 nine directors for a one-year term), Proposal No. 2 (the advisory vote on executive compensation), or Proposal No. 4 (the approval of the additional shares to be available for issuance under Commvault’s 2016 Incentive Plan).

What if I return a proxy card but don’t mark all of my choices?

If we have a properly executed, unrevoked proxy card that does not specifically direct the voting of shares, the shares represented by such proxy will be voted (i) FOR the election of all nominees for election as director described in this proxy statement, (ii) FOR approval, on an advisory basis, of our executive compensation, (iii) FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, (iv) FOR the approval of the additional 1.3 million shares to be available for issuance under the 2016 Incentive Plan, and (v) in accordance with the judgment of the individuals named on the proxy card as to such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

#### What if I change my mind after I vote?
You can revoke your proxy at any time prior to the voting at the Annual Meeting by submitting a later-dated proxy (including a later-dated proxy via the internet or telephone), by giving timely written notice of such revocation to our Corporate Secretary, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (virtually). If you attend the Annual Meeting and do not vote, it will not affect any previously submitted proxy or voting instructions.

#### Who is paying for this solicitation?
Commvault will pay all expenses related to the solicitation of proxies. Solicitation will be made by mail, and may be made by directors, officers, and employees, personally or by telephone, email, or other electronic means. Proxy cards and material also will be distributed to beneficial owners of our stock through brokers, custodians, nominees, and other like parties, and we expect to reimburse such parties for their charges and expenses.

How can I submit a proposal or a nomination for the 2026 Annual Meeting?
