On July 31, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Bas NieuweWeme to the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Bas NieuweWeme will serve as a Class I director with a term expiring at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2028.

For his initial year of service on the Board, Mr. NieuweWeme will receive a grant of restricted stock units with an equivalent value of $350,000, with the number of restricted stock units calculated by dividing $350,000 by the ten trading-day average closing share price leading up to the day of the grant, vesting in three equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the day of the grant, subject to Mr. NieuweWeme’s continued service through each applicable vesting date. Mr. NieuweWeme will also be eligible for an annual grant of restricted stock units with an equivalent value of $200,000, with the number of restricted stock units calculated by dividing $200,000 by the ten trading-day average closing share price leading up to the day of the grant.
