We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

------

We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K primarily on our current beliefs, expectations, and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described, anticipated, or implied in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of the forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

The forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

Unless the context otherwise indicates, references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to the terms "Klaviyo," "the Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Klaviyo, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

**RISK FACTOR SUMMARY**

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that you should be aware of in evaluating our business. The following is a summary of some of these risks and uncertainties. As a result, this risk factor summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to you, and this summary should be read together with the more detailed description of each risk factor below as well as elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks, beyond those summarized below or discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, may apply to our business, activities or operations as currently conducted or as we may conduct them in the future or in the markets in which we operate or may in the future operate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our rapid historical revenue growth is not indicative of our future revenue growth, and we may not be able to sustain our historical revenue growth rate, in the near term and in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business has experienced rapid growth, and we may fail to effectively manage our growth or anticipated growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have a limited operating history in a rapidly changing industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects and increases the risk of your investment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We operate in a highly competitive industry, and we may not compete effectively with established companies or new market entrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business and success depend, in part, on our ability to successfully integrate with third-party platforms, especially with eCommerce platforms such as Shopify, and there may be disruptions to these third-party platform integrations or our relationships with third-party platform providers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our business and success depend, in part, on the success of our relationships with third parties, such as our marketing agency and technology partners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may experience unfavorable conditions in our industry or the global economy, or reductions in spending on marketing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to add new customers, retain existing customers, or increase sales to existing customers;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing operating expenses in the future, and we may not be able to achieve and maintain profitability in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As we seek to move up-market, we expect our sales cycle with enterprise customers to be longer than with small-and-mid size businesses and we will be required to scale our operations, including by expanding our sales efforts, which may require considerable time and expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have historically invested significantly in research and development and expect this investment to continue, which may not translate into new products or enhancements to our current products or product features;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we fail to adapt and respond effectively to technological changes, evolving industry standards, changing regulations or changing customer or consumer needs, requirements or preferences, our platform may become less competitive;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We depend on our senior management team, and may lose one or more members of our senior management team or our key employees, or be unable to attract and retain highly skilled employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We collect, process, store, share, disclose, and use personal information and other data, which subjects us to legal obligations related to privacy and security, and we may fail to comply with these obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we or our third-party service providers experience a cybersecurity incident or data breach or unauthorized parties otherwise obtain access to our customers' data, our data, or our platform, our platform or our products may be perceived as not being secure, our reputation may be harmed, demand for our platform and products may be reduced, and we may incur significant liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may fail to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have incorporated and expect to continue to incorporate AI technology into our products and services, which may expose us to additional risks due to the evolving nature of the technology;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• There has been a limited public market for our Series A common stock. The trading price of our Series A common stock may continue to be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price at which you purchased those shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The dual series structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders who hold shares of our Series B common stock, including our directors, executive officers, and their respective affiliates, and limiting or precluding your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval.

**Part I**

**Item 1. Business** 

**Overview**

Klaviyo is a B2C CRM that helps consumer companies create smarter, stronger, and more valuable customer experiences. We unify the data, intelligence, and actions that define a consumer relationship into an infrastructure built for autonomy and scale. Over 193,000 businesses, from emerging creators to global enterprises, rely on our Klaviyo Data Platform ("KDP") as the product to turn real-time consumer data into personalized, revenue-driving experiences across marketing, service and beyond.

Our B2C CRM provides a single source of truth for consumer profiles, allowing businesses to understand their customers and act on that understanding immediately. Built for the AI era and open by design, Klaviyo populates consumer profiles with data from first-party systems using over 350 third-party integrations. This unified knowledge about consumer identity, consent, behavior, preferences, and history helps companies grow higher customer lifetime value and build more durable revenue through more impactful consumer experiences.

Our actionable infrastructure creates a flywheel of quality and personalization. Through our combined database, intelligence and action layers, businesses use Klaviyo to power digital marketing and service experiences across channels including email, text, and WhatsApp messaging. Then, those interactions create data that strengthens intelligence, making the next interaction smarter and higher ROI, leading to more interactions. This closed loop increasingly executes autonomously, giving businesses access to the unified consumer context and autonomous systems they need to drive real-time action.

We purpose-built the KDP as a centralized, scalable, and flexible data store that allows our customers to intelligently aggregate and process first-party consumer profile and event data without friction. Building upon our robust data infrastructure, we developed tools, initially focusing on marketing automation, where we revolutionized email practices. While our KDP began with a focus on email marketing capabilities, we now incorporate text messaging and WhatsApp channels, Reviews, Marketing Agent, Klaviyo Service, Klaviyo Analytics, and others.

In early 2025, we defined and introduced a new category of customer relationship management solutions built exclusively for business-to-consumer ("B2C") companies. We announced Klaviyo B2C CRM, a unified platform that combines marketing, service, analytics, and our data platform into a single system designed to meet the high-volume, fast-paced needs of consumer companies. Klaviyo B2C CRM enables businesses to manage interactions across channels and touchpoints, supporting more personalized and consistent consumer experiences. During 2025, we also expanded our offerings beyond marketing to address customer service use cases. We introduced a suite of capabilities integrated with our platform for service teams, including Customer Agent, Customer Hub, and Helpdesk, which are purpose-built for B2C companies. These offerings reflect our view that customer experience spans both marketing and service functions and benefits from a shared system of record and action.

In September 2025, we launched Marketing Agent and Customer Agent, which leverage Large Language Models ("LLMs") and other generative artificial intelligence technologies. These capabilities are designed to help consumer companies apply AI in practical ways by using real-time consumer data, enabling immediate action, and continuously learning which actions drive improved business outcomes. Together, these capabilities position Klaviyo to address key gaps in the market for B2C companies seeking a unified, data-driven platform to understand their customers, engage effectively, and support long-term growth. Klaviyo is able to do this for three reasons: (1) we capture the real-time consumer context needed to make automated interactions relevant, (2) we have the infrastructure to help businesses take

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

action immediately, and (3) our systems can learn which actions drive the best outcomes in response to consumer behavior. Klaviyo makes it easy for businesses to know their customers, activate their data, and grow faster.

Advances in AI are enabling businesses to operate with greater speed, quality, and accessibility across consumer-facing functions. AI-driven capabilities reduce operational bottlenecks, allowing teams to execute more quickly; generate marketing and service experiences that perform at or above historical manual benchmarks and improve over time; and expand access to sophisticated capabilities through natural-language interfaces and emerging digital channels. As these developments converge, consumer expectations are evolving toward more personalized, responsive, and continuous interactions. Klaviyo's platform is designed to support this shift by enabling companies to deploy consumer-facing agents informed by first-party data, deliver individualized experiences across owned channels, and improve team efficiency through increased automation of marketing and service workflows. These capabilities rely on a unified consumer profile and the ability to act on data in real time, which Klaviyo provides through its integrated platform architecture.

Our strategy is to build the autonomous future for B2C companies. We will build that future by delivering an integrated platform that enables marketing, service, and analytics to operate with increasing autonomy on the KDP. We believe this approach supports market expansion, deeper multi-offering adoption, increased usage through automation, and a durable, subscription-based revenue model which is primarily priced based on fixed consumer profile tiers which aligns with consumer outcomes.

While we started in the eCommerce vertical, we have expanded and found organic growth in other verticals, such as education, events and entertainment, restaurants, and travel, as well as from business-to-business ("B2B") companies. Our open and flexible platform allows for companies of any size to build consumer experiences, and as of December 31, 2025, we had efficiently scaled to over 193,000 customers. See the section titled "Key Performance Metrics – Customers" for additional information on how we define customers.

We generate revenue through the sale of subscriptions to our customers for the use of our platform. Our subscription plans are tiered based on the number of active consumer profiles stored on our platform and the number of emails, text messages and WhatsApp messages sent as well as customer tickets and conversations through Klaviyo Service. We do not price based on seats. We currently permit our customers to send unlimited push notifications, which are included as part of our email subscription plan. Active consumer profiles are identified profiles that can be reached via at least one enabled marketing channel in Klaviyo; this means the profile is not suppressed, either by revoking consent or being rendered undeliverable. The vast majority of our subscription plans today are monthly.

Our land-and-expand strategy aligns our success with that of our customers. As our customers grow, they use more active consumer profiles and send more messages like emails, text messages, and WhatsApp messages, which naturally increases their usage of our platform. Our revenue also expands when our customers add additional marketing channels, such as text messaging, mobile push and WhatsApp, and additional use cases, such as Customer Agent, Marketing Agent, Marketing Analytics, and Advanced KDP, or when their other companies, business units, and geographies start using our platform.

Our go-to-market strategy is primarily product-led, and we attract the majority of our new customers through inbound channels, such as word-of-mouth, agency partnerships, and platform integrations. We have built a large and growing ecosystem of major eCommerce platforms, agency partnerships, and developers, which helps us efficiently attract new customers. Once customers access the Klaviyo platform, they can easily integrate with more than 350 third-party data sources to import and explore their first-party data and design and run campaigns and automations, providing rapid time-to-value.

When we first launched our platform, we intentionally focused on serving entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs"). As our customers have scaled and become mid-market companies and larger enterprises themselves,

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

their success with Klaviyo has attracted more interest from similarly sized businesses that are looking to drive better engagement with their consumers. As such, we have continued to build out a sales team to focus on mid-market and enterprise customers.

We grew our revenue 31.6% year-over-year, from $937.5 million in 2024 to $1,234.0 million in 2025. Our net losses for 2024 and 2025 were $(46.1) million and $(31.8) million, respectively, representing a year-over-year decrease of (31.2)%. This decrease in net loss year-over-year was mainly driven by an increase in revenue. We grew our gross profit 28.7% year-over-year, from $716.2 million in 2024 to $921.5 million in 2025, representing gross profit margins of 76.4% and 74.7%, respectively.

**Our Actionable Infrastructure**

We built Klaviyo to provide businesses of all sizes powerful technology that captures, stores, analyzes, and predictively uses data to drive measurable, high-value outcomes. Our actionable infrastructure collects and organizes consumer profile and event data into a single system of record. It uses that data to support predictive insights and personalized actions, with interactions generating additional data that can improve future outcomes. Klaviyo brings three powerful components together:

*Data Platform.* Our customers grow by finding consumers, keeping them, and selling them more over time. Doing that well requires knowing who a consumer is, what they bought, what they looked at, what they abandoned, and when they did it. Our data platform combines profile data, such as identity and preferences, with event data such as browsing, purchasing, returns, and support interactions. By keeping both types of information current in one system, businesses can group customers into audiences that update automatically and respond immediately when a customer takes an action. Our platform is optimized for large volumes of data, delivers sub-second-level accessibility, and provides extremely high levels of personalization and attribution. We built our data store from the ground up to be agile, unbound by specific schema or data structures. This industry-agnostic approach supports marketing, service, and analytics use cases and can be applied to new verticals in the future.

*Intelligence Layer.* Our intelligence layer applies statistical and machine learning techniques to generate predictions and recommendations based on customer profile and event data to help our customers prioritize audiences, personalize experiences, and evaluate performance in increasingly autonomous ways. It has built insight from billions of messages and trillions of events, allowing businesses to apply real-time context to historical behavioral patterns, create impactful customer experiences, and drive measurable results. As these results create more data to build the intelligence layer, the flywheel compounds.

*Action Layer.* Knowledge only matters if it turns into action. On top of our data and intelligence layers sits a comprehensive set of tools, AI agents, and features that enable our customers to easily turn consumer insights into revenue-driving actions without the need to hire expensive in-house engineers. Our action layer includes marketing, customer service, analytics, and generative AI capabilities that allow our customers to design and deliver personalized engagement across digital channels. Our platform also incorporates machine learning techniques to power predictive analytics, enabling businesses to estimate consumer lifetime value, predict next order dates, or assess churn risk. Together, these capabilities enable businesses to deliver contextually-relevant and personalized experiences throughout the entire consumer journey.

Many companies try to create similar consumer experiences by attempting to stitch together separate products for data storage, analysis, and action. We built these functions to work together as one system. Companies use Klaviyo to interact with their customers, those interactions build our database, and as that database grows, so do our intelligence capabilities. This closed loop is increasingly autonomous, giving businesses a unified, self-reinforcing system that drives intelligent, real-time action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***A flexible platform as preferences evolve.*** With over 350 integrations, Klaviyo was built from the beginning to be open, flexible, and adaptable to shifting consumer preferences, customer expectations, and new technologies. However these change over time, Klaviyo keeps our customers in control of their own data. As a single solution, Klaviyo enables customers to coordinate their consumer engagement strategy across digital channels, such as email, text, and WhatsApp messaging, as well as customer service touchpoints like live chats, without friction. Our omnichannel capabilities reduce the number of tools and integrations our customers need, increasing speed and efficiency while also reducing costs. Our vertical integration also allows us to easily expand into new channels, enabling our platform to evolve with consumer preferences.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Rapid and efficient implementation with clear, attributable value to drive high ROI*.** Due to our pre-configured data model and automatic integrations, our platform offers rapid and efficient implementation. Meanwhile, due to our advanced technological architecture and vertical integration, we can quantify the amount of revenue that our customers generate with specific engagements through our platform, quickly and easily measuring their success. AI-powered automation further accelerates time to value by reducing manual setup and ongoing operational effort. As consumer interactions on Klaviyo generate attributable value, that continues to reinforce adoption.

**Our Growth Strategies**

As we build the future for B2C companies, our growth strategy is to expand the types of consumer experiences our platform can deliver, increase the number of those experiences, and then deliver them with increasing quality and autonomy. We believe this approach supports market expansion, deeper multi-offering adoption, increased usage through automation, and a durable, subscription-based revenue model which is primarily priced based on fixed consumer profile tiers and aligns with consumer outcomes. As businesses rely more heavily on data-driven and AI-enabled systems to interact with consumers, we also believe our platform is positioned to support increased usage, broader adoption, and durable growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Expand addressable markets and increase market share.*** We believe enterprise and international adoption represent significant growth opportunities as consumer companies seek a unified system to manage consumer experiences across marketing and service. As organizations consolidate tools and standardize on platforms that can operate at scale, we continue to see momentum among larger customers and in international markets, supported by investments in go-to-market capabilities, global infrastructure, and localization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Drive multi-offering adoption and deeper platform usage.*** We believe multi-offering adoption is a durable growth lever as customers consolidate marketing, service, and analytics on a shared data foundation. Customers that use multiple Klaviyo offerings are able to coordinate engagement more effectively across the consumer lifecycle, including marketing and service touchpoints, improving outcomes and increasing the value derived from the platform. As customers expand usage across additional offerings, channels, brands, and geographies, their reliance on our platform grows.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Expand usage and monetization through AI and automation.*** We believe AI-powered agents and automation increase both the volume and value of interactions that customers run through our platform. As customers deploy agents to execute campaigns, respond to inquiries, and personalize engagement in real time, we expect increased platform usage driven by higher interaction frequency, broader use cases, and more autonomous execution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Maintain a durable model aligned with customer outcomes.*** Our business model scales as customers grow and engage more consumers. As customers increase interaction volume, adopt additional offerings, and rely more heavily on automation and AI-driven workflows, our revenue naturally expands alongside customer success, reinforcing long-term durability.

Overall, this amalgamation of growth strategies is designed to align with customer outcomes. Klaviyo's economics scale as customers grow and engage more consumers, reinforcing long-term value.

**Our Capabilities**

By combining unified consumer profiles with automation and execution, Klaviyo makes it easy to turn consumer data into revenue-driving experiences with measurable impact across marketing, service, and beyond. Our vertically-integrated, highly-scalable and flexible platform unifies the data and action layers with our messaging infrastructure into one modern tech stack, providing all the capabilities and automation tools necessary to drive personalized consumer engagement:

***AI Agents***

*Marketing Agent:* Marketing Agent is an AI-driven, autonomous marketing assistant built into the Klaviyo B2C CRM platform. It is designed to automate and accelerate marketing strategy, content creation, and campaign execution for

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

consumer companies, enabling teams to operate with greater efficiency and creativity. With Marketing Agent, customers can autonomously generate complete, on-brand marketing campaigns, flows and signup forms in minutes.

***Marketing***

*Email*: Klaviyo enables businesses to send personalized email communications to their customers, leveraging a unified consumer profile and real-time behavioral data. Our email marketing solution includes a range of customizable drag-and-drop templates, automated campaign and workflow capabilities, Smart Send Time optimization to improve engagement, generative AI tools for content and subject line creation, and A/B testing to support performance optimization. Advanced segmentation and personalization features allow customers to target audiences based on behavior, preferences, and predictive insights, helping drive more relevant and effective engagements.

*Mobile app marketing:* Our push notification channel allows customers to send personalized push notifications on iOS and Android devices to engage consumers with timely and relevant mobile app notifications to build omnichannel experiences.

*Social:* With Klaviyo's acquisition of Gatsby in 2025, we enable companies to convert social media engagement into measurable growth. Klaviyo Social brings social interaction data—such as Instagram comments, direct messages, and tags—into the Company's unified consumer profiles, enabling more personalization across channels. Klaviyo Social allows companies to grow owned contact lists directly from social platforms by capturing consented email and text messaging subscribers generated through social campaigns, and to use real-time audience synchronization to improve advertising efficiency across major platforms.

*Reviews:* Our Reviews add-on allows our customers to collect product reviews alongside consumer data and messaging in Klaviyo, delivering a more seamless experience across the customer lifecycle. Our AI tools also suggest review headlines for consumers based on their review content, and generate personalized review replies for our customers with the click of a button.

Our omnichannel approach allows our customers to communicate with their consumers in the manner that best serves their diverse business needs. By creating a single, holistic view of the consumer, we can help customers understand and communicate with their consumers across all channels. For example, some customers may choose to engage with consumers asynchronously through email with highly-segmented, personalized, and cost-effective messages. However, in some cases, such as notification of a flash sale, customers may choose to drive revenue through concise, action-oriented interactions delivered in real-time through text messaging, WhatsApp messaging, or push. Because our platform was purpose-built to help customers understand their consumers, our customers can leverage consumer profiles, event data, and

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

AI-powered predictive analytics to deliver highly personalized messages across relevant communication channels, rather than through disparate and disjointed channels.

***Service***

*Helpdesk:* Helpdesk is an AI-powered workspace for managing consumer conversations across channels. Teams use Helpdesk to route inquiries, manage issues, and respond with full consumer context from Klaviyo data. By connecting service interactions with marketing, Helpdesk helps businesses operate more efficiently and deliver more connected consumer experiences.

***Data and Analytics***

*KDP:* The KDP is embedded within Klaviyo's B2C CRM and available to all Klaviyo customers. The KDP unifies real-time and historical consumer data for marketing, customer service, and analytics—and it's built into Klaviyo B2C CRM. It provides user-friendly tools to unify, enrich, transform data, run more advanced reporting and predictive analysis, and sync data into and out of Klaviyo at scale. Our KDP is built for businesses of all sizes and gives customers a unified, real-time view of consumers across their entire lifecycles.

*Advanced KDP:* Building on top of the features included to all customers through the KDP, the Advanced Klaviyo Data Platform provides an enhanced set of data capabilities for more advanced users. Additional features include data export to third-party destinations, no-code data transformations, customizable CLV predictive analytics, catalog insights to drive cross-sell, and more advanced segmentation like RFM (recency, frequency, monetary value) analysis.

*Marketing Analytics:* Our Marketing Analytics offering provides companies real-time, AI-powered insight into consumer purchase behavior so they can take action faster. Our predictive analytics features use AI and machine learning to drive valuable consumer insights related to consumer lifetime value, churn risk, and behavior forecasting, enabling businesses to make data-driven decisions that help them maximize revenue potential. Customers can benchmark their performance metrics against industry peers to identify optimization opportunities. These analytics capabilities integrate directly with our unified platform, enabling customers to immediately convert insights into targeted marketing campaigns and automated workflows that drive measurable revenue growth.

***Our Features***

*Integrations:* We integrate with a wide range of data sources such as retail and eCommerce platforms, including Shopify, WooCommerce, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud, to comprehensively replicate all historical profile and event data in Klaviyo and synchronize data going forward. These integrations allow our customers to create a complete consumer source of record, bringing additional profile and event information into Klaviyo with minimal engineering effort.

*Segmentation:* Our advanced audience segmentation allows businesses to create consumer segmentation based on all the consumer data they have available in Klaviyo, including purchase history, engagement levels, and Klaviyo-powered

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

predicted customer lifetime value. The segmentation feature enables our customers to better target consumers with personalized engagement, and our AI tools allow our customers to quickly create segments using natural language inputs. Via Klaviyo's outbound integrations, segments can be automatically pushed to ad networks to further target consumers or accessed via API to power actions in other systems.

*Automation — Campaigns and Flows:* Using our platform, businesses can build marketing campaigns, which deliver regular interactions to their consumers about new launches, sales announcements, newsletters, and more. With Klaviyo, customers can drive more revenue by building data-powered omnichannel campaigns that engage their consumers across every touchpoint. We offer pre-built templates for customers to choose from, and our platform has built-in generative AI capabilities to allow users to auto-generate email, text messaging, and WhatsApp messaging content and build automations using natural language inputs. Our platform also enables businesses to build flows, which are a sequence of automated actions, including messages, that are triggered when a consumer performs a specific action — such as joining a list, being added to a segment, making a purchase, or abandoning their cart. We also offer customers the ability to use AI-assisted natural language inputs to build and manage their flows with minimal human input needed. Our built-in attribution allows customers to quantify and understand the revenue impact of campaigns and flows.

*Analytics and Benchmarks:* Our predictive analytics features use AI and machine learning to drive valuable consumer insights related to consumer lifetime value, churn risk, and behavior forecasting. Our benchmark feature aggregates anonymized performance data across our customer engagement strategies and allows businesses to compare their performance to that of their industry peers. Business metric comparisons such as open rate, average cart value, and subscriber rate allow businesses to evaluate the effectiveness of their engagement strategy and identify key areas of opportunity.

**Our Technology**

The Klaviyo infrastructure was engineered to be cloud-native, consisting of a set of reusable primitives that enable tight vertical integration while remaining independent and extensible. From the beginning, it was designed to power many applications—starting with marketing—as well as intelligence use cases, beginning with machine learning and more recently generative AI.

Our data layer is the core of the Klaviyo platform and the foundation on which we built all our functionality. We built a composite data store that aggregates effectively unlimited amounts of data in a way suitable for transactional, analytical, and machine learning workloads. Event data allows customers to send behavior-triggered messages that keep consumers engaged with the right message at the right time. This industry-agnostic, data-first approach supports marketing, customer service, and analytics use cases and can be applied to any vertical that requires the combination of fast performance with real-time, predictive intelligence. The architecture of our data store runs an ingestion pipeline responsible for deduping, data augmentation, and identity resolution. This pipeline spawns an extensible projection mechanism in real-time as billions of facts and actions are ingested, enabling us to store the processed data in multiple formats and easily add new use cases.

This data layer feeds applications and agents that enable businesses to deploy predictive modeling and personalized engagement across the entire consumer journey without specialized engineering teams. These applications and agents are natively integrated with our data store and leverage sophisticated machine learning, giving businesses predictive insights like estimated customer lifetime value, next order dates, or churn risk. We have expanded our action layer to include Klaviyo Service, our AI-powered customer service offering, which enables businesses to manage and automate customer support interactions using the same unified consumer data that powers marketing and analytics.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

outcomes to drive more interactions. Our intelligence layer has built insight from billions of messages and trillions of events, allowing businesses to apply real-time context to historical behavioral patterns.

The overarching architectural decision to use independent reusable primitives across the data, action, and intelligence layers was key to providing the level of scalability, reliability, and performance that our infrastructure offers. The overall result is a system that grows more effective overtime, moving beyond simple automation tasks toward a fully autonomous system that empowers businesses to act on their data with unprecedented scale and speed.

***Scalability***

*Efficient Computation and Storage*: Our vertically-integrated platform is built for massive scale using cloud computing. In order to enable our customers to create dynamic, personalized experiences for their end users, we efficiently ingested and stored billions of events every day on average during 2025. We use this data to power personalization and send billions of messages each month across multiple channels, including email, text messaging, WhatsApp messaging, and push notifications.

*Optimized for Large Data Sets*: Our data store is optimized for large data sets with the capacity to combine and store our customers' entire consumer history of profile and event data in real time without expiration of the ingested data. Architectural techniques such as data partitioning and indexing across natural query seams allow our platform to scale with our customers.

***Reliability***

We store all Klaviyo data in the cloud and use fundamental building blocks of that platform, such as elastic compute cloud instances, elastic load balancers, and block storage.

Our systems are designed to be redundant and most of the intra-system communication is done asynchronously, which allows us to achieve a high degree of reliability. We built redundancy in every level of the stack. For example, every sub-system runs on multiple data centers, reducing the dependency on a specific data center. Additionally, we have built extensive monitoring to detect and recover from incidents and alert for potential anomalies.

In addition to reliability, we also built our platform with message deliverability as a top concern. Our customers demand tools that help them maintain a trusted reputation with their consumers and channel providers, which we accomplish by delivering personalized experiences on time and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and best practices. To further ensure trust in delivery, we also provide features like guided warming, shared and dedicated sending internet protocol addresses, and a tight feedback loop with channel providers. We ensure a frictionless experience for our customers, and therefore a differentiated user experience, with this focus on the reliability and scale of our messaging platform.

***Performance***

*Fast Access to Data*: Our composite data store is engineered for scale and speed without requiring workarounds and limitations. Our strong data store performance is based on our projection architecture and the selection of multiple backing databases including technologies such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, and S3. This allows us fast access to range and point queries, complex segmentation, and aggregations, such as the amount spent by a consumer over the last 30 days.

We have intentionally separated our action layer from our data stores through the implementation of rich front-ends including HTML, JavaScript, and CSS that use techniques like backend-for-frontend APIs and leverage content delivery networks to reduce latency in accessing data.

**Our Partner Ecosystem**

Our partner ecosystem enriches our customer offerings and helps us reach a broader audience than we would be able to reach on our own. Our partner ecosystem includes commerce platforms, other technology companies, marketing agencies, systems integrators, and developers. Each constituent of our ecosystem contributes to the growth of our business increasing our collective reach, the depth of our integration portfolio, and the breadth of our customers' first-party consumer data.

***Commerce Platforms***

Through our partnerships and data integrations with commerce platforms, we are able to aggregate and analyze our customers' first-party consumer data in real-time to drive more and better insights for our customers. In July 2022, we completed a series of transactions to memorialize our strategic partnership with Shopify, which established Klaviyo as the recommended email solution for all Shopify Plus merchants. We also partner with most other major commerce platforms, including WooCommerce, Magento (Adobe), BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, PrestaShop, and Shopware. We have additionally integrated with Amazon Buy with Prime. Our platform integrations create value for customers across a variety of verticals beyond retail and eCommerce. For example, we integrate with Olo and Toast in the restaurant industry, Mindbody in the fitness and wellness industry, and Eventbrite, Cloudbeds, and Mews in the events industry. In January 2026, we also launched the Klaviyo application with OpenAI, allowing our customers to access their Klaviyo data right inside ChatGPT.

***Other Technology Partnerships***

We enhance our platform through our large technology partner ecosystem and robust library of integrations with other technology platforms, including Google, Meta, Zendesk, Gorgias, LoyaltyLion, Pinterest, and Canva. We have built a robust suite of over 350 pre-built integrations and native data sources that customers want connected to their Klaviyo hub. Customers can leverage our fast, easy-to-use integrations to synchronize real-time data from technology companies specializing in payments, credit cards, order management, support tickets, subscriptions, shipping, surveys, referrals, and reviews, among others. Through these integrations, we have been able to build comprehensive consumer profiles on behalf of our customers that include information on consumer spend and details on non-financial activities, such as interactions with customer service, website activity, loyalty, social media, and more.

***Marketing Agencies and Systems Integrators***

We have built a deeply-invested community of digital marketing agencies, systems integrators, freelancers, and other consulting partners who recommend their clients use Klaviyo to design, run, and measure their marketing campaigns. These agencies help our customers run effective campaigns using Klaviyo, and provide strategic guidance to help our customers achieve their goals utilizing our platform. Many of these partners develop in-house Klaviyo expertise, build Klaviyo-dedicated service offerings, and go-to-market as Klaviyo partners. We mirror the investment these partners have made in Klaviyo by offering them a partner program (including incentives and requirements), partner-specific tools, and dedicated training and support. Marketing agencies partner with us because our platform is able to help their clients more effectively target consumers, and in the process, the agencies are able to grow their own businesses.

Systems integrators support many of our customers and help them get started on our platform. In some cases, our systems integrator partners leverage our flexible and scalable APIs to build custom integrations and bespoke solutions for their customers.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

***Developers***

We provide many developer-friendly features, including a flexible data architecture, no data pre-configuration requirements, API reference documentation and guides, new SDKs and developer tools, a community forum for collaboration, and monthly newsletters to help developers stay informed on all upcoming releases. We offer several incremental features that serve developers, including the ability to run code hosted on our platform. As a result, when developers are using our platform to build and test code, they can do so without needing to set up separate hosting environments. We also provide developers with data sample generation tools, allowing them to run and test their code against real, anonymized datasets which we generate for them as sample sets, so that they do not have to identify, obtain and ingest relevant data sets for their work. Additionally, in 2025, we launched the Klaviyo Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which seamlessly integrates with Klaviyo's APIs, enabling both customers and AI-native developers to use AI clients to interact with Klaviyo data and skills.

**Our Customers** 

Our platform serves businesses of all sizes, across industries and geographies. Our customers range from entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized businesses to mid-market businesses and enterprises. Today we have a strong presence in the retail and eCommerce vertical and see growth from international customers. As of December 31, 2025, we served over 193,000 customers, up from 167,000 customers as of December 31, 2024.

**Our Go-To-Market Strategy** 

Our large and growing ecosystem of major eCommerce platforms, agency partnerships, and developers, helps us efficiently attract new customers. We primarily attract new customers through inbound channels based on our reputation and product quality, such as word-of-mouth, commerce platform partnerships, and agency partnerships. We have a customer first approach and have designed our platform with the north star of helping businesses improve their engagement and drive revenue. As we deliver significant measurable and attributable value to our customers, they have become powerful advocates of our solution which allows us to benefit from a strong word-of-mouth motion.

Many of our customers come through our self-service channel by simply coming to our website and signing up for our platform without the need for our sales team's involvement. Customers can start with a free tier of our platform or land directly with one of our paid subscription tiers.

With geographic coverage across Americas, EMEA, and APAC, our sales organization serves prospective customers and existing customers of all sizes. In addition to our self-service model, we deploy a high-velocity inside sales team focused on new customer acquisition, a mid-market and enterprise sales team, and a customer growth team focused on maximizing customer value and introducing all Klaviyo SKUs. Our acquisition teams respond to inbound and partnership-referred leads while also supplementing this demand by going outbound directly to businesses to introduce Klaviyo. Our go-to-market motion targets decision makers participating in the marketing-spend cycle, including the chief marketing officer, chief customer officer, and other key functional marketing heads.

Our outbound sales motion and sales process for all customers is differentiated by the amount of tangible advice and recommendations we are able to provide. Using all available channels, including social, video, email, phone, text messages, and WhatsApp messages, we are able to deliver actionable insights to prospective customers that help them drive revenue growth.

**Competition**

The market in which we compete is evolving and highly competitive. There are several established and emerging competitors that address specific aspects of our platform, but we believe that none of our competitors currently offer comparable solutions that have the comprehensive functionality of our platform. Our main competitors are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Marketing solution providers, such as Mailchimp and Braze;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Large, consolidated marketing automation software providers, such as Adobe and Salesforce; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Data-focused vendors, such as providers of cloud data warehouses or operational database technologies, which provide data infrastructure but are not purpose-built for consumer data and lack the front-end application layer.

In addition, our competitors could merge or partner with one-another or strengthen cooperative relationships with strategic distribution and technology partners or other parties.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

Our market is fragmented, highly competitive, and continues to evolve. We believe that the key competitive factors in our market are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fast time-to-value and ROI for customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ease of deployment, implementation, and use;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Unified data architecture, with the ability to synchronize unaggregated, historical customer profile data with real-time event data in a single system-of-record;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Integration with third-party applications, data sources, and open-source technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Breadth and depth of features and functionality;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Quality and accuracy of data and predictive intelligence;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ability to support multiple use cases and verticals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strength of sales & marketing and partnership efforts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market vision and product strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pace of innovation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Brand awareness and reputation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Performance, scalability, security, and reliability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Quality of service and customer satisfaction.

The integration and adoption of AI technology, including generative AI and autonomous AI agents, is increasingly central to competitive positioning in our industry. Our ability to develop and integrate advanced AI functionality affects our competitive standing and market differentiation.

We believe that we compare favorably on each of these factors relative to our competitors. However, some of our competitors and potential competitors may be larger and have greater brand awareness, longer operating histories, larger marketing budgets and established marketing relationships, access to larger customer bases, and significantly greater resources for product development, including integrating and developing AI technology. Additionally, because our market is rapidly developing, it is possible that new entrants, particularly those with extensive resources, could introduce new products or services that compete in our market and better address the needs of our customers and potential customers. See the section titled "Risk Factors" section for a more detailed description of risks related to competition.

**Intellectual Property**

We believe that our intellectual property rights are valuable and important to our business. We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, employee disclosure and invention assignment agreements, as well as other legal and contractual rights, to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Though we rely in part upon these legal and contractual protections, we believe that factors such as the skills and ingenuity of our employees, the functionality and infrastructure of our platform and our business, and frequent enhancements to and expansions of our platform are more important contributors to our success.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 26 issued and allowed patents and 47 pending patent applications in the United States that cover various aspects of our business in the United States and abroad. Our issued patents are scheduled to expire between February 2042 and February 2044. These patents and patent applications are intended to protect our proprietary

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

inventions relevant to our business. We continually review our development efforts to assess the existence and patentability of new intellectual property.

We have an ongoing trademark and service mark registration program pursuant to which we register our brand names and product names, taglines, and logos in the United States and internationally to the extent we determine appropriate and cost-effective.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 6 registered trademarks and 5 pending trademarks in the United States and 101 registered trademarks and 42 pending trademarks in non-U.S. jurisdictions. We also have registered domain names for websites that we use in our business, such as www.klaviyo.com and other similar variations.

In addition, we seek to protect our intellectual property rights by requiring our employees and independent contractors involved in development of intellectual property on our behalf to enter into agreements acknowledging that all works or other intellectual property generated or conceived by them on our behalf are our property, and assigning to us any rights, including intellectual property rights, that they may claim or otherwise have in those works or property, to the extent allowable under applicable law.

From time to time, we also incorporate certain intellectual property licensed from third parties, including under certain open-source licenses. See the section titled "Risk Factors" for a more comprehensive description of risks related to our intellectual property.

**Regulatory Matters**

We are subject to a number of U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations that involve matters central to our business. These laws and regulations may involve privacy, data protection and information security, intellectual property, competition, consumer protection, taxation, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and corruption, economic or other trade prohibitions or sanctions, or securities law compliance, or other subjects. Many of the laws and regulations to which we are subject are still evolving and being tested in courts and could be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent across jurisdictions and may also be inconsistent with our current policies and practices, any or all of which could harm our business. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often ambiguous or inconsistent, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry in which we operate, and the extent to which they apply to us is at times unclear. For more information on the potential impacts of government regulations affecting our business, see the section titled "Risk Factors."

**Human Capital Resources**

As of December 31, 2025, we had a total of 2,368 employees located in six countries, with the substantial majority of our employees located in the United States. We supplement our workforce with contractors and consultants.

To our knowledge, none of our employees is represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good. Our human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing, and integrating our existing and new employees. The principal purposes of our equity incentive plans are to attract, retain, and reward personnel through the granting of share-based compensation awards in order to increase stockholder value and the success of our company by motivating such individuals to perform to the best of their abilities and achieve our objectives.

**Corporate Information**

We were incorporated in 2012 under the name Klaviyo, Inc. as a Delaware corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 125 Summer Street, 6th Floor, Boston, MA 02110, and our telephone number is (617) 213-1788.

**Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry**

***Our rapid historical revenue growth is not indicative of our future revenue growth, and we may not be able to sustain our historical revenue growth rate, in the near term and in the future.***

We have experienced rapid revenue growth in recent periods. Our revenue was $1,234.0 million, $937.5 million, and $698.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, representing a growth rate of 31.6% in 2025 and 34.3% in 2024. Our rapid revenue growth has been driven by increases in our customer count, growth of existing customers, our expansion into international markets, our sales to mid-market and enterprise businesses, and the cross-selling of our text messaging offering alongside our data platform and email offering. We anticipate that our revenue growth rate will decelerate over time as a result of a variety of factors, including the maturation of our business, and you

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

should not rely on our historical revenue growth as an indication of our future performance. Overall growth of our revenue depends on several factors, including our ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expand subscriptions to our platform for our existing customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase the number of products we sell;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• improve the functionality of our products and our platform and achieve and/or maintain market acceptance for them;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• retain existing customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attract new customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• succeed in selling our products in new verticals and in markets outside the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• keep pace with technological developments, including rapid advances in AI and machine learning technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• price our platform subscriptions competitively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase pricing on sales of our products, which may differ from product to product;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide our customers with support that meets their needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• successfully identify and acquire or invest in businesses, products, or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our platform; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase awareness of our brand on a global basis and successfully compete with other companies.

