 Directors maintains effective oversight of our business operations, including independent oversight of our financial statements, executive compensation, selection of director candidates and corporate governance programs. We believe that the leadership structure of our Board of Directors, including Mr. Sheehan’s role as Lead Independent Director, as well as the independent committees of our Board of Directors, is appropriate and enhances our Board of Directors’ ability to effectively carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of our stockholders, while Mr. Walrath’s combined role enables strong leadership, creates clear accountability and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to stockholders.

#### Board Committees and Meetings
Our Board of Directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our Board of Directors. Each of the audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees is a standing committee and operates pursuant to a separate written charter adopted by our Board of Directors that is available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at investors.yext.com. The inclusion of our website address in this proxy statement does not include or incorporate by reference into this proxy statement the information on or accessible through our website. In accordance with our corporate governance guidelines and listing standards of the NYSE, during the fiscal year 2025 each committee reviewed and in certain cases proposed changes to their respective charters and in addition, each committee as well as the Board of Directors conducted an annual self-evaluation.

The Board met 10 times during fiscal year 2025. During fiscal year 2025, each of our directors attended 75% or more of each of (a) the total number of meetings of the Board held (during the period in which the director served on the Board) and (b) the total number of meetings held by all committees on which the director served (during the period in which the director served on such committees). Pursuant to our corporate governance guidelines, each director is encouraged, but not required, to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. Four directors attended the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.
