PROXY STATEMENT

FOR 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD AT 10:00 A.M. PACIFIC TIME ON THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 2026

We are providing you with these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) for use at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of Zoom Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and any postponements, adjournments or continuations thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held as a virtual meeting on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time via a live interactive webcast on the internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ZM2026 where you will be able to listen to the meeting live, submit questions (before and during the meeting) and vote online. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement and our annual report is first being mailed on or about April 30, 2026 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

A list of stockholders entitled to vote will be available for a period of 10 days ending on the day immediately prior to the Annual Meeting at our headquarters, 55 Almaden Blvd., 6th Floor, San Jose, California 95113. If you would like to view the stockholder list, please contact our Investor Relations department via email at investors@zoom.us or at 1-888-799-9666 to schedule an appointment.

The information provided in the “question and answer” format below is for your convenience only and is merely a summary of the information contained in this proxy statement. You should read this entire proxy statement carefully. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and references to our website address in this proxy statement are inactive textual references only.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

Why are you holding a virtual Annual Meeting?

Our Annual Meeting will be held solely in a virtual format, which will be conducted via a live video webcast and online stockholder tools. We are using the virtual format to facilitate stockholder attendance and participation by enabling stockholders to participate fully and equally from any location around the world, at no cost. However, you will bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies. A virtual Annual Meeting makes it possible for more stockholders (regardless of size, resources or physical location) to have direct access to information more quickly, while saving the Company and our stockholders time and money. We also believe that the online tools we have selected will increase stockholder communication. For example, the virtual format allows stockholders to communicate with us in advance of, and during, the Annual Meeting so they can ask questions of our Board of Directors or management. During the live Q&A session of the Annual Meeting, we may answer questions as they come in and address those asked in advance, to the extent relevant to the business of the Annual Meeting and as time permits.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

You will be able to attend the virtual Annual Meeting online, submit your questions during the meeting and vote your shares electronically at the virtual meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ZM2026. To participate in the Annual Meeting online, you will need the control number included on your proxy card. The Annual Meeting webcast will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 9:55 a.m. Pacific Time and you should allow sufficient time for the check-in procedures. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or course of the Annual Meeting, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Annual Meeting website log-in page.

What matters am I voting on?

You will be voting on:

•the election of the two nominees for Class I directors named herein to serve until our 2029 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;

•a proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2027;

•advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules; and

•any other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote on these proposals?

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote:

•“FOR” the election of Eric S. Yuan and Lieut. Gen. H.R. McMaster as Class I directors;

•“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2027; and

•“FOR” advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules.

Who is entitled to vote?

Holders of either class of our common stock as of the close of business on April 13, 2026 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 266,044,474 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding and 28,697,070 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding. Our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote as a single class on all matters described in this proxy statement for which your vote is being solicited. Stockholders are not permitted to cumulate votes with respect to the election of directors. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote on each proposal and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes on each proposal. Our Class A common stock and Class B common stock are collectively referred to in this proxy statement as our common stock.

Registered Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares and the Notice was provided to you directly by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote live at the Annual Meeting. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to these registered stockholders as “stockholders of record.”

Street Name Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are held on your behalf in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered to be the beneficial owner of shares that are held in “street name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. Beneficial owners are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares of our common stock live at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker, bank or other nominee’s procedures, including any requirements to obtain a legal proxy. If you request a printed copy of our proxy materials by mail, your broker, bank or other nominee will provide a voting instruction form for you to use. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to stockholders who hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee as “street name stockholders.”

How do I vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, there are four ways to vote:

•by Internet at www.proxyvote.com, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 10, 2026 (have your Notice or proxy card in hand when you visit the website);

•by toll-free telephone until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 10, 2026 at 1-800-690-6903 (be sure to have your Notice or proxy card in hand when you call);

•by completing and mailing your proxy card so it is received prior to the Annual Meeting (if you received printed proxy materials); or

•by attending and voting at the virtual Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ZM2026, where stockholders may vote and submit questions (before and during) the Annual Meeting (have your Notice or proxy card in hand when you visit the website).

