 Exhibit 10.25 

Form of Director RSU Award Agreement 

as amended by the Board of Directors in July 2020 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [___________], 20[_] (the “Grant
Date”), by and among RACKSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [____________] (the “Grantee”). 

WHEREAS, the Company, acting through a Committee (as defined in the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”)), has granted to the Grantee, effective as of the date of this Agreement, an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”) under the Plan in respect of shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Plan) on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and
of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 Section 1. The Plan. The terms and
provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth herein in their entirety (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article V). In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the
Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. A copy of the Plan may be obtained from the Company by the Grantee upon request. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan. 

Section 2. Grant of RSUs. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to
the Grantee RSUs in the amount set forth on the signature page hereto. The RSUs shall be credited to a book entry account maintained for the Grantee on the books of the Company. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(a) of this Agreement,
upon a Termination of Relationship, the unvested portion of the RSUs (i.e., that portion that does not constitute Vested RSUs) shall terminate. 

Section 3. Vesting and Settlement. 

(a) Vesting. Subject to the Grantee’s continued service relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries through the vesting date
(except as otherwise provided in this Section 3(a)), all RSUs shall become non-forfeitable (when a RSU becomes non-forfeitable, a “Vested RSU”) [on
the first anniversary of the Grant Date]; provided, however, that: 
 (i) all RSUs shall immediately become
Vested RSUs as of immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control; and 
 (ii) if a Termination of Relationship
occurs at any time prior to a Change in Control as a result of (A) a termination of the Grantee’s service relationship by the Company or its Subsidiaries without Cause or (B) the Grantee’s death, serious illness or Disability,
(1) the number of RSUs shall become Vested RSUs as of the date of such Termination of Relationship that is equal to the aggregate number of RSUs, multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is equal to the number of calendar days
that have elapsed since the Grant Date and (y) the denominator of which is equal to 365, and (2) if a Change in Control occurs within 90 days following such Termination of Relationship, all RSUs shall become Vested RSUs as of immediately
prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control. 












 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, except as otherwise provided in
this Section 3(a), the RSUs shall cease vesting as of the date of the Grantee’s Termination of Relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason and no portion of the RSUs shall become Vested RSUs thereafter
(i.e., the RSUs that are not Vested RSUs shall be forfeited immediately); provided, that, in the event that the Grantee experiences a Termination of Relationship for Cause, all RSUs then held by the Grantee (whether vested or unvested)
shall immediately be forfeited. 
 (b) Settlement. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Vested RSU shall be settled as promptly
as reasonably practicable following the applicable vesting date (but in any event by March 15 of the year following the year in which such applicable vesting date occurs). 

Section 4. Restrictive Covenants. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that by accepting the RSUs issued hereunder, the Grantee
shall be bound by, and shall abide by, the covenants set forth in this Section 4, in addition to any other representations, warranties, and covenants set forth in (but subject to any exceptions set forth in) any Service Agreement or other
document required by the Committee with respect to such grant. 
 (a) Non-Solicitation; No
Hire. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantee agrees that during the Grantee’s employment or other service relationship with the Company Group, and for the one (1) year period following the Grantee’s
Termination of Relationship for any reason, the Grantee will not, directly or indirectly, on the Grantee’s own behalf or on behalf of another (i) solicit, induce or attempt to solicit or induce any officer, director or employee of the
Company Group to terminate their relationship with or leave the employ of the Company Group, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and any officer, director or employee thereof, on
the other hand, (ii) hire (or other similar arrangement) any Person (in any capacity whether as an officer, director, employee or consultant) who is or at any time was an officer, director or employee of the Company Group until six
(6) months after such individual’s relationship (whether as an officer, director or employee) with the Company Group has ended, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, prospect, licensee or other business relation
of the Company Group to cease doing business with the Company Group, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, prospect, licensee or business relation, on the one hand, and the Company Group, on the other
hand. 
 (b) Non-Competition. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantee
agrees that during the Grantee’s employment or other service relationship with the Company Group, and for the one (1) year period following the Grantee’s Termination of Relationship for any reason, the Grantee will not, directly or
indirectly, have any equity or equity-based interest, or work or otherwise provide services as an employee, contractor, officer, owner, consultant, partner, director or otherwise, in any business anywhere in the world that sells hosting and
information technology services substantially similar to those services provided by the Company 

  
 2 













 
Group, namely (i) provisioning, hosting, management, monitoring, supporting, or maintenance of applications, computer servers (whether dedicated, shared or virtual) and network connectivity
in a datacenter for remote use via the Internet, (ii) hosted email, storage, collaboration, compute, virtual networking and similar services, and (iii) all similar related services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee shall be
permitted to acquire a passive stock or equity interest in such a business, provided that the stock or other equity interest acquired is not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding interest in such business. 

