Director Independence
Under the rules of the NYSE, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors within a specified period of the completion of its initial public offering. In addition, the rules of the NYSE require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of the NYSE, a director is independent only if our board of directors makes an affirmative determination that the director has no material relationship with us.
Our board of directors undertook a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of each director. The determination of our board of directors was based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.
With respect to Mr. Thygesen, our board of directors specifically considered that Mr. Thygesen is President, Americas at Google Inc. (though he is not an executive officer at Google Inc. or its parent company, Alphabet Inc.) and the terms and value of the search engine optimization/search engine marketing agreement we have with Google Inc. as well as the suite of Google apps and services that we license from Google Inc. Our board of directors has concluded that our relationship with Google Inc. would not impede the exercise of independent judgment by Mr. Thygesen.
With respect to Mr. Theis, our board of directors specifically considered Mr. Theis’s role as a director of Avaya Holdings Corp. (“Avaya”), including the Company’s compensation of Mr. Theis of $120,000 in cash for such board service, and the terms of our strategic partnership with Avaya. Our board of directors has concluded that our relationship with Avaya would not impede the exercise of independent judgment by Mr. Theis.
Our board of directors has determined that all of the members of our board of directors, except our CEO, Mr. Shmunis, are “independent” as defined in the applicable NYSE rules and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

Table of Contents
Leadership Structure
Mr. Shmunis currently serves as both Chairman of our board of directors and CEO. Our board of directors believes that the current board leadership structure, coupled with a strong emphasis on board independence, provides effective independent oversight of management while allowing the board and management to benefit from Mr. Shmunis’s leadership, Company specific experience and years of experience as an executive in the technology industry. Serving on our board of directors and as CEO since our founding in 1999, Mr. Shmunis is best positioned to identify strategic priorities, lead critical discussion and execute our strategy and business plans. Mr. Shmunis possesses detailed in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing us. Independent directors and management sometimes have different perspectives and roles in strategy development. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside of our Company, while the CEO brings Company specific experience and expertise. The board of directors believes that Mr. Shmunis’s combined role enables strong leadership, creates clear accountability and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to stockholders.
Lead Independent Director
Our corporate governance guidelines provide that one of our independent directors should serve as a lead independent director at any time when the Chairman is not independent. Because our CEO, Mr. Shmunis, is our Chairman, our board of directors appointed Mr. Theis to serve as our lead independent director. Our lead independent director presided over periodic meetings of our independent directors, served as a liaison between our Chairman and the independent directors and performed such additional duties as our board of directors otherwise determined and delegated.
Board Committees
Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors may establish other committees from time to time. The charters for each of our committees are available on our website at ir.ringcentral.com.
Audit Committee
Our audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting process and the audit of our financial statements and assists our board of directors in monitoring our financial systems and our legal and regulatory compliance. Our audit committee is responsible for, among other things:
appointing, approving the compensation of, supervising, evaluating and assessing the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;
pre-approving auditing and permissible non-audit services, and the terms of such services, to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm;
reviewing annually a report by the independent registered public accounting firm regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s internal quality control procedures and various issues relating thereto;
reviewing and discussing with management and the independent registered public accounting firm our annual and quarterly financial statements and related disclosures;
coordinating the oversight and reviewing the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting with both management and the independent registered public accounting firm;
establishing policies and procedures for the receipt and retention of accounting related complaints and concerns, including a confidential, anonymous mechanism for the submission of concerns by employees;
periodically reviewing legal compliance matters, including securities trading policies, periodically reviewing significant accounting and other financial risks or exposures to our Company and reviewing and, if appropriate, approving all transactions between our Company or its subsidiaries and any related party (as described in Item 404 of Regulation S-K);

establishing policies for the hiring of employees and former employees of the independent registered public accounting firm; and
reviewing the audit committee report required by SEC rules to be included in our annual proxy statement.
The audit committee has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties and the authority to retain counsel and advisors to fulfill its responsibilities and duties.
Our audit committee is currently comprised of Kenneth Goldman, Michelle McKenna and Neil Williams, who is the chairperson of the committee. Our board of directors has designated Kenneth Goldman, Michelle McKenna and Neil Williams as “audit committee financial experts,” as defined under the rules of the SEC implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
Our board of directors has considered the independence and other characteristics of each member of our audit committee and has concluded that the composition of our audit committee meets the requirements for independence under the current requirements of the NYSE and SEC rules and regulations. Audit committee members must satisfy additional independence criteria set forth under Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In order to be considered independent for purposes of the Rule 10A-3, an audit committee member may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, accept consulting, advisory or other fees from us or be an affiliated person of us. Each of the members of our audit committee qualifies as an independent director pursuant to Rule 10A-3.
No member of our audit committee should simultaneously serve on the audit committee of more than two additional public companies unless our board of directors determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the audit committee and discloses such determination in accordance with the requirements of the NYSE. Our board of directors has considered Mr. Goldman’s simultaneous service on the audit committees of RingCentral and three other public companies and has determined that such simultaneous service does not impair his ability to effectively serve as a member of our audit committee.
Compensation Committee
Our compensation committee oversees our compensation policies, plans and programs. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:
reviewing and recommending policies, plans and programs relating to compensation and benefits of our directors, officers and employees;
annually reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our chief executive officer and other executive officers;
annually evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer in light of such corporate goals and objectives and recommending the compensation of our chief executive officer and our other executive officers to the board of directors for its approval;
administering our equity compensations plans for our employees and directors; and
reviewing for inclusion in this Form 10-K/A the report of the compensation committee required by the SEC.
The compensation committee also has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties and the authority to retain counsel and advisors to fulfill its responsibilities and duties.
Our compensation committee is currently comprised of Michelle McKenna, Allan Thygesen and Robert Theis, who is the chairperson of the committee. Our board of directors has determined that each member of the compensation committee is an independent director for compensation committee purposes as that term is defined in the applicable rules of the NYSE and is a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(d)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees
The nominating committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. In its evaluation of director candidates, the nominating committee will consider the current size and composition of the board of directors and the needs of the board of directors and the respective committees of the board of directors. Some of the qualifications that the nominating committee considers include, without limitation, issues of character, integrity, judgment, diversity (with respect to diversity, such factors as gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, differences in professional background, education, skill and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experience represented on the board of directors), independence, area of expertise, corporate experience, length of service, potential conflicts of interest and other commitments. The nominating committee requires the following minimum qualifications to be satisfied by any nominee for a position on our board of directors, (1) the highest personal and professional ethics and integrity, (2) proven achievement and competence in the nominee’s field and the ability to exercise sound business judgment, (3) skills that are complementary to those of the existing members of our board of directors, (4) the ability to assist and support management and make significant contributions to the Company’s success, and (5) an understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities that are required of a member of our board of directors, and the commitment of time and energy necessary to diligently carry out those responsibilities. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the nominating committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem, from time to time, are in our and our stockholders’ best interests. The nominating committee may also take such measures that it considers appropriate in connection with its evaluation of a director candidate, including candidate interviews, inquiry of the person or persons making the recommendation or nomination, engagement of an outside search firm to gather additional information, or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the nominating committee, the board of directors or management.
Although the board of directors does not maintain a specific policy with respect to board diversity, the board of directors believes that the board should be a diverse body and is committed to increasing board diversity. Accordingly, the nominating committee considers a broad range of backgrounds, experiences and other factors as it oversees the annual board of