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting online, we recommend that you also vote by proxy prior to the Annual Meeting so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

If you are a street name stockholder, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Street name stockholders should generally be able to vote by returning a voting instruction form, or by telephone or on the Internet. However, the availability of telephone and Internet voting will depend on the voting process of your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow the instructions provided by your brokerage firm, bank, or other similar organization for your bank, broker or other stockholder of record to vote your shares per your instructions. Alternatively, many brokers and banks provide the means to grant proxies or otherwise instruct them to vote your shares by telephone and via the Internet, including by providing you with a 16-digit control number via email or on your Notice or your voting instruction form. If your shares are held in an account with a broker, bank or other stockholder of record providing such a service, you may instruct them to vote your shares by telephone (by calling the number provided in the proxy materials) or over the Internet as instructed by your broker, bank or other stockholder of record. If you did not receive a 16-digit control number via email or on your Notice or voting instruction form, and you wish to vote prior to or at the virtual Annual Meeting, you must follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other stockholder of record, including any requirement to obtain a valid legal proxy. Many brokers, banks and other stockholders of record allow a beneficial owner to obtain a valid legal proxy either online or by mail, and we recommend that you contact your broker, bank or other stockholder of record to do so.

What is the vote required to approve each proposal?

•Proposal No. 1: The election of directors requires a plurality of the votes of the shares of our common stock present virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. “Plurality” means that the nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast “For” such nominees are elected as directors. As a result, any shares not voted “For” a particular nominee (whether as a result of stockholder abstention or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in such nominee’s favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election. You may vote “For” or “Withhold” on each of the nominees for election as a director. Withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

•Proposal No. 2: The ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2027, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of our common stock present virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. Abstentions are considered votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “Against” this proposal. We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.

•Proposal No. 3: Advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of our common stock present virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. Abstentions are considered votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “Against” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual Meeting to properly hold an annual meeting of stockholders and conduct business under our amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law. The presence, virtually or represented by proxy, of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, withhold votes and broker non-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

Can I change my vote?

Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy any time before the Annual Meeting by:

•entering a new vote by Internet or by telephone;

•completing and returning a later-dated proxy card;

•notifying the Secretary of Zoom Communications, Inc., in writing received at the following address by the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Annual Meeting, at Zoom Communications, Inc., 55 Almaden Blvd., 6th Floor, San Jose, California 95113; or

•attending and voting at the virtual Annual Meeting (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).

If you are a street name stockholder, your broker, bank or other nominee can provide you with instructions on how to change your vote.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our Board of Directors. Eric S. Yuan and Michelle Chang have been designated as proxy holders by our Board of Directors. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors as described above. If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote the shares. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned, the proxy holders can vote the shares on the new Annual Meeting date as well, unless you have properly revoked your proxy instructions, as described above.

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we have elected to furnish our proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our annual report, primarily via the Internet. The Notice containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials is first being mailed on or about April 30, 2026 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may request to receive all future proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email by following the instructions contained in the Notice. We encourage stockholders to take advantage of the availability of our proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the environmental impact and cost of our annual meetings of stockholders.

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting?

Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. All expenses associated with this solicitation will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokers, banks or other nominees for reasonable expenses that they incur in sending our proxy materials to you if a broker, bank or other nominee holds shares of our common stock on your behalf. In addition, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, online, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Our directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

How may my brokerage firm or other intermediary vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?

Brokerage firms and other intermediaries holding shares of our common stock in street name for their customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker will have discretion to vote your shares on the sole “routine” matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting: the proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2027. Your broker will not have discretion to vote on any other proposals, which are “non-routine” matters, absent direction from you.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials, to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of such stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs, and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials, to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these materials. To receive a separate copy, or, if a stockholder is receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials, such stockholder may contact us at the following address:

Zoom Communications, Inc.

Attention: Investor Relations

55 Almaden Blvd., 6th Floor

San Jose, California 95113

Tel: 1-888-799-9666

Email: investors@zoom.us

Street name stockholders may contact their broker, bank or other nominee to request information about householding.

What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?

