**ITEM 1. Business**

**Overview**

8x8, Inc. ("8x8") is a global provider of integrated customer experience and business communications solutions, purpose-built to unify customer and employee engagement across the enterprise. Our Platform for CX™ combines contact center, business communications, and application programmable interfaces, or APIs, for communications into a single, secure, AI-powered system that delivers seamless, data-driven interactions. Designed for agility and scale, our platform helps businesses eliminate silos, improve operational efficiency, and turn every conversation into actionable intelligence. By aligning technology with measurable outcomes, we empower organizations to transform how they connect, serve, and grow from first interactions to lasting relationships.

We serve a broad customer base, from small businesses to large global enterprises, across every major industry. Our strategic focus has increasingly shifted toward mid-market, small and mid-sized enterprise, and public sector organizations, particularly those with 500 to 10,000 employees. These customers often have more complex communication and customer service needs and are more likely to benefit from, and invest in, multiple services across our platform. This focus aligns with our strengths, eliminating communication silos and enabling businesses to transform every customer interaction into a strategic asset. We also invest resources in retaining our small business customers, including world class onboarding and customer care specialists that are a single point of contact for all service and support needs.

We reach customers through a diversified go-to-market strategy that includes both direct and indirect channels. We utilize a diversified partner ecosystem to complement our direct sales efforts and expand our global market reach. Our go-to-market strategy includes technology solutions distributors, or TSDs, and their sub-agent networks, who contribute to pipeline growth through referrals. We also engage value-added resellers, or VARs, who market, sell, implement, and support our solutions, helping to drive customer acquisition and optimize our routes to market.

In addition, we collaborate closely with strategic technology partners, particularly those with whom we maintain deep integrations or original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, relationships, via structured referral agreements and coordinated lead flow processes. Our carrier partnerships extend our service availability to over 100 countries and territories, ensuring high-quality, reliable communications that support our international footprint.

To further enhance deployment speed and geographic coverage, we leverage third-party service providers, enabling us to deliver implementation and support services efficiently at a global scale.

With our unified approach to communication and a commitment to continuous innovation, 8x8 enables businesses to deliver intelligent, connected experiences that securely scale across the enterprise.

During fiscal 2026, we successfully completed the upgrade of all customers from the legacy Fuze platform onto the 8x8 platform, a multi-year integration effort that concluded on December 31, 2025. Operating on a single unified platform enables improved efficiency, reduced infrastructure complexity, and a stronger foundation for customer retention and cross-sell.

**Our Strategy**

We believe there is a large market opportunity to provide customer experience and communication solutions to mid-market and small- and mid-sized enterprise organizations. Our integrated platform approach enables solutions that span the entire organization and bridge the gaps in communications and customer experience that result from siloed communications and contact center environments. Our solutions are intentionally engineered for effortless adoption, enabling information technology ("IT") teams and customer experience leaders to improve customer satisfaction, increase employee productivity and drive better business outcomes as their needs evolve and mature over time.

Our strategy is built around six key pillars:

***Outcome-Driven Innovation:*** We invest in innovation designed to reduce complexity for our customers, help our customers elevate their experience, improve agent and employee productivity and modernize legacy systems. Flexible user interfaces and AI-based features are enabled across our platform to improve productivity and drive proactive customer engagement. Features such as real-time call summaries, sentiment analysis, AI-based routing, and AI coaching on next-best-action enable proactive, personalized service and faster outcomes.

------

***Customer Focus: Mid-Market, Enterprise, and Public Sector:*** Our go-to-market strategy and innovation efforts are centered on serving mid-market, small to mid-sized enterprises, and public sector organizations, segments that often face complex communication and engagement challenges. With a modular platform and a comprehensive suite of capabilities, we enable these customers, many of whom may not have dedicated customer experience engineering teams, to easily adopt and integrate multiple products. This approach drives greater value and improved outcomes and fosters long-term, strategic partnerships. Annual revenue from customers using three or more products now represents more than one-third of our recurring revenue, validating the long-term value of our integrated platform approach.

***Modern Go-To-Market Approach:*** We reach customers through a hybrid approach that includes direct sales, digital channels, value-added resellers, and strategic integrations with large platforms like Microsoft Teams and Salesforce. This allows us to scale efficiently while tailoring our approach to different customer segments.

***Customer Lifecycle Success:*** Our customer success teams deliver a full lifecycle engagement model focused on rapid onboarding and long-term expansion based on account potential, resulting in increased revenue over time. This proactive approach is intended to drive higher customer satisfaction, increased cross-sell of additional products, and higher customer retention.

***Technology Partner Ecosystem and Platform Extensibility:*** Our Technology Partner Ecosystem, a carefully curated set of technology innovators, enables customers to integrate best-of-breed customer experience solutions through deep platform integration for a native-like experience. The extensibility of our platform enables rapid innovation, tailored solutions, and faster deployment of best-of-breed and emerging technologies while eliminating integration complexity.

**Our Platform for CX**

8x8 delivers an integrated, AI-powered Platform for CX that unifies contact center-as-a-service ("CCaaS"), unified communications-as-a-service ("UCaaS"), and communications platform-as-a-service ("CPaaS") communication programmable application interfaces ("APIs") into a single cloud-native solution. At the core of the platform is the 8x8 Customer Interaction Data Platform, which captures, connects, and contextualizes interaction data across the organization. This comprehensive, high-fidelity data foundation powers a growing portfolio of AI-based features, including intelligent routing, sentiment analysis, live agent guidance, and journey optimization, which enable our customers to drive operational efficiency and deliver proactive, personalized customer engagement with their end customers. The unified nature of our Platform for CX ensures seamless data capture, consistent processing and analytics, and continuous learning, enabling customers to deliver scalable, outcome-driven customer experiences that increase customer loyalty and revenue.

The platform also includes tools such as 8x8 AI Studio for developing voice and digital AI agents, AI Orchestrator for managing multi-vendor virtual agent environments, JourneyIQ for visualizing end-to-end customer journeys and moving customer engagement from reactive to proactive, Workforce Engagement Management to efficiently schedule and manage contact center resources, and 8x8 Engage™, a mobile-inclusive solution extending modern customer experience capabilities beyond the contact center to all customer-facing teams. With support for omnichannel communications, including short messaging service ("SMS"), rich messaging services ("RCS") for business messaging, WhatsApp, video, and voice, as well as AI-powered features like real-time transcription, live summaries, Customer 360, Agent Assist, customer AI-health scoring, and Compose with AI for message generation, 8x8 enables enterprises to deliver faster, more intelligent, and more empathetic customer service across every channel and interaction. The AI features in the platform leverage a variety of AI models, including models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Eleven Labs and xAI Grok.

To address specialized customer needs, the 8x8 Platform for CX is supported by a curated Technology Partner Ecosystem, integrating best-of-breed solutions across areas such as workforce management, compliance, social listening, vertical-specific analytics, and more. Our open, modular platform architecture allows organizations to quickly incorporate emerging innovations, swap out technologies as new leaders emerge, and tailor deployments to their unique business goals without added integration complexity or data silos. As the contact center landscape rapidly evolves, with new entrants driving innovation in targeted features, this integration flexibility enables 8x8 and its customers to remain agile and future-ready.

We require our employees, contractors, and other third parties to sign agreements providing for the maintenance of confidentiality and also the assignment of rights to inventions made by them while providing services to us. We also use software components in our platform that are licensed to the public under open-source licenses.

See the section entitled "Risks Related to Intellectual Property" in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" for more information on our intellectual property risks.

**Competition**

The markets for cloud-based business communications and contact center solutions are competitive, dynamic, and subject to rapid technological evolution. These markets continue to attract new entrants and experience consolidation among existing participants. Our business competes across several overlapping segments, including UCaaS, CCaaS, and communication APIs.

Because we offer an integrated platform that spans multiple service categories, we face competition from a wide range of companies, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Cloud-native providers*** such as RingCentral, Inc., Zoom Video Communications, Inc., Twilio Inc., Five9, Inc., NICE Ltd. (including NICE inContact), Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc., Dialpad, and Talkdesk, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Legacy communications vendors*** such as Cisco Systems, Inc., Mitel Networks Corp., and Avaya Holdings Corp., which are shifting from on-premises to cloud-based solutions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Large technology and cloud service companies*** such as Microsoft Corporation (Teams), Alphabet Inc. (Google Meet and Google Voice), and Amazon.com, Inc. (Amazon Connect), which offer communications services either standalone or as part of broader platforms.

Many of these competitors have greater financial resources, broader customer bases, more recognized brands, or deeper integration within enterprise IT ecosystems. They may also offer bundled or subsidized pricing strategies, invest heavily in marketing and research and development, or leverage existing customer relationships to expand adoption.

We compete on several factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Solution breadth and integration of services offered on a single cloud-native platform.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reliability, scalability, and security of our infrastructure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Native support for AI-driven capabilities and workflow automation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Flexibility to serve hybrid and global workforces across multiple communication channels.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total cost of ownership and ease of deployment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Customer support and success programs.

We believe that our global communications network, combined with our focus on customer outcomes and our ability to deliver unified communications, contact center, and programmable communications application programmable interfaces on a single, cloud-native platform positions us to serve the complex communication needs of mid-market, small and mid-sized enterprises, and public sector organizations. However, we remain subject to competitive pressures that may affect our pricing, customer acquisition costs, and market share.

See the section entitled "Risks Related to Our Business and Industry" in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" for more information on our risks related to competition.

**Operations**

8x8 operates a global infrastructure designed to support the delivery of our unified communications, contact center, and communications-as-a-service offerings. Our operations span software platforms, service quality monitoring, customer and technical support, security, and interconnection with global telecommunication networks.

***Platform and Infrastructure:*** Our operational systems encompass data management, security, service quality control, customer relationship management, provisioning, billing, and accounting. These systems support both customer-facing services and internal business operations.

Key components include customer quoting and ordering tools, provisioning and access control, fraud prevention, network and application security, media processing, message routing, quality and reliability monitoring, detailed call and message logging, usage metering, product interfaces, billing, and integrations with third-party applications.

------

Our cloud software platform manages the admission, control, rating, and routing of calls and messages. It is built for scalability, redundancy, and high availability. We continuously invest in infrastructure and service monitoring to support reliable delivery and minimize downtime.

***Network Operations:*** We operate global network operations centers staffed by experienced personnel located in the United States, United Kingdom, Romania, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines. These teams provide 24/7 monitoring and support, whether onsite or remotely.

Our network operations centers use synthetic testing, application performance monitoring tools, and telemetry data to manage both our own networks and those of select partners and customers. We also collaborate with the network operations centers of our telecommunications carriers and data center providers to extend our monitoring and response capabilities. The distributed nature of our operations supports business continuity through redundant, geographically dispersed operations.

Our services are designed with failover capabilities to ensure minimal disruption in the event of data center outages, natural disasters, or other emergencies, including those related to pandemics and climate-related disasters.

***Customer and Technical Support:*** We maintain a global customer support organization with personnel in 10 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Philippines, Singapore, Australia, and Romania. Support is available through multiple channels—phone, chat, web, and SMS—and emergency assistance is provided 24/7.

Our support model follows the customer lifecycle, from onboarding and deployment through renewal, to drive user adoption and satisfaction. Enterprise customers benefit from dedicated deployment teams, active support through go-live milestones, and, where applicable, a designated customer success manager. We also offer a premium success program and user training through 8x8 University, available via instructor-led sessions and self-paced online courses.

***Interconnection Agreements:*** 8x8 maintains interconnection agreements with data, voice, and mobile network operators worldwide. These agreements allow us to provide inbound and outbound voice and messaging services across global telecommunication and mobile networks via our platform.

**Regulatory Matters**

As a provider of cloud-based communications and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, our business is subject to extensive regulations in the United States and internationally. Compliance with these regulations, which are evolving and complex, requires ongoing significant expenditures, including substantial investments in compliance infrastructure research and development to meet compliance obligations.

In the United States, at the federal level, our services are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"). FCC regulations applicable to our VoIP services include requirements related to enhanced 911 ("E-911") services, customer proprietary network information ("CPNI") protection, phone number porting under specific conditions, and contributions to the Universal Service Fund ("USF") and other federal regulatory funding mechanisms. We are also subject to state and local regulatory requirements concerning universal service funding, emergency communications services, and other state-specific telecommunications obligations.

The Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") also has jurisdiction over some of our business practices, including advertising, trade practices, privacy and forms of telemarketing. We could be subject to FTC enforcement actions, fines or restrictions on our business practices if we do not comply with related rules and regulations.

Additionally, we are subject to a growing array of privacy and data protection regulations at the state level. The California Consumer Privacy Act (the "CCPA") and the California Privacy Rights Act (the "CPRA") impose significant data protection obligations and potential liabilities on companies like ours that process personal data of California residents. Numerous other states have enacted or are in the process of enacting similar comprehensive privacy laws and related compliance obligations. These laws create substantial compliance responsibilities and potential liabilities.

Internationally, we face a complex regulatory landscape, with significant compliance obligations in various jurisdictions. Regulations vary country by country (and province by province in certain geographies), are often unclear, and may be more onerous than those imposed in the U.S. In the European Union ("EU"), our services are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"), which imposes stringent obligations on companies processing personal data and creates significant liabilities for non-compliance. Additionally, the EU Accessibility Act mandates specific requirements related to the accessibility of digital services, necessitating substantial research and development investment to ensure compliance. Countries within the EU including, but not limited to, France, have begun to implement additional regulations, such as prohibiting the sub-assignment of phone numbers to resellers, for example. In the United Kingdom, we must comply with regulations under the UK Telecommunications Act, which similarly demands continuous enhancements to our technology and compliance framework.

------

The scope and application of regulations applicable to cloud-based communications and VoIP services continue to evolve rapidly, both domestically and internationally. Further, internet commerce and communications technologies continue to evolve, including incorporating AI-related technologies. This evolution creates additional regulatory challenges for companies like ours and increases the likelihood that federal, state and foreign agencies will continue to develop and implement restrictive regulations. Future regulatory developments, including potential new taxes, licensing obligations, and compliance mandates, may require significant additional expenditures, particularly in research and development efforts aimed at maintaining and enhancing product compliance. For more information regarding the risks associated with regulatory compliance, see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Regulatory Matters."

**Geographic Areas**

We have one reportable segment. Financial information relating to revenue generated in different geographic areas is set forth in Note [2](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_115), Revenue, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report.

**Employees and Human Capital**

As of March 31, 2026, we had 1,819 full-time employees operating around the world, of which 70% are located outside of the United States. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining arrangement. We did not experience any work stoppages in fiscal 2026.

Our employees and our culture are foundational to our success. We invest in programs designed to foster engagement, promote inclusion, support development, and reward performance. Our human capital priorities are organized around five areas: values and engagement; learning and development; culture; community and social impact; and total rewards and well-being.

**Values and Engagement**

We operate in accordance with a set of core values that are closely aligned with our operating principles. These values shape our interactions with colleagues, partners, and customers, as illustrated below:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **<u>People First</u>** | **<u>Collaborative</u>** | **<u>Innovative</u>** | **<u>Intentional</u>** | **<u>Driven</u>** |
| Simply put, we're for people. We're respectful and assume positive intent. Every voice matters, so we listen and treat others with professionalism. We recognize that our rivals are outside, not inside the company. | We're all in this together. Disagree and commit is a real thing. We speak the truth in our meetings and listen when others challenge conventional wisdom. We win as a team when we're honest and transparent. | We focus on progress over perfection. We cultivate our curiosity and embrace the adventure. We move fast and take bold action. We're unafraid to fail, knowing that each mistake gets us one step closer to our solution. | We do the right things well. We prioritize our commitment to our customers and intentionally engineer their success. We think and act with accountability and ownership of our performance. | We care about key results and measurable outcomes. We are empowered and tireless in our pursuit of greatness. We make decisions close to the customer or problem, and follow through to completion. |

---

These values are reinforced through onboarding, training, everyday decision-making and our performance review process. Consistent with our values of accountability and collaboration, we support a hybrid work model and approximately 46% of our global employees are considered "remote". We also recognize that certain roles or regions may benefit from increased in-person collaboration, and we have empowered our regional leaders, together with their site councils, to determine in-office work requirements for local employees. We rely on regular communications and our own communication and collaboration platform, 8x8 Work, to foster connection and teamwork across time zones.

We also invest in understanding and improving the employee experience through a comprehensive employee listening strategy. We leverage Qualtrics to administer a broad range of employee lifecycle and experience surveys, including onboarding, exit, performance feedback, recruiting, programmatic, and targeted surveys. In addition, we conduct multiple employee engagement surveys annually to measure workforce sentiment and identify opportunities for improvement. In our most recent engagement survey, 79% of employees participated, and we achieved 77% engagement.

------

**Learning and Development**

We are committed to continuous professional development for employees at all levels. In fiscal 2026, our employees collectively completed more than 16,100 hours of structured learning through formal programs. Our learning programs include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **LinkedIn Learning**: A platform providing curated learning paths for role-specific and universal skills.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Acceler8 Manager Program**: An award winning four-month blended learning experience with workshops, coaching, and peer collaboration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Leadership Coaching**: One-on-one coaching and behavioral assessments for vice presidents and senior leaders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Technical Skills Training**: Tools and platforms to enhance product knowledge, coding skills, and platform familiarity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **AI Tools Training**: Training in the use of AI-based tools for increased productivity and effectiveness.

The Company has invested in expanding AI capabilities across its workforce, with spending covering both employee training and AI tools. Training programs have included weekly internal AI skills sessions during fiscal 2026, along with dedicated sales enablement sessions, product team knowledge-sharing forums, and additional internal programs. The Company has also conducted structured internal hackathons through which cross-functional teams have developed and deployed AI-driven solutions to operational challenges, reflecting the Company's broader effort to accelerate adoption and shift the organizational culture toward AI-enabled ways of working. On the tools side, the Company has provided employees across all functions with access to a suite of leading AI platforms and development tools and has retired certain legacy products in favor of AI-native alternatives. The Company views AI proficiency as a core operational capability and intends to continue investing accordingly. There can be no assurance that these programs will result in sustained productivity improvements or competitive differentiation. We encourage employees and managers to have regular performance and development conversations, supported by tools that align individual goals with company objectives.

**Culture and Community**

At 8x8, we stand united in our commitment to fostering a workplace where every voice is valued and every individual feels a sense of belonging. In keeping with our core value of respect, we honor the unique capabilities and characteristics each individual brings to their work and to their team. Our employees are the heart of our business, and we celebrate and commend their contributions, collaboration, and commitment.

When every voice can be heard, amazing things can happen. We are committed to ensuring our employees are equipped, enabled, and empowered to have impact. Our programs and initiatives include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Multiple employee resource groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A global culture and community council, supported by an executive-level leadership steering committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Unconscious bias training as part of our Company-wide learning curriculum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Internal resources and programs, managed by our local site committees, to celebrate cultural and community milestones, including International Women's Day and Veterans Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Commitment to community involvement, including paid time off for volunteer activities.

We also conduct regular pay equity reviews and promote equal opportunities in our internal management and hiring practices.

**Total Rewards and Well-Being**

We provide a comprehensive total rewards package designed to support the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of our employees. Our offerings include:

**Compensation**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Competitive base salaries and performance-based incentive plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Targeted equity compensation.

**Benefits**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Health, dental, and vision insurance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Resources for financial wellness and family care.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Subsidized public transportation, where available.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Legal assistance.

------

**Workforce Metrics**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 8x8 uses workforce metrics to track the size, composition and performance of employees over time, evaluate effectiveness and inform business decisions.

During fiscal 2026, the Company made several enhancements to its international employee benefit programs across the Asia-Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa markets, covering approximately 1,100 employees. In the Philippines, the Company increased the maximum benefit limit under its group health plan to better reflect current medical cost trends in the region. In Singapore, coverage under the risk and healthcare plan was expanded to provide family-level benefits to all eligible employees at the M6 and executive levels. In the United Kingdom, the Company successfully negotiated a reduction in medical insurance premiums as a result of favorable claims experience, and commenced a phased restructuring of the employer National Insurance give-back under the pension salary sacrifice scheme to align with evolving market practice ahead of anticipated regulatory changes, to become effective in 2029.

**Succession Planning and Employee Relations**

We maintain a formal succession planning process to support leadership continuity and mitigate operational risk. This includes regular review of key roles and the development of high-potential employees. We are committed to fair labor practices and a culture of open communication across all regions in which we operate.

**Available Information**

We maintain a corporate Internet website at the address: http://www.8x8.com. The contents of this website are not incorporated in or otherwise to be regarded as part of this Annual Report. We file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which are available on our website free of charge.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Scalability of our cloud software services to meet existing and new customer demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• International expansion, including geopolitical tensions and increasing costs of regulatory compliance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ability to maintain compatibility with third-party applications and mobile platforms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reliance on third-parties to provide network services and connectivity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reliance on third-party vendors for IP phones and certain software endpoints.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Difficulty executing local number porting requests.

**Risks Related to Regulatory Matters**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cybersecurity breaches and malicious acts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Liabilities related to credit card transaction processing services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to comply with data privacy and protection laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with industry standards and government regulations including those related to telecommunications and cybersecurity.

**Risks Related to Intellectual Property**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Infringement of third-party proprietary technology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inability to protect our proprietary technology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inability to use third-party or open-source software.

**Risks Related to our Debt, our Stock, and our Charter**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our substantial amount of indebtedness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash flow may be insufficient to service or pay down our debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inability to raise necessary funds in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Impact of conditional conversion features of our debt on our financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Necessity of additional capital or restructuring of existing debt to pursue business objectives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in accounting standards, including for our debt, which may cause adverse financial reporting fluctuations and affect our reported operating results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Future sales of common stock or equity-linked securities, including by existing stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Certain provisions in our charter documents that may discourage takeover attempts.

**General Risk Factors**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Global macroeconomic and geopolitical events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inability to secure financing in the future on favorable terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Natural disasters, war, terrorist attacks, global pandemics and other unforeseen events.

**Risks Related to our Business and Industry**

**We have a history of losses, have incurred significant negative cash flows in the past, and anticipate continuing losses in the future. As such, we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.**

We recorded operating income of approximately $18.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2026, and ended the period with an accumulated deficit of approximately $886.1 million. Our recent level of operating income is highly dependent on market demand for our products and services. Changes in economic conditions, competitive factors or a reduction in demand could lead to lower revenues and our inability to sustain our current results. As such, we may incur operating losses in the future as we continue to invest in our business. During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we focused on cost discipline and invested in sales and marketing and research and development, among other areas of our business, to compete more successfully for the business of companies that are transitioning to cloud communications and otherwise position ourselves to take advantage of long-term revenue-generating opportunities.

We may incur losses in the next fiscal year and later, and we will need to increase our revenue to generate and sustain operating profitability in future periods. The investments we have made in fiscal 2026 and beyond may not generate the returns that we anticipate, which could adversely impact our financial condition and make it more difficult for us to grow revenue and/or achieve or sustain profitability in the time period that we expect, or not at all. In order to achieve sustained profitability, we will need to manage our cost structure more efficiently, while continuing to grow our revenue. Despite these efforts, our revenue may decline, we may incur additional liabilities, and/or we may incur significant losses in the future due to general economic conditions, increasing competition (including competitive pricing pressures and large competitors moving into our markets at the same time that new and innovative competitors enter), decrease in customer demand, including from tariffs or other governmental actions, the growth of the adoption or sustained use of the cloud communications market, or our failure for any reason to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities. Additionally, inflationary pressures impacting our cost structure, geopolitical events, interest rate fluctuations, and foreign currency fluctuations could adversely impact our profitability. Given our history of fluctuating revenue and operating losses, we cannot be certain that we will be able to achieve or maintain operating profitability in the future.

------

**Our future operating results, including revenue, expenses, losses, profits, and operating cash flow, may vary substantially from period to period and may be difficult to predict. As a result, we may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of market analysts or investors, which could negatively impact our stock price.**

Our historical operating results have fluctuated and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. A decline in our operating results could cause our stock price to fall. There are a number of factors that may affect our operating results on a quarterly, annual, or longer-term basis, some of which are outside our control. These include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the markets we compete in, including reductions in market growth or consolidation among competitors, channel partners, or customers, and the impact of general macroeconomic conditions such as inflation, interest rates, recession, tariffs, trade policies, geopolitical instability, and decreased economic output;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in customer demand, including cancellations, subscription downgrades, or substitution of our lower-priced, less feature-rich products for our higher-priced, more feature-rich products, particularly as customers transition to AI-based solutions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of AI-related developments or speculation about the future of AI on the software and SaaS industries and market conditions generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the competitive dynamics in our markets, including competitors increasing compensation payable to channel partners or increasing discounts or credits issued to customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lengthy sales cycles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new product introductions by us or our competitors, including AI-based products and features;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unpredictability of usage-based revenue products that do not involve long-term subscription commitments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the mix of our customer base, sales channels, and services sold;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of additional customers, on a net basis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount and timing of costs associated with recruiting, training, and integrating new employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the retention of our senior management and other key employees, their ability to execute on our business plan and the loss of services of senior management or other key employees, whether in the past or in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unforeseen costs and expenses related to the expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure, including internationally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our dependency on third-party vendors of hardware, software, and services that we resell to our customers, including the effects of supplier price increases which we are unable to pass along to our customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to execute our operating plans successfully, including back-office system optimizations and increases in execution speed while also reducing costs and optimizing our operating margin;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in regulatory requirements or lengthy regulatory approval cycles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continued compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decline in usage related to increases in return to office;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• material security breaches or service interruptions due to cyberattacks or infrastructure failures or unavailability, which may result in additional expenses, losses, legal or regulatory actions, customer credits, and reputational harm;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• introduction and adoption of our cloud software solutions in markets outside of the United States; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• litigation involving us, our industry, or both, including securities class action lawsuits.

