 will expire at the Annual Meeting; ● the Class II directors are Dave Gilboa, Youngme Moon, and Ronald Williams, and their terms will expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and ● the Class III directors are Neil Blumenthal, Teresa Briggs, and Andrew Hunt, and their terms will expire at 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each director is to hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible. The division of our Board of Directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control. Director Independence Our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, our Board of Directors has determined that Teresa Briggs, Joel Cutler, Andrew Hunt, Youngme Moon, Jeffrey Raider, Bradley Singer, and Ronald Williams do not have relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Gabrielle Sulzberger qualified as “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of the NYSE during the time she served as a director of the Company. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our shares held by each non-employee director and the transactions described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” Director Candidates The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying and reviewing the qualifications of potential director candidates and recommending to the Board those candidates to be nominated for election to the Board. To facilitate the search process for director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit our current directors and executives for the names of potentially qualified candidates or may ask directors and executives to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates or