We may not successfully accomplish any of these objectives. If we do not, or if the assumptions that we use to plan our business are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our market, or if we are unable to maintain our revenue growth for any reason, including the reasons listed above, it may be difficult to achieve and maintain profitability, the trading price of our Series A common stock may continue to be volatile, demand for our products and our platform could decline, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

***Our business has experienced rapid growth, and if we fail to effectively manage our growth or anticipated growth, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.***

We have experienced rapid growth in our business since inception, and we may continue to experience rapid growth. Our headcount has grown significantly in recent years, reaching 2,368 employees as of December 31, 2025. In addition, we have been expanding our international operations since 2019. We opened offices in the United Kingdom and Australia in 2019 and 2022, respectively, and we expanded our presence in the European region by adding operations in Ireland in 2024. In 2025, we continued our expansion into the Asia Pacific and European regions by adding operations in Singapore and France, respectively. We have also experienced significant growth in the number of customers using our platform, including the number of international customers, which increased from approximately 92,000 as of December 31, 2024 to approximately 108,000 as of December 31, 2025. We plan to continue to expand our international operations in the future. We have also experienced significant growth in the number of products, features, and messaging channels we offer (such as Reviews, Marketing Analytics, Advanced KDP, Marketing Agent, Customer Agent, Customer Hub, Helpdesk, and AI features, as well as additional messaging channels like text messaging, mobile push, and WhatsApp) and the usage and amount of data that our platform and associated infrastructure support. This growth in our business has placed and may continue to place significant demands on our operational infrastructure, financial resources, corporate culture, and management team.

As we continue to grow, we will need to further improve and scale our operating and administrative systems, as well as our ability to manage headcount, capital, and internal processes. Continued growth could also cause our organizational

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

structure to become increasingly complex, requiring us to further develop and adapt our operational, financial, and management controls, and enhance our reporting systems and procedures. Supporting these needs, and the broader expansion of our systems and infrastructure, will require substantial operational, financial, and management resources, often in advance of revenue growth and without assurance that such growth will occur. If we fail to effectively scale our systems and organization, or to recruit, train, and retain highly skilled personnel in a timely manner or at all, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Further, as our customer base continues to grow, we will need to expand our account management and customer service teams and continue to scale our platform. If we are not able to continue to provide high levels of customer service, our reputation could suffer, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***We have a limited operating history in a rapidly changing industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.***

Since we launched our platform in 2012, our business has evolved significantly as we have expanded into new product categories, markets, and customer segments, and incorporated new technologies, including AI and machine learning. As a result, our operating history with respect to our current scale, product portfolio, and go-to-market model, and our ability to forecast our future results of operations are limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for future growth. Our historical growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including those related to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• retention of customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adding new customers, particularly in the mid-market and enterprise categories;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to control costs, particularly our operating expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• network outages or security breaches and any associated expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• executing acquisitions and integrating the acquired businesses, technologies, products, and other assets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general economic, political, and market conditions, both domestically and in our foreign markets, including changes in the U.S. and foreign laws and regulations on international trade, tariffs or other disruptions to commerce.

If we do not address these risks successfully, or if our assumptions or forecasts prove to be incorrect or require adjustment, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

***We operate in a highly competitive industry, and if we do not compete effectively with established companies or new market entrants, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.***

We operate in a highly competitive industry, and we expect competition to continue to increase. We face competition from a number of companies, including Adobe, Salesforce, Mailchimp, and Braze. We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fast time-to-value and ROI for customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ease of deployment, implementation, and use;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unified data architecture, with the ability to synchronize unaggregated, historical customer profile data with real-time event data in a single system-of-record;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• integrations with third-party applications, data sources, and open-source technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• breadth and depth of features and functionality;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quality and accuracy of data and predictive intelligence;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ability to support multiple use cases and verticals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• strength of sales & marketing and partnership efforts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market vision and product strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pace of innovation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• brand awareness and reputation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• performance, scalability, security, and reliability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quality of service and customer satisfaction.

The integration and adoption of AI technology, including generative AI and autonomous AI agents, is rapidly changing the competitive dynamics of our industry. Competitors with superior AI capabilities, whether through greater investment in AI development, access to larger or higher quality training datasets, more advanced AI models, or autonomous agents with greater capabilities or broader functionality, may be able to offer more effective, efficient, or innovative solutions that attract customers. If we are unable to continue developing and integrating advanced AI functionality, including autonomous agents and generative AI features, at a pace that meets customer expectations or competitive benchmarks, our market position and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

Many of our current and potential competitors have or may have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we do. They may secure better terms from partners, adopt more aggressive or alternative pricing policies, devote more resources to technology, infrastructure, sales, marketing, and customer service, or make strategic acquisitions that expand their capabilities or customer bases. These competitors may also engage in more extensive research and development efforts or undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns, which may allow them to attract customers or partners. For example, for our text messaging offering, we do not currently separate carrier fees from the fees that our customers pay for our product. In contrast, some of our competitors separate carrier fees from their product fees, which may create the appearance of a lower product fee and which may appear more attractive. Our competitors may also develop a platform or products that are similar to ours or that achieve greater market acceptance than ours, which could attract customers or partners away from our platform or our products and reduce our market share.

In addition, if one or more of our competitors were to merge or partner with another of our competitors, our ability to compete effectively could be adversely affected. Our competitors may also establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with our current or future strategic distribution and technology partners or other parties with whom we have relationships, thereby limiting our ability to promote and increase the usage and adoption of our platform. We expect to encounter new competitors, which may include any of our current or future third-party platform providers or technology partners, both geographically and in our market verticals in and outside of retail and eCommerce. We may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, and competitive pressures could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

***Our business and success depend, in part, on our ability to successfully integrate with third-party platforms, especially with eCommerce platforms such as Shopify, and our business could be harmed as a result of any disruptions to these third-party platform integrations or our relationships with third-party platform providers.***

We depend on product integrations with various third-party platforms, especially eCommerce platforms, to sustain and grow our business. The integration of our platform and our products with these third-party platforms, including eCommerce platforms, provides us with substantial amounts of additional first-party data that would otherwise be costly or difficult to obtain. These integrations also allow us to attract customers that use these platforms to conduct their business activity. Further, our customers' experience with our platform is dependent on our ability to connect easily to these third-party platforms as well as the effectiveness and utility of these integrations. The companies that operate these third-party platforms generally dictate, to varying degrees, the terms of use of their respective platforms, including the manner and procedure by which we integrate with their respective platforms. We may fail to maintain and improve upon these integrations or relationships for many reasons, including due to our or the third parties' failure to maintain, support, or secure their third-party platforms in general and our integrations in particular, errors, bugs, or defects in our or their technology, or changes in our or their technology platforms or our relationship with such third parties due to actual or perceived competing platforms or offerings. Any such failure to integrate data from a third-party platform, or any disruption on an eCommerce platform that prevents us from integrating with that platform or reduces the interoperability between our platform and the respective third-party platform, could harm our relationship with our customers, adversely impact our reputation and brand, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Additionally, these third-party platforms may develop and deploy their own AI-powered capabilities. As they do so, they may alter access to data, APIs, or integration frameworks in ways that limit interoperability with our platform or diminish the utility of our products. Third-party platform operators may also embed AI-driven marketing, analytics, or automation features into their platforms that compete with, or reduce customer demand for, our products and services. Any of these developments could reduce the effectiveness of our integrations, limit our access to first-party data, reduce the utility of and demand for our platform, or otherwise adversely affect our relationships with customers and partners, our competitive position, and our business and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 77.9% of our ARR was derived from customers who also use Shopify Inc.'s (and together with certain of its affiliates, "Shopify") platform, while only approximately 7.4% of our new ARR in 2025 was derived from customers that came to us through the Shopify app store. Shopify also helps to promote our brand by referring new customers to us, and under our partnership with Shopify, we are the recommended email solution for Shopify Plus customers globally. Any disruption to the functionality of our integration with Shopify, including our removal from their app store, could create delays in data synchronization for our customers and adversely affect the customer experience. Further, if Shopify is unable or unwilling to continue to integrate with our platform for any reason, or if our products or our platform no longer integrate with Shopify's platform, our customers that use Shopify's eCommerce platform could be required to switch to another eCommerce platform in order to continue using our platform and our products. However, the termination or degradation of our integration with Shopify could cause us to lose customers if these customers do not transition to a new eCommerce platform, or if they transition to a platform that does not integrate with our platform. We also have integrations with other third-party eCommerce platforms, such as BigCommerce, Centra, Magento, Nuvemshop, PrestaShop, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopware, Square, Wix, and WooCommerce, and some of our customers transition from one third-party eCommerce platform to another while remaining on our platform. Further, diversifying our contractual relationships and operations with other platforms could increase the complexity of our operations and lead to increased costs. The current term of our agreement with Shopify expires in 2029, and Shopify could refuse to renew such agreement or renegotiate such agreement on terms that are neither favorable to us nor commercially reasonable. If our agreement with Shopify is not renewed, if there are any disruptions to our Shopify integration or if we are unsuccessful in maintaining our relationship with Shopify, for any reason, including actual or perceived competing offerings, the utility of and demand for our platform and our products could decline, and our business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

***Our business and success depend, in part, on the success of our relationships with third parties, such as our marketing agency and technology partners.***

We rely on third-party relationships, such as marketing agency and technology partners, to attract customers and enhance the utility of our platform. If any of the third parties on which we rely fails to perform as expected, breaches or terminates their agreement with us, or becomes engaged in a dispute with us, our reputation could be adversely affected and our business could be harmed.

For example, we rely on third-party agency partners and other marketing partners to help us acquire and retain customers. If these partners fail to promote our platform or refer new customers to us, fail to support our existing customers, begin promoting competing brands in addition to or instead of ours, are forced to change their marketing practices in response to new or existing regulations or cease to be viewed as credible sources of information by our potential customers, we may face decreased demand for our solutions, higher than expected customer acquisition costs and loss of revenue.

We also collaborate with third-party technology partners, including systems integrators and third-party developers, to enhance the utility of our platform. For example, these partners build integrations that extend our platform's core product functionality or bring additional data into our platform. These technology partners may fail to maintain, support, or improve their integrations, which could reduce the utility of our platform and in turn could decrease demand for our platform and products, harm our reputation and brand, and have a negative effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

In order to grow our business, we anticipate that we will continue to depend on relationships with third parties. Identifying, negotiating, and documenting relationships with partners requires significant time and resources. Our competitors may be more effective in providing incentives to third parties to favor their products or services or to prevent or reduce use of our services. In addition, acquisitions of our partners by our competitors could result in a decrease in the number of our current and potential customers, as our partners may no longer facilitate the adoption of our service by potential customers.

If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or grow our revenues could be impaired and our business, financial condition, and operating results may suffer.

***Unfavorable conditions in our industry or the global economy, or reductions in spending on marketing, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

Our results of operations may vary based on changes in our industry, particularly changes in the retail and eCommerce industry, as well as the impact of the global economy on our customers. Our results of operations currently depend, in part, on the demand for marketing and related services, of which the vast majority are for retail and eCommerce businesses. In addition, our revenue is dependent on the usage of our platform and the demand for our products, which in turn are influenced by the amount of business that our customers conduct. To the extent that weak or volatile economic conditions, including due to public health crises, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, inflation, government shutdowns, geopolitical developments (such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as the implementation of, or changes to or further expansions of, trade sanctions, export restrictions, tariffs, and embargoes), deterioration of the financial services industry and other events outside of our control, result in a reduced volume of business for our customers and prospective customers, demand for, and use of, our platform and our products may decline. Specifically, because we currently operate primarily in the retail and eCommerce space, any disruption caused to the customers in this space, such as a weak global economy or the introduction of tariffs causing a shift in the economic viability of the retail and eCommerce businesses, may require us to adapt our business model and our operations accordingly. Increased tariff rates could adversely affect our customers' and suppliers' businesses and in turn adversely impact our business and usage of our platform, including

customers requesting discounts on our products and services and/or delaying their purchasing decisions. In addition, the imposition of taxes that target U.S. service providers, such as us, could directly increase the prices that our customers pay and adversely affect our business, and changes or uncertainties in U.S. trade policies toward foreign countries could create unfavorable economic conditions that may adversely affect our operations and growth. Furthermore, weak economic conditions may make it more difficult to collect on outstanding accounts receivable and increase our expenses. Specifically, customers may fail to make payments when due, default under their agreements with us, or become insolvent or declare bankruptcy, or a supplier may determine that it will no longer do business with us as a customer. Additionally, we generate a significant portion of our revenue from small businesses, which may be affected by economic downturns and other adverse macroeconomic conditions, as small businesses may be more likely to reduce their marketing expenses during such periods and do so to a greater extent than larger enterprises and typically have more limited financial resources, including capital borrowing capacity. In addition, a customer or supplier could be adversely affected by any of the liquidity or other risks that are described elsewhere in this section as factors that could result in material adverse impacts on us, including but not limited to delayed access or loss of access to uninsured deposits or loss of the ability to draw on existing credit facilities involving a troubled or failed financial institution. If our customers reduce their use of our platform, or prospective customers delay adoption or elect not to adopt our platform or purchase our products, as a result of a weak economy or rising inflation and increased costs or otherwise, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

***We may not be able to add new customers, retain existing customers, or increase sales to existing customers, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.***

We derive, and expect to continue to derive, the significant majority of our revenue from the sale of subscriptions to our platform. Our business and our growth are dependent on our ability to continue to attract and acquire new customers while retaining existing customers and expanding both their usage of our platform and the products we sell to them. The demand for our products may be inhibited, and we may be unable to grow our business and customer base, for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our failure to develop or offer new or enhanced products or features in a timely manner that keeps pace with new technologies, including rapidly evolving AI capabilities, competitor offerings, and the evolving needs of our customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties providing or maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction, which could cause our existing customers to cancel or decrease their subscriptions or stop referring prospective customers to us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in our customer churn, decreases in our customer renewals or our failure to convert customers from lower tiers to higher tier priced subscriptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• perceived or actual security, availability, integrity, privacy, reliability, quality, or compatibility problems with our platform, including unscheduled downtime, outages, or security breaches;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in search engine ranking algorithms or other search and discovery mechanisms used by potential customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to market our platform in a cost-effective manner to new customers or to our existing customers due to changes in regulation, or changes in the enforcement of existing regulation, that would affect our marketing or pricing practices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unexpected increases in the costs of acquiring new customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to expand into new industry verticals and use cases; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to expand into new geographic regions.

In order for us to sustain demand for our products and maintain or increase our revenue growth, it is important that our customers renew and/or expand their subscriptions. Most of our customers' subscriptions with us are month-to-month, and they therefore have no obligation to renew their subscriptions or maintain their usage levels. Some of our customers have elected not to renew their subscriptions with us in the past, and it is difficult to accurately predict long-term customer retention. Customers may also renew on terms less favorable to us, optimize their usage, or reduce their spend. Further, to achieve continued growth, we must not only maintain our relationships with our existing customers, but expand our commercial relationships with our existing customers and encourage them to increase usage of our platform.

In order to increase our sales to new and existing customers, we may need to significantly expand our selling and marketing operations, including our sales force and third-party referral and marketing agency partners, and continue to dedicate significant resources to selling and marketing programs, both domestically and internationally. We rely on our marketing agency partners to provide certain services to our customers, as well as refer new customers to our platform. Our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our platform will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively organize, focus, and train our selling and marketing personnel, attract new marketing agency partners and retain existing marketing agency partners.

Any failure to continue to attract new customers, retain existing customers or increase usage of our platform by existing customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing operating expenses in the future, and we may not be able to achieve and maintain profitability in the future.***

We incurred net losses of $31.8 million, $46.1 million, and $308.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. We are not certain whether we will be able to achieve and maintain profitability in the future. Based on our current planned operations, we expect our cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses for at least the next twelve months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that in the future may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. We also expect our costs and expenses to increase in future periods as we continue to invest in our business and increase our product offerings, which could negatively affect our future results of operations if our revenue does not continue to increase. In particular, we intend to continue to expend substantial financial resources on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our technology infrastructure and operations, including systems architecture, scalability, availability, performance, and security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• platform development, including investments in our platform development team, AI and machine learning technologies, and the development of new products and functionality for our platform as well as investments in further improving our existing platform and infrastructure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• international expansion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our selling and marketing organization, to engage our existing and prospective customers, increase brand awareness and drive adoption of our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acquisitions or strategic investments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general administration, including increased insurance, legal, and accounting expenses associated with being a public company.

We may not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments, which could be more costly than we currently anticipate, or the realization of these benefits could be delayed. These investments may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. If we are unable to maintain or increase our revenue at a rate sufficient to offset the expected increase in our costs, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected, and the trading price of our Series A common stock could decline as a result.

***As we seek to move up-market, we expect our sales cycle with enterprise customers to be longer than with small-and-mid size businesses and we will be required to scale our operations, including by expanding our sales efforts, which may require considerable time and expense.***

The majority of our customers are small to mid-size businesses and subscribe to our platform on a month-to-month basis. However, as we scale our business and enter into agreements with larger customers, such as enterprise customers, we expect that we will enter into longer-term agreements for usage of our platform and products. We anticipate that these prospective enterprise customers may have lengthy sales cycles for the evaluation and procurement of our platform and the timing of our sales cycles with these enterprise customers and the related revenue may be difficult to predict. Any delays in our sales cycles may increase the amount of time between when we incur the operating expenses related to these sales efforts and, upon successful sales, the generation of corresponding revenue. Further, we may incur additional selling and marketing expenses as we move up-market and shift our sales strategy to adapt not only to longer sales cycles but to the nature of a new sales motion associated with enterprise sales. As we seek to acquire these enterprise customers, we also anticipate that we will need to increase our sales and customer support capabilities. We may also be required to spend a significant amount of time and resources to train our sales and customer support teams for interfacing with enterprise customers, as well as educating our potential enterprise customers and familiarizing them with our platform. Additionally, these large organizations may have large data sets that require us to evaluate our existing data storage, collection and processing capabilities, and enhance the features and scalability of our platform. Enterprise customers may also view a subscription to our platform and products as a strategic decision with significant investment. As a result, these customers may require considerable time to evaluate, test, and qualify our platform prior to entering into or expanding a subscription. As we engage with enterprise customers, we may expend a greater amount of time and money on selling and marketing and contract negotiation activities, which may not result in a sale. Additional factors that may influence the length and variability of our sales cycle include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effectiveness of our sales team as we hire and train our new salespeople to sell to large enterprise customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the discretionary nature of purchasing, budget cycles, and decisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the obstacles placed by customers' procurement processes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• economic conditions and other factors impacting customer budgets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• customers' familiarity with our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• customers' evaluation of competing products during the purchasing process; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• evolving customer demands.

In light of these factors, it is difficult to predict whether and when a sale will be completed, and if completed, the additional customer engagement and services we will need to provide for the duration of the agreement. Consequently, our efforts to expand up-market and enter into agreements with larger organizations may be difficult and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition if we do not adapt our business to the needs of the enterprise customer base.

***We have historically invested significantly in research and development and expect this investment to continue. If these investments do not translate into new products or enhancements to our current products or product features, or if we do not use those investments efficiently, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.***

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, our research and development expenses were 23.6%, 25.4%, and 37.6% of our revenue, respectively. Research and development projects can be technically challenging and expensive, and require specialized personnel and significant computing infrastructure, particularly as we work to expand both the channels through which we offer our products and the use cases for our products beyond marketing and integrate resource-

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

intensive technologies, such as AI and machine learning. In addition, our products have varying associated communication sending costs, and our research and development team may not be able to mitigate the impact of growth in any of those higher-cost channels, such as text messaging, by maintaining efficiency. These investments may adversely affect our operating margins and short-term profitability, and we may not realize the expected benefits. The nature of research and development cycles may cause us to experience delays between the time we incur expenses associated with research and development and the time we are able to offer compelling products and generate revenue, if any, from this investment. Additionally, anticipated customer demand for a product we are developing could decrease after the development cycle has commenced, and we would nonetheless be unable to avoid substantial costs associated with the development of any such product. If we expend a significant amount of resources on research and development and our efforts do not lead to the successful introduction or improvement of products that are competitive in our current or future markets or if we do not spend our research and development budget efficiently or effectively on compelling innovation and technologies, our competitive advantage may be adversely affected, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, growth prospects, and results of operations.

***If we fail to adapt and respond effectively to technological changes, evolving industry standards, changing regulations or changing customer or consumer needs, requirements or preferences, our platform may become less competitive.***

The market in which we compete is relatively new and subject to rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, and changing regulations, as well as changing customer and consumer needs, requirements, and preferences, including changes in the use of channels through which consumers desire to communicate with brands. For example, while email marketing has been the primary product on our platform, our text messaging and WhatsApp offering is relatively new, and customers may prefer text message, WhatsApp, or push marketing campaigns or campaigns using other new types of communication channels to email campaigns in the future. Further, as consumer engagement and purchasing behaviors evolve across emerging channels and technologies, we may need to adapt our offering to align with these shifts, manage the differing margin profiles associated with such channels and technologies and mitigate potential margin compression. The success of our business will depend, in part, on our ability to adapt and respond effectively to changes in customer and consumer preference on a timely basis in the markets that we currently serve, such as retail and eCommerce, and in markets we may enter in the future. Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers depends in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our platform and products, offer new features as part of our existing products, offer new products, and increase adoption and usage of our platform and products. For example, we expect that the number of integrations with our customers' infrastructure that we will need to support will continue to expand as customers and developers adopt new software solutions, and we may have to develop new integrations to work with those new solutions. The success of any enhancements to our existing or new products depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequate quality testing, actual performance quality, market-accepted pricing levels, and overall market acceptance. Enhancements to our existing and new products that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain errors or defects, may have interoperability difficulties with our platform or products, or may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue.

Further, the use of machine learning and AI has become increasingly prevalent in our industry, and, although we intend to continue developing our platform's machine learning and AI capabilities to meet the needs of our customers and partners, including generative AI and autonomous agents, we may be unable to accurately or efficiently integrate machine learning and AI features or functionalities of the quality or type sought by our customers and partners or offered by our competitors. These development efforts may also require significant engineering, sales, and marketing resources, all of which could require significant capital and management investment. If we are unable to enhance our platform and product offerings to keep pace with rapid technological and regulatory change, or if new technologies, including machine learning and AI solutions, emerge that are able to deliver competitive products at aggressive or alternative prices, more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely than our platform, demand for our platform and product offerings may decline, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

***We depend on our senior management team, and the loss of one or more members of our senior management team or our key employees, or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees, could adversely affect our business.***

Our success depends upon the continued service and contributions of our executive officers. We rely on our leadership team for research and development, marketing, sales, services, and general and administrative functions, and on mission-critical individual contributors. In particular, we depend on the vision, skills, experience, and effort of our co-founder and co-CEO, Andrew Bialecki, and our co-CEO Chano Fernández. From time to time, our executive management team has changed and may continue to change due to the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees, so the loss of one or more of our executive officers or key employees (including any limitation on the performance of their duties or short-term or long-term absences as a result of illness or disability) could adversely affect our business.

Our future success also depends, in part, on our ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. Competition for this type of personnel is intense, especially for experienced software engineers, personnel with experience in AI and machine learning, and senior sales executives. In addition, a portion of our workforce is remote, which adds to the complexity of our business operations. We expect to continue to experience difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. If we hire employees from competitors or other companies, their former employers may attempt to assert that these employees or we have breached legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of our time and resources.

Many of our key personnel are vested in a substantial amount of shares of our Series A common stock, Series B common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and/or stock options. Employees may be more likely to terminate their employment with us if the shares they own or the shares underlying their vested RSUs or options have significantly appreciated in value relative to the original purchase prices of the shares or the exercise price of the options or grant date values of the RSUs, or, conversely, if the exercise price of the options that they hold are significantly above the trading price of our Series A common stock. In addition, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the stock awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our stock awards declines, it may adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled employees. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, it could adversely affect our business and future growth prospects.

***If we fail to maintain and enhance our brand, our ability to maintain or expand our customer base may be impaired and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.***

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand is important to support the marketing and sale of our existing and future products to new customers and expand sales of our platform and products to existing customers. We also believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market increases. Successfully maintaining and enhancing our brand will depend largely on our ability to carry out effective marketing efforts, provide reliable products that continue to meet the needs of our customers at competitive prices, maintain our customers' trust, ensure the protection of our customers' data, develop new functionality and use cases, and successfully differentiate our products and platform capabilities from the products of our competitors. Our brand promotion activities may not generate customer awareness or yield increased revenue and, even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, the demand for our products may decline, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

***Doing business internationally exposes us to significant risks, and our future success depends in part on our ability to navigate the international business environment and drive the adoption of our products by international customers.***

The future success of our business will depend, in part, on our ability to expand our customer base worldwide, and we are continuing to expand our international operations to increase our revenue from customers located outside of the United States as part of our growth strategy. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we derived 39.9%, 37.6%

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

and 36.5% of our revenue, respectively, from customer accounts outside of the United States. We currently have international offices in the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Singapore, and France and we expect that we may in the future open additional offices internationally and hire employees to work at these offices in order to grow our business, reach new customers, and gain access to additional technical talent. Operating in international markets requires significant resources and management attention and will subject us to regulatory, economic, and political risks in addition to those we already face in the United States. Because of our limited experience with international operations as well as developing and managing sales in international markets, we may not succeed in marketing our products to potential customers internationally, as a result of which our international expansion efforts may not be successful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In addition, we will face risks in doing business internationally that could adversely affect our business, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes, which may be unexpected, in a specific country's or region's political, economic, or legal and regulatory environment, including public health crises, geopolitical conflicts, terrorist activities, tariffs, trade wars or trade conflicts, or long-term environmental risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the need to adapt and localize our platform for specific countries, and the costs associated with adapting and localizing our platform;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• longer payment cycles and greater difficulty enforcing contracts, collecting accounts receivable, or satisfying revenue recognition criteria, especially in emerging markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• differing and potentially more onerous labor regulations, especially in Europe, where labor laws are generally more advantageous to employees as compared to the United States, including deemed hourly wage and overtime regulations in these locations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• challenges inherent in efficiently managing, and the increased costs associated with, an increased number of employees over large geographic distances, including the need to implement appropriate systems, policies, benefits, and compliance programs that are specific to each jurisdiction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in managing a business in new markets with diverse cultures, languages, customs, legal systems, alternative dispute systems, and regulatory systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased travel, real estate, infrastructure, and legal compliance costs associated with international operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• currency exchange rate fluctuations and the resulting effect on our revenue and expenses, and the cost and risk of entering into hedging transactions if we chose to do so in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• laws and business practices favoring local competitors or general market preferences for local vendors or domestic products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limited or insufficient intellectual property protection or difficulties obtaining, maintaining, protecting, or enforcing our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks and patents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• public health crises that could decrease economic activity in certain markets, decrease use of our products, or decrease our ability to import, export, or sell our products to existing or new customers in international markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exposure to liabilities under export control, economic and trade sanctions, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws, including the Export Administration Regulations, the OFAC regulations, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the "FCPA"), U.S. bribery laws, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 (the "U.K. Bribery Act"), and similar laws and regulations in other jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• differing technical standards, existing or future regulatory and certification requirements, and required features and functionality;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• burdens of complying with the foreign equivalents of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the "TCPA"), the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act of 2003 ("CAN-SPAM"), and similar laws and regulations in other jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• burdens of complying with laws and regulations related to privacy and data security, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (the "EU GDPR") and similar laws and regulations in other jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• burdens of complying with laws and regulations related to taxation, including tariffs or the introduction of taxes by foreign countries that target U.S. service providers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse tax burdens, foreign exchange controls, and other regulations that could make it difficult to repatriate earnings and cash.

Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our international operations, and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***Our business and reputation could be adversely affected if our customers are not satisfied with the integration or implementation of our platform and products provided by us or our partners.***

The success of our business depends on our customers' satisfaction with our platform and our products and the support that we provide for our platform and products to help customers integrate and utilize our platform and products. If a customer is not satisfied with the quality of work performed by us or a third-party or with the solutions delivered, we could incur additional costs to address the deficiency, which would diminish the profitability of the customer relationship. If we do not help our customers quickly resolve issues and provide effective ongoing support, our ability to sell new products to existing and new customers will suffer and our reputation with existing or potential customers will be harmed, even if the dissatisfaction resulted from services provided by a third-party partner. Further, customer dissatisfaction with our products or support services, or negative publicity related to our customer relationships, could impair our ability to expand the subscriptions within our customer base or adversely affect our customers' renewal of existing subscriptions.

***We may continue to experience quarterly fluctuations in our results of operations due to a number of factors that make our future results difficult to predict, could cause the trading price of our Series A common stock to fluctuate, and could cause our results of operations to fall below analyst or investor expectations.***

Our quarterly results of operations may continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, our past results may not be indicative of our future performance, and comparing our results of operations on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. For example, in the past we have seen an increase in demand for our platform and our products during the fourth quarter of each year and around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Additionally, factors that may impact these fluctuations include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• demand for our platform and products by our customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our success in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing and success of new capabilities, including AI features, by us or by our competitors or any other change in the competitive landscape of our market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount and timing of operating expenses and capital expenditures, as well as entry into operating leases, that we may incur to maintain and expand our business and operations and remain competitive;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of expenses and recognition of revenue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduction in certain customers' usage of our platform that is subject to seasonal fluctuations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• security breaches, and technical difficulties involving our platform or interruptions or disruptions of our platform;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse litigation judgments, other dispute-related settlement payments, or other litigation-related costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in, and continuing uncertainty in relation to, the legislative or regulatory environment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of hiring new employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the rate of expansion and productivity of our sales force;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of the grant or vesting of equity awards to employees, directors, consultants, or advisors and the recognition of associated expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs and timing of expenses related to the acquisition of businesses, talent, technologies, or intellectual property, including potentially significant amortization costs and possible write-downs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of tax charges as a result of non-compliance with federal, state, or local tax regulations in the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes to generally accepted accounting standards in the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• public health crises, such as pandemics, epidemics, and outbreaks of infectious diseases;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• responses by domestic and international markets to tariffs and trade conflicts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general economic conditions in either domestic or international markets, including conditions resulting from geopolitical uncertainty and instability.

Any one or more of the factors above may result in significant fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations.

The variability and unpredictability of our quarterly results of operations or other operating metrics could result in our failure to meet our expectations, or those of our investors or analysts that cover us. If we fail to meet or exceed such expectations for these or any other reasons, the trading price of our Series A common stock could fluctuate, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***We rely upon a third-party provider of cloud-based infrastructure to host and sell our products. Any disruption in the operations of this provider or limitations on capacity or interference with our use could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

We outsource substantially all the infrastructure relating to our cloud-based platform to a third-party hosting provider. Our customers need to be able to access our platform at any time, without interruption or degradation of performance. Our products depend on protecting the virtual cloud infrastructure hosted by a third-party hosting provider by maintaining its configuration, architecture, features, and interconnection specifications, as well as the information stored in these virtual data centers, which is transmitted by a third-party internet service provider. Any limitation on the capacity or availability of our third-party hosting provider could impede our ability to onboard new customers or expand the usage of our existing customers, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In the event that our service agreements with our third-party hosting provider are terminated or there is a lapse of service, elimination of services or features that we utilize, interruption of internet service provider connectivity or damage to such provider's facilities, we could experience interruptions in access to our platform as well as significant delays and additional expense in arranging or creating new facilities and services and/or re-architecting our cloud solution for deployment on a different cloud infrastructure service provider, which could be technically challenging, time-consuming, and expensive and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our business depends on our ability to send consumer engagement messages, including emails, text messages and WhatsApp messages, and any significant disruption in service with our third-party providers or on mobile operating systems could result in a loss of customers or less effective consumer-brand engagement, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

Our brand, reputation, and ability to attract new customers depend on the reliable performance of our technology infrastructure and content delivery. Our platform engages with consumers through emails, text messages and WhatsApp messages, and we largely depend on third-party services to deliver these consumer engagement messages. Any incident broadly affecting the interaction of third-party devices with our platform, including any delays or interruptions in these services that could cause delays to emails, text messages and WhatsApp messages, could adversely affect our business. Similarly, cybersecurity events could result in a disruption to such third-party's services, including regulatory investigations, reputational damage, and a loss of sales and customers, which could in turn impact our business. A prolonged disruption, cybersecurity event or any other negative event affecting a third-party service could lead to customer dissatisfaction and could in turn damage our reputation with current and potential customers, result in a breach under our agreements with our customers, and cause us to lose customers or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We depend in part on mobile operating systems and their respective infrastructures to send consumer engagement messages through various applications that utilize our platform. As new email, mobile devices, and mobile and web platforms are released, existing email, mobile devices, and platforms may cease to support our platform or effectively roll out updates to our customers' applications. Any changes in these systems or platforms that negatively impact the functionality of our platform could adversely affect our ability to interact with consumers in a timely and effective fashion, which could adversely affect our ability to retain and attract new customers. The parties that control the operating systems for mobile devices and mobile, web, and email platforms have no obligation to test the interoperability of new mobile devices or platforms with our platform, and third parties may produce new products that are incompatible with or not optimal for the operation of our platform. Additionally, in order to deliver high-quality consumer engagement, we need to ensure that our platform is designed to work effectively with a range of mobile technologies, systems, networks, and standards. If consumers choose to use products or platforms that do not support our platform, or if we do not ensure our platform can work effectively with such products or platforms, our business and growth could be harmed. We also may not be successful in developing or maintaining relationships with key participants in the email or mobile industries that permit such interoperability. If we are unable to adapt to changes in popular operating systems and platforms, we expect that our customer retention and customer growth would be adversely affected.

***We rely heavily on the reliability, security, and performance of our software. If our software contains serious errors or defects, or we have difficulty maintaining our software, we may lose revenue and market acceptance and may incur costs to defend or settle claims with our customers.***

The reliability and continuous availability of our platform is critical to our business. However, software and products in our industry are inherently complex and often contain errors, defects, security vulnerabilities or software bugs that are difficult to detect and correct, particularly when first introduced or when new versions, AI features, or enhancements are released. Our platform may contain serious errors or real or perceived defects, security vulnerabilities, failures or software bugs that we may be unable to successfully correct in a timely manner or at all, which could result in lost revenue, significant expenditures of capital, a delay or loss in market acceptance of our platform, negative publicity, loss of competitive position, lower customer retention or claims by customers for losses sustained by them and damage to our reputation and brand, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem(s). In addition, we may not carry insurance sufficient to compensate us for any losses that may result from claims arising from defects or disruptions in our products.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

As a result of any of these events, our reputation and our brand could be harmed, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

***Any failure to offer high-quality technical support services may harm our relationships with our customers, our brand, and our results of operations.***

Once our products are deployed, our customers depend on our support organization to resolve technical issues relating to our products, which may become more complex as we expand our customer base to include larger enterprise customers. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for support services, or hire and train sufficient qualified support personnel with the specific domain knowledge and technical expertise required to support our platform. We may also be unable to modify the format of our support services to compete with changes in support services provided by our competitors. Increased customer demand for these services could increase costs, without corresponding increases in revenue, and harm our gross margins and results of operations. In addition, our sales process is highly dependent on the quality of our products, the reputation of our business, the positive recommendations from our existing customers and through word-of-mouth generally. Any failure to maintain high-quality technical support, or a perception by our customers and others that we do not maintain high-quality support, could harm our reputation and our ability to sell our products to existing and prospective customers, and as a result, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***If we are unable to maintain our culture and core values as we grow, we could lose the innovation, teamwork, passion, and focus on execution that we believe contribute to our success, and our business may be harmed.***

We believe our culture and core values are critical to our success and have delivered tangible financial and operational benefits to our customers, employees, and stockholders. Our values impact everything we do in our organization, and we have designed our core values as a guiding set of principles for our employees and business. Accordingly, we have invested substantial time and resources in building a team that reflects our culture and core values. As we continue to grow and expand internationally, our operations are likely to become increasingly complex, and we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our culture and core values. Any failure to manage our anticipated growth and organizational changes in a manner that preserves the key aspects of our culture and core values could hurt our ability to recruit and retain personnel and effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. Any failure to preserve our culture or core values could negatively affect our future success.

***We may not realize the anticipated benefits of our efforts to streamline operations and improve cost efficiencies, including restructuring and reorganization activities, which may be disruptive to our operations and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.***

We have previously undertaken, and may in the future undertake, efforts to streamline our operations and improve cost efficiencies to align with our priorities. For example, in March 2023, we implemented a reduction-in-force affecting approximately 8% of our global workforce. We may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits, such as operational improvements and savings, from these efforts due to unforeseen difficulties, delays, unexpected costs, or diversion of management attention. If there are unforeseen expenses associated with these efforts and we incur unanticipated charges or liabilities, or if we are unable to realize the expected operational efficiencies and cost savings, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Furthermore, our workforce reductions may be disruptive to our operations. For example, our workforce reductions could yield unanticipated consequences, such as attrition beyond planned staff reductions, increased difficulties in our day-to-day operations, reduced employee morale or productivity, loss of institutional knowledge, and harm to our reputation as an employer. We may also face claims, lawsuits, or regulatory scrutiny related to these actions, particularly in jurisdictions with complex labor laws. We may also discover that the reductions in workforce and cost cutting measures will make it difficult for us to pursue new opportunities and initiatives and require us to hire qualified replacement personnel, which may require us to incur additional and unanticipated costs and expenses.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

We may take similar steps in the future as we seek to realize operating synergies, optimize our operations to achieve our target operating model and profitability objectives, respond to market forces or better reflect changes in the strategic direction of our business. Our failure to successfully accomplish any of the above activities and goals could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***Changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause adverse, unexpected financial reporting fluctuations and affect our results of operations.***

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines, and interpretations we apply to a wide range of matters that are or could be relevant to our business, such as accounting for revenue recognition, costs associated with internal-use software, business combinations, long-lived asset impairment, goodwill, variable interest entities, and stock-based compensation, are complex and involve subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments by our management. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change or add significant volatility to our reported or expected financial performance. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred in the past, and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or evolving interpretations or the questioning of current practices by regulatory bodies may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business, and identifying and implementing such changes could require us to make significant changes to our financial management systems, internal controls, and processes, which could be costly and time-consuming. In addition, if we were to change our critical accounting estimates, including those related to the recognition of subscription revenue and other revenue sources or the period of benefit for deferred contract acquisition costs, our results of operations could be significantly affected. For more information, see Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Polices in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***If our judgments or estimates relating to our critical accounting estimates are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our results of operations could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline of the trading price of our Series A common stock.***

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances; however, by their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the trading price of our Series A common stock. Significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include, or may in the future include, those related to revenue recognition, capitalization of internal-use software costs, stock-based compensation expense, business combinations, and tax sharing liability.