Our results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors.

In addition, changes in regulations, accounting principles, and our interpretation of these and judgments used in applying them, could have a material effect on our results of operations. We would also need to revise our business processes, systems, and controls, which require significant management attention and may negatively affect our financial reporting obligations. If any of these events were to occur, the price of our common stock would likely decline significantly.

**Failure to innovate and adapt in response to rapidly evolving technological changes in the midst of an intensely competitive market may harm our competitive position and business prospects.**

We compete in markets that evolve rapidly. The pace of innovation will continue to accelerate as customers recognize the advantages of acquiring leading technologies and adopting AI native solutions and modern cloud-based infrastructure. Cutting-edge capabilities such as AI, machine learning, hyper automation, low-code/no-code application development and predictive insights become increasingly relevant to the customer's evolving needs. Our continued growth also depends on continued use of voice, video communications, messaging and contact center solutions by businesses, compared to other means of communications, including, but not limited to, email and other data-based methods. In addition, to compete successfully, we must anticipate and adapt to technological changes and evolving industry standards and continue to design, develop, manufacture, and sell new and enhanced services that provide increasingly higher levels of performance and reliability.

Competitors, regardless of their size, may be able to respond more quickly and effectively to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, customer requirements and buying practices. They may introduce new technology, solve similar problems in different ways or more effectively utilize existing technology that reduces demand for our services. They may utilize acquisitions, integrations or consolidations to offer integrated or bundled products, enhanced functionality or other advantages. Some of our existing competitors and potential competitors are larger and have greater name recognition, the ability to more efficiently scale their business, more established operations, more customer relationships and greater financial and technical resources than we do.

------

**Any reduction in our spending may not achieve the desired result or may result in a reduction in revenue.**

Our increased emphasis on profitability and cash flow generation may not be successful. We intend to maintain our total costs as a percentage of revenue, primarily by lowering our operating expenses. There can be no assurances that our cost reduction initiatives will result in the cost savings that we anticipate as a percentage of our revenue and will not have unintended or unforeseen consequences, including a further reduction in revenue. Furthermore, our focus on reducing our spending may make it more difficult for us to compete given the rapid technological changes in our industry and the need for innovation.

**Churn in our customer base adversely impacts our revenue and requires us to spend money to retain existing customers and to capture replacement customers. If we experience increases in customer churn in the future, our revenue growth will be adversely impacted and our customer retention costs will increase.**

Our customers may elect not to renew their subscriptions at the end of their contractual commitments, either entirely or by reducing the contracted services, resulting in reduced revenue from those customers. Because of churn in our customer base, we must acquire new customers and sell additional 8x8 products and services to our existing customers on an ongoing basis to maintain our current level of revenue. As a result, sales and marketing expenditures are an ongoing requirement of our business. Our ability to maintain and grow our revenue is adversely impacted by the rate at which our customers cancel or downgrade services. Churn reduces our revenue growth rate, and if our churn rate increases, we must acquire even more new customers and/or sell more products and services to existing customers, to maintain and grow our revenue. We incur significant costs to acquire new customers, and those costs are a meaningful component in driving our net profitability. Churn may also prevent us from increasing the price of our services in the future, and limit our ability to sell additional 8x8 products and services to our existing customers, so we may need to renew certain customers at a lower rate, each of which would adversely impact our revenue in the future. Therefore, if we are unsuccessful in managing our existing customer churn and/or our customer churn rate increases in the future, our revenue growth would decrease and our revenue may decline, causing our net loss to increase.

Our rate of customer cancellations or downgrades in services may increase in future periods due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as the financial condition of our customers, the general economic environment, or significant shifts in geopolitical stability that affect global markets. Additionally, challenges in international expansion, including navigating diverse regulatory landscapes and adapting to local market conditions, may influence our ability to maintain or grow our customer base in certain regions. Pricing, competitive products, and migration of our customers from legacy products can all contribute to churn. If we are unable to maintain the quality and performance of our service, whether due to a lack of feature parity or quality of service relative to the products of our competitors or service outages or disruptions, we could experience potentially sharp increases in customer cancellations, downgrades and/or customer credits, which would adversely impact our revenue.

**Our success hinges on our ability to acquire new customers and retain and sell additional services to our existing customers.**

We generate revenue primarily from the sale of subscriptions to our cloud communications services to our customers, which include small business, mid-market and enterprise customers as well as government agencies and other organizations. Our future success depends on our ability to increase the amount of revenue we generate from new and existing customers.

If our sales and marketing efforts are not effective in identifying and qualifying prospective new customers, demonstrating the quality, value, features and capabilities of our solutions to those prospects and promoting our brand generally, we may not be able to acquire new customers at the rate necessary to achieve our revenue targets. We must also continue to design, develop, offer and sell services with quality, cost, features and capabilities that compare favorably to those offered by our competitors. As our target markets mature, or as competitors introduce lower cost and/or more differentiated products or services that compete or are perceived to compete with ours, we may be unable to attract new customers, on favorable terms, or at all, which could have an adverse effect on our revenue.

In addition to acquiring new customers, we generate new revenue by selling to our existing customers additional quantities of subscribed services, or subscriptions to new or upgraded services. Particularly in the case of large enterprises, we often have opportunities to expand the sale of our services within an organization after we have completed an initial sale to one part of the organization (for example, a business unit, division or department, or personnel based in a particular country or region) and the organization has qualified us as a vendor. We invest in efforts to educate and train users on the features and capabilities of our services so that they can become advocates within their organizations and encourage increased adoption of our solutions. However, if existing users within an organization are dissatisfied with any aspect of our cloud services, or the technical support, training or other professional services we provide, we may face challenges in up-selling or increasing our penetration of the organization.

**Intense competition for new customers and retention of existing customers (including pricing pressure) in the markets in which we compete may prevent us from increasing or sustaining our revenue growth, or achieving and maintaining profitability, which could materially harm our business.**

The cloud communications industry is competitive and rapidly evolving. We expect the industry to be increasingly competitive in the future due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, the entry into the market of new competitors or the consolidation of existing competitors. Because we offer multiple services from a single platform, we compete with businesses in several overlapping industries, including voice, video meetings, chat, team messaging, contact center and enterprise-class application program interface solutions.

------

In connection with our voice, video meetings, chat, team messaging, contact center, and enterprise-class application program interface solutions, we face competition from other cloud service providers such as RingCentral, Inc., Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc., Zoom Video Communications, Inc., Ericsson, Five9, Inc., NICE inContact, Inc., Talkdesk, Inc., and Twilio Inc., among others, as well as from legacy on-premises communications equipment providers, such as Avaya, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., and Mitel Networks Corp.

We also face intense competition from Internet and cloud service companies such as Alphabet Inc. (Google Voice and Google Meet), Amazon Inc., and Microsoft Corporation. Some of these competitors have developed software solutions for their respective communications and/or collaboration products, such as Microsoft, which has invested significantly in its Microsoft Teams unified communication and collaboration product. Any of these companies could launch a new cloud-based business communications service, expand its existing offerings to compete with features of our services, or enter into a strategic partnership with, or complete an acquisition of, one or more of our cloud communications competitors. These companies are also able to integrate and bundle their services with a larger portfolio of offerings, which may make our products and services less appealing in comparison.

Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater resources, brand awareness and/or name recognition, more diversified offerings and a larger base of customers than we have. As a result, these competitors may have greater credibility with our existing and potential customers, and we may not have the financial or other resources to compete effectively. They also may adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products and services. Our competitors may also offer bundled service arrangements that present a more differentiated or better integrated product and services to customers. Increased competition could require us to lower our prices, reduce our sales revenue, increase our gross losses or cause us to lose market share.

Announcements or expectations for the introduction of new products and technologies by competitors or us, or the development of entirely new technologies to replace existing offerings, such as AI-powered communication and collaboration tools, could make our platform obsolete or cause customers to defer purchases of our existing products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

In addition, Amazon, Twilio, Microsoft and Salesforce, among others, have introduced solutions aimed at companies who wish to build their own contact centers and/or contact center components with developers. Customer relationship management, or CRM, vendors are increasingly offering features and functionality, including AI contact center solutions, that compete with contact center providers, including us. CRM vendors also continue to partner with, and may in the future acquire, contact center service providers to provide integrated solutions.

These factors could cause CRM vendors to reduce or terminate their partnerships with us. Because CRM integration and partnerships are critical to the success of our solution, these factors could harm our revenue and results of operations. We also see competition from new market entrants in AI that offer generative AI solutions that compete as point products in the market.

Given the significant price competition in the markets for our services, we may be at a disadvantage compared with those competitors who have substantially greater resources than us or may otherwise be better positioned to withstand an extended period of downward pricing pressure. The harm to our business may be magnified if we are unable to adjust our expenses to compensate for such shortfall, or if we determine that we need to increase our marketing and sales efforts to attract new customers and retain existing customers.

As the portion of our revenue increases that is usage-based or short-term subscription based, as opposed to longer-term subscriptions, we have increased exposure to macroeconomic volatility as customers can more easily reduce consumption or churn without breaching contracts.

**Failure to grow and manage our network of indirect sales channels partners could materially and adversely impact our revenue in the future.**

Our future business success, particularly to attract and support larger customers and expand into international markets, depends on our indirect sales channels. These channels consist of technology solutions distributors and subagents, independent software vendors, system integrators, value-added resellers, and internet service providers, among others. We typically contract directly with the end customer and use these channel partners to identify, qualify and manage prospects throughout the sales cycle, although we also have arrangements with partners who purchase our services for resale to their own customers. Our future success depends upon our ability to develop and maintain successful relationships with these business partners, many of whom also market and sell services of our competitors, and our ability to increase the portion of sales opportunities they refer to us. To do so, we must continue to offer services that have quality, price, features, and other elements that compare favorably to those of competing services, ensure our partners are adequately trained and knowledgeable about our services, and provide sufficient incentives for these partners to sell our services over those of our competitors while maintaining a cost-effective agency structure. If we are unable to persuade our existing business partners to increase their sales of our services or to build successful partnerships with new organizations, or if our channel partners are unsuccessful in their marketing and sales efforts, we may not be able to grow our business and increase our revenue at the rate we predict, or at all, and our business may be materially adversely affected.

------

**As we increase sales to enterprise customers, our sales process has become more complex and resource-intensive, our average sales cycle has become longer, and the difficulty in predicting when sales will be completed has increased.**

We currently derive a majority of our revenue from sales of our cloud software solutions to mid-market and enterprise customers, and we believe that increasing our sales to these customers is the key to our future growth. Our sales cycle, which is the time between initial contact with a potential customer and the ultimate sale to that customer, is often lengthy and unpredictable for larger enterprise customers. Many of our prospective enterprise customers do not have prior experience with cloud-based communications or contact centers, and may not appreciate the benefits of a unified platform for both. Therefore, they typically spend significant time and resources evaluating our solutions before they purchase from us. Similarly, we typically spend more time and effort determining their requirements and educating these customers about the benefits and uses of our solutions. Enterprise customers also tend to demand more customizations, integrations, and additional features than smaller customers. As a result, we may be required to divert more sales and engineering resources to a smaller number of large transactions than we have in the past, which means that we will have less personnel available to support other sectors, or we will need to hire additional personnel, which would increase our operating expenses.

It is often difficult for us to forecast when a potential enterprise sale will close, the size of the customer's initial service order, and the period over which the implementation will occur, any of which may impact the amount of revenue we recognize or the timing of revenue recognition. Enterprise customers may delay their purchases from one quarter to another as they assess their budget constraints, negotiate early contract terminations with their existing providers, or wait for us to develop new features. Any delay in closing, or failure to close, a large enterprise sales opportunity in a particular quarter or year could significantly harm our projected growth rates and cause the amount of new sales we book to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. We also may have to delay revenue recognition on some of these transactions until the customer's technical or implementation requirements have been met.

**The market for cloud software solutions is subject to rapid technological change, and we depend on new product and service introductions in order to maintain and grow our business.**

We operate in an emerging market that is characterized by rapid changes in customer requirements, frequent introductions of new and enhanced products and services, and continuing and rapid technological advancement, particularly in AI and machine learning. To compete successfully in this emerging market, we must continue to design, develop, manufacture, and sell highly scalable new and enhanced cloud software solutions products and services that provide higher levels of performance and reliability at lower cost. We will need to invest significantly in developing AI and automation capabilities for our products, as companies that are slow to adopt these technologies may face a competitive disadvantage. If we are unable to develop new products and services that address our customers' needs, deliver our cloud software solution applications in one seamless integrated service offering that addresses our customers' needs, or enhance and improve our products and services in a timely manner, we may not be able to achieve or maintain adequate market acceptance of our services. Further, overreliance on AI and automation could lead to service disruptions, or our customers' reliance on AI or automation could result in job cuts to roles in their IT departments which we have traditionally sold to, all of which may impact our ability to sell our products.

The competitive landscape is rapidly evolving, with new market entrants leveraging AI technologies, existing competitors engaging in M&A to strengthen their market position, and large well-capitalized companies potentially poised to enter the market in a targeted way. We face intense competition from other providers of UCaaS, CCaaS, CPaaS, messaging, video, fax, virtual events, AI (including quality management, sales assistant and other AI-driven functionalities), virtual assistant, work-force management/optimization and other communication products and services. This is particularly acute as AI and automation continue to transform our industry, and we face the increasing risk that certain of our products and services may become redundant, obsolete, or less relevant.

Developing new AI-powered features and products requires substantial investment and comes with risks around our ability to develop and integrate the technology in a timely and cost-effective manner, gain market acceptance, and deliver the required levels of performance and reliability. If our AI investments do not accurately anticipate demand or we fail to develop our AI capabilities in a manner that satisfies customer preferences, we may fail to retain existing customers or attract new ones. We have in the past experienced delays in new feature releases and may discover defects in new AI-powered services and applications after their introduction. Other well-capitalized competitors may spend more than we do to develop AI-related offerings, which in turn could impact our competitive position in the marketplace.

To the extent that we are unable to achieve market acceptance of our UCaaS, CCaaS, and CPaaS products and services, we may be unable to recoup our research and development and marketing costs on the schedule we anticipated, and our results of operations may suffer.

**We may have difficulty attracting or retaining senior management and other personnel with the industry experience and technical skills necessary to support our desired growth.**

Companies in the cloud communications industry compete aggressively for top talent in all areas of business, but particularly in senior management, sales and marketing, professional services, and engineering, where employees with industry experience, technical knowledge and specialized skill sets are particularly valued. In response to a competitive hiring environment, some of our competitors are responding by increasing employee compensation, paying more on average than we pay for the same position or offering more attractive equity compensation. Any such disparity in compensation could make us less attractive to candidates as a potential employer, which in turn may make it more difficult for us to hire and retain qualified employees, including senior executives. Training an individual who lacks prior cloud communications experience to be successful in a sales or technical role can take months or even years.

If an employee of 8x8 leaves to work for a competitor, not only are we impacted by the loss of the individual resource, but we also face the risk that the individual will share our trade secrets with the competitor in violation of his or her contractual and legal obligations to us. To the extent we hire personnel from competitors, we may be subject to allegations that they have been improperly solicited or divulged proprietary or other confidential information. Our competitors have in the past and may in the future target their hiring efforts on a particular department, and if we lose a group of employees to a competitor over a short time period, our day-to-day operations may be impaired. While we may have remedies available to us through litigation, these would likely take significant time and expense and be ineffective to the immediate operational risk as well as divert management attention from other areas of the business.

The labor market for our business is subject to external factors that are beyond our control, including our industry's highly competitive market for skilled workers and leaders. If we increase employee compensation (beyond levels that reflect customary performance-based and/or cost-of-living adjustments) in response to the competitive hiring environment, we may sustain greater operating losses than we predicted in the near term, and we may not achieve profitability within the timeframe we had expected, or at all. In addition, we may need to issue equity at increased levels, now and in the future, to attract and retain key employees and executives, including weighting a greater percentage of our employees' total compensation in the form of equity as opposed to cash, which will have the adverse effect of increasing dilution for our stockholders.

Volatility or lack of appreciation in our stock price may also affect our ability to attract and retain our employees. Our employees may be more likely to leave if the shares they own or the shares underlying their equity awards have not significantly appreciated or declined relative to the original purchase or grant price. If we cannot hire new employees, retain existing employees, or need to increase our compensation expenses to retain employees, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

**We face risks related to acquisitions now and in the future that may divert management's attention, result in dilution to stockholders, and consume resources that are necessary to sustain and grow our existing business.**

Although we have acquired several companies and business units in recent years, we have limited experience with purchasing and integrating other businesses, especially relatively larger businesses. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future or negotiate and complete acquisitions on favorable terms.

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, and there is no guarantee that we will ultimately strengthen our competitive position or achieve other benefits expected from the transaction. Among others, potential risks of acquisitions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may experience difficulty and delays in integrating the products, technology platform, operations, systems and personnel of the acquired business with our own, particularly if the acquired business is outside of our core competencies, has significant international operations or weaker internal controls;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may not be able to manage the acquired business effectively, which may limit our ability to realize the financial and strategic benefits expected from the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the acquisition and integration may divert management's attention from our day-to-day operations and disrupt the ordinary functioning of our ongoing business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may have difficulty establishing and maintaining appropriate governance, reporting relationships, policies, controls, and procedures for the acquired business, particularly if it is based in a country or region where we did not previously operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any failure to successfully manage the integration process may adversely impact relationships with, or result in increased churn or the loss of, our employees, suppliers, customers, and business partners, or those of the acquired business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may become subject to new or more stringent regulatory compliance obligations and costs by virtue of the acquisition, especially international acquisitions that may operate in new jurisdictions or geographic areas where we have no or limited experience;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may become subject to litigation, investigations, proceedings, fines or penalties arising from or relating to the acquisition or the acquired business, including tax obligations or legal claims arising from the activities of the businesses we acquire, and any resulting liabilities may exceed our forecasts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may acquire businesses with different revenue models, customer concentration risks, and contractual relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may assume long-term contractual obligations, commitments or liabilities (for example, those relating to leased facilities), which could adversely impact our efforts to achieve and maintain profitability and impair our cash flow;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology and accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition, including accounting charges;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the acquisition may create a drag on our overall revenue growth rate, which could lead analysts and investors to reduce their valuation of our Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may be exposed to existing cybersecurity risks not identified prior to an acquisition or an acquired business' cybersecurity controls may be materially weaker than ours, which could impact our core operations until mitigated.

In addition, we may have to pay cash, incur debt, or issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition, each of which could affect our financial condition or the value of our capital stock. The sale of equity to finance any such acquisitions could result in dilution to our stockholders. If we incur more debt, it would result in increased fixed obligations and could also subject us to covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to flexibly operate our business. Furthermore, acquisitions may require large one-time charges and can result in increased debt or contingent liabilities, adverse tax consequences, additional stock-based compensation expense and the recording and subsequent amortization or impairments of amounts related to certain purchased intangible assets or goodwill, any of which could negatively impact our future results of operations.

As a result of these potential problems and risks, among others, businesses that we may acquire or invest in may not produce the revenue, competitive advantages, or business synergies that we anticipate, and the results and effects of any such acquisition may not be favorable enough to justify the amount of consideration we pay or the other investments we make in the acquired business.

**Taxing authorities have asserted, and could in the future assert, that we should have collected or in the future should collect sales and use, value added, goods and services, telecommunications or other indirect taxes, fees, or surcharges, including on similar services for which our competitors may not be subject to the same obligations. As a result, we could be subject to liability with respect to past or future sales, which have and could adversely affect our business.**

The applicability of state and local taxes, fees, surcharges or similar taxes to our services is complex, ambiguous, and subject to interpretation and change. In the United States, for example, we collect state and local taxes, gross receipts, excise and utility user taxes, as well as other applicable telecommunications taxes, fees and surcharges based on our understanding of the applicable laws in the relevant jurisdictions. The taxing authorities may challenge our interpretation of the laws and may assess additional taxes or fees, as well as associated penalties and interests, which could have adverse effects on the results of operations and, to the extent we pass these through to our customers, demand for our services. Additionally, the applicability of sales and use, value added, goods and services, telecommunications or other indirect taxes, fees, or surcharges may differ between services such as unified communication, voice, video, contact center, and platform communications so that the obligations to collect taxes from customers may vary between services and between companies such that we may be obligated to collect taxes at a higher rate that other services from our competitors, thereby impacting customer demand for our services. Periodically, we have received inquiries from state and municipal taxing agencies with respect to the remittance of state or local taxes, fees, or surcharges. Currently, several jurisdictions are conducting audits of 8x8; in the event our positions are unsuccessful, we may be subject to tax payments, interest, and penalties in excess of those that we have accrued for. As of March 31, 2026, we have paid or accrued for state or local taxes, fees, and surcharges that we believe are required to be remitted.

**Changes in, or interpretations of, tax rules and regulations or our tax positions may materially and adversely affect our income taxes.**

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and various jurisdictions outside of the United States. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis due to a number of factors, including changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates.

Changes in tax laws, including recently enacted U.S. federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA"), tax rulings, or interpretations of existing laws, could also cause us to be subject to additional 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.

As another example, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD") has proposed a global minimum tax ("Pillar Two"), contemplating a minimum tax rate of 15% for large multinational companies, and various countries have proposed or enacted implementing legislation. Notwithstanding the OECD's side-by-side elective safe harbor announced in January 2026 for U.S. parented groups, we may still face increased tax rates, compliance complexity and tax provision volatility as jurisdictions we operate in adopt local Pillar Two or similar legislation, and our financial performance may result in us meeting the threshold requirements in the different jurisdictions in which we operate.

**Our ability to use our net operating losses or research tax credits to offset future taxable income is subject to certain limitations.**

As of March 31, 2026, we had federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $994.7 million, of which $307.6 million are related to years prior to fiscal 2019 and begin to expire in 2035. The remaining $687.1 million carries forward indefinitely, but can only be used to apply up to 80% of the Company's taxable income for a given tax year. As of March 31, 2026, the Company also had state NOL carryforwards of $885.5 million, the majority of which will expire at various dates between 2027 and 2046. In addition, as of March 31, 2026, the Company had research and development credit carryforwards for federal and California tax purposes of approximately $15.6 million and $25.1 million, respectively. The federal income tax credit carryforwards will expire at various dates between calendar years 2037 and 2046, while the California income tax credits will carry forward indefinitely.

Utilization of our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards can become subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. A Section 382 ownership change generally occurs if one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders who own at least 5% of the stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. In addition, California has enacted legislation that limits the use of NOLs and tax credits for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and before January 1, 2027, which may adversely affect our Company if it earns taxable income in the impacted tax years.

Such an ownership change, or any future ownership change, could have a material effect on our ability to utilize the NOLs or research credit carryforwards. Changes in tax law or our mix in earnings or other unforeseen reasons could also result in our existing NOLs expiring or otherwise becoming unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities, which could have a material impact on our net income (loss) in future periods.

**We may incur impairments to goodwill, intangible assets, or long-lived assets which could negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.**

The Company has a substantial amount of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company performs an annual test for indications of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets impairment and more often if indicators of impairment exist. The impairment evaluation requires significant judgment and estimates by management, and unfavorable changes in these assumptions or other factors could result in future impairment charges and have a significant adverse impact on the Company's reported earnings. Such factors include macroeconomic conditions in equity and credit markets, broader industry and market considerations, cost factors including materials and labor cost, and the operating and financial performance of the Company. Additionally, a decline in the market valuation of the Company's common stock, whether related to the Company or overall market conditions, could adversely impact the assumptions used to perform the evaluation of its goodwill, indefinitely-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets.

**Risks Related to our Products and Operations**

**As AI solutions perform an increasing proportion of interactions, if we cannot replace decreases in subscription revenue from licenses with revenue from increases in the use of our consumption- and usage-based services (much of which is driven by additional AI solutions), our revenue, results of operations and business will be harmed.**

AI solutions will likely perform an increasing proportion of interactions, especially contact center interactions, particularly for customer self-service, slowing the growth of interactions handled by live agents. This may result in a decrease in seat-based license revenues from our installed customer base, as well as a decrease in seat-based license revenue opportunities from new customers, that may not be offset by an increase in consumption- and usage-based revenue, much of which will come from our AI solutions. Some customers may also use AI solutions offered by other companies, which would harm our ability to replace lost seat-based license revenue. Our industry, and in particular, the contact center industry, is in the early stages of this transition to AI and consumption- and usage-based pricing, making it very difficult to forecast customer behavior or the impact on our revenue or results of operations in the near- and longer-term. If we are unable to offset decreases in seat-based license revenue with consumption- and usage-based revenue, including revenue from the sale of additional AI solutions, our revenue, results of operations and business will be harmed.

------

**If our platform or services experience significant or repeated disruptions, outages, or failures due to defects, bugs, vulnerabilities, or similar software problems, or if we fail to determine the cause of any disruption or failure and correct it promptly, we could lose customers, become subject to service performance or warranty claims, or incur significant costs, reducing our revenue and adversely affecting our operating results.**

Our customers use our communications services to manage important aspects of their businesses, and any errors, defects, outages, or disruptions to our service or other performance problems with our service (such as those we have experienced and may encounter again), including those related to AI technologies or dependencies on third-party services, could hurt our reputation and may damage our customers' businesses, any of which may result in our granting of credits to customers that in turn would reduce our revenue. Our services and the systems infrastructure underlying our cloud communications platform, including firewalls, switches and routers, incorporate software that is highly technical and complex. Our software and network infrastructure configurations have contained, and may now or in the future contain, undetected errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities, including those introduced by AI-powered features. Such weaknesses could be exploited by hackers. These vulnerabilities include, but are not limited to, risks from ransomware, sophisticated nation-state attacks, and emerging malware threats. We continuously monitor these threats and work to update our defenses in response. Such weaknesses have also been the cause of, and may in the future cause, temporary service outages or other disruptions for some customers, potentially leading to significant financial and reputational damage. Our cybersecurity response plan includes incident response teams and system updates to mitigate these risks.

