(b) On December 16, 2024, Jay Parikh notified Atlassian Corporation (the “Company”) of his decision to retire as a director of the Company, effective as of December 31, 2024. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the Company are deeply grateful for Mr. Parikh's dedication and contributions to the Company during his more than 11-year tenure as a director.

(d) Also on December 18, 2024, the Board approved the appointment of Christian Smith as a director of the Company, effective as of January 1, 2025 (the “Start Date”). Mr. Smith will serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. Mr. Smith is currently Senior Vice President, Chief Revenue Officer of Splunk Inc. (“Splunk”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”). With more than 25 years of experience, Mr. Smith is responsible for Splunk’s worldwide commercial business, including global sales, renewals, sales engineering, as well as partnerships and alliances. Mr. Smith holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Washington.

Mr. Smith will participate in the Company’s non-employee directors’ compensation arrangements. Under the terms of these arrangements, Mr. Smith will receive a $55,000 retainer for annual service on the Board and an annual award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) having a fair market value of $290,000 (the “Annual Grant”), in each case pro-rated for the year based on the time between the Start Date and the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders. These RSUs will vest in full on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the grant date or (ii) the next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to continued service as a director through the applicable vesting date, unless the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board determines that circumstances warrant continuation of vesting. All RSUs granted to non-employee directors are subject to 100% accelerated vesting upon the sale of the Company.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Smith and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Smith was named a director of the Company. The Company will also enter into its standard form of indemnification agreement with Mr. Smith (in substantially the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on October 3, 2022), which will require the Company to indemnify Mr. Smith, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, for certain liabilities to which he may become subject to in the execution or discharge of his duties. There are no related party transactions between the Company and Mr. Smith that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. From time to time, the Company has entered into, and expects to enter into, ordinary course and arm’s-length commercial contracts with each of Splunk and Cisco. Mr. Smith does not have a direct or indirect material interest in these transactions. Any such future transactions are subject to the procedures of the Company’s related party transactions policy.
