ominating and Corporate Governance Committee is currently composed of two directors: Ms. Kilberg and Mr. McCarthy. Ms. Kilberg is the chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Ms. Kilberg is the independent member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq listing standards). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met two times during 2024. The Board has adopted a written Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter available to stockholders on the Company’s website at investors.appian.com.

As described in more detail in its charter, the principal duties and responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include, among other things:

• Developing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding corporate governance guidelines and practices; and

• Overseeing periodic evaluations of our Board of Directors’ performance including committees of the Board of Directors.

However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board, the operating requirements of the Company, and the long-term interests of stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee typically considers diversity (including gender, racial, and ethnic diversity), age,