Some errors in our software code may not be discovered until after the code has been released. Any errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities discovered in our code after release could result in damage to our reputation, loss of customers, loss of revenue, or liability for service credits or damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results. We implement bug fixes and upgrades as part of our regularly scheduled system maintenance, which may lead to system downtime, but some known vulnerabilities may take increased time to address due to other system dependencies. Even if we are able to implement the bug fixes and upgrades in a timely manner, any history of defects, reliance on vulnerable third-party services, or the loss, damage, or inadvertent release of confidential customer data, could cause our reputation to be harmed, and customers may elect not to purchase or renew their agreements with us and subject us to service performance credits, warranty claims or increased insurance costs. The costs associated with any material defects or errors in our software or other performance problems may be substantial and could materially adversely affect our operating results.

**Our industry is subject to rapid technological change, and we must develop and sell incremental and new features and components of our solutions to maintain and grow our business.**

Each of the UCaaS, CCaaS and CPaaS solutions markets, as well as our industry in general, is characterized by rapid changes in customer requirements, frequent introductions of new and enhanced products and features and continuing and rapid technological advancement. In particular, these changes pose significant challenges to the traditional contact center software solutions market, as AI solutions become increasingly capable of handling such interactions, thus displacing the legacy human customer service-agent model. To compete successfully, we must continue to devote significant resources to design, develop, deploy and sell new and enhanced solutions, applications and features that provide increasingly higher, or more advanced, capabilities, performance and stability at lower cost. In addition, we have, and will continue to, make significant investments in AI-based capabilities to enhance our solutions. If we are unable to develop or acquire new features for our existing solutions or new applications that achieve market acceptance or keep pace with technological developments, our business would be harmed.

We are focused on enhancing the reliability, features and functionality of our solutions to enhance their utility to our customers, particularly larger customers, with complex, dynamic and global operations. In addition, cloud-based technology advancements in areas such as AI are designed to enable improved customer experiences, significant operational efficiencies and business insights. The success of these enhancements depends on many factors, including timely development, introduction and market acceptance, as well as our ability to transition our existing customers to these new solutions, applications and features. To the extent that these enhancements are made as a result of acquisitions, our success also depends on our ability to integrate the acquired technology with our existing solutions. Any failure may significantly impair our revenue growth. In addition, because our solutions are designed to operate on a variety of systems, we need to continuously modify and enhance our solutions to keep pace with changes in hardware, operating systems, the increasing trend toward multi-channel communications and other changes to software technologies. We may not be successful in developing, acquiring or integrating these modifications and enhancements or bringing them to market in a timely fashion. Furthermore, uncertainties about the timing and nature of new network platforms or technologies, or modifications to existing platforms or technologies, could delay introduction of changes and updates to our solution and increase our research and development expenses. Any failure of our solutions to operate effectively, including with future network platforms and technologies, could reduce the demand for our solution, result in customer dissatisfaction and harm our business.

**Our physical infrastructure is concentrated in a few facilities (i.e., data centers and public cloud providers), and any failure in our physical infrastructure or service outages could lead to significant costs and/or disruptions and could reduce our revenue, harm our business reputation and have a material adverse effect on our financial results.**

Our leased network and data centers, as well as public cloud infrastructure, are subject to various points of failure. Problems with cooling equipment, generators, uninterruptible power supply, routers, switches, or other equipment, including the software installed on such equipment, whether or not within our control, often managed by third-party service providers, expose us to cybersecurity risks such as unauthorized access or data breaches. These incidents have led to service interruptions and may continue to do so. These incidents could result in further service interruptions for our customers as well as equipment damage, significantly impacting our operational capability and customer satisfaction.

Our infrastructure is consolidated into a few large data center facilities distributed globally across different regions. Any failure or downtime in one of our data center facilities could affect a significant percentage of our customers. The total destruction, closure, or severe impairment of any of our data center facilities could result in significant downtime of our services and the loss of customer data. Because our ability to attract and retain customers depends on our ability to provide customers with highly reliable service, even minor interruptions in our service could harm our reputation. Additionally, in connection with the expansion or consolidation of our existing data center facilities from time to time, there is an increased risk that service interruptions may occur as a result of server relocation or other unforeseen construction-related issues.

We have experienced interruptions in service in the past, including outages. The harm to our reputation is difficult to assess but has resulted and may result in the future in customer attrition. We have taken and continue to take steps to improve our infrastructure to prevent service interruptions, including upgrading our electrical and mechanical infrastructure. However, service interruptions continue to be a significant risk for us and could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Any future service interruptions could:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cause our customers to seek service credits or damages for losses incurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• require us to replace existing equipment or add redundant facilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• affect our reputation as a reliable provider of communications services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cause existing customers to cancel or elect to not renew their contracts; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make it more difficult for us to attract new customers.

We may be required to transfer our servers to new data center facilities or public cloud load to a different public cloud provider in the event that we are unable to renew our agreement or leases on acceptable terms, or at all, or the owners of the facilities decide to close their facilities, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in doing so. In addition, any financial difficulties, such as bankruptcy or foreclosure, faced by our third-party data center operators, or any of the service providers with which we or they contract, may have negative effects on our business, the nature and extent of which are difficult to predict. If our data centers or our public cloud providers are unable to keep up with our increasing needs for capacity, our ability to grow our business could be materially and adversely impacted.

**We may not be able to scale our business operations efficiently or quickly enough to meet our customers' growing needs, leading to increased customer churn and damage to our reputation and brand, each of which could harm our operating results.**

As usage of our cloud software solutions by small business, mid-market and enterprise customers expands and as customers continue to integrate our services across their enterprises, we are required to devote additional resources to improving our application architecture, integrating our products and applications across our technology platform, integrating with third-party systems, and maintaining infrastructure performance. To the extent we increase our customer base and as our customers gain more experience with our services, the number of users and transactions managed by our services, the amount of data transferred, processed, and stored by us, the number of locations where our service is being accessed, and the volume of communications managed by our services have in some cases, and may in the future, expand rapidly. In addition, the reliance on and integration with AI technologies and third-party services may increase operational complexities and dependencies, so we may need scale and modernize our internal business systems and our services organization, including customer support, sales operations, billing services, and regulatory, privacy and cybersecurity compliance, to serve our growing customer base. Further, any inability to manage or forecast the demands associated with such scalability, especially in the context of new or evolving data protection and privacy laws, or any other failure or delay in these efforts could cause impaired system performance and reduced customer satisfaction. These issues could adversely impact our reputation and brand and reduce the attractiveness of our cloud software solutions to customers, resulting in decreased sales to new customers, lower renewal rates by existing customers, and the issuance of service credits, or requested refunds, which could hurt our revenue growth and our reputation.

**Because our long-term growth strategy involves continued expansion outside the United States, our business will be susceptible to risks associated with international operations.**

An important component of our growth strategy involves the further expansion of our operations and customer base internationally. We have formed subsidiaries and expanded operations outside the United States, including a subsidiary in Romania that contributes significantly to our research and development efforts. Additionally, we have expanded into the United Kingdom, the EU, and Southeast Asia. The risks and challenges associated with sales and other operations outside the United States are different in some ways from those associated with our operations in the United States, and we have a limited history addressing those risks and meeting those challenges. Our current international operations and future initiatives will involve a variety of risks, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• localization of our services, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulation of our services as traditional telecommunications services, requiring us to obtain authorizations or licenses to operate in foreign jurisdictions, or alternatively preventing us from selling our full suite of services, or any services at all, in such jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in a specific country's or region's regulatory requirements, taxes, trade policies, tariffs, sanctions, trade laws, environmental laws, or political or economic condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased competition from regional and global cloud communications competitors in the various geographic markets in which we compete, where such markets may have different sales cycles, selling processes, and feature requirements, and may involve high levels of competition from local vendors that could require aggressive pricing strategies and adaptations to local market demands, which may limit our ability to compete effectively in different regions globally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• more stringent and evolving regulations relating to data security, data privacy, data protection, data localization, cybersecurity, consumer protection, the use of AI technologies, and the unauthorized use of, access to, and transfer of, commercial and personal information, particularly in the EU, and potentially conflicting privacy regulations that could complicate data management and compliance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• differing labor regulations, especially in the EU and Latin America, where labor laws are generally more advantageous to employees as compared to those in 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 an increased number of employees over large geographic distances, including the need to implement appropriate systems, policies, benefits, and compliance programs;

&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, which could delay or impede our ability to effectively launch our operations or scale them efficiently;

&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;• different pricing environments, longer sales cycles, longer accounts receivable payment cycles, and other collection difficulties;

&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;• limitations on our ability to reinvest earnings from operations in one country to fund the capital needs of our operations in other countries;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limited or insufficient intellectual property protection;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• political instability or terrorist activities, including the impact of geopolitical tensions in regions like Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, which could affect market stability and operations, or impact our employees located in those regions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a military conflict with China and/or Russia or other geopolitical conflicts between nation-states, that will likely involve cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, including, but not limited to, global data centers, power grids, and communication companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exposure to liabilities under anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdom Bribery Act 2010, trade and export laws such as those enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States Department of the Treasury, and similar laws and regulations in other jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continuing uncertainty regarding social, political, immigration, and tax and trade policies in the United States and abroad;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regional travel restrictions, business closures, government actions and other restrictions in connection with geopolitical instabilities or pandemics; and

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

We have limited experience in operating our business internationally, which increases the risk that any potential future expansion efforts that we may undertake will not be successful. We expect to invest substantial time and resources to expand our international operations. The significant resources, management attention and expenses required to ensure compliance with international regulations could adversely impact our operations and profitability. We may face operational challenges as we continue to grow our global presence, including difficulties managing foreign operations, localizing products, collecting receivables, relying on international partners, and navigating potential economic or political instability in new regions. If we are unable to do this successfully and in a timely manner, our international growth, business, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

------

**Global geopolitical developments, such as wars, sanctions, trade disputes, or other international tensions, could adversely affect us.**

Ongoing conflicts, including in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine, have led to and are expected to continue to lead to disruption, instability, and volatility in global markets and industries. Our business, including our significant engineering and operations presence in Romania which borders Ukraine, could be negatively impacted if the conflict were to expand into the surrounding countries. The United States and other governments have imposed severe sanctions and export controls against multiple countries, including Russia and Iran, which along with potential responses, could adversely affect our business, supply chain, partners, and customers.

Geopolitical destabilization, including the effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and U.S.-China trade tensions, could impact global currency exchange rates, supply chains, trade and movement of resources, commodity prices, and technology spending of our customers and potential customers. These may be due directly to actions of a government, such as the imposition of tariffs by one government and retaliatory actions by another government, or indirectly as such governmental actions negatively affect our customers or their propensity to purchase products and services from us. Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies could increase our international operating costs and expose us to foreign exchange rate risk, as some of our international agreements provide for payment in local currencies.

U.S. trade restrictions, tariffs and international trade tensions, particularly with China, may also directly increase our costs and limit access to international suppliers and markets. As we source telecom equipment internationally, trade tensions could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability if they restrict supply or increase prices of necessary components.

**If we do not or cannot maintain the compatibility of our communications and collaboration software with third-party applications and mobile platforms that our customers use in their businesses, our revenue could decline.**

The functionality and popularity of our cloud software solutions depend, in part, on our ability to integrate our services with third-party applications and platforms, including enterprise resource planning, customer relations management, human capital management, workforce management, and other proprietary application suites. Third-party providers of applications and application program interfaces may change the features of their applications and platforms, restrict our access to their applications and platforms or alter the terms governing use of their applications and application program interfaces and access to those applications and platforms in an adverse manner. Such changes could functionally limit or terminate our customers' ability to use these third-party applications and platforms in conjunction with our services, which could negatively impact our offerings and harm our business. If we fail to integrate our software with new third-party back-end enterprise applications and platforms used by our customers, we may not be able to offer the functionality that our customers need, which would negatively impact our ability to generate revenue and adversely impact our business.

Our services also allow our customers to use and manage our cloud software solutions on smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. As new smart devices and operating systems are released, we may encounter difficulties supporting these devices and services, and we may need to devote significant resources to the creation, support, and maintenance of our mobile applications. In addition, if we experience difficulties in the future integrating our mobile applications into smartphones, tablets, or other mobile devices or with certain communication platforms, such as Microsoft Teams, or if problems arise with our relationships with providers of mobile operating systems, such as those of Apple Inc. or Alphabet Inc., our future growth and our results of operations could suffer.

**To provide our services, we rely on third parties for our network service and connectivity, and any disruption or deterioration in the quality of these services or the increase in the costs we incur from these third parties could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.**

We rely on third-party network service providers to originate and terminate substantially all of the public switched telephone network calls using our cloud-based services. We leverage the infrastructure of third-party network service providers to provide telephone numbers, public switched telephone network call termination and origination services, and local number portability for our customers, rather than deploying our own network throughout the United States and internationally. We use the infrastructure of third-party network service providers, such as Equinix, Inc., and public cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services, Inc. and Oracle Corporation, to provide our cloud services over their networks rather than deploying our own network connectivity. These decisions have resulted in lower capital and operating costs for our business in the short-term but have reduced our operating flexibility and ability to make timely service changes. If any of these network service providers cease operations or otherwise terminate the services that we depend on or become unwilling to supply cost-effective services to us in the future, the delay in switching our technology to another network service provider, if available, and qualifying this new service provider could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results. In addition, the rates we pay to our network service providers and other intermediaries may also change more rapidly than the change in pricing we charge our customers, which may reduce our profitability and increase the retail price of our service. Furthermore, increased cybersecurity threats to infrastructure or heightened geopolitical tensions in regions where these third parties operate could exacerbate these risks, potentially leading to further operational disruptions and financial losses.

To the extent that we internally handle the origination and termination of public switched telephone network calls, which represent an increasing portion of the calls using our cloud-based services, we are subject to significant operational, technical, and regulatory risks. We are required to maintain infrastructure, systems, and capabilities for interconnection, routing, call quality

------

management, compliance with telecommunications regulations, lawful intercept capabilities, and support for local number portability. Building and operating these systems requires specialized expertise, and any failure to effectively manage this infrastructure could result in service disruptions, degraded call quality, regulatory non-compliance, or increased costs. If our internally managed services do not perform as reliably or cost-effectively as anticipated, or if we encounter unforeseen complexities in operating telecommunications infrastructure at scale, we may experience increased customer churn, damage to our brand, and adverse financial impacts. Our ability to manage these telecommunications services successfully depends on the timely and efficient execution by our technical, operational and legal teams, as well as continued investments in infrastructure, personnel, and compliance capabilities. If we are unable to do so, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

**We depend on third-party vendors for IP phones and certain software endpoints, and any delay or interruption in supply by these vendors would result in delayed or reduced shipments to our customers and may harm our business.**

We rely on third-party vendors for IP phones and software endpoints required to utilize our service. We currently do not have long-term supply contracts with any of these vendors. As a result, most of these third-party vendors are not obligated to provide products or services to us for any specific period, in any specific quantities, or at any specific price, except as may be provided in a particular purchase order.

The inability of these third-party vendors to deliver IP phones of acceptable quality and in a timely manner, particularly the sole source vendors, could adversely affect our operating results or cause them to fluctuate more than anticipated. Additionally, some of our products and services may require specialized or high-performance component parts that may not be available in quantities or in time frames that meet our requirements.

**Difficulty executing local number porting requests could negatively impact our business.**

The FCC and foreign regulators require Voice over Internet Protocol providers to support telephone number porting within specified timeframes. In order to port telephone numbers, we rely on third party telecommunications carriers to complete the process. Often, number ports take longer than the specified timeframes. For many potential customers, the ability to quickly port their existing telephone numbers into our service in a timely fashion is a very important consideration. To the extent that we cannot quickly port telephone numbers in, our ability to acquire new customers may be negatively impacted. To the extent that we cannot quickly port telephone numbers out when a customer leaves our service to go to another provider, we could be subject to regulatory enforcement action.

**Risks Related to Regulatory Matters**

**Cyber intrusions, breaches of our networks or systems or those of our service and cloud storage providers, and other malicious acts could adversely impact our business.**

Our business operations, from our internal and service operations to research and development activities, sales and marketing efforts and customer and partner communications, depend on our ability to protect our network from interruption by damage from hackers, social engineering and phishing, ransomware, and malicious code or software, including vulnerabilities in our network infrastructure such as firewalls, switches and routers, or similar disruptive problems or other events beyond our control. Individuals or entities have penetrated, and will attempt in the future to penetrate, our network security, and that of our platform, and try to cause harm to our business operations, including by misappropriating our proprietary information or that of our customers, employees and business partners or causing interruptions of our products and platform. In particular, cyberattacks and other malicious internet-based activity continue to increase in frequency and in magnitude both generally and specifically against us and other cloud-service providers. Ransomware attacks, including those perpetrated by organized criminal threat actors, nation-states, and nation-state-supported actors, are becoming increasingly prevalent and severe and can lead to significant interruptions in our operations, loss of data and income, reputational harm, and diversion of funds. Geopolitical tensions and events, such as the war between Russia and Ukraine and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, may create heightened risks to us and our vendors, business partners, and consultants of cyber-attacks from nation-state actors or their affiliated entities, including attacks that could materially disrupt our systems and operations, supply chain, and ability to provide our services. As a result, we routinely investigate security incidents, which have occurred in the past and may occur in the future, that result in unauthorized access to, loss or unauthorized disclosure of, or inadvertent disclosure of confidential, proprietary, and sensitive information.

We continue to implement new technological measures to prevent, detect, and contain such intrusions as well as build and strengthen ongoing employee awareness, education and training, but we cannot guarantee we will be able to prevent, detect or contain all future cyber intrusions, nor can we guarantee that our backup systems, regular data backups, security protocols, denial or disruption of service (DDoS) mitigation, and other procedures that are currently in place, or may be in place in the future, will be adequate to prevent significant damage, system failure, or data loss.

If our security measures are compromised, which has occurred in the past, our reputation could be damaged. Actual or perceived security gaps or security compromises experienced in our industry or by our competitors, our customers, a third party with whom we work, or us could cause us to experience adverse consequences, which could be material in the future, such as government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; restrictions on processing sensitive data (including personal information); litigation (including class action claims); indemnification obligations; negative publicity; reputational harm; monetary fund diversions; diversion of management attention; interruptions in our operations (including availability of data); financial loss; and other similar harms.

------

Inherent in our provision of services are the storage, processing, and transmission of our customers' data, which may include confidential and sensitive information that may be stored or transmitted by means not designed for confidential or sensitive information, such as the processing or storing of protected health information or payment card information in free-form text fields provided for other purposes. This exposes us to significant cybersecurity risks, including data breaches and unauthorized data access, which could compromise customer trust and subject us to financial and legal penalties. Customers may use our services to store, process, and transmit a wide variety of confidential and sensitive information, such as credit card, bank account, and other financial information, proprietary information, trade secrets, or other data that may be protected by sector-specific laws and regulations, like intellectual property laws, laws addressing the protection of personally identifiable information (or personal data in the EU), as well as the Federal Communications Commission's, or the FCC's, customer proprietary network information, or CPNI, rules. We also face the risk of changes in cybersecurity laws and regulations which could impose additional compliance costs or challenges. Additionally, we closely monitor legislative developments to swiftly adapt our practices, ensuring ongoing compliance and protection against emerging threats. We may be the target of direct or indirect cyber threats and security breaches, given the nature of the information that we store, process, and transmit and the fact that we provide communications services to a broad range of businesses. To the extent that state-sponsored incidents of cybersecurity breaches increase due to geopolitical tensions, this risk may continue to increase.

In addition, we use third-party vendors, which in some cases have access to our data and our customers' data. Despite the implementation of security measures by us or our vendors, our computing devices, infrastructure, or networks, or our vendors' computing devices, infrastructure, or networks may be vulnerable to hackers, social engineering and phishing, ransomware, and malicious code or software, or similar disruptive problems due to a security vulnerability in our or our vendors' infrastructure or network, or our vendors, customers, employees, business partners, consultants, or other internet users who attempt to invade our or our vendors' public and private computers, tablets, mobile devices, software, data networks, or voice networks. We also continue to incorporate AI solutions and features into our platform, which may result in security incidents or otherwise increase cybersecurity risks. Further, as AI capabilities improve and are increasingly adopted, they may be used in cybersecurity attacks, including by bad actors to identify vulnerabilities and craft increasingly sophisticated attacks, resulting in heightened risks of security breaches and incidents. If there is a security vulnerability in our or our vendors' infrastructure or networks that is successfully targeted, we could face increased costs, liability claims, government investigations, fines, penalties or forfeitures, class action litigation, reduced revenue, or harm to our reputation or competitive position.

We also rely on various third-party service providers to operate our platform and deliver our products, including network service providers, internet service providers, telecommunications carriers, providers of cloud infrastructure and cloud communications, and third-party technology and intellectual property. Our service providers (or their sub-service providers) have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, security breaches and incidents, including unauthorized access or inadvertent disclosures, that have exposed and may expose or make available to threat actors our data or that of our customers. Even when our systems are not compromised, if our service providers experience breaches or incidents that impact our data or our customers' data, then our reputation, customer trust, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Laws, regulations, and enforcement actions relating to security and privacy of information continue to evolve. For example, in 2023, the SEC adopted cybersecurity risk management and disclosure rules, which require the disclosure of information pertaining to cybersecurity incidents and cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance. Additionally, we are closely monitoring the development of rules and guidance that may apply to us, including, for example, pursuant to the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022. The FCC formed the Privacy and Data Protection Task Force that focuses on approaches to data breaches and data security vulnerabilities, which may result in future privacy rulemaking and enforcement initiatives. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant expenses to prevent security incidents. Determining whether a cybersecurity incident is notifiable or reportable may not be straightforward and may be costly and could lead to negative publicity, loss of customer or partner confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures, diversion of management's attention, governmental investigations, and the expenditure of significant capital and other resources to respond to or alleviate problems caused by the actual or perceived security breach. It is possible that, in order to support changes to applicable laws and to support our expansion of sales into new geographic areas or into new industry segments, we will need to change or enhance our cybersecurity systems, which may make it more expensive to operate in certain jurisdictions and may also increase the risk of our non-compliance with such changing laws and regulations.

**We could be liable for breaches of security on our website, fraudulent, improper or illegal activities by our users, or the failure of third-party vendors to deliver credit card transaction processing services, which could result in claims, increase the cost of operations or otherwise harm our business and reputation.**

A fundamental requirement for operating an Internet-based, worldwide cloud software solution and electronically billing our customers is the secure transmission of confidential information and media over public networks. Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect consumer information and prevent fraudulent credit card transactions and other security breaches, failure to mitigate such fraud or breaches may subject us to costly breach notification and other mitigation obligations, class action lawsuits, investigations, fines, forfeitures or penalties from governmental agencies that could adversely affect our operating results.

------

The law relating to the liability of providers of online payment services is currently unsettled and states may enact their own rules with which we may not comply. We rely on third-party providers to process and guarantee payments made by our subscribers up to certain limits, and we may be unable to prevent our customers from fraudulently receiving goods and services. Our liability risk will increase if a larger fraction of transactions affected using our cloud-based services involves fraudulent or disputed credit card transactions.

We may also experience losses due to subscriber fraud and theft of service. Subscribers have, in the past, obtained access to our service without paying for monthly service and international toll calls by unlawfully using our authorization codes or by submitting fraudulent credit card information. If our existing anti-fraud procedures are not adequate or effective, consumer fraud and theft of service could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Similarly, bad actors may use our products to promote their goals and encourage users to engage in improper, illegal or otherwise inappropriate activities. There have been instances where improper or illegal content may have been shared on our platform without our knowledge. As a service provider, and as a matter of policy, we do not monitor user meetings. Our terms of service prohibit such conduct. Despite our efforts to implement measures to prevent such activities, there is no guarantee that these measures will be effective or successful in all cases. If we are unable to adequately manage these risks, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

While to date we have not been subject to material legal or administrative actions as a result of improper or illegal content, the laws in this area are currently in a state of flux and vary widely between jurisdictions. Accordingly, it may be possible that in the future, we and our competitors may be subject to legal or regulatory actions along with the users who shared such content. In addition, regardless of any legal liability we may face, if there is an incident generating extensive negative publicity about the content shared on our platform, our business and reputation could be harmed.

**Failure to comply with laws and contractual obligations related to data privacy and protection could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.**

We process many types of data, including personal data in the course of our business. As such, we are subject to the data privacy and protection laws and regulations adopted by federal, state and foreign governmental agencies, including the EU's GDPR, the UK's Data Protection Act 2018, the CCPA/CPRA, and privacy laws enacted in Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Montana, New Hampshire, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. We are also subject to laws like the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which impose specific requirements around the resilience of information and communication technology systems and third-party risk management. Data privacy and protection are highly regulated in many jurisdictions and may become the subject of additional regulation in the future. For example, lawmakers and regulators worldwide are considering proposals that would require companies, like us, that encrypt user data to ensure access to such data by law enforcement authorities. In addition, several additional states have comprehensive privacy laws that became effective in 2025 or will become effective in the near term, including Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Rhode Island, and Tennessee. Privacy laws restrict our processing of personal information provided to us by our customers as well as data we collect from our customers and employees. We strive to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, policies and legal obligations relating to privacy and data protection. However, if we fail to comply, we may be subject to fines, penalties and lawsuits, statutory damages at both the federal and state levels in the United States, substantial fines and penalties under the EU's GDPR and the UK's Data Protection Act 2018, and class action lawsuits, and our reputation may suffer. We may also be required to make modifications to our data practices that could have an adverse impact on our business, including increasing our operating costs, which may cause us to increase our prices, making our services less competitive.

