 us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other nominee, you should have received a Notice containing voting instructions from that organization rather than from Appian. Simply follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure your vote is counted. To vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from the broker, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares. Follow the instructions from that organization included with these proxy materials or contact that organization to request a proxy form.

| Internet proxy voting may be provided to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware you must bear any costs associated with your Internet access such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies. |

#### How many votes do I have?
On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of Class A common stock you own as of April 8, 2025 and ten votes for each share of Class B common stock you own as of April 8, 2025.

#### What happens if I do not vote?

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing your proxy card, by telephone, or through the Internet either before or during the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted.

Where a proposal is not “routine,” a broker or nominee who has not received instructions from its clients does not have discretion to vote its clients’ uninstructed shares on that proposal. At our Annual Meeting, only the ratification of the appointment of BDO as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2025 (Proposal No. 2) is considered a routine matter. Accordingly, your broker or nominee may not vote your shares on Proposal Nos. 1 and 3 without your instructions but may vote your shares on Proposal No. 2 even in the
