TABLE OF CONTENTS

How We Are Selected, Elected, and Evaluated Board and Committee Evaluations Pursuant to its charter, which can be found on the Investors portion of our website at ir.veeva.com, the Nominating and Governance Committee oversees the self-evaluation of the Board, and since 2015, we have engaged a third party to conduct interviews with each director regarding, among other things, Board and Board committee membership, structure, performance, and areas for improvement. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the Board as a whole, and we believe that this process allows Board members to:

| • | Gain a better understanding of what it means to be an effective Board, including identifying strategies to enhance Board performance; |

| • | Evaluate overall Board composition; |

| • | Assess Board and committee roles and responsibilities; |

| • | Provide anonymous feedback on peers; |

| • | Clarify the expectations that directors have of themselves and of each other; |

| • | Foster effective communications among directors and between the Board and management; |

| • | Identify and discuss areas for potential improvement; and |

| • | Identify Board goals and objectives for the coming year. |

Following the interviews, the results are discussed with the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Chair of the Board, and, where relevant, with management, and presented to and discussed with the full Board during an executive session. Where appropriate, further action is taken consistent with these Board discussions. Director On-Boarding and Continuing Education Upon joining our Board, directors are provided with an orientation about us, which includes introductions to members of our senior management and information about our visions and values, operations, performance, strategic plans, and corporate governance practices (including our PBC purpose and our fiduciary duty to balance the financial interests of shareholders, the best interests of other stakeholders materially affected by our conduct, and the pursuit of our PBC purpose). Our Board believes that our shareholders are best served by a Board comprised of individuals who are up to date on corporate governance and other matters relevant to board service