We are also subject to the privacy and data protection-related obligations in our contracts with our customers and other third parties. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with federal, state, or international laws, including laws and regulations regulating privacy, data, or consumer protection, or to comply with our contractual obligations related to privacy, could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities, contractual parties, or others, which could result in significant liability to us, as well as harm our reputation. Additionally, third parties on which we rely enter into contracts to protect and safeguard our customers' data. Should such parties violate these agreements or suffer a breach, we could be subject to proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities, contractual parties, or others, which could result in significant liability to us as well as harm to our reputation.

Failure by us, our vendors, or our agents to comply with obligations and restrictions related to data privacy, data protection, and security in any jurisdiction in which we operate has in the past and may in the future subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits, and could subject us to regulatory investigations, substantial fines, sanctions, civil and criminal penalties, damages (including statutory damages), consent decrees, injunctions, adverse publicity, reputational damage, and other losses. For example, plaintiffs have become increasingly more active in bringing privacy-related and AI claims and class action suits against companies, including us. Some of these claims or actions allow for the recovery of statutory damages on a per violation basis, and, if viable, carry the potential for very large statutory damages, depending on the volume of data involved and the number of violations. Furthermore, our actual and perceived compliance, costs of compliance with such regulations, and customer concerns regarding their own compliance obligations (whether actual or perceived) may limit the use and adoption of our subscriptions and reduce overall demand. Even the perception of privacy-related concerns, whether or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our subscriptions in certain industries.

**Our products and services must comply with industry standards, FCC regulations, and state, local, country-specific, and international regulations, and changes may require us to modify existing services, increase our costs or prices we charge customers, and otherwise harm our business.**

As a provider of interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol services, we are subject to various international, federal, state, and local requirements applicable to our industry, including those that address, among other matters, acceptable marketing practices, the accessibility of 9-1-1 or other international emergency services, local number porting, robo-calling, caller ID spoofing, outage notifications, call traceback, and Know Your Customer requirements. We may also be subject to potential liability for the illegal or fraudulent activities of our customers and end users. The failure of our products and services to comply, or delays in compliance, with various existing and evolving standards could delay or interrupt our introduction of new products, subject us to fines or other imposed penalties, or harm our reputation, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

Regulations to which we may be subject address the following matters, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• license requirements that apply to providers of communications services in many jurisdictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our obligation to contribute to various Universal Service Fund programs, including at the state level;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• monitoring on rural call completion rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• safeguarding and use of customer proprietary network information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rules concerning access requirements for users with disabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our obligation to offer 7-1-1 abbreviated dialing for access to relay services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with the requirements of United States and foreign law enforcement agencies, including the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, and cooperation with local authorities in conducting wiretaps, pen traps and other surveillance activities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability to dial 9-1-1 (or corresponding numbers in regions outside the United States), auto-locate E-911 calls (or corresponding equivalents) when required, and access emergency services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the transmission of telephone numbers associated with calling parties between carriers and service providers like us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulations governing outbound dialing, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FCC and other regulatory efforts to combat robo-calling and caller ID spoofing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with data protection regulations such as the GDPR in Europe, which impose stringent requirements on data privacy and security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compliance with the Telecommunications (Security) Act 2021 in the UK, which imposes strict security requirements on telecom providers to protect the UK's telecoms network from cyber threats and vulnerabilities and non-compliance could result in significant penalties and affect our ability to operate in the UK;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adherence to environmental regulations, including those concerning the disposal and recycling of electronic products and batteries, which are becoming increasingly relevant as we expand our hardware offerings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reporting on climate-related financial risk (such as California SB 261).

Regulation of our services as telecommunications services may require us to obtain authorizations or licenses to operate in foreign jurisdictions and comply with legal requirements applicable to traditional telephony providers. This regulation may impact our ability to differentiate ourselves from incumbent service providers and imposes substantial compliance costs on us. In addition, the reform of federal and state Universal Service Fund programs and payment of regulatory and other fees in international markets could increase the cost of our service to our customers, diminishing or eliminating any pricing advantage we may have.

As we continue to expand internationally, we may be subject to telecommunications, consumer protection, privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, emergency call services, call authentication, and other laws and regulations in the foreign countries where we offer our services. Any foreign regulations could impose substantial compliance costs on us, restrict our ability to compete, and impact our ability to expand our service offerings in certain markets. Moreover, the regulatory environment is constantly evolving and changes to the applicable regulations could impose additional compliance costs and require modifications to our technology and operations and go to market practices. EU member states are implementing major modifications to their telecommunication laws and regulations. Updated regulations in Europe and in the United Kingdom require providers to perform security assessments and to improve the security and resilience of their networks as well as to verify the accuracy of their metering and billing systems. Regulators in many of our markets require providers to implement Know-Your-Customer vetting which may complicate and elongate the sales process. Local telecom regulatory restrictions in some European countries limit our ability to sell services in a wholesale motion to channel partners. The EU Digital Services Act requires cloud and digital providers to adopt measures to prevent disinformation, increase transparency and improve protection for users of digital services in the EU. Additionally, we expect an increase in the regulation of the use of AI and machine learning in products and services. For example, in Europe, the Artificial Intelligence Act became effective in August 2024 and is being implemented in stages, with full applicability expected by August 2026. This act imposes various obligations related to the development, placement on the market, and use of AI-related systems. We may have to change our business practices to comply with obligations under this or other new and evolving regimes.

We are subject to numerous domestic and foreign privacy, data protection and cybersecurity laws and regulations that restrict the collection, use, disclosure and processing of personal information, including financial and health data. These laws and regulations are expanding globally, evolving, and being tested in courts, and may result in increasing regulatory and public scrutiny of our practices relating to personal information and increased exposure to regulatory enforcement action, sanctions and litigation. For example, the GDPR in Europe and the CCPA in California (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act) impose significant

------

requirements regarding the processing of personal information. Similar laws have been enacted in numerous other states, with more becoming effective in the coming years. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in substantial fines, injunctions against processing personal information, and reputational harm.

Our actual or perceived failure to comply with laws, regulations, contractual commitments, or other actual or asserted obligations, including certain industry standards, regarding privacy, data protection and cybersecurity could lead to costly legal action, adverse publicity, significant liability, inability to process data, and decreased demand for our services, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. As a cumulative example, due to our primary data processing facilities being in the United States, we have experienced hesitancy, reluctance, or refusal by European customers to use our services. If we cannot maintain valid mechanisms for cross-border data transfers, we may face increased exposure to regulatory actions, fines, and injunctions against transferring personal information out of Europe.

Evolving laws, regulations, and other actual and asserted obligations relating to privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, and the use of AI and machine learning technologies could reduce demand for our platform, increase our costs, impair our ability to grow our business, restrict our ability to process data, or impact our ability to offer our service in some locations. We may find it necessary to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or expend significant resources to adapt to these changes. Our ability to develop new products and features could be limited.

**Risks Related to Intellectual Property**

**If we are found to be infringing on a third party's proprietary technology, our business could be disrupted.**

If we are found to be infringing the intellectual property rights of any third-party in lawsuits or proceedings that may be asserted against us, we could be subject to monetary liabilities for such infringement, which could be material. We could also be required to refrain from using, manufacturing, or selling certain products or using certain processes, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Our broad range of current and former technology, including IP telephony systems, digital and analog circuits, software, and semiconductors, increases the likelihood that third parties may claim infringement by us of their intellectual property rights. We have received and may continue to receive in the future, notices of claims of infringement, misappropriation, or misuse of other parties' proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that we will prevail in these discussions and actions or that other actions alleging infringement by us of third-party patents will not be asserted or prosecuted against us. Furthermore, lawsuits like these may require significant time and expense to defend, may divert management's attention away from other aspects of our operations and, upon resolution, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

**Inability to protect our proprietary technology would disrupt our business.**

We rely, in part, on patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret law to protect our intellectual property in the United States and abroad. We seek to protect our software, documentation, and other written materials under trade secret and copyright law, which afford only limited protection. We currently have several United States patent applications pending. We cannot predict whether such pending patent applications will result in issued patents, and if they do, whether such patents will effectively protect our intellectual property. The intellectual property rights we obtain may not be sufficient to provide us with a competitive advantage, and could be challenged, invalidated, infringed, or misappropriated. To address these risks, we also rely on confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, and contractors; however, these agreements may be breached, may not be enforceable in every instance, and may not provide an adequate remedy if unauthorized use or disclosure of our information occurs.

We may not be able to protect our proprietary rights in the United States or internationally (where effective intellectual property protection may be unavailable or limited), and competitors may independently develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology, duplicate our technology or design around any patent of ours.

Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, determine the validity and scope of our proprietary rights or the rights of others, or defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management time and resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Any settlement or adverse determination in such litigation would also subject us to significant liability. Further, in some jurisdictions we may not be able to pursue litigation effectively due to barriers inherent in foreign legal systems or customs.

------

**Our inability to use software licensed from third parties, or our use of open-source software under license terms that interfere with our proprietary rights, could disrupt our business.**

Our technology platform incorporates software licensed from third parties, including some software, known as open-source software, which we use without charge. Although we monitor our use of open source software, the terms of many open source licenses to which we are subject have not been interpreted by United States or foreign courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to provide our platform to our customers. In the future, we could be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our platform, which licenses may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Alternatively, we may need to re-engineer our platform or discontinue use of portions of the functionality provided by our platform. In addition, the terms of open-source software licenses may require us to provide software that we develop using such software to others on unfavorable license terms. This could potentially expose proprietary features of our platform to competitors, thereby eroding our competitive edge. Our inability to use third-party software could result in disruptions to our business, or delays in the development of future offerings or enhancements of existing offerings, which could impair our business.

**Risks Related to our Debt, our Stock, and our Charter**

**We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could have important consequences to our business.**

In August 2024, we entered into multiple debt arrangements. On August 5, 2024, we borrowed $200.0 million (of which $107.5 million remains outstanding following $92.5 million in debt pay-downs between October 2024 and April 2026) in a senior secured term loan facility (the "2024 Term Loan") under the Credit Agreement entered into on July 11, 2024 (the "2024 Credit Agreement"). The 2024 Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the Term SOFR, plus a margin of either 2.50%, 2.75% or 3.00% based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company anticipates principal repayments of $39.5 million in fiscal 2027 to the 2024 Term Loan, with the remaining $82.5 million principal due before or upon maturity in fiscal 2028. On August 11, 2022, we issued approximately $201.9 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% convertible senior notes due February 1, 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), which bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2023, and will mature on February 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased, pursuant to the indenture for the 2028 Notes.

Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• requiring us to comply with restrictive covenants in our senior secured debt facility, which limits the manner in which we conduct our business, and which obligations under the 2024 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiaries (for example, our Credit Agreement contains a minimum adjusted cash Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) financial covenant, a minimum liquidity covenant and a maximum secured leverage ratio financial covenant and contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for transactions of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, dividends, disposition of assets, change in business, and transactions with affiliates);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to debt service payments on our debt, which reduces the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the industry in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to any of our less-leveraged competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing our vulnerability to both general and industry-specific adverse economic conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potentially complicating our ability to refinance our debt under favorable conditions, or at all, which could further restrict our operational flexibility and increase our financing costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing our vulnerability to fluctuations in interest rates, particularly for any variable-rate debt; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limiting our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements and increasing our cost of borrowing.

------

**Servicing our debt, including the paying down of principal, requires the use of cash and liquidity of our clearing, cash management and custodial financial institutions, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay down our debt.**

As of May 8, 2026, we currently have approximately $201.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes and $107.5 million of the 2024 Term Loan outstanding.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, pay interest on, or refinance our indebtedness, including the amounts payable under the 2028 Notes and the 2024 Term Loan, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control, such as past and potential future disruptions in access to bank deposits or lending commitments due to bank failure, as well as in the event of sustained deterioration in the liquidity, or failure, of our clearing, cash management and custodial financial institutions. The volatility of the global economy, changes in the credit market conditions, and fluctuations in interest rates could further complicate our ability to refinance our debt. Our business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt, including paying off the principal when due, and make necessary capital expenditures. Our 2028 Notes are currently significantly out of the money, and our stock price would have to increase significantly for our notes to convert prior to maturity. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may also face heightened regulatory scrutiny or changes in financial regulation which could impact our refinancing options. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.

**We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the new notes in cash or repurchase the new notes upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the new notes.**

Holders of the 2028 Notes have the right to require us to repurchase the 2028 Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, upon conversion of the 2028 Notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the 2028 Notes being converted. However, due to potential adverse market conditions or changes in the credit markets, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of the new Notes surrendered therefor or the new Notes being converted. In addition, our ability to repurchase the 2028 Notes or to pay cash upon conversions of the 2028 Notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. If one or more holders elect to convert their notes, we may face increased financial pressure, especially if this occurs during a period of liquidity constraints within the broader financial system. The potential impact of a banking system failure could exacerbate our liquidity risks, as we rely on these institutions not only for operating cash but also for the facilitation of our debt service payments. Our failure to repurchase any of our Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the applicable indenture or to pay any cash payable on future conversions of our Notes as required by the applicable indenture would constitute a default under such indenture. A default under an applicable indenture or the occurrence of a fundamental change may also lead to a default under agreements governing our future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase our 2028 Notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof.

**The conditional conversion feature of our Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.**

In the event the conditional conversion feature of our Notes is triggered, holders of our Notes will be entitled to convert such notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligations through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. This could also place significant pressure on our cash reserves, particularly if market conditions or our operating results are not favorable at the time of conversion. In addition, even if holders of our Notes do not elect to convert their Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of such Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital. This reclassification could severely impact our financial ratios and may affect our ability to meet financial obligations or secure new financing under favorable terms.

------

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

U.S. GAAP is subject to interpretation by the FASB, the SEC and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in accounting standards or practices can have a significant effect on our reported results. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and will occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may lead to increased compliance costs and necessitate the engagement of additional financial and legal advisors or harm our reported financial results or the way we account for or conduct our business. Furthermore, such changes could affect our compliance with loan covenants or other financial obligations, potentially affecting our borrowing capacity or the perceptions of our financial stability by investors and creditors. Moreover, these changes could complicate our efforts to comply with covenants in our debt agreements or affect our compliance with regulatory requirements, further influencing our financial stability.

**Future sales of our common stock or equity-linked securities in the public market could lower the market price of our common stock, and a sustained decrease in our stock price could jeopardize our Nasdaq listing.**

In the future, we may sell additional shares of our common stock or equity-linked securities to raise capital. In addition, a substantial number of shares of our common stock is reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options, upon the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units and performance units, stock purchases in connection with our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and upon conversion of our Notes. We cannot predict the size of future issuances or the effect, if any, that they may have on the market price for our common stock. This uncertainty may lead to increased volatility in our share price as investors speculate on the timing and impact of these issuances. The issuance and sale of substantial amounts of common stock or equity-linked securities, or the perception that such issuances and sales may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our Notes and the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities. Additionally, any dilutive effect of such issuances might decrease the earnings per share and ownership interests of existing stockholders, potentially leading to further downward pressure on our stock price.

Furthermore, if our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intent to sell, significant amounts of our common stock in the public market, the trading price of our shares could decline. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock.

Although our common stock is currently trading above Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share, future developments—including market conditions, operational performance, or other factors outside our control—could cause our stock price to decline. If our stock price were to fall below $1.00 per share for an extended period, we could become non-compliant with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements. To maintain compliance, we may need to take steps such as effecting a reverse stock split; however, there can be no assurance that any such measures would successfully maintain our listing or that we would otherwise regain compliance if we became non-compliant. If our common stock were delisted, we may seek to list our common stock on a regional stock exchange, or if one or more broker-dealer market makers comply with applicable requirements, the over-the-counter (OTC) market. Listing on such other market or exchange could reduce the liquidity of our common stock and may result in investors finding it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations for the price of, our common stock. A delisting from Nasdaq could also subject our common stock to so-called penny stock rules that impose additional sales practice and market-making requirements on broker-dealers who sell or make a market in such securities. Consequently, removal from Nasdaq and failure to obtain listing on another market or exchange could affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell or make a market in our common stock and the ability of purchasers of our common stock to sell their securities in the secondary market. A delisting from Nasdaq would also result in a fundamental change under the 2028 Notes Indenture and give holders of the 2028 Notes the right to require us to repurchase such notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the 2028 Notes upon a fundamental change, and we may need to unwind any related bond hedge transactions in connection therewith, which could require us to spend additional amounts to do so, depending on the value of our common stock at that time.

**Certain provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage takeover attempts.**

Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors, including, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of our board of directors or by stockholders holding shares of our common stock representing in the aggregate a majority of votes then outstanding, which could delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our board of directors, by majority vote, to amend our by-laws, which may allow our board of directors to take additional actions to prevent a hostile acquisition and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend our by-laws to facilitate a hostile acquisition; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders' meeting, which may 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 us.

These provisions might result in our common stock trading at a lower price due to perceptions of decreased acquisition potential.

We are also subject to certain anti-takeover provisions under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"). Under Section 203 of the DGCL, a corporation may not, in general, engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or (a) our board of directors approves the transaction prior to the stockholder acquiring the 15% ownership position, (b) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder acquiring the 15% ownership position, the stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock (excluding shares owned by directors or officers and shares owned by certain employee stock plans) or (c) the transaction is approved by the board of directors and by the stockholders at an annual or special meeting by a vote of 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock (excluding shares held or controlled by the interested stockholder). These provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts, potentially reducing liquidity for our stockholders.

**General Risk Factors**

**Macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.**

Macroeconomic and geopolitical factors—including inflation, rising interest rates, supply chain constraints, recessionary concerns, international conflicts, trade tensions, and tariffs—have created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption in recent years, particularly affecting the small- and mid-sized businesses that comprise many of our existing and prospective customers. These conditions can reduce overall demand for our services in various ways. For example, during periods of economic stress, businesses may view our cloud services as discretionary and choose to reduce spending or delay purchasing decisions. In severe cases, customers may go out of business. This could delay and lengthen sales cycles, increase customer churn, pressure us to lower prices or provide service credits, and result in slower growth or declines in our revenue, operating results, and cash flows.

The ongoing impact of these macroeconomic conditions depends on numerous evolving factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the duration and severity of inflationary pressures and rising interest rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• supply chain disruptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential recessions in the U.S. and globally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• international conflicts (such as the Russia-Ukraine war, tensions in the Middle East, U.S.-China trade relations);

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the financial health of our small- and mid-sized business customers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of tariffs, trade policies and export control restrictions on our operations and costs.

Additionally, changes in remote versus in-person work models could alter demand patterns for our offerings. Macroeconomic disruptions have also at times affected the functioning of financial and capital markets. We may experience lingering adverse effects from recent and future crises, including potential recessions, foreign exchange volatility, and reduced access to capital markets on attractive terms. Heightened volatility and uncertainty in capital markets could limit our ability to raise funds when needed, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

**We may not be able to secure financing on favorable terms, or at all, to meet our future capital needs**.

We may need to pursue financing in the future to make expenditures or investments to support the growth of our business (whether through acquisitions or otherwise) and may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives, respond to new competitive pressures, service our debt, and pay extraordinary expenses such as litigation settlements or judgments or fund growth, including through acquisitions, among other potential uses. Additional funds, however, may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. We also face certain risks in the event of a sustained deterioration of financial market liquidity, as well as in the event of sustained deterioration in the liquidity, or failure, of our clearing, cash management and custodial financial institutions. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to grow and support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

**Natural disasters, war, terrorist attacks, global pandemics, or malicious conduct, among other unforeseen events, could disrupt our operations and negatively impact our services and financial results.**

Our cloud communications services depend on uninterrupted connections to the Internet through data centers and networks. Any interruption or disruption to our network, or the third parties on which we rely, could adversely impact our ability to provide service. Our network could be disrupted by circumstances outside of our control, including natural disasters, acts of war, terrorist attacks, malicious acts (including cyberattacks), or other unforeseen events. For example, our headquarters, global network operations center, and one of our third-party data center facilities are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, a region known for seismic activity.

These events could cause physical damage to critical infrastructure, impede access to key facilities, or disrupt our service providers, which may result in outages or degradation of service. Even when disruptions originate outside our own network—such as failures in the public Internet or with customer-side connections—customers may perceive them as service interruptions. Global pandemics or a potential future virus may also impede access to critical infrastructure by limiting personnel availability, restricting travel, or causing data center and network operators to curtail operations. Prolonged or widespread disruptions could strain our operational resilience, affect employee productivity in impacted regions, and highlight gaps in our disaster recovery and business continuity planning. In addition to reputational harm, such events could materially affect our financial condition through increased operational costs, lost revenue, and customer attrition.

**ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments**

None.

**ITEM 1C. Cybersecurity**

8x8 recognizes that cybersecurity is critical to the trust placed in our platform by customers, partners, and other stakeholders. The Company is committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its systems and data through a comprehensive cybersecurity risk management and governance framework.

**Risk Management and Strategy**

8x8 maintains a global cybersecurity risk management program aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") Cybersecurity Framework. This program is integrated and embedded within the Company's overall enterprise risk management, or ERM, process and designed to proactively identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity threats that could materially affect our business operations, financial condition, or reputation.

Key components of the program include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Continuous threat monitoring and intelligence**, with real-time detection capabilities across cloud and on-premise environments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Periodic risk assessments and threat modeling**, covering internal assets and supply chain exposure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Third-Party Risk Management ("TPRM") solution** for assessment and continuous monitoring, which includes security audits, and independent assessments conducted at least annually.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A **vulnerability management lifecycle,** which includes penetration testing, to identify, prioritize, and remediate security flaws in infrastructure and applications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Employee cybersecurity training and phishing simulations**, tailored by role and location.

8x8 engages reputable external security firms and consultants to support ongoing evaluations, and has obtained certifications and attestations across various jurisdictions and industries (including ISO/IEC 27001, CyberEssentials Plus et al, and compliance with frameworks applicable to communications and cloud service providers).

To date, no cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected the Company, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. Nevertheless, cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, and the Company has developed and implemented a comprehensive Incident Response Plan to effectively manage cybersecurity incidents. The plan is regularly reviewed, tested, and updated to facilitate its effectiveness in mitigating and responding to cybersecurity threats promptly. For additional information regarding whether any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company in the future, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in this Annual Report.

**Governance**

The Company's board of directors, through its Technology & Cybersecurity Committee, oversees 8x8's cybersecurity risk management strategy. This committee meets quarterly and receives briefings from senior leadership on cybersecurity risk trends, controls testing and efficacy, compliance posture, and incident management preparedness. The full board of directors is informed at least annually on cybersecurity matters, with additional updates as needed.

The Company's Chief Information Security Officer, or CISO, leads the cybersecurity program and reports functionally to the Chief Legal Officer, and periodically to the CEO, the Executive Risk Management Committee, and the board of directors. The CISO has over 25 years of global cybersecurity, information security, disaster recovery, and business continuity experience, including leadership roles across UK national infrastructure and global Fortune 100 and 500 companies. The CISO holds an M.S. in Information Technology Security (with distinction), and is a Certified Information Security Manager, or CISM, and Certified Information Systems Security Professional, or CISSP.

The Technology & Cybersecurity Committee includes directors with backgrounds in technology, data governance, and risk oversight, and all directors participate in training sessions to continue to enhance their understanding of cybersecurity issues and their implications for the Company.

***Overview***

We serve a broad customer base, from small businesses to large global enterprises across every major industry. We reach customers through a combination of direct sales and an expanding global network of channel partners. To serve a diverse organizations of all sizes, we invest in retaining and growing customers across segments through a service model that scales from AI-powered support for smaller accounts to dedicated customer success resources for our most complex enterprise relationships.

We generate Service Revenue from subscriptions to our UCaaS and CCaaS offerings, as well as usage of our platform. Our service subscription plans are sold on a per-user basis and are structured with increasing levels of functionality, based on the specific communication needs and customer engagement profile of each user. Platform usage revenue is revenue recognized from sales of products on an as-used basis and includes the use of our communications APIs, digital and voice AI interactions and telephony minutes. Usage revenue increased by 56% in fiscal 2026 as customers increased inbound and outbound engagement strategies using our communication APIs and AI-based interactions.

We generate Other Revenue from professional services and the sale of office phones and other hardware equipment. We define a "customer" as one or more legal entities to which we provide services pursuant to a single contractual arrangement. In some cases, we may have multiple billing relationships with a single customer (for example, where we establish separate billing accounts for a parent company and each of its subsidiaries).

***Macroeconomic and Other Factors***

We are subject to risks and exposures, including those caused by adverse economic conditions. Macroeconomic conditions that could adversely affect our business include geopolitical instability, tariffs, continued inflation, increased interest rates, supply chain disruptions, decreased economic output and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We continuously monitor the impacts of these factors, as well as the overall global economy and geopolitical landscape, on our business and financial results.

