TABLE OF CONTENTS

HOW WE ARE ORGANIZED Overboarding Our Board recognizes the importance of our directors’ ability to commit significant time and attention to fulfill their responsibilities to the Company. Therefore, our Corporate Governance Guidelines state that a director shall not serve on the boards of directors of more than four publicly traded companies, including Veeva, without the consent of the Nominating and Governance Committee. A director who is also an executive officer of a publicly traded company (or serving in a similarly demanding full-time employment role) shall not serve on the boards of directors of more than three publicly traded companies, including Veeva, without the consent of the Nominating and Governance Committee. As of the date of this proxy statement, none of our directors exceed our overboarding policy. While Mr. Sekhri complies with our overboarding policy and that of ISS and many of our shareholders, we recognize that certain shareholders may have different requirements.

| • | Mr. Sekhri consistently serves with a high level of availability and commitment to our Board, including his attendance at every Board and Nominating and Governance Committee meeting in fiscal 2025; |

| • | As a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee, Mr. Sekhri has made substantial contributions to Board recruitment and the governance changes described in this proxy statement, demonstrating his strong performance as a Board member over the years; |

| • | Mr. Sekhri’s performance and availability to Veeva; |

| • | Mr. Sekhri is a member
