planning process from each director through a third-party, which administers the review and provides feedback to the
nominating and corporate governance committee on its findings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Lead Independent Director presides at executive sessions of the
independent directors. Each executive session may include a discussion of the performance of the Chairman, CEO, or Directors, and matters concerning the relationship of the Board with the Chairman or CEO and other members of senior management. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Lead Independent Director, in collaboration with the nominating and corporate governance committee, also ensures that the Board&#146;s
self-assessments are conducted annually. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Owens serves as the Company&#146;s Chairman of the Board. Mr.&nbsp;Owens was the Company&#146;s previous President and Chief Executive
Officer from 1997 until his retirement in December 2013. The Company has not established a written position description for our Chairman of the Board. A primary function of that position is to set the agenda for and lead meetings of the
Company&#146;s Board. The Board believes that the Company will benefit from Mr.&nbsp;Owens&#146; continued services as a director and as Chairman of the Board given his extensive experience with the Company&#146;s operations. Mr.&nbsp;Owen&#146;s is
independent, as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules, as currently applicable to the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2015, the Board
created a Lead Independent Director position that serves for a three-year term. In August 2020, Mr.&nbsp;Davis was elected as the Lead Independent Director for a three-year term. Mr.&nbsp;Davis is independent, as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the
NASDAQ Stock Market Rules, as currently applicable to the Company. In this position, Mr.&nbsp;Davis presides over meetings of the Board when the Chairman is not present, leads at least two meetings per year of the Board&#146;s independent directors,
serves as liaison between the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and the Board, and approves Board information, agendas and schedules. The Lead Independent Director also participates in the selection of committee members and committee chairs,
stockholder communications, and the recommendation of advisors and consultants to the Board. Under the direction of the Lead Independent Director, the independent directors met six times during the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2022. The
Company believes that the Lead Independent Director position strikes an appropriate balance between Mr.&nbsp;Owens&#146; significant executive, customer, and industry knowledge in his position as Chairman and the Board&#146;s fiduciary duties to
stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a governance best practice, all members of the audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees
are independent. The Board has established processes for the effective oversight of critical issues charged to independent Directors such as the integrity of our financial statements, senior executive compensation, succession planning, election of
the Lead Independent Director, membership of independent Board committees, evaluations of the Board, committee and Directors, and nominations for Directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Succession planning and leadership development are top priorities for the Board and management. The Company recently solicited input from an
external consulting firm to assist the Board in this area. On an ongoing basis, the Board, with oversight from the nominating and corporate governance committee reviews the plans for succession to the role of CEO and other senior management
positions. The nominating and corporate governance committee assists in succession planning, as necessary, and reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding people strategies and leadership development initiatives. To assist the Board,
the CEO periodically reports on individual senior executives&#146; potential to succeed to the position of CEO and provides an assessment of potential successors to other key positions. </P>

allows Mr.&nbsp;Wheeler to focus his time and energy on operating and managing the Company while leveraging the experience and perspectives of the Chairman. The Board has an active role in evaluating the Company&#146;s risk management in its ongoing
business by regularly reviewing information presented by management regarding the Company&#146;s business and operations risks and monitoring risk areas through Board reports and related discussions at Board meetings. The Board also reviews and
approves the Company&#146;s operating and capital budgets on an annual basis. The committees of the Board include an audit committee, which oversees accounting and financial issues and risks, a compensation committee, which reviews leadership
performance and compensation and a nominating and corporate governance committee, which assesses Board performance and corporate governance issues. </P>

(the &#147;Board&#148;), serves as the representative of the Board for general oversight of the Company&#146;s financial accounting and reporting process, system of internal control, audit process and process for monitoring compliance with laws and
regulations and the Company&#146;s standards of business conduct. The Company&#146;s management has primary responsibility for preparing the Company&#146;s financial statements and for the Company&#146;s internal controls and the financial reporting
process. The Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP (&#147;RSM&#148;), is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company&#146;s financial statements to generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the &#147;PCAOB&#148;). </P>

Discussions with the Internal Audit department and RSM occur either in private sessions (without the attendance of the Company&#146;s management) or in conjunction with the Company&#146;s management. Discussions include, but are not limited to:
(i)&nbsp;the quality of significant accounting principles, (ii)&nbsp;the reasonableness of critical accounting estimates, (iii)&nbsp;and critical audit matters and the disclosures of those matters in the consolidated financial statements identified
by RSM during the audit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">2) The Audit Committee reviews the internal audit plan, determines the adequacy of internal audit independence,