While the implications of macroeconomic events on our business, results of operations, and overall financial position remain uncertain, we expect that difficult economic conditions could negatively impact our business in future periods. For example, our installed base includes small businesses, which tend to be disproportionately affected by macroeconomic headwinds. International revenue grew from approximately 33% of total revenue in fiscal 2025 to approximately 39% in fiscal 2026, increasing our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. However, a significant portion of our international operating expenses are denominated in the same currencies as our international revenue, which partially mitigates the impact of currency movements on profitability. We also continue to monitor the pace of AI adoption across our customer base, which represents both an evolving competitive dynamic and a direct driver of demand for our platform capabilities and usage-based revenue.

***Summary and Outlook***

In fiscal 2026, we delivered service revenue of $715.3 million, compared to $692.9 million in fiscal 2025, with year-over-year service revenue growth in each quarter of the fiscal year. We generated income from operations in all four quarters of fiscal 2026, with full-year income from operations of $18.9 million, compared to income from operations of $15.2 million in fiscal 2025. Net income attributable to 8x8 was $1.6 million for fiscal 2026, compared to a net loss of $27.2 million in fiscal 2025. Net cash provided by operating activities was $55.8 million for fiscal 2026. During fiscal 2026, we completed the upgrade of all former Fuze customers remaining on the legacy Fuze platform to the 8x8 Platform for CX, enabling us to operate on a single, unified platform.

------

As part of our objectives to grow our revenue and increase profitability and cash flow, we are focused on retaining our existing customers and driving multi-product adoption within our installed base, as well as expanding our base with new customers. We believe that continued innovation is a critical factor in attracting and retaining our customers and is an important variable in achieving sustainable growth. We are committed to continuing our investment in research and development to deliver innovation across our Platform for CX, expand our ecosystem of integrated third-party applications, and maintain the high platform availability that our customers require.

Our primary focus involves the following: (i) expanding the features and functionality of our Platform for CX, (ii) increasing the use of our agentic AI solutions and communication APIs, (iii) growing our community of value-added resellers and technology partners as a means to expand distribution, especially in international regions, and (iv) increasing the efficiency of our operations through process improvements, automation, and self-service. We are embracing the use of AI internally to accelerate innovation and the introduction of new products, improve our sales productivity and conversion rates, increase the efficiency and security of our global network infrastructure, and simplify our back-office operations.

Our investment in research and development enabled us to introduce new products like 8x8 Engage and 8x8 AI Studio, add capabilities that allow our customers to enhance their employee and customer experiences, and expand integrations with our Technology Partner Ecosystem partners. We also invested in our global network infrastructure to ensure continued high availability, enhance security, and lower the cost to deliver our services. Our combined investments in our platform and process improvements allow us to deliver tightly integrated solutions around the world that prioritize ease-of-use, out-of-the-box functionality, and rapid deployment. We expect the costs of delivering our communication services and communication APIs, both in total dollars and as a percentage of service revenue, to vary with the amount of service revenue and the mix of subscription and usage revenue within service revenue.

To improve our sales efficiency over time, we are investing in marketing programs to drive awareness for our solutions, training programs and tools to increase productivity in our direct sales, and partner enablement solutions that drive increased cross-sell and new business. We are also devoting resources to expanding our community of value-added resellers, who provide implementation services and Tier 1 customer support in addition to sales capacity.

We continue to monitor factors that could have an impact on customer buying behavior and demand, including technological changes in AI-related developments, macroeconomic conditions, the competitive environment, contract duration, churn, upsell and down-sell, renewals, and payment terms, all of which have caused variability in our results and may continue to do in the future.

***Key GAAP Operating Results***

To assess the success of our strategies to achieve growth and increase our cash flow, management reviews our financial performance as presented in our consolidated financial statements, including trends in revenue, gross profit margin, income (loss) from operations, and cash flow generated by operations in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue as presented in the following table:

***Components of Results of Operations***

***Service Revenue***

Service revenue consists of communication services subscriptions, platform usage revenue, and related fees from our UCaaS, CCaaS and CPaaS offerings. We plan to increase service revenue through a combination of new customer acquisition, cross-selling of additional products to existing customers, including new products resulting from our increased investment in innovation, artificial intelligence, geographic expansion of our customer base outside the United States, innovation in our products and technologies, and strategic acquisitions of technologies and businesses.

***Other Revenue***

Other revenue consists of revenue from professional services, primarily in support of deployment of our solutions and platform, and revenue from sales and rentals of IP telephones in conjunction with our cloud telephony service. Other revenue is dependent on the number of customers who choose to purchase or rent IP telephone hardware in conjunction with our service instead of using the solution on their cell phone, computer, or other compatible device, and/or choose to engage our professional services organization for implementation and deployment of our cloud services.

***Cost of Service Revenue***

Cost of service revenue consists primarily of costs associated with network operations and related personnel, technology licenses, amortization of intangible assets and capitalized internal use software, other communication origination and termination services provided by third-party carriers, outsourced customer service call center operations, and other costs such as customer service, and technical support costs. We allocate overhead costs, such as information technology and facilities, to cost of service revenue, as well as to each of the operating expense categories, generally based on relative headcount. Our information technology costs include costs for information technology infrastructure and personnel. Facilities costs primarily consist of office leases and related expenses.

***Cost of Other Revenue***

Cost of other revenue consists primarily of costs associated with the purchase and shipping and handling of IP telephone hardware as well as scheduling, personnel costs, and other expenditures incurred in connection with the professional services associated with the deployment and implementation of our products, and allocated information technology and facilities costs.

***Research and Development***

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, stock-based compensation, third-party development, software and equipment costs necessary for us to conduct our product, platform development and engineering efforts, as well as allocated information technology and facilities costs.

***Sales and Marketing***

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, stock-based compensation, sales commissions, including those to the channel, trade shows, advertising and other marketing, demand generation, and promotional expenses, as well as allocated information technology and facilities costs.

***General and Administrative***

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, professional services fees, corporate administrative costs, tax and regulatory fees, stock-based compensation and allocated information technology and facilities costs.

***Interest Expense***

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to our term loan and convertible notes, and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs.

***Other Income (Expense), Net***

Other income (expense), net, consists primarily of losses on debt extinguishment, gain or loss on warrant remeasurement, interest income, gains or losses on foreign exchange transactions, as well as other income.

***Provision for Income Taxes***

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of foreign income taxes and state taxes in the United States. As we expand the scale of our international business activities, any changes in the United States and foreign taxation of such activities may increase our overall provision for income taxes in the future. We have a valuation allowance for our U.S. deferred tax assets, including federal and state net operating loss carryforwards. We expect to maintain this valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized by way of expected future taxable income in the United States.

---

Service revenue increased by $22.3 million, or 3.2%, for fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025. This change was driven by an increase of $51.4 million in platform usage revenue due to higher customer consumption volumes of our usage-based offerings, reflecting expanded customer adoption and usage of messaging, minutes and AI-based solutions during the period. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in subscription revenue of $29.1 million related to customer churn and down-sell.

Our business is diversified by vertical market and geography, and no single customer represented more than 10% of our total revenue during fiscal 2026 and 2025. We continue to monitor factors that could have an impact on customer buying behavior and demand, including macroeconomic conditions, contract duration, churn, upsell and down-sell, renewals, and payment terms, all of which could cause variability in our revenue.

| Percentage of total revenue | 2.8% | 3.1% |  |  |

---

Other revenue decreased by $1.7 million, or 7.5%, in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, due to lower product revenue and professional service revenue of $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

***Cost of Revenue***

*Cost of service revenue*

| Percentage of service revenue | 32.5% | 28.9% |  |  |

---

Cost of service revenue increased by $32.5 million, or 16.2%, in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, primarily due to increases of $39.8 million in network and carrier service provider costs to deliver our subscription and platform usage services to support our capacity needs and $3.2 million in salaries, benefits, and consulting costs. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $5.2 million in amortization of intangible assets, $3.1 million in stock-based compensation and $2.2 million in amortization of capitalized software.

*Cost of other revenue*

| Percentage of other revenue | 137.1% | 134.1% |  |  |

---

Cost of other revenue decreased by $1.6 million, or 5.4%, in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, primarily due to decreases of $1.0 million in lower product costs associated with IP telephone hardware and $0.8 million of stock-based compensation. These decreases were offset by an increase of $0.2 million in salaries, benefits, and consulting costs to deliver our professional services.

| Gross profit | $475049 | $485272 | $(10223) | (2.1)% |
| Percentage of total revenue | 64.6% | 67.9% |  |  |

---

Gross profit decreased by $10.2 million, or 2.1%, in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, driven by the shift in revenue mix toward usage-based offerings as growth in cost of service revenue outpaced service revenue growth. Generally, usage-based offerings generate higher network and carrier service provider costs per dollar of revenue relative to our subscription-based offerings, resulting in lower gross margin.

***Operating Expenses***

*Research and development*

| Percentage of total revenue | 15.4% | 17.2% |  |  |

---

Research and development expenses decreased by $10.2 million, or 8.3%, in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, primarily due to decreases of $8.9 million in stock-based compensation driven by a reduction in amortization of unvested equity awards, reflecting lower grant volumes in recent periods, $2.0 million in costs to operate data centers and facilities, $1.1 million in combined salaries, benefits, and consulting costs necessary for us to conduct our product, platform development and engineering efforts, and $1.0 million in internally-developed software and other costs. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $1.8 million in software licenses and $1.0 million in amortization of capitalized software.

*Sales and marketing*

| Percentage of total revenue | 34.3% | 37.0% |  |  |

---

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $12.1 million, or 4.6%, in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025 primarily due to decreases of $12.0 million in channel commissions and amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs, $3.8 million in stock-based compensation expense driven by a reduction in amortization of unvested equity awards, reflecting lower grant volumes in recent periods, and $0.3 million in paid media and other marketing services costs. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $4.0 million in salaries, benefits, and consulting costs.

*General and administrative*

| Percentage of total revenue | 12.3% | 11.5% |  |  |

---

General and administrative expenses increased by $8.3 million, or 10.1%, in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025 primarily due to an increase of $10.9 million related to regulatory and state and local tax matters. During fiscal 2025, we recognized a $9.9 million benefit due to adjusted accruals related to USF and other legal, regulatory and state and local tax matters. We also recognized an increase in transaction-related expenses of $2.4 million, offset by a decrease in audit fees of $1.4 million. The increase was also due to increases of $1.4 million in salaries, benefits, and consulting costs and $0.4 million in facilities costs. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $3.6 million in stock-based compensation driven by a reduction in amortization of unvested equity awards, reflecting lower grant volumes in recent periods, and $0.8 million in other general corporate costs.

| Percentage of total revenue | (2.4)% | (4.0)% |  |  |

---

Interest expense decreased by $11.1 million, or 38.4%, in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, primarily due to a lower interest rate and principal balance on the 2024 Term Loan compared to the 2022 Term Loan and capitalized interest related to property, plant and equipment from general borrowing costs. See Note [8](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_136), Convertible Senior Notes and Term Loan, for further details.

| Other income (expense), net | $2353 | $(10400) | $12753 | NM |
| Percentage of total revenue | 0.3% | (1.5)% |  |  |

---

We recognized $2.4 million of other income, net during fiscal 2026 compared to $10.4 million of other expense, net during fiscal 2025, primarily due to a decrease in the loss on debt extinguishment of $12.2 million due to the payoff of the 2022 Term Loan, a $2.7 million decrease due to reduced foreign exchange losses, and an increase of $0.7 million in other income. These decreases were offset by a $1.4 million decrease in interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents and a reduced gain of $1.4 million on the remeasurement of Warrants issued in connection with the 2022 Term Loan.

*Provision for income taxes*

---

For the year ended March 31, 2026, we recorded an income tax provision of $1.9 million compared to $3.1 million in fiscal 2025, primarily driven by the effect of the OBBBA's federal and state tax provisions.

***Liquidity and Capital Resources***

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, expenditure, and contractual obligation requirements for a minimum of the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future, the success of our operations, the global economic outlook, and the pace of growth in our markets could impact our business and liquidity.

*Cash and Cash Equivalents*

The following is a summary of our cash and cash equivalents (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **March 31, 2025** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $93260 | $88050 |

<sup>1</sup> *Restricted cash is related to accrued holdbacks for business combinations (see Note [1](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_109), The Company and Significant Accounting Policies).*

<sup>2</sup> *For the year ended March 31, 2025, restricted cash supports letters of credit securing leases for office facilities.*

------

Our primary requirements for liquidity and working capital include delivery of our various products to customers, research and development, sales and marketing activities, principal and interest payments on our outstanding debt and other general corporate needs. Historically, these cash requirements have been met from cash provided by operating activities and our cash and cash equivalents balances. Our current capital deployment strategy for fiscal 2026 is to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and growth initiatives, including planned software development activities, and to pay down our debt. As of March 31, 2026, we are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. Significant cash requirements for the fiscal year include our operating lease obligations, principal and interest payments related to our debt obligations, and operating and capital purchase commitments. For information regarding our expected cash requirements and timing of payments related to leases and noncancellable purchase commitments, see Note [6](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_130), Leases, and Note [7](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_133), Commitments and Contingencies, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, refer to Note [8](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_136), Convertible Senior Notes and Term Loan, to the consolidated financial statements for more information related to our debt obligations.

Our outstanding 2024 Term Loan allows for voluntary prepayments. In order to reduce future cash interest payments, as well as future amounts due at maturity or upon redemption, we may, from time to time, make prepayments. The Company evaluates opportunities for stock repurchases, and may utilize cash and cash equivalents to repurchase shares under the 2017 Plan. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 1.0 million shares of common stock in the open market for approximately $1.8 million at an average price of $1.83 per share. The remaining amount of shares of common stock available for repurchase under the 2017 Plan as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $5.2 million. For more information, see Note [9](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_142), Stock-Based Compensation and Stockholders' Equity.

As of March 31, 2026, our 2028 Notes were trading at a discount to their respective principal amount. We may seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise which may have an impact on our liquidity requirements. Any such transactions will be dependent upon several factors, including our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, prevailing market conditions, and other factors. Whether or not we engage in any such transactions will be determined at our discretion. For historical debt payments, see Note [8](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_136), Convertible Senior Notes and Term Loan.

*Cash Flows*

The following is a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended March 31,** | **Year Ended March 31,** | **Year Ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $55786 | $63554 | $78985 |
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | (20734) | (16424) | 8546 |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (30440) | (75106) | (83411) |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | 1026 | 577 | (126) |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $5638 | $(27399) | $3994 |

---

Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $7.8 million to $55.8 million for fiscal 2026, primarily due to a decrease in cash collected from customers and an increase in cash paid to vendors, partially offset by a decrease in cash paid to employees and interest on outstanding debt. Cash used in investing activities increased by $4.3 million to $20.7 million for fiscal 2026, mainly due to increases in the purchases of property, plant and equipment, capitalized internal-use software costs and cash paid for business combinations. Cash used in financing activities decreased by $44.7 million to $30.4 million for fiscal 2026, mainly due to lower principal repayments for the 2024 Term Loan (as described below), partially offset by the repurchase of common stock.

*Debt Obligations*

See Note [8](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_136), Convertible Senior Notes and Term Loan in the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for information regarding our debt obligations.

*2024 Delayed Draw Term Loan*

On July 11, 2024, we entered into a new term loan credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders thereto (the "2024 Credit Agreement"). The 2024 Credit Agreement establishes a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million maturing on August 15, 2027.

On August 5, 2024, we drew upon the entire facility of $200.0 million under the delayed draw term loan facility (the "2024 Term Loan") and used the proceeds of the 2024 Term Loan and cash on hand of approximately $29.0 million to repay in full the $225.0 million of outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of the 2022 Term Loan and the fees incurred in connection with the Repayment.

------

The 2024 Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the Term SOFR, plus a margin of either 2.50%, 2.75% or 3.00% based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries. The initial margin was 3.00% for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024 and remained 3.00% as of March 31, 2026. We have the option to pay interest monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we elected monthly interest payment terms which resulted in cash payments of $2.0 million. For the three months ending June 30, 2026, we have elected monthly interest payment terms, which will result in cash payments of approximately $1.8 million. As of March 31, 2026, the debt issuance costs were amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2024 Term Loan at an effective interest rate of 8.64%.

The 2024 Credit Agreement contains a consolidated interest coverage ratio financial covenant, a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio financial covenant and a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio financial covenant. It contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for transactions of this type, including limitations with respect to share repurchases, indebtedness, liens, investments, dividends, disposition of assets, change in business, and transactions with affiliates. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants set forth in the 2024 Credit Agreement.

Under the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement, we have the right to prepay the 2024 Term Loan at any time without any premium or penalty. We completed the following principal payments during the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively (in thousands):

---

| | | | | | |

| Total | $30000 |  | Total | $48000 |  |

---

As of March 31, 2026, the scheduled remaining principal repayments are $39.5 million in fiscal 2027 (comprised of $2.0 million on June 30, 2026 and $12.5 million on September 30, 2026 and each quarter thereafter through maturity) and $82.5 million principal is due before or upon maturity in fiscal 2028. These annualized repayments will be made in quarterly installments. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has paid $37.5 million, $8.0 million, and $10.0 million of the originally scheduled principal repayments due fiscal 2026, 2027, and 2028 respectively, and the remaining principal amount of the 2024 Term Loan after the payments is $122.0 million.

On April 10, 2026, we paid $14.5 million of short-term principal payment due in June 2026 and September 2026 under the 2024 Term Loan, reducing the remaining principal balance to $107.5 million. The Company has $25.0 million of mandatory principal payments remaining due for fiscal 2027, and the next quarterly payment is due on December 31, 2026. See Note [13](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_154), Subsequent Events, for more information regarding this payment.

These short-term principal debt repayments are accounted for as partial debt extinguishment transactions. The carrying value of the 2024 Term Loan, including the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was derecognized. The difference of $0.5 million between the cash consideration paid to partially extinguish the 2024 Term Loan and the carrying value of the 2024 Term Loan was recognized as a loss on debt extinguishment included in the loss on debt extinguishment line item recorded in other expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

*2022 Term Loan Extinguishment*

On August 5, 2024, we repaid in full the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of the 2022 Term Loan using the proceeds of the 2024 Term Loan and cash on hand. The Repayment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The carrying value of the 2022 Term Loan, including the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was derecognized. The difference of $12.0 million between the cash consideration paid to extinguish the 2022 Term Loan and the carrying value of the 2022 Term Loan was recognized as a loss on debt extinguishment included in the loss on debt extinguishment line item recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Warrants continue to be outstanding with no change in terms in connection with the Repayment or issuance of the 2024 Term Loan.

Loans made under the 2022 Credit Agreement bore interest at an annual rate equal to the Term SOFR, subject to a floor of 1.00% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, plus a margin of 6.50%. During the year ended March 31, 2025, we paid $9.4 million of interest under the 2022 Term Loan. See Note [8](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_136), Convertible Senior Notes and Term Loan, to our consolidated financial statements for details.

***Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates***

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Refer to Note 1, The Company and Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report, which describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business and the understanding of our results of operations. These policies may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application and represent the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Although we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual future results may differ from our estimates. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

***Revenue Recognition***

Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. The Company monitors actual results against estimates on an ongoing basis and updates assumptions as necessary. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.

Revenue is recognized on a gross basis when the Company determines it is the principal in the transaction with discretion on pricing and control, as performance obligations are satisfied, based on the transaction price. The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis when the Company is considered the agent in third party license sales, if material.

The Company makes estimates related to variable consideration, including service-level credits, refunds, and minimum revenue commitments. Such estimates require judgment in assessing the likelihood of service disruptions, the probability that minimum revenue commitments will be achieved, and the collectability of such amounts. Sales returns and customer credits are estimated based on historical experience, current trends, and our expectations regarding future service delivery and platform performance. If actual future returns and credits differ from past experience, additional reserves may be required.

<sup>1</sup> *See Note [8](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_136), Convertible Senior Notes and Term Loan, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for further information.*

<sup>2</sup> *Total interest payments of $8.9 million were determined using the year-end rate of 6.67% (Term SOFR plus 3.00%) as of March 31, 2026. See Note [8](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_136), Convertible Senior Notes and Term Loan, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report regarding the interest rate terms.*

------

***Allowance for Credit Losses***

We account for allowances for credit losses under the current expected credit loss, or CECL, impairment model for our financial assets, including accounts receivable, and present the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. Using this model, we estimate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses at the end of each reporting period based on the aging of the receivable balance, current and historical customer trends, communications with customers, and macro-economic conditions. This process requires significant judgment as we estimate expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of the receivables, considering forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to customer-specific information about past events and current conditions. Amounts are written off after considerable collection efforts have been made and the amounts are determined to be uncollectible.

***Acquisitions***

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

The determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires significant judgment, particularly with respect to identifiable intangible assets such as developed technology and customer relationships, as well as contingent consideration and holdbacks. These estimates are based on assumptions regarding forecasted revenue growth, customer attrition, discount rates, and other market participant assumptions. The Company also estimates the useful lives of acquired intangible assets, which affects the amount and timing of future amortization expense. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially established in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date.

These assumptions are inherently uncertain and may be affected by changes in market conditions, integration outcomes, and the Company's strategic execution. During the measurement period, which may extend up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill, as new information becomes available regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Changes in the underlying assumptions used to determine fair value could materially affect the amount of goodwill recognized, future amortization expense, and the timing or magnitude of potential impairment charges.

***Capitalized Internal-Use Software Costs***

Certain costs of software are capitalized during the application development phase. We begin to capitalize costs to develop software when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are included in property and equipment. Once the project has been completed, these costs are amortized to cost of service revenue on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset as noted in Property and Equipment. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred and recorded in research and development expense. We test capitalized internal-use software development costs for impairment on an annual basis, or as events occur or circumstances change that could impact the recoverability of the capitalized costs.

***Accounting for Long-Lived Assets***

We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. This assessment requires significant judgment, including the identification of triggering events, the determination of appropriate asset groupings, and the estimation of undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. These estimates are inherently uncertain and are sensitive to changes in business strategy, market conditions, forecasted revenue and cost structures, and technological developments that may impact asset utilization. If estimated future cash flows decline, we may be required to recognize impairment charges that could materially affect operating results.

------

***Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets***

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the Company's single reporting unit may exceed its fair value.

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and has determined that it operates as a single reporting unit. The Company may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In performing this assessment, the Company considers various factors, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, changes in business strategy, and market-based indicators such as the Company's stock price.

If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that impairment exists, or if the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment test is performed. The determination of fair value requires significant judgment and is estimated using a combination of valuation approaches, including consideration of the Company's market capitalization and, when appropriate, an income approach based on discounted cash flows. Market capitalization is a key input given the Company's publicly traded equity and is evaluated relative to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including consideration of an appropriate control premium. Key assumptions used in estimating fair value include projected revenue growth, customer demand, cost structure, profitability, long-term growth rates, and discount rates that reflect the risk profile of the reporting unit. These assumptions are based on internal forecasts and external market data and are inherently uncertain.

As of the Company's most recent annual impairment test, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and the Company concluded that its reporting unit was not at risk of failing the goodwill impairment test. However, changes in key assumptions or underlying business conditions could materially affect the estimated fair value of the reporting unit.

Potential events or changes in circumstances that could negatively impact these assumptions include sustained declines in the Company's stock price, lower than expected revenue growth, increased competition within the SaaS and communications markets (including from emerging technologies), adverse changes in profitability, or unfavorable changes in macroeconomic conditions. If such events occur, the Company may be required to perform an interim impairment test, which could result in the recognition of a goodwill impairment charge.

**ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

**Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk**

*Cash and Cash Equivalents*

We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $93.3 million as of March 31, 2026. Cash equivalents were invested primarily in money market funds. Our investment policy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity needs. Under the policy, we invest in highly rated securities, while limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer other than the United States government. We do not invest in financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on the value of our cash and cash equivalents.

*2024 Term Loan*

The Company is subject to interest rate risk with the 2024 Term Loan as we pay interest on the principal balance at a variable rate. As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate principal of the 2024 Term Loan was $122.0 million. A hypothetical variable interest rate increase of 10% would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $0.9 million on our consolidated results of operations.

*2028 Notes*

As of March 31, 2026, we have $201.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes. Our 2028 Notes bear a fixed interest rate, and therefore, are not subject to interest rate risk as the 2028 Notes are recorded at face value, less unamortized discount, on our consolidated balance sheets, and we present the fair value for required disclosure purposes only.

**Foreign Currency Exchange Risk**

We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar, primarily the British Pound and Singapore Dollar, causing both our revenue and our operating results to be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates. Gains or losses from the revaluation of certain cash balances, accounts receivable balances and intercompany balances that are denominated in these currencies impact our net income (loss). A hypothetical decrease in all foreign currencies against the United States dollar of 10% would not result in a material foreign currency loss on foreign-denominated balances as of March 31, 2026.

In addition, we are exposed to translation risk in connection with our foreign operations in Europe and Asia because our subsidiaries in these countries utilize the local currency as their functional currency and those financial results must be translated into U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on the net assets of these foreign subsidiaries' operations are accounted for as translation gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders' equity. During the year ended March 31, 2026, a hypothetical change of 10% in such foreign currency exchange rates would have resulted in additional foreign currency translation adjustment of approximately $14.6 million within accumulated other comprehensive loss.

As our foreign operations expand, our results may be more impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which we do business.

At this time, we do not, but we may in the future, enter into financial instruments to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk.

**8X8, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies**

**The Company**

8x8, Inc. ("8x8" or the "Company") was incorporated in California in February 1987 and was reincorporated in Delaware in December 1996. The Company trades under the symbol "EGHT" on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

***Basis of Presentation and Consolidation***

The Company's fiscal year ends on March 31 of each calendar year. Each reference to a fiscal year in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements refers to the fiscal year ended March 31 of the calendar year indicated (for example, fiscal 2026 refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026).