director and committee evaluations. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, the nominating committee recommends to the full board of directors the director nominees for selection.
Stockholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors
The nominating committee will consider candidates for director recommended by stockholders holding at least one percent (1%) of the fully diluted capitalization of the Company continuously for at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of the submission of the recommendation, so long as such recommendations comply with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of our Company and applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the SEC. The committee will evaluate such recommendations in accordance with its charter, our bylaws, our policies and procedures for director candidates, as well as the regular nominee criteria described above. This process is designed to ensure that the board of directors includes members with diverse backgrounds, skills and experience, including appropriate financial and other expertise relevant to our business. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination should contact our General Counsel or our Legal Department in writing. Such recommendations must include the information about the candidate, relevant qualifications, a signed letter from the candidate confirming willingness to serve, a statement of support by the recommending stockholder, information regarding any relationships between the candidate and the Company and evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of Company stock. The committee has discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.
Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of our directors and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable to us in general. In addition, we have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our chief executive and senior financial officers. The Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are available on our website at ir.ringcentral.com. We expect that any amendment to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website.
Risk Management
Risk is inherent with every business, and we face a number of risks, including strategic, financial, business and operational, legal and compliance, and reputational. We have designed and implemented processes to manage risk in our operations. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the Company faces, while our board of directors, as a whole and assisted by its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are appropriate and functioning as designed.
Our board of directors believes that open communication between management and the board of directors is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our board of directors meets with members of the senior management team at regular board meetings, where, among other topics, they discuss strategy and risks facing the Company.
While our board of directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, our board committees assist the board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. The risk management committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibilities for overseeing our risk management framework and activities, including the review of major risk areas including compliance, credit, data privacy, financial, legal, market, operational, property, regulatory, reputational, security (including cybersecurity), strategic, technology and any other risk areas deemed appropriate for review, as well as the steps taken to monitor and control those exposures, with particular responsibility for overseeing designated areas of risk that are not the primary responsibility of another committee of our board of directors or retained by our board of directors for its direct oversight. The audit committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in the areas of significant accounting and other financial risk exposure, and discusses with management and the independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The audit committee also reviews management’s assessment of the key risks facing us, including the key controls it relies on to mitigate those risks. The audit committee also monitors certain key risks at each of its regularly scheduled meetings, such as risk associated with internal control over financial reporting and liquidity risk. The nominating committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risk associated with board organization, membership and structure, and corporate governance. The compensation committee assesses risks created by the incentives inherent in our compensation philosophy and practices. Finally, the full board of directors reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of reports from the management team, receives reports on all significant committee activities at each regular meeting, and evaluates the risks inherent in significant transactions.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the members of our compensation committee is an officer or employee of our Company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee.
Non-Employee Director Compensation
Our board of directors has approved a compensation program for non-employee directors to attract, retain and reward its qualified directors and align the financial interests of the non-employee directors with those of our stockholders.
The compensation committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving the compensation paid to non-employee directors. The compensation committee reviews at least annually the type and form of compensation paid to our non-employee directors, which includes a market assessment and analysis by our independent compensation consulting firm, Compensia, Inc. (“Compensia”) regarding practices at comparable companies. As part of this analysis, Compensia reviews non-employee director compensation trends and data from companies comprising the same executive compensation peer group used by the compensation committee in connection with its review of executive compensation. Based on this review, the compensation committee has made adjustments to the non-employee director compensation program, most recently in July 2021, in an effort to provide competitive compensation opportunities for our non-employee directors.
Pursuant to this compensation program, each non-employee director receives cash and equity compensation for board services as described below. In addition, we reimburse our non-employee directors for expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings as well as continuing director education.
Cash Compensation
Our non-employee directors are entitled to receive the following cash compensation for their services:
$50,000 per year for service as a board member;
$30,000 per year for service as lead director;
$30,000 per year for service as chair of the audit committee;
$20,000 per year for service as chair of the compensation committee;
$15,000 per year for service as chair of the nominating committee;
$12,500 per year for service as member of the audit committee;
$10,000 per year for service as member of the compensation committee; and
$5,000 per year for service as member of the nominating committee.
All cash payments to non-employee directors are paid quarterly in arrears.
Equity Compensation
Our non-employee directors are entitled to receive the following equity compensation:
On the first trading day on or after June 1 of each year, each non-employee director will be granted an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) having an award value (as determined based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant) of $300,000, which award will vest in full on the date that is the earlier of: (i) the next annual meeting of stockholders and (ii) the one year from the date of grant, subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a service provider through such vesting date.
In addition, each person who becomes a non-employee director will receive an award of RSUs having an award value (as determined based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant) equal to (i) $300,000 multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months between the date the non-employee director becomes a member of the board and
11

Table of Contents
the first trading day on or after June 1 following such date and the denominator of which is 12. The date of grant for this award will be the date the non-employee director joins the board, or, if such date occurs during a Company blackout period, the fifth trading day following the expiration of such Company blackout period and any special blackout period in effect, subject to the director remaining on the board through the grant date. This grant will vest in full on the date that is one year from the date of grant, subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a service provider through such vesting date.
In the event of a change in control, 100% of the non-employee director’s outstanding and unvested equity awards will immediately vest and, if applicable, become exercisable. In no event will an award granted under the policy be greater than the non-employee director limits set forth in our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”).
The following table shows, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, certain information with respect to the compensation of all of our non-employee directors.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Such directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
SEC regulations require us to identify anyone who filed a required report late during the most recent year. Based on our review of forms we received, or written representations from reporting persons stating that they were not required to file these forms, we believe that during our fiscal ended December 31, 2021, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were satisfied on a timely basis, except for (i) one late Form 4 filing that was filed on behalf of Mr. Shmunis, our CEO and Chairman, on September 16, 2021, and (ii) one late Form 4 filing that was filed on behalf of Mr. Agarwal, our Chief Accounting Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, on August 24, 2021. Such late filings did not result in any liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