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-equity,</FONT> incentive annual bonus program, (3)&nbsp;goal-oriented discretionary cash bonuses, and (4)&nbsp;long term incentives in the form of equity-based compensation awards. Equity-based compensation awards have
historically included nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock unit awards. Each executive officer&#146;s current and prior compensation is considered in setting future compensation and, while consideration is given
to the vesting and value of previously granted equity-based compensation awards, the total compensation package is not regularly adjusted for such values. In addition, the Company focuses on the relative roles of the executive officers throughout
the organization when determining compensation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company chooses to pay each element of compensation to reward executives through
various means. The base salary and employee benefits compensate executives for their daily efforts as management of the Company. The annual <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-equity</FONT> incentive annual bonus program, described in more detail
below, encourages executives to not only meet goals for the Company, measured in terms of consolidated pretax profits (before bonus), but also encourages other employees to meet goals as well. The equity-based compensation awards provide a long-term
incentive to executives and other key employees to improve the performance of the Company as viewed by the market as reflected in the market price for Common Stock. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An executive officer&#146;s annual base salary and annual cash bonuses do not fluctuate as a
result of increases or decreases in the market value of equity-based compensation awards. For example, if the stock price has grown significantly, resulting in large potential gains on vested stock awards, an executive officer&#146;s base salary or
bonus potential is not adjusted for that reason. However, the compensation committee may consider those gains in awarding additional equity-based compensation. Similarly, the compensation committee would not consider a large cash bonus award under
the Company&#146;s annual performance bonus program or a large goal-oriented discretionary cash bonus to be a reason to reduce the equity-based compensation awards or annual base salary received by the executive in the following fiscal year. The
Company views each compensation element as a different means of encouraging and promoting performance. These compensation elements are designed to work in tandem. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The compensation committee considers the base salary levels supplemented by bonus awards and equity compensation in evaluating the total
executive compensation package. The executive officers are encouraged to earn their bonuses and equity compensation in order to realize the full value of their compensation package. The Company intends that the attainment of the performance goals
established by the compensation committee will benefit its stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The compensation committee does not believe that there is
another public company that is a direct peer to the Company in the seismic industry. The Company is primarily a manufacturer of seismic products and does not provide traditional seismic services or maintain a seismic data library like other seismic
companies. One of the Company&#146;s most direct competitors is a subsidiary of a much larger company, and there is no access to compensation information of that subsidiary. The compensation committee from time to time does review publicly available
information on seismic and other energy industry participants to help understand the marketplace in which the Company competes. The Compensation Consultant assists the committee in gathering executive compensation information from a broad group of
energy industry companies. The compensation committee strives to maintain a reasonable compensation package for each executive officer and uses this information to retain such officer and provide incentives for such officer to continue to improve
the Company&#146;s performance in the future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The conclusion of the compensation committee after its most recent examination of the
publicly available executive compensation of energy industry companies was that the Company&#146;s total compensation of each of its executive officers, particularly their base salaries and cash bonuses, were typically lower than the compensation of
executive officers in other energy industry companies, adjusting for various factors such as size, location and seniority of the executive officer. The Company places a high priority on the retention of its key employees, particularly its executive
officers. The Board of the Company believes that these executive officers have made significant contributions to the growth and development of the Company and have developed a synergy among themselves that fosters progress and support. The Board
believes that a loss of any one of these executive officers could have a significant adverse impact on the Company. Based upon these considerations, the compensation committee designed compensation packages for the Company&#146;s executive officers.

cash bonuses, and equity incentive awards comprise total direct compensation. In setting named executive officer compensation, the compensation committee considers the aggregate compensation payable to the executive officer and the form of the
compensation. The compensation committee seeks to achieve the appropriate balance between immediate cash rewards and incentives for the achievement of both annual and long-term financial and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT>
objectives. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Generally, the compensation committee targets overall compensation packages for the Company&#146;s executive officers that
are competitive with the total value received by executive officers at other energy companies. Due to the nature of the Company&#146;s business and the compensation committee&#146;s use of performance based stock options, performance based
restricted stock unit awards, and a performance based annual cash bonus plan, it is possible </P>