Stockholder Proposals

Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals in writing to our Secretary in a timely manner. For a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, our Secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal executive offices not later than December 31, 2026. In addition, stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Stockholder proposals should be addressed to:

Zoom Communications, Inc.

Attention: Corporate Secretary

55 Almaden Blvd., 6th Floor

San Jose, California 95113

Our amended and restated bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders is business that is (i) specified in our proxy materials with respect to such annual meeting, (ii) otherwise properly brought before such annual meeting by or at the direction of our Board of Directors, or (iii) properly brought before such meeting by a stockholder of record entitled to vote at such annual meeting who has delivered timely written notice to our Secretary, which notice must contain the information specified in our amended and restated bylaws. To be timely for our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, our Secretary must receive the written notice at our principal executive offices:

•not earlier than February 11, 2027; and

•not later than the close of business on March 13, 2027.

In the event that we hold the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after the one-year anniversary of the Annual Meeting, notice of a stockholder proposal that is not intended to be included in our proxy statement must be received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and no later than the close of business on the later of the following two dates:

•the 90th day prior to the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders; or

•the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders is first made.

If a stockholder who has notified us of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting of stockholders does not appear to present his, her or its proposal at such annual meeting, we are not required to present the proposal for a vote at such annual meeting.

Recommendations of Director Candidates

Holders of our common stock may propose director candidates for consideration by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Any such recommendations should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for membership on our Board of Directors and should be directed to our Secretary at the address set forth above. For additional information regarding stockholder recommendations for director candidates, see the section titled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance—Stockholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors.”

In addition, our amended and restated bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual meeting of stockholders. To nominate a director, the stockholder must provide the information required by our amended and restated bylaws. In addition, the stockholder must give timely notice to our Secretary in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws, which, in general, require that the notice be received by our Secretary within the time periods described above under “Stockholder Proposals” for stockholder proposals that are not intended to be included in a proxy statement.

Availability of Bylaws

You may contact our Secretary at the address set forth above for a copy of the relevant amended and restated bylaw provisions regarding the requirements for making stockholder proposals and nominating director candidates.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our business affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors, which is currently composed of eight members. Seven of our directors are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Our Board of Directors is divided into three staggered classes of directors. At each annual meeting of stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the same class whose term is then expiring.

During fiscal year 2026, Mr. Peter Gassner resigned as a member of our Board of Directors. In connection with his resignation, our Board of Directors reduced the size of the board to eight members.

The following table sets forth the names, ages as of March 31, 2026, and certain other information for each of the members of our Board of Directors with terms expiring at the Annual Meeting (who are also nominees for election as a director at the Annual Meeting) and for each of the continuing members of our Board of Directors:

Nominees for Director

Eric S. Yuan. Mr. Yuan is the founder of our Company and has served as the Chairman of our Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer since June 2011. From May 2007 to June 2011, Mr. Yuan served as Corporate Vice President of Engineering at Cisco. Mr. Yuan served in various roles, most recently as Vice President of Engineering, at WebEx Communications, Inc. ("WebEx"), an internet company, from August 1997 until its acquisition by Cisco in May 2007. Mr. Yuan currently serves on the board of directors of Intuit, Inc., a financial software company, and is a nominee for election to the board of directors of ServiceNow, Inc.

Yuan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Math from Shandong University of Science & Technology and a Master’s degree in engineering from China University of Mining & Technology.

Mr. Yuan was selected to serve on our Board of Directors because of the perspective and experience he brings as our founder, as well as his extensive experience with technology companies.