***We track and disclose certain operational metrics, which are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and materially adversely affect our stock price, business, results of operations, and financial condition.***

We track and disclose certain operational metrics, including metrics such as KAV and NRR, which are calculated using internal data and tools that are not independently verified by any third party and may differ from estimates or similar metrics published by third parties or other companies due to differences in sources, methodologies, or the assumptions on which we rely, and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies. Our internal systems and tools are subject to a number of limitations, and our methodologies for tracking these metrics may change over

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

time, which could result in unexpected changes to our metrics, including the metrics we publicly disclose. If the internal systems and tools we use to track these metrics undercount or overcount performance or contain algorithmic or other technical errors, the data we report may not be accurate.

Limitations or errors with respect to how we measure data or with respect to the data that we measure may affect our understanding of certain details of our business, which could affect our long-term strategies. If our operational metrics are not accurate representations of our business, or if investors do not perceive these metrics to be accurate, or if we discover material inaccuracies with respect to these figures, our reputation may be significantly harmed, our stock price could decline, we may be subject to stockholder litigation, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

***If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.***

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations of the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and effective internal control over financial reporting. We continue to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We also continue to improve our internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight.

Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. In addition, internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting have been discovered in the past and may be discovered in the future. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our results of operations or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we are required to include in our periodic reports that are filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our Series A common stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We are required to comply with the SEC rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and must provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm is required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition, and could cause a decline in the trading price of our Series A common stock.

***We face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, and such fluctuations could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.***

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As our international operations expand, our exposure to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates will increase. We expect to expand the number of transactions with customers that are denominated in foreign currencies in the future as we continue to expand our business internationally. Accordingly, changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can affect our results of operations due to transactional and translational remeasurements. As a result of these foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, it could be more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and results of operations.

***Changes in tax law could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

The rules governing U.S. federal, state, and local and non-U.S. taxation are constantly under review by legislative bodies, the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Treasury Department, and other taxing authorities. For example, on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was signed into law. Key tax provisions include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation for certain qualified property, immediate expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures and modifications to international tax provisions. Changes to tax laws or tax rulings, or changes in interpretations of existing laws (which changes may have retroactive application), could adversely affect us or holders of our Series A common stock. These changes could subject us to additional income-based taxes and non-income taxes (such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, digital services, net worth, property, and goods and services taxes), which in turn could materially affect our financial position and results of operations.

Additionally, new, changed, modified, or newly interpreted or applied tax laws could increase our customers' and our compliance, operating, and other costs, as well as the costs of our products. In recent years, many such changes have been made, and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future.

Furthermore, as we expand the scale of our business activities, any changes in the U.S. and non-U.S. taxation of such activities may increase our effective tax rate and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For example, many countries are actively considering or have proposed or enacted changes to their tax laws based on the model rules adopted by The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") defining a 15% global minimum tax (commonly referred to as Pillar Two), which could increase our tax obligations in countries where we do business or cause us to change the way we operate our business.

***Our international operations and structure subject us to potentially adverse tax consequences.***

We currently conduct our operations in the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, and other jurisdictions through subsidiaries. Our intercompany arrangements with those subsidiaries are subject to complex transfer pricing regulations administered by taxing authorities in those jurisdictions, and these taxing authorities may challenge our methodologies for our determinations as to the value of assets sold or acquired or income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. In addition, our tax expense could be affected depending on the applicability of withholding and other taxes (including withholding and indirect taxes on software licenses and related intercompany transactions) under applicable laws. The relevant revenue and taxing authorities may also disagree with positions we have taken generally. If any such disagreements were to occur (whether with the taxing authorities in jurisdictions where we currently do business or in those of jurisdictions where we may in the future operate) and our position were not sustained, we could be required to pay

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

additional taxes, interest, and penalties, which could result in one-time tax charges, higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows, and lower overall profitability of our operations.

***Our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal tax purposes is subject to limitation and risk that could further limit our ability to utilize our net operating losses.***

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $1.0 billion of federal net operating losses ("NOLs"), which have an indefinite life. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $618.5 million of state NOLs. State NOLs have a definite life, with various expiration dates beginning in 2031. Under current law, federal NOLs generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal NOLs is limited to 80% of our taxable income annually for tax years beginning after December 31, 2020. NOLs generated prior to December 31, 2017, however, have a 20-year carryforward period, but are not subject to the 80% limitation. Due to certain executive option exercises as well as tax legislation impacts from the OBBBA, we anticipate NOLs to increase in the future.

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a corporation's ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income may be significantly limited if it experiences an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. In general, an ownership change will occur if there is a cumulative change in a corporation's ownership by "5 percent shareholders" that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period, including changes in ownership arising from new issuances of stock. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. Our ability to use net operating loss to reduce future taxable income and liabilities may be subject to annual limitations as a result of ownership changes that may occur in the future. A corporation that experiences an ownership change will generally be subject to an annual limitation on the use of its pre-ownership change NOLs equal to the value of the corporation immediately before the ownership change, multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate (subject to certain adjustments). Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we have acquired or may acquire in the future may be subject to similar limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs by federal or state taxing authorities or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to reduce future income tax liabilities. For these reasons, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of the NOLs reflected on our balance sheet, even if we attain profitability, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***We may require additional capital to support the growth of our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.***

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity financings and cash generated from our operations through sales of subscriptions to our platform. We cannot be certain when, or if, our operations will generate sufficient cash to fully fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business. We intend to continue to make investments to support our business and our growth, and may require additional funds to respond to future business challenges, including the need to develop new features or enhance our platform, improve our operating infrastructure, or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we incur debt, the debt holders would have rights senior to holders of our Series A common stock to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could include restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, any of which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. Furthermore, if we issue equity or equity-linked securities, our existing stockholders could experience dilution, and new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our Series A common stock. As a result, our stockholders bear the risk of future issuances of debt or equity securities reducing the value of our Series A common stock and diluting their interests. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all. There has recently been volatility in and disruptions to the global economy, including the equity and debt financial markets. Such volatility and economic downturns in general, or volatility in our stock price specifically, could limit our access to capital markets and increase our borrowing costs. If adequate funds

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to invest in future growth opportunities, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Partnerships, strategic investments, alliances or acquisitions could be difficult to identify, pose integration challenges, divert the attention of management, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

We have in the past and may in the future seek to enter into joint ventures, or acquire or invest in new businesses, products, platform capabilities or technologies that we believe could complement our products or expand our platform capabilities, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. For example, in October 2022, we acquired Napkin.io, a platform that provides developers an easy and secure way to write and deploy code, and in August 2025, we acquired Gatsby, a social automation product that helps brands convert engagement over social channels into owned customer relationships. In the future, we may not be able to find and identify desirable joint ventures, acquisition targets or business opportunities or be successful in entering into an agreement with any particular potential strategic partner. Additionally, any such venture, acquisition or investment may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable opportunities, whether or not the transactions are completed, and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. We may also inherit liabilities or obligations of acquired companies that we are unable to successfully mitigate, including issues related to intellectual property, data privacy, tax, or regulatory compliance, which may not be discovered during our due diligence. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, products and platform capabilities, personnel or operations of any acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of an acquired company choose not to work for us, their software is not easily adapted to work with our platform or our products, or if we experience difficulties in integrating their financial reporting and internal controls, or if we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management or otherwise. Cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from acquired companies may also result in the loss of key personnel or decreased productivity. These transactions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources, and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the development of our existing business. Any such transactions that we are able to complete may not result in any synergies or other benefits we had expected to achieve, which could result in impairment charges that could be substantial. These transactions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, if the resulting business from such a transaction fails to meet our expectations, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected, or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.

***Any future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend.***

We have been and may from time to time in the future be subject to litigation and legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought by our customers in connection with commercial disputes, securities class actions, cybersecurity or data privacy claims, intellectual property disputes, regulatory investigations, or employment claims made by our current or former employees. Litigation might result in substantial costs, negative publicity, or injunctive relief that requires us to change our business practices or product offerings, and may divert management's attention and resources, which might seriously harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We evaluate these litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we may establish reserves and/or disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as and when required or appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on information available to management at the time of such assessment or estimation and involve a significant amount of judgment. As a result, actual outcomes or losses could differ materially from those envisioned by our current assessments and estimates. In addition, insurance might not cover those claims, provide sufficient payments to cover all the costs to resolve one or more such claims or continue to be available on terms acceptable to us (including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements). A claim

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Additionally, members of our board of directors or management team who have experience as board members, officers, executives or employees of other companies have been, are currently, or may become, involved in litigation, investigations or other proceedings, including related to those companies or otherwise. The defense or prosecution of these matters could be time-consuming, and the potential outcomes of such actions may negatively affect our reputation.

***We agree to indemnify customers and other third parties pursuant to various contractual arrangements we enter into in the course of business, which exposes us to substantial potential liability.***

The contracts that we enter into with our customers and various other third parties may include indemnification or other provisions under which we agree to indemnify or otherwise be liable to those parties for losses arising from alleged infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of intellectual property rights, data protection violations, breaches of representations and warranties, damage to property or persons, or other liabilities arising from our platform, technology, or obligations under such contracts. An event triggering our indemnity obligations could give rise to multiple claims involving multiple customers or other third parties. These claims may require us to initiate or defend protracted and costly litigation on behalf of our customers and other third parties, regardless of the merits of these claims. We may not have adequate or any insurance coverage and may be liable for up to the full amount of the indemnified claims. Even where the terms of our contractual arrangements with our customers do not require us to indemnify our customers, we may agree to indemnify or support our customers and various other third parties in connection with litigation involving our products. The foregoing could result in substantial liability or material disruption to our business or could negatively impact our relationships with customers or other third parties, reduce demand for our products, and materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and similar laws, and non-compliance with these laws can subject us to criminal penalties or significant fines and adversely affect our business and reputation.***

We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery and similar laws, such as the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, and other anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and anti-money laundering laws in countries where we conduct activities. Anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws have been interpreted broadly and enforced aggressively in recent years, and prohibit companies and their employees and agents from promising, authorizing, making, or offering improper payments or other benefits to government officials and others in the private sector to influence official action, obtain necessary permits, licenses, and other regulatory approvals, direct business to any person, gain any improper advantage, or obtain or retain business. As we increase our international sales and business, our risks under these laws may increase.

In addition, in the future we may use third parties to conduct business on our behalf abroad. We or such future third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities, and we can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of such future third-party intermediaries and our employees, representatives, contractors, partners, and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities. We have implemented an anti-corruption compliance program but cannot assure you that all our employees and agents, as well as those companies we outsource certain of our business operations to, will not take actions in violation of our policies and applicable law, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. Any violation of the FCPA, other applicable anti-corruption laws, or anti-money laundering laws could result in whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, prosecutions, loss of export privileges, suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracts, substantial diversion of management's attention, significant legal fees and fines, settlements, damages, severe criminal or civil sanctions, penalties, injunctions, or collateral consequences against us, our officers or our employees, disgorgement of profits, and other sanctions, enforcement actions and remedial measures, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business,

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, business, trading price, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

***The effects of a pandemic, epidemic, outbreak of an infectious disease or other public health crises may materially affect how we and our partners and customers are operating our businesses, and the duration and extent of these kinds of events may impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance.***

Our business could be adversely affected by health crises in regions where we operate or otherwise do business. For example, the policies and regulations implemented in response to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease had a significant impact, both directly and indirectly, on businesses and commerce. Future global health concerns could also result in social, political, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the third parties with whom we engage operate.

The impact to our business from any future pandemic, epidemic, outbreak of an infectious disease or other public health crises depends on multiple factors that cannot be accurately predicted, such as its duration and scope, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, the disruption caused by such actions, and the efficacy and rates of vaccines. Any future pandemic, epidemic, outbreak of an infectious disease or other public health crises could have severe impacts on our business and our customers' and prospective customers' businesses, for example, by adversely impacting their timing, ability, or willingness to spend on our marketing platform and product offerings. Negative effects of any pandemic, epidemic, outbreak of an infectious disease or other public health crises on our customers or prospective customers could lead to pricing discounts or extended payment terms, reductions in the amount or duration of customers' subscriptions, or increase customer attrition rates. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our productivity, employee morale, future sales, operating results, and overall financial performance. To the extent any future pandemic, epidemic, outbreak of an infectious disease or other public health crisis adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described herein.

**Risks Relating to Privacy, Data Security, and Data Protection Laws**

***We collect, process, store, share, disclose, and use personal information and other data, which subjects us to legal obligations related to privacy and security, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with these obligations could harm our business.***

We collect, process, store, share, disclose, and use information from and about individuals, including our customers, their customers and users, including personal information, and other data. As a result, we are subject to a number of different legal requirements applicable to privacy. There are numerous laws around the world regarding privacy and security, including laws regarding the collection, processing, storage, sharing, disclosure, use and security of personal information, and other data from and about our customers, respondents, and users. The scope of these laws is changing, subject to differing interpretations and governmental agency enforcement priorities, may be costly to comply with, and may be inconsistent among countries and jurisdictions or conflict with other rules.

We are also subject to contractual obligations regarding the processing of personal information and must comply with our own privacy and security policies. Additionally, if third parties we work with, such as customers, partners, vendors or developers, violate applicable laws, our policies or other privacy or security-related obligations, these violations may also put our users' information at risk and could in turn have an adverse effect on our business. In the provision of our services to our customers, we generally act as a "processor" or "service provider" (as such terms are understood under applicable privacy and data protection laws) for our customers, and we rely on our sub-processors to be compliant with applicable law. However, we cannot be certain that all customers will materially comply with their obligations as "controllers" or "businesses" under applicable privacy and data protection law. As "processors" or "service providers" we may be contractually liable to our customers if we fail to meet the terms of our data processing agreements. In addition, we may be subject to investigation or administrative fines from supervisory authorities or subject to individual claims that we failed to comply with the requirements of applicable privacy and data protection law or that we acted without or against the data

controller's lawful instructions. While we generally act as a "processor" or "service provider" in connection with our provision of services to our customers, we may be deemed a "controller" or "business" in certain instances by regulators or under evolving laws, which would increase our compliance burdens and liability (such as, for instance, in connection with our processing of data concerning our own employees and contractors, the employees and representatives of our customers and in connection with our direct business activities). In connection with our activities undertaken in connection with our role as a "controller" or "business," we are subject to more onerous obligations, the violation of which could cause us to be subject to fines, penalties, judgments, and other losses.

We strive to comply with applicable laws, policies, and legal obligations relating to privacy and data protection and are subject to the terms of our privacy policies and privacy-related obligations to third parties. However, these obligations may be interpreted and applied in new ways and/or in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. If we are unable to comply with law, policy or contractual obligations related to privacy and/or the processing of any personal information, we may be subject to lawsuits, class actions, mass arbitration demands, or governmental investigations, each of which could result in fines, penalties, settlements, judgments, injunctions, orders to destroy or not use personal information or AI models, or other losses. Any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy-related policies and/or obligations to customers, respondents, users or other third parties, our data disclosure and consent obligations or our privacy or security-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized disclosure, transfer or use of personal or other information, which may include personally identifiable information or other data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation or public statements critical of us by consumer advocacy groups, competitors, the media or others and could cause our users to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

***If we or our third-party service providers experience a cybersecurity incident or data breach or unauthorized parties otherwise obtain access to our customers' data, our data, or our platform, our platform or our products may be perceived as not being secure, our reputation may be harmed, demand for our platform and products may be reduced, and we may incur significant liabilities.***

Use of our platform involves the storage, transmission, and processing of our customers' proprietary data, including personal or identifying information of their customers or employees. Unauthorized disclosure of or access to or cybersecurity incidents, data breaches or other compromises of our platform could result in the loss of data, loss of business, severe reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, damage to our brand, diversion of management's attention, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, indemnity obligations, damages for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations, including regulatory fines, and significant costs for remediation that may include liability for stolen assets or information, ransom or extortion payments, and repair of system damage that may have been caused, incentives offered to customers or other business partners in an effort to maintain business relationships after a breach, and other liabilities. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant expenses to prevent cybersecurity incidents, data breaches and other compromises, including deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees, and engaging third-party experts and consultants. Even though we do not control the security measures of third parties who may have access to our customer data, our data, or our platform, we may be responsible for any cybersecurity incident or data breach impacting such measures or suffer reputational harm even where we do not have recourse to the third-party that caused the breach. In addition, any failure by our vendors to comply with applicable law or regulations could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities or others.

Cyberattacks, denial-of-service attacks, ransomware attacks, business email compromises, account compromises, computer malware, viruses, and social engineering (including phishing attacks) are prevalent in our industry and our customers' industries. In addition, we may experience cyberattacks, unavailable systems, unauthorized access to systems or data or disclosure due to wrongful conduct by insider employees or vendors, denial-of-service attacks, attacks from sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors, attacks enhanced or facilitated by AI, and advanced persistent threat intrusions. Electronic security attacks designed to gain access to personal, sensitive, or confidential data are

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

constantly evolving, and such attacks continue to grow in sophistication. Attempts to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to our and our third-party service providers' information systems from malicious third parties or insider threats may incorporate widely varying and frequently changing tactics, which may be enhanced or facilitated by AI. While we believe we have taken reasonable steps to protect our data, the techniques used to sabotage or to obtain unauthorized access to our platform, systems, networks, or physical facilities in which data is stored or through which data is transmitted change frequently, and we may be unable to implement adequate preventative measures or stop cybersecurity incidents, data breaches or other compromises while they are occurring. Like many other companies in our industry, we and our third-party vendors have previously been, and may in the future become, the target and victim of cyberattacks by third parties seeking unauthorized access to our or our customers' data or accounts or to disrupt our operations or ability to sell our products. Specifically, in July 2022, we were the victim of an attack whereby an unauthorized third-party compromised an employee's credentials and gained access to our internal systems, including email as well as some of our internal support tools, and, as a result, accessed certain information, including name, email address, and phone number, for a subset of our customers. Additionally, in October 2024, an unauthorized third-party gained access to company source code, as well as other system and application credentials.

We rely on third-party service providers and technologies to operate critical business systems to process confidential and personal information in a variety of contexts, including, without limitation, encryption and authentication technology, employee email, content delivery to customers, back-office support, and other functions. Our ability to monitor these third parties' cybersecurity practices is limited. These third-party providers and technologies may not have adequate measures in place, and could experience or cause a cybersecurity incident or data breach that compromises the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the systems or technologies they provide to us or the information they process on our behalf.

While we have taken steps designed to protect the proprietary, regulated, sensitive, confidential, and personal information in our control, our cybersecurity measures or those of the third parties on which we rely may not be effective against current or future security risks and threats. Cybercrime and hacking techniques are constantly evolving and a challenge of the modern global economy, and we or our third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate threats, detect or react in a timely manner, or implement adequate preventative measures, particularly given increasing use of hacking techniques designed to circumvent controls, avoid detection, and remove or obfuscate forensic artifacts. Moreover, we or our third-party service providers may be more vulnerable to such attacks in remote work environments.

We have contractual and legal obligations to notify relevant stakeholders of security breaches. Most jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals, regulatory authorities, and others of security incidents or data breaches involving certain types of data. Determining whether a cybersecurity incident is notifiable or reportable may not be straightforward, and we may voluntarily choose to provide notifications even when not legally required, increasing our costs and reputational exposure. In addition, our agreements with certain customers may require us to notify them in the event of a cybersecurity incident or compromise or data breach. Such mandatory disclosures are costly, could lead to negative publicity, may cause our customers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures, and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to or alleviate problems caused by the actual or perceived security incident or data breach and otherwise comply with the multitude of foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, personal information. Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our privacy and data security obligations.

If we or our third-party service providers suffer, or are perceived to have suffered, a data breach or other cybersecurity incident, we may experience a loss of customer confidence in the security of our platform and damage to our brand, reduced demand for our products and disruption of normal business operations. Such a circumstance may also require us to spend material resources to investigate, remediate or correct the issue and prevent recurrence, notify regulators, and affected stakeholders, expose us to legal liabilities, including class action lawsuits and mass arbitration demands, litigation, regulatory enforcement, indemnity obligations, fines, penalties, and bans on processing personal information, and

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. These risks are likely to increase as we continue to grow and process, store, and transmit increasingly large amounts of data. Additionally, as a result of a data breach, compromise or other cybersecurity incident, we could be subject to demands, claims, and litigation by private parties and investigations, related actions, and penalties by regulatory authorities.

We cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for data security liabilities actually incurred, will cover any indemnification claims against us relating to any incident or will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***A cybersecurity incident, data breach or other compromise may cause us to breach customer contracts. Our agreements with certain customers may require us to use industry-standard or reasonable measures to safeguard personal information or confidential information. A cybersecurity incident, data breach or other compromise could lead to claims by our customers, their end-users, or other relevant stakeholders that we have failed to comply with such legal or contractual obligations. As a result, we could be subject to legal action or our customers could end their relationships with us.***

Because data security is a critical competitive factor in our industry, we make numerous statements in our customer contracts, privacy policies, terms of service, security certifications, industry standards, and marketing materials, providing assurances about the security of our platform including detailed descriptions of security measures we employ. Should any of these statements be untrue or become untrue, or be perceived to be untrue, even in circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we may face claims of misrepresentation, unfair business practices, or deceptiveness by the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), state attorneys general, state, federal, and foreign regulators, and private litigants.

We enter into agreements with our customers regarding our collection, processing, use, and disclosure of personal, confidential, or sensitive information in relation to the products we sell to them. Although we endeavor to comply with these agreements and our security policies, we may at times fail to do so or may be perceived to have failed to do so, including due to the errors or omissions of our personnel, third-party service providers, or customers. If we fail to detect or remediate a cybersecurity incident, data breach or other compromise in a timely manner, or a cybersecurity incident, data breach or other compromise otherwise affects a large amount of data of one or more customers, or if we suffer a cyberattack that impacts our ability to operate our platform, we may suffer damage to our reputation and our brand, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. Our risks are likely to increase as we continue to expand our platform, grow our customer base, and process, store, and transmit increasingly large amounts of proprietary and sensitive data. Even if we eventually prevail in any such dispute, resolving them could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity, indemnity obligations, regulatory fines, and reputational harm that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***We are subject to stringent and changing laws and regulations related to privacy, data security, and data protection. The restrictions and costs imposed by these requirements, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with them, could harm our business.***

Our business and platform involves the collection, use, processing, storage, transfer, and sharing of personal information, including such information that we handle on behalf of our customers, as well as confidential information and other sensitive data. Our data processing activities are regulated by a variety of laws, regulations, and industry standards, which have become increasingly stringent in recent years, are rapidly evolving, and are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Increasingly, laws that regulate data processing activities are extra-territorial in their scope of application. The global nature of our customer base renders us particularly exposed to a wide range of such laws and their varying, potentially conflicting compliance obligations.

State legislatures also have been adopting new privacy laws or amending existing laws with increasing frequency, requiring attention to frequently changing regulatory requirements, and we expect that this trend will continue. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (the "CCPA") imposed a number of requirements on covered businesses and gave California residents certain rights related to their personal information, including the right to access and delete their personal information, to receive detailed information about how their personal information is used and shared, and to opt out of certain sharing of their personal information. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations of up to $7,500 for each intentional violation and created a private right of action for certain data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. In addition, the California Privacy Rights Act (the "CPRA"), which has been in effect since January 1, 2023, imposed additional obligations on companies covered by the CCPA. The CPRA significantly modified the CCPA, including by expanding consumers' rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information. Similar comprehensive privacy laws have been proposed and passed in numerous other states. These comprehensive privacy laws have entered into force in many states, and several more will be entering into force in the coming years. Such proposed legislation, if enacted, may add additional complexity, variation in requirements, restrictions, and potential legal risk, require additional investment of resources in compliance programs, impact strategies, and the availability of previously useful data and could result in increased compliance costs and/or changes in business practices and policies.

The existence of comprehensive privacy laws in different states in the country makes our compliance obligations more complex and costly and may increase the likelihood that we may be subject to enforcement actions or otherwise incur liability for noncompliance. In addition, other states have proposed and/or passed legislation that regulates the privacy and/or security of certain specific types of information. These various privacy and security laws may impact our business activities, including our relationships with business partners and ultimately the marketing and distribution of our products. State laws are changing rapidly and there is discussion in the U.S. Congress of a new comprehensive federal data privacy law to which we may likely become subject, if enacted.

Other federal laws impose general, broad requirements designed to protect the privacy and security of personally identifiable information. For example, according to the FTC, failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers' personal information secure constitutes unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45(a). In recent years, the FTC has paid increased attention to privacy and data security matters, and we expect them to continue to do so in the future. Further, through executive and legislative action, the federal government has also taken steps to restrict data transactions involving certain sensitive data categories, with persons affiliated with China, Russia, and other countries of concern.

Foreign privacy laws have become more stringent in recent years and may increase the costs and complexity of offering our platform and products in new and existing geographies. Outside of the United States, we are also subject to stringent privacy and data protection laws in many jurisdictions. For example, we are subject to the EU GDPR and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (the "UK GDPR," and collectively, the "GDPR"). The GDPR applies where we are collecting or otherwise processing personal data in connection with (a) the activities of a business establishment within the United Kingdom/European Economic Area; or (b) offering goods or services to or monitoring the behavior of individuals within the United Kingdom/European Economic Area, and imposes strict obligations regarding personal data processing activities. The GDPR is wide-ranging in scope and imposes numerous requirements on companies that process personal data, including requirements relating to having a legal basis or condition for processing personal data, stricter requirements relating to the processing of sensitive data, obtaining consent of the individuals to whom the personal data relates, providing information to individuals regarding data processing activities, implementing safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of personal data, providing notification of data breaches, requiring data protection impact assessments for high risk processing and taking certain measures when engaging third-party processors.

In order to transfer data outside of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom to a non-adequate country, including the United States in certain circumstances, the GDPR requires us to enter into an appropriate transfer mechanism and may require us to take additional steps to ensure an essentially equivalent level of data protection, including carrying

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

out a transfer impact assessment to assess whether the recipient is subject to local laws which allow a public authority access to personal data and assisting controllers with such assessments if we act as processors of personal data. These transfer mechanisms are subject to change, and implementing new or revised transfer mechanisms or ensuring an essentially equivalent protection may involve additional expense and potentially increased compliance risk. Such restrictions may increase our obligations in relation to carrying out international transfers of personal data and cause us to incur additional expense and increased regulatory liabilities. Any inability to transfer personal data from Europe to the United States in compliance with data protection laws may impede our operations and may adversely affect our business and financial position.

Despite Brexit, the UK GDPR remains largely aligned with EU GDPR. Currently, the most impactful point of divergence between the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR relates to these transfer mechanisms as explained above. There may be further divergence in the future, including with regard to application, interpretation, enforcement and administrative burdens. For example, the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (the "UK Act"), which supplements the UK GDPR, has recently come into force and introduces certain provisions that diverge from the EU GDPR. The European Commission has renewed the EU-UK adequacy decision for another six years after considering the entry into force of the UK Act, meaning the United Kingdom's data protection framework is still considered to provide "essentially equivalent" safeguards to the EU GDPR. While this renewal reduces immediate adequacy concerns, future divergence remains a possibility. The UK Act may have the effect of further altering the similarities between the United Kingdom and European Economic Area data protection regimes and threaten the United Kingdom's adequacy decision from the European Commission. Further divergence between the EU GDPR and UK GDPR could add legal risk, uncertainty, complexity, and cost to our handling of European personal data and our privacy and security compliance programs. We may no longer be able to take a unified approach across the EU and the United Kingdom, and we will need to amend our processes and procedures to align with such divergence. In addition, European Economic Area Member States have adopted national laws to implement the EU GDPR that may partially deviate from the EU GDPR and competent authorities in the Member States may interpret the EU GDPR obligations slightly differently from country to country. Therefore, we do not expect to operate in a uniform legal landscape in the European Economic Area.

Companies that violate the GDPR can face robust regulatory enforcement and greater penalties for noncompliance, including fines of up to €20 million (or £17.5 million under the UK GDPR) or 4% of their worldwide annual turnover, whichever is greater. A wide variety of other potential enforcement powers are available to competent supervisory authorities in respect of potential and suspected violations of the GDPR, including audit and inspection rights, and powers to order temporary or permanent bans on all or some processing activities. The GDPR also confers a private right of action on data subjects and consumer associations to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities, seek judicial remedies, and obtain compensation for damages resulting from violations of the GDPR.

In addition to the GDPR, other European data protection laws require that affirmative opt-in consent is procured to the placement of cookies and similar tracking technologies on users' devices (other than those that are "strictly necessary" to provide services requested by the user). These requirements may increase our exposure to regulatory enforcement actions, increase our compliance costs and reduce demand for our platform.

In Canada, our collection, use, disclosure, and management of personal information must comply with both federal and provincial privacy laws, which impose separate requirements, but may overlap in some instances. The federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and various provincial laws impose strict requirements on companies that handle personal information. Notably, Québec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector was amended by Law 25 (formerly Bill 64), imposing significant and stringent obligations on businesses operating in Québec and increasing the powers of Québec's supervisory authority. We may incur additional costs and expenses related to compliance with these laws and may incur significant liability if we are not able to comply with existing and emerging legal requirements in Canada.

Apart from the requirements of privacy and data security laws, we have obligations relating to privacy and data security under our published policies and documentation and certain of our contracts. Although we endeavor to comply with these obligations, we may have failed to do so in the past and may be subject to allegations that we have failed to do so or have otherwise processed data improperly. Such failures or alleged failures could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities, private parties or others as well as negative publicity and reputational damage.

Compliance with applicable privacy, data security or data protection requirements, many of which vary across jurisdictions, is a rigorous and time-intensive process, and we may be required to implement costly mechanisms to ensure compliance. The proliferation of privacy, data security, and data protection laws, regulations, policies, and standards increases the likelihood of differences in approaches across jurisdictions. These differences make it difficult to maintain a standardized global privacy program. Creating jurisdiction-specific approaches requires significant time and resources and the associated complexity increases the risk of potential non-compliance. In addition, such requirements may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies, utilize management's time and/or divert resources from other initiatives and projects.

Our customers may implement compliance measures that do not align with our platform and products, which could limit the scope and type of platform and products we are able to provide. Our customers may also require us to comply with additional privacy and security obligations, causing us to incur potential disruption and expense related to our business processes. We may also be exposed to certain compliance and/or reputational risks if our customers do not comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws and/or their own privacy notices and terms of use in particular in connection with their processing of personal data, their sharing of personal data with us, the legal bases on which they rely (where applicable) under applicable privacy and data protection legislation for the processing we carry out on their behalf and/or their management of data subject requests which pertain to the processing we carry out on their behalf. In addition, we may decide not to enter into new geographic markets where we determine that compliance with such laws, regulations, policies, and standards would be prohibitively costly or difficult. Geographic markets in which we currently operate could require us to process or store regulated information within such markets only, and establishing hosting facilities in such markets could be disruptive to our business and costly. If our policies and practices, or those of our customers, service providers, contractors and/or partners, are, or are perceived to be non-compliant, we could face (1) litigation, investigations, audits, inspections, and proceedings brought by governmental entities, customers, individuals or others, (2) additional reporting requirements and/or oversight, temporary or permanent bans on all or some processing of personal data, orders to destroy or not use personal data and imprisonment of company officials, (3) fines and civil or criminal penalties for us or company officials, obligations to cease offering or to substantially modify our solutions in ways that make them less effective in certain jurisdictions, and (4) negative publicity, harm to our brand and reputation and reduced overall demand for our platform. These occurrences could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

All of these evolving compliance and operational requirements impose significant costs, such as costs related to organizational changes, implementing additional protection technologies, training employees and engaging consultants and legal advisors, which are likely to increase over time. In addition, such requirements may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies, utilize management's time and/or divert resources from other initiatives and projects. Because the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws, regulations, rules, and other standards are still uncertain and likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, it is possible that these laws, rules, regulations, and other obligations, such as contractual or self-regulatory obligations, may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data management practices or the features of our software. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits, and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our software, which we may be unable to do in a commercially reasonable manner or at all, and which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any inability to adequately address privacy concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, rules, regulations, and other obligations, could result in additional cost and

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We are subject to new and evolving data processing and interoperability regulations, which may increase our compliance obligations and operational complexity.***

In addition to privacy and data protection laws such as the GDPR, we are subject to emerging regulatory frameworks in the EU that govern broader aspects of personal and non-personal data use, access, and portability. Notably, Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 (the "EU Data Act"), which entered into force across the EU on September 12, 2025, introduces obligations for providers of cloud, edge, infrastructure and software-based data processing services. These include prescriptive requirements relating to a mandatory right for customers to switch between providers offering the same type of service, data portability, functional equivalence, interoperability, and enhanced contractual transparency. The EU Data Act applies extraterritorially and may require us to make changes to our customer agreements or technical processes when offering services to customers in the EU. Contractual requirements under the EU Data Act may also affect our ability to enforce minimum commitment periods, early termination penalties, or other commercial arrangements designed to reduce churn or secure predictable recurring revenue. As a result, we may be required to revise our customer contracts and pricing models, and implement new switching procedures. Non-compliance may result in enforcement action, reputational damage, or increased legal risk.

***Federal, state, and foreign laws that regulate the senders of commercial emails and text messages could adversely affect our ability to provide our products and impact our results from operations or result in costs and fines.***

Our business offerings rely heavily on a variety of direct marketing techniques, including email marketing and marketing conducted via text message. These activities are regulated by legislation such as CAN-SPAM and the TCPA as well as state laws regulating marketing via telecommunication services.

The CAN-SPAM Act, among other things, obligates the sender of commercial emails to provide recipients with the ability to opt out of receiving future commercial emails from the sender. The ability of our customers' message recipients to opt out of receiving commercial emails may minimize the effectiveness of the email components of our platform. In addition, certain states, and foreign jurisdictions, such as Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the EU, have enacted laws that regulate sending email, and some of these laws are more restrictive than U.S. laws. For example, some foreign laws prohibit sending unsolicited email unless the recipient has provided the sender advance consent to receipt of such email, or in other words has "opted-in" to receiving it. A requirement that recipients opt into, or the ability of recipients to opt out of, receiving commercial emails may minimize the effectiveness of our platform. Any failure by us or our customers to comply fully with the CAN-SPAM Act may leave us subject to substantial fines and penalties.

Foreign privacy laws also regulate our and our customers' ability to send commercial messages via email. For example, Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation ("CASL") prohibits email marketing without the recipient's consent, with limited exceptions. Failure to comply with CASL could result in significant fines and penalties or possible damage awards.

We also face stringent regulation in connection with our use of telecommunication services for the transmission of marketing messages. The TCPA is a federal statute that protects consumers from unwanted telephone calls, faxes, and text messages. TCPA violations can result in significant financial penalties as a business can incur civil forfeiture penalties or criminal fines imposed by the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") or be fined for each violation through private litigation or state attorneys general or other state actor enforcement. Class action suits are the most common method for private enforcement. Our text messaging product is a potential source of risk for class-action lawsuits and liability for our company. Numerous class-action suits under federal and state laws have been filed in recent years against companies who conduct call and text messaging programs, with many resulting in multi-million-dollar settlements to the plaintiffs. While we strive to adhere to strict policies and procedures, the FCC, as the agency that implements and enforces the TCPA, may determine that our efforts to address the TCPA are insufficient and may subject us to penalties and other consequences

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

for noncompliance. Determination by a court or regulatory agency that our platform or our products violate the TCPA could subject us to civil penalties, could invalidate all or portions of some of our client contracts, could require us to change or terminate some portions of our business, could require us to refund portions of our service fees, and could have an adverse effect on our business. Further, we could be subject to class action lawsuits for any claimed TCPA violations. Even an unsuccessful challenge by consumers or regulatory authorities of our activities could result in adverse publicity and could require a costly response from us. Additionally, the scope of the TCPA is frequently under review and future regulations interpreting the TCPA may impose new limitations on our or our customers' ability to send commercial messages via telephone calls, faxes, and text messages. Further, some states have enacted laws similar to, or broader than, the TCPA, which may be an additional source of potential claims or liability. These laws may impose broader obligations than the TCPA upon companies that use telephone calls or text messages for commercial communications. Additional U.S. states, such as Michigan, have proposed legislation that will further regulate commercial telephone marketing, and other states may adopt similar laws, which could further limit our customers' ability to use our services or expose us to currently unforeseen liability.

In addition, any future restrictions in laws such as CAN-SPAM, the TCPA, and various United States state laws, or new federal laws regarding marketing and solicitation or international data protection laws that govern these activities could adversely affect the continuing effectiveness of our marketing efforts and could force changes in our marketing strategies. If this occurs, we may not be able to develop adequate alternative marketing strategies, which could impact the amount and timing of our revenues.

***If our platform fails to function in a manner that allows our customers to operate in compliance with regulations and/or industry standards, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.***

Since our customers are able to upload data into our platform, we may host or otherwise process substantial amounts of personally identifiable information. Some of our customers may require our platform to comply with certain privacy, security, and other certifications and standards. Our cloud-based platform holds various security certifications from industry organizations, designed to meet, in all material respects, the International Organization for Standardization 27001 ("ISO 27001") standards. Governments and industry organizations may also adopt new laws, regulations or requirements, or make changes to existing laws or regulations or their interpretations, that could impact the demand for, or value of, our applications. Complying with these evolving obligations could require us to divert significant engineering and management resources. If we fail to maintain our current security certifications and/or to continue to meet security standards, or if we are unable to adapt our platform to changing legal and regulatory standards or other requirements in a timely manner, or if we are perceived to have failed to do so, our customers may lose confidence in our platform, our sales cycles could be prolonged, and our revenue, business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***We could face liability, or our reputation might be harmed, as a result of the activities of our customers, the content sent through our platform (including AI-generated content) or the data they store on our servers.***

We may be subject to potential liability for the activities of our customers on, or in connection with the content or data they store on or send through, our platform. Although our customer terms of use and our acceptable use policy ("AUP") prohibit, among other things, (1) illegal use of our platform and our products by our customers, (2) the use of our products for certain activities that do not comply with industry standards and guidelines outlined in our AUP, and (3) the use of our products in any manner that would infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of third parties, customers may nonetheless engage in prohibited activities or upload or store content with us in violation of our terms of use, our AUP, applicable law or the customer's own policies, which could subject us to liability and/or harm our reputation.

