Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 4, 2026, Uber Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah, Chief Financial Officer, will step down from his role on February 16, 2026. Balaji Krishnamurthy, currently Vice President, Strategic Finance, will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer on that date. Mr. Mahendra-Rajah will serve as a Senior Finance Advisor reporting to CEO Dara Khosrowshahi through July 1, 2026.
Mr. Khosrowshahi said: “I want to thank Prashanth for everything he’s done for Uber. He’s been a great partner in getting us to investment-grade status, spearheading our first share repurchase program, and steering us through several major acquisitions. We all wish him the best in an exciting new opportunity that he will share more about soon.”
He continued: “For those who don’t know Balaji, he is trusted by investors, knows Uber’s business inside and out, and is a brilliant, decisive strategist. He has worked closely with me and our management team for years, and I am thrilled for him to step up as CFO as we kick off another big year for Uber.”
Mr. Mahendra-Rajah said: “I want to express my sincere gratitude to Dara and the Uber leadership team. Uber is a once-in-a-generation company with many years of extraordinary growth ahead, and it has been a true privilege to play my part in its success. I also want to congratulate Balaji, who is a superb executive and someone who I’m confident will take Uber to the next level.”
Mr. Krishnamurthy, 41, joined Uber in 2019 and has served in a range of leadership roles at the Company, including as Vice President, Strategic Finance since 2023, and previously as Head of Investor Relations from 2020 to 2023. He said: “It’s an honor to step into this important role at such an important time for Uber. As the undisputed global mobility and delivery leader, and with significant cash flows, we have the opportunity to further solidify our place as a generational technology company.”
Mr. Mahendra-Rajah’s separation will be treated as a qualifying termination for purposes of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2019 Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”). Upon his termination of service with the Company, Mr. Mahendra-Rajah will receive the benefits and payments he is entitled to under the Severance Plan, subject to his execution of the Company’s general release of claims. This termination is not the result of any disagreements concerning financial disclosures or accounting matters.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Krishnamurthy and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Krishnamurthy was appointed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr. Krishnamurthy and any director or executive officer of the Company, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Krishnamurthy Employment Agreement
In connection with his promotion to Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Krishnamurthy entered into an employment agreement with the Company, pursuant to which he will be entitled to an annual base salary of $600,000 and will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan. Mr. Krishnamurthy will receive (i) restricted stock unit awards of $9,375,000, subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions; (ii) an option to purchase $3,125,000 of the Company’s common stock, subject to a time-based vesting condition; and (iii) an additional one-time restricted stock unit award of $5,000,000, subject to a time-based vesting condition.