All dollar amounts herein are in thousands of United States Dollars ("Dollars") unless otherwise noted.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 8x8 and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, current expected credit losses, returns reserve for expected cancellations, fair value of and/or potential impairment of goodwill and value and useful life of long-lived assets (including intangible assets and right-of-use assets), capitalized internal-use software costs, benefit period for deferred contract acquisition costs, stock-based compensation, incremental borrowing rate used to calculate operating lease liabilities, income and sales tax liabilities, convertible senior notes fair value, litigation, and other contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on known facts and circumstances, historical experience, and various other assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

***Revenue Recognition***

As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the recognition of revenue. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue if management were to make different judgments or utilize different estimates.

The Company recognizes revenue using the five-step model prescribed by U.S. GAAP, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• determination of the transaction price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company identifies performance obligations in contracts with customers, which may include subscription services and related usage, product revenue, and professional services. The transaction price is determined based on the amount we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring the promised services or products to the customer. The transaction price in the contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in an amount that represents the relative amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis when the Company is considered the principal in the transaction with discretion on pricing and control, as performance obligations are satisfied, based on the transaction price, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as sales and telecommunication taxes, which are collected on behalf of and remitted to governmental authorities. The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis when the Company is considered the agent in third party license sales, if material. We generally bill our customers on a monthly basis. Contracts typically range from annual to multi-year agreements with payment terms of net 30 days. We occasionally allow a 30-day period to cancel a subscription and return products shipped for a full refund.

------

The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated sales returns and customer credits at the time the related revenue is recognized. Sales returns and customer credits are estimated based on historical experience, current trends, and expectations regarding future experience. The Company monitors the accuracy of its sales reserve estimates by reviewing actual returns and credits and adjusts them for its future expectations to determine the adequacy of its current and future reserve needs. If actual future returns and credits differ from past experience, additional reserves may be required.

When the Company's services do not meet certain service level commitments, customers are entitled to receive service credits, and in certain cases, refunds, each representing a form of variable consideration. The Company historically has not experienced any significant incidents affecting the defined levels of reliability and performance as required by its subscription contracts. Accordingly, the amount of any estimated refunds related to these agreements in the consolidated financial statements is not material during the periods presented.

***Judgments and Estimates***

The estimation of variable consideration for each performance obligation requires the Company to make subjective judgments. The Company has service-level agreements with customers warranting defined levels of uptime reliability and performance. Customers may get credits or refunds if the Company fails to meet such levels. If the services do not meet certain criteria, fees are subject to adjustment or refund representing a form of variable consideration. Usage fees deemed to be variable consideration meet the allocation exception for variable consideration.

The Company enters into contracts with customers that regularly include promises to transfer multiple services and products, such as subscriptions, products, and professional services. For arrangements with multiple services, the Company evaluates whether the individual services qualify as distinct performance obligations. In its assessment of whether a service is a distinct performance obligation, the Company determines whether the customer can benefit from the service on its own or with other readily available resources, and whether the service is separately identifiable from other services in the contract. This evaluation requires the Company to assess the nature of each individual service offering and how the services are provided in the context of the contract, including whether the services are significantly integrated, highly interrelated, or significantly modify each other, which may require judgment based on the facts and circumstances of the contract.

When significant agreements involve multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates arrangement consideration to all performance obligations at the inception of an arrangement based on the relative standalone selling prices ("SSP") of each performance obligation. Where the Company has standalone sales data for its performance obligations which are indicative of the price at which the Company sells a promised good or service separately to a customer, such data is used to establish SSP. In instances where standalone sales data is not available for a particular performance obligation, the Company estimates SSP by the use of market conditions and other observable inputs. The Company continues to review the factors used to establish list price and will adjust standalone selling price methodologies as necessary on a prospective basis.

***Service Revenue***

Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company's cloud-based technology platform is recognized ratably over the contractual subscription term, beginning on the date that the platform is delivered to the customer until the end of the contractual period. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue; revenue recognized for services rendered in advance of payments received are recorded as contract assets. Usage fees, when bundled, are billed in advance and recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term, which is usually the monthly contractual billing period. Non-bundled usage fees are recognized as actual usage occurs.

***Other Revenue***

Other revenue comprises primarily of product revenue and professional services revenue.

The Company recognizes product revenue for telephony equipment at the point in time when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon shipment. Sales returns are recorded as a reduction to revenue estimated based on historical experience. Professional services for deployment, configuration, system integration, optimization, customer training, or education are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly. Professional services revenue is recognized as services are performed or upon completion of the deployment.

***Contract Assets***

Contract assets are recorded for contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services or equipment for a reduced consideration at the onset of an arrangement, for example, when the initial month's services or equipment are discounted. Contract assets are included in other current assets or other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period or beyond.

------

***Deferred Revenue***

Deferred revenue represents billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and are recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services and professional and training services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Revenue that will be recognized during the twelve-month period in which the Company is providing services are recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as deferred revenue, non-current in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

***Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs***

Deferred contract acquisition costs primarily consist of deferred sales commissions and are considered incremental and recoverable costs of acquiring customer contracts. These costs are capitalized as deferred contract acquisition costs and amortized on a straight-line basis over the anticipated benefit period of five years. The benefit period was estimated by taking into consideration the length of customer contracts, technology lifecycle, and other factors. This amortization expense is recorded in sales and marketing expense within the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

The Company applies a practical expedient that permits it to apply an anticipated benefit period to a portfolio of contracts, instead of on a contract-by-contract basis, as they are similar in their characteristics, and the financial statement effects of that application to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying it to the individual contracts within that portfolio.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

***Allowance for Credit Losses***

The Company accounts for allowance for credit losses under the current expected credit loss, or CECL, impairment model for its financial assets, including accounts receivable, and presents the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. The current expected credit loss impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, which considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. Based on this model, the Company estimates the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable at the end of each reporting period based on the aging of the receivable balance, current and historical customer trends, communications with its customers, and macro-economic conditions. Amounts are written off after considerable collection efforts have been made and the amounts are determined to be uncollectible.

***Concentrations***

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company has policies to limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution and restrict placement of these funds to financial institutions evaluated as highly credit-worthy. Although the Company deposits its cash with multiple financial institutions, its deposits may exceed federally insured limits.

The Company sells its products to customers and distributors. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral from its customers. Accounts receivable, net, was $57.0 million, $49.7 million and $59.0 million as of March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and no customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable. For the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, no customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue.

The Company purchases all of its hardware products from suppliers that manufacture the hardware directly and from their distributors. The inability of any supplier to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could materially impact future operating results, financial position, or cash flows.

The Company also relies primarily on third-party network service providers to provide telephone numbers and public switched telephone network ("PSTN") call termination and origination services for its customers. If these service providers failed to perform their obligations to the Company, such failure could materially impact future operating results, financial position, and cash flows.

***Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Assets, and Lease Liabilities***

The Company primarily leases facilities for office and data center space under non-cancellable operating leases for its United States and international locations that expire at various dates through 2030. For leases with a term greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments are not included in the lease payments to measure the lease liability and are expensed as incurred.

The Company's leases have remaining terms of 3 months to five years. Some of the leases include a Company option to extend the lease term between three and five years, which if reasonably certain to be exercised, the Company includes in the determination of lease payments. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

------

As most of the Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement, which is determined using a portfolio approach, based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company uses the implicit rate when a rate is readily determinable. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, and the expense for these short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

***Property and Equipment***

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the service period of the related fixed asset as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Property and equipment** | **Useful Lives** | **Useful Lives** | **Useful Lives** |
| Computer equipment | 3 | - | 5 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | | | 5 years |
| Capitalized internal-use software | 3 | - | 7 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of estimated useful life or remaining lease term | Lesser of estimated useful life or remaining lease term | Lesser of estimated useful life or remaining lease term |

---

Expenditures for improvements that extend the physical or economic life of the property are capitalized. Construction in progress primarily related to costs to acquire or develop internal-use software not fully completed as of March 31, 2025.

Maintenance, repairs, and ordinary replacements are charged to expense. Gains or losses on the disposition of property and equipment are recorded in other income (expense), net within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

***Capitalized Internal-Use Software Costs***

Certain costs of software are capitalized during the application development phase. The Company begins to capitalize costs to develop software when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. In certain cases, the Company may elect to purchase software licenses, which are recorded to property and equipment.

Capitalized internal-use software development costs are included in property and equipment. Once the project has been completed, these costs are amortized to cost of service revenue on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset as noted in Property and Equipment.

Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred and recorded in research and development expense. The Company tests capitalized internal-use software development costs for impairment on an annual basis, or as events occur or circumstances change that could impact the recoverability of the capitalized costs.

***Accounting for Long-Lived Assets***

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, right-of-use assets, definite lived intangibles, or capitalized internal-use software costs, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Examples of such events could include the disposal of a significant portion of such asset, an adverse change in the market involving the business employing the related asset, or a significant change in the operation or use of an asset. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company's ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to estimate the fair value of long-lived assets and asset groups through future cash flows.

***Business Combinations***

The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The Company's estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to change. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially established in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

*Fiscal 2026 Acquisitions*

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we completed two individually immaterial acquisitions for total consideration of $6.4 million, comprised of $5.3 million in cash and $1.1 million in cash that represents an accrued holdback and other contingent consideration. The Company acquired $0.5 million in cash, resulting in net consideration of $5.9 million and net cash outflow of $4.8 million. These acquisitions support business connectivity services. The major class of assets and liabilities to which we preliminarily allocated the purchase prices were $3.9 million to identifiable intangible assets and $3.1 million to goodwill. The goodwill recognized in connection with these acquisitions is primarily attributable to the synergies related to our existing products expected to be realized from the acquisitions and the assembled workforce. Results of operations and transaction costs are immaterial and have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of each acquisition. Pro forma and historical results of operations of the Company have not been presented, as the results do not have a material effect on any of the periods presented in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

*Fiscal 2025 Acquisitions*

On February 24, 2025, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity and voting interest of a telecommunications company for $5.1 million in consideration, comprised of $3.8 million in cash, $0.5 million of the Company's common stock which vested one year from the acquisition close date and the remaining $0.8 million in cash that represents an accrued holdback subject to any indemnity claims. The Company acquired $0.6 million in cash, resulting in net consideration of $4.5 million and net cash outflow of $3.2 million. This acquisition supports business connectivity services. The major class of assets and liabilities to which we preliminarily allocated the purchase price were $0.3 million to identifiable intangible assets and $4.3 million to goodwill. The goodwill recognized in connection with this acquisition is primarily attributable to the synergies related to our existing products expected to be realized from the acquisition and the assembled workforce. The associated goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

***Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets***

Goodwill represents the excess fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but tested annually for impairment and more often if there is an indicator of impairment.

The Company performs testing for impairment of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company's single reporting unit below its carrying amount. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

Intangible assets, consisting of acquired developed technology, trade names and domains, and customer relationships, acquired in business combinations were initially measured at fair value and were determined to have definite lives. Thereafter, intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense related to developed technology is included in cost of revenue. Amortization expense related to customer relationships and trade names are included in sales and marketing expense. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset's carrying value may not be recoverable.

***Convertible Senior Notes***

In accounting for the issuance of the 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (collectively, the "Notes"), the Company recorded the Notes as liabilities, as the conversion features do not require bifurcation and recognition as embedded derivatives.

The excess of the principal amount of the liability over its carrying amount ("debt discount") is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes.

The Company recorded the issuance costs as a reduction to the liability portion of the Notes, which are amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes.

***Warrant Liabilities***

Warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock are classified as an other liability on the consolidated balance sheets and held at fair value, as the warrants contain certain terms that could result in cash settlement as a result of events outside of the Company's control. The warrants are subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized in other income (expense), net within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants.

***Research and Development Expenses***

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, stock-based compensation, third-party development and related work, software and equipment costs necessary for us to conduct our product and platform development and engineering efforts, allocated information technology ("IT"), and facilities costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

------

***Advertising Costs***

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $1.6 million, $1.6 million, and $1.0 million for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

***Foreign Currency Translation***

The Company has determined that the functional currency of each of its foreign subsidiaries is the subsidiary's local currency. The Company believes that this most appropriately reflects the current economic facts and circumstances of the subsidiaries' operations. The assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated at the applicable exchange rate as of the end of the balance sheet period and revenue and expense amounts are translated at an average rate over the period presented. Resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders' equity.

***Segment Information***

The Company has one operating and reportable segment offering software-as-a-service solutions through the Company's Platform for CX, which delivers unified communications-as-a-service, contact center-as-a-service, and communications platform-as-a-service. The Company derives revenue in the United States, United Kingdom and other international geographical locations from service revenue, other revenue and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company, has been identified as the chief operating decision maker, or CODM. The CEO manages and reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis and uses consolidated net income (loss) for purposes of making operating decisions, evaluating operating expenses, assessing financial performance and the allocation of resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. Our CODM does not assess segment performance or make decisions using asset or liability information.

The Company concluded that it has one reporting unit, and it operates in a single reportable segment.

Revenue is disaggregated in Note 2, Revenue, including between subscription and platform usage, to depict the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. This disaggregation reflects differences in the underlying economic characteristics of the Company's services, including recurring subscription arrangements and usage-based activity, but does not represent how the CODM evaluates performance or allocates resources. Since the Company operates as a single reportable segment, entity-wide disclosures, including geographic information, are also presented in Note 2, Revenue.

For additional information about how the Company derives its revenue, as well as the Company's accounting policy, refer to the "Revenue Recognition" policy and descriptions of "Service Revenue" and "Other Revenue" detailed above.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments***

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal market or the most advantageous market in which it would transact.

The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including the Company's own assumptions.

------

The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies considered to be appropriate. The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. We classify our highly liquid money market funds within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The Company's Term Loan (as defined in Note [8](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_136), Convertible Senior Notes and Term Loan) is recorded at net carrying value. The Company classifies its warrant liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as they are remeasured at fair value each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on significant unobservable inputs, including expected volatility, risk-free rate and expected term (see Note 3, Fair Value Measurements).

***Stock-Based Compensation***

The Company accounts for the fair value of restricted stock units ("RSUs") using the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. For new-hire grants and annual refresh grants, one-third of the RSUs typically vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, and the remainder vest on a one-eighth basis quarterly over the subsequent two years.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for RSUs based on the grant date fair value on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period), net of actual forfeitures.

For performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"), stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value, to the extent it is probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. Stock-based compensation expense recognition is updated each reporting period based on the Company's assessment of the probability of achievement and the number of awards expected to vest.

For PSUs that include market-based vesting conditions, such as stock price hurdles or relative total shareholder return metrics, the grant date fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately satisfied, and is also recorded net of actual forfeitures.

The Company estimates the fair value of the rights to acquire stock under its 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The ESPP provides for consecutive six-month offering periods with a one-year look-back period and the Company uses its own historical volatility data in the valuation of shares that are purchased under the ESPP.

***Comprehensive Income (Loss)***

Comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period. The difference between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) is due to foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on investments classified as available-for-sale.

***Income Taxes***

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences, attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company classifies interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of operating expense before income taxes.

***Net Income (Loss) Per Share***

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of vested, unrestricted common shares outstanding during the period (denominator). Diluted net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method unless their effect is anti-dilutive. For periods where a net loss was recognized, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same, as the effect of potential common shares would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, ESPP shares, RSUs and PSUs.

***Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements***

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity's income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis in fiscal 2026. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations but did result in incremental disclosures. See Note [10](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_145), Income Taxes, for further details on the impact of this adoption.

***Recently Issued Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Topic 220): Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, and issued subsequent amendments to the implementation guidance (including ASU 2025-01), which requires companies to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

In November 2024, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt (Topic 470): Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which clarifies whether the induced conversion guidance can be applied to the settlement of a convertible debt instrument that does not require the issuance of equity securities upon conversion. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, providing a practical expedient to calculating current expected credit loss by assuming that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset. This expedient can only be applied to current accounts receivable and current contract assets. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods, and this update is applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which updates the accounting model by replacing the project stage approach with a probable-to-complete threshold, relocates website development guidance into Subtopic 350-40, and requires enhanced disclosures for capitalized software costs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements, changes in accounting pronouncements or recently adopted accounting guidance during the year ended March 31, 2026 that are of significance or potential significance to us.

**2. Revenue**

***Disaggregation of Revenue***

The Company believes that the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are most appropriately depicted by (i) geographic region and (ii) type of revenue or service provided. Revenue is disaggregated between subscription and platform usage, as these categories reflect key differences in economic characteristics, including recurring, over-time subscription revenue and variable, usage-based revenue driven by customer consumption.

The following table sets forth the revenue geographic information based on the billing address of customers for each period (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended March 31,** | **Year Ended March 31,** | **Year Ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** | **2024** |
| United States | $447309 | $478338 | $507507 |
| United Kingdom | 127062 | 124124 | 121920 |
| Other international<sup>1</sup> | 161381 | 112608 | 99278 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total revenue | $735752 | $715070 | $728705 |

---

<sup>1</sup> *No individual other international country represented 10% or more of the Company's total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2026, 2025, or 2024.*

------

Service revenue consists of communication services subscriptions and platform usage revenue and related fees from our UCaaS, CCaaS and CPaaS offerings. Subscription, platform usage, and other revenue were as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended March 31,** | **Year Ended March 31,** | **Year Ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Service revenue |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subscription revenue | $572086 | $601162 | $620974 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Platform usage revenue | 143173 | 91761 | 79605 |

***Contract Balances***

The following table provides amounts of contract assets and deferred revenue from contracts with customers (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **March 31, 2025** |
| Contract assets, current (component of Other current assets) | $6113 | $7009 |
| Contract assets, non-current (component of Other non-current assets) | 6356 | 7268 |
| Deferred revenue, current | 36699 | 37751 |
| Deferred revenue, non-current | 181 | 706 |

---

Contract assets are recorded for contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. Contract assets, net of allowances for credit losses, are included in other current assets or other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, depending on if their reduction will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period or beyond. The allowance applied to our contract assets as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 and the activity in this account, including the current-period provision for expected credit losses for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, were not material. As of March 31, 2024, contract assets, current and non-current were $9.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Accounts receivable, net, which also represents a contract balance arising from contracts with customers, including trade accounts receivable and unbilled trade accounts receivable, is disclosed in Note 4, Financial Statement Components.

The change in contract assets was primarily driven by billing customers for amounts that had previously been recognized in revenue but not yet billed. The change in deferred revenue was primarily driven by the recognition of subscription and professional services revenue on previously invoiced non-monthly contracts, partially offset by new non-monthly invoices billed during the year. As of March 31, 2024, deferred revenue, current and non-current were $34.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $36.5 million, $34.7 million, and $38.7 million that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the fiscal year, respectively.

***Remaining Performance Obligations***

The Company's subscription terms typically range from one year to five years. Contract revenue from the remaining performance obligations that had not yet been recognized as of March 31, 2026, was approximately $660 million. This amount excludes contracts with an original expected length of less than one year. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 87% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 24 months, including approximately 63% of the remaining performance obligations estimated to be recognized within 12 months, and approximately 13% estimated to be recognized over the remainder of the subscription period.

***Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs***

Deferred sales commissions are considered incremental and recoverable costs of acquiring customer contracts. Amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024 was $33.1 million, $38.0 million, and $40.2 million, respectively. There were no material write-offs during the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024.

The following table provides amounts of deferred contract acquisition costs from contracts with customers (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **March 31, 2025** |

---

As of March 31, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $116.7 million included $116.3 million and $0.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and non-current restricted cash, respectively.

To support its current operations, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The restricted cash component is related to accrued holdbacks for business combinations (see Note [1](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_109), The Company and Significant Accounting Policies).

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model to value its detachable warrants from inception and at each reporting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company used historical volatility to determine the fair value of the warrants liability due to the low trading volume and moneyness assessment as of March 31, 2026. Changes in the fair values of the detachable warrants liability are recorded as a gain (loss) on warrants remeasurement within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The following table presents additional information about valuation techniques and inputs used for the detachable warrants (see Note [8](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_136), Convertible Senior Notes and Term Loan) that are measured at fair value and categorized within Level 3 as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **March 31, 2025** |
| Estimated fair value of detachable warrants | $233 | $1096 |
| Unobservable inputs: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock volatility | 78.8% | 79.8% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk-free rate | 3.7% | 3.9% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected term | 1.3 years | 2.4 years |

---

As of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company's convertible senior notes due in 2028 was $187.7 million and $171.1 million, respectively (see Note [8](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_136), Convertible Senior Notes and Term Loan). The fair value of the convertible senior notes was determined based on the closing price of each of the securities on the last trading day of the reporting period, and each is Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy due to limited trading activity of the debt instruments. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the carrying value of the Company's Term Loan approximates its estimated fair value.

**7. Commitments and Contingencies**

*Indemnification*

In the normal course of business, the Company may agree to indemnify other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company with respect to certain matters, such as breaches of representations or covenants or intellectual property infringement or other claims made by third parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors.

It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of the Company's exposure under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material impact on the Company's operating results, financial position, or cash flows. Under some of these agreements, however, the Company's potential indemnification liability might not have a contractual limit.

*Operating Leases*

The Company's lease obligations consist of the Company's principal facility and various leased facilities under operating lease agreements. See Note [6](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_130), Leases, for more information on the Company's leases and the future minimum lease payments.

*Purchase Obligations*

The Company's purchase obligations include contracts with third-party customer support vendors and third-party network service providers. These contracts include minimum monthly commitments and the requirements to maintain the service level for several months.

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company increased its noncancellable three-year hosting service contract from $24.1 million to $54.0 million. Under this agreement, $10.0 million will be due during each of fiscal 2027 and 2028.

The total contractual minimum commitments were approximately $69.6 million as of March 31, 2026.

*Legal Proceedings*

The Company may be involved in various claims, lawsuits, investigations, and other legal proceedings, including intellectual property, commercial, regulatory compliance, securities, and employment matters that arise in the normal course of business. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information to determine whether any accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required. Actual claims could settle or be adjudicated against the Company in the future for materially different amounts than the Company has accrued due to the inherently unpredictable nature of litigation. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such lawsuits and claims and proceedings as of March 31, 2026. The Company believes that damage amounts claimed in these matters are not meaningful indicators of potential liability. Some of the matters pending against the Company involve potential compensatory, punitive, or treble damage claims or sanctions that, if granted, could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of the ongoing matters described herein cannot be predicted, and the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, the consolidated financial statements could be materially adversely affected in a particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

*State and Local Taxes and Surcharges*

From time to time, the Company has received inquiries from a number of state and local taxing agencies with respect to the remittance of sales, use, telecommunications, excise, and income taxes. Several jurisdictions currently are conducting tax audits of the Company's records. The Company collects and/or accrues amounts for all taxes and surcharges that it believes are required. The amounts that have been remitted have historically been within the accruals established by the Company. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the taxability of its services with respect to sales, use, telecommunications or other similar indirect taxes and adjusts its accrual when facts relating to specific exposures warrant such adjustment. A similar review was performed on the taxability of services provided by Fuze, Inc., and it was determined that certain services may be subject to sales, use, telecommunications or other similar indirect taxes in certain jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Company recorded contingent indirect tax liabilities. Based on such assessments, as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had accrued contingent indirect tax liabilities of $9.4 million and $11.1 million, respectively.

The 2024 Term Loan (as defined below) is the Company's senior secured obligation and ranks senior in right of payment to any of the Company's indebtedness. The 2028 Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligation but rank junior in right of payment to any of the Company's secured indebtedness to the extent of such security.

*2024 Delayed Draw Term Loan*

On July 11, 2024, the Company entered into a new term loan credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders thereto (the "2024 Credit Agreement"). The 2024 Credit Agreement establishes a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million maturing on August 15, 2027.

On August 5, 2024, the Company drew upon the entire facility of $200.0 million under the delayed draw term loan facility (the "2024 Term Loan") and used the proceeds of the 2024 Term Loan and cash on hand of approximately $29.0 million to repay in full the $225.0 million of outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of the 2022 Term Loan (defined below) and the fees incurred in connection with the repayment (the "Repayment"). For additional information, refer to the "2022 Term Loan and Warrants" section below.

The 2024 Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the Term Standard Overnight Financing Rate (the "Term SOFR"), plus a margin of either 2.50%, 2.75% or 3.00% based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries. The initial margin was 3.00% for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024 and remained 3.00% as of March 31, 2026. The Company has the option to pay interest monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company elected monthly interest payment terms resulting in contractual interest expense of $2.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, the debt issuance costs were amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2024 Term Loan at an effective interest rate of 8.64%.

<sup>1</sup> *Amount represents the non-cash amortization of debt discount and issuance costs associated with the Company's debt instruments. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the debt using the effective interest method.*

<sup>2</sup> *Total debt interest expense excludes the impact of capitalized interest related to property, plant and equipment from general borrowing costs during the year ended March 31, 2026.*

------

Under the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement, the Company has the right to prepay the 2024 Term Loan at any time without any premium or penalty. The Company completed the following principal payments during the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2026, the scheduled principal repayments are $39.5 million in fiscal 2027 ($2.0 million on June 30, 2026 and $12.5 million on September 30, 2026 and each quarter thereafter through maturity), and $82.5 million is due before or upon maturity in fiscal 2028. These annualized repayments will be made in quarterly installments. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has paid $37.5 million, $8.0 million, and $10.0 million of the originally scheduled principal repayments due fiscal 2026, 2027, and 2028, respectively, and the remaining principal amount of the 2024 Term Loan after the payments is $122.0 million.