Table of Contents
Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation—Approved a bonus plan for our named executive officers that paid out only if we achieved quarterly revenue and Non-GAAP operating margin goals that were set to be aggressive and achievable with strong leadership from our executive team described in the “Annual Incentive Compensation” section below. Quarterly payouts under the plan were made in the form of RSUs that were fully vested upon grant (or for certain of the RSUs granted to Mr. Shmunis, on the first trading day after the grant date) in order to conserve cash resources and further align the interests of our stockholders and our executive officers, described in the “Annual Incentive Compensation” section below;
Annual Equity Compensation—Granted RSUs as part of our annual compensation in an effort to retain our named executive officers, provide incentives for them to continue to grow our business and enhance the link between their interests and the interests of our stockholders described in the “Equity Compensation” section below; and
Special Equity Compensation—Granted (i) an equity award of 2,178 RSUs to our CEO in April 2021 (effective in May 2021) in lieu of payment of $695,080 of his base salary for the period April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022, (ii) a special retention equity award of 56,396 RSUs to Mr. Eswaran, and (iii) an award of 13,995 RSUs to Mr. Shah upon his entering into a non-competition agreement with us in connection with his resignation.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The overall objective of our executive compensation program is to tie executive compensation to the performance of our Company. Our executive compensation is designed with a mix of short-term and long-term components, cash and equity elements and fixed and contingent payments in proportions that we believe provide appropriate incentives to retain and motivate our named executive officers, and other senior executives and management team and help to achieve success in our business.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. Our executive compensation program seeks to achieve this objective by ensuring that we can:
Reward talented executives, who possess the proven experience, knowledge, skills, and leadership criteria;
Motivate our executive officers by giving them a stake in our growth and prosperity and encouraging the continuance of their services with us; and
Align the interests of stockholders and named executive officers without creating an incentive for inappropriate risk-taking.
Based on this philosophy, we have designed our executive compensation program to encourage the achievement of strong overall financial results, particularly revenue growth and Non-GAAP operating margin.
Executive Compensation Policies and Practices
We endeavor to maintain compensation policies and practices that are consistent with sound governance standards. We believe it is important to provide competitive compensation packages and a high-quality work environment in order to hire, retain and motivate key personnel. Our compensation committee evaluates our executive compensation program on an ongoing basis to ensure that it is consistent with our short-term and long-term goals given the nature of the market in which we compete for key personnel. The following policies and practices were in effect during 2021:
Independent Compensation Committee. Our compensation committee is comprised solely of independent directors who have established effective means for communicating with each other and with stockholders, and implementing their executive compensation ideas, as well as addressing concerns;
Compensation Consultant. Our compensation committee engaged its own compensation consultant, Compensia, to assist with its 2021 compensation reviews. Compensia performed no other consulting or other services for us;
Annual Executive Compensation Review. Our compensation committee conducts an annual review and approval of our compensation strategy, including a review of our compensation peer group used for comparative purposes;
Performance-Based Compensation. Our executive compensation program is designed so that a significant portion of compensation is performance-based, and therefore “at risk,” dependent upon corporate performance, as well as
14

Table of Contents
equity-based to align the interests of our executive officers with our stockholders. The overall performance and contribution of the executive is also considered in determining each individual’s compensation;
Minimal Perquisites and Special Benefits. The members of our executive team are eligible to participate in broad-based Company-sponsored retirement, health and welfare benefits programs on the same basis as our other full-time, salaried employees. At this time, we do not provide any perquisites or other personal benefits to the members of our executive team;
No “Golden Parachute” Tax Reimbursements. We do not provide any tax reimbursement payments (including “gross-ups”) on any tax liability that our executive officers might owe as a result of the application of Sections 280G or 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”);
No Hedging and Pledging. Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits our employees, including our executive officers and the members of our board of directors, from hedging any Company securities and from pledging any Company securities as collateral for a loan;
No “Single-Trigger” Change-in-Control Arrangements; Double-Trigger” Change-in-Control Arrangements. There are no payments and benefits that are payable solely as a result of a change-in-control in the Company. All change-in-control payments and benefits are based on a “double-trigger” arrangement (that is, they require both a change-in-control of our Company plus an involuntary termination of employment before payments and benefits are paid); and
Stockholder Advisory Votes on Named Executive Officer Compensation. Our stockholders have an opportunity to cast an advisory vote to (i) approve our named executive officers’ compensation and (ii) approve the frequency of the vote to approve the named executive officers’ compensation. Our stockholders have voted in favor of annual advisory votes on the named executive officers’ compensation. At the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, approximately 70% of the votes cast voted to approve our named executive officers’ compensation. We believe that the results of this vote affirm our stockholders’ support of our approach to executive compensation, and therefore we have not made any significant changes to our executive compensation program. We will consider the results from this year’s and future years’ stockholder advisory votes on named executive officer compensation when making decisions about our executive compensation program. No changes in the overall structure of the programs were made in 2021.
Compensation-Setting Process
Compensation Committee
Each year, our compensation committee conducts a review of our executive compensation program and related policies and practices. At the beginning of each year, the compensation committee assesses the prior year performance and establishes bonus targets and metrics for the current year and annual equity award grants for our named executive officers. In addition, the compensation committee reviews and determines the base salary of our named executive officers. In determining the compensation of the members of our executive team, including our named executive officers, for 2021, our compensation committee reviewed the compensation arrangements, including base salary, target bonus and equity compensation, of our executive officers and considered an analysis of competitive market data presented by the compensation committee’s advisor, Compensia, a national compensation consulting firm that provides executive compensation advisory services, as well as our overall strategic business plan. Market data was used primarily as a reference point for measuring the competitive marketplace, and was one factor among others, used by the compensation committee in determining executive compensation. Other factors the compensation committee considers in making its executive compensation decisions include: input from our CEO, COO, CAO and Chief People Officer (except regarding their own compensation), past individual performance and expected future performance, vesting status and value of existing equity awards, and internal pay equity based on the impact of business and performance.
Role of Management
In carrying out its responsibilities, the compensation committee works with members of our management, including our CEO, COO, CAO and Chief People Officer. Typically, these members of management and our CFO assist the compensation committee in developing the annual bonus plans based on metrics that contain attainable target levels that are achievable through the commitment and leadership of our executive officers. Our CEO provides recommendations on compensation matters for our employees in general and all of his direct reports, including our executive officers. The CEO,
15

