**Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

On November 7, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") approved the following changes to the Company's Outside Director Compensation Policy, effective December 23, 2025 (as so updated, the "Policy"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The annual retainer fees payable to directors for Board and committee positions will be paid in equity of the Company (instead of
the current cash payments), provided that each individual director may instead elect, during the open window period prior to the date
of the annual meeting of stockholders, to receive his or her applicable annual retainer fees entirely in cash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Equity compensation will be paid in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and will be issued following the Company's
annual meeting of stockholders, valued at the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the time of the grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The amount awarded to each director will be calculated assuming that such director continues to serve in his or her Board and committee
positions for the entire year. The RSUs will vest in equal quarterly amounts, provided that, if a director does not retain the same Board
and committee positions for the year, the RSUs will vest and settle at the lower applicable amounts.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Policy. A copy of the Policy is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

## Exhibit 10.1

**Exhibit 10.1**

**Grid Dynamics Holdings, INC.**

**OUTSIDE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY**

***As updated effective December 23, 2025***

Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (the "**Company**") believes that providing compensation to members of its Board of Directors (the "**Board**," and members of the Board, the "**Directors**") represents an effective tool to attract, retain and reward Directors who are not employees of the Company (the "**Outside Directors**"). As further provided herein, this Outside Director Compensation Policy (as amended hereby, the "**Policy**") reflects the Board's determination to encourage Outside Directors to receive compensation in the form of equity as a means to best align the Directors' interests with those of the Company's stockholders.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Policy have the meaning given such term in the Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "**Plan**"), or if the Plan is no longer in use at the time of an equity award, the meaning given such term or any similar term in the equity plan then in place under which such equity award is granted. Each Outside Director will be solely responsible for any tax obligations incurred by such Outside Director as a result of the equity and cash payments such Outside Director receives under this Policy.

This Policy will be effective as of the first above date (such date, the "**Effective Date**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.**  **<u>Annual Compensation</u>** 

*Annual Retainer*

Each Outside Director will be paid an annual retainer of $40,000. There are no per-meeting attendance fees for attending Board meetings.

*Committee Annual Retainer*

As of the Effective Date, each Outside Director who serves as the Chairperson of the Board, the Lead Outside Director, or the Chair or a member of a committee of the Board will be eligible to earn additional annual fees as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Non-Executive Chairperson of the Board: | $20000 |
| Lead Outside Director: | $20000 |
| Chair of Audit Committee: | $20000 |
| Member of Audit Committee: | $15000 |
| Chair of Compensation Committee: | $15000 |
| Member of Compensation Committee: | $10000 |
| Chair of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: | $15000 |
| Member of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: | $10000 |

---

For clarity, each Outside Director who serves as the Chairperson of a committee will receive only the annual fee as the Chair of the committee and will not also receive the additional annual fee as a member of the committee.

*Form of Payment*

Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee or otherwise elected by an Outside Director in accordance with this Policy, such fees payable pursuant to this Section 1 shall be paid in in the form of Restricted Stock Units covering Shares that have a grant date Fair Market Value equal to such amount of annual compensation expected to be paid to such Outside Director assuming he or she continued to serve in his or her current capacities. Such Restricted Stock Units shall be granted effective as of each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders from and after the Effective Date (each, an "**Annual Meeting**"), with the number of Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Units determined based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on such grant date, and shall vest in four substantially equal quarterly installments subject to the Outside Director remaining on the Board and in his or her applicable Board and Board committee capacities through each vesting date, except as set forth below.

In lieu of receiving the annual compensation in the form of Restricted Stock Units, as provided above, an Outside Director may elect to receive such payments in cash by prior written notice to the Company. Any such election may only be made during an open window period under the Company's insider trading policy as in effect from time to time (i) with respect to the initial annual period commencing on the Effective Date, during the open window period prior to such Effective Date, (ii) with respect to subsequent annual periods, during the open window period prior to the subsequent Annual Meeting, and (iii) with respect to a new Outside Director who joins the Board other than as of an Annual Meeting date for the period until the next Annual Meeting, during the open window period immediately following such Outside Director's appointment or election to the Board. Such election, if any, shall remain in effect until such Outside Director revokes such election during the periods described above.

*Payment*

Each annual retainer under this Policy will vest or be paid, as applicable, quarterly in arrears on a prorated basis (including through the vesting of Restricted Stock Units, as provided above) to each Outside Director who has served in the relevant capacity at any point during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, the grant date of equity compensation paid pursuant to this Section 1 shall be as provided under "Form of Payment" above, provided that the grant date for the initial grant for any new Outside Director who joins the Board other than as of an Annual Meeting date shall be as of the date such person joins the Board. Any cash payment shall be made no later than 30 days following the end of such immediately preceding fiscal quarter.