We do not have a process in place to systematically and comprehensively monitor the content, activities, or messages of our customers in connection with their use of our services, so inappropriate content may be sent to third parties, which could subject us to legal liability. Even if we comply with legal obligations to remove or disable certain content, our

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

customers may continue to send messages through our platform that third parties may find hostile, offensive, or inappropriate. The activities of our customers or the content of our customers' messages may lead us to experience adverse political, business, and reputational consequences, especially if such use is high profile. Conversely, actions we take in response to the activities of our customers or users, up to and including suspending their use of our platform or products, may harm our brand and reputation.

There are certain statutory and common law frameworks and doctrines that offer defenses against liability for customer activities, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Communications Decency Act, the fair use doctrine in the United States and the Electronic Commerce Directive in the EU. Although these and other statutes and case law in the United States offer certain defenses against liability from customer activities under U.S. copyright law or regarding secondary liability from the TCPA or CAN-SPAM, they are subject to uncertain or evolving judicial interpretation and regulatory and legislative amendments, and in any event we cannot assure you that we will be successful in asserting them. In addition, pending or recently adopted legislation in the EU may impose additional obligations or liability on us associated with content uploaded by users to our platform. Laws governing these activities are unsettled in many international jurisdictions, or may prove difficult or impossible for us to comply with in some international jurisdictions. Even if ultimately resolved in our favor, we may become involved in related complaints, lawsuits or investigations which add cost to our doing business and may divert management's time and attention or otherwise harm our reputation.

***The standards that private entities and inbox service providers use to regulate and filter the use and delivery of email may interfere with the effectiveness of our platform and our ability to conduct business.***

Many of our customers rely on email to communicate with their existing or prospective customers. Various private entities attempt to regulate the use of email for commercial solicitation. These entities often advocate standards of conduct or practice that significantly exceed current legal requirements and classify certain email solicitations that comply with current legal requirements as spam. Some of these entities maintain "blacklists" of companies and individuals, and the websites, inbox service providers, and IP addresses associated with those entities or individuals that do not adhere to those standards of conduct or practices for commercial email solicitations that the blacklisting entity believes are appropriate. If a company's IP addresses are listed by a blacklisting entity, emails sent from those addresses may be blocked if they are sent to any internet domain or internet address that subscribes to the blacklisting entity's service or uses its blacklist.

From time to time, some of our IP addresses have become, and we expect will continue to be, listed with one or more blacklisting entities due to the messaging practices of our customers and other users. We may be at an increased risk of having our IP addresses blacklisted due to our scale and volume of email processed compared to our smaller competitors. While the overall percentage of such email solicitations that our individual customers send may be at or below reasonable standards, the total aggregate number of all emails that we process on behalf of our customers may trigger increased scrutiny from these blacklisting entities. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to successfully remove ourselves from those lists. Because we fulfill email delivery on behalf of our customers, blacklisting of this type could undermine the effectiveness of our customers' transactional emails, email marketing programs, and other email communications, and could result in a decline in click through rates, all of which could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Some inbox service providers categorize emails that originate from email marketing platforms as "promotional" and, as a result, direct them to an alternate or "tabbed" section of the recipient's inbox. Additionally, inbox service providers can block emails from reaching their users. While we continually improve our own technology and work closely with inbox service providers and our customers to maintain our deliverability rates, the implementation of new or more restrictive policies by inbox service providers may make it more difficult to deliver our customers' emails, particularly if we or our customers are not given adequate notice of a change in policy or struggle to update our platform or products to comply with the changed policy in a reasonable amount of time. For example, in October 2023, Google and Yahoo announced new email sender requirements that impact customers of email marketing platforms, including our platform. Since February 2024, Google and Yahoo have required bulk senders to authenticate their emails following certain industry standard

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

authentication systems, enable recipients to easily unsubscribe, and ensure they only send wanted emails and stay under a certain spam rate threshold. As inbox service providers increasingly utilize AI and machine learning to manage inbox filtering, our ability to predict deliverability or optimize for these algorithms may be diminished. Our customers that fail to comply with these new requirements may have their emails blocked from reaching their customers by Google or Yahoo and may not be able to effectively use our platform. If we or our customers fail to comply with new inbox service provider requirements, if inbox service providers materially limit or halt the delivery of our customers' emails, if we fail to deliver our customers' emails in a manner compatible with inbox service providers' email handling or authentication technologies or other policies, if the open, unsubscribe, spam rates, or other engagement metrics of our customers' emails or the functionality of our platform are negatively impacted by the actions of inbox service providers to categorize or block emails or new policies or requirements imposed by inbox service providers, or if our customers send fewer emails or send emails to or maintain fewer profiles on our platform as a result of new inbox service provider requirements, then customers may question the effectiveness of our platform and downgrade or cancel their subscriptions. This could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**Risks Relating to Our Intellectual Property**

***Any failure to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

To be successful, we must protect our technology and brand in the United States and other jurisdictions through trademarks, trade secrets, patents, copyrights, service marks, invention assignments, contractual restrictions, and other intellectual property rights and confidentiality procedures. Despite our efforts to implement these protections, these measures may not protect our business or provide us with a competitive advantage for a variety of reasons, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our failure to obtain patents and other intellectual property rights for important innovations or maintain appropriate confidentiality and other protective measures to establish and maintain our trade secrets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• uncertainty in, and evolution of, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability, and scope of protection of intellectual property rights;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential invalidation of our intellectual property rights through administrative processes or litigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any inability by us to detect infringement or other misappropriation of our intellectual property rights by third parties; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other practical, resource, or business limitations on our ability to enforce our rights.

Further, the laws of certain foreign countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not provide the same level of protection of corporate proprietary information and assets, such as intellectual property (including, for example, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights), know-how, and records, as the laws of the United States. Policing unauthorized use of our technologies, trade secrets, and intellectual property may be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States and where mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be weak. As a result, we may encounter significant problems in protecting and defending our intellectual property or proprietary rights in foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, we may also be exposed to material risks of theft or unauthorized reverse engineering of our proprietary information and intellectual property, including technical data, data sets, or other sensitive information. Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights in such foreign countries may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and enter into confidentiality agreements with the parties with whom we have strategic relationships and business alliances. No assurance

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

can be given that these agreements will be effective in controlling access to and protecting our proprietary and intellectual property rights in our products, technology, and proprietary information. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. Further, these agreements may not prevent our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our platform and offerings.

Further, litigation may be necessary to enforce and protect our intellectual property or proprietary rights, or determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights claimed by others. Any litigation, whether or not resolved in our favor, could result in significant expense to us, divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel and result in counterclaims, including with respect to infringement of intellectual property rights by us. If we are unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property or are required to incur substantial expenses defending our intellectual property rights, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

***In the future we may be party to intellectual property rights claims, disputes, and other litigation brought by others which are expensive to support, and if resolved adversely, could have a significant impact on us.***

We compete in markets where there are a large number of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property and proprietary rights, as well as disputes regarding infringement of these rights. Many of the holders of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property and proprietary rights have extensive intellectual property portfolios and greater resources than we do to enforce their rights. As compared to our larger competitors, our patent portfolio is relatively undeveloped and may not provide a material deterrent to such assertions or provide us with a strong basis to counterclaim or negotiate settlements. Further, to the extent assertions are made against us by entities that hold patents but are not operating companies, our patent portfolio may not provide deterrence because such entities are not concerned with counterclaims.

Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, that we may become involved with may require us to do one or more of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cease selling, licensing, or using products or features that incorporate the intellectual property rights that we allegedly infringe upon, misappropriate, or violate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make substantial payments for legal fees, settlement payments, subscription fee refunds, or other costs or damages, including indemnification of third parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obtain a license or enter into a royalty agreement, either of which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, in order to obtain the right to sell, offer to sell, import, make or use the relevant intellectual property; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• redesign certain portions of the allegedly infringing products to avoid infringement, misappropriation, or violation, which could be costly, time-consuming, or impossible.

Intellectual property infringement claims, with or without merit, are typically complex, time consuming, and expensive to resolve and would divert the time and attention of our management and technical personnel. These claims could also subject us to significant liability for damages, including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed third-party patents, and may trigger substantial indemnification obligations to our customers. It may enjoin us from continuing to use certain features or portions of allegedly infringing products or even the allegedly infringing products themselves. It may also result in adverse publicity, which could harm our reputation and ability to attract or retain customers or otherwise prevent us from competing effectively in the market. As we grow and our profile increases, we may experience a heightened risk of allegations of intellectual property infringement. An adverse result in any litigation claims against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our use of open source software could negatively affect our ability to sell our products and subject us to possible litigation.***

We use open source software in our products, and we expect to continue to incorporate open source software in our products in the future, including in our AI and machine learning initiatives. Few of the licenses applicable to open source software have been interpreted by courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our products or to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary source code. Moreover, we may encounter instances in which we have incorporated additional open source software in our proprietary software in a manner that is inconsistent with the terms of the applicable license or our current policies and procedures. While we have adopted guidelines for the appropriate use of, and regularly audit our use of, open source software, these measures may not always be effective. If we were to combine or link our proprietary software products with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain open source licenses, be required to release the source code of our proprietary software products and allow others to use it at no cost, which could allow our competitors to create similar products with lower development effort and time and ultimately result in a loss of our product sales. If an author or other third party that distributes such open source software were to allege that we had not complied with the conditions of one or more of these licenses, we could be required to incur significant legal expenses defending against such allegations and could be subject to significant damages, enjoined from the sale of our products that contained the open source software, and required to comply with onerous conditions or restrictions on these products, which could disrupt the distribution and sale of these products or put our proprietary source code at risk.

From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership rights in open source software against companies that incorporate it into their products and the licensors of such open source software provide no warranties or indemnities with respect to such claims. As a result, we and our customers could be subject to lawsuits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Litigation could be costly for us to defend, have a negative effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our products. Some open source projects have known and unknown vulnerabilities, architectural instabilities, or malicious code and are provided on an "as-is" basis which, if not properly addressed, could negatively affect the performance and security of our platform. Use of open source software may also expose us to greater risks of supply chain attacks, as hackers may exploit vulnerabilities in widely used open source libraries to access our systems. Additionally, we rely on the continued maintenance of these open source projects by third parties, who may stop supporting them. If we inappropriately use or incorporate open source software subject to certain types of open source licenses that challenge the proprietary nature of our platform, we may be required to re-engineer our platform, discontinue the sale of affected products, or take other remedial actions, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our use of AI technology and the integration of AI technology with our products and services may subject us to increased risk, including security and other risks to our confidential and/or proprietary information, given the evolving nature of AI technology.***

We have incorporated, and expect to continue to incorporate, AI technology into our products and services, including our Marketing, Service, and Analytics offerings and our Reviews add-on, and this incorporation of AI technology in our business and operations may become more significant over time. Generative AI and autonomous AI agents can produce content, analyses, or recommendations with limited or no human intervention, and may take or suggest actions based on incomplete or inaccurate data, AI hallucinations, or flawed training inputs, which may expose us to additional risk, such as damage to our reputation, competitive position, additional costs, and other business, legal and regulatory risks. For example, certain generative AI technology use machine learning and other predictive analysis techniques, which can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading content, unintended biases, and other discriminatory or unexpected results, errors or inadequacies, any of which may not be easily detectable by us or any of our related service providers. Additionally, our AI models and agents may be subject to adversarial attacks, such as prompt injection or data poisoning, where third parties manipulate inputs to generate malicious or unauthorized outputs. Accordingly, while these AI-powered

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

applications may help provide more tailored or personalized user experiences, if the content, analyses, or recommendations produced by AI-powered applications are, or are perceived to be, deficient, inaccurate, biased, unethical or otherwise flawed, our reputation, competitive position, and business may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, we may adopt and deploy autonomous AI agents as part of product offerings to customers and for our own internal business operations. These autonomous AI agents may operate with limited human oversight and can produce inaccurate, biased, or otherwise unintended results that are not easily detectable or correctable. As such agents perform or automate customer engagement or other decision-making functions, their actions could generate or disseminate false, misleading, or inappropriate content, or otherwise result in conduct inconsistent with customer expectations or applicable laws. If the outputs or actions of our AI agents are, or are perceived to be, flawed, unethical, or unreliable, our reputation, customer relationships, and competitive position could be adversely affected.

In addition, new laws and regulations, or the interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in any of the jurisdictions in which we operate may affect our use of AI technology and expose us to government enforcement or civil lawsuits. For example, states such as California, Colorado, and Utah have recently passed laws regulating the use of AI technology, which impose additional operational burdens and may require us to modify our products and services that utilize AI technology in order to comply with these laws. Federal regulators have also issued guidance affecting the use of AI technology in regulated sectors. The Trump Administration has endorsed a federal moratorium on the enforcement of certain state AI laws, including through a December 11, 2025 executive order on "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence." To date, these efforts have not resulted in federal preemption of state action on AI regulation, contributing to a complicated legislative patchwork, which may be litigated in state and federal courts. In addition, the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act ("AI Act"), the world's first comprehensive AI law, entered into force on August 1, 2024, and most provisions of the legislation are scheduled to become effective on August 2, 2026. The AI Act, which may be amended or further clarified as part of the EU's Digital Omnibus or related legislative initiatives, imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of certain high-risk AI systems and encourages providers and deployers of AI systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. We expect these legislative trends to continue, and we may be required to devote significant attention and resources to address the frequently changing regulatory requirements, including by ensuring higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, as well as adhering to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements. As the legal and regulatory framework relating to the use of AI technology continues to change, there may be an increase in our operational and development expenses that could impact our ability to earn revenue from or utilize certain AI technology.

Furthermore, the use of AI technology has resulted in, and may result in, an increase in our risk with respect to intellectual property rights, privacy rights, cybersecurity incidents, and publicity rights, including as it relates to personal data that we have in our possession or process on behalf of our customers. Certain output produced by us using AI technology may not be subject to patent or copyright protection, which may adversely affect our intellectual property rights in, or ability to commercialize or use, any such output. In addition, output produced by AI technology may include information subject to certain privacy or rights of publicity laws or constitute an unauthorized derivative work of copyrighted material used in training the underlying AI technology, any of which could create a risk of liability for us, or adversely affect our business or operations. To the extent that we do not have sufficient rights to use the data or other material or content used in or produced by the AI technology used in our business, or if we experience cybersecurity incidents in connection with our use of AI technology, it could adversely affect our reputation and expose us to legal liability or regulatory risk, including with respect to third-party intellectual property rights, privacy, publicity, contractual or other rights.

As the use of AI technology becomes more prevalent, we anticipate that it will continue to present new or unanticipated legal, reputational, technical, operational, ethical, competitive, and regulatory issues. We expect that our incorporation of AI technology in our business will require additional resources, including the incurrence of additional costs, to develop and maintain our products, services, and features to minimize potentially harmful, unintended or other

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

adverse consequences, to comply with existing and new laws and regulations, to maintain or extend our competitive position, and to address any legal, reputational, technical, operational, ethical, competitive, and regulatory issues that may arise as a result of any of the foregoing. Our vendors may also incorporate AI technology tools into their offerings, and the providers of these AI technology tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to privacy and data security. Bad actors around the world are also using increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of AI technology, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information and intellectual property. Finally, our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI technology into their products more quickly or more successfully than us, which could impair our ability to compete effectively. As a result, the challenges presented with our use of AI technology may result in the loss of valuable property and information, cause us to breach applicable laws and regulations, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Series A Common Stock**

***Our IPO occurred in September 2023. As such, there has only been a public market for our Series A common stock for a short period of time. The trading price of our Series A common stock may continue to be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price at which you purchased those shares.***

The market prices of the securities of other newly public companies have historically been highly volatile and markets in general have been highly volatile in light of macro-economic trends. Additionally, we have a relatively small public float due to the relatively small size of our initial public offering ("IPO"), and the concentrated ownership of our common stock among our executive officers, directors, and greater than 5% stockholders. As a result of our small public float, our Series A common stock may be less liquid and have greater stock price volatility than the common stock of companies with broader public ownership. The trading price of our Series A common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• overall performance of the equity markets and/or publicly-listed technology companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue or other operating metrics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our actual or anticipated operating performance and the operating performance of our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in those projections, or our failure to meet those projections;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our company, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet the estimates or the expectations of securities analysts or investors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the economy as a whole and market conditions in our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations; new products, services, or capabilities; acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or investments; joint ventures; or capital commitments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business, including those related to privacy and cybersecurity in the United States or globally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lawsuits threatened or filed against us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual or perceived privacy or data security incidents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• announced or completed acquisitions of businesses, products, services, or technologies by us or our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations, or principles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any major change in our board of directors, management, or key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other events or factors, including those resulting from war (including the Russia-Ukraine conflict), incidents of terrorism, public health crises, government shutdowns, tariffs, trade wars or trade conflicts, or elections and administration changes, or responses to these events; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales of additional shares of our Series A common stock by us or our directors, officers and principal stockholders.

In addition, stock markets, and the market for technology companies in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. Often, trading prices of many companies have fluctuated in ways unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, stockholders of these companies have filed securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Moreover, because of these fluctuations, comparing our results of operations on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. This variability and unpredictability could also result in our failing to meet the expectations of industry or financial analysts or investors for any period. If our revenue or results of operations fall below the expectations of analysts or investors or below any guidance or forecasts we may provide to the market, or if the guidance or forecasts we provide to the market are below the expectations of analysts or investors or are subsequently adjusted, the trading price of our Series A common stock could decline substantially. Such a trading price decline could occur even when we have met any previously publicly stated revenue or earnings forecasts that we may provide.

***The dual series structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders who hold shares of our Series B common stock, including our directors, executive officers, and their respective affiliates, and limiting or precluding your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval, and that may depress the trading price of our Series A common stock.***

Our Series B common stock has ten votes per share, and our Series A common stock has one vote per share. Our directors, executive officers, and their affiliates, beneficially own in the aggregate 65.1% of the voting power of our capital stock as of December 31, 2025. Our co-founders, Andrew Bialecki and Ed Hallen, beneficially own 48.9% and 20.0%, respectively, of our Series B common stock and together 68.9% of our Series B common stock as of December 31, 2025. As such, our co-founders individually or together hold significant influence and control over matters requiring the vote of our stockholders including the sale, merger or acquisition of our company. Because of the ten-to-one voting ratio between our Series B and Series A common stock, the holders of our Series B common stock collectively continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock and therefore are able to continue to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval until the seventh anniversary of our IPO, when all outstanding shares of our Series A common stock and Series B common stock will convert automatically into shares of a single series of common stock, or until they no longer hold a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock. The holders of our Series B common stock may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval. In addition, this concentrated control may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

offers for our capital stock that you may believe are in your best interest as one of our stockholders, and could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company.

Future transfers by holders of Series B common stock will generally result in those shares converting to Series A common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers effected for estate planning purposes. The conversion of Series B common stock to Series A common stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of Series B common stock who retain their shares in the long term. As a result, it is possible that one or more of the persons or entities holding our Series B common stock could gain significant voting control as other holders of Series B common stock sell or otherwise convert their shares into Series A common stock.

***We cannot predict the effect our dual series structure may have on the trading price of our Series A common stock.***

We cannot predict whether our dual series structure will result in a lower or more volatile trading price of our Series A common stock, adverse publicity, or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced restrictions affecting companies with multiple-class or series share structures in certain of their indices. In July 2017, FTSE Russell announced that it would require new constituents of its indices to have greater than 5% of a company's voting rights in the hands of public stockholders. Under this policy, the dual series structure of our common stock could make us ineligible for inclusion in certain indices and, as a result, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track those indices may not invest in our Series A common stock. These policies are relatively new and it is unclear what effect, if any, they will have or continue to have on the valuations of publicly traded companies excluded from such indices, but it is possible that they may depress valuations, as compared to similar companies that are included. Because of the dual series structure of our common stock, we may be excluded from certain indices, and other stock indices may take similar actions. Given the sustained flow of investment funds into passive strategies that seek to track certain indices, exclusion from certain stock indices could preclude investment by many of these funds and could make our Series A common stock less attractive to other investors. In addition, several stockholder advisory firms and large institutional investors oppose the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual series structure of our common stock may cause stockholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our governance practice or capital structure, and may result in large institutional investors not purchasing shares of our Series A common stock. As a result, the trading price of our Series A common stock could be adversely affected.

***If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, the trading price of our Series A common stock and trading volume could be adversely affected.***

The trading market for our Series A common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. The market price and trading volume of our Series A common stock may be heavily influenced by the way analysts interpret our financial information and other disclosures, which is outside of our control. If few securities analysts cover us, or if industry analysts cease coverage of us, the trading price for our Series A common stock could be negatively affected. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our Series A common stock, change their opinion of our Series A common stock, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or if our financial results fail to meet or exceed our announced guidance or the expectations of analysts or public investors, our Series A common stock trading price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us on a regular basis, demand for our Series A common stock could decrease, potentially causing our Series A common stock trading price and trading volume to decline.

***Sales of substantial amounts of our Series A common stock in the public markets, or the perception that sales might occur, could cause the trading price of our Series A common stock to decline.***

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Series A common stock into the public market, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers, and principal stockholders, or the perception that these sales might occur, could cause the

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

trading price of our Series A common stock to decline and may make it more difficult for you to sell your shares of our Series A common stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate. For example, on May 16, 2025, our co-founder, co-CEO, director and largest stockholder, Andrew Bialecki, sold 10,969,078 shares of our Series A common stock in a registered secondary offering to cover tax obligations related to the exercise of his expiring stock options. If Mr. Bialecki or any of our other directors, executive officers or principal stockholders were to sell a substantial portion of shares of our Series A common stock in the public market, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions, the trading price of our Series A common stock could decline. While shares held by directors, executive officers, and other affiliates are subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and various vesting agreements, we are unable to predict the timing of or the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Series A common stock.

In addition, as of December 31, 2025, we had 2,225,979 options outstanding that, if fully exercised, would result in the issuance of an equal number of shares of Series B common stock, as well as 1,410,231 shares of Series B common stock and 13,140,224 shares of Series A common stock subject to outstanding RSU awards. Shares of Series B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Series A common stock upon certain transfers and other events. All of the shares of Series B common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting of RSU awards and the shares reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans have been registered on a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act. Accordingly, following conversion to shares of Series A common stock, these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 for our executive officers and directors and applicable vesting requirements. The market price of our Series A common stock could also be adversely affected by the vesting and settlement of RSUs and the exercise of stock options, which may result in the sale of a significant number of shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations (commonly referred to as "sell-to-cover" transactions), creating short-term selling pressure.

***Our issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plans, or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders and could negatively affect our results of operations.***

We expect to issue additional capital stock in the future that will result in dilution to all other stockholders. We expect to grant equity awards to employees, directors, consultants, and advisors under our stock incentive plans. We may also raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of our business strategy, we may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause stockholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our Series A common stock to decline. Any additional grants of equity awards under our stock incentive plans will also increase stock-based compensation expense and negatively affect our results of operations. Stock-based compensation is impacted by our future hiring and retention needs, which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, stock-based compensation expense recognized for RSUs was $160.6 million. As a public company, our RSUs are currently only subject to service-based vesting, and accordingly we expect to continue to incur stock-based compensation expense as these RSUs vest.

***We do not intend to pay dividends on our Series A common stock in the foreseeable future and, consequently, the ability of Series A common stockholders to achieve a return on investment will depend on appreciation in the trading price of our Series A common stock.***

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the operation of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their Series A common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.

***Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.***

Market estimates and growth forecasts are uncertain and based on internal assumptions and estimates that may be inaccurate and have not been independently verified. The size of our addressable market depends on a number of factors, including the desire of businesses to differentiate themselves through digital customer engagement, partnership opportunities, changes in the competitive landscape, technological changes (including the adoption of AI), data security and privacy concerns, customer budgetary constraints, changes in business practices, changes in the regulatory environment, and changes in economic conditions. Our estimates and forecasts relating to the size and expected growth of our market may prove to be inaccurate. Our market opportunity estimates also assume that our customers will adopt our new products, such as AI features, and expand their usage into new use cases. If these assumptions prove incorrect, our addressable market may be materially smaller than we have estimated. Even if the market in which we compete meets the size estimates and growth rates we forecast, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all, which could cause the trading price of our Series A common stock to decline or be volatile.

***Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current board of directors, and limit the trading price of our Series A common stock.***

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include provisions that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide that our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors with staggered three-year terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• permit our board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill any vacancies and newly-created directorships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• require super-majority voting to amend our amended and restated bylaws; provided, however, that majority voting is required to amend our amended and restated bylaws if our board of directors recommends that the stockholders approve such amendment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that our board of directors could use to implement a stockholder rights plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• after the date that the outstanding shares of Series B common stock no longer represent a majority of the combined voting power of our Series A and Series B common stock (the "Voting Threshold Date"), prohibit stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• until the Voting Threshold Date, our stockholders are able to act by written consent only if the action is first recommended or approved by our board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide that only our board of directors is authorized to call a special meeting of stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide for a dual series common stock structure where holders of our Series B common stock are able to control the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, even if they own significantly less than a majority of the outstanding shares of our Series A and Series B common stock, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide that our board of directors is expressly authorized to alter or repeal our amended and restated bylaws; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• contain advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at annual stockholder meetings.

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

Moreover, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company. Section 203 imposes certain restrictions on mergers, business combinations, and other transactions between us and holders of 15% or more of our common stock.

***Our amended and restated bylaws designate specific courts as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could potentially limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us and may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and employees.***

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for any state law claims for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, other employees, or stockholders to us or our stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or our amended and restated bylaws (including the interpretation, validity or enforceability thereof); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine (the "Delaware Forum Provision").

Our amended and restated bylaws further provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act (the "Federal Forum Provision"). In addition, our amended and restated bylaws provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the Delaware Forum Provision and the Federal Forum Provision; provided, however, that stockholders cannot and will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

The Delaware Forum Provision and the Federal Forum Provision in our amended and restated bylaws may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims. Additionally, these forum selection clauses may limit our stockholders' ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees, or stockholders which may discourage the filing of lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees, or stockholders even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. In addition, while the Delaware Supreme Court and other state courts have upheld the validity of federal forum selection provisions purporting to require claims under the Securities Act be brought in federal court, there is uncertainty as to whether other courts will enforce our Federal Forum Provision. If the Federal Forum Provision is found to be unenforceable, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters. The Federal Forum Provision may also impose additional litigation costs on stockholders who assert that the provision is not enforceable or invalid. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than our stockholders.

**General Risk Factors**

***We have incurred, and we will continue to incur, increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to support compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.***

As a public company, we have incurred, and we will continue to incur, significant finance, legal, accounting, and other expenses, including director and officer liability insurance, that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, stock exchange listing requirements, the reporting

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

requirements of the Exchange Act, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies in the United States. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to support compliance with these requirements. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee. For example, the Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations and comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other rules and regulations. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased, and will continue to increase, our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will continue to incur as a public company or the specific timing of such costs.

In addition, changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, potentially resulting in continued uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest substantial resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management's time and attention from business operations to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected.

***Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our current and projected business operations, financial condition, and results of operations.***

Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance, or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. Although we assess our banking and customer relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect us, the financial institutions with which we have credit agreements or arrangements directly, or the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry. These factors could involve financial institutions or financial services industry companies with which we have financial or business relationships, but could also include factors involving financial markets or the financial services industry generally.

The results of events or concerns that involve one or more of these factors could include a variety of material and adverse impacts on our current and projected business operations, financial condition, and results of operations. These could include, but may not be limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Delayed access to deposits or other financial assets or the uninsured loss of deposits or other financial assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Delayed or lost access to, or reductions in borrowings available under revolving existing credit facilities or other working capital sources and/or delays, inability, or reductions in our ability to refund, roll over or extend the maturity of, or enter into new credit facilities or other working capital resources;

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Potential or actual breach of contractual obligations that require us to maintain letters of credit or other credit support arrangements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Potential or actual breach of financial covenants in our credit agreements or credit arrangements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Potential or actual cross-defaults in other credit agreements, credit arrangements or operating or financing agreements; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Termination of cash management arrangements and/or delays in accessing or actual loss of funds subject to cash management arrangements.

In addition, investor concerns regarding the United States or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. Any decline in available funding or access to our cash and liquidity resources could, among other risks, adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, financial obligations or fulfill our other obligations, result in breaches of our financial and/or contractual obligations or result in violations of federal or state wage and hour laws. Further, if any of our customers, suppliers, or other parties with whom we conduct business are unable to acquire financing, access funds, or are otherwise adversely impacted by the factors described above, such parties' ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected. Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the factors described above or other related or similar factors not described above, could have material adverse impacts on our liquidity and our current and/or projected business operations, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes, fire, floods, and other natural catastrophic events, and to interruption by man-made problems such as power disruptions, computer viruses, data security breaches, or terrorism.***

Our corporate headquarters are located in Boston, Massachusetts, and we have employees elsewhere in the United States. We also have offices in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Ireland. A significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire, flood, or extreme weather event, occurring at our corporate headquarters, at one of our other facilities, or where a partner is located, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Further, if a natural disaster or man-made problem were to affect our third-party vendors, such as cloud infrastructure providers, it could adversely affect the ability of our customers to use our platform. In addition, natural disasters, geopolitical tension, military conflict or war, and acts of terrorism could cause disruptions in our or our customers' businesses, national economies, or the world economy as a whole. Health concerns or political or governmental developments in countries where we or our customers and vendors operate could result in economic, social, or labor instability and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Although we maintain incident management and disaster response plans, in the event of a major disruption caused by a natural disaster or man-made problem, we may be unable to continue our operations in part or in full and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our development activities, lengthy interruptions in service, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***Climate change may have a long-term impact on our business.***

We recognize that there are inherent climate-related risks wherever business is conducted. Any of our primary office locations and critical infrastructure may be vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. For example, our offices globally may experience climate-related events at an increasing frequency, including drought, water scarcity, heat waves, cold waves, wildfires, and resultant air quality impacts and power shutoffs associated with wildfire prevention. While this danger currently has a low-assessed risk of disrupting our normal business operations, it has the potential to disrupt employees' abilities to commute to work or to work from home and stay connected effectively. Furthermore, it is more

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

difficult to mitigate the impact of these events on our employees to the extent they work from home. Climate-related events, including the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and their impact on the critical infrastructure of the United States, Europe, and other major regions, have the potential to disrupt our business, our third-party suppliers (including cloud infrastructure providers) and/or the business of our customers, and may cause us to experience higher attrition, losses, and additional costs to maintain or resume operations. Regulatory developments, changing market dynamics and stakeholder expectations regarding climate change may impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments**

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity**

**Governance Related to Cybersecurity Risks**

Our board of directors recognizes the importance of our risk management program related to cybersecurity. As provided in the charter of the audit committee of our board of directors ("Audit Committee"), our Audit Committee serves a key function in our board of directors' oversight of these risks and processes. Our Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO") provides updates on the cybersecurity risks we face and our processes to address those risks to our Audit Committee on a periodic, but at least quarterly, basis. These updates may include, but are not limited to, reports of identified cybersecurity risks, status of our risk management processes, and updates regarding regulatory requirements and policies.

Our Audit Committee comprises members of our board of directors with extensive experience in the technology sector who have held leadership positions at other publicly listed companies and have expertise in various aspects of our business. Cybersecurity matters are formally raised to our co-Chief Executive Officers, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Legal Officer through their attendance of Audit Committee meetings. These individuals are also informed of significant events and updates through direct communication from our CISO as needed. We have a process for significant decisions over identified incidents to be escalated to our board of directors for disclosure and oversight.

Our CISO leads our cybersecurity initiatives and is primarily responsible for the assessing, managing, and monitoring of the Company's cybersecurity risks. Our CISO is a seasoned cybersecurity expert with over 20 years of experience and deep knowledge about our platform. His knowledge of cybersecurity, compliance, and risk assessment has been leveraged to develop our cybersecurity governance and risk strategy. Our CISO oversees our Security Operations and Trust team, as well as our cybersecurity related programs and matters, which are reported on regularly to our Audit Committee.

**Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy**

We have integrated cybersecurity risk management into our enterprise risk management framework in an effort to identify, assess, and manage risks from cybersecurity threats that could affect our business and information systems. We have implemented a cybersecurity program that is informed by recognized industry standards and frameworks, and incorporates elements of the same, including elements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework and International Organization for Standardization and the ISO 27001 standards.

Our cybersecurity risk assessment program includes a number of components, including monitoring and reviewing relevant intelligence sources to identify potential cybersecurity risk and threats, penetration testing and vulnerability assessments, and audits and maturity assessments. These processes are conducted periodically by both internal and external resources. For example, independent third-party experts and assessors perform our SOC 2 Type 2 examinations and

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

penetration testing. Our internal audit function also periodically conducts an assessment of different systems to provide our Audit Committee with information on our cybersecurity risk management processes.

We have implemented a process to address identified risks from cybersecurity threats in which our Security Risk team works in consultation with management and other key stakeholders, as appropriate, to determine the associated risks, potential impact, and the recommended course of action to address those risks. We have an incident response plan that includes escalation procedures for informing management and other key stakeholders. Our process calls for significant incidents and significant cybersecurity risks to be raised to our Audit Committee followed by notification to our board of directors.

We engage third-party service providers in the operation of our business. In an effort to mitigate risks from cybersecurity threats associated with our service providers, we perform security reviews of third-party service providers that are critical to our business or that could have an impact on our financial reporting. These security reviews may include, as appropriate, security questionnaires and vendor due diligence assessments. To monitor and manage third-party risk, we have a dedicated Security Risk team that reviews service providers' independent attestation reports and third-party certifications.

While we have been the target and victim of cyberattacks by third parties, as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not aware of any cybersecurity incidents that may have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See the section titled "Risk Factors" for further detail on identified risks, including those related to cybersecurity.

**Item 2. Properties**

Our corporate headquarters is located in Boston, Massachusetts, where we currently lease approximately 256,604 square feet pursuant to a lease agreement that expires in 2033.

We also lease or purchase service memberships to additional facilities in San Francisco, California; Palo Alto, California; Denver, Colorado; London, United Kingdom; Sydney, Australia; Dublin, Ireland; Singapore; and Paris, France.

We believe our facilities are adequate for our current needs.

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings**

From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to, nor is our property currently subject to, any material legal proceedings, nor are we involved in any legal proceedings the outcome of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations based on the status of the proceedings at this time. We are not aware of any governmental inquiries or investigations into our business.

Our innovation shifted the industry paradigm away from batch and blast practices with a fast, data-rich marketing tool. In addition to our email offering, we now incorporate text messaging and WhatsApp channels, Reviews, Marketing Agent, Klaviyo Service, Klaviyo Analytics, and others.

Klaviyo Service is an AI-powered customer service offering that integrates with marketing and data to help businesses provide seamless customer support via Customer Hub, Customer Agent and Helpdesk. Marketing Analytics gives brands real-time AI-powered insight into customer and purchase behavior so they can take action faster. Our Advanced KDP offering unlocks advanced features for even more powerful ways to track, transform, cleanse, and analyze data as well as run more advanced reporting and predictive analytics to drive revenue growth for our customers. These offerings leverage

Klaviyo's unified platform to deliver an integrated, AI-first customer experience that enhances automation, personalization, and efficiency across channels.

Today, our customers primarily operate within the retail and eCommerce vertical. Due to the flexibility and adaptability of our technology, we have also seen organic growth from customers in other verticals, such as education, events and entertainment, restaurants, and travel, as well as from B2B companies. As of December 31, 2025, our platform had efficiently scaled to over 193,000 customers. See the section titled "Key Performance Metrics — Customers" for additional information on how we define customers.

We generate revenue through the sale of subscriptions to our customers for the use of our platform. Our subscription plans are tiered based on the number of active consumer profiles stored on our platform and the number of emails, text messages and WhatsApp messages sent as well as tickets and conversations executed through Klaviyo Service. We currently permit our customers to send unlimited push notifications, which are included as part of our email subscription plan. Active consumer profiles are identified profiles that can be reached via at least one enabled marketing channel in Klaviyo; this means the profile is not suppressed, either by revoking consent or being rendered undeliverable. The vast majority of our subscription plans today are monthly.

Our land-and-expand strategy aligns our success with that of our customers. As our customers' businesses grow, they utilize more active consumer profiles and send more emails, text messages and WhatsApp messages, which naturally increases their usage of our platform. Our revenue also expands when our customers add additional marketing channels, such as text messaging, WhatsApp messaging, and mobile push and additional use cases, such as Customer Agent, Marketing Agent, Marketing Analytics, and Advanced KDP, or when their other companies, business units, and geographies start using our platform.

**Factors Affecting Our Future Performance**

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including the following factors:

***Growth in New Customers***

Attracting new customers to our platform is a key driver of our revenue growth strategy. We have successfully grown our retail and eCommerce customer base and believe we have significant room to expand within this vertical as well as expand further into other industries, including education, events and entertainment, restaurants, wellness, and travel as well as from B2B companies. Our ability to attract new customers will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to innovate, the effectiveness and pricing of our new and existing offerings and capabilities, and the success of our selling and marketing efforts.

