 When

	 	b)	 the Exercise Price;

The Option Holder shall not be entitled to require any certificates or other particular evidence of an Option. 

All Options are granted and issued free of charge. 

An Option Holder may upon the grant of Option elect not to receive the Option by notifying the Board or any other person identified in the

Directors shall duly note the requirements of the Company’s shareholders’ agreement (Section 10) applicable also to the transfer of Options. 
  

	3	 Exercise 

An Option Holder may exercise an Option in accordance with its terms and conditions partially or in full. Any exercise shall be made in writing
to the CFO of the Company or any other person duly notified by the Company. Subject to any decision by the Directors, the exercise of an Option shall unless otherwise notified on a case by case basis require: 

 

	 	a)	 payment of the Exercise Price in full; and 

  
 3 

	 	b)	 signature of any other relevant documentation reasonably required by the Company; 

Adherence to the Company’s shareholders’ agreement as in force from time to time in a form and manner required by the Company shall
be an absolute condition for issuing or transferring Shares to an Option Holder upon exercise of an Option. 
 The exercise date of an Option
(“Exercise Date”) will be the later of: 
  

	 	a)	 the date of receipt of the duly signed documents and the payment referred to in the preceding paragraph; and

  

	 	b)	 the date on which the Directors decide that an Exercise Condition relating to the Option has been satisfied or
waived by the Company, as the case may be. The Directors must decide about the satisfaction or waiver of an Exercise Condition within 14 days of receiving the duly signed documents and the payment referred to in the preceding paragraph.

 If any statute, regulation or code adopted by the Company prohibits the exercise of Options, the Exercise Date will be
the date when the Option Holder is permitted to exercise an Option. However, this paragraph does not extend any period in which an Option is exercisable. 

In the event of a Change of Control, the Directors may, in their sole discretion, decide that such an event shall accelerate the vesting
periods of the outstanding Options partially or in full and subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as decided by the Directors. 

The Company will issue or transfer the Shares relating to a duly exercised Option as soon as practicable after the Option Exercise Date. 

New Shares issued on the exercise of an Option will have all rights attached to them as of their registration date. Existing Shares transferred
to an Option Holder will have said rights as of the date of transfer. 
 Any transfer or corresponding tax payable on the issue or transfer
of Shares to the Option Holder at exercise will be paid by the Company. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Directors may
in their sole discretion determine not to transfer or issue Shares upon exercise of an Option, but instead pay to the Option Holder in cash an amount equal to the market value of the Shares (or the Warrants, as the case may be) to be issued or
transferred based on the exercise of the Option on the Exercise Date reduced with the Exercise Price of said Option. If the Directors so determine, the Exercise Price shall not be payable, and if already paid, shall be repaid to the Option Holder
forthwith, in which cases the payment to the Option Holder shall be reduced with said amount. 
  

	4	 Termination of Relationship with the Company 

Unless specifically otherwise set out below in this Section 4, an Option Holder shall in the event of termination of employment or
contract, subject to any Exercise Conditions or decisions by the Directors and during a period of thirty (30) days from the last date of employment or the relevant contractual relationship, be entitled to exercise all Options vested by the last
date of employment (or other contract, as the case may be). 

  
 4 

 If an Option Holder ceases to be an employee of any Group Company for any of the reasons set
out below in this paragraph or ceases to have a contractual relationship with any Group Company for reasons (i) and (v) set out below (“Termination”), the Options held by said Option Holder will not lapse but may irrespective
of any Exercise Conditions during a period of six (6) months from last date of the employment (three (3) months in the case of options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options) or the contractual relationship (“Termination
Date”) be exercised to the extent vested by the Termination Date. The reasons are: 
  

	 	(i)	 ill-health, injury, disability and redundancy; 

 

	 	(ii)	 retirement; 

  

	 	(iii)	 early retirement by written agreement with the Option holder’s employer being a Member of the Group;

  

	 	(iv)	 his or her employing company ceasing to be under the control of the Company, or, as a result of a transfer of
the undertaking in which the Option holder works, transfer to a company which is neither under the control of the Company nor a Member of the Group; 

  

	 	(v)	 any other reason specified by the Directors in their absolute discretion. 

If an Option Holder despite termination of employment or contract with a Group Company continues to have any other employment or contractual
relationship with any Group Company, the two preceding paragraphs shall not be applied. 
 If an Option Holder dies, his or her Options may
irrespective of any Exercise Conditions during a period of twelve (12) months from last date of the employment or the contractual relationship be exercised by the deceased’s estate or heirs to the extent vested by the last date of the
employment or the contractual relationship, after which the Options shall become null and void. 
 Where the Option Holder is deprived of the
legal or beneficial ownership of an Option by operation of law, or due to any action or omission on behalf of the Option Holder, said Option shall automatically become null and void. 

Any person who ceases to be an employee of any Group Company because of cancellation or termination of employment (however caused) or who is
under notice of termination will in no circumstances be entitled to claim any compensation in respect of the Plan, including but not limited to the application of tax laws or the application of tax policies maintained by any Group Company. 