Table of Contents
COO, CAO and CFO usually attend compensation committee meetings. No members of management participate in discussions or decisions regarding their own compensation and none of them are present when their own compensation is determined.
Role of Compensation Consultant
Compensia has been engaged by and serves as the compensation committee’s compensation consultant. Compensia reviews the compensation arrangements of the members of our executive team and generally assists the compensation committee in analyzing executive officer and employee compensation, and the compensation of non-employee members of our board of directors. Compensia provides support for the compensation committee by attending meetings of the compensation committee, providing recommendations regarding the composition of our compensation peer group, analyzing compensation data and formulating recommendations for executive and non-employee director compensation. Our compensation committee also works directly with Compensia from time to time to obtain additional information or clarity regarding data provided by Compensia, and also requests specific analyses to assist the compensation committee in the design and structure of our executive and non-employee director compensation programs.
The compensation committee has determined that the work of Compensia does not give rise to any “conflict of interest” in accordance with Item 407(e)(3)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the listing standards of the NYSE.
Competitive Positioning
In setting executive compensation, our compensation committee uses publicly-available data on the compensation policies and practices of comparable publicly-traded companies as a reference to understand the competitive market for executive talent. With respect to decisions regarding the 2021 compensation of the members of our executive team, including the named executive officers, our compensation committee reviewed an analysis prepared by Compensia of competitive market data derived from a group of public software companies within a specific selection criteria, which included, but was not limited to, revenue between approximately $700 million and $20.3 billion for the trailing four quarters available as of December 1, 2020 and 30-day average market capitalizations of between approximately $16.6 billion and $227.5 billion as of December 1, 2020, and the companies in the following compensation peer group (which was approved by our compensation committee in December 2020):
AdobeServiceNowTwilio
DocuSignShopifyVeeva Systems
OktaSlack TechnologiesWorkday
Paycom SoftwareSplunkZoom Video Communications
Salesforce
In selecting the companies that comprised the compensation peer group, the compensation committee focused primarily on public companies in the same or similar country or countries of operation, industry group and financial comparability, which include revenue and market capitalization. The companies that comprise the peer group are our competitors in the labor and capital markets and have similar growth and performance potential.
This competitive market data was used as a reference in the course of our compensation committee’s review and evaluation of our executive compensation program and decisions regarding executive compensation in 2021. The competitive market data is useful to understand market practice and to provide a general context for its decisions. The compensation committee determines the nature and the extent of the use of market data, which varies by executive. Actual compensation is based on individual performance, experience, responsibilities and other criteria selected by our compensation committee. While the compensation committee does not target any component of our executive compensation program to a particular level versus the competitive market, our compensation committee generally refers to a range of the 50th to the 75th market percentile when making its executive compensation decisions. The competitive market data was not used to benchmark the compensation for our named executive officers.
Compensation Overview
Our executive compensation program for 2021 consisted of the following principal compensation elements:
Base salary (a portion of which was paid in the form of fully vested RSUs for certain named executive officers);
Annual incentive compensation paid if earned in the form of RSUs each quarter; and
16

Table of Contents
Long-term incentive compensation in the form of annual grants of time-based RSUs and a special equity award to our CEO in lieu of amounts that would have otherwise been paid as base salary.
We are committed to providing appropriate cash and equity incentives to compensate our named executive officers in a manner that our compensation committee determines is reasonable and appropriate to motivate and retain key talent.
Base Salary
Base salary is a customary, fixed element of compensation intended to attract and retain our named executive officers and compensate them for their day-to-day efforts. Our board of directors and/or the compensation committee reviews base salary every year, as well as at the time of a promotion or other change in responsibilities, and considers each executive officer’s performance, prior base salary level, the competitive market data, breadth of role, and the other factors described in the “Compensation Setting Process—Compensation Committee” section above. Our board of directors and the compensation committee do not target base pay at any particular level versus the competitive market data. In 2021, Messrs. Shmunis, Eswaran, and Dhruv received adjustments to base salary to (i) reflect changes to the competitive market and (ii) retain our named executive officers to grow and expand our business. The base salary changes were effective on April 1, 2021 for all named executive officers.
In June 2021, our compensation committee approved the 2021 NEO Equity Compensation Program (the “Equity Compensation Program”), which provided each then-named executive officer (other than Mr. Shmunis) the opportunity to receive all but $32,500 of his base salary for the period from June 16, 2021, through December 31, 2021, in the form of awards of fully vested RSUs to be granted under the 2013 Plan on the first trading day on or after June 15, August 15, and November 15 of 2021. The number of RSUs a participating named executive officer received on each grant date equaled the portion of his salary for the applicable period (as noted below) that was to be paid in RSUs divided by the closing price of a share of our Class A common stock on the grant date. Messrs. Eswaran, Dhruv, and Marlow elected to participate in the Equity Compensation Program. In November 2021, the compensation committee approved a similar plan providing each then-named executive officer (other than Mr. Shmunis) the opportunity to receive all but $60,000 of his base salary for 2022 in the form of awards of fully vested RSUs. Each year the compensation committee will assess whether to continue the Equity Compensation Program.
The following table sets forth the 2021 base salary for each of our named executive officers.

Annual Incentive Compensation
The compensation committee establishes annual incentive compensation opportunities under our bonus plan (the “Bonus Plan”). Consistent with our historical practices, bonuses for 2021 under the Bonus Plan were designed to motivate and reward our named executive officers, to perform to the best of their abilities and to achieve our objectives.
Target Annual Incentive Opportunities
In April 2021, the compensation committee reviewed the target annual incentive opportunities of our named executive officers, taking into consideration each named executive officer’s total annual compensation opportunity, the competitive market data with an emphasis generally on the 50th through 75th percentile of total target cash compensation opportunities, breadth of responsibilities and the other factors described in the “Compensation Setting Process—Compensation Committee” section above. The compensation committee increased the target annual incentive opportunity for Messrs. Marlow and Shah to a level that, when considered together with his base salary, the compensation committee believed provided the appropriate incentive and retention effect.
The target annual incentive opportunities of our named executive officers for 2021 were:

2021 Bonus Plan Design and Achievement
For 2021, there are four quarterly performance periods, ending on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. The bonus pool under the Bonus Plan funds based on our achievement against the quarterly target levels established by the compensation committee of the following performance metrics (weighted 50% each): (i) revenues and (ii) Non-GAAP operating margin. These metrics have the following meanings under the Bonus Plan:
revenues” means the Company’s net revenues generated from third parties, including both services revenues and other revenues, each as defined in our Form 10-K filed for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021. Net revenue is defined as gross sales less any pertinent discounts, refunds, or other contra-revenue amounts, as presented on the Company’s press release reporting the applicable quarterly financial results.
Non-GAAP operating margin” means the Company’s Non-GAAP income from operations divided by its “revenues.” Non-GAAP income from operations means the Company’s “revenues” less cost of revenues and operating expenses, excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, legal settlement related charges and as adjusted for certain acquisitions, as presented on the Company’s press release reporting the applicable quarterly financial results.
With respect to revenues, for 100% of the bonus pool for any particular quarter to fund, 100% to 101% of the quarterly revenues target established by the compensation committee was to be achieved. For each 0.1% of revenues that was achieved above the 101% of the quarterly revenues target established by the compensation committee, the bonus pool with respect to revenue would be increased by 1%, and for each 0.1% of revenue that was achieved below 100% of the quarterly revenues target established by the compensation committee, the bonus pool with respect to revenues would be reduced by 1%.
With respect to Non-GAAP operating margin, for 100% of the bonus pool for any particular quarter to fund, the quarterly Non-GAAP operating margin must be within 0.4 points of the 100% of the quarterly Non-GAAP operating margin target established by the compensation committee (this 0.8-point range, the “quarterly Non-GAAP operating margin target range”). For each 0.1% of the Non-GAAP operating margin that was achieved above the quarterly Non-GAAP operating
18