General McMaster holds a B.S. from the United States Military Academy at West Point and a M.A. and Ph.D. in History from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Director Independence

Our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors

10.

and under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, independent directors must comprise at least three-quarters of our Board of Directors. In addition, the Nasdaq rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation, and nominating committees be independent. Under the Nasdaq listing standards, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that listed company’s board of directors, that director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each of our directors. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our Board of Directors has determined that each of Ms. Hoots, General McMaster, and Messrs. Chadwick, Fenger, McDermott, Scheinman, and Subotovsky do not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. In addition, our Board of Directors previously determined that each of Peter Gassner and Janet Napolitano, who served as directors for a portion of fiscal 2026, was “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and any transactions involving them described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Board Leadership Structure

Eric S. Yuan currently serves as both the Chairman of our Board of Directors and as our Chief Executive Officer. Our independent directors, led by our Lead Independent Director bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside of our Company, while Mr. Yuan brings company-specific experience and expertise. As our founder, Mr. Yuan is best positioned to identify strategic priorities, lead critical discussion and execute our business plans. We believe that the structure of our Board of Directors and its committees provides effective independent oversight of management while Mr. Yuan’s combined role enables strong leadership, creates clear accountability and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to stockholders.

Lead Independent Director

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if the Chairman of our Board of Directors is not an independent director, our independent directors will designate one of the independent directors to serve as Lead Independent Director. Because Mr. Yuan is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, our Board of Directors, including the independent directors, has appointed Dan Scheinman to serve as our Lead Independent Director. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. Scheinman presides over regularly scheduled executive sessions of our independent directors, coordinates activities of the independent directors, presides over any portions of meetings of our Board of Directors at which the performance of our Board of Directors is presented or discussed, and performs such additional duties as our Board of Directors otherwise determines and delegates.

Board and Stockholder Meetings and Committees

During our fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, our Board of Directors held four meetings (including regularly scheduled and special meetings), and each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our Board of Directors held during the period for which he or she has been a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served.

11.

We encourage our directors to attend our annual meeting of stockholders. All but three of our then-serving directors attended the annual meeting of stockholders in 2025. The three directors who were unable to attend had scheduling conflicts.

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and a Cybersecurity Risk Management Committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our Board of Directors is described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our Board of Directors.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Chadwick and Scheinman and Ms. Hoots. Our Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee satisfies the independence requirements under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act. The chair of our Audit Committee is Mr. Chadwick. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Chadwick is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of SEC regulations. Each director who served on our Audit Committee during fiscal year 2026 can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with applicable requirements. In arriving at these determinations, our Board of Directors has examined each Audit Committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of his or her employment.

12.

The primary purpose of our Compensation Committee is to discharge the responsibilities of our Board of Directors in overseeing our compensation policies, plans and programs and to review and determine the compensation to be paid to our executive officers, directors and other senior management, as appropriate.

During our fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, our Compensation Committee held four meetings.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of General McMaster and Messrs. Fenger and Subotovsky. The chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is Mr. Subotovsky. Our Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is independent under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

A copy of the charter of our Cybersecurity Risk Management Committee is available on our website at https://investors.zoom.us/corporate-governance. During our fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, our Cybersecurity Risk Management Committee held four meetings.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

As mentioned above, our Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. McDermott, Scheinman and Subotovsky and no other person served as a member of our Compensation Committee during the year ended January 31, 2026. None of the members of our Compensation Committee is or has been an officer or employee of our Company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. In its evaluation of director candidates, including director candidates nominated by stockholders, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the current size and composition of our Board of Directors and the needs of our Board of Directors and the respective committees of our Board of Directors. Some of the qualifications that our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers include, without limitation, issues of character, integrity, judgment, diversity of experience, independence, area of expertise, corporate experience, length of service, potential conflicts of interest and other commitments. Nominees must also have the ability to offer advice and guidance to our Chief Executive Officer based on past experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility and be leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated. Director candidates must have sufficient time available in the judgment of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to perform all Board of Directors and committee responsibilities. Members of our Board of Directors are expected to prepare for, attend, and participate in all Board of Directors and applicable committee meetings. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem, from time to time, are in our and our stockholders’ best interests.

14.

Our Board of Directors believes that it should be a diverse body, and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. As set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in making determinations regarding nominations of directors, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers, among other factors, diversity of personal background, professional experience, education, skills, and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers these and other factors as it oversees the annual Board of Directors and committee evaluations. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends to our full Board of Directors the director nominees for selection.

Stockholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for director recommended by stockholders holding at least one percent (1%) of the fully diluted capitalization of our Company continuously for at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of the submission of the recommendation, so long as such recommendations comply with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the SEC. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate such recommendations in accordance with its charter, our amended and restated bylaws, our policies and procedures for director candidates, as well as the regular director nominee criteria described above. This process is designed to ensure that our Board of Directors includes members with diverse backgrounds, skills and experience, including appropriate financial and other expertise relevant to our business. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination should contact our Chief Legal Officer or our Legal Department in writing at Zoom Communications, Inc., 55 Almaden Blvd., 6th Floor, San Jose, California 95113. Such recommendations must include information about the candidate, a statement of support by the recommending stockholder, evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of our common stock and a signed letter from the candidate confirming willingness to serve on our Board of Directors. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.

Under our amended and restated bylaws, stockholders may also nominate directors for elections at an annual meeting of stockholders. Any nomination must comply with the requirements set forth in our amended and restated bylaws. See “Questions and Answers About These Proxy Materials and Voting—What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?” above for more information.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Interested parties wishing to communicate with our Board of Directors or with an individual member or members of our Board of Directors may do so by writing to our Board of Directors or to the particular member or members of our Board of Directors and mailing the correspondence to our Chief Legal Officer at Zoom Communications, Inc., 55 Almaden Blvd., 6th Floor, San Jose, California 95113. If an interested party wishes to contact the independent members of our Board of Directors, the interested party should address such communication to the attention of the Lead Independent Director at the address above. Our Chief Legal Officer in consultation with appropriate members of our Board of Directors as necessary, will review all incoming communications and, if appropriate, all such communications will be forwarded to the appropriate member or members of our Board of Directors, or if none is specified, to the Chairman of our Board of Directors.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of our directors and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable to us in general. In addition, our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct

15.

and Ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on the Corporate Governance portion of our website at https://investors.zoom.us/corporate-governance. We will post amendments to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or waivers of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors and executive officers on the same website.

Risk Management

Risk is inherent with every business, and we face a number of risks, including strategic, financial, business and operational, cybersecurity, legal and compliance, and reputational. We have designed and implemented processes to manage risk in our operations. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the company faces, while our Board of Directors, as a whole and assisted by its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are appropriate and functioning as designed.

Our Board of Directors believes that open communication between management and our Board of Directors is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our Board of Directors meets with our Chief Executive Officer and other members of our senior management team at quarterly meetings of our Board of Directors, where, among other topics, they discuss strategy and risks facing the company, as well as at such other times as they deem appropriate.

While our Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, our board committees assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. Our Audit Committee assists our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in the areas of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, legal and regulatory compliance, and discusses with management and the independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. Our Audit Committee also reviews our major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. Our Audit Committee also monitors certain key risks on a regular basis throughout the fiscal year, such as risk associated with internal control over financial reporting and liquidity risk. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risk associated with board organization, membership and structure, and corporate governance. Our Compensation Committee assesses risks created by the incentives inherent in our compensation policies.

Our Cybersecurity Risk Management Committee and our Board of Directors address the primary cybersecurity risks associated with our business. Our Cybersecurity Risk Management Committee assists our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibility. Our Board of Directors appreciates the evolving nature of our business and industry and is actively involved with monitoring new threats and risks as they emerge. In particular, our Board of Directors is committed to the identification, timely detection, protection against, appropriate response to, and mitigation of the effects of cybersecurity threats or incidents on Zoom. Our Cybersecurity Risk Management Committee actively engages in such activities as (i) considering input from the Zoom cybersecurity team and others to better understand the threats to the security of Zoom's services and their impact on Zoom’s business and (ii) evaluating methods for validating the effectiveness of Zoom’s cybersecurity efforts. In particular, our Chief Information Security Officer provides regular briefings to our senior management and our Cybersecurity Risk Management Committee concerning relevant cybersecurity risks and the processes we have implemented to address them. Our Cybersecurity Risk Management Committee, and our Board of Directors also receive various reports, summaries, and presentations related to cybersecurity threats, risks, and mitigations.

At periodic meetings of our Board of Directors and its committees, management reports to and seeks guidance from our Board of Directors and its committees with respect to the most significant risks that could affect our business, such as legal risks, information security and privacy risks, and financial, tax and compliance related

16.

risks. In addition, among other matters, management provides our Audit Committee periodic reports on our compliance programs and investment policy and practices.