***Expansion of Revenue From Our Existing Customer Base***

We believe our product-led growth strategy enables us to efficiently expand penetration within our existing customer base. We focus on expansion in three primary ways. First, as our customers increase their usage of our platform through the number of active consumer profiles they store and email, text messages and WhatsApp messages they send, they move to higher subscription tiers. Second, we cross-sell additional use cases (e.g. Customer Agent, Marketing Analytics, etc.) and marketing channels (e.g. text messaging and WhatsApp) to customers who started on our platform with our email offering. Finally, we offer our platform to our customers' other brands, business units, and geographies. Going forward, our ability to increase sales to existing customers will depend on a number of factors, including our customers' satisfaction with our solutions and the ability of our customers to attract new consumers. We expect these three forms of revenue expansion to continue in the future.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

***Growth with Larger Customers***

When we first launched our platform, we intentionally focused on serving entrepreneurs and SMBs based on the need we saw for a simple and easy-to-use, yet powerful solution for customers in this category, and the large market opportunity within this group of customers. As our customers have scaled and become mid-market companies and larger enterprises themselves, their success with Klaviyo has attracted more interest from similarly sized businesses that are looking to drive better engagement with their consumers. Our ability to continue to move up-market is dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to further adapt our platform to the needs of larger accounts, the effectiveness of our sales team, and pricing.

***International Expansion***

We believe we have significant expansion opportunities in international markets. We started by serving customers in North America and, in 2019, we expanded our operations to London, England to penetrate the European region. In 2022, we opened our office in Sydney, Australia to capitalize on the opportunities in Asia Pacific. In 2024, we expanded our presence in the European region by adding operations in Dublin, Ireland. In 2025, we continued our expansion into the Asia Pacific and European regions by adding operations in Singapore and France, respectively. We have already experienced significant growth with international sales outside of the Americas accounting for 35.1% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025. We also continue to expand our product offerings to better serve the international market. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we offer text messaging capabilities in more than 20 countries, and we offer our platform in English, French, German, Portuguese, Korean, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish (Mexico), and Polish. We believe that the introduction of additional languages to our platform increases our efficacy and ease of use in other regions. We also currently only bill in U.S. Dollars, and we believe that adding additional currencies to our platform will help us further our international expansion efforts.

***Investment in Innovation and Product Development***

Since our inception, we have been focused on product innovation, seeking to create what we believe is the best software solution for our customers. We originally launched our platform with email messaging as our first marketing channel. Since then, we have successfully added other marketing channels, such as text messaging, mobile push, and WhatsApp messaging, and additional use cases, such as Customer Agent, Marketing Agent, Marketing Analytics, and Advanced KDP. We have also introduced AI features that provide customers with AI-powered tools to streamline data segmentation, create and orchestrate campaigns, and drive better engagement, including our Marketing Agent and Customer Agent offerings as well as our MCP Server capability.

Our continued success depends on our ability to sustain product and technology innovation to continue delivering value to our customers. As technology and consumer preferences change, we believe that our ability to drive continuous product innovation will be critical to attract and retain customers and drive revenue growth.

***Increased Adoption of Our Text Messaging and WhatsApp Messaging Offerings***

We have seen notable success in the expansion of our platform with our text messaging and WhatsApp messaging offerings. Once customers adopt our text messaging and WhatsApp messaging offerings, they typically grow their usage over time as they gain comfort and confidence in the new channel. Our text messaging and WhatsApp messaging offerings have higher associated communication sending costs, and as the number of text messages and WhatsApp messages sent by our customers increases, we expect our gross margin to decline modestly. Text messaging and WhatsApp messaging are particularly concentrated in the fourth quarter of each year due to the holiday shopping season, and as a result, we expect our gross margin to be most heavily impacted in that quarter. This gross margin impact could be partially offset by gaining further leverage on costs with our increased scale, increased usage of higher margin products by our customers, and ongoing efforts to drive infrastructure efficiency. We believe we will see our overall gross profit dollars increase as

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

customers send more text messages and WhatsApp messages if our text messaging and WhatsApp messaging offerings continue to gain traction.

***Expansion into New Industry Verticals and Use Cases***

As more customers use our platform, we are seeing organic growth from customers in other verticals, such as education, events and entertainment, restaurants, and travel, as well as from B2B companies. While we started with consumer engagement as our initial use case in the retail and eCommerce vertical, we see a large opportunity into other products and verticals. Without an active sales motion, we have attracted customers from verticals other than retail and eCommerce, which indicates the strong interest and applicability of our platform to new verticals. We continue to explore ways to serve these new verticals more intentionally. We intend to continue actively investing in addressing new industry verticals and product use cases.

**Key Performance Metrics**

***Customers***. We define a customer as a distinct paid subscription to our platform. A single organization could have multiple discrete contracting divisions or subsidiaries or brands each with paid subscriptions to our platform, which would, in general, constitute multiple distinct customers. In some cases at the customer's request, we allow subscriptions under the same parent organization to be consolidated into a single paid subscription in which case such consolidated paid subscriptions would constitute a single customer. We measure our total number of customers as a point-in-time calculation measured as of the end of a particular period. Customers do not include persons or entities that use our platform on a free trial basis.

***Customers Generating Over $50,000 of ARR***. We calculate our number of customers generating over $50,000 of ARR (as defined below) as those customers that have an average ARR of greater than $50,000 over the prior twelve months (or the entire duration of the customer's paying relationship, if it is less than twelve months) as of the date of determination. We believe the number of customers generating over $50,000 of ARR is a key performance metric to help investors and others understand and evaluate our results of operations in the same manner as our management team, as it is an indicator of our ability to grow the number of customers that are exceeding this ARR threshold, both from our existing customers expanding their usage of our platform and from our sales to larger customers. We believe this is an important indicator of our ability to continue to successfully move up-market.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 3,912 customers generating over $50,000 of ARR, compared to 2,850 customers generating over $50,000 of ARR as of December 31, 2024, representing growth of 37% year-over-year.

***Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention Rate.*** We calculate our Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention rate ("NRR") by first identifying the cohort of customers as of twelve months prior to the date of determination. We then calculate the Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR") from this customer cohort as of twelve months prior to the date of determination (the "Prior Period ARR") and the ARR from this customer cohort as of the date of determination (the "Current Period ARR"). ARR, for any date of determination, is the annualized value of existing paid subscriptions, which we calculate by taking the amount of revenue that we expect to receive in the next monthly period for our existing paid subscriptions, assuming no changes to such subscriptions in the next month, as of that date of determination, and multiplying that amount by twelve. Current Period ARR includes any expansion, price increases, and customer subscriptions that are deactivated and subsequently reactivated during the applicable twelve-month period and reflects contraction or attrition over the last twelve months from this customer cohort, but excludes any ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the point-in-time NRR. We then calculate the weighted average point-in-time NRR as of the last day of each month in the current trailing twelve-month period to arrive at the NRR, with the weightings determined by the total ARR at the end of each period. We believe NRR is a key performance metric to help investors and others understand and evaluate our results of operations in the same manner as our management team, as it represents the expansion in usage of our platform by our existing customers, which is an

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

important measure of the health of our business and future growth prospects. We measure Dollar-Based Net Revenue Retention Rate to measure this growth.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our NRR was 110% and 108%, respectively. The increase in this metric from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025 was largely driven by expansion of existing customer plans and cross-selling additional offerings.

***Klaviyo Attributed Value.*** We define Klaviyo Attributed Value ("KAV") as the amount of revenue our customers generated through orders placed by consumers within a specified period of time after a message is sent using our platform, which in the case of email is five days from when the message is sent, and in the case of text messages and WhatsApp messages is twenty-four hours from when the message is sent. For email, the message also needs to be opened or clicked in order for the transaction to fall within our definition. KAV excludes orders placed with customers that do not opt-in to sharing data on placed orders, orders for which we cannot determine the currency or value, or unusual orders that appear to us to be anomalies. Since our definition of a customer does not include persons or entities that use our platform on a free trial basis, any revenue generated through orders placed with these persons or entities is also excluded from our definition of KAV. We do not net chargebacks or sales refunds from our calculation of KAV. If a customer leaves Klaviyo, we stop counting that customer's KAV after their last contracted month. We believe KAV serves as a measure of the return-on-investment that we help generate for our customers and illustrates the value our platform can drive to our customers, which we believe enhances our ability to maintain existing customers and attract new customers. We use KAV as an internal estimate to track the value we drive to customers through our platform. KAV is an operational measure, does not represent revenue earned by us, and does not directly correlate to our pricing, revenue, or results of operations. Further, KAV is not a forecast of future revenue, and investors should not place undue reliance on KAV as an indicator of our future or expected results.

**Seasonality**

Generally, demand for our services increases during the fourth quarter as our customers run more marketing campaigns and deploy marketing spend as a result of increased consumer spending patterns during the holiday shopping season. This is specifically prominent within the retail and eCommerce sector in which the majority of our customers operate today. Given our revenue model allows our customers to scale usage as needed, our sequential revenue growth has been historically stronger in the fourth quarter of each year compared to the revenue growth we see in other quarters. Our customers utilize the text messaging offering in particular during the holidays; as such, to the extent that the text messaging offering grows in proportion to our other channels, we expect that we would see further seasonality. While our profile-based pricing structure helps reduce the impact of seasonality on our revenue, we believe seasonality may continue to impact our quarterly results.

**Components of Results of Operations**

***Revenue***

A significant majority of our revenues are derived from sales of subscriptions, which are comprised of fees paid by customers to access our cloud-based software platform for storing first-party consumer data and using it to create and deliver personalized and targeted consumer experiences across digital channels. A small portion of our revenue is currently derived from professional services. For more information on how we recognize our revenues, see *Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

***Cost of Revenue***

Our cost of revenue primarily consists of cloud-based infrastructure costs, outbound communication sending costs, employee-related costs including payroll, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation expense related to our customer support team, amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs, and allocated overhead costs, including rent, facilities, depreciation, and costs related to information technology.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

We expect our cost of revenue to increase in dollar amount as we continue to invest in our platform infrastructure and support, acquire new customers, and drive existing customers to expand their usage of our platform.

***Gross Profit***

Our gross profit represents revenue, less all cost of revenue.

We expect our gross profit to increase over time due to an increase in revenue. We expect our gross margin to decline modestly in the near term as the volume of text messages and WhatsApp messages sent through our platform increases and as our cloud-based infrastructure costs and outbound communication sending costs increase as our customers increase usage of our platform and capabilities. This gross margin impact could be partially offset by gaining further leverage on costs with our increased scale, increased usage of higher margin offerings by our customers, and ongoing efforts to drive infrastructure efficiency.

***Selling and Marketing***

Our selling and marketing costs primarily consist of employee-related costs including payroll, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation; sales commissions and partnership expenses for revenue sharing agreements, including to Shopify, other commerce platform partners, and agency partners; costs associated with advertising and marketing activities; and allocated overhead costs, including rent, facilities, depreciation, and costs related to information technology. Sales commissions are considered an incremental cost to obtain contracts with customers and these costs are deferred and amortized over the expected benefit period. On July 28, 2022, we entered into a collaboration agreement and strategic partnership with Shopify pursuant to which we issued warrants to Shopify (the "Shopify Warrants"), in exchange for promotion of our marketing services with customers within the Shopify ecosystem. In accordance with relevant accounting policies, we recognize a prepaid marketing expense in connection with vesting of the Shopify Warrants. This prepaid marketing expense represents the probable future economic benefit being amortized over a seven-year expected benefit period and is recorded based on the fair value of the warrants on the grant date.

We expect to continue to make investments in our selling and marketing organization, and expect selling and marketing expense to remain our largest operating expense in dollar amount. Selling and marketing expense may fluctuate from period to period depending on the extent and timing of our marketing initiatives. We expect selling and marketing expense to increase in dollar amount but decrease as a percentage of revenue over the longer term. In the short term, we expect selling and marketing costs to increase as we increase headcount in our go-to-market team, grow into new markets, and pay more in partnership fees to Shopify and other partners as we continue to grow.

***Research and Development***

Our research and development costs primarily consist of employee-related costs associated with research and development staff, including payroll, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation, and allocated overhead costs, including rent, facilities, depreciation, and costs related to information technology. We capitalize a portion of our research and development costs that meet the criteria for capitalization of internal-use software. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

We believe continued investment and innovation in our platform, capabilities, and offerings are important for our growth and, as such, expect our research and development costs to continue to increase in dollar amount but remain consistent as a percentage of revenue for the foreseeable future. This percentage may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing and amount of these expenses.

***General and Administrative***

Our general and administrative expenses consist of employee-related costs including payroll, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation in general corporate functions, such as procurement, accounting and finance, tax, legal, project

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

management, and human resources, as well as allocated overhead costs, including rent, facilities, depreciation, and costs related to information technology. Credit card processing fees are also part of general and administrative expenses.

We incur expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses to comply with the rules and regulations governing public companies, such as Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and expenses for legal, audit, insurance, investor relations, and related professional services. Further, we expect an increase in dollar amount of credit card processing fees in line with the expected increase in revenue for the foreseeable future. As a result, we expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in dollar amount for the foreseeable future but to generally decrease as a percentage of our revenue over the longer term as we scale our business. This percentage may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing and amount of our general and administrative expenses.

***Interest Income***

Interest income consists of income and dividends earned from our cash deposits held in interest-bearing accounts and money market funds.

***Provision for Income Taxes***

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The OECD is coordinating negotiations among more than 140 countries with the goal of achieving consensus around substantial changes to international tax policies, including the implementation of a minimum global effective tax rate of 15%. Various countries have implemented or are in the process of implementing the legislation, which does not currently apply to us. As additional jurisdictions enact such legislation, we expect our effective tax rate and cash tax payments could increase in future years.

**Segments**

We operate our business through one reportable segment, as well as one business activity, providing software that brings first-party consumer data together and uses it to create and deliver highly personalized consumer experiences across digital channels.

Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $52.8 million or 22.1%, to $291.2 million compared to $238.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to increases of approximately $22.6 million in salaries and related personnel expenses as a result of increased headcount, $17.5 million in stock-based compensation expense from the vesting of RSUs, $8.8 million in technology expenses, and $4.8 million in severance expense primarily related to restructuring costs.

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $1.2 million or 49.2% to $1.2 million compared to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to excess tax deductions related to stock-based compensation.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing, and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our primary sources and uses of liquidity, including cash balances on hand and cash flows from operations.

Since our inception through December 31, 2025, we have financed our operations primarily through payments received from our customers and sales of equity securities, including the completion of our IPO in September 2023. As of December 31, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaling $1.1 billion, with such amounts held for working capital purposes. Our cash equivalents were comprised of $325.9 million in money market funds.

Our primary cash needs are for personnel-related expenses, selling and marketing expenses, third-party cloud infrastructure expenses, and outbound communication sending costs.

Based upon our current levels of operations, we believe our operating cash flows provide sufficient liquidity to support liquidity and financing needs for at least the next twelve months. Our ability to continue to meet these requirements and obligations will depend on, among other things, our ability to achieve anticipated levels of revenue and cash flow from operations, and our ability to manage costs and working capital successfully. Additionally, our cash flow generation ability is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, and regulatory factors, and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate cash flow from operations in an amount sufficient to enable us to fund our liquidity needs.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our working capital:

***Operating Activities***

Net cash provided by operating activities of $218.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $31.8 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $287.4 million and net cash outflows of $37.6 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $162.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, $52.9 million of prepaid marketing expense amortization, $29.9 million of deferred contract acquisition cost amortization, $24.8 million of operating lease costs, and $18.6 million of depreciation and amortization expense. Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

liabilities primarily consisted of a $54.3 million increase in deferred contract acquisition costs related to higher sales commissions resulting from our increased revenues, a $23.8 million decrease in operating lease liabilities due to payments on our operating lease obligations, a $19.7 million increase in accounts receivable due to higher customer billings, and a $6.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other noncurrent assets. The cash outflow was offset by cash inflows primarily from a $38.7 million increase in deferred revenue resulting from increased billings for subscriptions and a $29.6 million net increase in accrued expenses and accounts payable due to timing of vendor payments.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $166.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $46.1 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $239.8 million and net cash outflows of $27.7 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $135.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $52.9 million of prepaid marketing expense amortization, $19.8 million of deferred contract acquisition cost amortization, $17.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense, and $12.7 million of operating lease costs. Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a $34.4 million increase in deferred contract acquisition costs related to higher sales commissions resulting from our increased revenues, a $20.8 million increase in accounts receivable due to higher customer billings, a $17.3 million increase in prepaid expenses and other noncurrent assets, and a $16.7 million decrease in operating lease liabilities due to payments on our operating lease obligations. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows primarily from a $36.3 million net increase in accrued expenses and accounts payable due to the timing of vendor payments and the implementation of a company-wide bonus program and a $24.4 million increase in deferred revenue resulting from increased billings for subscriptions.

***Investing Activities***

Net cash used in investing activities of $30.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 consisted of $19.0 million of capitalized software costs, $9.5 million of purchases of property and equipment, and $2.0 million of business acquisition costs.

Net cash used in investing activities of $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 consisted of $11.3 million of capitalized software costs and $5.9 million of purchases of property and equipment.

***Financing Activities***

Net cash used in financing activities of $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily consisted of approximately $18.0 million used for the payment of employee tax obligations related to the vesting of stock-based compensation awards offset by $11.3 million of proceeds from the Company's 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") and $2.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Net cash used in financing activities of $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily consisted of approximately $23.7 million used for the payment of employee tax obligations related to the vesting of stock-based compensation awards offset by $9.7 million of proceeds from the exercise of common stock options and $8.1 million of proceeds from the ESPP.

***Cash Management***

We manage our operating cash management activities through banking relationships with our domestic and international subsidiaries and all of our cash requirements were serviced by the operating cash flows of our business. We diversify our cash deposits across a variety of well-established financial institutions based on ratings from nationally recognized rating organizations to reduce our exposure to counterparty and concentration risk.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

We expect a continued increase in our cash balances as our business continues to grow. We expect to continue to diversify our cash management strategy to primarily include money market funds, highly-liquid debt instruments of the U.S. government and its agencies, senior corporate bonds, and commercial paper to reduce our global exposure on banking deposits.

***Lease Obligations***

We enter into various noncancellable lease agreements for certain office space and equipment used in the normal course of business. Our noncancellable lease obligations as of December 31, 2025 were $150.8 million, with $25.5 million payable within 12 months.

***Other Contractual Obligations***

We enter into various noncancellable agreements with marketing vendors and service providers. Our noncancellable obligations as of December 31, 2025 were $929.2 million, with $215.0 million payable within 12 months.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this filing, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures included elsewhere in this filing. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We re-evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis.

The accounting estimates we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained and our operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in our reported results of operations and, if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported based on these estimates.

The critical accounting estimates that reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements include those noted below.

***Revenue Recognition***

We derive revenue from subscription fees and other related professional services. Revenue is recognized when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control of the promised service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services.

Our SaaS subscription agreements with customers offer access to our cloud-based software platform, which enables personalized email, text messaging, WhatsApp messaging, and mobile push marketing, as well as customer service offerings, marketing analytics, CDP offerings, and reviews. Subscription fees are generated from customers accessing our hosted platform services and our subscription agreements do not provide our customers with the right to take possession of our software. Contractual subscriptions for customers generally auto-renew on either a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, and customers may elect not to renew by providing at least five days' advance

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

notice for contracts on a monthly billing cycle and thirty days' advance notice for contracts with any other billing cycles. Subscription pricing is determined based on a customer's profile count and messaging quantities based on a tiered pricing structure and is considered fixed. Variable consideration in our contracts is not material but represents the overage charges incurred by customers who exceed their allotments.

We recognize revenue under the core principle that depicts the transfer of control to our customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which we expect to be entitled. We account for individual performance obligations separately if they have been determined to be distinct, and we allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The determination of stand-alone selling price uses judgments and estimates that are based upon the prices at which we separately sell subscriptions. If not considered distinct, the goods or services promised by us are combined and accounted for as a single performance obligation. Determining the distinct performance obligations in a contract requires judgment. Typically, our SaaS subscription agreements consist of a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligation is satisfied. Our single performance obligation primarily consists of access to our platform and related professional services.

***Costs to Obtain Customers***

We capitalize incremental costs of obtaining revenue contracts, which primarily consist of sales commissions. Contract costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of up to five years, which reflects the expected period of benefit of the performance obligation and may be longer than the initial contract period. We determine the estimated benefit period by considering both qualitative and quantitative factors, including the length of the subscription terms in our customer contracts and the anticipated life of our technology, among other factors.

***Shopify Collaboration Agreement***

We entered into a collaboration agreement on July 28, 2022 with Shopify to form a strategic relationship for the purposes of creating greater interoperability between the Klaviyo and Shopify platforms. In connection with the collaboration agreement, we entered into three separate agreements, including a revenue sharing agreement, common stock warrant agreement, and stock purchase agreement.

The revenue sharing agreement was entered into in connection with, and the Shopify Warrants were issued in exchange for, compensation for marketing services that we will receive from Shopify under the collaboration agreement. We have estimated the fair value of the Shopify Warrants on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model uses assumptions that are based upon estimates made by management. The key assumptions used to value the Shopify Warrants include the fair value of the common stock, a dividend yield of zero, contractual term of 10 years, volatility of 55.00%, and a risk-free rate of 2.85%. We estimate the volatility based upon an average historical volatility of several peer public companies over a period equivalent to the term of the Shopify Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the Shopify Warrants. Expected dividend yield is 0.0% as we have not paid and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock. We recognize a prepaid marketing expense asset associated with the Shopify Warrants over a straight-line five-year vesting period. Pursuant to the common stock warrant agreement, upon our IPO, 25% of the total number of warrants were accelerated, and the remaining unvested portion vests quarterly over the remaining vesting term. The prepaid marketing expense asset is amortized into selling and marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the expected benefit period, which we determine to be the seven-year term of the collaboration agreement as the core activities and deliverables of the collaboration agreement will remain in place for seven years and Shopify does not have the right to terminate the collaboration agreement for convenience.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

Under the stock purchase agreement, we issued and sold shares of common stock to Shopify and provided an investment option which allows Shopify to purchase additional shares of common stock at a fixed price, exercisable at any time at Shopify's option until July 28, 2030. We determined that the purchase price equals the fair market value of the instruments issued as Shopify was an outside investor at the time we entered into the stock purchase agreement and the purchase represented an arms-length transaction. Further, the fair value of the instruments was substantiated through a probability weighted expected return method analysis as part of common stock valuations performed at the time the agreement was entered into. The common stock and investment option are classified as equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not recognize marketing expense associated with these instruments as they are freestanding from the other agreements entered into with Shopify and were issued at fair market value.

***Stock-Based Compensation***

Compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee, directors, and non-employee awards as well as secondary market transactions, is measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on fair value. Pursuant to our 2015 Plan, we have issued stock options, RSUs, and restricted stock awards ("RSAs"); however, all equity grants issued subsequent to our IPO are made pursuant to our 2023 Stock Option and Incentive Plan ("2023 Plan"), which was approved by our board of directors effective as of September 19, 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, stock-based compensation awards issued were in the form of RSUs subject to only service-based vesting conditions under our 2023 Plan.

Stock-based compensation awards that contain only service-based vesting conditions are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. In addition to service requirements, RSUs granted under our 2015 Plan prior to our IPO are subject to a performance-based vesting condition, which we have concluded represents a performance condition. Fair value of such awards is measured on the grant date and recognized over the vesting term when the performance condition is considered probable of being achieved. This performance condition was achieved when our registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with our IPO became effective on September 19, 2023. Compensation expense for these awards with both service-based and performance-based vesting conditions is expensed under the accelerated attribution method, which includes a cumulative catch up recorded upon the satisfaction of the performance-based vesting condition for services that had been completed as of the satisfaction of the performance-based vesting condition. The remaining expense for these awards is being recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the remaining service period.

For option awards granted in prior years, we estimate grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grant date fair value of RSUs and RSAs is estimated based on fair value of the underlying common stock.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

We have operations within the United States and several international jurisdictions, and are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk is the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, future earnings, or future cash flows that may result from changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk is primarily a result of fluctuations in interest rates and inflation. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative, hedging, or trading purposes, although in the future we might enter into exchange rate hedging arrangements to manage the risks described below.

***Interest Rate Risk***

We had cash of $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2025, which consisted of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash held in deposit accounts at financial institutions, and money market funds. Our cash is held for working capital and general corporate purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our cash holdings in interest bearing accounts are exposed to market risk due to fluctuations in interest rates, which may affect our interest income. As of December 31, 2025, we had no debt, and therefore no potential market risk for interest expense.

***Inflation Risk***

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We continue to monitor the impact of inflation in order to reduce its effects through pricing strategies, productivity improvements, and cost reductions. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Foreign Currency Risk***

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The reporting and functional currency of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. All of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore our revenue is not subject to significant foreign currency risk.

Our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, which are primarily in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Ireland. Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future as a result. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk or other derivative financial instruments, although we may choose to do so in the future. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar would not have a material impact on our operating results.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Klaviyo, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Klaviyo, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in redeemable common stock and stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 10, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

**Revenue — Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements**

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

The Company's revenue is comprised primarily of subscription fees made up of a large volume of low-dollar subscription transactions, sourced from various applications and supporting databases. The processing and recording of revenue is highly automated and is based on the contractual terms with customers. Because of the nature of the Company's subscription fees, the Company uses automated systems to process and record its revenue transactions.

Given the Company's systems to process and record revenue are highly automated, auditing revenue is complex and challenging due to the extent of audit effort required and involvement of professionals with expertise in information

------

technology ("IT") necessary to identify, test, and evaluate the Company's systems, software applications, and automated controls.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the Company's systems that process revenue transactions included the following procedures, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• With the assistance of our IT specialists, we:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Identified the significant systems used to process revenue transactions and tested the effectiveness of general IT controls over each of these systems, including testing of user access controls, change management controls, and IT operations controls.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Performed testing of system interface controls and automated controls within the relevant revenue streams, as well as the controls designed to ensure the accuracy and completeness of revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We tested internal controls over the Company's relevant revenue business processes, including those in place to reconcile the various systems to the Company's general ledger.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We created data visualizations to evaluate recorded revenue and evaluate trends in the transactional revenue data.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For a sample of revenue transactions, we compared the recorded revenue to source documents and tested the accuracy of the recorded revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the revenue billed through a payment processor, we tested the reconciliation of the recorded revenue to total cash received during the year.

**Klaviyo, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

**1. Organization and Business Description**

Klaviyo, Inc. (the "Company" or "Klaviyo") is a technology company that provides a cloud-based, software-as-a-service ("SaaS") platform that enables consumer-focused businesses to capture, store, analyze, and use their first-party data to create and deliver personalized consumer experiences across digital channels. The Company's platform combines proprietary data, action, and intelligence layers to unify customer data and support real-time activation across multiple use cases, including marketing, customer service, analytics, and data management.

The Company's offerings include marketing automation capabilities that allow customers to orchestrate campaigns across multiple channels, including email, text messaging, WhatsApp messaging, and mobile push. The Company also offers customer service solutions, including Customer Agent, Customer Hub and Helpdesk, as well as marketing analytics, and data platform functionality.

The Company generates revenue through the sale of subscriptions that provide customers access to its platform. Subscription plans are tiered based on the number of consumer profiles stored on the Company's platform and the number of emails, text messages, and WhatsApp messages sent as well as customer tickets and conversations through Klaviyo Service.

The Company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 14, 2012. The Company has several wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States and international jurisdictions.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Basis of Presentation***

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

***Principles of Consolidation***

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, determination of revenue recognition under ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* ("ASC 606"), estimated benefit period of deferred contract acquisition costs, estimated life of prepaid marketing expense, and historical valuation of common stock and stock-based compensation, including fair value of the warrants.

The Company evaluates estimates based on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

***Segment Information***

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.

The key measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to make operating decisions, allocate resources and evaluate financial performance is the Company's consolidated net loss, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Net loss is used to plan and forecast for future periods, design and implement key marketing strategies, expand into new markets, and launch new offerings. Significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM are those disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. There are no other expenses supplemental to those disclosed in these consolidated financial statements that are regularly provided to the CODM.

Information related to the geographical distribution of the Company's revenues and long-lived assets is disclosed in *Note 14. Segment Information and Geographic Data*.

***Revenue Recognition***

The Company derives revenue primarily from subscription fees related to access to its cloud-based SaaS platform. The platform enables customers to store and use first-party consumer data to deliver personalized consumer experiences across multiple digital communication channels and access data-driven marketing, customer service, analytics, and data platform functionality.

Contractual subscriptions for customers generally auto-renew on either a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, and customers may elect not to renew by providing at least five days' advance notice for contracts on a monthly billing cycle and thirty days' advance notice for contracts with any other billing cycles. Customers do not have the right to take possession of the Company's software. Subscription pricing is determined based on a customer's profile count and messaging quantities and is considered fixed based on a tiered pricing structure. Variable consideration in the Company's contracts is not material but represents the overage charges incurred by customers who exceed their allotments.

The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle that depicts the transfer of control to the Company's customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company evaluates its revenue arrangements under the five-step model as follows: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Typically, the SaaS subscription contracts consist of a single performance obligation, and revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied ratably as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the services that the Company performs over the contract term. Due to the term of a majority of the Company's contracts being less than one year, the Company has determined a significant financing component does not exist.

The Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they have been determined to be distinct (i.e., the services are distinct if identifiable from other items in the arrangement and the customer can benefit from them on their own or with other resources that are readily available). The transaction price is allocated to the distinct performance

**Klaviyo, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells subscriptions.

Sales and value-added taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are excluded from revenue. The Company incurs fees based on transaction volume and dollar amounts processed through its credit card processor, which are classified as general and administrative expense. Through the Company's credit card processor, all receivables related to credit cards are collected within three business days.

***Cost of Revenue***

Cost of revenue consists of costs related to supporting and hosting the Company's software platform and channel offering for paying customers. These costs primarily include cloud-based infrastructure costs, outbound communication sending costs, employee-related costs including payroll, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation expense related to the customer support team, amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs, and allocated overhead costs, including rent, facilities, depreciation, and costs related to information technology.

***Deferred Revenue***

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings in advance of revenue recognition from subscription services and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met.

The Company generally bills its subscription customers in advance of their subscription term. Revenue that is expected to be recognized during future periods is recorded as deferred revenue.

***Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs***

Deferred contract acquisition costs are incremental costs incurred in connection with acquiring a customer contract and consist primarily of sales commissions and the associated payroll taxes. The Company expects to benefit from these costs for more than one year as the Company primarily pays sales commissions on the initial contract, and there are no commensurate commissions paid on contract renewals.

Deferred contract acquisition costs are amortized on a basis consistent with the transfer of the services to which the asset relates. This results in capitalized costs being recognized on a ratable basis over the estimated period of future benefit ranging from 18 months to 60 months. The Company estimates the future period of benefit considering the size of the customer, the current contract term, the impact of estimated customer renewal terms, and the estimated life of the technology solution underlying the contracts. The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of capitalized costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, deferred contract acquisition costs expected to be recognized within one year were $29.6 million and $20.5 million, respectively, and deferred contract acquisition costs expected to be recognized beyond one year were $47.8 million and $32.5 million, respectively.

***Shopify Collaboration Agreement***

On July 28, 2022, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Shopify Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Shopify") to form a strategic relationship for the purposes of creating greater interoperability between the Klaviyo and Shopify platforms and forming a strategic product, distribution, and marketing relationship. Shopify became a related party upon execution of this agreement. The collaboration agreement has a term of 7 years and automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless the Company or Shopify provides written notice of non-renewal. In connection with the collaboration agreement, the Company entered into 3 separate agreements including a revenue sharing agreement, common stock warrant agreement, and stock purchase agreement.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

**Klaviyo, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

Under the revenue sharing agreement, the Company will make payments to Shopify in exchange for marketing services received under the collaboration agreement, which are comprised of payments for the Shopify Core Revenue Share and payments for the Shopify Plus Integration Fee. These payments are calculated as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Shopify Core Revenue Share:* For all revenue generated through the use of the Company's email and text messaging and WhatsApp messaging marketing applications by Shopify merchants designated as "Shopify Core Merchants" in respect of leads attributed to Shopify, the Company is obligated to pay Shopify a percentage of such revenues or the amounts owed to Shopify under the terms of Shopify's standard partnership agreements applicable to all Shopify partners, which is 15% of any revenues exceeding a $1 million threshold.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Shopify Plus Integration Fee*: On a monthly basis, the Company is required to pay Shopify a fee ("Shopify Plus Integration Fee" or "Integration Fee"), subject to an annual increase at Shopify's election (up to a maximum increase of not more than a percentage calculated through a formula provided in the revenue sharing agreement), with respect to each Shopify Plus Merchant where all of the following circumstances apply: (a) the Shopify Plus Merchant was on Shopify's Plus program at the end of the relevant month; (b) one or more of the Shopify Plus Merchant's covered stores has the Company's application installed at both the beginning and at the end of the relevant month; and (c) the Company's application received a webhook request and/or made any Application Programming Interface calls against one or more of the Shopify Plus Merchant's covered stores in the relevant month (i.e., the Company's application is integrated with the Shopify platform and data is flowing between them).

The Company determined that Shopify is a vendor and not a customer, as the collaboration agreement is a services contract under which the Company is receiving marketing services from Shopify in exchange for payments under the revenue sharing agreement. The revenue sharing agreement is a mechanism for Shopify to be compensated for the customer acquisition and marketing services Shopify is providing to the Company. Shopify is not a reseller or distributor of the Company's platform, nor does Shopify provide any services on the Company's behalf. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred $33.2 million, $27.4 million, and $21.9 million, respectively, related to fees paid under the revenue sharing agreement. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $3.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in accrued expenses owed to Shopify for fees payable under the revenue sharing agreement. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $3.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in accounts payable owed to Shopify for fees payable under the revenue sharing agreement.

As consideration for the collaboration agreement, the Company also issued warrants that allow Shopify to purchase up to 15,743,174 shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share, of which 25% of the warrants vested on the grant date on July 28, 2022, and the remaining 75% of the warrants vest quarterly over the remaining 5 year period. The aggregate grant date fair value of the warrants was $370.3 million and is being capitalized to prepaid marketing expense as the warrants vest. The prepaid marketing expense asset is amortized into selling and marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the expected benefit period, which is the 7 year term of the collaboration agreement.

Pursuant to the common stock warrant agreement, upon the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") in September 2023, an additional 25% of the total number of warrants were accelerated, and the remaining unvested portion vests quarterly over the remaining term. Specifically, the vesting associated with 3,935,793 of the outstanding warrants was accelerated, resulting in an increase to prepaid marketing expense of $92.6 million. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company capitalized prepaid marketing expense of $32.4 million and $32.4 million, respectively, related to vested warrants. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded marketing expense of $52.9 million, $52.9 million and $52.9 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as a component of selling and marketing expense related to the amortization of the prepaid marketing expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's prepaid marketing expense was $132.8 million and $153.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was $189.5 million of unrecognized marketing expense

related to the warrants that will be recognized over 3.6 years. Refer to *Note 11. Redeemable Common Stock, Common Stock, and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)* for further discussion of the warrants.

On June 24, 2022, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Shopify. On the closing date of July 28, 2022, Shopify purchased 2,951,846 shares of common stock for $33.88 per share. The stock purchase agreement gives Shopify the right to purchase 15,743,174 additional shares of common stock for $88.93 per share (the "Investment Option"). The common stock and Investment Option were determined to be freestanding financial instruments purchased at fair value and were accounted for separately from the collaboration agreement, revenue sharing agreement, and common stock warrant agreement. Refer to *Note 11. Redeemable Common Stock, Common Stock, and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)* for further discussion of the common stock purchase and Investment Option.

***Research and Development Costs***

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, unless they qualify as capitalized internal-use software development costs. Research and development costs consist primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with the Company's research and development staff, including payroll, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation.

***Advertising Costs***

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred advertising expenses, which are included within selling and marketing expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, in the amount of $51.8 million, $45.9 million, and $41.6 million, respectively.

***Stock-Based Compensation***

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation on awards granted under stock compensation plans, which are described in more detail in *Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation*.

The Company measures stock-based compensation awards, including stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded for awards issued to employees and non-employees at fair value with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. For awards with service-based vesting conditions only, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur.

RSUs granted under the Company's 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan") are subject to both service-based and performance-based vesting conditions, whereby the performance condition is satisfied upon occurrence of a liquidity event. Upon the effectiveness of the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with its IPO in September 2023, the performance condition was satisfied and cumulative compensation cost was recognized using the accelerated attribution method. Compensation costs continue to be recognized under this method as the RSUs vest over the remaining service period. Generally, 2015 Plan awards vest or are exercisable into shares of Series B common stock and are immediately reclassified to shares of Series A common stock based upon the employee's conversion election made at the time of the Company's IPO. The fair value of each RSU grant is calculated based on the estimated fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, or, if modified, the date of modification.

RSUs granted under the Company's 2023 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan") are for shares of Series A common stock and are subject to service-based vesting conditions only. Compensation costs related to these awards are recognized using the straight-line method over the service period of the award. The fair value of each RSU grant is calculated based on the fair value of the Company's Series A common stock on the date of grant, or, if modified, the date of modification.

**Klaviyo, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

Rights granted to employees to purchase shares of Series A common stock under the Company's 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") are subject to service-based vesting conditions only. Compensation costs related to the ESPP are recognized using the straight-line method over the service period of the award. The fair value of the estimated shares of Series A common stock to be purchased is computed as the sum of (a) 15% purchase discount off the grant date quoted trading price of the Company's Series A common stock and (b) the fair value of the look-back feature of the Company's Series A common stock on the grant date, which consists of a call option on 85% of a share of Series A common stock and a put option on 15% of a share of Series A common stock.