On July 29, 2025, the Company executed the First Amendment (the "Amendment") to the 2024 Credit Agreement. The Amendment is designed to provide additional financial flexibility and support future strategic initiatives. The Amendment reflects the Company's continued commitment to financial discipline as it executes long-term growth priorities and investor return initiatives. Under the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement, the Company may prepay the 2024 Term Loan at any time without incurring a premium or penalty. The Amendment also modified, among other things, the requirements to meet certain financial ratio tests in connection with permitted acquisitions and an adjustment to maintain the existing consolidated total net leverage ratio (a measure of total debt relative to Adjusted Cash EBITDA) at its current level for the duration of the 2024 Credit Agreement. In connection with the Amendment, the Company prepaid $10.0 million of the remaining long-term principal payment due in August 2027 under the 2024 Term Loan. This prepayment did not adjust the scheduled quarterly principal payments.

These short-term principal debt repayments are accounted for as partial debt extinguishment transactions. The carrying value of the 2024 Term Loan, including the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was derecognized. The difference of $0.5 million between the cash consideration paid to partially extinguish the 2024 Term Loan and the carrying value of the 2024 Term Loan was recognized as a loss on debt extinguishment included in the loss on debt extinguishment line item recorded in other expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

The obligations under the 2024 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions, and secured by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company's tangible and intangible assets, as well as substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the guarantors.

Mandatory prepayments of the 2024 Term Loan are required to be made upon the occurrence of certain events, including, without limitation, (i) sales of certain assets, (ii) receipt of certain casualty and condemnation awards proceeds, and (iii) the incurrence of non-permitted indebtedness, subject to certain thresholds and reinvestment rights. Voluntary prepayments are permitted at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain customary break funding payments.

The 2024 Credit Agreement contains a consolidated interest coverage ratio financial covenant, a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio financial covenant and a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio financial covenant, and contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for transactions of this type, including limitations with respect to share repurchases, indebtedness, liens, investments, dividends, disposition of assets, change in business, and transactions with affiliates. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants set forth in the 2024 Credit Agreement.

*2022 Term Loan and Warrants*

The Company borrowed $250.0 million in a senior secured term loan facility (the "2022 Term Loan") under a term loan credit agreement (the "2022 Credit Agreement") entered into on August 3, 2022 with Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent, and certain affiliates of Francisco Partners ("FP"), with aggregate debt issuance costs and discount of approximately $20.0 million, including $2.8 million paid in the form of shares of the Company's common stock. The 2022 Term Loan bore interest at an annual rate equal to the Term SOFR (which was subject to a floor of 1.00% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%), plus a margin of 6.50%. The debt discount and debt issuance costs were amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2022 Term Loan at an effective interest rate of 11.9%.

Prior to its repayment in August 2024, the 2022 Term Loan included customary prepayment, guarantee, and collateral provisions, which are no longer applicable, as the debt has been fully extinguished.

------

In connection with the 2022 Credit Agreement, the Company issued detachable warrants (the "Warrants") to affiliates of FP to purchase an aggregate of 3.1 million shares of the Company's common stock with a five-year term and an exercise price of $7.15 per share (subject to adjustment) that represents a 27.5% premium over the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on August 3, 2022. The Warrants are classified as liabilities, as the Warrants contain certain terms that could result in cash settlement as a result of events outside of the Company's control. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the Warrants as liabilities at fair value initially and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. The fair value of the Warrants was $5.9 million upon issuance, and $0.2 million at March 31, 2026, and was recorded within Other liabilities, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets. The subsequent changes in fair value were recorded through Other income (expense), net on the Company's consolidated statement of operations. See Note [3](#ia3115b7eb9544de0bccf4fb1eccb54b8_121), Fair Value Measurements, for further details.

On August 5, 2024, the Company repaid in full the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of the 2022 Term Loan using the proceeds of the 2024 Term Loan and cash on hand. The Repayment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The carrying value of the 2022 Term Loan, including the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was derecognized. The difference of $12.0 million between the cash consideration paid to extinguish the 2022 Term Loan and the carrying value of the 2022 Term Loan was recognized as a loss on debt extinguishment included in the loss on debt extinguishment line item recorded in other expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Warrants continue to be outstanding, with no change in terms in connection with the Repayment or issuance of the 2024 Term Loan.

***Exchange Transaction and Convertible Notes***

*Exchange Transaction*

On August 11, 2022, the Company issued approximately $201.9 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.00% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 11, 2022 (the "2028 Notes Indenture"), by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Notes, together with approximately $181.8 million in cash consideration from borrowing the 2022 Term Loan, in exchange for approximately $403.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's outstanding 2024 Notes pursuant to privately negotiated agreements (the "Exchange Agreements") with a limited number of existing holders of the 2024 Notes (the "Exchange Transaction").

*2024 Notes*

The 0.5% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes") matured on February 1, 2024 and were paid off in full, including the remaining aggregate principal of $63.3 million and accrued interest of $0.2 million, and were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the indenture governing the 2024 Notes. In addition, during fiscal 2023, the Company completed three repurchases of the 2024 Notes totaling approximately $32.9 million in aggregate principal amount, excluding the Exchange Transaction.

*2028 Notes*

As part of the Exchange Transaction, the Company issued $201.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes, with debt issuance costs of approximately $5.6 million, of which 50% was paid in the form of shares of the Company's common stock.

The 2028 Notes are senior obligations of the Company that accrue interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2023. The 2028 Notes will mature on February 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The initial conversion rate is 139.8064 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $7.15 per share), subject to customary adjustments. Upon conversion of the 2028 Notes, the Company may elect to satisfy the conversion obligation by cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's stock.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2027, the 2028 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.At any time during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2022 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.During the five business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the measurement period), if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.If the Company calls any or all of the 2028 Notes for redemption prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2027; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events (as set forth in the 2028 Notes Indenture).

On or after November 15, 2027, holders of the 2028 Notes may convert their 2028 Notes at their option at any time until the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the maturity date.

------

Under the terms of the 2028 Notes, the Company cannot redeem the 2028 Notes prior to August 6, 2025. On or after August 6, 2025, the Company may, at its option, redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued unpaid interest, only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, including if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a redemption notice.

If a fundamental change (as defined in the 2028 Notes Indenture) occurs at any time prior to February 1, 2028, holders of 2028 Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2028 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. In addition, in connection with certain corporate events or if the Company issues a notice of redemption, a fundamental change will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their 2028 Notes in connection with such corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.

The 2028 Notes Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the Trustee or holders of no less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of all the 2028 Notes, and the interest accrued on such 2028 Notes, if any, to become immediately due and payable. Upon events of default in connection with specified bankruptcy events involving the Company, the 2028 Notes will become due and payable immediately.

The debt discount and debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2028 Notes at an effective interest rate of 4.7%.

------

***2022 Equity Incentive Plan***

The maximum number of shares reserved for the grant of awards under the Amended and Restated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the " 2022 Plan") will be equal to the sum of the following: (i) 8.0 million shares available for grant under the 2022 Plan when it was initially adopted by stockholders on July 12, 2022, plus (ii) 14.0 million new shares approved by stockholders on August 15, 2024, plus (iii) 8.5 million new shares approved by stockholders on July 25, 2025, plus (iv) the number of shares subject to stock options granted under the Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan") that were outstanding as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on June 22, 2022 (the "Prior Plan Expiration Time"), but only to the extent such stock options expire, terminate, are cancelled without having been exercised in full or are settled in cash after the Prior Plan Expiration Time without the delivery of shares, plus (v) the number of shares subject to restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") granted under the Prior Plan that were outstanding as of the Prior Plan Expiration Time, but only to the extent such awards are forfeited by the holder, are reacquired by the Company at less than their then market value as a means of effecting a forfeiture, or are settled in cash after the Prior Plan Expiration Time without the delivery of shares (with the number of shares that recycle based on the Applicable Ratio, which is defined in the 2022 Plan), in each case, subject to adjustment upon certain changes in the Company's capitalization.

The 2022 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options to employees and non-statutory stock options to employees, directors or consultants, and granting of stock appreciation and purchase rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units, performance-based awards, and stock grants.

***Performance Stock Units***

*Market-Based PSUs*

Market-based PSUs are granted to certain employees, including executive officers, with vesting that is contingent on a combination of stock performance and continued service. These awards are eligible to be earned over a period of one year to four years based on Total Shareholder Return ("TSR"), relative to specified market indices, or the achievement of specific pre-established absolute stock price hurdles.

The grant date fair value of market-based PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately achieved. During fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company's determined that the market conditions were not achieved and therefore no shares have been earned.

*Performance-Based PSUs*

Performance-based PSUs are granted to certain employees, including executive officers, with vesting based on the achievement of specific financial or operational goals, such as revenue growth or cash flow from operations ("CFFO"). The grant date fair value of performance-based PSUs are valued based on the Company's stock price at the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the number of units expected to vest, which is reassessed during each reporting period based on the Company's evaluation of the probability of achieving the applicable performance conditions.

The Company determined that the CFFO and revenue targets for the performance period were probable of being achieved and recognized $2.0 million and $1.8 million during fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

***1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan***

The Company's Amended and Restated 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Employee Stock Purchase Plan") was adopted in June 1996 and became effective upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering in July 1997. In May 2006, the Company's board of directors approved a ten-year extension of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Stockholders approved the ten-year extension of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in September 2006. The Company's board of directors then approved the Second Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Purchase Plan in May 2017 which (i) eliminated the expiration date of the plan and (ii) approved a ten-year "evergreen provision" which would increase annually the number of shares available for issuance by up to 0.5 million on the first day of each fiscal year. Stockholders approved these changes in August 2017. In May 2020, the Company's board of directors approved the Amended and Restated 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan which (i) eliminated the "evergreen provision" and (ii) reserved for issuance 3.0 million additional shares. At the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in August 2020, these changes were approved. As a result of these amendments, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is effective until terminated by the Company's board of directors. In May 2022, the Company's board of directors approved amendments to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, including an amendment that reserved for issuance of an additional 3.6 million shares, which were approved by the stockholders in July 2022 at the 2022 Annual Meeting. In June 2025, the Company's board of directors approved an amendment to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan that reserved for issuance of an additional 6.0 million shares, which was approved by the stockholders in July 2025 at the 2025 Annual Meeting. During fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, approximately 1.9 million, 2.4 million, and 1.9 million shares, respectively, were issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of each one-year offering period or the end of each six-month purchase period, whichever is lower. When the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was reinstated in fiscal 2005, the offering period was reduced from two years to one year. Commencing with the purchase period beginning in August 2020, the contribution amount may not exceed 20% of an employee's base compensation, including commissions and standard incentive cash bonuses, but excluding non-standard bonuses and overtime wages. In addition, no participant may purchase more than 10,000 shares or $25,000 in shares of common stock in each offering period, subject to plan and Internal Revenue Code limitations. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides that a new exercise date will be set for each purchase right under the plan, which exercise date will occur before the date of the merger or asset sale.

***Share Repurchase Program***

In May 2017, the Company's board of directors authorized the Company to purchase $25.0 million of its common stock from time to time under the 2017 Repurchase Plan (the "2017 Plan"). The 2017 Plan expires when the maximum purchase amount is reached, or upon the earlier revocation or termination by the Company's board of directors. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 1.0 million shares of common stock in the open market for approximately $1.8 million at an average price of $1.83 per share. The total purchase price of the common stock repurchased and retired was reflected as a reduction to consolidated stockholders' equity during the repurchase period. The remaining amount available under the 2017 Plan as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $5.2 million.

***Retirement Plans***

The Company has savings plans in the U.S. that qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, and a number of savings plans in international locations. Eligible U.S. employees may contribute a portion of their salary into the savings plans, subject to certain limitations. The Company matches a portion of each dollar a participant contributes into the plans. Employer-funded retirement benefits for all plans were $1.7 million, $2.0 million, and $2.0 million for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and were expensed as contributed.

The Company assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets based on the available evidence, including a history of taxable income and estimates of future taxable income. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its US deferred tax assets as it considered the cumulative losses in recent periods to be substantial negative evidence. At March 31, 2026, management determined that a valuation allowance of approximately $373.9 million was needed, compared with approximately $368.8 million as of March 31, 2025.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $994.7 million, of which $307.6 million are related to years prior to fiscal 2019 and begin to expire in 2035. The remaining $687.1 million carry forward indefinitely but can only be used to apply to 80% of the Company's taxable income for a given tax year. As of March 31, 2026, the Company also had state net operating loss carry-forwards of $885.5 million, the majority of which expire at various dates between 2027 and 2046. In addition, at March 31, 2026, the Company had research and development credit carryforwards for federal and California tax reporting purposes of approximately $15.6 million and $25.1 million, respectively. The federal income tax credit carryforwards will expire at various dates between 2037 and 2046, while the California income tax credits will carry forward indefinitely.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $10.2 million, all of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months.

The Company's policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax examinations is to record such items as a component of operating expense income before taxes. For the year ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively, in penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

Utilization of the Company's net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration or elimination of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before utilization. The Company has performed an analysis of its changes in ownership under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as well as with respect to the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards inherited as part of the Fuze acquisition. The Company currently expects the Section 382 limitation to apply with respect to the Fuze carryforwards and limit the Company's ability to fully utilize the Fuze net operating loss carryforwards, prior to their expiration.

The Company files United States federal and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Due to the Company's net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, fiscal years 2003 and forward generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities.

**12. Related Party Transactions**

The Company has conducted business with an outside sales and marketing vendor since December 2017, which became a related party in July 2022 when a member of the Company's board of directors joined the vendor's board of directors. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company renewed its existing one-year contract for an additional one-year contractual term valued at $0.5 million. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid $0.7 million for services rendered to this vendor.

**13. Subsequent Events**

Under the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement, the Company has the right to prepay the 2024 Term Loan at any time without any premium or penalty. On April 10, 2026, the Company paid $14.5 million of quarterly principal payments due under the 2024 Term Loan, of which $12.5 million of this short-term principal debt repayment is accounted for as a partial debt extinguishment transaction. As a result, the recognition of any associated unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of the 2024 Term Loan will be recognized within other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The remaining principal amount of the 2024 Term Loan after the repayments is $107.5 million. The Company has $25.0 million of mandatory principal payments remaining due for fiscal 2027, and the next quarterly payment is due on December 31, 2026.

**ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure**

None.

**ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures**

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2026. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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 Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on our assessment, management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2026.

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 risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited and reported on the consolidated financial statements of 8x8 and on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The report of Grant Thornton LLP is contained in Item 8 of this Annual Report.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

Board of Directors and Stockholders

8x8, Inc.

**Opinion on internal control over financial reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of 8x8, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* 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 March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026, and our report dated May 22, 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. 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 9B. Other Information**

None of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K) during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

On May 20, 2026, our board of directors adopted the 8x8, Inc. Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Bonus Plan"). Under the Bonus Plan, each of the Company's executive officers is eligible to receive bonus awards, which are generally payable in cash, based on performance against pre-established goals. The Bonus Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors (the "Compensation Committee"), provided that approval of awards to our Chief Executive Officer is subject to approval by the board of directors. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, Bonus Plan participants must generally remain continuously employed by us through the bonus payment date to be eligible to receive a bonus. The foregoing summary of the Bonus Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the full Bonus Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.21 hereto.

On May 20, 2026, our board of directors approved the performance periods, metrics and targets for the Bonus Plan for fiscal 2027. For fiscal 2027, performance will be measured and bonuses will be payable on a semi-annual basis for the first six months and the last six months of the fiscal year. For fiscal 2027, executive officers are eligible to earn bonus payments in amounts ranging from 0% to 110% of the executive officer's semi-annual target bonus amount (which is 50% of such executive officer's full year target bonus amount). For all executive officers in fiscal 2027, the Company's financial performance targets consist of a service revenue-based target and a non-GAAP operating income target.

## Exhibit 4.1

**EXHIBIT 4.1**

**DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF 8X8, INC.**

**General**

The following description of our capital stock and provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws is a summary only and not a complete description.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

**Common Stock**

As of March 31, 2026, 141,164,191 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Each holder of our common stock is entitled to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to the rights of any preferred stock that may be outstanding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• his, her or its pro rata share in any distribution of our assets after payment or providing for the payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock in the event of liquidation.

Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights, redemption rights or preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any shares of our common stock or other securities. All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

**Preferred Stock**

Our board of directors has the authority, subject to any limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares constituting any series to be established, without any further vote or action by the stockholders. Any shares of our preferred stock so issued may have priority over our common stock with respect to dividend, liquidation, redemption, voting and other rights.

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. Although the issuance of preferred stock could provide us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, under some circumstances, it could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control.

**Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law, Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws**

Certain provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law could have an anti-takeover effect and could delay, discourage or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including attempts that might otherwise result in a premium being paid over the market price of our common stock.

***Charter and By-laws***

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors, including, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of our board of directors or by stockholders holding shares of our common stock representing in the aggregate a majority of votes then outstanding, which could delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of our board of directors, by majority vote, to amend our by-laws, which may allow our board of directors to take additional actions to prevent a hostile acquisition and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend our by-laws to facilitate a hostile acquisition; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders' meeting, which may 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 us.

***Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute***

We are also subject to certain anti-takeover provisions under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL. Under Section 203 of the DGCL, a corporation may not, in general, engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or (i) our board of directors approves the transaction prior to the stockholder acquiring the 15% ownership position, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder acquiring the 15% ownership position, the stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock (excluding shares owned by directors or officers and shares owned by certain employee stock plans) or (iii) the transaction is approved by the board of directors and by the stockholders at an annual or special meeting by a vote of 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock (excluding shares held or controlled by the interested stockholder). These provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts.

In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any such entity or person.

A Delaware corporation may opt out of this provision by express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws approved by its stockholders. We have not opted out of Section 203. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.

**Transfer Agent and Registrar**

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare, and its address is 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021.

**Listing**

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange under the symbol "EGHT."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**"Performance Period"** means the period over which performance is measured for purposes of determining an Actual Award, as established by the Committee in its sole discretion. A Performance Period may be an entire Fiscal Year or may be a shorter measurement period (such as a fiscal quarter). Performance Periods may be of varying or overlapping duration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**"Plan"** means this 8x8, Inc. Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**"Target Award"** means the target award payable to a Participant for a Performance Period upon achievement of 100% of the applicable performance objectives, as established in accordance with Section 3(b), subject to Section 3(e).

**3. <u>Selection of Participants and Determination of Awards.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Selection of Participants.</u>* The Committee, in its sole discretion, will designate the Executives who will be Participants for each Performance Period. Designation as a Participant for one Performance Period does not entitle an Executive to be designated as a Participant for any subsequent Performance Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Determination of Target Awards.</u>* The Committee, in its sole discretion, will establish a Target Award for each Participant for each Performance Period. A Target Award may be expressed as a percentage of a Participant's base salary, as a fixed dollar amount, or in such other form or based on such other formula as the Committee determines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Discretion to Modify Awards.</u>* Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and at any time prior to payment, increase, reduce, or eliminate a Participant's Actual Award, provided that, any such modifications that impact the CEO's award shall be subject to Board approval. An Actual Award may be below, at, or above the Target Award, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may base any such modification on such factors as it deems relevant, and is not required to apply any specified weighting or allocation among such factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Determination of Performance Goals.</u>* The Committee will, in its sole discretion, determine the performance objectives (if any) applicable to each Target Award (or any portion thereof), which may include, without limitation: revenue (including any component or subset thereof, such as service revenue, subscription revenue, recurring revenue, new bookings, billings, or annualized recurring revenue); operating income or operating margin (including non-GAAP measures); net

------

**Exhibit 10.21**

income; earnings (including earnings per share); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA); gross margin; cash flow (including cash flow from operations, free cash flow, or normalized cash flow); return on equity, assets, investment, or capital employed; total stockholder return (absolute or relative to an index); stock price; expense or cost-reduction targets; working capital; economic value added; market share; customer retention or satisfaction; product, engineering, or platform milestones; workforce or organizational objectives; individual management objectives; and any other financial, operational, strategic, or individual measure approved by the Committee. Performance objectives may be based on GAAP or non-GAAP measures and may be adjusted by the Committee to take into account one-time, unbudgeted, or unusual items, acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, changes in accounting principles, or other events the Committee determines appropriate. Performance objectives may be measured on a Company-wide basis or with respect to one or more business units, divisions, or Affiliates, and in either absolute terms or relative to one or more comparable companies or indices. Performance objectives may differ among Participants and among awards. Failure to achieve a performance objective will result in a failure to earn the associated Target Award, except as provided in Section 3(c). The Committee may also grant an Actual Award (or any portion thereof) without an associated performance objective, in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>CEO Participation</u>.* Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any determinations with respect to the CEO's participation in the Plan and Actual Awards to the CEO hereunder shall be subject to Board approval (and to the extent the CEO is a Board member, the CEO shall recuse himself or herself from such determination).

**4. <u>Payment of Awards.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Right to Receive Payment.</u>* Actual Awards will be paid only to Participants who remain continuously employed with the Company or an Affiliate through the date the Actual Award is paid, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Each Actual Award will be paid solely from the general assets of the Company. Nothing in the Plan creates a trust or any right of any Participant other than the right of an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which a Participant may become entitled hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Timing of Payment.</u>* Each Actual Award will be paid as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Period to which it relates and after the Actual Award has been approved by the Committee, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Actual Award is first no longer subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan is intended to be exempt from, or to comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguity will be interpreted to be so exempt or so to comply. Each payment under the Plan 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;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Form of Payment.</u>* Each Actual Award will generally be paid in cash in a single lump sum. The Committee reserves the right to settle one or more Actual Awards, in whole or in part, in fully vested shares of the Company's common stock granted under the Company's then-current equity incentive plan in the Committee's sole discretion.

**5. <u>Plan Administration.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Committee is the Administrator.</u>* The Plan will be administered by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Committee Authority.</u>* The Committee will have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, without limitation, the power to (i) determine which individuals constitute Executives who will be granted awards; (ii) prescribe the terms and conditions of awards, including the Performance Period(s), and determine Actual Awards; (iii) interpret the Plan and any awards granted hereunder; (iv) adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Executives who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States; (v) adopt, interpret, amend, or revoke rules for the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan; and (vi) establish the terms of any bonus pool, in each case, subject to Section 3(e).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Decisions Binding.</u>* All determinations and decisions made by the Committee, the Board, or any delegate of the Committee under the Plan will be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and will be given the maximum deference permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Delegation by Committee.</u>* The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may determine, may delegate all or part of its authority and powers under the

------

**Exhibit 10.21**

Plan, in each case consistent with the terms of its charter and applicable law and listing standards.

**6. <u>General Provisions.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Tax Withholding.</u>* The Company will withhold from any Actual Award (and from any other compensation payable to a Participant) all federal, state, local, and non-U.S. taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with such Actual Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>No Effect on Employment or Service.</u>* Nothing in the Plan, any award, or any other instrument executed in connection with the Plan will confer on any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in any capacity, or will affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate any Participant's employment at any time, with or without notice and with or without cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>No Right to Participate.</u>* No Executive has the right to be selected to receive an award under the Plan or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive any future award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Successors.</u>* All obligations of the Company under the Plan will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or other transaction involving all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Nontransferability of Awards.</u>* No award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During a Participant's lifetime, all rights with respect to an award are exercisable only by the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Clawback / Recovery.</u>* All awards under the Plan are subject to recoupment under (i) the 8x8 Inc. Clawback Policy and any other clawback or compensation-recovery policy that the Company is required to adopt under the listing standards of any national securities exchange on which the Company's securities are listed, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or any other applicable law, and (ii) any other clawback or recovery policy adopted by the Company. The implementation of any such policy will not be deemed a triggering event for purposes of any definition of "good reason" for resignation or "constructive termination."

**7. <u>Amendment, Termination, and Duration.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Amendment, Suspension, or Termination.</u>* The Board or the Committee may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, in its sole discretion. No award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Duration of Plan.</u>* The Plan will commence on the date first adopted by the Board and, subject to Section 7(a), will remain in effect thereafter.

**8. <u>Legal Construction</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Number.</u>* Except where the context otherwise requires, the plural will include the singular and the singular will include the plural.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Severability.</u>* If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, that illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, and the illegal or invalid provision will be replaced by a legal and valid provision that most closely reflects the intent of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Requirements of Law.</u>* The granting of awards under the Plan is subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and to any approvals required from governmental agencies or national securities exchanges.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Governing Law.</u>* The laws of the State of California will govern all questions concerning the construction, validity, and interpretation of the Plan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Captions.</u>* Captions are provided in the Plan for convenience only and will not serve as a basis for interpreting or construing the Plan.

