Okta Inc

Our nominating committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees, and will consider all facts and circumstances that it deems appropriate or advisable. As part of this process, our nominating committee considers the current size and composition of our board, as well as the needs of our board and its committees.

Some of the qualifications that our nominating committee considers include, without limitation, issues of character, ethics, integrity, judgment, independence, diversity (which may include consideration as to gender, race and national origin, LGBTQIA+ status, education, professional experience and differences in viewpoints), skills, education, expertise, business acumen, length of service, understanding of our business and industry and other commitments. In addition, nominees must have proven achievement and competence in their respective fields, the ability to exercise sound business judgment, an objective perspective, the ability to offer advice and support to our management team, and the ability to make significant contributions to Okta’s success. Our nominating committee looks for individuals who have skills that are complementary to those of our existing board, the highest ethics, a commitment to the long-term interests of our stockholders, and an understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities of a public company director. Finally, nominees must have sufficient time available in the judgment of our nominating committee to effectively perform all board and committee responsibilities. Members of our board are expected to prepare for, attend and participate in all board and applicable committee meetings. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although our nominating committee may also consider other factors that it deems, from time to time, to be in the best interests of Okta and our stockholders. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our nominating committee recommends to the full board the director nominees for selection.