 

	5	 Amendments 

Subject to any resolutions of the Company’s shareholders relating to the Plan, the Directors are entitled to amend the Plan in their sole
discretion from time to time. 
 Option Holders affected by any amendments will be notified thereof without undue delay. 

 

	6	 Corporate Actions 

The Directors shall monitor all corporate actions of the Company with a possible material impact on the Options from time to time (such as a
share split, demerger, bonus issue, liquidation, dissolution etc.) and in its sole discretion decide on or recommend to the Company’s shareholders to decide on measures to amend the Plan and/or the Options correspondingly. 

  
 5 

 In making any alterations to outstanding grants, the Board shall take into consideration
that repriced Options may, depending on the facts and circumstances, be treated as newly issued Options, and the Board may, if it deems it advisable, seek advice concerning the effects of alterations upon compliance with Rule 701. 

 

	7	 Miscellaneous 

Any notice pursuant to the Plan may be delivered by post or email to the relevant address of an Option Holder according to the records of any
relevant Group Company or such other address, which the Company considers appropriate. Notices or other documents sent by post shall be deemed to be received five (5) days following the date of dispatch. Notices or other documents sent by email
shall be deemed to be received on the date of dispatch. 
 The decision of the Directors on the interpretation of the Rules or the Plan will
be final and conclusive. 
 Each Grantor will be responsible for a part of all costs relating to the Plan in proportion to the Options
granted by said Grantor. 
 The Company and any Subsidiary may establish and/or fund a trustee of a trust, a Special Purpose Vehicle
(“SPV”) or any other person to enable that trustee, SPV or person to acquire Shares to be held for the purposes of the Plan, or enter into any guarantee or indemnity for those purposes, to the extent permitted by local law. 

The Company or any Grantor may withhold any amount and make any such arrangements, including but not limited to the sale or reduction in number
of any Options or Shares on behalf of an Option holder, as it considers necessary to meet any liability to taxation or social security contributions so far as is possible under local law in respect of Options granted to the Option Holder pursuant to
this Plan. 
 In the event of any discrepancies between the Plan and the Company’s shareholders’ agreement as in force from time to
time, the provisions of the shareholders’ agreement shall prevail. Option Holders also holding Shares shall notice that the shareholders’ agreement contains provisions relating to the Options applicable only to holders of both Shares and
Options in the Company. 
  

	8	 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution 

This Plan and all matters arising out of or in connection with the Plan, including the contractual Options, shall except as this Plan otherwise
specifies be interpreted, construed and governed exclusively in accordance with the laws of Finland without reference to its choice of law rules. 

Should any provision of this Plan be in conflict with a mandatory provision of the Finnish Companies Act (624/2006, as amended) or any other
mandatory act, regulation or provision of Finnish law, such mandatory provision shall prevail and the relevant provision of this Plan shall be set aside or amended accordingly and shall not be binding on or incur any liability for the Company or any
Member of the Group. 
 In the event no settlement can be reached by means of negotiations, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of
or relating to the Plan, or the breach, termination or validity thereof shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Finnish Central Chamber of Commerce. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of one
arbitrator. The arbitration shall take place in Helsinki, Finland. The arbitration shall be conducted and the arbitration award shall be given in the English language.

MariaDB Corporation Ab Offer Letter 
 OFFER
LETTER 
 Dear Michael, 
 On behalf of MariaDB Corporation Ab, a
Finnish corporation (the “Company”), I am pleased to offer you the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company. You will be employed by the Company’s US subsidiary, MariaDB USA, Inc. and, should you accept this offer
(“Offer”), your employment shall be governed by the following terms and conditions. 
 1. Duties and Scope of Employment. 

(a) Position. The Company shall employ you in the position of Chief Executive Officer, reporting to the Board of Directors. You will perform the duties
and have the responsibilities and authority customarily performed and held by an employee in your position or as otherwise may be assigned or delegated to you by the Board of Directors. Your primary place of work will be the Company’s office in
the San Francisco Bay Area. The Company will provide you with equipment pursuant to the Company’s policies and procedures. 
 (b) Obligations to the
Company. During your Employment, you shall devote your full business efforts and time to the Company. During your Employment, without the prior written approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, you shall not
render services in any capacity to any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing restriction, you may serve on civic or charitable boards or committees, deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements, teach at educational institutions,
or manage personal investments without such advance written consent, provided that such activities do not individually or in the aggregate interfere with the performance of your duties. You shall also comply with the Company’s policies and
procedures, as they may be in effect from time to time during your Employment. 
 (c) No Conflicting Obligations. You represent and warrant to the
Company that when you commence employment, you will be under no contractual obligations or commitments that are inconsistent with your work obligations. In connection with your Employment, you shall not use or disclose any trade secrets or other
proprietary information or intellectual property in which you or any other person has any right, title or interest and your Employment will not infringe or violate the rights of any other person. You represent and warrant to the Company that when
you commence employment you will have returned all property and confidential information belonging to any prior employer. 
 (d) Commencement Date.
You shall commence full-time employment as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than December 7, 2015 (“Commencement Date”). 

