#### Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Holders of Yext common stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive the Notice and to one vote for each share of common stock at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 124,592,326 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders are not permitted to cumulate votes with respect to the election of directors.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with Yext’s transfer agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., you are considered the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares, and the Notice was sent directly to you by the Company. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote by attending the Annual Meeting.
