Our status as a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult, including the following:

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Previous report
The following table sets forth information concerning our repurchase of our Class A common stock during the three months ended April 30, 2026:
Previous report
(a)On March 11, 2026, we announced that our board of directors had authorized and approved a share repurchase plan (the “2026 Share Repurchase Program”) to periodically repurchase up to $200 million of Class A common stock through March 15, 2027 in negotiated off market transactions or in open market purchases, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans. On March 13, 2026, we entered into a variable tenor accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR Agreement”) to repurchase an aggregate of $125 million of our Class A common stock, whereby we received an initial delivery of 17,123,288 shares of our Class A common stock. The initial delivery represented 80% of the $125 million aggregate amount divided by our Class A common stock price of $5.84 at the time of execution. As of April 30, 2026, the ASR Agreement remained unsettled, and we are expected to receive or deliver the difference between the $125 million prepayment divided by the settlement VWAP, minus the 17,123,288 initial shares. The ASR Agreement is expected to terminate by September 1, 2026. For additional information related to share repurchases, see Note 9, Stockholders’ Equity, included in “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Previous report
(b)The average price paid per share has not yet been determined, as final settlement did not occur during the three months ended April 30, 2026. Will exclude the 1% excise tax accrued on our share repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Our revenue was $219.5 million and $205.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. You should not rely on the revenue growth of any prior quarterly or annual period as an indication of our future performance. Even if our revenue continues to increase, our revenue growth rate may decline in the future as a result of a variety of factors, including the maturation of our business.

We have incurred significant net losses in the past, and we had an accumulated deficit of $296.5 million and $300.7 million as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively. While we have experienced revenue growth and profitability in recent periods, we are not certain whether or when we will obtain sufficient sales to sustain or increase our revenue growth or maintain profitability in the future. We expect that our costs will increase over time, and we could incur future losses, as we expect to invest significant additional funds in our business. In recent years, we have financed our operations principally through subscription payments by customers for use of our Unified-CXM platform. We have expended, and expect to continue to expend, substantial financial and other resources on:

Actual operating results may be different from our guidance, and such differences may be adverse and material. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged to put the guidance in context and not to place undue reliance on it.

We use AI tools in our business operations for internal and external uses and develop AI as part of our product offering. Our development and use of advanced AI technologies, including generative and agentic AI, may expose us to additional risks. We are investing in and seeking to accelerate AI capabilities, including agentic AI systems that may increasingly incorporate automation and decision-support capabilities. Although we continue to implement governance processes, controls and oversight mechanisms designed to mitigate these risks, such technologies may increase the risk of unintended or harmful outcomes, reduced transparency or explainability, security or access‑control failures, and present challenges in monitoring autonomous behavior and ensuring accountability and compliance. If we are unable to effectively design, deploy, govern, or control these technologies, our business, reputation, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We are investing in and seeking to accelerate AI capabilities, including agentic AI systems that may increasingly incorporate automation and decision-support capabilities. Although we continue to implement governance processes, controls, and oversight mechanisms designed to mitigate these risks, such technologies may (i) increase the risk of unintended or harmful outcomes, reduced transparency or explainability, and security or access‑control failures and (ii) present challenges in monitoring autonomous behavior and ensuring accountability and compliance. If we are unable to effectively design, deploy, govern, or control these technologies, our business, reputation, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Previous wording
Specifically, our employees and personnel use AI technologies to support their work and our internal business operations, including, for example, to assist in daily tasks including, among other things, generating source code used in our products and systems. Output from generative AI may infringe on third-party intellectual property rights without us being aware. Moreover, advanced AI tools, which may produce content indistinguishable from that generated by humans, have a number of benefits, risks, and liabilities, some still unknown. Recent decisions of governmental entities and courts (such as the U.S. Copyright Office, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit) interpret U.S. copyright and patent law as limited to protecting works and inventions created by human authors and inventors, respectively. We are therefore unlikely to be able to obtain U.S. copyright or patent protection for works or inventions wholly created by a generative AI tool, and our ability to obtain U.S. copyright and patent protection for source code, text, images, inventions, or other materials, which are developed with some use of AI tools, such as generative AI, may be limited, if available at all. Likewise, the availability of intellectual property protections in other countries is similarly unclear. Additionally, our use of third-party generative AI tools to develop source code, text, images, inventions, or other materials may expose us to greater risks than utilizing contracted human developers, as third-party generative AI vendors may not provide warranties or indemnities with respect to the output generated by such generative AI tools, and generative AI tools may also provide output that appears correct but is erroneous. Furthermore, while we have policies in place to facilitate the use of approved AI tools, some unapproved AI tools may be used in ways or under terms that do not protect the confidentiality of the prompts or inputs that users submit to such tools and may use prompts or inputs to train shared AI models, potentially resulting in third-party users receiving outputs containing information from prompts or inputs (including confidential, competitive, proprietary, or personal data) that were submitted to the tool.

During the three months ended April 30, 2026, approximately 49% of our sales were to customers outside of the Americas. As part of our growth strategy, we expect to continue to expand our international operations, which may include opening additional offices in new jurisdictions, providing our Unified-CXM platform in additional languages, and on-boarding new customers outside the U.S. Any new markets or countries into which we attempt to sell subscriptions to our Unified-CXM platform may not be receptive to our business development activities. We currently have sales personnel and sales, customer, and product support operations in the U.S. and certain countries across Europe, the Asia Pacific region, and the Americas. We believe that our ability to attract new customers to our Unified-CXM platform and to convince existing customers to renew or expand their use of our Unified-CXM platform is directly correlated to the level of engagement we achieve with our customers in their home countries. To the extent that we are unable to effectively engage with non-U.S. customers, we may be unable to effectively grow in international markets.

