   Advisory Approval of the Compensation of the Named Executive Officers (Say-on-Pay

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Advisory (non-binding) vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement (Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and narrative).

   More detail

   This non-binding "say-on-pay" proposal asks stockholders to approve the overall compensation of the company's named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and narrative. Management is seeking this advisory endorsement to confirm stockholder support for its pay-for-performance program and to demonstrate alignment between executive incentives and stockholder interests, particularly after significant design changes implemented in 2025. The filing discloses that the company received low support for its 2024 say-on-pay and undertook substantial stockholder engagement covering roughly 40% of outstanding shares; in response, the compensation committee introduced changes for 2025 including more formulaic annual bonus metrics (70% financial weighting), the introduction of net bookings as a key metric, defined threshold/target/maximum payout ranges, annual equity grant guidelines, and a structured long-term incentive mix that added PSUs measured on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. The board recommends FOR, arguing these changes increase objectivity, strengthen alignment of pay with measurable financial outcomes, and improve transparency and retention through a balanced mix of options, RSUs, and PSUs. Because the vote is advisory, it will not change pay arrangements directly but the compensation committee will consider the vote results when making future decisions and continuing engagement with investors. From a governance perspective, the proposal provides a signal to the board on investor satisfaction with compensation design and the recent reforms; a strong negative vote could prompt further changes or intensified engagement. Investors should weigh the company’s responsive steps and the specific design of 2025 incentives (e.g., three-year PSUs with annual measurement periods and increased financial metric weight in bonuses) against remaining concerns such as prior one-time awards and the overall level of executive pay. Overall, the proposal is a routine advisory mechanism to hold management accountable for compensation policies without being binding on the board, but it functions as an important metric of governance health and investor relations.

   Approval of the Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate Certain Supermajority Voting Requirements

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Amend the Certificate of Incorporation to change certain provisions that currently require a two‑thirds supermajority vote (director removal with cause, stockholder amendment of bylaws, and alteration of certain charter provisions) so that those actions instead require a simple majority of voting power of outstanding shares.

   More detail

   This proposal asks stockholders to approve amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation that eliminate several two‑thirds supermajority vote requirements and replace them with a majority-of-outstanding-shares voting standard. Management is advancing the change to modernize governance, reduce entrenched supermajority protections (removing the two-thirds thresholds for director removal with cause, stockholder amendment of bylaws, and alteration of certain charter provisions), and align the Company with prevailing corporate governance norms that favor majority voting on fundamental corporate governance matters. The board frames the change as advisable and in the best interests of stockholders, and it has also conditioned related bylaw edits on the effectiveness of this amendment. From a governance analysis perspective, lowering the threshold increases shareholders’ ability to effect change—facilitating bylaw amendment and director accountability—while reducing a layer of defense that could impede changes approved by a simple majority. The amendment could make the company more responsive to a majority of shareholders and reduce the voting power required to effect governance or charter changes, but it also reduces protections against rapid or opportunistic change that two‑thirds requirements provided. Investors should consider the tradeoff between increased corporate agility and reduced supermajority protections; for instance, strategic transactions or charter amendments will be easier to approve by a majority but could also be more susceptible to control contests or coordinated campaigns. The board’s recommendation suggests management believes the benefits of improved governance alignment and responsiveness outweigh the loss of supermajority protections; the company also notes its discretion to abandon the amendments prior to filing. Finally, insofar as Proposal 4 is presented alongside Proposal 5, each is independent but could be implemented together if approved, producing a broader reduction in entrenched protections across governance and business-combination rules.

5. 5

   Approval of the Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to Eliminate the Default Supermajority Voting Requirement Concerning Certain Business Combinations

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Amend the Certificate of Incorporation to replace the two‑thirds supermajority voting standard (similar to DGCL Section 203) for certain business combinations with a majority-of-outstanding-shares-not-owned-by-the-interested-stockholder voting standard and add a new Article IX describing the business combination provisions.

   More detail

   Proposal 5 requests stockholder approval to revise the charter so that the Company opts out of DGCL Section 203 and replaces the two-thirds supermajority protection for certain business combinations with a majority-of-outstanding-votes-not-owned-by-the-interested-stockholder standard, while retaining a three-year protective period against business combinations with an interested stockholder unless board approval or a majority of the non-interested shares approve. Management argues the change modernizes the charter and aligns voting standards with contemporary governance practices. For analysts, the amendment reduces an entrenched takeover-protection mechanism that can deter or slow hostile or coercive transactions, making the company more accessible to potential acquirers or consenting majority shareholders while preserving a time-limited protective period and carve-outs for board-approved transactions or large majority roll-ups. The detailed Appendix B language clarifies the definitions of “Interested Stockholder,” “Business Combination,” and related terms and retains procedural safeguards (e.g., three-year period, 85% carve-out, notice provisions), but replaces the more onerous two‑thirds non-interested shareholder approval with a simple majority of non-interested outstanding shares. The practical effect is to lower the statutory approval hurdle for many business combinations, which may increase strategic flexibility and reduce the ability of a minority to block transactions supported by a majority. Investors should evaluate this change in the context of the company’s ownership structure and potential acquirers: if a single or coordinated block could influence outcomes, lowering the threshold could materially change deal dynamics. The board’s recommendation signals management’s preference for reduced entrenchment and greater alignment with a majority of shareholders, but the change also increases the importance of other governance safeguards (e.g., independent board oversight, special committees, fairness processes) to protect minority shareholder interests.