***Redeemable Common Stock***

Redeemable common stock represents shares of the Company's common stock that were redeemable at the option of the investor after a specified date. The initial carrying amount of redeemable common stock is equal to the respective issuance date fair value of the common stock subject to redemption, less issuance costs. The carrying amount was adjusted to equal the redemption value, which was equal to the fair value of a single share of common stock at the end of each reporting period. The carrying amount was subject to a floor equal to the initial carrying amount. The resulting changes in the redemption value were recorded with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings, if available, additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit. Redeemable common stock was originally classified outside of permanent equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the redemption option was outside of the Company's control. As the redemption feature applicable to certain shares of the Company's common stock was terminated upon the Company's IPO, all shares of the Company's redeemable common stock converted into 64,046,223 shares of Series B common stock upon the effectiveness of the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on September 19, 2023. Refer to *Note 11. Redeemable Common Stock, Common Stock, and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)* for further discussion.

***Income Taxes***

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, *Income Taxes* ("ASC 740"), which utilizes the asset and liability method for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The amount of any future tax benefit associated with deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation allowance when there is uncertainty that those tax benefits will be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold in accordance with ASC 740. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity, and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

***Accounts Receivable***

Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.3 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established to represent the Company's best estimate of the net realizable value of the outstanding amount of receivables that it will be unable to collect. The development of the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of factors such as the customer's payment history, historical loss patterns, the general economic climate, age, and past due status of invoices. If circumstances relating to specific customers change or unanticipated changes occur in the general business environment, the Company's estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted.

| Provisions for uncollectible accounts, net of recoveries | 2578 | 349 | 28 |
| Write offs | (1352) | (798) | (802) |
| Balance at end of the period | $2256 | $1030 | $1479 |

---

Accounts receivable is shown inclusive of unbilled accounts receivable of $3.3 million and $1.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Unbilled accounts receivable is made up entirely of overages incurred by customers who have exceeded their subscription allotments as of the period end but are not yet due for their period end billing.

***Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash***

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had cash equivalents of $325.9 million and $278.2 million, respectively, in money market funds.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a current restricted cash balance of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a non-current restricted cash balance of $0.7 million. The Company had no non-current restricted cash as of December 31, 2025. Restricted cash at December 31, 2025 and 2024 related to the Company's required collateral to fund payroll and credit card obligations in its Australian entity, as well as collateral required to be held as a result of the Company's office lease in Australia. Restricted cash is included in current assets for obligations that expire within one year and is included in non-current assets for obligations that expire more than one year from the balance sheet date.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total of the amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As of,** | **As of,** |
| | **December 31, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $1064875 | $881473 |
| Restricted cash, current | 738 | 375 |
| Restricted cash, non-current |  | 739 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $1065613 | $882587 |

---

As of December 31, 2025, $150.0 million of the $1.1 billion cash and cash equivalents detailed above was held in a high yield notice deposit account requiring 31 days' notice for withdrawal.

***Concentrations of Credit Risk, Significant Customers, and Vendors***

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, restricted cash, and accounts receivable.

The Company maintains its cash and restricted cash at accredited financial institutions. Bank accounts in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2025 and

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

**Klaviyo, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

2024, the Company's primary operating accounts significantly exceeded federally insured limits. The Company does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is dispersed due to the Company's large number of customers. The Company routinely assesses the creditworthiness of its customers. The Company does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable. Accounts receivable is stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by management to be probable in the Company's accounts receivable.

Significant concentrations of credit risk exist when a customer represents 10% or more of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable. Additionally, there were no customers that represented 10% or more of the Company's revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

The Company had certain vendors who individually represented 10% or more of the Company's total vendor expenditures. For the year ended December 31, 2025, three vendors represented 18%, 14%, and 13% of total vendor expenditures. For the year ended December 31, 2024, three vendors represented 17%, 16%, and 12% of total vendor expenditures. For the year ended December 31, 2023, three vendors represented 19%, 14%, and 12% of total vendor expenditures.

***Property and Equipment***

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income or loss in the period of disposal. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas major improvements are capitalized as additions to property and equipment. The estimated useful lives of the Company's property and equipment are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Office equipment | 5 years |
| Computer equipment | 3 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 3 - 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of lease term or useful life |
| Asset retirement cost | Lesser of lease term or 5 years |

---

***Asset Retirement Obligations ("ARO")***

As part of the build out of the Company's headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, the Company built an internal staircase connecting multiple floors. This staircase required the removal of ground space to connect the floors. The lease agreement required the Company to incur the costs required to restore the leased space to its original condition. During fiscal year 2020, on the lease commencement date, the Company established an ARO based on the present value of contractually required estimated future costs to retire long-lived assets at the termination or expiration of the lease and to return the space to its original condition. The asset associated with the ARO is amortized over the lease term or 5 years to operating expense, and the ARO is accreted to the end of lease obligation value over the same term. On January 31, 2025, the Company amended the lease agreement for its Boston corporate headquarters and, under the terms of the amendment, the Company was relieved of the obligation to return the space to its original condition. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company derecognized the ARO. The ARO activity is described in more detail in *Note 5. Property and Equipment, Net.*

***Capitalized Internal-Use Software***

The Company capitalizes qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage in connection with the development of internal-use software, which are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of property and equipment, net. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation stages of software development are expensed as incurred.

Costs capitalized as internal-use software development costs include eligible salaries, stock-based compensation, and other compensation-related costs of employees incurred in developing new features and enhancements when the costs will result in additional functionality. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 3 years. Computer software development costs that do not qualify for capitalization are expensed as incurred.

Capitalization begins when the preliminary project stage is complete, management authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project with appropriate authority, it is probable the project will be completed, the software will be used to perform the functions intended, and certain functional and quality standards have been met.

***Leases***

The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. At the commencement date, the Company will perform the classification tests to determine whether its leases are operating or financing and recognize the related lease liability and right-of-use ("ROU") asset. The Company, as the lessee, recognizes on the Consolidated Balance Sheets a liability to make lease payments and an ROU asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for both finance and operating leases with a lease term longer than twelve months. Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are recognized based on the present value of unpaid lease payments over the expected lease term.

The Company has elected the following practical expedients: (1) not to separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes and (2) not to recognize leases with a term of 12 months or less at commencement on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all asset classes. If there is a change in the Company's assessment of the lease term and, as a result, the remaining lease term extends more than 12 months from the end of the previously determined lease term, the lease no longer meets the definition of a short-term lease and is accounted for as either an operating or finance lease and recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company leases office space and office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases ranging from 1 to 8 years. Certain leases include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years. These options will be included in the lease term when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company's leases generally do not include options to terminate the leases or to purchase the underlying asset.

The Company's leases are primarily fixed payments. Certain of the Company's leases include variable lease payments, generally related to the lessor's operating costs associated with the underlying asset, which are expensed as incurred. The Company's leases generally do not contain residual value guarantees.

As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to calculate the present value of future minimum lease payments, which is the estimated rate the Company would be required to pay for fully collateralized borrowing over the period similar to lease terms. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

***Foreign Currency Translation***

The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar ("USD"). In certain instances, the Company enters into transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the USD. At the date that such transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured and recorded in USD using the exchange rate in effect at that date. At each balance sheet date, recorded monetary balances denominated in a currency other than the USD are adjusted to USD using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, with gains or losses recognized in other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Foreign currency translation gains and losses were immaterial for the periods presented. The Company recognized a $1.6 million foreign currency transaction loss and an immaterial foreign currency transaction loss for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023, respectively. Foreign currency transaction gains were $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Fair Value Measurements***

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurement* ("ASC 820"). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Level 1* – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Level 2* – Observable inputs (other than level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Level 3* – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

To the extent the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Certain non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, right of use assets, and property and equipment, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measures are considered to be within the Level 3 valuation hierarchy due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used. The Company has not recorded any impairment charges during any of the periods presented.

***Loss Per Share*** 

In accordance with FASB ASC 260, *Earnings Per Share*, the basic net loss per share attributable to Series A and Series B common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

**Klaviyo, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

Diluted net loss per share attributable to Series A and Series B common stockholders is computed in the same manner as basic net loss per share, as the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding would be antidilutive. See *Note 13. Loss Per Share* for further information.

***Impairment of Long-Lived Assets***

The Company periodically evaluates all long-lived assets or asset groups for impairment. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. There was no impairment recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

 **5. Property and Equipment, Net**

Property and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As of,** | **As of,** |
| | **December 31, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Capitalized internal-use software | $49430 | $26698 |
| Office equipment | 7630 | 4841 |
| Computer equipment | 11385 | 7027 |
| Furniture and fixtures | 14144 | 8052 |
| Leasehold improvements | 50488 | 46062 |
| Construction-in-progress | 9109 | 124 |
| Asset retirement cost |  | 643 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total property and equipment | 142186 | 93447 |
| Less accumulated depreciation and amortization | (61845) | (45247) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total property and equipment, net | $80341 | $48200 |

---

In the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment was approximately $18.6 million, $17.7 million, and $13.7 million, respectively. On January 31, 2025, the Company amended the lease agreement for its corporate headquarters located in Boston, Massachusetts which, among other things, extended the term of the lease to March 2033. Under the Company's accounting policy, the useful life of leasehold improvements is the lesser of the lease term and the useful life of the asset. As such, the extension of the lease represents a change in estimate of the useful life of the leasehold improvements within the corporate headquarters. The Company accounted for this change in the useful lives as a change in accounting estimate under *ASC 250 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections*, which were recorded prospectively upon execution of the lease amendment. This change in estimate resulted in a reduction of $5.7 million in depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and an immaterial impact on basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Series A and Series B common stockholders.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company capitalized $23.2 million, $14.9 million, and $7.0 million of internal-use software development costs, respectively. Of the $23.2 million internal-use software development costs that were capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2025, $5.2 million relates to software that is not yet in service. The Company recorded amortization expense associated with its capitalized internal-use software development costs of $9.5 million, $4.6 million, and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Amortization expense is included in cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

During fiscal year 2020, on the commencement date of the lease for the Company's Boston corporate headquarters, the Company established an ARO based on the present value of contractually required estimated future costs to remove long-lived assets at the termination or expiration of the lease and to return the space to its original condition. As of December 31, 2024, the ARO was included in other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. On January 31, 2025, the Company amended the lease agreement for its Boston corporate headquarters and, under the terms of the amendment, the Company was relieved of the obligation to return the space to its original condition. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company derecognized the ARO and recorded an immaterial gain for the difference between the Company's estimate of the ARO and the carrying value of the asset retirement cost, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

The Company may not be subject to an annual limitation on its NOL and research and development credit attributes as of December 31, 2025, but subsequent ownership changes may affect the limitation in future years.

The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2025 was an increase of $232.7 million, primarily as a result of the increase in research and development capitalization, federal research and development credits, and the generation of net operating losses. The net changes in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2024 was an increase of $55.1 million, primarily as a result of the increase in research and development capitalization and federal research and development credits offset by the utilization of net operating losses.

***Uncertain Tax Positions***

A reconciliation of the gross unrecognized tax benefits consists of the following (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning balance | $1334 | $— | $— |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross increases for tax positions taken in prior years | 11 | 1334 |  |
| Unrecognized tax benefits, ending balance | $1345 | $1334 | $— |

---

The unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025, if recognized, would not affect the effective income tax rate due to the valuation allowance that currently offsets the deferred tax assets.

The Company had no interest and penalties accrued related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions. All periods since inception are subject to examination in most jurisdictions.

On July 4, 2025, tax reform legislation included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant tax reforms, including the reinstatement of immediate expensing for domestic research and development expenditures, the option to claim 100% accelerated depreciation deductions on qualified property, and modifications in international tax provisions. The change to U.S. tax law enacted by the OBBBA resulted in an immaterial effect on the income tax provision due to the Company's valuation allowance and has been accounted for in the current period.

**10. Employee Benefit Plans**

The Company maintains a defined contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pretax basis, subject to legal limitations. Employees can designate the investment of their 401(k) accounts into several mutual funds. The Company does not allow investment in its common stock through the 401(k) plan. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company made contributions to the plan of $11.3 million, $11.2 million, and $7.4 million, respectively.

The Company contributes to defined contribution savings plans for its employees in the United Kingdom and Australia who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. The plans allow each participant from the United Kingdom and Australia to defer a percentage of their compensation, and the Company contributes an additional 5% and 12% of wages for employees

in the United Kingdom and Australia, respectively, on a monthly basis. The Company made contributions to the plans of $4.3 million, $2.9 million, and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

**11. Redeemable Common Stock, Common Stock, and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)** 

***Initial Public Offering***

On September 22, 2023, the Company completed its IPO of 19,200,000 shares of its Series A common stock at a price to the public of $30.00 per share. The Company sold 11,507,693 of such shares and certain existing stockholders sold an aggregate of 7,692,307 of such shares. The Company received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $320.1 million, after deducting approximately $17.7 million in underwriting discounts and commissions, and $7.4 million in offering-related expenses. In connection with the IPO, all shares of the Company's redeemable common stock automatically converted into 64,046,223 shares of Series B common stock. In connection with and immediately subsequent to the IPO, 21,233,074 shares of Series B common stock were converted to shares of Series A common stock. On October 19, 2023, the underwriters for the IPO exercised their option to purchase additional shares granted in connection with the IPO, with respect to 2,764,066 shares of Series A common stock of a possible 2,880,000 shares. The Company received no proceeds from this transaction, as the option was an option to purchase additional shares of Series A common stock from certain existing stockholders.

All RSUs granted to employees prior to the IPO vested upon the satisfaction of both a service condition and a liquidity event condition. These RSUs with both a service condition and liquidity event condition are collectively referred to as "Double-Trigger Awards" and are described in more detail within *Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation.*

***Redeemable Common Stock***

The Company issued 64,046,223 shares of common stock at various dates in 2019, 2020, and 2021 to select investors that were subject to redemption at fair value of common stock at the investor's option after November 6, 2029. In accordance with the SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within control of the Company require classification of the associated instrument outside of permanent equity.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into the 2021 Stock Purchase agreement. The Company issued and sold 10,365,017 shares of common stock to investors at a price of $33.38 per share, for an aggregate purchase price and gross proceeds of $346.0 million. At the time of the sale, 3,025,625 of the total shares issued allowed investors to acquire additional substantive rights including financial information rights, restrictive covenants, secondary refusal rights, right of co-sale, and right of redemption after November 6, 2029, at fair value. These shares were classified outside of permanent equity. The remaining 7,339,392 shares were classified in permanent equity as they did not contain the right of redemption after November 6, 2029.

Prior to the IPO, the Company determined that the redeemable shares were probable of becoming redeemable. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company elected to recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. The per-share redemption value is equal to the fair market value of a single share of the Company's common stock subject to a floor of the initial carrying value.

Immediately prior to the Company's IPO in September 2023, the redeemable common stock was accreted to the IPO issuance price of $30.00 per share. Upon the IPO, the redemption right of these shares was terminated and all shares of the Company's redeemable common stock automatically converted into 64,046,223 shares of Series B common stock. This transaction resulted in a reclassification of $1.9 billion in redeemable common stock to stockholder's equity including an increase to additional paid-in capital of $136.9 million and Accumulated Deficit of $1.8 billion to reverse accretion recorded to these accounts.

***Common Stock***

Immediately following the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the Company's IPO in September 2023, the Company filed its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which authorized a total of 3,000,000,000 shares of Series A common stock, 350,000,000 shares of Series B common stock, and 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. All shares of common stock then outstanding were reclassified as Series B common stock. The rights of the holders of Series A common stock and Series B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Series A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and is not convertible into any other shares of the Company's capital stock. Each share of Series B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and is convertible into one share of Series A common stock at any time. Shares of the Company's Series B common stock will also automatically convert into shares of Series A common stock upon certain transfers and other events. Upon the seventh anniversary of the Company's IPO, all outstanding shares of Series B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Series A common stock.

***Preferred Stock***

The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2025, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

***Common Stock Warrants***

On July 28, 2022, the Company granted warrants to purchase up to 15,743,174 shares of Series B common stock in connection with the collaboration agreement and strategic partnership with Shopify as compensation for marketing services. 25% of the shares subject to the warrants vested on the grant date, and the remaining 75% of the shares subject to the warrants vest quarterly in equal amounts until July 28, 2027. On September 22, 2023, upon the Company's IPO, the vesting of an additional 25% of the total number of warrants was accelerated, and the remaining unvested portion vests quarterly over the remaining vesting term. Vesting will cease, and any unvested portion of the warrants will be cancelled, in the event of a material breach or early termination of the collaboration agreement by Shopify. The exercise price is $0.01 per share, and the term of the warrants is 10 years. These common stock warrants are included as a component of additional paid-in capital within the Consolidated Balance Sheets upon vesting. The Company valued the warrants at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: fair value of common stock, a dividend yield of zero, contractual terms of 10 years, volatility of 55.00%, and a risk-free rate of 2.85%.

The following table summarizes the warrants activity during the year ended December 31, 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Number of Shares** | **Weighted Average Exercise Price** | **Weighted Average Remaining Life (years)** |
| Warrants outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 3788204 | $0.01 | 7.58 |
| Granted |  |  |  |
| Exercised | (1377528) | 0.01 | 7.10 |

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

***Restricted Stock***

In 2019, the Company permitted the purchase of 142,908 shares of restricted stock prior to vesting by an employee of the Company. These shares are restricted and subject to repurchase by the Company until the conditions for vesting are met. Upon termination of employment of the restricted stockholder, the Company has the right to repurchase, at the original purchase price, any unvested restricted shares. Accordingly, the Company recorded the proceeds from the issuance of restricted stock as a liability given the implicit repurchase feature. The Company reclassified an immaterial amount of restricted stock liability to stockholders' deficit upon vesting of restricted shares during the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the aggregate fair value of restricted stock that vested was $0.7 million. All restricted stock became fully vested during the year ended December 31, 2023.

***Stock Purchase and Investment Option***

On July 28, 2022, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement in connection with the collaboration agreement and strategic partnership with Shopify. Under the stock purchase agreement, the Company issued and sold 2,951,846 shares of common stock to Shopify at a price of $33.88 per share. The stock purchase agreement also granted Shopify an Investment Option, which allows Shopify to purchase an additional 15,743,174 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $88.93 per share. The Company allocated the common stock and Investment Option based on the relative fair value of each instrument. The Investment Option is exercisable at any time at Shopify's option until July 28, 2030. As of December 31, 2025, the Investment Option has not been exercised.

**12. Stock-Based Compensation** 

***Equity Incentive Plans***

On September 1, 2015, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") adopted the 2015 Plan. The Board or, at its sole discretion, a committee of the Board, is responsible for the administration of the 2015 Plan. As of December 31, 2025, outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan include stock options and RSUs. Generally, 2015 Plan awards vest or are exercisable into shares of Series B common stock and are immediately reclassified to shares of Series A common stock based upon the employee's conversion election made at the time of the IPO. All equity grants subsequent to the IPO are made pursuant to the 2023 Plan, which was approved by the Board effective as of September 18, 2023. The Board or, at its sole discretion, a committee of the Board, is responsible for the administration of the 2023 Plan. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's authorized common stock includes 74,700,704 shares of Series A common stock reserved for issuance of equity awards under the 2023 Plan, of which 55,563,432 shares are available for future grants.

The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of various types of stock-based compensation awards including, but not limited to, RSUs, incentive stock options ("ISOs"), non-qualified stock options ("NSOs," referred to collectively with ISOs as "Options") and restricted stock awards ("RSAs") to directors, consultants, employees, and officers of the Company. ISOs may only be granted to employees, and the exercise price thereon cannot be less than the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant or less than 110% of the fair value in the case of employees holding 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company. The exercise price on NSOs must be at least equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company has historically granted RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, and RSAs.

The 2023 Plan provides for the grants of various types of stock-based compensation awards including, but not limited to, RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, and RSAs. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company solely granted RSUs as further described below.

***Stock Options***

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

**Klaviyo, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

Options generally vest over 4 years with the first 25% of the award vesting upon the 12-month anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining 75% vesting monthly over the following 3 years. Grants of Options shall not be exercisable after expiration of 10 years from the date of grant or such shorter period specified in the associated award agreement. Options may not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and domestic relations orders. The 2015 Plan does not allow for the early exercise of Options. The Company did not grant any Options during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Option activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Number of Options** | **Weighted Average Exercise Price<br>(Per Share)** | **Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)** | **Aggregate Intrinsic Value** |
| Outstanding at January 1, 2025 | 25164415 | $0.29 | 1.21 | $1030511 |

---

The total intrinsic value of Options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $797.8 million, $177.7 million and $54.7 million, respectively.

***Restricted Stock Units***

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted RSUs to employees under the 2015 Plan and 2023 Plan. In general, RSUs granted under the 2015 Plan vest upon the satisfaction of both a service-based vesting condition and a performance-based vesting condition. Generally, the service-based vesting condition requires the grantee to remain an eligible participant, as that term is defined in the 2015 Plan, for a period of 4 years. Generally, RSUs vest quarterly over the entire 4-year period or vest 25% after 1 year, with the remainder vesting quarterly over the following 3 years. The performance-based vesting condition was satisfied upon the occurrence of the IPO. In general, RSUs granted after the IPO under the 2023 Plan vest upon the satisfaction of service-based vesting conditions only. These service-based vesting conditions are consistent with those under the 2015 Plan detailed above.

Restricted stock unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Number of Units** | **Weighted Average Grant Date<br>Fair Value** |
| Unvested and outstanding at January 1, 2025 | 17421450 | $28.33 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Granted | 8059711 | 32.82 |

***Employee Stock Purchase Plan***

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

**Klaviyo, Inc.**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

On August 24, 2023, the Board adopted the ESPP pursuant to which eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of their base compensation to purchase shares of the Company's Series A common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of (1) the fair market value of a share of the Company's Series A common stock at the beginning of the offering period and (2) the fair market value of a share of the Company's Series A common stock on the purchase date. The ESPP provides for 12-month offering periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of each year, or the next trading date thereafter. Each offering period consists of two six-month purchase periods. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has 10,670,780 shares of Series A common stock available for issuance pursuant to purchase rights granted to the Company's eligible employees under the ESPP. The ESPP provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2024, by the least of 6,200,000 shares of the Company's Series A common stock, 1% of the outstanding number of shares of the Company's Series A common stock and Series B common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares as determined by the administrator of the ESPP.

The fair value of employee options granted under the ESPP is based on a 15% purchase discount off the grant date quoted trading price of the Company's Series A common stock and is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Risk-free rate | 3.96% 5.33% | 4.79% - 5.33% |
| Expected term | 0.5 - 1.0 years | 0.5 - 1.0 years |
| Volatility | 45.90% - 60.32% | 45.90% - 64.12% |
| Expected dividends |  |  |

---

The interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rate at the date of grant with a maturity approximately equal to the expected term. The expected term is based on the term of the offering period. The expected volatility for the common stock is based on the average of the Company's historical volatility over the expected term of the award. The assumed dividend yield is based upon the Company's expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The fair value of the common stock is the closing price of the stock on the date the offering period starts.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP of $5.8 million and $4.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, $2.6 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the subsequent 6 months. The weighted average grant date fair value of ESPP awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $10.63 and $9.28 per share, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 462,681 shares of Series A common stock under the ESPP.

***Modifications***

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company modified one employee's stock-based awards to accommodate their employment transition by changing the timing of the service-based vesting condition of 121,969 RSUs. This resulted in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company provided nineteen terminated employees with accelerated vesting on the service-based vesting conditions of 42,781 RSUs. These modifications resulted in incremental stock-based compensation of $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company extended the expiration dates of four employees' Options. The extension of the expiration date impacted 1,004,667 granted Options, resulting in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company accelerated the vesting start dates of two employees' RSUs. The modification impacted 167,500 previously granted RSUs that were Double-Trigger awards in which the liquidity-based vesting condition was not considered probable at the date of modification. As the liquidity-based vesting condition was met upon the IPO, the impact of the modified RSUs is included in the total stock-based compensation recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023.

On April 10, 2023, the Company approved an amendment to the vesting schedule of 4,250,947 RSUs governed by the 2015 Plan. Specifically, the vesting schedule of these RSUs was amended to align with the Company's standard four quarterly vesting dates that were established on a prospective basis in June 2022. This modification impacted 657 grantees, and all RSUs that were modified were Double-Trigger awards in which the liquidity-based vesting condition was not considered probable at the date of modification. As the liquidity-based vesting condition was met upon the IPO, the impact of this modification is included in the total stock-based compensation recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 and is based on the fair value of the award on the date of modification.

On March 15, 2023, the Company announced a reduction in workforce that resulted in the termination of approximately 8% of the Company's full-time workforce (130 employees). As part of the reduction in workforce, the Company modified 608,698 previously granted Options and 64,301 previously granted RSUs. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred an incremental stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million related to the modification of Options. All RSUs that were modified were Double-Trigger awards in which the liquidity-based vesting condition was not considered probable at the date of modification. As the liquidity-based vesting condition was met upon the IPO, the impact of the modified RSUs is included in the total stock-based compensation recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 and is based on the fair value of the award on the date of modification.

***Stock-Based Compensation Expense***

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company capitalized $4.4 million, $3.6 million, and $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense related to services performed on capitalized internal-use software, respectively.

Stock-based compensation included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss is as follows (in thousands):

**13. Loss Per Share**

Basic net loss per share attributable to Series A and Series B common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss by the number of weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted net loss per share attributable to Series A and Series B common stockholders is determined by giving effect to all potential common equivalents during the reporting period, unless including them yields an antidilutive result, and is calculated using the treasury stock method. The Company considers its warrants, Investment Option, RSUs, Options, and shares to be issued under the ESPP as potential common equivalents, but excluded them from the computation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders in the periods presented, as their effect was antidilutive during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of Series A and Series B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each series of common stock and the resulting basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are, therefore, the same for both Series A and Series B common stock on both individual and combined basis.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Series A and Series B common stockholders for the periods presented (in thousands, except share and per share data):

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure**

None.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive officers and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officers and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

***Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting***

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) of the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. Management based its assessment on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting***

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended December 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

------

**<u>[**Table of Contents**](#id1aa5dd008db47b5bd7baa13ee996210_7)</u>**

***Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures***

Our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Klaviyo, Inc.

**Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Klaviyo, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 10, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance**

The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference herein to our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be filed with the SEC within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year.

***Code of Conduct and Ethics***

Our board of directors has adopted a code of conduct that applies to all our employees, officers, contractors, and directors, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers, Chief Financial Officer, and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of our code of conduct is posted on our website at investors.klaviyo.com under "Governance." We intend to disclose any amendments to our code of conduct, or waivers of its requirements, on our website or in filings under the Exchange Act.

***Insider Trading Policies and Procedures***

We have adopted an insider trading policy and related Rule 10b5-1 trading plan policy that are reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules, regulations, and New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

Our insider trading policy prohibits our officers, directors, employees, designated consultants, and their affiliated persons from trading in company securities while in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company. The policy also prohibits tipping (i.e., disclosing material nonpublic information about the Company to others who may trade of the basis of that information).

Under our insider trading policy, insiders may only trade in Company securities during open trading windows at a time when they do not possess material nonpublic information about the Company. We have also designated our executive officers, directors, and certain other designated employees as pre-clearance insiders who must receive approval before trading in our securities.

Our insider trading policy also expressly prohibits short sales; purchases or sales of puts, calls, or other derivative securities or hedging transactions; using company securities as collateral in a margin account; or pledging company securities as collateral for a loan.

Any waiver of the provisions of our insider trading policy requires approval of our Compliance Officer and all waivers are reported to our Audit Committee.

We have adopted an additional policy that governs when our directors, executive officers, and others may adopt written securities trading plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans. These plans are intended to take advantage of a safe harbor provided under SEC rules from liability for violating federal antifraud prohibitions that proscribe certain insider trading, including Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. A qualifying Rule 10b5-1 plan may only be entered into when the individual is not in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company and must authorize a broker other third-party administering the plan to buy or sell our securities on a periodic basis pursuant to parameters established by the director or executive officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from them. A director or executive officer may amend or terminate a Rule 10b5-1 plan in certain circumstances. Our policy provides that all Rule 10b5-1 plans must comply with SEC rules applicable to the Rule 10b5-1 safe harbor and provides additional requirements and limitations applicable to plans. Our directors and executive officers also may buy or sell additional shares outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they are not in possession of material nonpublic information, subject to compliance with the terms of our insider trading policy.

## Exhibit 4.2

**Exhibit 4.2**

**DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES REGISTERED** 

**PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934**

Klaviyo, Inc. has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act: our Series A common stock, $0.001 par value per share. References herein to the terms the "company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Klaviyo, Inc.

The following description summarizes certain important terms of our capital stock. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the applicable provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, in each case as currently in effect and as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, each of which has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, of which this Exhibit 4.2 forms a part, as well as by the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL. For a complete description of the matters that are summarized herein, you should refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and the applicable portions of the DGCL, each of which we encourage you to read carefully.

**General**

Our authorized capital stock consists of 3,000,000,000 shares of Series A common stock, $0.001 par value per share, 350,000,000 shares of Series B common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.

Our board of directors is authorized, without stockholder approval except as required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, to issue additional shares of our capital stock.

**Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock**

We have two series of authorized common stock: Series A common stock and Series B common stock. Other than as described below under the subsections titled "—Voting Rights" and "—Conversion", the rights of the holders of Series A common stock and Series B common stock are identical.

***Dividend Rights***

Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our Series A common stock and Series B common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our board of directors, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends, and then only at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine.

***Voting Rights***

Holders of our Series A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and holders of our Series B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share, on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of our Series A common stock and Series B common stock generally vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, unless otherwise required by the DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. If we were to seek to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation in a manner that alters or changes the powers, preferences or special rights of a series of a class of our capital stock in a manner that affected its holders adversely, but does not affect the entire class, the DGCL would require either holders of our Series A common stock or Series B common stock to vote separately as a single class to approve the proposed amendment.

------

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws establish a classified board of directors that is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only the directors in one class are subject to election by a plurality of the votes cast at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the directors in the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms.

***Conversion***

Each outstanding share of Series B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Series A common stock. In addition, each share of Series B common stock will convert automatically into one share of Series A common stock upon (i) any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain permitted transfers described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, including transfers to trusts solely for the benefit of the stockholder or their family members, and partnerships, corporations, and other entities exclusively owned by the stockholder or their family members or (ii) in the case of a stockholder who is a natural person, the death or incapacity of such stockholder; provided that in the case of Andrew Bialecki and Ed Hallen, or our Founders, (a) any transfer by a Founder (or such Founder's affiliate or affiliates) to another Founder (or such Founder's affiliate or affiliates) will not result in the automatic conversion of such shares of Series B common stock to shares of Series A common stock and (b) each share of Series B common stock held by such Founder shall automatically convert into one share of Series A common stock upon the date that is nine months following the death or incapacity of such Founder. Once converted into Series A common stock, the Series B common stock will not be reissued.

Each outstanding share of Series B common stock will convert automatically into one share of Series A common stock upon the date specified by affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B common stock, voting as a single class.

All outstanding shares of Series A common stock and Series B common stock will convert automatically into shares of a single series of common stock on the earlier of the date that is seven years from September 19, 2023, the date of the final prospectus for our initial public offering, or the date the holders of at least two-thirds of our Series B common stock elect to convert the Series B common stock to Series A common stock. The purpose of this provision is to ensure that following such conversion, each share of common stock will have one vote per share and the rights of the holders of all outstanding common stock will be identical. Once converted into a single series of common stock, the Series A common stock and Series B common stock may not be reissued.

***No Preemptive or Similar Rights***

Our Series A common stock and Series B common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights and are not subject to conversion (except as noted above), redemption or sinking fund provisions.

***Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions***

If we become subject to a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our Series A common stock and Series B common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

------

**Preferred Stock**

Our board of directors is authorized, without further action by our stockholders, subject to limitations prescribed by the DGCL, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series of such stock, and to fix the designations, powers, including voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of each series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, all to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of our company and might adversely affect the market price of our Series A common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Series A common stock and Series B common stock.

**Anti-Takeover Provisions**

Certain provisions of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which are summarized below, may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

***Delaware Law***

We are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A "business combination" includes mergers, asset sales or other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of our company.

***Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaw Provisions***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our board of directors or management team, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Dual-Series Stock*. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for a dual-series common stock structure, which provides our Founders, current investors, executives and employees with significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or our assets.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Board of Directors Vacancies*. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that vacant directorships, however occurring, including vacancies as a result of an increase in the size of our board of directors, may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. In addition, our board of directors has the exclusive right to set the number of directors constituting our board of directors. These provisions prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. These provisions make it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors and promote continuity of management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Classified Board*. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors, and further provides that directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock then entitled to vote at an election of directors. A third party may be discouraged from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us as it is more difficult and time consuming for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified board of directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders*. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that until the date that the outstanding shares of Series B common stock no longer represent a majority of the combined voting power of our Series A common stock and Series B common stock, or the Voting Threshold Date, our stockholders may take action by written consent only if such action is first approved or recommended by our board of directors. Following the Voting Threshold Date, our stockholders may not take action by written consent but may only take action at annual or special meetings of our stockholders. As a result, following the Voting Threshold Date, a holder controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to amend our amended and restated bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws. Our amended and restated bylaws further provide that special meeting of our stockholders may be called only by our board of directors, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or the ability of stockholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations*. Our amended and restated bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder's notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *No Cumulative Voting*. The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock*. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Exclusive Forum*. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any state law claims for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees, and stockholders to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, our amended and restated bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. These forum provisions may impose additional costs on stockholders, may limit our stockholders' ability to bring a claim in a forum they find favorable, and the designated courts may reach different judgments or results than other courts. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the federal forum provision for Securities Act claims will be enforced, which may impose additional costs on us and our stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Conflicts of Interest*. The DGCL permits corporations to adopt provisions renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the corporation or its officers, directors or stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by the DGCL, renounces any interest or expectancy that we have in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities that are from time to time presented to Summit Partners, L.P. or Accel Management Co.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

The Company shall employ the Executive and the Executive shall be employed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement commencing as of the Effective Date and continuing until such employment is terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof (the "<u>Term</u>").

The Executive shall serve as the Chief People Officer of the Company, and shall have such powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Chief Executive Officer (the "<u>CEO</u>"). The Executive shall devote the Executive's full working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may serve on other boards of directors or advisory boards, with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "<u>Board</u>"), or engage in religious, charitable or other community activities as long as such services and activities do not interfere with the Executive's performance of the Executive's duties to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.<u>Compensation and Related Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Base Salary</u>. The Executive's initial base salary shall be paid at the rate of $530,000.00 per year. The Executive's base salary shall be subject to periodic review by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "<u>Compensation Committee</u>"). The base salary in effect at any given time is referred to herein as "<u>Base Salary</u>." The Base Salary shall be payable in a manner that is consistent with the Company's usual payroll practices for its executive officers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Expenses</u>. The Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive during the Term in performing services hereunder, in accordance with the policies and procedures then in effect and established by the Company for its executive officers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Equity</u>. Subject to approval by the Board or a committee thereof, the Executive will receive a restricted stock unit ("<u>RSU</u>") award with an initial equity value of $16,000,000.00 ("<u>Initial Equity Value</u>") under the Company's 2023 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (as may be amended, the "<u>Plan</u>", and together with the applicable award agreement(s), collectively the "<u>Equity Documents</u>"), which will be subject to vesting pursuant to the terms of the Equity Documents. The number of RSUs the Executive receives will be determined by dividing the Initial Equity Value by the average closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange of one share of the Company's Series A common stock during the 30-day period ending on the effective date of grant, rounded down to the nearest whole share. As set forth in the Equity Documents, the RSU award shall vest in installments as follows: (i) 25% of the RSUs subject to the award will vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date (which shall be the Company's next scheduled vesting date following the Effective Date, i.e. the next to occur of February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15), (ii) thereafter, the remaining RSUs subject to the award will vest in 12 equal quarterly installments; provided that the Executive's Service Relationship (as defined in the Plan) has not terminated as of each such vesting date. If vested, the Company will deliver one share of Series A common stock for each vested RSU. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in any applicable option agreement or other stock-based award agreement, in the event that the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, in each case within the Change in Control Period (as defined below), all of the then-outstanding and unvested portion of the Executive's stock options and other stock-based awards that are subject solely to time-based vesting shall become fully vested and exercisable or nonforfeitable, as applicable, immediately as of the Date of Termination (as defined below) or, if later, as of the Change in Control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Sign-On Bonus.</u> Subject to the terms of the promissory note attached as Exhibit B, the Company will advance the Executive a one-time sign-on bonus (the "<u>Sign-On Bonus</u>") of $250,000.00. The Sign-On Bonus will be less applicable deductions and withholdings and will be advanced to the Executive within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, subject to the Executive's employment on the date of payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Relocation; Relocation Bonus.</u> The Executive agrees to relocate to within a commutable distance of the Company's Boston, Massachusetts office by December 31, 2024 (the "<u>Relocation Date</u>"). To assist in the Executive's relocation, a relocation bonus of $100,000, less applicable deductions and withholdings (the "<u>Relocation Bonus</u>") will be advanced to the Executive within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, subject to the Executive's employment on the date of payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive's employment terminates for Cause or without Good Reason (as such terms are defined below), in either case before the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Executive agrees to repay a prorated gross amount of the Relocation Bonus (calculated based on time in seat since the Effective Date) within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Incentive Compensation</u>. The Executive shall be eligible to receive cash incentive compensation as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee from time to time. Subject to the Company's adoption and implementation of an incentive compensation plan applicable to the Executive, the Executive's initial target annual incentive compensation shall be twenty (20) percent of the Executive's Base Salary; *provided* that any incentive compensation for calendar year 2024 will be prorated based on the Effective Date. The actual amount of the Executive's annual incentive compensation, if any, shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee, subject to the terms of any applicable incentive compensation plan that may be in effect from time to time. Except as otherwise provided herein, as may be provided by the Board or the Compensation Committee or as may otherwise be set forth in the applicable incentive compensation plan, the Executive must be

------

employed by the Company on the date such incentive compensation is paid in order to earn or receive any annual incentive compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.<u>Termination</u>. The Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Death</u>. The Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Disability</u>. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment if the Executive is disabled and unable to perform or expected to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive's then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12-month period. If any question shall arise as to whether during any such period the Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive's then existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, the Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or the Executive's guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Company's determination of such issue shall be binding on the Executive. Nothing in this Section 3(b) shall be construed to waive the Executive's rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 *et seq*. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 *et seq.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Termination by the Company for Cause</u>. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "<u>Cause</u>" shall mean any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)a good faith finding by the Board (A) of repeated and willful failure after written notice to perform the Executive's reasonably assigned duties for the Company, or (B) that the Executive has engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to a material matter affecting the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Executive's conviction of, or the entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere to, any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the Executive's breach of any material provision of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement or the Continuing Obligations (as defined below), which breach, if curable, is not cured (as determined by the Company in its good faith discretion) within 10 days of written notice thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)any willful misconduct or gross negligence by the Executive, in either case regardless of whether or not in the course of the Executive's employment, that would reasonably be expected to result in material injury or reputational harm to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates if the Executive were to continue to be employed in the same position;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)a material violation by the Executive of any of the Company's written employment policies, which breach, if curable, is not cured (as determined by the Company in its good faith discretion) within 10 days of written notice thereof; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)the Executive's failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Company to cooperate, or the willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such investigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Termination by the Company without Cause</u>. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executive's employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 3(c) or result from a failure of the Executive to meet the conditions set forth in Section 20 and/or enter into the Restrictive Covenants Agreement, and does not result from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 3(a) or (b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)a material diminution in the Executive's Base Salary except for across-the-board salary reductions based on the Company's financial performance similarly affecting all or substantially all senior management employees of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)a material change in the geographic location at which the Executive is required to regularly perform services for the Company, such that there is an increase of at least fifty (50) miles of distance to such location from the Executive's principal residence as of such change, excluding short-term business travel; and *provided further* that the requirement that the Executive relocate to the Boston area does not trigger this subsection; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)a material breach of this Agreement by the Company.

