TABLE OF CONTENTS

#### Board Recommendation
Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025.

#### Audit Committee Report
BlackLine’s management is responsible for (i) establishing and maintaining internal controls and (ii) preparing BlackLine’s consolidated financial statements. BlackLine’s independent registered public accounting firm, PwC, is responsible for performing an independent audit of BlackLine’s consolidated financial statements and BlackLine’s internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”), and to issue a report thereon. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to oversee these activities. It is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to prepare BlackLine’s financial statements. These are the fundamental responsibilities of management. In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has:

• reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2024 with the management of BlackLine and PwC;

• discussed with PwC the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB; and

• received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC as required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with PwC that firm’s independence.

Based on the Audit Committee’s review of the audited financial statements