(e) Non-Competition. During your Employment, you shall not engage in or in any other way participate in or
promote activity that competes with the Company directly. During your Employment, you shall refrain from working for, advising or being a member of any board of directors of any other company regardless of whether it competes with the Company or not
save for as approved by the Board of Directors. 
 (f) Non-Solicitation. Following the termination of your
Employment, you are prohibited from approaching other Company employees for the purpose of hiring them away from the Company on your own behalf or for any other entity, either as consultants or employees, for a period of two (2) years. 

2. Cash and Incentive Compensation. 
 (a) Salary.
The Company shall pay you as compensation for your services an initial base annual salary at a gross rate of 300 000 USD payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices. The annual compensation specified in this
subsection (a), together with any modifications in such compensation that the Company may make from time to time, is referred to in this Offer as “Base Salary.” Your Base Salary shall be reviewed on at least an annual basis. 

  
 1 

 (b) Bonus. You are eligible to participate in the Company’s management performance bonus plan,
upon criteria to be determined by the Company. The Company’s Compensation Committee has the sole discretion to interpret goals, performance, and final payment amounts. The target amount for the bonus will be up to 50% of the Base Salary. The
objectives are defined, measured and paid on a semiannual basis. We guarantee 50% of the total bonus for the first half year and the other 50% is based on performance objectives. You shall not earn an incentive bonus unless you are employed by the
Company on the date when such bonus is payable. 
 (c) Stock Options. Subject to the approval of the Board, the Company shall grant you a stock
option covering shares representing 5,5% of the Company’s fully-diluted Common Stock (the “Option”), with a “top off” grant after the internal funding round (December 2015/January 2016) to preserve your fully-diluted
interest after giving effect to the issuance in the round. The Option shall be granted as soon as reasonably practicable after the date you commence fulltime Employment. The purchase price per share will be the fair market value, as determined by
the Board when the Option is awarded in good faith compliance with applicable guidance in order to avoid having the Option be treated as deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The most current
appraisal of fair market value is 0,08 euro per share, and we know of no facts or circumstances that would currently make that estimate inaccurate. The appraisal of fair market value may have to be renewed in conjunction with a financing round that
is planned to close by the end of 2015. As a result the appraisal may change from 0,08 euro per share. There is no guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the value. You should consult with your own tax advisor concerning the tax
risks associated with accepting an option to purchase the Company’s Common Stock. The term of the Option shall be 10 years, subject to earlier expiration in the event of the termination of your services to the Company. So long as your service
status is continuous, the Option shall vest as follows: 25% of the total number of option shares shall vest on the first anniversary of your employment start date and 1/16th of the total Option shares shall vest in equal quarterly installments
thereafter. The Option will be an incentive stock option to the maximum extent allowed by the tax code and shall be subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Employee Stock Plan (the “Stock Plan”) and in the
Company’s standard form of Stock Option Agreement (the “Stock Agreement”). 
 (d) Acceleration Benefit. If there is a change of
control or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, then the vesting period will accelerate two (2) years, with all options that would have vested in the subsequent two (2) years becoming fully-vested and the vesting
schedule of each tranche of any options remaining unvested to be shortened by two (2) years. If Executive is released within 6 months following a change of control or 3 months prior, the all options will vest immediately. In order to be
eligible for such acceleration of vesting benefit, you must execute the Company’s standard form of release of all claims agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, unless a capitalized term used in this paragraph has a meaning given to it
elsewhere in this Offer, such term shall have the meaning given to it in the Stock Plan. 
 3. Vacation/PTO and Employee Benefits. 

During the term of your Employment, you will also be entitled to Personal Time Off (“PTO”), and other benefits made available by the Company to its
employees subject to applicable eligibility requirements. The Company’s current PTO policy combines both PTO and sick time at a rate of five (5) weeks per year (or about 2.08 days per month) of employment. Employees will also be given
public holidays in accordance with Company policy. Such paid PTO shall not accrue in excess of that allowable under the Company policy. During your Employment you shall be permitted, to the extent you are eligible, to participate in the company
sponsored 401(k), group medical, dental, life insurance and disability insurance plans, to the extent that those or similar benefit plans are made available to the Company’s employees. The Company may modify benefits as it deems necessary and
such changes shall become effective upon notice. Upon termination of your Employment for any reason, any rights you may have under the Company benefit plans shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of those plans. 

 4. Business Expenses. 

The Company will reimburse you for your necessary and reasonable business expenses incurred in connection with your work for the Company upon presentation of
an itemized account and appropriate supporting documentation, all in accordance with the Company’s generally applicable policies. 
 5. Termination.

 (a) Employment at Will. Your Employment shall be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company shall be entitled to terminate your
Employment at any time and for any reason. However, if your employment is terminated for any other reason than “Cause” (as defined below), death or “Permanent Disability” (as defined below) then employment may be terminated only
with six (6) months’ written notice. The health care will then be covered a further 6 months. Any contrary representations that may have been made to you are hereby superseded. 

(b) Definition of “Cause.” For all purposes during your Employment with the Company, “Cause” shall mean: (i) any material