Insider Trading Policy

We have adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of the Company’s securities by directors, officers and employees that is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, as well as procedures designed to further the foregoing purposes. A copy of our insider trading policy is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. In addition, it is the Company’s intent to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to insider trading.

Prohibition on Hedging, Short Sales and Pledging

Our insider trading policy prohibits our directors, officers, employees, and agents (such as consultants and independent contractors) from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds. In addition, our insider trading policy prohibits trading in derivative securities related to our Class A common stock, which include publicly traded call and put options, engaging in short selling of our Class A common stock, purchasing our Class A common stock on margin or holding it in a margin account and pledging our shares as collateral for a loan. Further, our insider trading policy provides that our directors and executive officers may only trade in our securities through a 10b5-1 trading plan.

Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG")

Environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations are woven throughout our business and we are committed to maintaining a strong sustainability and ESG program and providing transparent disclosures of our initiatives. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has oversight of our practices and initiatives with respect to ESG matters expected to have a significant impact on the business. The sustainability and ESG program reports into Compliance and Ethics within the Legal organization, and focuses on customer engagement, reporting and disclosure and operational execution. In 2025, we released our fiscal year 2025 Impact Report, which aligned with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) reporting standards, and included information regarding our ESG initiatives and policies, our environmental performance, governance practices, and our customer and our community engagement. This report, along with further information about our ESG initiatives and policies, is available on our investor relations website. Content available on our website is not incorporated herein and is not part of this proxy statement. We plan to release our fiscal year 2026 Impact Report later in the year.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

We maintain a Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy that provides for cash and equity compensation to directors who are not also serving as an employee or consultant to us (each an “Eligible Director”). The Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy was originally approved by our Board of Directors and effective in May 2019. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors periodically review the compensation for our Eligible Directors, with the assistance of their independent compensation consultant, Aon's Human Capital Solutions practice (formerly known as Radford), a division of Aon plc (“Aon”), including by reference to the peer group of companies used for executive compensation purposes and general trends and best practices in our industry for director compensation. When updating the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors carefully consider market data analysis and recommendations from Aon, as well as the increased demands on, and time commitment required by, our directors.

The current Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (which was also effective for fiscal 2026) is described below.

17.

Annual Cash Compensation

1.Annual Board Service Retainer:

a.All Eligible Directors: $45,000

b.Chairperson or Lead Independent Director (in lieu of above): $65,000

2.Annual Committee Member Service Retainer:

a.Member of the Audit Committee: $12,500

b.Member of the Compensation Committee: $10,000

c.Member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: $5,000

d.Member of the Cybersecurity Risk Management Committee: $10,000

3.Annual Committee Chair Service Retainer (in lieu of Committee Member Service Retainer):

a.Chairperson of the Audit Committee: $27,500

b.Chairperson of the Compensation Committee: $20,000

c.Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: $10,000

d.Chairperson of the Cybersecurity Risk Management Committee: $20,000

Equity Compensation

Under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy terms in place for fiscal 2026, each Eligible Director is eligible to receive a restricted stock unit ("RSU") calculated based on a grant value of $275,000 (the “Target RSU”). The RSU is automatically granted to each Eligible Director at the following times and is pro-rated as described below. All of the RSUs granted under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy are granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”).

Initial Appointment: At the time an Eligible Director is first elected or appointed to the Board of Directors, on the date of such Eligible Director’s initial election or appointment to the Board (the “Eligibility Date”), such Eligible Director receives the Target RSU (the “Initial Grant”), pro-rated by the percentage (not to exceed 100%) obtained by dividing the total number of expected calendar days remaining until the first annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “annual meeting”) occurring after the Eligibility Date by 365. The Initial Grant fully vests as of the day immediately preceding the first annual meeting date (or, if sooner, the one-year anniversary of the grant date of the Initial Grant), subject to the Eligible Director’s continuous service (as defined in the 2019 Plan) through each such applicable vesting date. If an Eligible Director is first elected or appointed to the Board of Directors on the date of an annual meeting, such Eligible Director receives the Annual Grant (defined below) instead of an Initial Grant.