Table of Contents
margin target range, the bonus pool with respect to Non-GAAP operating margin would be increased by 1% (up to a maximum of 120%), and for each 0.1% of Non-GAAP operating margin that was below the quarterly Non-GAAP operating margin target range, the bonus pool with respect to Non-GAAP operating margin would be reduced by 1%.
For the bonus pool under the Bonus Plan to fund for any particular quarter, we had to achieve (i) quarterly revenues at least equal to revenues expected by analyst consensus estimates after we publicly disclosed our guidance for such quarter, and (ii) quarterly Non-GAAP operating margin at least equal to Non-GAAP operating margin expected by analyst consensus estimates after we publicly disclosed our guidance for such quarter.
The following chart sets forth our 2021 quarterly targets against each metric under the Bonus Plan, actual achievement against those targets, and the corresponding percentage payouts to the named executive officer each quarter:

Payout (% of Target)103.5 %122.6 %142.0 %147.6 %100.0 %102.7 %101.9 %93.0 %
Based upon our actual financial performance as measured against the approved performance metrics and the formula under the Bonus Plan, the payout percentages for each of the four quarters in 2021 were as follows: 101.8% (Q1), 113.3% (Q2), 122.0% (Q3) and 120.3% (Q4).
In December 2020, our compensation committee approved the 2021 Key Employee Equity Bonus Plan (the “Key Employee Bonus Plan”), which provided that the then-named executive officers will receive any quarterly bonus achieved and payable under the Bonus Plan for 2021 in the form of RSUs granted under the 2013 Plan. The number of RSUs each named executive officer received equaled the dollar value of the quarterly bonus divided by the lower of the closing price of a share of our Class A common stock (i) on the first trading day of the quarter for which the quarterly bonus is assessed or (ii) on the first trading day on or after May 15, August 15, November 15 or February 15 (or for the RSUs granted to Mr. Shmunis in payment of his bonuses for the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2021, the first trading day on or before August 19, November 19, or February 19) following the quarter for which the quarterly bonus is assessed. The RSUs issued to our named executive officers were fully vested upon grant. In November 2021, the compensation committee approved a similar plan governing 2022 bonuses. Each year the compensation committee will assess whether to continue the Key Employee Bonus Plan.
The aggregate dollar values of the bonuses earned by our named executive officers under the Bonus Plan for 2021 are listed in the “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. As described above and in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table, each earned quarterly bonus was paid in the form of RSUs that are listed in the 2021 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below.
Equity Compensation
We use RSUs to deliver long-term incentive compensation opportunities to our named executive officers. Consistent with our compensation objectives, we believe this approach helps to ensure that the interests of the members of executive team are aligned with those of our stockholders and that we are able to attract and reward our top talent. In 2021, the compensation committee determined not to grant stock options to our named executive officers and to grant only RSUs to management in order to better identify the interests of our named executive officers and our stockholders and to reduce our corporate-wide dilution.
The compensation committee does not target equity compensation at any particular level versus the competitive market data, although it uses the range of the 50th percentile to the 75th percentile as a reference point during the course of its deliberations. RSUs serve as a retention tool as they vest based on continued service over time.
Except for the RSUs granted to Mr. Shmunis in lieu of payment of his salary in cash, the RSUs granted to Mr. Eswaran as a special retention award, and the RSUs granted to Mr. Shah under his non-competition agreement (which are discussed below), RSUs generally vest 1/16 every three months and become fully vested after four years, in each case, subject to the executive officer’s continued service as of each vesting date. In addition, each named executive officer is entitled to certain vesting acceleration benefits upon a qualifying termination, as described in the “Executive Employment Arrangements” and “Other Change in Control Provisions” sections below.

Table of Contents
In April 2021, our compensation committee approved annual equity awards to the members of our executive team to reward them for our strong corporate performance and their individual performance, with such equity award grants becoming effective in May 2021. In determining the size of these awards, the compensation committee took into consideration each executive officer’s current vested and unvested equity holdings, competitive market data, and the other factors described in the “Compensation Setting Process—Compensation Committee” section above.
The intended values of the annual equity awards to the named executive officers granted in May 2021 are listed below, and the number of shares covered by each of these equity awards is equal to the award’s intended value divided by the average closing price of a share of our common stock during the month of April 2021, rounded up to the nearest whole share.
NameIntended Value of RSUs
Vladimir Shmunis$18,000,000 
Anand Eswaran$28,000,000 
Mitesh Dhruv$28,000,000 
John Marlow$12,000,000 
Praful Shah$6,000,000 
In addition, in April 2021, we granted Mr. Shmunis a special equity award of 2,178 RSUs (effective in May 2021) in lieu of payment in cash of $695,080 of his salary for the period from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022, in order to conserve cash resources and to enhance the link between Mr. Shmunis’s interest and those of our stockholders. These RSU awards vest 1/4 every three months and become fully vested after one year, subject to Mr. Shmunis’s continued service as of each vesting date. In addition, Mr. Shmunis is entitled to certain vesting acceleration benefits upon qualifying termination, as described in the “Executive Employment Arrangements” and “Other Change in Control Provisions” sections below.
In April 2021, our compensation committee approved the grant of a special retention equity award of 56,396 RSUs to Mr. Eswaran, effective in May 2021. The number of shares covered by the equity award is equal to the award’s intended value of $18,000,000 divided by the average closing price of a share of our common stock during the month of April 2021, rounded up to the nearest whole share. The RSUs vested 1/8 on May 20, 2021 and 1/8 every three months thereafter. In addition, in 2021, Mr. Eswaran received the following RSU awards under our Equity Compensation Program (i) an award of 353 RSUs in lieu of payment in cash of $94,167 of his salary for the period from June 16, 2021 through August 15, 2021, (ii) an award of 578 RSUs in lieu of payment in cash of $141,250 of his salary for the period from August 16, 2021 through November 15, 2021, and (iii) an award of 267 RSUs in lieu of payment in cash of $70,625 of his salary for the period from November 16, 2021 through December 31, 2021. In connection with his resignation in December 2021, Mr. Eswaran forfeited all of his then-unvested equity awards.
In May 2021, Mr. Dhruv received the following RSU awards under our Equity Compensation Program; (i) an award of 306 RSUs in lieu of payment in cash of $81,667 of his salary for the period from June 16, 2021 through August 15, 2021, (ii) an award of 501 RSUs in lieu of payment in cash of $122,500 of his salary for the period from August 16, 2021 through November 15, 2021, and (iii) an award of 232 RSUs in lieu of payment in cash of $61,250 of his salary for the period from November 16, 2021 through December 31, 2021. In connection with his resignation in December 2021, Mr. Dhruv forfeited all of his then-unvested equity awards.
In May 2021, Mr. Marlow received the following RSU awards under our Equity Compensation Program; (i) an award of 197 RSUs in lieu of payment in cash of $52,500 of his salary for the period from June 16, 2021 through August 15, 2021, (ii) an award of 322 RSUs in lieu of payment in cash of $78,750 of his salary for the period from August 16, 2021 through November 15, 2021, and (iii) an award of 149 RSUs in lieu of payment in cash of $39,375 of his salary for the period from November 16, 2021 through December 31, 2021.
In connection with Mr. Shah’s resignation, in August 2021, our compensation committee approved a grant of 13,995 RSUs to him effective on the date he entered into a non-competition agreement with us (which is described in the “Post‑Employment Compensation” section below). If Mr. Shah complies with the non-competition agreement through the non‑competition period, all shares subject to the equity award will vest on August 20, 2022.
The grant date fair values of these equity awards granted to our named executive officers are listed in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table and in the 2021 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below.

