Pay Versus Performance

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation that the SEC deems to have been actually paid to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and other named executive officers (“NEOs”) and certain indicators of our financial performance. Please note that Item 402(v) requires the amounts included in the “compensation actually paid” columns of the table below to be calculated according to a particular formula that treats the increase or decrease in the value of outstanding equity awards as amounts “actually paid” to the NEO, regardless of whether the NEO realized any gain from such fluctuation in equity value. For further information concerning the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

(1)The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mr. Siebel (our Chief Executive Officer since 2011) for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to the section entitled “Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table.”

(2)The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Siebel, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. Siebel during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to Mr. Siebel’s total compensation for each year to determine the compensation actually paid (adjustments for pension benefits are not covered, as the Company does not have any defined benefit or actuarial pension plans):

(a)The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.

(b)The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; and (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year. Adjustments for dividend payments are not covered, as the Company does not pay dividends on equity awards. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:

(3)The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Siebel, who has served as our Chief Executive Officer since 2011) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The names of each of the NEOs (excluding Mr. Siebel) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2024, Edward Y. Abbo, Juho Parkkinen, Houman Behzadi, Hitesh Lath and Guy Wanger; (ii) for 2023, Edward Y. Abbo, Juho Parkkinen, Houman Behzadi and Richard Lutton; (iii) for 2022, David Barter, Edward Y. Abbo, Juho Parkkinen, Houman Behzadi, Richard Lutton and Adeel Manzoor; and (iv) for 2021, David Barter and Edward Y. Abbo.

(4)The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Siebel), as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Siebel) during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Siebel) for each year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in Note 2 (adjustments for pension benefits are not covered, as the Company does not have any defined benefit or actuarial pension plans):

(a)The amounts deducted or added in calculating the total average equity award adjustments are as follows (adjustments for dividend payments are not covered, as the Company does not pay dividends on equity awards):

(5)Represents the total stockholder return (“TSR”) of a $100 investment in our stock as of December 9, 2020, the date that our Class A common stock began trading on the NYSE, valued again on each of April 30, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. The initial public offering price of our Class A common stock was $42.00 per share (the disclosure of the Company’s initial public offering price in this footnote is supplemental disclosure that is not required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K).

(6)Represents the TSR of the S&P 500 Information Technology Index based on a $100 investment in our Class A common stock as of December 9, 2020, valued again on each of April 30, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(7)The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income (loss) reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for each of the fiscal years.

(8)Reflects “revenue” for each fiscal year as set forth in our Consolidated Statements of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for each of the fiscal years.

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our shareholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:

•Net income

•Revenue

•Stock Price

•TSR

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table

As described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay Versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table.
