*Departure of Directors* 

On January 27, 2023, Salesforce, Inc. (the "Company") announced that Alan Hassenfeld and Sanford Robertson each informed the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") of his decision not to stand for reelection as a director and to retire from the Board, effective as of the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

*Appointment of New Directors* 

On January 27, 2023, the Board appointed Arnold Donald, Sachin Mehra and Mason Morfit as directors of the Company, effective as of March 1, 2023.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Donald, Mr. Mehra or Mr. Morfit (other than as set forth below) and any other persons pursuant to which they were selected as directors, and none of them have any family relationships with any of the Company's directors or executive officers. None of Mr. Donald, Mr. Mehra or Mr. Morfit have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Each of Mr. Donald, Mr. Mehra and Mr. Morfit will receive standard compensation and equity awards in accordance with the Company's compensation program for non-employee directors (as such program may be adjusted by the Board from time to time). The Company's current compensation program for non-employee directors is described in the "Compensation of Directors" section of the Company's definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2022. The Company also intends to enter into its standard form of indemnification agreement with each of Mr. Donald, Mr. Mehra and Mr. Morfit.

Mr. Morfit was appointed to the Board pursuant to a Nomination and Cooperation Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated January 27, 2023, by and between the Company and ValueAct Capital Management L.P. ("ValueAct"). The Agreement includes various terms, conditions and provisions, including that the Company will include Mr. Morfit in the Board's recommended director slate of candidates to stand for election at the 2023 annual stockholders meeting. Under the Agreement, ValueAct is subject to various restrictions, including, among other things, limitations on proposing or engaging in certain extraordinary transactions and other matters involving the Company, prohibitions on ValueAct acquiring more than 3.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, engaging in proxy solicitations and other stockholder-related matters and proposals, forming groups with other investors, and engaging in short sales of Company shares. ValueAct has agreed to vote its shares as set forth in the Agreement, including with respect to board elections. The provisions of the Agreement described above generally apply until the later of (i) one month after Mr. Morfit ceases to serve on the Board or (ii) 60 days before the non-proxy access stockholder director nomination deadline for the Company's 2024 annual stockholders meeting. The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

<u>EXECUTION VERSION</u> 

<u>NOMINATION AND COOPERATION AGREEMENT</u> 

This Nomination and Cooperation Agreement (the "<u>Agreement</u>"), dated January 27, 2023 (the "<u>Effective Date</u>"), is by and between Salesforce, Inc. (the "<u>Company</u>") and ValueAct Capital Management L.P. on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, the funds it advises and the persons and entities listed on <u>Schedule A</u> (collectively, "<u>ValueAct</u>," and, individually, a "<u>member</u>" of ValueAct, and, together with the Company, the "<u>Parties</u>," and, each, a "<u>Party</u>").

WHEREAS, ValueAct currently beneficially owns 3,486,309 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the "<u>Common Stock</u>"); and

WHEREAS, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the "<u>NomGov Committee</u>") and the Company's Board of Directors (the "<u>Board</u>") have considered the qualifications of Mr. G. Mason Morfit ("<u>Morfit</u>") and conducted such interviews and other reviews, information requests and assessments as they have deemed appropriate.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Board Nomination.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company will take the necessary action to add Morfit to the Board, with such appointment to take effect on March 1, 2023), by increasing the size of the Board and filling the vacancy thereby created with Morfit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company agrees to include Morfit in its slate of nominees for election as directors of the Company at the Company's 2023 annual meeting of stockholders and, in connection therewith, the Company shall list Morfit in the proxy statement and proxy card prepared, filed and delivered in connection with such meeting and recommend that the Company's stockholders vote in favor of the election of Morfit and otherwise support Morfit in a manner no less rigorous and favorable in the aggregate than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees (collectively, "<u>Election Efforts</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) As a condition to Morfit's appointment to the Board and nomination for election as a director of the Company at the Company's 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, ValueAct shall, and shall cause Morfit to, provide to the Company information required to be or customarily disclosed for directors, candidates for directors, and their affiliates and representatives in a proxy statement or other filings under applicable law or stock exchange rules or listing standards, and information in connection with assessing eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors or satisfying compliance and legal obligations, and such other information reasonably requested by the Company from time to time, which other information shall be consistent with that requested by the Company from its other nominees in order to be deemed reasonably requested.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) ValueAct agrees that at all times while Morfit is serving as a member of the Board he will (i) meet all director independence and other standards of the Company, of applicable stock exchange listing standards, and of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("<u>SEC</u>"), and applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Rule 10a-3; and (ii) be qualified to serve as a director under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "<u>DGCL</u>"). ValueAct shall, and shall cause Morfit to, promptly advise the NomGov Committee if Morfit ceases to satisfy any of the conditions in the preceding sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) At all times while Morfit serves as a member of the Board, ValueAct shall cause Morfit to comply with all policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to Board members, including the Company's codes of ethics and conduct, securities trading policy, conflict of interest policies, and corporate governance guidelines (the "<u>Company Policies</u>") and preserve the confidentiality of Company business, deliberations and information, including materials, discussions or matters considered in connection with meetings of the Board or Board committees subject to the terms hereof. The Company represents and warrants that the applicable Company Policies currently in effect are publicly available on the Company's website or have been provided to Morfit or its counsel (other than such business and compliance policies that are applicable to all directors equally).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Company's obligations hereunder shall terminate, and Morfit shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days) offer to resign from the Board (and, if requested by the Company, promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days) deliver his written resignation to the Board (which shall provide for his immediate resignation if such resignation is accepted by the Board), with it being understood that it shall be in the Board's sole discretion whether to accept or reject such resignation) if (i) ValueAct ceases to beneficially own at least 700,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock splits, reclassifications, combinations, stock dividends or similar actions by the Company); or (ii) there has been a judicial determination that ValueAct has materially breached any of the terms of this Agreement (including by materially breaching or ceasing to satisfy the conditions set forth in clauses 1(c), 1(d) or 1(e) above or the conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement) and has failed to cure any such breach (if curable) within twenty (20) days of receipt of written notice from the Company of such determination (each, a "<u>Triggering Event</u>"). ValueAct agrees to cause Morfit to resign from the Board if Morfit fails to resign if and when requested pursuant to this clause (f), represents and warrants that it has the power to cause such resignation and that Morfit has agreed to resign (and that he would not be entitled to continued board service) in such circumstances and further agrees that the Board may treat Morfit as not validly on the Board in the event a Triggering Event has occurred, including where Morfit fails to resign or ValueAct fails to cause his resignation in accordance with this clause 1(f). ValueAct shall apprise the Company promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days) upon the occurrence of a known Triggering Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Without limiting the applicability of clause (e) above or the Company's application of such items to Morfit, during the Covered Period while Morfit is a member of the Board, (1) the Company will not alter its Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "<u>Charter</u>"), Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "<u>Bylaws</u>"), or the Company Policies, in each case for the purpose of disqualifying Morfit from remaining on the Board by making him ineligible under this Agreement, the Charter, the Bylaws or the Company Policies for such service, (2) the Board will not utilize committees of the Board for the purpose of discriminating against Morfit (<u>provided</u> that, for the avoidance of doubt, handling of conflicts of interest, recusals and other such items in accordance with policies and practices generally applicable to other Company directors or other