Re-Election: On the date of each of our annual meetings of stockholders, commencing on the applicable meeting date as described below, each Eligible Director who is (i) nominated at such annual meeting to be re-elected to the Board of Directors to serve a three-year term and (ii) continues to serve as a non-employee member of the Board of Directors following such annual meeting is granted the Target RSUs (each, an “Annual Grant”).

All RSUs granted pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy will accelerate and vest in full upon (i) the Eligible Director’s death or disability (as defined in the 2019 Plan) or (ii) a change in control (as defined in the 2019 Plan), subject to the Eligible Director’s continuous service through such date.

The number of shares underlying each RSU granted under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy is determined by dividing the applicable grant value for such RSU (as pro-rated if applicable) by a 60-trading day trailing average closing stock price of our Class A common stock. The Compensation Committee uses the 60-

18.

trading day trailing average closing price, rather than a single day stock price on the date of grant, in order to provide a more stabilized stock value less susceptible to possible swings in the market. The Compensation Committee understands that this process can result in the ultimate grant date fair value of an award as required to be reported in the Director Compensation Table under Financial Accounting Standard Board ASC Topic 718

("ASC 718") being higher or lower than the Target RSU value, but has considered, in consultation with Aon, various approaches to granting equity awards, each of which have advantages and disadvantages, and determined that the process described above is the most appropriate for Zoom at this time.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors currently consists of eight members. In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our Board of Directors is divided into three staggered classes of directors. At the Annual Meeting, two Class I directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the same class whose term is then expiring.

Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. This classification of our Board of Directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of our Company.

Nominees

There are currently two directors in Class I, Eric Yuan and Lieut. Gen. H.R. McMaster, both of whose terms of office are set to expire at the Annual Meeting. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has recommended, and our Board of Directors has approved, each of Eric Yuan and Lieut. Gen. H.R. McMaster as nominees for election as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. If elected, each of Mr. Yuan and General McMaster will serve as Class I directors until our 2029 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each of the nominees is currently a director of our Company and was previously elected by our stockholders. For information concerning the nominees, please see the section titled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance.”

If you are a stockholder of record and you sign your proxy card or vote by telephone or over the Internet but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted “For” the election of Mr. Yuan and General McMaster. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and our management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve; however, in the event that a director nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by our Board of Directors to fill such vacancy. If you are a street name stockholder and you do not give voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee will leave your shares unvoted on this matter.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”

EACH OF THE NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), independent registered public accountants, to audit our consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2027. During our fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, KPMG served as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Notwithstanding the appointment of KPMG and even if our stockholders ratify the appointment, our Audit Committee, in its discretion, may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during our fiscal year if our Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2027. Our Audit Committee is submitting the appointment of KPMG to our stockholders because we value our stockholders’ views on our independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate governance. Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting, and they will have an opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from our stockholders.

If our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG, our Board of Directors may reconsider the appointment.

Our Audit Committee has established a policy governing our use of the services of our independent registered public accounting firm. Under this policy, our Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair the public accountants’ independence.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, our stockholders are entitled to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules.

This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. The compensation of our named executive officers subject to the vote is disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure contained in this proxy statement. As discussed in those disclosures, we believe that our compensation policies and decisions are focused on pay-for-performance principles and strongly aligned with our shareholders’ interests. Compensation of our named executive officers is designed to enable us to attract and retain talented and experienced executives to lead our Company successfully in a competitive environment.

Accordingly, our Board of Directors is asking the stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement by casting a non-binding advisory vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby APPROVED.”

Because the vote is advisory, it is not binding on us or our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, the views expressed by the stockholders, whether through this vote or otherwise, are important to management and our Board of Directors, and, accordingly, our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee intend to consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation arrangements.

The next scheduled say-on-pay vote will be held at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS

A VOTE “FOR” THE ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee is a committee of the Board of Directors comprised solely of independent directors as required by the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market and rules and regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors, which is available on the Company’s website at https://investors.zoom.us/corporate-governance. The composition of the Audit Committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the Audit Committee, as reflected in its charter, are intended to be in accordance with applicable requirements for corporate audit committees. The Audit Committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter and the Audit Committee’s performance on an annual basis.