Table of Contents
As discussed above, we also issued RSUs to our named executive officers under the Key Employee Bonus Plan in settlement of their annual incentive payments under the Bonus Plan for 2021. These RSUs are listed in the 2021 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below.
Welfare and Other Employee Benefits
Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the same group insurance and employee benefit plans generally available to our other salaried employees in the U.S. These benefits include medical, dental, vision, and disability benefits and other plans and programs made available to other eligible employees. We have a qualified defined contribution plan under Code Section 401(k) covering eligible employees, including our named executive officers. All participants in the plan, including each named executive officer, are eligible to make pre-tax contributions. We provide a Company 401(k) plan matching program of 50% of the employee’s contributions up to the lesser of 6% of employee cash compensation and $4,050 per year. All participant 401(k) contributions and earnings, as well as all matching contributions and earnings, are fully and immediately vested.
Perquisites
We do not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of our executive compensation program. Accordingly, we generally do not provide special plans or programs for our named executive officers.
All practices with respect to perquisites or other personal benefits will be subject to review and approval by the compensation committee.
Post-Employment Compensation
Vladimir Shmunis and John Marlow
Our employment agreements with Messrs. Shmunis and Marlow provide for certain payments and benefits in the event of a qualifying termination of employment, including a termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company. We believe that these agreements will enable our named executive officers to maintain their focus and dedication to their responsibilities to help maximize stockholder value by minimizing distractions due to the possibility of an involuntary termination of employment or a termination of employment in connection with a potential change in control of the Company. We also believe that these arrangements further our interest in encouraging retention among our named executive officers.
In addition, these named executive officers are participants in the Company’s Equity Acceleration Policy which contains provisions providing for double-trigger vesting upon certain changes in control, as described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below. We believe this policy provides important retention incentives for our key contributors through and following a change in control.
Anand Eswaran
We entered into an executive employment offer letter with Mr. Eswaran, our former President and COO, dated December 23, 2019. Under the offer letter, Mr. Eswaran was eligible to receive certain payments and benefits upon certain terminations of his employment with the Company. Mr. Eswaran also was a participant in the Equity Acceleration Policy, which is described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below. Mr. Eswaran did not receive any of the severance benefits under his offer letter or the Equity Acceleration Policy upon his resignation.
Mitesh Dhruv
We entered into an executive employment offer letter with Mr. Dhruv, our former CFO, on March 1, 2012, which was subsequently amended on July 28, 2017. Under the terms of the executive employment offer letter, in the event we terminated Mr. Dhruv’s employment without “cause” or he voluntarily terminated for “good reason” (with such terms defined in the supplement to his offer letter), he would have been eligible to receive (i) a cash severance payment equal to 12 months of his base salary, payable in semi-monthly installments in accordance with our payroll procedures, and (ii) payment by us for up to 12 months of COBRA premiums to continue health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents, in each case,
21

Table of Contents
subject to his signing and not revoking a release agreement with us. Mr. Dhruv also was a participant in the Equity Acceleration Policy, which is described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below.
Mr. Dhruv did not receive any of the severance benefits under his offer letter or the Equity Acceleration Policy upon his resignation.
Praful Shah
We entered into an executive employment offer letter with Mr. Shah, our former CSO, dated March 31, 2008. Under the offer letter, Mr. Shah was eligible to receive certain payments and benefits upon certain terminations of his employment with the Company. Mr. Shah also was a participant in the Equity Acceleration Policy, which is described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below. Mr. Shah did not receive any of the severance benefits under his offer letter or the Equity Acceleration Policy upon his resignation.
In connection with his resignation, on September 2, 2021, Mr. Shah entered into a non-competition agreement effective as of the date his resignation became effective. Under the non-competition agreement, Mr. Shah has agreed to not, without the prior written consent of the Company, engage in certain competitive business activities towards the Company or solicit certain other individuals to participate in such activities from the period commencing on the effective date of his resignation until August 20, 2022. Mr. Shah received an award of 13,995 RSUs upon his entering into the non-competition agreement, as described above. On the effective date of his resignation, Mr. Shah forfeited all of his other then-unvested equity awards.
Executive Employment Arrangements
The initial terms and conditions of employment for each of our executive officers (including our named executive officers that remain with us) are set forth in a written employment agreement. Each of these agreements was approved on our behalf by our board of directors or the compensation committee, as applicable.
We develop competitive compensation packages to attract qualified candidates in a highly-competitive labor market. We believe that these arrangements will help the named executive officers maintain continued focus and dedication to their responsibilities to help maximize stockholder value if there is a potential transaction that could involve a change in control of our Company.
Vladimir Shmunis
We entered into an executive employment letter with Mr. Shmunis, our CEO, dated September 13, 2013. In 2021, Mr. Shmunis’s annual base salary was $700,000, and he was eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to 100% of his base salary. The executive employment letter with Mr. Shmunis provides for a three-year employment term and may be extended by mutual agreement at the end of the term, but either we or Mr. Shmunis may terminate the employment relationship with us at any time.
If prior to the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months after a change of control of the Company (such period, the “Change of Control Period”), Mr. Shmunis’s employment is terminated without “cause” (excluding by reason of death or “disability”) or he resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the executive employment letter), he will be eligible to receive the following payments and benefits if he timely signs and does not revoke a release agreement with us:
continued payment of base salary for a period of 12 months; and
payment by us for up to 12 months of COBRA premiums to continue health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents, or taxable monthly payments for the equivalent period in the event payment for COBRA premiums would violate applicable law.
If, within the Change of Control Period, his employment is terminated without cause (excluding by reason of death or “disability”) or he resigns for good reason, he will be entitled to the following payments and benefits if he timely signs and does not revoke a release agreement with us:
a lump sum payment equal to (i) 18 months of his annual base salary, plus (ii) 1.5x the greater of his target annual bonus for the year of the change of control or the year of his termination;
22