for its executive officers to receive above target compensation when the Company&#146;s stock price increases and total shareholder return and financial performance hurdles are met. Conversely,
in years when the Company&#146;s stock price remains unchanged or total shareholder return and financial performance hurdles are not met, its executive officers will receive minimal financial compensation, if any, in addition to their base salaries.
The compensation committee attempts to maintain annual base salary ranges that are intended to be reasonably competitive with salaries at other energy industry companies, therefore improving the likelihood of retaining the executive officers that we
believe are crucial to the long-term success of the Company. A substantial portion of target compensation is in the form of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;at-risk&#148;</FONT> performance-based compensation that is linked to the
Company&#146;s financial performance. The compensation committee believes that this blend strikes an appropriate balance between effectively retaining key employees and aligning the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For fiscal year 2022, the Board adopted comprehensive company-wide bonus compensation criteria (the &#147;2022 Bonus Criteria&#148;) for all
employees. The 2022 Bonus Criteria, which follows the same principles, goals and criteria as in the bonus program and criteria previously established for prior fiscal years, set forth various targets and criteria for the Company&#146;s operating
performance and established a cash bonus, assessed on an individual basis, for employees of the Company. The financial targets were designed to provide incentives for the employees to work as a team to improve the Company&#146;s financial results.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the 2022 Bonus Criteria, every employee of the Company is eligible to participate in Tier I of the bonus plan, except for employees
in the Russian Federation who participate in a local plan. Under Tier I, employees share proportionally in the Company&#146;s profits based on each employee&#146;s relative payroll. The Tier I bonus pool is established by accruing approximately 26%
of consolidated pretax profits (before bonus) above a specified range. Various management teams, including the executive officers, and selected key employees are eligible to participate in Tier II of the 2022 Bonus Criteria, which applies after Tier
I is fully funded. The Tier II bonus pool is established by accruing approximately 26% of consolidated pretax profits (before bonus) within a specified range above Tier I. Under Tier II, certain participants share in the bonus pool depending on the
satisfaction of predefined goals by their respective working groups. None of the named executive officers were required to satisfy individual predefined goals under the 2022 Bonus Criteria. Tier I bonuses are paid if the Company reaches a
predetermined pretax profit (before bonus) level. Tier II is based on attaining a predetermined consolidated pretax profits (before bonus) level as well as, in most cases (but not in the case of named executive officers), specific performance
criteria of the group eligible for the bonus. The predetermined pretax profits (before bonus) levels as well as the specific performance criteria are <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-evaluated</FONT> annually. The groups eligible for Tier II
bonuses in one year are not necessarily eligible the following year. The eligible groups are selected based on management&#146;s goals for improvement across the Company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s named executive officers were not required to achieve individual performance targets in order to earn their respective
annual cash incentive payments under the 2022 Bonus Criteria. However, the consolidated pretax profits (before bonus) of the Company must reach a predetermined threshold before Tier I or Tier II bonus payments will be made. The difficulty of
attaining the performance criteria fluctuates in response to </P>

