 interests of stockholders and to promote the Company’s commitment to sound corporate governance, the Board of Directors has established minimum stock ownership guidelines for the non-employeedirectors. Under these guidelines, each non-employeedirector is required to own shares of Common Stock (including unvested RSAs) with a value equal to five times the amount of annual cash compensation payable to each non-employeedirector for the then-current year, exclusive of any fees payable for service as Lead Independent Director, chairperson of a committee or service on a committee. Non-employeedirectors who were serving on the Board of Directors as of September 25, 2021 are required to achieve compliance with these guidelines by September 25, 2026. Non-employeedirectors elected or appointed since September 25, 2021 and future non-employeedirectors are required to achieve compliance with these guidelines within five years of becoming a director. Each director’s ownership level was initially calculated as of May 15, 2023 (or if a director was elected or 26

appointed after May 15, 2023, as of the date of his or her election or employment). If the director does not meet the required compliance level as of such measurement date, the director’s ownership level is re-calculatedannually on the date of each annual meeting until the compliance level is attained. Once a director achieves the required guidance level, no further recalculation is required unless the annual cash retainer changes. As of March 12, 2025, each non-employeedirector has met (or is expected to meet within the applicable period) the requirements of the stock ownership guidelines. A copy of the stock ownership guidelines is available on our website at investors.paycom.com/corporate-governance. Stockholder Engagement We maintain an ongoing dialogue with our stockholders.