The "<u>Good Reason Process</u>" consists of the following steps:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a Good Reason Condition has occurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Executive notifies the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason Condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Company's efforts, for a period of not less than 30 days following such notice (the "<u>Cure Period</u>"), to remedy the Good Reason Condition;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason Condition continues to exist at the end of the Cure Period; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)the Executive terminates employment within 60 days after the end of the Cure Period.

If the Company cures the Good Reason Condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<u>Matters Related to Termination</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Notice of Termination</u>. Except for termination as specified in Section 3(a), any termination of the Executive's employment by the Company or any such termination by the Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "<u>Notice of Termination</u>" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Date of Termination</u>. "<u>Date of Termination</u>" shall mean: (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated by death, the date of death; (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated on account of disability under Section 3(b) or by the Company for Cause under Section 3(c), the date on which Notice of Termination is given; (iii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause under Section 3(d), the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or the date otherwise specified by the Company in the Notice of Termination; (iv) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 3(e) other than for Good Reason, 30 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or the date otherwise mutually agreed to by the Company and the Executive, and (v) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Executive under Section 3(e) for Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Accrued Obligations</u>. If the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or to the Executive's authorized representative or estate) (i) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Date of Termination, to be paid on the Date of Termination or within the time period required by applicable law; (ii) reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred, which shall be subject to and paid in accordance with the Company's expense reimbursement policy; and (iii) any vested benefits the Executive may have under any employee benefit plan of the Company through the Date of Termination, which vested benefits shall be paid and/or provided in accordance with the terms of such employee benefit plans (collectively, the "<u>Accrued Obligations</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Resignation of All Other Positions</u>.

The Executive shall execute any documents in reasonable form as may be requested to confirm or effectuate any such resignations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.<u>Severance Pay and Benefits Upon Termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason</u>. If the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Section 3(d), or the Executive terminates employment for Good

------

Reason as provided in Section 3(e), then, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, and subject to (I) the Executive signing a separation agreement and release in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company, which shall include, without limitation, a general release of claims against the Company and all related persons and entities that shall not release the Executive's rights under this Agreement or require the Executive to waive any rights to indemnification under Company bylaws, policies, insurance coverage or applicable law, a reaffirmation of all of the Executive's Continuing Obligations (but, for the avoidance of doubt, no new imposition of restrictive covenants) and shall provide that if the Executive breaches any of the Continuing Obligations, all payments of the Severance Amount shall immediately cease (the "<u>Separation Agreement</u>"), and (II) the Separation Agreement becoming irrevocable, all within 60 days after the Date of Termination (or such shorter period as set forth in the Separation Agreement):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to one (1) times the sum of the Executive's then-current Base Salary (or, to the extent applicable, the Executive's Base Salary in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, if higher) (the "<u>Severance Amount</u>"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)subject to the Executive's copayment of premium amounts at the applicable active employees' rate and the Executive's proper election to receive benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("<u>COBRA</u>"), the Company shall pay to the group health plan provider or the COBRA provider a monthly payment equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company until the earliest of (A) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Date of Termination; (B) the date that the Executive becomes eligible for group medical plan benefits under any other employer's group medical plan; or (C) the cessation of the Executive's health continuation rights under COBRA; *provided, however*, that if the Company determines that it cannot pay such amounts to the group health plan provider or the COBRA provider (if applicable) without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then the Company shall convert such payments to payroll payments directly to the Executive for the time period specified above. Such payments to the Executive shall be subject to tax-related deductions and withholdings and paid on the Company's regular payroll dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The amounts payable under this Section 5, to the extent taxable, shall be paid or commence to be paid within 60 days after the Date of Termination; *provided, however*, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payments to the extent they qualify as "non-qualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "<u>Code</u>"), shall be paid or commence to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.<u>Limitations and Definitions Regarding a Change in Control</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Additional Limitation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code, and the applicable regulations thereunder (the "<u>Aggregate Payments</u>"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the sum of all of the Aggregate Payments shall be $1.00 less than the amount at which the

------

Executive becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; *provided* that such reduction shall only occur if it would result in the Executive receiving a higher After Tax Amount (as defined below) than the Executive would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction. In such event, the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced in the following order, in each case, in reverse chronological order beginning with the Aggregate Payments that are to be paid the furthest in time from consummation of the transaction that is subject to Section 280G of the Code: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits; *provided* that in the case of all the foregoing Aggregate Payments all amounts or payments that are not subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) shall be reduced before any amounts that are subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)The determination as to whether a reduction in the Aggregate Payments shall be made pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the "<u>Accounting Firm</u>"), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)"<u>Change in Control</u>" shall mean a "Sale Event" as defined in the Company's 2023 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)"<u>Change in Control Period</u>" shall mean the period beginning on the date that is three (3) months prior to the consummation of the first event constituting a Change in Control and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the first event constituting a Change in Control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive's separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement or otherwise on account of the Executive's separation from service would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive's separation from service, or (B) the Executive's death. If any such delayed cash

------

payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes "non-qualified deferred compensation" under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive's termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive's "separation from service." The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement or the Restrictive Covenants Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.<u>Continuing Obligations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Restrictive Covenants Agreement</u>. As a condition of employment, the Executive is required to enter into the Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Solicitation Agreement attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u> (the "<u>Restrictive Covenants Agreement</u>"). For purposes of this Agreement, the obligations in this Section 8 and those that arise in the Restrictive Covenants Agreement and any other agreement relating to confidentiality, assignment of inventions, or other restrictive covenants shall collectively be referred to as the "<u>Continuing Obligations</u>."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Third-Party Agreements and Rights</u>. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executive's use or disclosure of information, other than confidentiality restrictions (if any), or the Executive's engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Company that the Executive's execution of this Agreement, the Executive's employment with the Company and the performance of the Executive's proposed

------

duties for the Company will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executive's work for the Company, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation</u>. During and after the Executive's employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company in (i) the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company, and (ii) the investigation, whether internal or external, of any matters about which the Company believes the Executive may have knowledge or information. The Executive's full cooperation in connection with such claims, actions or investigations shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to answer questions or to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive's employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive's performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 8(c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Relief</u>. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Company which might result from any breach by the Executive of the Continuing Obligations, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly**,** the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of the Continuing Obligations, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.<u>Consent to Jurisdiction</u>. The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of California; *provided* that upon the Executive's relocation to Massachusetts, the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall apply. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive (a) submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.<u>Integration</u>. This Agreement, together with the Equity Documents and the Restrictive Covenants Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.<u>Withholding; Tax Effect</u>. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company to make any payments to compensate the Executive for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments or benefits or for any deduction or withholding from any payment or benefit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.<u>Assignment; Successors and Assigns</u>. Neither the Executive nor the Company may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest in it, by operation of law or

------

otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other; *provided, however*, that the Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including the Restrictive Covenants Agreement) without the Executive's consent to any affiliate or to any person or entity with whom the Company shall hereafter effect a reorganization or consolidation, into which the Company merges or to whom it transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets; *provided, further* that if the Executive remains employed or becomes employed by the Company, the purchaser or any of their affiliates in connection with any such transaction, then the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement or any accelerated vesting pursuant to Section 2(d) of this Agreement solely as a result of such transaction. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Executive and the Company, and each of the Executive's and the Company's respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns. In the event of the Executive's death after the Executive's termination of employment but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due to the Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executive's beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to the Executive's death (or to the Executive's estate, if the Executive fails to make such designation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.<u>Enforceability</u>. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.<u>Survival</u>. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the Executive's employment to the extent necessary to effectuate the terms contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.<u>Waiver</u>. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.<u>Notices</u>. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, at its main offices, attention of the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.<u>Amendment</u>. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.<u>Effect on Other Plans and Agreements</u>. An election by the Executive to resign for Good Reason under the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a voluntary termination of employment by the Executive for the purpose of interpreting the provisions of any of the Company's benefit plans, programs or policies. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the rights of the Executive under the Company's benefit plans, programs or policies except that the Executive shall have no rights to any severance pay or benefits under any Company severance pay plan, offer letter or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all severance pay and benefits provided to the Executive pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement shall be reduced and/or offset by any amounts or benefits paid to the Executive to satisfy the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, 29

------

U.S.C. § 2101 et seq., as amended, and any applicable state plant or facility closing or mass layoff law (whether as damages, as payment of salary or other wages during an applicable notice period or otherwise). In the event that the Executive is party to an agreement with the Company providing for payments or benefits under such plan or agreement and under this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and the Executive may receive payment under this Agreement only and not both.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.<u>Governing Law</u>. This is a California contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. With respect to any disputes concerning federal law, such disputes shall be determined in accordance with the law as it would be interpreted and applied by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Executive's relocation to Massachusetts, all references in this paragraph shall be automatically modified to refer to Massachusetts and the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.<u>Conditions</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the effectiveness of this Agreement shall be conditioned on (i) the Executive's satisfactory completion of reference and background checks, if so requested by the Company, (ii) the Executive's submission of satisfactory proof of the Executive's legal authorization to work in the United States and (iii) the Executive's actual commencement of employment on the Effective Date or such other date as may be mutually agreed between the parties.

**<u>Exhibit A</u>**

**Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Solicitation Agreement**

I hereby represent to and agree with Klaviyo, Inc. as follows, in consideration of good and valuable consideration including my employment or continued employment by the Company, the sufficiency of which is agreed. This Confidentiality, Inventions, and Non-Solicitation Agreement **("Agreement")** is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its affiliated entities. As such, the term **"Company"** as it is used herein includes Klaviyo, Inc. and all other companies or entities currently related or affiliated, or which in the future become related or affiliated, to Klaviyo, Inc., including without limitation any divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, or other corporately related entities. Nothing about the definition of the term "Company" shall alter the fact I am employed by Klaviyo, Inc.

1. I understand that the Company is engaged in a continuous program of research, development, creation, production and marketing in connection with its customer data, analytics and marketing automation platform and its business generally, and other works, products, and services and that it is essential to the successful operation of the Company's business that complete secrecy be maintained with respect to Confidential Information (as defined below) and that my employment by the Company creates a relationship of confidence and trust with respect to Confidential Information. I acknowledge that Company's business is highly competitive, that this Confidential Information constitutes a valuable, special, and unique asset used by Company in its business, and that protection of such Confidential Information against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to Company.

3. I will exercise the highest degree of care to maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of all Confidential Information and at all times, both during my employment and after its termination, I will not, without the written consent of the Company: (a) disclose any Confidential Information to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)

with their work for Company); or (b) use Confidential Information except as may be necessary to perform my duties as an employee of the Company or as required by law. Upon termination of my employment with the Company (or upon earlier request by the Company), I will promptly deliver to the Company all documents and materials of any nature pertaining to my work with the Company, and I will not take with me any documents or materials or copies thereof containing any Confidential Information. I will take all reasonable precautions to prevent the inadvertent or accidental disclosure of Confidential Information. I understand that the unauthorized taking of the Company's copyrights, patents or trade secrets may subject me to civil and/or criminal penalties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), I understand I will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal, and I provide the Company advance notice. I understand that nothing contained in this Agreement, any other agreement with the Company, or any Company policy limits my ability, with or without notice to the Company, to: (i) file a charge or complaint with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (a **"Government Agency"),** including without limitation, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board or the Securities and Exchange Commission (the **"SEC");** (ii) communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including by providing non-privileged documents or information; (iii) exercise any rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, which are available to non-supervisory employees, including assisting co-workers with or discussing any employment issue as part of engaging in concerted activities for the purpose of mutual aid or protection; (iv) share compensation information concerning myself or others (provided that this does not permit me to disclose compensation information concerning others that I obtain because my job responsibilities require or allow access to such information); (v) discuss or disclose information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that I have reason to believe is unlawful; or (vi) testify truthfully in a legal proceeding. Any such communications and disclosures must be consistent with applicable law and the information disclosed must not have been obtained through a communication that was subject to the attorney-client privilege (unless disclosure of that information would otherwise be permitted consistent with such privilege or applicable law). I further understand that the Company will not limit any right I may have to receive an award pursuant to the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law or regulation for providing information to the SEC or any other Government Agency.

8. I agree that- unless previously discussed and agreed upon in writing by Klaviyo's Chief Executive or Chief Legal Officer - if in the course of my employment I incorporate into a Company product or process any Invention owned or conceived by me outside of my work for the Company, or in which I have an interest **("Employee Inventions and Works of Authorship"),** I agree to grant and hereby do grant the Company a nonexclusive, transferrable, sublicensable, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Employee Inventions and Works of Authorship as part of any such Company product or process. I will inform the Company in writing before incorporating any Employee Inventions and Works of Authorship into any Company Inventions and Works of Authorship.

9. I agree to cooperate fully with Company, both during and after my employment with Company, with respect to the procurement, maintenance, and enforcement of copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property rights (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to Employee Inventions and Works of Authorship. I will sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney, which Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Employee Inventions and Works of Authorship. I further agree that if Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any such papers, any executive officer of Company shall be entitled to execute any such papers as my agent and the attorney-in-fact, and I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint each executive officer of Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on my behalf, and to take any and all actions as Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Employee Inventions and Works of Authorship under the conditions described in this sentence.

10. As a matter of record, attached hereto as Exhibit B is a complete list of all inventions or improvements relevant to the subject matter of my employment by Company which have been made or conceived or first reduced to practice by me jointly or with others prior to employment with **Company that** I **desire to remove from the operation of this Agreement.** I **warrant this list is complete.** If **no such list is attached to this Agreement,** I **represent that** I **have no such inventions and improvements at the time of signing this Agreement.**

While employed, I will advise Klaviyo's legal department promptly in writing of any inventions that I believe meet the foregoing criteria (including as listed on **Exhibit A)** and that I have not disclosed on **Exhibit B** for a confidential determination.

11. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and my duties as an employee of the Company will not breach any invention assignment, proprietary information, noncompetition or other agreement with any former employer or other party. I represent that I will not bring with me to the Company or use in the performance of my duties for the Company any documents or materials of a former employer or other party that are not generally available to the public. I further represent that I will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any former employer or other party.

12. I agree that, during my employment with the Company: (a) I will not engage in any outside employment or business activity that is competitive with any of the Company's current

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)

or reasonably anticipated business activities, or which is otherwise related to the business in which the Company is now involved or subsequently becomes involved, except with the Company's advance consent; and (b) I will not engage in any other activities which conflict with my obligations to the Company. I will advise a member of Company management at such time as any activity of either the Company or another business presents me with a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest as an employee of the Company. I will take whatever action is requested of me by the Company to resolve any conflict or appearance of conflict which it finds to exist.

13. To protect the Company's Confidential Information (which I have or will have access to and/or have participated in or will participate in creating and developing) and to safeguard the Company's relationship with its employees, customers and business partners, as well as to protect other important business interests, I hereby agree that while I am employed by the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination or cessation of such employment (for any reason or no reason, whether voluntary or involuntary), I will not directly or indirectly: (a) either alone or in association with others use the Company's trade secrets to solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to divert or take away the business or patronage of any of the actual, potential, or prospective clients, customers, business partners, or investors of Company which were contacted, solicited, or served by Company by me or using Confidential Information or trade secrets during the twelve (12) month period prior to my termination or cessation of employment; or (b) either alone or in association with others solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of Company to terminate their employment or other engagement with Company; provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the recruitment of any individual whose employment or other engagement with Company has been terminated for a period of six (6) months or longer. I agree that in the event of my breach of this Paragraph 13, the restricted period shall be extended by at least an amount of time reflecting the period during which I was in breach of these non-solicitation restrictions.

14. I hereby authorize the Company to notify others, including, without limitation, vendors, customers of the Company and my future employers, of the terms of this Agreement and my responsibilities hereunder.

15. I acknowledge and agree that (i) the Company's business is highly competitive, the secrecy of the Confidential Information (as defined herein) is of the utmost important to Company, and I will learn and use Confidential information in performing work for the Company; (ii) my position may require me to establish goodwill for the Company with past, present, and prospective clients, customers, investors, vendors, suppliers, and business partners of the Company and such goodwill is extremely important to the Company's success; and (iii) all good will established by me with past, present and prospective clients, customers, investors, vendors suppliers, distributors, business partners and employees of the Company on behalf of the Company, as well as all client or customer account, belong to the Company and not to me. I further understand the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are intended to protect the Company's legitimate business interest in its Confidential Information, and established relationships and goodwill, and I agree and acknowledge that the restrictions in this agreement are no broader than necessary to protect the Company's interest in its trade secrets, Confidential Information, and/or goodwill.

16. I understand and agree that, given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that would result to Company upon unauthorized disclosure, use, or transfer of Confidential Information, as well as the nature of the Company's established goodwill with its customers and employees, monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any violation or threatened violation of this Agreement. I agree that in such event, and in addition to any other relief or remedies to which the Company is entitled, the Company shall have the right to obtain

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)

specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief without proving actual monetary damages and shall have the right to recover the Company's reasonable attorney's fees and court costs expended in connection with any litigation instituted to enforce this Agreement. I agree that Company's right to an injunction specifically includes the right to inspect and analyze any electronic devices on which I stored or transmitted Company information, pursuant to a reasonable forensic protocol. I further acknowledge that the Company would not permit me to access its Confidential Information or goodwill but for the fact that I have undertaken the obligations set forth in this Agreement.

17. I understand and agree that I will remain bound by this Agreement throughout my employment with the Company. I understand and agree that my obligations under this Agreement will not be diminished or altered by material or immaterial changes to my role or duties, including but not limited to job title, job duties, pay, transfer to a new position, equity interest, or break in service after signing of this Agreement. I expressly consent to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate to whose employ I may be transferred without the necessity that this Agreement be re-signed at the time of such transfer.

18. I understand and agree that this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California; *provided* that upon my relocation to Massachusetts, Massachusetts law shall apply. I understand and agree that in an action for breach of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party will be liable to the prevailing party for the prevailing party's reasonable costs and fees related to the breach, including attorneys' fees, forensic technologists' fees, and expert witness fees.

19. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law. Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, or for any other reason whatsoever, such provision shall be construed and enforced by limiting and reducing the provision so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear just as if such limited or reduced provision had been set forth in this Agreement originally. This Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment for any reason and the assignment of this Agreement by the Company to any successor-in-interest or other assignee and shall be binding upon my heirs and legal representatives.

20. I understand that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or obligate the Company to employ me for any stated period of time.

21. I understand and agree that no failure or delay by Company in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder. My obligations under this Agreement are independent of any obligation, contractual or otherwise, the Company has to me. The Company's breach of any such obligation shall not be a defense against the enforcement of this Agreement or otherwise limit my obligations under this Agreement.

22. This Agreement supplements and does not supersede any other confidentiality, assignment of inventions or restrictive covenant agreement between the Company and me. To the extent that this Agreement addresses other subject matters, this Agreement supersedes any other agreements between the Company and me with respect to such subject matters. No modification, renewal, extension, waiver, or termination or superseding of this Agreement or any

------

of the provisions herein contained will be binding upon me or Company unless made in a writing and signed by an authorized officer of Company and me. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement and any other contract to which Company or I are already parties, the Company will be provided with cumulative benefits where possible, and otherwise, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

23. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one Agreement. Signatures obtained by facsimile or electronically (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) shall be deemed originals and shall be binding.

24. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date executed. This Agreement may not be modified or terminated, in whole or part, except in writing signed by an authorized representative of the Company.

I acknowledge the following:

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH IT IMPOSES UPON ME WITHOUT RESERVATION. NO PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO INDUCE ME TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT. I SIGN THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY.

**<u>Exhibit A</u>**

I have been notified and understand the terms of this Agreement requiring disclosure and assignment of inventions to Klaviyo will be interpreted to comply with applicable state laws including:

**California:** This provision complies with Section 2870 of the California Labor Code which provides that the requirement to assign "shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: (1) [r]elate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or (2) [r]esult from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

**Excluded Inventions and Original Works of Authorship**

I understand that listing a project or an invention here does not mean that Klaviyo is granting me permission to continue working on the project or invention. This is only a listing of inventions or original works of authorship done prior to my employment with Klaviyo. Return this document to your recruiter prior to signing your offer letter only if you have an invention to disclose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• I have inventions or projects I would like to exclude. They are listed below.

**EXHIBIT B FAQ**

Hey future Klaviyo! Congratulations on your job offer! As a condition of your employment, you are required to sign the Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Solicitation Agreement ("CINA"). We've tried to anticipate your questions about the CINA in the FAQs below, but you can always reach out to your recruiter if you need more help.

**What is the Exhibit B form?**

The Exhibit B is a listing of inventions or original works of authorship done by you prior to your anticipated employment with Klaviyo. We ask you to provide this so we can better understand the projects you are working on and how they might relate to the work you will be doing at Klaviyo, or that may otherwise impact your work for Klaviyo.

Listing a project or an invention on the Exhibit B **does not** mean Klaviyo is granting you permission to continue working on the project or invention. That's a discussion for you, your hiring manager and/or Klaviyo's Legal Compliance Team.

**Where can I get more clarification on what to list on my Exhibit B?**

Check out Paragraph 10 of the Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Solicitation Agreement.

**Can you help me fill out my Exhibit B or tell me what I should put on it?**

Unfortunately, no. The Exhibit B is a tool for you to tell Klaviyo what inventions, discoveries, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets you personally have any right, title or interest to. It is up to you to look at the language in Paragraph 10 and determine what should be listed and how detailed your list should be. We recommend consulting with your own legal counsel if you have specific questions about how to list your items.

**Should I only list things that I think relate to Klaviyo's business?**

If you aren't sure if Klaviyo's business relates to an item you are considering listing, consider listing the item to be on the safe side so it is clear that you own the item and that you don't want to assign it to Klaviyo.

**I'm listed as an inventor on a patent at my previous company. Should I include that?**

The Exhibit B is for you to list any items to which you personally have any right, title or interest. If you are subject to a Confidentiality Agreement that would prevent you from disclosing the excluded inventions in detail, we provide a separate area to more generally disclose that information without details that could violate an NDA.

**Does listing an item on the Exhibit B give me permission to continue working on it? What if it's on my own time outside of work?**

------

**I don't have anything to list on my Exhibit B, do I still have to sign it?**

If you are sure you have nothing to list, leave the table blank and check "no inventions or improvements" on the Exhibit.

**I need to attach more pages to my Exhibit B. How do I do that?**

If you don't have enough space to include all of your inventions, email your recruiter with an attached file instead.

**What do I do if I forgot to list an invention that belongs to me on Exhibit B?**

You should contact your recruiter who will work with Klaviyo's Legal Team to determine whether it is appropriate to amend your Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Solicitation Agreement.

**I've completed my Exhibit B and there is a project I want to continue working on in my spare time while at Klaviyo. What should I do?**

Klaviyo celebrates entrepreneurship. It is fundamental to who we are. We don't prohibit our employees ("Klaviyos") from working on all side hustles. However, the type of activity you engage in (including, but not limited to working on inventions, self-employment and/or outside employment), must not create a conflict of interest under our Code of Conduct or Klaviyo's Conflicts of Interest Policy or interfere with your duties and responsibilities to Klaviyo. A conflict can occur due to the nature of the outside business (e.g., working for a competitor) or because the outside work overlaps with work Klaviyo is doing now or has roadmapped for the future. If you have questions about potential conflict situations, you should raise them with your recruiter so they can flag it to the Legal Compliance Team.

**Working with Klaviyo's Legal Team**

We like to think we're the friendliest legal team you'll ever meet, but it's important for you to know that Klaviyo's legal team is charged with protecting Klaviyo's interests and provides legal advice and counsel only to Klaviyo and its employees in their capacity as agents for Klaviyo. In other words, even though you've been offered a job at Klaviyo, when you have questions about your individual interests as they relate to Klaviyo, you'll need your own attorney for advice and counsel - Klaviyo's attorneys can't help you with that.

**<u>Exhibit B</u>**

**Sign-On Bonus Promissory Note**

Terms capitalized but not defined in this "<u>Note</u>" will have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Employment Agreement to which this Exhibit is appended.

For value received, the Executive promises to pay to the order of the Company at such other place as may be designated by the Company, the principal sum of $250,000. This amount represents an advance of unearned wages (referred to as the Sign-On Bonus) by the Company to the Executive. The Sign-On Bonus will be earned on a prorated daily basis over the course of one year beginning on the Effective Date. If Employee resigns from the Company without Good Reason or is terminated from employment for Cause in either case within one (1) year of the Effective Date, the Executive understands that they are responsible for repaying a prorated amount of the Sign-On Bonus based on the number of days the Executive was engaged in full-time employment with the Company, and that the Sign-On Bonus unearned advance(s) shall become immediately due and payable on the Date of Termination.

If the Executive completes 12 months of full-time employment with the Company, or if the Executive is terminated from employment without Cause or resigns for Good Reason, repayment obligation under this Note is considered discharged in full.

In the event this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or in the event that any legal action is instituted on this Note, or any legal action is taken with respect to a default, the prevailing party shall be entitled to the payment by the other party of all expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.

Unless otherwise required by law, this Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts. Any provision of this Note which is deemed unenforceable shall not affect the validity of any other provision herein.

By the Executive's signature below, the Executive executes this Note as of the date indicated.

**KLAVIYO, INC.**

**NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY**

The purpose of this Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the "**Policy**") of Klaviyo, Inc. (the "**Company**") is to provide a total compensation package that enables the Company to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, high-caliber directors who are not employees or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries ("**Outside Directors**"). This Policy will become effective as of the effective time of the registration statement for the Company's initial public offering of its equity securities (the "**Effective Date**"). In furtherance of the purpose stated above, all Outside Directors shall be paid compensation for services provided to the Company as Outside Directors as set forth below:

<u>Cash Retainers</u>

<u>Annual Retainer for Board Membership</u>: $37,000 for general availability and participation in meetings and conference calls of our Board of Directors, to be paid quarterly in arrears, pro-rated based on the number of actual days served by the director during such calendar quarter. No additional compensation will be paid for attending individual meetings of the Board of Directors.

|:---|:---|
| <u>Additional Annual Retainer for Lead Independent Director:</u> | $21000 |
| <u>Additional Annual Retainers for Committee Membership:</u> |  |

| Compensation Committee member: | $8500 |
| Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair: | $10000 |
| Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee member: | $5000 |

---

Chair and committee member retainers are in addition to retainers for members of the Board of Directors. No additional compensation will be paid for attending individual committee meetings of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Outside Director may elect, prior to the beginning of each calendar year, to receive any applicable retainer in the form of fully vested shares of common stock of the Company in lieu of cash, with a Value (as defined below) equal to the applicable retainer, provided, that, such shares of common stock

------

shall be granted on the same schedule as the annual retainer is to be paid (i.e., quarterly in arrears, and pro-rated based on the number of actual days served by the director during such calendar quarter), subject to the Outside Director's continued service as a member of the Board of Directors through each such date.

<u>Equity Retainers</u>

All grants of equity retainer awards to Outside Directors pursuant to this Policy will be nondiscretionary and will be made in accordance with the following provisions, subject to approval by the Board:

<u>Initial Award</u>: Upon his or her initial election to the Board of Directors, each Outside Director will receive an initial, one-time restricted stock unit award (the "**Initial Award**") with a Value of $400,000, which shall vest in equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant, provided, however, that all vesting shall cease if the director resigns from the Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting. This Initial Award applies only to Outside Directors who are first elected to the Board of Directors subsequent to the Effective Date.

<u>Annual Award</u>: On each date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company following the Effective Date (the "**Annual Meeting**"), each continuing Outside Director, other than a director receiving an Initial Award, will receive an annual restricted stock unit award (the "**Annual Award**") with a Value of $225,000, which shall vest in full upon the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date of grant or (ii) the date of the next Annual Meeting; provided, however, that all vesting shall cease if the director resigns from the Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting.

<u>Value</u>: For purposes of this Policy, "**Value**" means the product of (A) the average closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other market on which the Company's common stock is then principally listed) of one share of the Company's common stock over the trailing 30-day period ending on the grant date, and (B) the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such award.

<u>Acceleration</u>: All outstanding Initial Awards and Annual Awards held by an Outside Director shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable upon a Sale Event (as defined in the Company's 2023 Stock Option and Incentive Plan) or upon such Outside Director's death or permanent disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code).

------

<u>Expenses</u>

The Company will reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Outside Directors in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof.

<u>Maximum Annual Compensation</u>

The aggregate amount of compensation, including both equity compensation and cash compensation, paid by the Company to any Outside Director in a calendar year for services as an Outside Director period shall not exceed $750,000; provided, however, that such amount shall be $1,000,000 for the calendar year in which the applicable Outside Director is initially elected or appointed to the Board of Directors; (or such other limits as may be set forth in Section 3(d) of the Company's 2023 Stock Option and Incentive Plan or any similar provision of a successor plan). For this purpose, the "amount" of equity compensation paid in a calendar year shall be determined based on the grant date fair value thereof, as determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board ("**FASB**") Accounting Standards Codification ("**ASC**") Topic 718 or its successor provision, but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions.

## Exhibit 19.1

**Exhibit 19.1**

**KLAVIYO, INC.**

**INSIDER TRADING POLICY**

Klaviyo, Inc. (the "***Company***") has adopted the following policy and procedures for securities trading by Company directors and employees (our "***Insider Trading Policy***"). Our Insider Trading Policy is intended to prevent the misuse of material nonpublic information, insider trading in securities, and the potentially severe consequences associated with violations of insider trading laws. It is your obligation to review, understand, and comply with this Insider Trading Policy and applicable laws. Our Board of Directors has approved this Insider Trading Policy, and has appointed the Company's Chief Legal Officer as the Company's Compliance Officer (with their designees, the "***Compliance Officer***") to administer the policy and to be available to answer your questions. Please contact the Compliance Officer at preclearance@klaviyo.com if you have any questions regarding the Insider Trading Policy.

**PART I. OVERVIEW**

***A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who Must Comply?***

This Insider Trading Policy applies to all of our officers, employees and members of our Board of Directors, including anyone employed by or acting as a director of any of the Company's subsidiaries (collectively, we will refer to these individuals as "***Insiders***"), as well as any other individuals whom the Compliance Officer may designate as Insiders because they have access to material nonpublic information about the Company.

In addition, all of our directors, officers, employees and other designated individuals must comply with the Trading Procedures included in Part II of this Insider Trading Policy (the "***Trading Procedures***"). Please note that all Insiders are prohibited from trading in Company Securities outside of the quarterly trading windows established in Part II, Sections (A)(1) and (A)(2) below and are prohibited from engaging in the transactions described in Part II, Section (A)(3).

The Trading Procedures provide rules for when Insiders can trade in our securities and explain the process for mandatory pre-clearance of proposed trades for those persons identified by the Compliance Officer as "***Designated Insiders***". You will be notified if you are considered to be a Designated Insider. The Compliance Officer retains the discretion to modify the applicability of the Part II Trading Procedures in their discretion from time to time.

This Insider Trading Policy and the Trading Procedures also apply to the following persons ("***Affiliated Persons***"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• your "***Family Members***" ("Family Members" are (a) your spouse or domestic partner, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings and in-laws who reside in the same household as you, (b) your children or your spouse's children who do not reside in the same household as you but are financially dependent on you, (c) any of your other family members who do not reside in your household but whose transactions are directed by you, and (d) any other individual over whose account you have control and to whose financial support you materially contribute. Materially contributing to financial support would include, for example, paying an individual's rent, but not merely paying a phone bill.);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all trusts, family partnerships and other types of entities formed for your benefit or for the benefit of a member of your family and over which you have the ability to influence or direct investment decisions concerning securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all persons who execute trades on your behalf; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all investment funds, trusts, retirement plans, partnerships, corporations and other types of entities over which you have the ability to influence or direct investment decisions concerning securities; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Trading Procedures do not apply to any such entity that engages in the investment of securities in the ordinary course of its business (e.g., an investment fund or partnership) if the entity has established its own insider trading controls and procedures in compliance with applicable securities laws and it (or an affiliated entity) has represented to the Company that its affiliated entities: (a) engage in the investment of securities in the ordinary course of their respective businesses; (b) have established insider trading controls and procedures in compliance with securities laws; and (c) are aware the securities laws prohibit any person or entity who has material nonpublic information concerning the Company from purchasing or selling securities of the Company or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell securities. For avoidance of doubt, this Insider Trading Policy and the Trading Procedures shall not apply to either of (i) Summit Partners, L.P. or (ii) Accel Management Co. Inc. (in each case, including their respective affiliated investment funds).

You are responsible for ensuring compliance with this Insider Trading Policy, including the Trading Procedures contained herein, by all of your Affiliated Persons.

***B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What is Prohibited by this Insider Trading Policy?***

You and your Affiliated Persons are prohibited from engaging in insider trading and from trading in securities in violation of this Insider Trading Policy. "***Insider trading***" is (1) trading (buying or selling) the securities of a company whether for your account or for the account of another, while in the possession of material nonpublic information (see definition below) about that company or (2) disclosing material nonpublic information about a company to others who may trade on the basis of that information. Insider trading can result in criminal prosecution, jail time, significant fines and public embarrassment for you and the Company.

**Prohibition on Trading in Company Securities**

When you are in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company, whether positive or negative, you are prohibited from trading (whether for your account of for the account of another) in the Company's securities, which include common stock, restricted stock units, options to purchase common stock, any other type of securities that the Company may issue (such as preferred stock, convertible debentures, warrants and exchange-traded options), and any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of the Company's securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of the Company's securities, except for trades made pursuant to plans approved by the Compliance Officer or their designee in accordance with this policy that are intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "***Exchange Act***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2

------

The trading prohibitions in this Insider Trading Policy do <u>not</u> apply to: (1) an exercise of a stock option when payment of the exercise price is made in cash or (2) the withholding by the Company of shares of stock upon vesting of restricted stock, upon settlement of restricted stock units, or upon the exercise of options granted under the ESPP (as defined below), in either case, to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements if (a) such withholding is required by the applicable plan or award agreement or (b) the election to exercise such tax withholding right was made by the Insider in compliance with the Trading Procedures or (3) mandatory, non-discretionary sales of shares of stock in accordance with the Company's applicable equity award plans and agreements, including in connection with the vesting of restricted stock, upon settlement of restricted stock units, or upon the exercise of options granted under the ESPP, in each case, solely to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements.

The trading prohibitions in this Insider Trading Policy <u>do</u> apply, however, to the use of outstanding Company securities to pay part or all of the exercise price of a stock option, any net option exercise, any exercise of a stock appreciation right, share withholding, any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option, and any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option.

**Prohibition on Tipping**

Providing material nonpublic information about the Company to another person who may trade or advise others to trade on the basis of that information is known as "***tipping***" and is illegal. You are prohibited from providing material nonpublic information about the Company to a friend, relative, or anyone else who might buy or sell a security or other financial instrument on the basis of that information, whether or not you intend to or actually do realize a profit (or any other benefit) from such tipping. Additionally, you are prohibited from recommending to any person that such person engage in or refrain from engaging in any transaction involving the Company's securities, or otherwise give trading advice concerning the Company's securities, if you are in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company.

**Prohibition on Trading in Securities of Other Companies**

This policy's prohibitions against insider trading and tipping also apply to trading in securities of other companies, including the Company's customers, suppliers, partners and other enterprises with which we are working (such as when negotiating an acquisition, investment or other transaction that could be material to the other company). Whenever, during the course of your service to or employment by the Company, you become aware of material nonpublic information about another company, including any confidential information that is reasonably likely to affect the market price of that company's securities (for example, discussions of licensing a product or acquiring that other company), neither you nor your Affiliated Persons may trade in any securities of that company, give trading advice about that company, tip or disclose that information, pass it on to others, or engage in any other action to take advantage of that information.

