Beginning in fiscal year 2028, Mr. DiLullo's annual bonus will be based solely on achievement of applicable performance metrics. In addition, Mr. DiLullo will be eligible to receive one-time equity awards with an aggregate target value of $19,000,000, consisting of the following: (a) a restricted stock unit award with a target value of $7,000,000, to be granted on or around Mr. DiLullo's employment start date and subject to time-based vesting over four years; (b) a performance restricted stock award with a target value of $7,000,000, to be granted on or around Mr. DiLullo's employment start date and which is eligible to be earned based on applicable annual performance metrics over a period of three years, including, for the first year of such award, the Company's relative total shareholder return (the "***PSU Grant***"); and (c) two restricted stock unit awards structured to incentivize sustained increase in the Company's stock price, each with a target value of $2,500,000, which will be awarded only upon the Company's achievement of specified stock-price thresholds, to be granted as soon as practicable following the period in which the Company's average stock price, computed over the prior 60-day trading period, reaches $10.00 or $13.00, respectively, subject to time-based vesting over four years following the applicable grant date, and which awards are eligible to be granted only if the applicable stock price threshold is achieved prior to the third anniversary or the fifth anniversary of the grant date, respectively (the "***Market-Based RSU Grants***").

------

If Mr. DiLullo's employment is terminated without cause or for good reason (other than within three months before or 24 months following a change in control), he would be eligible for (i) a lump sum cash severance amount equal to the product of 1.0 multiplied by the sum of his annual base salary and target annual bonus opportunity, (ii) accelerated vesting of his then outstanding time-based equity awards with respect to that number of shares equal to 50% of the number of shares originally subject to such equity awards (with performance-based equity awards treated in accordance with the applicable award agreements), (iii) a prorated amount of his target annual bonus opportunity from the beginning of the Company's fiscal year until the date of termination, payable in a lump sum, and (iv) subsidized continuation of the health plan benefits for Mr. DiLullo and his eligible dependents for up to 12 months following the date of termination.

If Mr. DiLullo's employment is terminated without cause or for good reason within three months before or 24 months following a change in control, he would be eligible for (i) a lump sum cash severance amount equal to the product of 1.5 multiplied by the sum of his annual base salary and target annual bonus opportunity, (ii) full accelerated vesting and exercisability, as applicable, of 100% of his then outstanding time-based equity awards, (iii) a lump sum cash payment in respect of the applicable portions of his PSU Grant for which the performance criteria have not previously been determined, determined based on target levels, (iv) a lump sum cash payment in respect of his Market-Based RSU Grants, determined based on target levels, payable only if the price per share of Company common stock in such change in control transaction equals or exceeds the relevant threshold price ($10.00 or $13.00), and the change in control transaction occurs before such Market-Based RSU Grants would have otherwise been forfeited, (v) a prorated amount of his target annual bonus opportunity from the beginning of the Company's fiscal year until the date of termination, payable in a lump sum, and (vi) subsidized continuation of the health plan benefits for Mr. DiLullo and his eligible dependents for up to 18 months following the date of termination.

The foregoing severance benefits are subject to Mr. DiLullo's execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company. If a payment to Mr. DiLullo (whether under the Offer Letter or otherwise) would be subject to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, such payment would be reduced to the extent he would be better off on an after-tax basis.

The Company and Mr. DiLullo entered into a separate letter agreement in respect of Mr. DiLullo's appointment as CEO providing for a sign-on bonus of $300,000 (the "***Sign-On Bonus Letter***"), subject to repayment by Mr. DiLullo as to a prorated portion in the event Mr. DiLullo's employment is terminated for cause or without good reason prior to the 12-month anniversary of his start date.

#### PagerDuty Appoints John DiLullo as Chief Executive Officer

*Jennifer Tejada Transitions to Executive Chair of Board of Directors After Serving as CEO Since 2016*

*John DiLullo Brings Deep Enterprise, Product and Go-to-Market Leadership Experience*

*to Lead Next Phase of Growth*

*Company Reaffirms First Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2027 Guidance*

**SAN FRANCISCO – May 11, 2026 –** PagerDuty (NYSE: PD), the leader in AI-first operations management, today announced that John DiLullo has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective May 11, 2026. DiLullo succeeds Jennifer Tejada, who has served as CEO since 2016 and has transitioned to Executive Chair of the Board of Directors. DiLullo's appointment follows a thoughtful and deliberate succession planning process, led by Tejada and the Board. Tejada will work closely with DiLullo to support a seamless leadership transition and continued execution of the Company's long-term strategy.