For purposes of clarification, an Outside Director who has served as an Outside Director, as a member of an applicable committee (or chair thereof) during only a portion of the relevant Company fiscal quarter will receive a pro-rated payment of the quarterly payment of the applicable annual retainer(s), calculated based on the number of days during such fiscal quarter such Outside Director has served in the relevant capacities. For purposes of clarification, an Outside Director who has served as an Outside Director, as a member of an applicable committee (or chair thereof), as applicable, from the Effective Date through the end of the fiscal quarter containing the Effective Date (the "**Initial Period**") will receive a prorated payment of the quarterly payment of the applicable annual retainer(s), calculated based on the number of days during the Initial Period that such Outside Director has served in the relevant capacities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.**  **<u>Additional Equity Compensation</u>** 

Outside Directors will be eligible to receive all types of Awards (except Incentive Stock Options) under the Plan (or the applicable equity plan in place at the time of grant), including discretionary Awards not covered under this Policy. All grants of Awards to Outside Directors pursuant to Section 2 of this Policy will be automatic and nondiscretionary, except as otherwise provided herein, and will be made in accordance with the following provisions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>No Discretion</u>. No person will have any discretion to select which Outside Directors will be granted any Awards under this Policy or to determine the number of Shares to be covered by such Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Initial RSUs</u>. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director following the Effective Date will be granted Restricted Stock Units covering Shares that have a grant date Fair Market Value equal to $75,000 (the "**Initial RSUs**"). The Initial RSUs will be granted on the first trading date on or after the date on which such individual first becomes an Outside Director, whether through election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy. If an individual was a member of the Board and also an employee, becoming an Outside Director due to termination of employment will not entitle the Outside Director to the Initial RSUs. The Initial RSUs will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares subject to the Initial RSU on the 12-month anniversary of the date of grant, in each case subject to the Outside Director continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Annual RSUs</u>. On the date of each Annual Meeting, each Outside Director will be automatically granted Restricted Stock Units covering Shares that have a grant date Fair Market Value equal to $75,000 (the "**Annual RSUs**"). The Annual RSUs will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares subject to the Annual RSUs on the 12-month anniversary of the date of grant, in each case subject to the Outside Director continuing to be a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Chairperson RSUs</u>. At each Annual Meeting, each Outside Director who serves as the Chairperson of the Board or the Lead Outside Director will be automatically granted additional Restricted Stock Units covering Shares that have a grant date Fair Market Value equal to $30,000 (the "**Chairperson RSUs**"). The Chairperson RSUs will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares subject to the Chairperson RSUs on the 12-month anniversary of the date of grant, in each case subject to the Outside Director continuing to serve as a Chairperson of the Board or the Lead Outside Director (as applicable) through the applicable vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Committee Chairperson RSUs</u>. At each Annual Meeting, each Outside Director who serves as the Chairperson of a standing committee of the Board will be automatically granted additional Restricted Stock Units covering Shares that have a grant date Fair Market Value equal to $40,000 (the "**Committee Chairperson RSUs**") for each standing committee on which the Outside Director serves as the Chairperson. The Committee Chairperson RSUs will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the Committee Chairperson RSUs on the 12-month anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Outside Director continuing to serve as Chairperson of the respective committee(s) through the applicable vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Committee Member RSUs</u>. At each Annual Meeting, each Outside Director who serves as a member of a standing committee of the Board will be automatically granted additional Restricted Stock Units covering Shares that have a grant date Fair Market Value equal to $30,000 (the "**Committee Member RSUs**") for each standing committee on which the Outside Director is a member. The Committee Member RSUs will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares subject to the Committee Member RSUs on the 12-month anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Outside Director continuing to serve as a member of the respective committee(s) through the applicable vesting date.

For clarity, each Outside Director who serves as the Chairperson of a committee will receive only the Committee Chairperson RSUs and will not also receive additional Committee Member RSUs as a member of the committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.**  **<u>Change in Control</u>** 

In the event of a Change in Control, each Outside Director will fully vest in his or her outstanding Company equity awards, including any Initial RSUs, Annual RSUs, Chairperson RSUs, Committee Chairperson RSUs or Committee Member RSUs, and all restrictions on Restricted Stock Units will lapse provided that the Outside Director continues to be an Outside Director through such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.**  **<u>Annual Compensation Limit</u>** 

No Outside Director may be paid, issued or granted, in any Fiscal Year, cash compensation and equity awards (including any Awards issued under this Plan) with an aggregate value greater than $600,000 (with the value of each equity award based on its grant date fair value (determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles)). Any cash compensation paid or Awards granted to an individual for his or her services as an Employee, or for his or her services as a Consultant (other than as an Outside Director), will not count for purposes of the limitation under this Section 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.**  **<u>Travel Expenses</u>** 

Each Outside Director's reasonable, customary and documented travel expenses to Board meetings will be reimbursed by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.**  **<u>Additional Provisions</u>** 

All provisions of the Plan not inconsistent with this Policy will apply to Awards granted to Outside Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.**  **<u>Adjustments</u>** 

In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Policy, will adjust the number of Shares issuable pursuant to Awards granted under this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.**  **<u>Section 409A</u>** 

In no event will cash compensation or expense reimbursement payments under this Policy be paid after the later of (i) the 15th day of the 3rd month following the end of the Company's fiscal year in which the compensation is earned or expenses are incurred, as applicable, or (ii) the 15th day of the 3rd month following the end of the calendar year in which the compensation is earned or expenses are incurred, as applicable, in compliance with the "short-term deferral" exception under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the final regulations and guidance thereunder, as may be amended from time to time (together, "**Section 409A**"). It is the intent of this Policy that this Policy and all payments hereunder be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the compensation to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or comply. In no event will the Company reimburse an Outside Director for any taxes imposed or other costs incurred as a result of Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.**  **<u>Revisions</u>** 

The Board may amend, alter, suspend or terminate this Policy at any time and for any reason. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of this Policy will materially impair the rights of an Outside Director with respect to compensation that already has been paid or awarded, unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Outside Director and the Company. Termination of this Policy will not affect the Board's or the Compensation Committee's ability to exercise the powers granted to it under the Plan with respect to Awards granted under the Plan pursuant to this Policy prior to the date of such termination.