the Company&#146;s industry, market and overall performance. While each of Messrs. Wheeler, Sheen and Adams had the ability to influence the Company&#146;s financial performance, none of them can
ensure that the Company&#146;s performance will rise to the level of satisfying the Tier I or Tier II thresholds. For fiscal year 2022, no Tier I or Tier II bonuses were funded or paid. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Goal Oriented Discretionary Cash Bonuses </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If certain executive officers do not receive any payments under the bonus program described above, they are eligible to receive goal oriented
discretionary cash bonuses up to 30% of their respective base salary based on individualized goals and other factors which are evaluated on an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-going</FONT> basis by the compensation committee and Board. For fiscal
year 2022, after discussions with management, and in light of cost cutting measures initiated by the Company, no bonus payments were recommended by the compensation committee. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Long-Term Stock-Based Compensation </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Company believes that long-term incentive compensation is an important component of its compensation program and that the value of this compensation should be directly related to increases in stockholder value. In addition to base salaries, annual
performance bonuses, and goal-oriented discretionary cash bonuses, the executive officers have historically participated in the 2014 Plan, which allows the Company to grant long-term incentive compensation to its executive officers and directors in
the form of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit (&#147;RSU&#148;) awards, and other awards. RSU awards represent a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock upon vesting. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Historically, equity incentive compensation awards were determined based on an individual&#146;s annual compensation and his or her
contribution to the Company. The compensation committee independently sets and recommends stock option grants, restricted stock awards, and RSU awards for the Company&#146;s executive officers to the full Board for approval. Such awards may include
service-based vesting and performance goal based vesting provisions. Proposals for stock option, restricted stock awards, and RSU awards to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-executives</FONT> is presented by the President and Chief Executive
Officer and approved by the Board upon the recommendation of the compensation committee. Mr.&nbsp;Wheeler abstains from voting with respect to his own compensation and grants of equity awards. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;19, 2020, the Company granted the following RSU awards, with Mr.&nbsp;Wheeler receiving 10,000 RSU awards with service-based
vesting provisions and 10,000 RSU awards with both service-based and performance-based vesting provisions; and each of Messrs.&nbsp;Sheen and Adams receiving 9,500 RSU awards with service-based vesting provisions and 9,500 RSU awards with both
service-based and performance-based vesting provisions. The vesting of the performance-based RSU awards were conditioned on the achievement of consolidated revenue growth thresholds for fiscal year 2021. No restricted stock awards or stock options
were awarded in fiscal year 2021. On November&nbsp;18, 2021, based on the Company&#146;s total revenue for fiscal year 2021, the compensation committee determined that none of the vesting provisions had been met on the performance-based RSU awards
granted on November&nbsp;19, 2020 and these awards were forfeited. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;18, 2021, the Company granted the following RSU
awards, with Mr.&nbsp;Wheeler receiving 9,000 RSU awards with service-based vesting provisions and 10,000 RSU awards with both service-based and performance-based vesting provisions; Mr.&nbsp;Sheen receiving 8,000 RSU awards with service-based
vesting provisions and 9,000 RSU awards with both service-based and performance-based vesting provisions; and Mr.&nbsp;Adams receiving 8,500 RSU awards with service-based vesting provisions and 9,500 RSU awards with both service-based and
performance-based vesting provisions. The vesting of the performance-based RSU awards were conditioned on the achievement of consolidated revenue growth thresholds for fiscal year 2022. No restricted stock awards or stock options were awarded in
fiscal year 2022. On November&nbsp;17, 2022, based on the Company&#146;s total revenue for fiscal year 2022, the compensation committee determined that none of the vesting provisions had been met on the performance-based RSU awards granted on

Company&#146;s senior executive officers which may include service-based vesting and performance based vesting provisions to be determined by the compensation committee each year. The compensation committee will review the long-term incentive

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company offers a variety of health and welfare and retirement programs to all eligible employees. Executive officers generally are eligible
for the same benefit programs on the same basis as the rest of the broad-based employees. The health and welfare programs are intended to protect employees against catastrophic loss and encourage a healthy lifestyle. The Company&#146;s health and
welfare programs include medical, wellness, pharmacy, dental, life insurance and accidental death and disability. Each employee receives life insurance equal to the employee&#146;s annual salary with a maximum payout of $100,000 and accidental death
and dismemberment coverage. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company maintains a defined contribution retirement plan that is intended to qualify under
Section&nbsp;401(k) of the Code. The plan covers all full-time employees who meet age and service requirements. The plan provides for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax,</FONT> elective employee contributions with a matching contribution from
us ranging from 50% to 100% of employee contributions, up to a maximum of 3.5% of the employee&#146;s annual salary. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company offers
vacation time determined by years of service. As of September&nbsp;30, 2022, Mr. Sheen had accrued 266 hours of vacation; Mr. Adams had accrued 226 hours of vacation; and Mr. Wheeler had accrued 314 hours of vacation. Employees, including executive
officers, may roll over up to 160 hours of unused vacation time to subsequent years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company also maintains key man life insurance
policies on Messrs.&nbsp;Wheeler and Adams exclusively for its benefit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Impact of Accounting and Tax Treatment </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board requires a public company to measure the cost of employee services received in
exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The equity awards the Company grants are structured to comply with the requirements of the standard to maintain the appropriate equity accounting treatment.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation paid in
excess of $1,000,000 for any fiscal year to the corporation&#146;s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and three other most highly compensated executive officers as of the end of any fiscal year (and certain former executive officers).
As a result, we generally expect that compensation paid to our applicable named executives in excess of $1&nbsp;million will not be deductible. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;409A of the Code, as amended (&#147;Section&nbsp;409A&#148;), provides that deferrals of compensation under a nonqualified
deferred compensation plan for all taxable years are currently includible in gross income to the extent not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and not previously included in gross income, unless certain requirements are met. The Company
intends to structure any deferred compensation items to be in compliance with or exempt from Section&nbsp;409A. </P>
