DigitalOcean Holdings Inc

Please refer to Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a description of certain significant risks and uncertainties to which our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject. There have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as set forth below.

If we fail to effectively onboard and integrate new members of our executive leadership team and senior management, our business and future growth prospects could be harmed.

Our success largely depends on our ability to effectively onboard and integrate new members of our executive leadership team and senior management. In 2024, we hired a new Chief Executive Officer, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Chief Ecosystem and Growth Officer and Chief Revenue Officer, in addition to other new members of senior management. The ability of these new members of leadership and senior management to understand our business, operations, and strategic plans will be critical to the Company and our management’s ability to make informed decisions about our strategic direction and operations. Leadership transitions can be inherently difficult to manage, particularly when there is more than one transition occurring within the leadership and senior management teams in a short period of time. Ensuring that new executives and management gain detailed knowledge of our operations may take time and resources. An inadequate onboarding process or transition may cause disruption to our business due to, among other things, diverting management’s attention away from the Company’s financial and operational goals or causing a deterioration in morale.