Table of Contents
payment by us for up to 18 months of COBRA premiums to continue health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents, or taxable monthly payments for the equivalent period in the event payment for COBRA premiums would violate applicable law; and
100% accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards.
In the event any of the amounts provided for under the executive employment letter or otherwise payable to Mr. Shmunis would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and could be subject to the related excise tax, Mr. Shmunis would be entitled to receive either full payment of benefits under the executive employment letter or such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of after-tax benefits to Mr. Shmunis. The executive employment letter does not require us to provide any tax gross-up payments.
John Marlow
We entered into an executive employment offer letter with John Marlow, our current Chief Administrative Officer, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, General Counsel and Secretary, dated September 13, 2013. The executive employment offer letter has no specific term and provides for at-will employment. In 2021, Mr. Marlow’s base salary was $375,000, and he was eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to approximately 100% of his base salary.
In the event we terminate Mr. Marlow’s employment without “cause” (as such term is defined in his offer letter) and excluding by reason of death or disability, he is eligible to receive severance equal to three months of his base salary, payable in installments in accordance with our payroll procedures, subject to his signing and not revoking a release agreement with us.
Mr. Marlow is a participant in the Equity Acceleration Policy as described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below.
Other Change in Control Provisions
Messrs. Shmunis and Marlow are eligible(and prior to the terminations of their employment with us, Messrs. Eswaran, Dhruv, and Shah were eligible) to participate in our Equity Acceleration Policy. Pursuant to our Equity Acceleration Policy, on a termination of an eligible employee’s employment either (i) by the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) other than for “cause,” death, or “disability” or (ii) by the eligible employee for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Equity Acceleration Policy or individual participation agreement), in either case, during the period beginning 60 days prior to a “change of control” (as defined in the Equity Acceleration Policy) and ending 12 months following a change of control, then, subject to the eligible employee’s signing and not revoking a release, the then-unvested shares subject to each of the eligible employee’s then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest and, in the case of equity awards that are stock options and stock appreciation rights, will become exercisable to the extent set forth in the eligible employee’s participation agreement.
If any payment or benefit that an eligible employee would receive from the Company or any other party whether in connection with the Equity Acceleration Policy or otherwise would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and could be subject to the related excise tax, the eligible employee would be entitled to receive either full payment of the payments and benefits under or such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of after-tax benefits to the eligible employee.
Each named executive officer, other than Mr. Shmunis, signed a participation agreement under the Equity Acceleration Policy providing for 100% vesting acceleration of their then-outstanding unvested equity awards. The provisions of the participation agreement superseded any double trigger equity acceleration provisions of any offer letter, employment agreement or equity award.
In March 2020, our compensation committee determined that for the awards of RSUs granted to Messrs. Shmunis, Dhruv, and Eswaran in the event of the termination without “cause”, termination “for good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Equity Acceleration Policy) or death or disability of Messrs. Shmunis, Dhruv, and Eswaran, the vesting of any awards of RSUs to be granted to such executive officer in fiscal 2020 that would have vested had such executive officer remained employed with the Company through the date that is 12 months following his effective last day with us will be accelerated (other than in connection with a death or disability from high-risk activities such as skydiving or free climbing).

Other Compensation Policies
Equity Award Grant Policy
Our equity award grant policy formalizes our process for granting equity-based awards. Under our equity award grant policy, our board of directors or the compensation committee may grant equity awards at any time. It is our policy to not time equity award grants in relation to the release of material non-public information. Under the policy, the compensation committee has delegated limited authority to a committee consisting of our CEO and a member of the compensation committee to grant equity awards to employees below the level of Vice President and certain other service providers other than the members of our board of directors.
Compensation Recovery Policy
Currently, we have not implemented a policy regarding retroactive adjustments to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to our named executive officers and other employees where the payments were predicated upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a financial restatement. We intend to adopt a general compensation recovery, or clawback, policy covering our annual and long-term incentive award plans and arrangements once the SEC adopts final rules implementing the requirement of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Derivatives Trading, Hedging and Pledging Policy
Pursuant to our insider trading policy, our employees, including the members of our executive team and the members of our board of directors, are prohibited from engaging in transactions involving derivative securities or otherwise that would hedge the risk of ownership of our equity securities and from pledging our equity securities as collateral for a loan.
Tax and Accounting Considerations
Tax Considerations
We have not provided any of our named executive officers with a gross-up or other reimbursement for tax amounts the individual might pay pursuant to Code Sections 280G, 4999 or 409A. Code Sections 280G and 4999 provide that named executive officers, directors who hold significant stockholder interests and certain other service providers could be subject to significant additional taxes if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control of our Company that exceeds certain limits, and that we or our successor could lose a deduction on the amounts subject to the additional tax. Code Section 409A also imposes significant taxes on the individual in the event that an executive officer, director or other service provider receives “deferred compensation” that does not meet the requirements of Code Section 409A.
Under Code Section 162(m), we are subject to limits on the deductibility of executive compensation. Deductible compensation is limited to $1 million per year for the CEO and certain of our current and former highly compensated executive officers (collectively “covered employees”). While we cannot predict how the deductibility limit may impact our compensation program in future years, we intend to maintain an approach to executive compensation that strongly links pay to performance. In addition, although we have not adopted a formal policy regarding tax deductibility of compensation paid to our named executive officers, the compensation committee may consider tax deductibility under Code Section 162(m) as a factor in its compensation decisions.
Accounting Considerations
We take financial reporting implications into consideration in designing compensation plans and arrangements for the members of our executive team, other employees and members of our board of directors. These accounting considerations include Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC Topic 718”), the standard which governs the accounting treatment of stock-based compensation awards.
Compensation-Related Risk
Our board of directors is responsible for the oversight of our risk profile, including compensation-related risks. Our compensation committee monitors our compensation policies and practices as applied to our employees to ensure that these policies and practices do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk-taking. In cooperation with management, our compensation committee reviewed our 2021 compensation programs. Our compensation committee believes the mix and
24