This policy also prohibits so-called "***shadow trading***." Shadow trading would occur if you trade in the securities of another company (such as a competitor or supplier) after becoming aware of material nonpublic information about us, other companies in our industry, or industry trends that we are experiencing or are expected to experience.

If your work regularly involves handling or discussing confidential information of one of our partners, suppliers or customers, you should consult with the Compliance Officer or their designee before trading in any of that company's securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3

------

**Duration of Trading Prohibitions**

These trading prohibitions continue whenever and for as long as you know or are in possession of material nonpublic information. Remember, anyone scrutinizing your transactions will be doing so after the fact, with the benefit of hindsight. As a practical matter, before engaging in any transaction, you should carefully consider even the appearance of improper insider trading and how enforcement authorities and others might view the transaction in hindsight.

This Insider Trading Policy applies to you and your Affiliated Persons so long as you are associated with the Company. If you leave the Company for any reason, this Insider Trading Policy, including, if applicable, the Trading Procedures described in Part II, will continue to apply to you and your Affiliated Persons until the later of: (1) the first trading day following the public release of earnings for the fiscal quarter in which you leave the Company or (2) the first trading day after any material nonpublic information known to you has become public or is no longer material.

***C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What is Material Nonpublic Information?***

This Insider Trading Policy prohibits you from trading in a company's securities if you are in possession of information about the company that is both "*material*" and "*nonpublic*." If you have a question whether certain information you are aware of is material or has been made public, you should consult with the Compliance Officer or their designee.

**"Material" Information**

Information about our Company or any other company is "material" if it could reasonably be expected to affect the investment decisions of a stockholder or potential investor or if disclosure of the information could reasonably be expected to significantly alter the total mix of information in the marketplace about us or any other company. We speak mostly in this Insider Trading Policy about determining whether information about us is material and nonpublic, but the same analysis applies to information about other companies that would preclude you from trading in their securities.

In simple terms, material information is any type of information that could reasonably be expected to affect the market price of our securities. Both positive and negative information may be material. While it is not possible to identify all information that would be deemed "material," the following items are examples of the types of information that could be material:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• projections of future earnings or losses, or other earnings guidance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quarterly financial results that are known but have not been publicly disclosed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential restatements of the Company's financial statements, changes in auditors or auditor notification that the Company may no longer rely on an auditor's audit report;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pending or proposed corporate mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, joint ventures or dispositions of significant assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in senior management or members of our Board of Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant actual or threatened litigation or governmental investigations or major developments in such matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cybersecurity or data privacy risks and incidents, including the discovery of significant vulnerabilities or breaches;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant developments regarding our platform, products, customers, partners, suppliers, orders, offerings, contracts or financing sources (e.g., the acquisition or loss of a contract);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in dividend policy, declarations of stock splits or stock buybacks, or proposed securities offerings or other financings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential defaults under our credit agreements or indentures (if any) or potential material liquidity issues; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• bankruptcies or receiverships.

The above items will not always be material, and by including the list above, the Company does not mean to imply that each of these items above is *per se* material, or that this list is comprehensive. For example, some new products or contracts may clearly be material while others may not be. Furthermore, the Company cannot create an exclusive list of events and information that have a higher probability of being considered material. No "bright-line" standard or list of items can adequately address the range of situations that may arise; information and events should be carefully considered in terms of their materiality to the Company.

**"Nonpublic" Information**

Material information is "nonpublic" if it has not been disseminated in a manner making it available to investors generally.

To demonstrate that information is public, one must be able to point to some fact that establishes that the information has become publicly available, such as the filing of a report with the SEC, the distribution of a press release, publishing the information on our website or posting on social media if those are regular ways we communicate with investors, or by other means that are reasonably designed to provide broad public access. Before a person with material nonpublic information can trade, the market must have adequate time to absorb the information that has been disclosed. For the purposes of this Insider Trading Policy, information will be considered public after the completion of one full day of trading following our public release of the information. For that purpose, a full day of trading means a session of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange ("***NYSE***") between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such earlier closing time as has been set by exchange rules) has occurred.

For example, if the Company publicly discloses material nonpublic information of which you are aware before trading begins on a Tuesday, the first time you can buy or sell Company securities is the opening of the market on Wednesday. However, if the Company publicly discloses material information after trading begins on a Tuesday, the first time that you can buy or sell Company securities is the opening of the market on Thursday.

***D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What are the Penalties for Insider Trading and Noncompliance with this Insider Trading Policy?***

Both the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "***SEC***") and the national securities exchanges, through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("***FINRA***"), investigate and are very effective at detecting insider trading. The U.S. government pursues insider trading violations vigorously, successfully prosecuting, for example, trading by employees in foreign accounts, trading by family members and friends of insiders, and trading involving only a small number of shares.

The penalties for violating rules against insider trading can be severe and include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• forfeiting any profit gained or loss avoided by the trading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of the loss suffered by the persons who, contemporaneously with the purchase or sale of securities that are subject of a violation, have purchased or sold securities of the same class;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of criminal penalties of up to $5,000,000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of civil penalties of up to three times the profit made or loss avoided;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• loss of ability to be a director or officer of a publicly-traded company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• imprisonment for up to 20 years.

The Company and/or the supervisors of the person engaged in insider trading may also be required to pay civil penalties or fines of $2 million or more, up to three times the profit made or loss avoided, as well as criminal penalties of up to $25,000,000, and could under some circumstances be subject to private lawsuits.

Violation of this Insider Trading Policy or any federal or state insider trading laws may subject you to disciplinary action by the Company, including termination of your employment or other relationship with the Company. The Company reserves the right to determine, in its own discretion and on the basis of the information available to it, whether this Insider Trading Policy has been violated. The Company may determine that specific conduct violates this Insider Trading Policy whether or not it also violates the law. It is not necessary for the Company to await the filing or conclusion of a civil or criminal action against an alleged violator before taking disciplinary action.

***E.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How Do You Report a Violation of this Insider Trading Policy?***

If you have a question about this Insider Trading Policy, including whether certain information you are aware of is material or has been made public, you should consult with the Compliance Officer. In addition, if you violate this Insider Trading Policy or any federal or state laws governing insider trading or know of any such violation by any director or employee of the Company, you should report the violation immediately to the Compliance Officer. You can also report a violation through the Company's whistleblower hotline number at +1 (833) 626-1515 or online at klaviyo.ethicspoint.com.

**PART II. TRADING PROCEDURES**

***A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Special Trading Restrictions Applicable to Insiders***

In addition to needing to comply with the restrictions on trading in our securities (and the securities of other companies) set forth above, Insiders and their Affiliated Persons are subject to the following special trading restrictions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Trading by Insiders Except During Open Trading Windows**. 

The announcement of the Company's quarterly financial results almost always has the potential to have a material effect on the market for the Company's securities. Although you may not know the financial results prior to public announcement, if you engage in a trade before the financial results are disclosed to the public, such trades may give an appearance of impropriety that could subject the Insider and the Company to a charge of insider trading. Therefore, subject to limited exceptions described herein, Insiders, including Designated Insiders, may trade in Company securities only during four quarterly open trading windows, and Designated Insiders may then only trade in Company securities after obtaining pre-clearance from the Compliance Officer in accordance with the procedures set forth below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6

------

Unless otherwise advised, the four trading windows consist of the periods that begin after market close on the first full trading day following the Company's issuance of a press release (or other method of broad public dissemination) announcing its quarterly or annual earnings and end at the close of business on the 15<sup>th</sup> day before the end of the then-current quarter (e.g. March 16, June 15, September 15 and December 16); provided, however, that the first trading window following the Company's initial public offering (the "***IPO***") shall begin on the day of the Company's IPO and end at the close of business on the last date of the then-current quarter. For the purposes of the foregoing, a full trading day means an entire calendar day in which a session of regular trading hours on the NYSE between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such earlier close time as has been set by exchange rules) has occurred. Insiders may be allowed to trade outside of an open trading window only (a) pursuant to a pre-approved Rule 10b5-1 Plan as described below or (b) if granted a waiver in accordance with the procedure for granting waivers as described below.

For example, if we release earnings results before the market opens on a Tuesday, the first time an Insider can buy or sell Company securities is after the market opens on Wednesday. However, if our earnings release occurs after trading begins on a Tuesday, the first time that an Insider can buy or sell Company securities is the opening of the market on Thursday.

Of course, if an Insider has material nonpublic information about the Company during one of these trading windows, the Insider may not trade in the Company's securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Special Closed Trading Periods.**

The Compliance Officer may designate, from time to time, a "***Special Closed Window***" during what would be a permitted trading window because certain members of its board of directors or senior management or other employees may be aware of an event that would constitute a material, nonpublic information. During a Special Closed Window, Insiders may not trade in the Company's securities if they are notified by the Compliance Officer that they are subject to the Special Closed Window. The Compliance Officer may also impose a Special Closed Window on Insiders or a subset of them to prohibit trading in the securities of other companies, including specified peers or competitors of the Company. The imposition of a Special Closed Window will not be announced to the Company generally, should not be communicated to any other person, and may itself be considered under this Insider Trading Policy to be material nonpublic information about the Company. The Compliance Officer will subsequently notify the Insiders once the trading window is again open. While the Compliance Officer will undertake reasonable efforts to notify the Insiders that events that constitute material, nonpublic information have developed, or are soon likely to develop, it remains each Insider's individual duty to ensure that they do not make any trade in Company securities when such Insider is in possession of material, nonpublic information, even if they have not been notified of the imposition of a Special Closed Window.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prohibited Transactions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* ***No Short Sales***. You may not at any time sell any securities of the Company that are not owned by you at the time of the sale (a "***short sale***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* ***No Purchases or Sales of Derivative Securities or Hedging Transactions****.* You may not buy or sell puts, calls, other derivative securities of the Company or any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of the Company's

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7

------

securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of our securities or engage in any other hedging transaction with respect to our securities. 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* ***No Company Securities Subject to Margin Calls****.* You may not use the Company's securities as collateral in a margin account. When considering utilizing the margin feature on any brokerage account, Insiders should carefully review any terms and conditions to ensure that there is no possibility that the Company's securities could be considered collateral in any circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* ***No Pledges***. You may not pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan (or modify an existing pledge).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gifts and Other Distributions in Kind**. 

No Insider may donate or make any other transfer of Company securities without consideration (e.g. a contribution to a donor-advised trust) when the Insider is not permitted to trade unless the donee agrees not to sell the shares until the Insider is permitted to sell. In addition to charitable donations or gifts to family members, friends, trusts or others, this prohibition applies to distributions to limited partners by limited partnerships that are subject to this Insider Trading Policy.

***B. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pre-Clearance Procedures***

No Designated Insider may trade in our securities, even during an open trading window, unless the trade has been approved by the Compliance Officer in accordance with the procedures described below. In reviewing trading requests, the Compliance Officer may consult with our other officers and/or outside legal counsel and will seek approval of their own trades from the Chief Financial Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.Procedures.** No Designated Insider may trade in our securities unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* The Designated Insider has notified the Compliance Officer of the amount and nature of the proposed trade(s) using the Stock Transaction Request substantially in the form attached to this Insider Trading Policy. To provide adequate time for the preparation of any required reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, a Stock Transaction Request form should, if practicable, be received by the Compliance Officer at least two (2) business days before the intended trade date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* The Designated Insider has certified to the Compliance Officer in writing before the proposed trade(s) that the Designated Insider does not possess material nonpublic information concerning the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* If the Designated Insider is an executive officer or director, the Designated Insider has informed the Compliance Officer, using the Stock Transaction Request form, whether, to the Designated Insider's best knowledge, (a) the Designated Insider has (or is deemed to have) engaged in any opposite way transactions within the previous six months that were not exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and (b) if the transaction involves a sale by an "affiliate" of the Company or of "restricted securities" (as such terms are defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8

------

1933, as amended ("***Rule 144***")), whether the transaction meets all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* The Compliance Officer or their designee has approved the trade(s) and has certified their approval in writing (which may be by email or by digitally signing the Stock Transaction Request).

The Compliance Officer does not assume responsibility for, and approval by the Compliance Officer does not protect the Designated Insider from, the consequences of prohibited insider trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.Additional Information.** 

Designated Insiders shall provide to the Compliance Officer any documentation the Compliance Officer reasonably requires in furtherance of the foregoing procedures. Any failure to provide such information will be grounds for the Compliance Officer to deny approval of the trade request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.Notification of Brokers of Insider Status**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Designated Insiders who are required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall inform their broker-dealers that (a) the Designated Insider is subject to Section 16; (b) the broker shall confirm that any trade by the Designated Insider or any of their affiliates has been precleared by the Company; and (c) the broker is to provide transaction information to the Designated Insider and/or Compliance Officer on the day of a trade.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.No Obligation to Approve Trades.** 

The foregoing approval procedures do not in any way obligate the Compliance Officer to approve any trade. The Compliance Officer has sole discretion to reject any trading request.

From time to time, an event may occur that is material to the Company and is known by only by a limited number of directors and employees. The Compliance Officer may decline a Designated Insider's request to preclear a proposed trade based on the existence of a material nonpublic development – even if the Designated Insider is not aware of that material nonpublic development. If any Designated Insider engages in a trade before a material nonpublic development is disclosed to the public or resolved, the Designated Insider and the Company might be exposed to a charge of insider trading that could be costly and difficult to refute even if the Designated Insider was unaware of the development. So long as the event remains material and nonpublic, the Compliance Officer may decide not to approve any transactions in the Company's securities. The Compliance Officer will subsequently notify the Designated Insider once the material nonpublic development is disclosed to the public or resolved. If a Designated Insider requests preclearance of a trade during the pendency of such an event, the Compliance Officer may reject the trading request without disclosing the reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.Completion of Trades.** 

After receiving written clearance to engage in a trade signed by the Compliance Officer, a Designated Insider must complete the proposed trade within five (5) business days or make a new trading request. Even if a Designated Insider has received clearance, the Designated Insider may not engage in a trade if (i) such clearance has been rescinded by the Compliance Officer, (ii) the Designated Insider has

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9

------

otherwise received notice that the trading window has closed or (iii) the Designated Insider has or acquires material nonpublic information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.Post-Trade Reporting.** 

The details of any transactions in our securities (including transactions effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan) by a Designated Insider (or an Affiliated Person) who is required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act must be reported to the Compliance Officer by the Insider or their brokerage firm on the same day on which a trade order is placed or such a transaction otherwise is entered into. The report shall include the date of the transaction, quantity of shares, the price and the name of the broker-dealer that effected the transaction. This reporting requirement may be satisfied by providing (or having the Designated Insider's broker provide) a trade order confirmation to the Compliance Officer if the Compliance Officer receives such information by the required date. Compliance by directors and executive officers with this provision is imperative given the requirement of Section 16 of the Exchange Act that these persons generally report changes in ownership of Company securities within two (2) business days. The sanctions for noncompliance with this reporting deadline include mandatory disclosure in the Company's proxy statement for the next annual meeting of stockholders, as well as possible civil or criminal sanctions for chronic or egregious violators.

***C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exemptions***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.Pre-Approved Rule 10b5-1 Plan.** 

Transactions made pursuant to an approved Rule 10b5-1 Plan (as defined below) will not be subject to our trading windows or pre-clearance procedures, and Designated Insiders are not required to complete a Stock Transaction Request form for such transactions. Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense from insider trading liability under the federal securities laws for trading plans, arrangements or instructions that meet specified requirements. A trading plan, arrangement or instruction that meets the requirements of the SEC's Rule 10b5-1 (a "Rule 10b5-1 Plan") enables Insiders and Designated Insiders to trade in Company securities outside of our open trading windows, even when in possession of material nonpublic information.

The Company has adopted a separate Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan Policy that sets forth the requirements for putting in place a Rule 10b5-1 Plan with respect to Company securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.Employee Equity and Retirement Plans.**

***Exercise of Stock Options***. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in the Trading Procedures do not apply to the exercise for cash of an option to purchase securities of the Company. However, the Trading Procedures apply to the use of outstanding Company securities to pay part or all of the exercise price of an option, any net option exercise, any exercise of a stock appreciation right, share withholding and any sale of stock as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option or any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option. The exercise of any option (regardless of the form of payment of the exercise price) is subject to the current reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and, therefore, Insiders who are required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act must comply with the post-trade reporting requirement described in Part II, Section B(6) above for any such transaction. In addition, the securities acquired

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10

------

upon the exercise of an option to purchase Company securities are subject to all of the requirements of this Insider Trading Policy, including the Trading Procedures.

***Tax Withholding on Restricted Stock/Units***. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in the Trading Procedures do not apply to (i) the withholding by the Company of shares of stock upon vesting of restricted stock or upon settlement of restricted stock units to satisfy tax withholding requirements if (a) withholding is required by the applicable plan or award agreement or (b) the election to exercise the tax withholding right was made by the Insider in compliance with the Trading Procedures or (ii) mandatory, non-discretionary sales of shares of stock in accordance with the Company's policies and applicable equity award plans and agreements in connection with the vesting of restricted stock or upon settlement of restricted stock units solely to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements. Election by an Insider with respect to how to handle tax withholding in connection with the future vesting and settlement of restricted stock units must be made in compliance with the Trading Procedures, including the open windows set forth in Part II, Section A(1) and the pre-clearance procedures set forth in Part II, Section B.

***Employee Stock Purchase Plan***. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in the Trading Procedures do not apply to periodic wage withholding contributions by the Company or its employees that are used to purchase Company stock pursuant to the employees' advance instructions under the Company's 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "***ESPP***"). Furthermore, the trading prohibitions in this Insider Trading Policy do not apply to (i) the withholding by the Company of shares of stock upon the exercise of options granted under the ESPP to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements if (a) such withholding is required by the applicable plan or award agreement or (b) the election to exercise such tax withholding right was made by the Insider in compliance with the Trading Procedures or (ii) mandatory, non-discretionary sales of shares of stock in accordance with the ESPP upon the exercise of options granted under the ESPP solely to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements. However, an Insider may not: (a) elect to participate in the plan or alter their instructions regarding the level of withholding or purchase by the Insider of Company securities under the plan; or (b) make cash contributions to the plan (other than through periodic wage withholding), in each case without complying with the Trading Procedures. Any sale of securities acquired under the plan is subject to the prohibitions and restrictions of the Trading Procedures.

***D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Waivers***

A waiver of any provision of this Insider Trading Policy or the Trading Procedures may be authorized in writing by the Compliance Officer or their designee. All waivers shall be reported to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

**PART III. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT** 

We will deliver a copy of this Insider Trading Policy to all current employees and directors and to future employees and directors at the start of their employment or relationship with the Company. Each of these individuals must acknowledge that they have received a copy and agree to comply with the terms of this Insider Trading Policy, and, if applicable, the Trading Procedures contained herein. The attached acknowledgment must be completed and submitted to the Company within ten days of receipt. The acknowledgment may be delivered electronically, signed via electronic signature (including but not limited to DocuSign) or otherwise acknowledged via electronic means, as the Compliance Officer may determine from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11

------

At our request, employees and directors will be required to re-acknowledge and agree to comply with the Insider Trading Policy (including any amendments or modifications). For that purpose, an individual will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to comply with the Insider Trading Policy, as amended from time to time, when copies of those items have been delivered by regular or electronic mail (or other delivery option used by the Company) to the Compliance Officer or their designee.

\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\*

Questions regarding this Insider Trading Policy are encouraged and may be directed to the Compliance Officer.

**KLAVIYO, INC.**

**RULE 10B5-1 TRADING PLAN POLICY**

This Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan Policy should be read in conjunction with Klaviyo, Inc.'s (the "***Company***") Insider Trading Policy (the "***Insider Trading Policy***"). Specifically, Part II, Section C(1) of the Insider Trading Policy provides that transactions made pursuant to an approved Rule 10b5-1 Plan will not be subject to the trading windows, retirement plan blackout periods or pre-clearance procedures set forth in the Insider Trading Policy. Terms used in this Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan Policy and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Insider Trading Policy.

Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense against allegations of insider trading. This affirmative defense is often referred to as a "safe harbor" from such allegations. The Rule 10b5-1(c) safe harbor is available to the Company's employees, officers, and directors who make trades pursuant to a trading "plan" that meets the requirements of the rule. A plan that meets the requirements of the Rule 10b5-1(c) safe harbor is referred to herein as a "Trading Plan." Trading Plans may be used for purchases, sales, gifts or other transfers of securities.

The Company encourages Designated Insiders to enter into Trading Plans, but only if those plans are pre-approved in writing by our Chief Legal Officer or their designee(s) (each, the "***Compliance Officer***"). The Compliance Officer is assigned the job of approving any Trading Plan as to its form. Most brokerage firms will provide a form Trading Plan that is used for all clients.

All Trading Plans adopted by a Designated Insider after the date of the adoption of this policy (the "***Effective Date***") and any amendment to, modification of, or termination of a Trading Plan adopted after the Effective Date must comply with Rule 10b5-1 and must meet the following minimum conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.**Trading Plan Requirements.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.**Plan and Approval.** Each Trading Plan proposed to be entered into by a Designated Insider must be approved in writing by the Compliance Officer prior to its adoption. The Trading Plan must be in writing and signed by the Designated Insider. The Trading Plan must include a written representation by the Designated Insider that they are not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning the Company and that they are adopting the Trading Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. The Company's Legal Department will keep a copy of each signed Trading Plan in its files.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.**Timing and Term of Plan.** Each Trading Plan used by a Designated Insider must be adopted (i) when the trading window for the Designated Insider is open under our Insider Trading Policy; and (ii) when the Designated Insider does not otherwise possess material nonpublic information about the Company. Except with the prior written approval of the Compliance Officer, each Trading Plan entered into by any Designated Insider of the Company must be structured to remain in place for at least one year from the adoption date; provided however, a Trading Plan may be less than one year in duration if the plan solely covers either (A) stock options expiring within one year or (B) selling of a portion of the shares upon vesting of restricted stock units in order to primarily cover estimated applicable tax liability. Except with the prior written approval of the Compliance Officer, each Trading Plan entered into by any Designated Insider must be structured to remain in place no longer than two years after the adoption of such plan.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.**Timing of Plan Amendment and Modification; Termination of Plans.** Trading Plans may be amended or modified only (i) when the trading window for the Designated Insider is open under our Insider Trading Policy; (ii) when the Designated Insider does not possess material nonpublic information about the Company; and (iii) with the written approval of the Compliance Officer. Trading Plans may be terminated only (A) when the trading window for the Designated Insider is open under our Insider Trading Policy; (B) when the Designated Insider does not possess material nonpublic information about the Company; and (C) with the written approval of the Compliance Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.**Mandatory Delayed Effectiveness Following Trading Plan Adoption or Amendment/Modification.** Each Trading Plan used by a Designated Insider must include a "cooling off' period prior to the first trade.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For Designated Insiders that are executive officers (those officers of the Company who are required by Section 16 of the Exchange Act to file reports on their transactions in the Company's securities) and members of the Company's board of directors, the Trading Plan must provide that the first transaction executed pursuant to the Trading Plan may not occur until the later of (i) the 91st day after adoption, amendment or modification of the plan and (ii) the third business day following the disclosure of the Company's financial results in a Form 10-Q or Form 10-K for the fiscal quarter in which the plan was adopted, amended or modified. The required cooling off period is subject to maximum period of 120 days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For Designated Insiders who are not executive officers or directors, the Trading Plan must provide that the first transaction executed pursuant to the Trading Plan may not occur until thirty-one (31) days following the adoption, amendment or modification of the Trading Plan, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.**Relationships with Plan Broker/Administrator; No Subsequent Influence.** Each Trading Plan used by a Designated Insider must provide that the Designated Insider may not communicate any material nonpublic information about the Company to the broker or other third party administering the plan, or attempt to influence how the broker or such party executes (or exercises its discretion in executing) orders or other transactions under the Trading Plan in any way.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.**Plan Specifications; Discretion Regarding Transactions Under the Plan.** The Trading Plan must authorize the broker or other third party administering the plan to effect the transactions called for by the plan without any control or influence by you. The Trading Plan must specify the material parameters for the transactions to be effected under the plan. For example, for a plan that will provide for the purchase or sale of stock, the plan must specify the amount of stock to be purchased or sold during specified time periods and the price at which such stock is to be purchased or sold, or the plan may specify or set an objective formula (e.g., stock price thresholds) for determining the price and amount of stock to be purchased or sold during specified time periods. The Compliance Officer may require that the specified time periods contained in your Trading Plan during which sales could occur shall not coincide with the specified time periods in similar Trading Plans adopted by other insiders (e.g., to avoid a particular part of a quarter when earnings will be released), or make other arrangements (such as sale volume limitations) to avoid a large number of sales

------

occurring simultaneously or to comply with any required company policy regarding stock ownership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g.**Only One Plan in Effect at Any Time.** Unless otherwise approved by the Compliance Officer in situations where having multiple plans in place at one time is permissible under the provisions of Rule 10b5-1, a Designated Insider may have only one Trading Plan in effect at any time. However, a Designated Insider may adopt a new Trading Plan while an existing Trading Plan is in place so long as (i) the first trade under the new Trading Plan may not occur prior to the expiration of the existing Trading Plan in accordance with its terms and (ii) the new Trading Plan complies with the cooling off period and other requirements of this Policy. In addition, a Designated Insider may have in place additional Trading Plans in connection with sell-to-cover transactions as necessary to satisfy tax withholding obligations incident to the vesting of a compensatory award from the Company such as restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights and where the Designated Insider does not control the timing of such sales, provided that the plans comply with the cooling off period and other requirements of Rule 10b5-1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h.**Limitations on Single Trade Plans.** During any 12-month period, a Designated Insider may only enter into one Trading Plan that is designed to effect the purchase or sale or other transfer of the total amount of the Company's securities covered by the Trading Plan in a single transaction; provided, however, a Designated Insider may have in place additional non-concurrent single-trade Trading Plans during this same 12-month period in connection with sell-to-cover transactions as necessary to satisfy tax withholding obligations incident to the vesting of a compensatory award from the Company such as restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights and where the Designated Insider does not control the timing of such sales, provided that the plans comply with the cooling off period and other requirements of Rule 10b5-1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.**Suspensions.** Each Trading Plan used by a Designated Insider must provide for suspension of transactions under such plan if legal, regulatory or contractual restrictions are imposed on the Designated Insider, or other events occur, that would prohibit transactions under such plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j.**Compliance with Rule 144.** Each Trading Plan used by a Designated Insider must provide for specific procedures to comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the filing of Form 144.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k.**Broker Obligation to Provide Notice of Trades.** For executive officers and members of the board of directors of the Company, each Trading Plan must provide that the broker will provide notice of any transactions under the Trading Plan to the Designated Insider and the Company no later than the close of business on the day of the transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l.**Designated Insider Obligation to Make Exchange Act Filings.** Each Trading Plan must contain an explicit acknowledgement by such Designated Insider that all filings required by the Exchange Act (e.g., filings required by Section 16 of the Exchange Act, if applicable), as a result of or in connection with transactions under such plan, are the sole obligation of such Designated Insider and not the Company.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;m.**Required Footnote Disclosure.** Designated Insiders must footnote all trades disclosed on Form 144 and Designated Insiders that are required by Section 16 of the Exchange Act to file reports on their transactions in the Company's securities must comply with any checkbox requirement on Form 4 to, in each case to indicate that the trades were made pursuant to a Trading Plan.

## Exhibit 97.1

**Exhibit 97.1**

**KLAVIYO, INC.**

**COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICY**

Klaviyo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "***Company***"), has adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy (this "***Policy***") as described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.Overview**

The Policy sets forth the circumstances and procedures under which the Company shall recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation from Covered Persons in accordance with rules issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "***SEC***") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "***Exchange Act***"), and the New York Stock Exchange. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given in Section 3 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.Compensation Recovery Requirement**

In the event the Company is required to prepare a Financial Restatement, the Company shall recover reasonably promptly all Erroneously Awarded Compensation with respect to such Financial Restatement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.Definitions**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a."***Applicable Recovery Period***" means the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the Restatement Date for a Financial Restatement. In addition, in the event the Company has changed its fiscal year: (i) any transition period of less than nine months occurring within or immediately following such three completed fiscal years shall also be part of such Applicable Recovery Period and (ii) any transition period of nine to 12 months will be deemed to be a completed fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b."***Applicable Rules***" means any rules or regulations adopted by the Exchange pursuant to Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or regulations adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 10D of the Exchange Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c."***Board***" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d."***Committee***" means the Compensation Committee of the Board or, in the absence of such committee, a majority of independent directors serving on the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e."***Covered Person***" means any Executive Officer and any other person designated by the Board or the Committee as being subject to this Policy, as listed in <u>Schedule A</u> attached hereto, which schedule may be updated from time to time by the Committee. A person's status as a Covered Person with respect to Erroneously Awarded Compensation shall be determined as of the time of receipt of such Erroneously Awarded Compensation regardless of the person's current role or status with the Company (e.g., if a person began service as an Executive Officer after the beginning of an Applicable Recovery Period, that person would not be considered a Covered Person with respect to Erroneously Awarded Compensation received before the person began service as an Executive Officer, but would be considered a Covered Person with respect to Erroneously Awarded Compensation received after the person began service as an Executive Officer where such person served as an Executive Officer at any time during the performance period for such Erroneously Awarded Compensation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f."***Effective Date***" means the later of (i) October 2, 2023 and (ii) the first date upon which the Company's shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g."***Erroneously Awarded Compensation***" means the amount of any Incentive-Based Compensation received by a Covered Person on or after the Effective Date and during the Applicable Recovery Period that exceeds the amount that otherwise would have been received by the Covered Person had such compensation been determined based on the restated amounts in a Financial Restatement, computed without regard to any taxes paid. Calculation of Erroneously Awarded Compensation with respect to Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in a Financial Restatement, shall be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Financial Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was received, and the Company shall maintain documentation of the determination of such reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the Exchange in accordance with the Applicable Rules. Incentive-Based Compensation is deemed received, earned, or vested when the Financial Reporting Measure is attained, not when the actual payment, grant, or vesting occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h."***Exchange***" means the New York Stock Exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i."***Executive Officer***" means any person who served the Company in any of the following roles at any time during the performance period applicable to Incentive-Based Compensation and such person received Incentive-Based Compensation after beginning service in any such role (regardless of whether such Incentive-Based Compensation was received during or after such person's service in such role): the president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer the controller), any vice president in charge of a principal business unit, division, or function (such as sales, administration, or finance), any other officer who performs a policy making function, or any other person who performs similar policy making functions for the Company. Executive officers of parents or subsidiaries of the Company may be deemed executive officers of the Company if they perform such policy making functions for the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j."***Financial Reporting Measures***" mean measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company's financial statements, any measures that are derived wholly or in part from such measures (including, for example, a non-GAAP financial measure), and stock price and total shareholder return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k."***Financial Restatement***" means a restatement of previously issued financial statements of the Company due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required restatement to correct an error in previously-issued financial statements that is material to the previously-issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l."***Incentive-Based Compensation***" means any compensation provided, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is granted, earned, or vested based, in whole or in part, upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure and any other equity-based compensation provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights, regardless of whether such equity-based compensation is granted, earned, or vested based, in whole or in part, upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure. For avoidance of doubt, Incentive-Based Compensation is "received" for purposes of this Policy in the fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attached, even if the payment or grant of such Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;m."***Restatement Date***" means, with respect to a Financial Restatement, the earlier to occur of: (i) the date the Board or Audit Committee of the Board concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare the Financial Restatement or (ii) the date

------

a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare the Financial Restatement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.Exception to Compensation Recovery Requirement**

The Company may elect not to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation pursuant to this Policy if the Committee determines that recovery would be impracticable, and one or more of the following conditions, together with any further requirements set forth in the Applicable Rules, are met: (i) the direct expense paid to a third party, including outside legal counsel, to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered, and the Company has made a reasonable attempt to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation; or (ii) recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan to fail to be so qualified under applicable regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.Recovery from Participating Employees**

In addition to (and without limiting) the provisions of paragraph 2 above, in the event the Company is required to prepare a Financial Restatement after the Effective Date, the Company may recover from any current or former employee of the Company who is not a Covered Person (each a "***Participating Employee***") and who received Incentive-Based Compensation from the Company during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Board or the Audit Committee determines that the Company is required to prepare a Financial Restatement, the amount that exceeds what would have been paid to the Participating Employee under the Financial Restatement; provided that, this paragraph 5 will apply only to the extent the Board (or a duly established committee thereof), in its sole discretion, determines that the Participating Employee committed any act or omission that materially contributed to the circumstances requiring the Financial Restatement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.Recovery Where Intentional Misconduct**

In addition to (and without limiting) the provisions of paragraph 2 and 5 above, in the event the Company is required to prepare a Financial Restatement after the Effective Date and the Board (or a duly established committee thereof), in its sole discretion, determines that a Covered Person's or a Participating Employee's act or omission contributed to the circumstances requiring the Financial Restatement and such act or omission involved any of the following: (i) willful, knowing or intentional misconduct or a willful, knowing or intentional violation of any of the Company's rules or any applicable legal or regulatory requirements in the course of the Covered Person's or the Participating Employee's employment by the Company or (ii) fraud in the course of the Covered Person's or the Participating Employee's employment by the Company, the Company may recover from such Covered Person or Participating Employee up to 100% (as determined by the Board or a duly established committee thereof in its sole discretion) of the Incentive-Based Compensation received by such Covered Person or Participating Employee from the Company during the three fiscal years preceding the date on which the Company determined that it is required to prepare a Financial Restatement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.Method of Compensation Recovery**

The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the method for recovering Erroneously Awarded Compensation hereunder, which may include, without limitation, any one or more of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.requiring reimbursement of cash Incentive-Based Compensation previously paid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer or other disposition of any equity-based awards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.cancelling or rescinding some or all outstanding vested or unvested equity-based awards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.adjusting or withholding from unpaid compensation or other offset;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.cancelling or offsetting against planned future grants of equity-based awards; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.any other method permitted by applicable law or contract.

The Committee need not utilize the same method of recovery for all Covered Persons or with respect to all types of Erroneously Awarded Compensation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Covered Person will be deemed to have satisfied such person's obligation to return Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the Company if such Erroneously Awarded Compensation is returned in the exact same form in which it was received; provided that equity withheld to satisfy tax obligations will be deemed to have been received in cash in an amount equal to the tax withholding payment made.

In the event the Company is required to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation from a Covered Person who is no longer an employee, the Company is entitled to seek such recovery in order to comply with applicable law, regardless of the terms of any release of claims or separation agreement such individual may have signed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.Policy Interpretation**

This Policy shall be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the Applicable Rules and any other applicable law. The Committee shall take into consideration any applicable interpretations and guidance of the SEC in interpreting this Policy, including, for example, in determining whether a financial restatement qualifies as a Financial Restatement hereunder. To the extent the Applicable Rules require recovery of Incentive-Based Compensation in additional circumstances besides those specified above, nothing in this Policy shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right or obligation of the Company to recover Incentive-Based Compensation to the fullest extent required by the Applicable Rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.Policy Administration**

This Policy shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have such powers and authorities related to the administration of this Policy as are consistent with the governing documents of the Company and applicable law. The Committee shall have full power and authority to take, or direct the taking of, all actions and to make all determinations required or provided for under this Policy and shall have full power and authority to take, or direct the taking of, all such other actions and make all such other determinations not inconsistent with the specific terms and provisions of this Policy that the Committee deems to be necessary or appropriate to the administration of this Policy. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of this Policy and all determinations made by the Committee under this policy shall be final, binding and conclusive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.Compensation Recovery Repayments not Subject to Indemnification**

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any agreement with, or the organizational documents of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, Covered Persons are not entitled to indemnification for Erroneously Awarded Compensation or for any claim or losses arising out of or in any way related to Erroneously Awarded Compensation recovered under this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.Tax Considerations**

To the extent that, pursuant to this Policy, the Company is entitled to recover any Erroneously Awarded Compensation that is received by a Covered Person, the gross amount received (i.e., the amount the Covered Person received, or was entitled to receive, before any deductions for tax withholding or other payments) shall be returned by the Covered Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.No Impairment of Other Remedies**

------

Nothing contained in this Policy, and no recoupment or recovery as contemplated herein, shall limit any claims, damages or other legal remedies the Company or any of its affiliates may have against a Covered Person arising out of or resulting from any actions or omissions by the Covered Person. This Policy does not preclude the Company from taking any other action to enforce a Covered Person's obligations to the Company, including, without limitation, termination of employment and/or institution of civil proceedings. This Policy is in addition to the requirements of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("***SOX 304***") that are applicable to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and to any other compensation recoupment policy and/or similar provisions in any employment, equity plan, equity award, or other individual agreement, to which the Company is a party or which the Company has adopted or may adopt and maintain from time to time; provided, however, that compensation recouped pursuant to this Policy shall not be duplicative of compensation recouped pursuant to SOX 304 or any such compensation recoupment policy and/or similar provisions in any such employment, equity plan, equity award, or other individual agreement except as may be required by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.Recovery Requirement Shall not Constitute "Good Reason" Under Employment or Other Compensation Agreements**

Any action by the Company to recoup or any recoupment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy from a Covered Person shall not be deemed (i) "good reason" for such Covered Person's resignation or to serve as a basis for a claim of constructive termination under any employment or severance agreement with the Company or under the terms of any benefits or compensation arrangement applicable to such Covered Person, or (ii) to constitute a breach of a contract or other arrangement to which such Covered Person is party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.Amendment; Termination**

The Committee may amend this Policy in its discretion, including as it deems necessary to comply with the regulations adopted by the SEC under Rule 10D-1 and the rules of any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Company's securities are listed. The Committee may terminate this Policy at any time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment or termination of this Policy shall be effective if that amendment or termination would cause the Company to violate any federal securities laws, SEC rules or the rules of any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Company's securities are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.Successors**

This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Persons and their successors, beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators, or other legal representatives.
