 Compensation Committee review and discuss with management matters related to compensation and benefits, business conduct and compliance, and executive succession planning. During 2024, the Board and its committees also reviewed and discussed with management on a regular basis, the impact of fluctuating macroeconomic trends on BlackLine’s operations, as well as management’s strategies and initiatives to respond to and mitigate adverse impacts of economic uncertainty, such as economic risk and risks related to longer sales cycles.

#### Board Education
Our director orientation materials and discussions with management generally cover: (i) corporate governance matters; (ii) finance and investor relations matters; (iii) human capital matters; (iv) technology matters, including product overview and roadmap; (v) customer interactions, including sales, implementation, training, and enablement programs; and (vi) cybersecurity matters, including strategy, and new projects and investments. We also reimburse directors who attend continuing director education programs for fees and related expenses.

#### Board Meetings and Committees
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, our Board held thirteen meetings (including regularly scheduled and special meetings), and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our Board held during the period for which he or she has been a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board on which he or she served during the periods when he or she served. We do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our Board at annual meetings of stockholders, but we strongly encourage our directors to attend. A majority of the then-serving directors attended our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.