DiLullo is a seasoned executive with more than 25 years of experience leading enterprise software, cloud and cybersecurity companies through periods of transformation and growth. He has a strong track record of driving operational discipline, scaling innovation, including AI-driven automation, and delivering profitable growth at critical inflection points. Most recently, he served as CEO of Deepwatch, where he led a comprehensive operational transformation and repositioned the business for sustainable growth. Previously, he served as CEO of the NASDAQ-listed LiveVox, and earlier Lastline, a venture-backed private company, leading both to successful outcomes.

Over nearly a decade of leadership, Tejada has overseen transformational growth including scaling PagerDuty more than tenfold, increasing revenue from under $50 million to nearly $500 million, and evolving PagerDuty from a startup into a profitable, global category leader in AI-first operations management. Today, the Company serves more than 35,000 customers and acts as essential infrastructure for more than half of the Fortune 500 and two-thirds of the Fortune 100. In her time as CEO and Chair of the Board, Tejada has played a vital role in shaping the industry, establishing PagerDuty as a category leader while bringing enterprise resilience and digital operations maturity to the C-suite and the boardroom. During her tenure, Tejada oversaw multiple major milestones, including the Company's IPO in 2019, international expansion across APAC, EMEA, Japan and the U.S. public sector, and the continued evolution of PagerDuty from a single cloud application to an enterprise-grade AI-first operations platform and leading ecosystem, establishing a strong foundation for long-term profitable growth.

"Leading PagerDuty over the past decade has been an extraordinary journey and the highlight of my career," said Tejada. "I've been fortunate to work alongside an incredibly talented, innovative and dedicated team. Together with our customers, including many of the world's most important and innovative companies, we've built a platform that's now essential to the world's mission-critical operations, establishing our global leadership position. With retention stabilizing, new customer and expansion business accelerating, continued operating margin expansion and momentum in our AI-first Operations Cloud platform, I am confident this is the right time for this transition, and that John is the right leader to guide PagerDuty through its next phase of growth. In my role as Executive Chair, I look forward to partnering with John, our leadership team and the Board to continue building on our strong momentum."

------

"I am honored to join PagerDuty at such an exciting time in the Company's journey," said DiLullo. "I have long admired PagerDuty's mission and critical role in digital operations as a customer and a partner and am excited by its growing strength in a world transformed by AI. I look forward to partnering closely with Jenn, the Board, the leadership team and our employees to further build on this momentum on a strong foundation, and lead the Company through its next phase of growth and innovation. We are entering a period where AI-enabled software development and increasingly complex digital environments will significantly expand the need for intelligent, real-time operations management. I believe PagerDuty sits at the center of this transformation and is exceptionally well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities ahead."

"On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Jenn for her outstanding vision, leadership and commitment to PagerDuty and our customers," said Zach Nelson, the Board's Presiding Director. "She has led the transformation of PagerDuty from a small, private startup into a definitive global category leader while playing a key role in shaping the evolution of the technology industry overall, building a brand and culture centered on customer success, innovation, collaboration and resilience that has earned PagerDuty global recognition. As we celebrate these accomplishments, we are confident this leadership transition positions PagerDuty for success in its next chapter. Following a rigorous and thoughtful succession process, the Board is delighted to welcome John as our CEO. He stood out as a high-energy, experienced leader with a unique combination of technical expertise and go-to-market leadership and is exceptionally well-positioned to lead PagerDuty forward. I've enjoyed working with Jenn in my role as Presiding Director and look forward to our continued collaboration as she transitions to Executive Chair."

#### Company Outlook

The Company also reaffirmed its outlook for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2027, previously provided on March 12, 2026. The Company expects first quarter total revenue of $118 million to $120 million, and full fiscal year total revenue of $488.5 million to $496.5 million. The Company expects Non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.23 - $0.25 for the first quarter (assuming approximately 83 million shares), and $1.23 - $1.28 for the full fiscal year (assuming approximately 81 million shares).