(c) Nondisclosure of Confidential Information; Return of Property. The Grantee recognizes and acknowledges that he or she has access to
the confidential information and/or has had material contact with the Company Group’s customers, suppliers, licensees, representatives, agents, partners, licensors, or business relations. The Grantee agrees that at any time during or after such
time as the Grantee is a Participant in the Plan, the Grantee shall maintain in confidence and shall not directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for the Grantee’s benefit or the benefit of any Person,
any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company Group, including, without limitation, information with respect to the Company Group’s operations, processes, products, inventions, business practices,
finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment, or deliver to any Person any
document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets. Upon the Grantee’s Termination of Relationship for any reason, the Grantee shall promptly
deliver to the Company (with the cost of shipping reimbursed by the Company) all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents concerning the Company
Group’s customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products or processes. The Grantee may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall give the Company Group the earliest possible notice thereof, shall, as much
in advance of the return date as possible, make available to the Company Group and its counsel the documents and other information sought and, if requested by the Company Group, shall reasonably assist such counsel in resisting or otherwise
responding to such process. 
 (d) Non-Disparagement. The Grantee shall not, at any time,
directly or indirectly, knowingly disparage, criticize, or otherwise make derogatory statements regarding the Company Group, or any of its successors, directors or officers. The foregoing shall not be violated by the Grantee’s truthful
responses to legal process or inquiry by a governmental authority. 
 (e) Intellectual Property Rights. 

(i) The Grantee agrees that the results and proceeds of the Grantee’s services for the Company Group (including, but not
limited to, any trade secrets, products, services, processes, know-how, designs, developments, innovations, analyses, drawings, reports, techniques, formulas, methods, developmental or experimental work,
improvements, discoveries, inventions, ideas, source and object codes, programs, matters of a literary, musical, dramatic or otherwise creative nature, writings and other works of authorship) resulting from services performed for the Company Group
and any works in progress, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, that 

  
 3 













 
were made, developed, conceived or reduced to practice or learned by the Grantee, either alone or jointly with others (collectively, “Inventions”), shall be works-made-for-hire and the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the Company Group) shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all trade secret,
patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “Proprietary Rights”) of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, with the right to
use the same in perpetuity in any manner the Company determines in its sole discretion, without any further payment to the Grantee whatsoever. If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds shall not legally be a
work-made-for-hire and/or there are any Proprietary Rights which do not accrue to the Company Group under the immediately preceding sentence, then the Grantee hereby
irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign any and all of the Grantee’s right, title and interest thereto, including, without limitation, any and all Proprietary Rights of whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known,
existing, contemplated, recognized or developed, to the Company (or, if applicable or as directed by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), and the Company or such Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall have the right to use the same in
perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner determined by the Company or such Subsidiaries or Affiliates without any further payment to the Grantee whatsoever. As to any Invention that the Grantee is required to assign, the Grantee shall
promptly and fully disclose to the Company all information known to the Grantee concerning such Invention. The Grantee hereby waives and quitclaims to the Company Group any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that the Grantee now or may
hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company Group. 
 (ii) The Grantee agrees
that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, the Grantee shall do any and all things that the Company may reasonably deem useful or desirable to establish or document the Company
Group’s exclusive ownership throughout the United States of America or any other country of any and all Proprietary Rights in any such Inventions, including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate copyright and/or patent applications
or assignments. To the extent the Grantee has any Proprietary Rights in the Inventions that cannot be assigned in the manner described above, the Grantee unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such Proprietary Rights. This
Section 4(e) is subject to and shall not be deemed to limit, restrict or constitute any waiver by the Company Group of any Proprietary Rights of ownership to which the Company Group may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of the
Grantee’s employment with, or service to, the Company Group. The Grantee further agrees that, from time to time, as may be requested by the Company and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, the Grantee shall assist the Company Group in
every proper and lawful way to obtain and from time to time enforce Proprietary Rights relating to Inventions in any and all countries. To this end, the Grantee shall execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including
appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining, and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, the Grantee shall execute, verify,
and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designees. The Grantee’s obligation to assist the Company Group with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Inventions in any and all countries shall continue
beyond the Grantee’s Termination of Relationship.