*Adopted by the Board of Directors of 8x8, Inc. on May 20, 2026.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;April 14, 2026 Suzy Seandel VIA EMAIL RE: Employment Transition and Separation Agreement – CONFIDENTIAL Dear Suzy, This Employment Transition and Separation Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into between you, Suzy Seandel ("You" or "Employee"), and 8x8, Inc. ("8x8" or the "Company"), and sets forth the terms and conditions of your transition from full-time to part-time employment and your subsequent separation from the Company. The Company acknowledges and appreciates your significant contributions as Chief Accounting Officer. You have notified the Company of your intention to resign, and both parties wish to ensure a smooth and orderly transition of your duties. This Agreement reflects the mutual understanding reached between you and the Company regarding the terms of your transition and separation. 1. Employment Transition. (a) Full-Time Employment. Your last day of full-time employment with 8x8 will be Friday, April 24, 2026. Through that date, you will continue to perform your duties as Chief Accounting Officer and will cooperate fully in transitioning your responsibilities to your successor or other designees as directed by the Company. (b) Part-Time Employment. Effective Saturday, April 25, 2026, you will transition to part-time, hourly employment with the Company. Your part-time employment will continue through Tuesday, June 16, 2026 (the "Separation Date"). During the part-time period, you will provide transition assistance, answer questions, and support the Company's accounting and finance functions as reasonably requested. Your hours and schedule during the part-time period will be determined by mutual agreement between you and the Company. (c) Part-Time Compensation. During the part-time period, you will be compensated on an hourly basis at a rate calculated by dividing your current annual base salary by 2,080 hours (the "Hourly Rate"). You will be paid for actual hours worked, subject to the Company's standard payroll practices and applicable withholdings and deductions. As a non-exempt, hourly employee during the part-time period, you will be entitled to overtime pay in accordance with

------

![](a8x8_fy26xex1022xseandel002.jpg)

applicable California and federal law for any hours worked in excess of the applicable daily or weekly thresholds. (d) Benefits Continuation. You will continue to be eligible for your current Company-sponsored benefits through June 30, 2026, subject to the terms of the applicable benefit plans. Following the termination of your Company-sponsored benefits, you will be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage in accordance with applicable law. Information regarding COBRA enrollment will be provided to you separately. (e) Equity. To the extent you hold any unvested equity awards (including stock options, restricted stock units, or other equity-based awards) under any Company equity incentive plan, vesting will cease as of the Separation Date. Any vested but unexercised stock options must be exercised in accordance with the terms of the applicable equity plan and award agreements. The Company will provide you with a separate statement detailing your vested equity holdings. 2. Separation. Your employment with the Company will terminate effective as of the Separation Date. As of the Separation Date, you will no longer hold any title, office, or position with 8x8, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. You agree to execute any documents reasonably necessary to effectuate your resignation from all officer positions. 3. Consideration. In consideration for your execution of this Agreement and the Release set forth in Section 4 below, the Company agrees to provide you with the following: (a) Continued part-time employment and compensation through the Separation Date as described in Section 1 above; (b) Extended benefits coverage through June 30, 2026 as described in Section 1(d) above; and (c) Payment of any accrued but unused paid time off ("PTO") in accordance with Company policy and California law, payable on or before the Separation Date. You acknowledge that the consideration described above exceeds any compensation, benefits, or other amounts to which you would otherwise be entitled absent this Agreement, and constitutes good and valuable consideration for the promises and obligations set forth herein. 4. General Release of Claims. (a) In exchange for the consideration provided under this Agreement, you, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, hereby generally and completely release, acquit, and forever discharge the Company, its parent, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, and each of their respective current and former officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, attorneys, insurers, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Released

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insider Trading Policy GLD-004 Policy owner: Chief Legal Officer Version: 1.9 Policy status: Approved Revision Date: 4/23/2026 Policy Document Confidential 5 Exhibit A INSIDER TRADING AND CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY STATEMENT This policy statement sets forth procedures which all personnel of 8x8, Inc. (the "Company") at every level must follow arising from the Company's responsibilities as a public company. The failure to comply with these procedures could result in a serious violation of the securities laws by you and/or the Company. A. Prohibition Against Trading on Undisclosed Material Information -- "Insider Trading". Except as indicated in this policy statement, an insider should not buy or sell securities of the Company while in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company ("Inside Information"). An "insider" is a person who possesses, or has access to, material information concerning the Company that has not been fully disclosed to the public (see below for definition of "material information"). This policy also applies to immediate families (defined as direct family living in the same household) of such insiders and any other person or entity whose securities trading decisions are influenced or controlled by such insiders. This policy applies to transactions in the Company's common stock, preferred stock, bonds and other debt securities, options to purchase common stock, convertible debentures and warrants, as well as derivative securities whether or not issued by the Company, such as exchange-traded put or call options or swaps relating to the Company's securities. This policy also applies to event contracts, prediction market contracts, binary options, and digital assets or tokens, whether traded on a registered exchange, a designated contract market, or any other platform, to the extent such instruments relate to the Company, its securities, its business activities, or the securities or business activities of any Third Party (as defined herein) about which the individual possesses material nonpublic information obtained through their employment with, or performance of services on behalf of, the Company. Insider trading violations are not limited to trading by the insider alone; it is also illegal to share nonpublic material information with others who then use such

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insider Trading Policy GLD-004 Policy owner: Chief Legal Officer Version: 1.9 Policy status: Approved Revision Date: 4/23/2026 Policy Document Confidential 6 information to purchase or sell the Company's stock. Liability in such cases can extend to the "tipper" -- the insider who told someone nonpublic information -- and the "tippee" -- the person who purchased or sold shares based on this nonpublic information. Insiders may be subject to criminal prosecution and/or civil liability for trading (which includes both a purchase and sale) in the Company's stock when they know material information concerning the Company that has not been fully disclosed to the public. Criminal penalties for persons engaged in insider trading can reach $5 million per violation for individuals and a maximum jail sentence of 20 years. Civil actions may be brought by private plaintiffs or the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The SEC is now authorized to seek penalties in such actions of up to three times the profit made or losses avoided by the violator. In addition to the potential criminal and civil liabilities mentioned above, in certain circumstances, the Company may be able to recover all profits made by an insider from trades in the Company's stock and collect other damages. Insider trading can cause a substantial loss of confidence in the Company and its stock on the part of the investing public and the securities markets. This could obviously have an adverse impact on the Company, the Company's stock price and its stockholders. Employees of the Company who violate this policy statement shall also be subject to disciplinary action by the Company, which may include ineligibility for future participation in the Company's equity incentive plans or termination of employment. This policy statement and the guidelines described herein also apply to Inside Information relating to other companies, including the Company's customers, vendors, suppliers, competitors, strategic partners, joint venture counterparties, potential acquisition or merger targets, and any other company or entity (collectively, "Third Parties"), when that information is obtained in the course of employment with, or the performance of services on behalf of, the Company. This prohibition includes trading in the securities of any third-party company when such trading is based on material nonpublic information learned through your employment at the Company, even if the Company has no direct business relationship with the issuer of such securities. Civil and criminal penalties, and termination of employment, may result from trading on inside information regarding Third Parties. All officers, directors, employees, consultants and contractors should treat material nonpublic information about Third Parties with the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insider Trading Policy GLD-004 Policy owner: Chief Legal Officer Version: 1.9 Policy status: Approved Revision Date: 4/23/2026 Policy Document Confidential 7 same care required with respect to information related directly to the Company. B. Definition of Material Information. The U.S. Supreme Court has classified information as material if a reasonable investor would consider it important in making a decision to purchase, hold or sell a company's securities. In Regulation FD, the SEC has given some examples of events which may be material depending on the circumstances, including: □ revenues, expenses and other earnings information; □ new or cance led bookings ; □ execution or te rmina tion of materia l contracts ; □ mergers , acquis itions , tender offe rs , joint ventures , or changes in asse ts ; □ s ignificant cybersecurity incidents or risks ; □ pending or threa tened s ignificant litiga tion or government actions , or the resolution thereof; □ s ignificant new products or discoveries , or deve lopments regarding cus tomers or supplie rs ; and □ changes in control or in management. We emphasize that this list is merely illustrative of the type of information that may be material and is not an exhaustive list. By including this list, we do not mean to imply that each of these items is per se material. The information and events on this list still require determinations as to their materiality (although some determinations will be reached more easily than others). It is difficult to describe exhaustively what constitutes "material information," but you should assume that any information, positive or negative, which might be of significance to an investor in determining whether to purchase, sell or hold our stock would be material. Information may be significant for this purpose even if it would not alone determine the investor's decision. Nonpublic information is information that has not been widely disseminated to the public (for example, through an SEC filing, major newswire services, national news services and financial news services) and is otherwise not available to the general

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insider Trading Policy GLD-004 Policy owner: Chief Legal Officer Version: 1.9 Policy status: Approved Revision Date: 4/23/2026 Policy Document Confidential 8 public. Again, you may not trade at any time if you have knowledge of material information about the Company that has not been made widely available to the investing public. After any material information has been released, you should refrain from trading until sufficient time has passed to ensure that the information has been widely distributed to the investing public. In most cases, it is recommended that you refrain from trading for two full business days after release by the Company of the information. However, if circumstances warrant, it may be advisable to wait longer. If you have any question as to whether it is appropriate to trade in a given circumstance, contact the Company's Compliance Officer prior to trading. C. Inadvertent Disclosure. If Inside Information is inadvertently disclosed by any employee, officer or director to a person outside the Company who is not obligated to keep the information confidential, you should immediately report all the facts to the Compliance Officer so that the Company may take appropriate remedial action. Under SEC rules, the Company generally has only 24 hours after learning of an inadvertent disclosure of material nonpublic information to publicly disclose such information. D. Trading Guidelines. In order to ensure that all Company personnel comply with insider trading policies, the Company has established these insider trading guidelines. 1. Trading Windows. The risks and uncertainties inherent in insider trading are such that the Company has established "trading windows" when trading in the Company's securities is not generally prohibited. Please note that "trading" includes not only transactions on the Company's common stock in the open market or pursuant to equity incentive and other plans but so-called "derivatives transactions," as detailed below. Any such transactions should be made with extreme caution and with recognition of the legal prohibitions against the use by corporate insiders of Inside Information for their own use: (i) Black-out Periods. The Company has determined that directors, executive officers, their respective affiliates and other individuals designated by the Company from time to time will not be permitted to trade in the Company's securities between the 16th day of the third calendar month of each quarter and the close of market on the second trading day following the date of public disclosure of the financial results for that quarter (the "Insider Black-out Period"). (ii) Limited Trading Periods. From time to time Inside Information regarding the Company may be pending. While such information is pending, the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insider Trading Policy GLD-004 Policy owner: Chief Legal Officer Version: 1.9 Policy status: Approved Revision Date: 4/23/2026 Policy Document Confidential 9 Company may impose a special "black-out" period during which the same prohibitions and recommendations shall apply. Therefore, you may not trade, without prior permission from the Compliance Officer, during any period that the Company has designated as a "limited trading period," whether or not you possess any material inside information about the Company (such a period might be imposed, for example, during a public offering of the Company's securities). Any person made aware of the existence of a special "black-out" period should not disclose the existence of the blackout to any other person. (iii) Trading Windows. Subject to the general restrictions on insider trading under this Policy, as noted below, directors, officers or other designated individuals subject to the Insider Black-out Periods may only trade during the period commencing on the third business day following release to the public of financial results for that previous quarter or fiscal year until the 15th day of the third calendar month of the current quarter. Caution must still be exercised, however. Trading in the Company's securities during the trading windows should not be considered a "safe harbor," and all directors, officers and employees should use good judgment at all times. While the exact timing will vary from year to year, quarterly earnings releases will usually be issued to the public three or four weeks after the end of each quarter, and annual results will be published approximately four to eight weeks after our March 31 fiscal year end. Check with the Compliance Officer for the exact timing of dissemination of such information. (iv) Mandatory Pre-clearance of Trades. The Company has determined that all directors and employees who are at the level of Vice President or above who are subject to the Insider Black-out Period ("Designated Insiders") must not trade in the Company's securities, even during the trading windows, without first complying with the Company's mandatory "pre-clearance" process. The Compliance Officer maintains a current list of every Designated Insider who, along with his or her family members and affiliates, is subject to the Insider Black- out Period and the mandatory pre-clearance of securities trades procedures. The Compliance Officer is responsible for notifying everybody on this list that he or she is subject to these restrictions. If you have any doubt as to whether these special restrictions apply to you, you should contact the Compliance Officer. All Designated Insiders should follow the trading pre-clearance procedures communicated to them by the Company. Any questions regarding the process for

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insider Trading Policy GLD-004 Policy owner: Chief Legal Officer Version: 1.9 Policy status: Approved Revision Date: 4/23/2026 Policy Document Confidential 10 pre-clearing trades should be directed to the Company's Compliance Officer prior to commencing any trade in the Company's securities. The Compliance Officer will consult as necessary with senior management of and/or counsel to the Company before clearing any proposed trade. Pre-clearance approval is only valid in writing for up to five (5) business days after the date it is given, subject to the other restrictions contained in this policy. Pre-clearance approval is not required for any transaction made pursuant to a pre-approved, pre-planned trading program implemented in accordance with this policy nor is pre-clearance approval required of individuals who are subject to the Insider Black-out Periods but are not otherwise Designated Insiders. If a request for pre-clearance is denied, the fact of such denial must be kept confidential by the person requesting such pre-clearance. 2. "Derivatives Transactions" -- Additional Trading Restrictions. The Company considers it improper and inappropriate for any director, officer or other employee of the Company to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in the Company's securities. Therefore, it is the Company's policy that directors, officers and other employees may not engage in any of the following transactions: (i) Short Sales. Short sales of the Company's securities evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value and therefore signal to the market that the seller has no confidence in the Company or its short-term prospects. Moreover, short sales may reduce the seller's incentive to improve the Company's performance. For these reasons, short sales of the Company's securities are prohibited. In addition, Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act generally prohibits officers and directors from engaging in short sales of securities that they do not already own. (ii) Publicly Traded Options. A transaction in options is, in effect, a bet on the short-term movement of the Company's stock and therefore can create the appearance that the director or employee is trading based on inside information. Transactions in options also may focus the director's or employee's attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company's long-term objectives. Accordingly, transactions in puts, calls or other derivative securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market, are prohibited. (Option positions arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the section below captioned "Hedging Transactions.")

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insider Trading Policy GLD-004 Policy owner: Chief Legal Officer Version: 1.9 Policy status: Approved Revision Date: 4/23/2026 Policy Document Confidential 11 (iii) Hedging Transactions. Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, allow an employee to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the director or employee to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the director or employee may no longer have the same objectives as the Company's other stockholders. Therefore, directors and employees are prohibited from engaging in any such transactions. (iv) Margin Accounts and Pledges. Securities held in a margin account may be sold by the broker without the customer's consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call. Similarly, securities pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan may be sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on the loan. Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is aware of Inside Information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company securities, directors, officers and other employees are prohibited from holding Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan. An exception to this prohibition may be granted where a person wishes to pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan (not including margin debt) and clearly demonstrates the financial capacity to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities. Any person who wishes to pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan must submit a request for approval to the Compliance Officer at least two weeks prior to the proposed execution of documents evidencing the proposed pledge. (v) Prediction Markets and Event Contracts. Directors, officers and other employees are prohibited from purchasing, selling, or otherwise transacting in event contracts, prediction market contracts, binary options, or any similar instruments on any platform when such transaction is based on, or informed by, material nonpublic information obtained through employment with, or the performance of services on behalf of, the Company. This prohibition applies whether the event contract relates to the Company, any Third Party (as defined herein), or any other subject matter about which the individual possesses material nonpublic information by reason of their relationship with the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, this prohibition extends to prediction market contracts that do not involve the Company's securities directly but that relate to events, transactions, product launches, regulatory actions, or other corporate

Employees remain free to participate in prediction markets on topics unrelated to the Company's business or about which they have no confidential information obtained through their employment. 3. Exceptions. (i) Stock Option Exercise. For purposes of this policy statement the Company considers the exercise of stock options under the Company's stock option plan to be exempt from this policy statement, since the other party to the transaction is the Company itself and the price does not vary with the market but is fixed by the terms of the option agreement or the plan. This policy statement does apply, however, to the sale of any shares issued upon such exercise or purchase, including to fund the option exercise price (i.e., a cashless exercise of options) or related taxes. (ii) Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The Company has determined that this policy statement will not apply to purchases of Company stock through the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) by means of a periodic contribution or lump-sum contribution of money to the plan pursuant to an election made at the time of enrollment in the ESPP. For clarity, this policy does apply to sales of ESPP shares. (iii) Trading Pursuant to Approved Pre-Planned Trading Plans. A transaction made pursuant to a plan in compliance with SEC Rule 10b5-1(c) provides an affirmative defense to insider trading liability by providing that a purchase or sale of securities pursuant to such plan is not "on the basis of" Inside Information even where the individual or entity making the purchase or sale is demonstrated to have possessed such information at the time of the purchase or sale. Notwithstanding any other guidelines contained herein, it shall not be a violation of this Insider Trading Policy, including the Company's pre-clearance and blackout restrictions, for you to sell (or purchase) securities of the Company under certain pre-planned trading programs adopted to purchase or sell securities in the future which are in compliance with SEC Rule 10b5-1 and are established in accordance with this Policy, including the limitations identified in this section D.3.(iii) (an "Approved Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan"). However, you may not enter into a trading program, modify or terminate a trading program during

Furthermore, the Company shall apply the following policies with respect to pre- planned trading programs: • Individuals may not have more than one (1) pre-planned trading program effective at any time (For purposes of clarification, employees may have more than one trading plan (which together constitute one trading program) when such plans are exclusively managed within the Company's automated E\*Trade 10b5-1 trading platform which prevents the same shares from being included in more than one plan). Additionally, individuals may enter into one later-commencing plan so that the cooling off period of the later plan can begin to run while an existing plan is in place, provided that the individual does not early terminate the first plan, in which case a full waiting period from the time of such termination must occur. Individuals may also have an additional plan providing only for eligible Sell-to-Cover (as defined below), where the plan provides for sales of securities as are necessary to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising exclusively from the vesting of a compensatory stock award; • Individuals may not transact in the Company's securities outside of a pre- planned trading program during any period of time in which such individual has a pre-planned trading program effective; • Individuals may not have more than one (1) pre-planned trading program in any 12-month period that is designed to effect a single transaction, and single transaction plans are generally discouraged; • A cooling off period shall apply during which time an individual may not trade in the Company's securities through a pre-planned trading program (a "cooling off period") after that individual enters into or modifies a pre- planned trading program. For Section 16 Individuals, such cooling off period ends on the later of (i) 90 days after the adoption of the program or (ii) two business days following the disclosure of the Company's financial results in a Form 10-Q or Form 10-K for the completed fiscal quarter in which the program was adopted that discloses the Company's financial

For all other individuals, the cooling off period must be at least 30 days from adoption of the program.. While the Company does not restrict the number of changes that you can make to a pre-planned trading program, frequent amendments during the term of a pre-planned trading program may weaken the affirmative defense to insider trading liability. The Compliance Officer must approve all pre-planned trading programs in advance (including amendments thereto), in writing. In addition, the Compliance Officer will need to ensure that the individual who wishes to establish or modify the trading program does not possess any Inside Information about the Company and is acting in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade applicable prohibitions. Also, the Company may be aware of Inside Information (that the individual is unaware of) that may make it imprudent for the Compliance Officer to approve the trading program at that time. Each Section 16 Individual understands that the approval or adoption of a pre- planned selling program in no way reduces or eliminates such person's obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including such person's disclosure and short-swing trading liabilities. If any questions arise, such a person should consult with their own counsel in designing a trading program. In addition, each Section 16 Individual should be aware that the Company will be required to make quarterly disclosures regarding all Approved Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans entered into, amended or terminated by Section 16 Individuals and to include the material terms of such plans, other than pricing information. Each individual adopting the trading plan is solely responsible for compliance with Rule 10b5-1 and ensuring that the trading plan meets the other conditions set forth above. The Company may, in the sole discretion of the Compliance Officer, upon the advice of counsel, determine that any proposed Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is inconsistent with the Company's policies and is not an Approved Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan that is exempt from the Trading Window and pre- clearance requirements set forth above. The Company strongly recommends that a person seeking to adopt a trading plan consult an attorney prior to the adoption of a trading plan.

It is the policy of the Company that unless otherwise set forth in the next paragraph or restricted pursuant to the terms of the plan or award under which stock options, stock purchase rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units (the "Grants") have been granted (and subject to the further exception below applicable only to equity plan participants that are Section 16 Individuals), the Company only permits, unless otherwise approved by the Company, the Company's transfer agent (together with any other party the Company determines necessary to execute the transactions described herein, the "Agent") to sell on the open market that number of whole shares of Company common stock (the "Shares") issuable upon vesting of the Grants necessary to satisfy the all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld (the "Withholding Obligations") and remit to the Company the proceeds of such sale in satisfaction of the Withholding Obligations ("Sell to Cover") at the time of vesting. • Cancellation of Shares in Settlement of Withholding Tax Obligations. However, in recognition of the additional restrictions and reporting obligations imposed on equity plan participants who are Section 16 Individuals, it is the policy of the Company that the default method for Section 16 Individuals to satisfy their Withholding Obligations by withholding that whole number of Shares that would otherwise be issuable to such Section 16 Individual upon vesting of the Grants necessary to satisfy their Withholding Obligations ("Net Share Settle"). In the event, however, the aggregate fair market value of all of the Shares withheld pursuant to Net Share Settle in any given fiscal year exceeds an amount that may be approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board from time to time, then any subsequent Withholding Obligations shall be satisfied by Sell to Cover at the time of vesting for the remainder of such fiscal year, so long as such sales of Shares do not result in any short-swing liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the Section 16 Individual. • Transactions Exempt from Insider Black-Out Period. The satisfaction of such Withholding Obligations by either Sell-to-Cover (which is the Company's default method) or, at the election of such Section 16 Individual, to Net

(v) Certain Transactions with the Company. Because transactions with the Company are within its discretion and ability to monitor compliance with insider trading rules, in general, acquisitions of the Company's securities from the Company, and dispositions of the Company's securities to the Company, are excepted from this policy. This exception is limited to transactions that could be exempt under SEC Rule 16b-3(d) and (e) if the transaction had involved a Section 16 Individual, without regard to the board of directors and shareholder approval requirements of the rule. This exception will not prevent the Company from determining in any situation that it will not allow a transaction involving an acquisition of securities from, or disposition of securities to, the Company. 4. Gift of Securities. Gifts of securities may include gifts to trusts for estate planning purposes, as well as donations to a charitable organization. Whether a gift of securities is a transaction that should be avoided while the person making the gift is aware of Inside Information may depend on various circumstances surrounding the gift. For example, a gift may be considered a transaction if the insider receives a monetary benefit such as a tax deduction by donating shares to a charity before the stock price drops. Accordingly, you are encouraged to consult the Chief Legal Officer when contemplating a gift, and Designated Insiders are required to obtain pre-clearance of the gift. E. Confidentiality. Serious problems could be caused for the Company by unauthorized disclosure of internal information about the Company or Third Parties, whether or not for the purpose of facilitating trading in the stock. Company personnel should not discuss internal Company matters or developments with anyone outside of the Company, except as required in the performance of regular corporate duties. If you are aware of material information relating to the Company or Third Parties that has not been made available to the public via a press release or other public disclosure for at least two full days, you are prohibited by law as well as by Company policy from trading in the Company's stock or directly or indirectly disclosing such information to any other persons so that they may trade in the Company's stock (see above).

This prohibition applies specifically (but not exclusively) to inquiries about the Company that may be made by the financial press, investment analysts or others in the financial community. This includes, among other things, questions on any of the following matters: □ overall business trends □ subscriptions and cance lla tions □ pricing □ cos ts □ cus tomer da ta □ new products or technology. It is important that all such communications on behalf of the Company be through an appropriately designated officer under carefully controlled circumstances. If you receive any inquiries of this nature, please decline to comment and refer the matter to the Company's Chief Financial Officer. It is worth emphasizing that this prohibition applies to any disclosure of Company and third-party confidential information on the Internet and more specifically in chat rooms and other forums where companies and their prospects are discussed, such as social media platforms, online forums, messaging applications, expert network sites, and similar channels. Although there are often inaccuracies in the information posted in these forums, you should never respond to any posts as you may inadvertently disclose Inside Information or otherwise create significant legal and financial risk to the Company. Any unauthorized posts on the internet concerning the Company are therefore strictly prohibited, without exception. F. Additional Information for Section 16 Individuals. Section 16 Individuals must also comply with the reporting obligations and limitations on "short-swing" transactions set forth in the federal securities laws. The practical effect of these provisions is that Section 16 Individuals who both purchase and sell the Company's securities within a six-month period must refund all profits from the sale to the Company, whether or not

Under these provisions, and so long as the other criteria are met, the receipt of options and RSUs under the Company's equity incentive plans, the receipt of shares upon exercise of those options or vesting of those RSUs, and the purchase of shares through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan are not subject to these restrictions; however, the sale of any such shares is subject to this 6-month rule. G. Conclusion. In order to ensure that all Company personnel comply with insider trading policies, the Company has established the formal insider trading guidelines set forth in this policy statement. If you have any questions as to whether it would be appropriate for you to purchase or sell stock of the Company, or if you are uncertain as to any of your responsibilities or obligations under the above guidelines, you should immediately consult with the Compliance Officer for clarification prior to buying or selling any stock or making any statement. Attempting to resolve uncertainties on your own could result in serious legal and financial difficulties for you and for the Company. Failure to observe these guidelines may result in serious consequences, including the termination of your employment with the Company. H. Code of Conduct Cross-Reference. The obligations set forth in this policy statement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligations set forth in the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code of Conduct"). The Code of Conduct prohibits the use of Company confidential information for personal financial gain in any form, including through prediction markets and event contract platforms. A violation of this Insider Trading Policy shall also constitute a violation of the Code of Conduct. Employees should consult both this policy and the Code of Conduct to understand the full scope of their obligations regarding the protection and use of confidential information. I. Certification. All employees must certify their understanding of, and intent to comply with, this policy statement and acknowledge that a failure to comply in all respects with the provisions of this policy statement is a basis for termination for cause of their employment or other service relationship with the Company.