------

actions in accordance with applicable law and regulation would not be deemed in violation hereof), and (3) Morfit will, while a member of the Board, have access to Board committee materials and shall be entitled to notice of, and to attend and participate in, Board committee meetings to the same extent as the other members of the Board (it being understood that the Board remains free to determine committee membership as it sees fit).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Standstill.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject for the avoidance of doubt to Section 2(c) hereof (which makes clear that these provisions would not apply to Morfit's own private deliberations and discussions with the Board and management in his capacity as a director of the Company), ValueAct agrees that, during the Covered Period (as defined below), unless specifically requested in writing by the Company, acting through a resolution of a majority of the Company's directors not including Morfit, it shall not, and shall cause each of its controlling and controlled Affiliates or Associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act) (including for the avoidance of doubt any of its directors, officers, partners (other than limited partners) and personnel) (collectively and individually, the "<u>ValueAct Affiliates</u>"; <u>provided</u> that no portfolio company of ValueAct shall be deemed a "ValueAct Affiliate" so long as such portfolio company (i) has not discussed the Company or its business with ValueAct or Morfit, (ii) has not received from ValueAct or Morfit information concerning the Company or its business, and (iii) is not acting at the request of, in coordination with or on behalf of or at the direction of any member of ValueAct), not to, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, through its advisors, agents, representatives or third parties), in any manner, alone or in concert with others:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) make any public proposal or request that constitutes: (A) controlling or changing the Board or management of the Company, including any proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any vacancies on the Board, (B) any change in the capitalization or dividend policy of the Company, (C) any other change in the Company's management, business or corporate structure, (D) seeking to have the Company waive or make amendments or modifications to the Charter or Bylaws, or other actions that may impede or facilitate the acquisition of control of the Company by any person, (E) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from, or to cease to be authorized to be quoted on, any securities exchange, or (F) causing a class of equity securities of the Company to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) initiate any discussions with or enter into any negotiations, agreements or understandings with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing, or advise, assist, knowingly encourage or seek to persuade any third party to take any action or make any statement with respect to any of the foregoing, or otherwise take or cause any action or make any statement inconsistent with any of the foregoing (it being understood that Morfit may hear from Company stockholders and engage with same like other directors generally in accordance with this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, Company Policies and policies and practices generally applicable to Company directors); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) request, directly or indirectly, any amendment or waiver of the foregoing other than through private, non-public requests that are not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, require any public disclosure.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 2(a) shall not be deemed to prohibit ValueAct from privately communicating and discussing matters with the Company's executive management team or Board of Directors in a manner not intended to, and not reasonably expected to result or require, public disclosure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) During the Covered Period, ValueAct shall (i) cause all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it, or by any of ValueAct's Affiliates, to be present for quorum purposes and to be voted, at the Company's Annual and Special Stockholder Meetings and at any adjournments or postponements thereof, and (ii) vote in favor of all directors nominated by the Board for election at any such meeting (including Morfit) and against any directors not nominated and recommended for election by the Board, and in accordance with the Board's recommendation with respect to proposals that may be the subject of stockholder action at such meeting (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any company-sponsored proposals (e.g., auditor ratification, advisory vote on executive compensation, approval of equity plans, etc) or stockholder proposals); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that with respect to a proposal put to a vote of the stockholders to approve an Extraordinary Transaction, ValueAct and ValueAct's Affiliates may vote their shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, in the discretion of ValueAct or ValueAct's Affiliate, as applicable.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall limit deliberations that may be had by Morfit with the Board acting solely as a director of the Company consistent with his fiduciary duties as a director of the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement the terms "<u>person</u>" or "<u>persons</u>" shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability or unlimited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization or other entity of any kind or nature.