 (f) Restrictive Covenants Generally. If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants
contained in this Section 4 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum
duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope
and area permitted by applicable law. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Company Group. The Grantee further
acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are being agreed to by the Grantee in connection with the Company’s issuance of an Award to the Grantee under the Plan, and are in addition to, not in substitution for, any restrictive
covenants to which the Grantee is or may become subject in connection with any relationship with the Company Group. 
 (g)
Enforcement. If the Grantee breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company Group shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others
and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company Group at law or in equity: (i) the right and remedy to seek to have the Restrictive Covenants
specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction (without posting a bond), it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Company Group and that money damages would
not provide an adequate remedy to the Company Group; and (ii) the right and remedy to require the Grantee to account for and pay over to the Company any profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by the Grantee
as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants. In the event of any breach or violation by the Grantee of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the time period of such covenant with respect to the Grantee shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, be tolled until such breach or violation is resolved. 
 Section 5. Restriction on
Transfer. Except for transfers to an Affiliate (determined as if the Grantee were a Holder, as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) for estate planning purposes, the RSUs may not be transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise
disposed of in any way by the Grantee. The RSUs shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the RSUs contrary to the provisions hereof, and the
levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the RSUs, shall be null and void and without effect.

 Section 6. Grantee’s Employment or Other Service Relationship. Nothing in
the RSUs shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue the Grantee’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Affiliates or
stockholders, as the case may be, to terminate the Grantee’s employment or other service relationship with the Company or its Affiliates or to increase or decrease the Grantee’s compensation at any time. The grant of the RSUs is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive any other grant of other Awards under the Plan in the future. The grant of the RSUs does not form part of the Grantee’s entitlement
to remuneration or benefits in terms of his or her employment or other service relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary. 

Section 7. [Reserved.] 

Section 8. Taxes. Settlement of the RSUs shall be subject to the Grantee satisfying all applicable U.S. federal, state and local
income tax withholding obligations and non-U.S. tax obligations, and none of the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold the Grantee (or any beneficiary)
harmless from any or all of such taxes. The Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to deduct from any amounts payable to the Grantee in connection with the RSUs or otherwise the amount of any applicable taxes, and the Company may take
any such other action as it or the Committee deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. 
 Section 9.
Notices. All notices, claims, certificates, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and delivered if personally delivered or if sent by nationally recognized

more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on the Grantee pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. 

Section 12. Modification of Rights. The rights of the Grantee are subject to modification and termination in certain events as
provided in this Agreement and the Plan (with respect to the RSUs granted hereby). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement and the Plan may not be impaired without the Grantee’s consent. 

Section 13. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. 

(a) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN ANY SERVICE AGREEMENT, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF
DELAWARE TO BE APPLIED. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS,
THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
Service Agreement, each of the parties hereto irrevocably (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, or in the event (but only in the event) that the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have
subject matter jurisdiction over such legal action or proceeding, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court for the District of Delaware also does
not have subject matter jurisdiction over such legal action or proceeding, any Delaware state court sitting in New 

  
 7 













 
Castle County, in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the actions of the parties hereof, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such
personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement in any court other than the courts of the State of Delaware, as described above. Each
party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason, that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to
judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such courts and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the benefit of any
defense that would hinder, fetter or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which a party hereto is entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction. 

Section 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to
be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. 
 Section 15. Entire Agreement. This
Agreement, the Plan (and the other writings referred to herein), and the Investor Rights Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior written or oral
negotiations, commitments, representations and agreements with respect thereto. 
 Section 16. Severability. It is the desire
and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular
provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 17. Enforcement. In the event the Company or the Grantee institutes litigation to enforce or protect its rights under this
Agreement or the Plan, each party shall be solely responsible for all attorneys’ fees, out-of-pocket costs and disbursements it incurs relating to such litigation.

 Section 18. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent that
it may legally and effectively do so, trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding arising hereunder.