Previous wording
Any litigation also may involve patent holding companies or other adverse patent owners that have no relevant solution revenue, and, therefore, our patent portfolio may provide little or no deterrence, as we would not be able to assert our patents against such entities or individuals. Such “non-practicing entities” and other intellectual property rights holders may attempt to assert intellectual property claims against us or seek to monetize the intellectual property rights they own to extract value through licensing or other settlements. We have in the past and may in the future be requested to and/or obligated to indemnify our customers or business partners in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses or refund subscription fees, which could further exhaust our resources. Even if we were to prevail in the event of claims or litigation against us, any claim or litigation regarding our technology or intellectual property, with or without merit, could be unpredictable, costly and time-consuming, and divert significant resources and the attention of our management and other employees from our business operations. Such disputes also could disrupt our Unified-CXM platform and products, which would adversely impact our client satisfaction and ability to attract customers. In the case of infringement, misappropriation, or other violation caused by technology that we obtain from third parties, any indemnification or other contractual protections we obtain from such third parties, if any, may be insufficient to cover the liabilities we incur as a result of such infringement or misappropriation.

Previous wording
We are, and may become in the future, subject to securities class actions, derivative suits, or other securities-related legal actions. For example, in August 2024, a putative securities class action was filed against us and certain of our officers alleging violations of the federal securities laws for allegedly making false and misleading statements. On March 18, 2025, March 26, 2025, and April 30, 2025, three stockholder derivative actions were filed, purporting to bring claims on behalf of the Company against certain of our current and former directors and officers for alleged violations of the federal securities laws and breaches of their fiduciary duties, among other claims, in relation to substantially the same factual allegations as those made in the securities class action.
Current wording
From time to time, we may be subject to securities class actions, derivative suits, or other securities-related legal actions. For example, we were previously a party to securities class action and stockholder derivative actions, and we may be the target of additional litigation of this type in the future.
Previous wording
We also may become subject to new laws that regulate non-personal data. For example, the EU’s Data Act imposes certain data and cloud service interoperability and switching obligations to enable users to switch between cloud service providers without undue delay or cost, as well as certain requirements concerning cross-border international transfers of, and governmental access to, non-personal data outside the EEA. Depending on how this Act and any similar laws are implemented and interpreted, we may have to adapt our business practices, contractual arrangements, and services to comply with such obligations. In addition, some of our customers may be subject to the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and similar UK regulatory requirements on operational resilience. These laws may obligate our customers to impose contractual provisions on us, including certain mandatory third-party risk management provisions. If we fail to comply with relevant contractual requirements, we may be subject to investigations, audits, or other adverse consequences. Moreover, in Europe, the EU’s Network and Information Security Directive (“NIS2”) regulates resilience and incident response capabilities of entities operating in a number of sectors. Non-compliance with NIS2 may lead to administrative fines of a maximum of 10 million euros or up to 2% of the total worldwide revenue of the preceding fiscal year. While NIS2 has not been transposed in all Member States of the EU, we may become directly or indirectly subject to NIS2. Depending on how these new laws are implemented and interpreted, we may have to adapt our business practices, contractual arrangements, and products to comply with such obligations.

In addition, the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act may impose cybersecurity and vulnerability/incident reporting obligations on certain products with digital elements that we make available in the EU market, with reporting vulnerability/incident obligations applying from September 11, 2026 and most other obligations from December 11, 2027. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to 2.5% of global annual turnover for the preceding financial year, market restrictions, and mandatory recalls, and could, if imposed, adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition. Depending on how these new laws are implemented and interpreted, we may have to adapt our business practices, contractual arrangements, and products to comply with such obligations.

Some actors now engage and are expected to continue to engage in cyber-attacks, including, without limitation, nation-state actors for geopolitical reasons and in conjunction with military conflicts and defense activities. During times of war and other major conflicts, we, the third parties with whom we work, and our customers may be vulnerable to a heightened risk of these attacks, including retaliatory cyber-attacks, that could materially disrupt our systems and operations, supply chain, and ability to produce, sell, and distribute our goods and services.

Our Class B common stock has ten votes per share, and our Class A common stock has one vote per share. The holders of our Class B common stock as of April 30, 2026 beneficially held approximately 43.2% of our outstanding capital stock, but controlled approximately 88.4% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Therefore, the holders of Class B common stock have control over our management and affairs and over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of us or our assets, for the foreseeable future.

Previous wording
As of April 30, 2026, our directors, executive officers, major stockholders, and their respective affiliates beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 99.0% of our Class B common stock, and controlled approximately 88.9% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, our directors, executive officers, and their respective affiliates, if acting together, are able to determine or significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transaction.
Current wording
As of July 31, 2026, our directors, executive officers, major stockholders, and their respective affiliates beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 97.7% of our Class B common stock, and controlled approximately 87.3% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, our directors, executive officers, and their respective affiliates, if acting together, are able to determine or significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and approval of any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transaction.

Future transfers of shares of Class B common stock, other than certain permitted transfers under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or the voluntary election by holders of shares of Class B common stock to convert the same into shares of Class A common stock will result, after the acquisition of such shares of Class B common stock by the Company, in the issuance by the Company to such holders of an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, which process will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of Class B common stock who retain their shares in the long term. For example, as a result of the combined effect of recent conversions of Class B common stock and corresponding sales by our former Chief Executive Officer and founder and our stock repurchase programs, our largest stockholder, Hellman & Friedman LLC and its associated entities (“H&F”), controlled approximately 49.5% of the combined voting power of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of April 30, 2026. Accordingly, future transfers or voluntary elections to convert shares of Class B common stock may result in H&F controlling greater than 50% of the combined voting power of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock.