Table of Contents
design of the elements of such programs do not encourage our employees to assume excessive risks and accordingly are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company. We have designed our compensation programs to be balanced so that our employees are focused on both short-term and long-term financial and operational performance. In particular, the weighting towards long-term incentive compensation discourages short-term risk taking. Goals are appropriately set with targets that encourage growth in the business.
Report of the Compensation Committee

CEO Pay Ratio
Under SEC rules, we are required to provide information regarding the relationship between the total annual compensation of Mr. Shmunis, our Chief Executive Officer, and the total annual compensation of our median employee (other than Mr. Shmunis). For our last completed fiscal year, which ended December 31, 2021:
The median of the total annual compensation of all employees (other than Mr. Shmunis) of ours (including our consolidated subsidiaries) was $163,350.
Mr. Shmunis’s total annual compensation, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Form 10-K/A, was $19,221,811.
Based on the above, for fiscal 2021, the ratio of Mr. Shmunis’s total annual compensation to the median of the total annual compensation of all employees was 118 to 1.
This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and based upon our reasonable judgment and assumptions. The SEC rules do not specify a single methodology for identification of the median employee or calculation of the pay ratio, and other companies may use assumptions and methodologies that are different from those used by us in calculating their pay ratio. Accordingly, the pay ratio disclosed by other companies may not be comparable to our pay ratio as disclosed above.
The methodology we used to calculate the pay ratio is described below.
We determined the median of the total annual compensation of all of our employees as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, we (including our consolidated subsidiaries) had approximately 3,915 full-time, part-time and temporary employees, approximately 2,489 out of the 3,915 (or approximately 63.6%) are U.S. employees, and approximately 1,426 out of the 3,916 (or approximately 36.4%) are located outside of the United States.
32

Table of Contents
We then compared the sum of (i) the total annual cash compensation earned by each of these employees for fiscal 2021 as reflected in our payroll records plus (ii) the fair value of equity awards (as determined in accordance with footnote 1 of the fiscal Summary Compensation Table) granted to these employees in fiscal 2021, to determine the median employee, without annualizing the compensation of any employees who started their employment with us in fiscal 2021 but did not work for us or our consolidated subsidiaries for the entire year. Compensation paid in foreign currency was converted to U.S. dollars using currency conversion ratios in effect as of January 1, 2022. In determining the median total compensation of all of these employees, we did not make any cost of living adjustments to the wages paid to any employee outside of the U.S.
Once we identified our median employee, we estimated the median employee’s total annual compensation in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, yielding the median total annual compensation disclosed above. With respect to Mr. Shmunis’s total annual compensation, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our fiscal Summary Compensation Table included in this Form 10-K/A.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of March 31, 2022, for:
each of our named executive officers;
each of our directors;
all of our directors and current executive officers as a group; and
each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of our voting securities.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.
We have deemed shares of our common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2022, and shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs within 60 days of March 31, 2022, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the option or the RSUs, respectively, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person. However, we have not treated such shares as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. We have based percentage ownership of our common stock on 84,941,677 shares of our Class A common stock and 9,955,674 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o RingCentral, Inc., 20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California 94002.

(3)Our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan provides that the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2014 fiscal year, in an amount equal to the least of (i) 6,200,000 shares, (ii) five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of all classes of common stock of the company on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) such other amount as the Board of Directors may determine.
(4)Our Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) provides that the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the ESPP will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2014 fiscal year, in an amount equal to the least of (i) 1,250,000 shares, (ii) one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of all classes of common stock of the company on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) such other amount as the Board of Directors may determine.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
In addition to the compensation arrangements, including employment, termination of employment and change in control arrangements discussed above in the sections titled “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance—Non-Employee Director Compensation” and “Executive Compensation,” the following is a description of each transaction since January 1, 2021 and each currently proposed transaction in which:
we have been or are to be a participant;
the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000; and
any of our directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Investor Rights Agreement
We are party to an investor rights agreement which provides, among other things, that certain holders of our common stock, including stockholders affiliated with some of our directors, have the right to request that we file a registration statement or request that their shares be covered by a registration statement that we are otherwise filing.
Employment Arrangement
David Theis, who is the son of Rob Theis, a member of our board of directors and chairperson of our compensation committee, is employed by us in a non-executive capacity. His compensation for 2021 was comprised of cash salary payments of $219,732, RSUs with a grant date fair market value of $174,558 and benefits available to full-time employees. David Theis’s compensation is determined independently using Radford market data in the same manner as other employees with similar responsibilities and tenure at the Company. Rob Theis plays no personal role in determining his son’s compensation or reviewing his son’s performance.
Limitation of Officer and Director Liability and Indemnification Arrangements
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws each provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits our certificate of incorporation from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or to our stockholders;
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. Our certificate of incorporation will not eliminate a director’s duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, remain available under Delaware law. This provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under our bylaws, we will also be empowered to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted to indemnify.
In addition to the indemnification required in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers. These agreements provide for the indemnification of our directors and executive officers for certain expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or hearing, inquiry or investigation that may lead to the foregoing, to which they are a party, or are threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of our Company, or any of our subsidiaries, by reason of any action or inaction by them while serving as an officer, director, agent or fiduciary, or by reason of the fact that they were serving at our request as a

director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another entity. Under the indemnification agreements, indemnification will only be provided in situations where the indemnified parties acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interest, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to situations where they had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action or proceeding by or in the right of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, no indemnification will be provided for any claim where a court determines that the indemnified party is prohibited from receiving indemnification. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.
Other than as described above under this section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence,” since January 1, 2021, we have not entered into any transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, between us and a related party where the amount involved exceeds, or would exceed, $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We believe the terms of the transactions described above were comparable to terms we could have obtained in arm’s-length dealings with unrelated third parties.
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
We have adopted a policy that our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our common stock and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related party transaction with us without the prior consent of our audit committee. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, nominee for election as a director, beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our common stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and such person would have a direct or indirect interest must first be presented to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our audit committee considers the material facts of the transaction, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. In addition, our board of directors has delegated to each of our CEO, our CFO and our General Counsel, as appropriate, the authority to review and approve, as applicable, any such transaction in which the aggregate amount involved is expected to be less than $120,000, provided that such person charged with such review or approval is not the related person. In connection with each regularly scheduled meeting of our audit committee, a summary of each related party transaction approved in accordance with this paragraph shall be provided to the audit committee for its review.

Audit Committee Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Consistent with requirements of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) regarding auditor independence, our audit committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, our audit committee has established a policy for the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services.
All services were pre-approved by our audit committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by KPMG, was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The audit committee’s pre-approval policy provides for the pre-approval of audit, audit-related and tax services specifically described by the audit committee on an annual basis, and unless a type of service is pre-approved under the policy, it will require separate pre-approval by the audit committee if it is to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. The policy authorizes the audit committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services.