With respect to the Company’s financial reporting process, the management of the company is responsible for (i) establishing and maintaining internal controls and (ii) preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and to issue a report thereon. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to oversee these activities. It is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to prepare the Company’s financial statements. These are the fundamental responsibilities of management. In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has:

•reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and KPMG;

•discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

•reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with KPMG its independence.

Based on the Audit Committee’s review and discussions with management and KPMG described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Respectfully submitted by the members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors:

Jonathan Chadwick (Chair)

Cindy Hoots

Dan Scheinman

This report of the Audit Committee is required by the SEC and, in accordance with the SEC’s rules, will not be deemed to be part of or incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and will not otherwise be deemed “soliciting material” or “filed” under either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides an overview of our executive compensation philosophy and objectives, discusses our executive compensation policies and analyzes how and why our Compensation Committee arrived at specific compensation decisions for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, or fiscal 2026, for the individuals listed below, collectively referred to as our “named executive officers” or “NEOs.”

Our named executive officers for fiscal 2026 are:


Name(1)						Position(s)
Eric S. Yuan						President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer)
Michelle Chang						Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer)
Aparna Bawa(2)						Chief Operating Officer
Velchamy Sankarlingam						President of Product and Engineering

_______________

(1) Aside from the individuals described above, we did not have any other executive officers (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) serving at the end of fiscal 2026 and we did not have any other executive officers serving during fiscal 2026 who would otherwise qualify as “named executive officers” pursuant to SEC rules and guidance.

(2) On April 2, 2026, the Company announced that Ms. Bawa resigned from her role at the Company effective May 8, 2026.

Executive Summary

As we continue to grow our business, we continue to transform our compensation program to reflect our evolution into a more mature business. We remain committed to a straightforward, transparent compensation structure, designed to best motivate our executive officers and drive long-term value creation for our stockholders. While our compensation historically favored equity over cash compensation, we are transitioning to a compensation structure that introduces larger performance cash bonus opportunities to better reflect market practices.

Summary of Fiscal 2026 Performance

In fiscal 2026, we sharpened our focus as an AI-first work platform, executed on our strategy and reinforced our core values. Our performance in fiscal 2026 reflects the increasing value of our platform, with innovations like AI Companion 3.0, as our platform expands and evolves into an AI-powered system of action for modern work. We bridge work both inside and outside the organization — across collaboration, customer experience, and employee experience — using AI to take conversations all the way to completion.

The following fiscal 2026 business results provide context for stockholders reviewing our executive compensation disclosures:

•Revenue: Total revenue for the fiscal year was $4,868.8 million, up 4.4% year over year.

•Income from Operations: GAAP income from operations for the fiscal year was $1,123.6 million, up from GAAP income from operations of $813.3 million for fiscal year 2025. Non-GAAP income from operations for the fiscal year was $1,967.2 million, up from $1,837.9 million for fiscal year 2025.1

•Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,989 million for the fiscal year, up from $1,945.3 million for fiscal year 2025.

1 See Appendix A to this proxy statement for information regarding our use of non-GAAP income from operations, including a reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

27.

Summary of Fiscal 2026 Executive Compensation Program

Based on our operational and financial performance, and in light of the other factors described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Compensation Committee made the following named executive officer compensation decisions for fiscal 2026:

Base Salary: For fiscal 2026, the base salaries of each of our named executive officers other than Mr. Sankarlingam remained the same as their salaries for fiscal 2025. Mr. Sankarlingam’s base salary increased by 4% to better align with market compensation and to be consistent with the salary budget for his role.

Annual Performance Cash Incentive: Target incentive cash award opportunities for fiscal 2026 were increased for each named executive officer, other than Ms. Chang, as part of our shift towards using more cash for short-term incentives to align with market practices and reduce stock based compensation expense. Effective February 1, 2025, Mr. Yuan’s bonus target, expressed as a percentage of his base salary, was increased to 64% of base salary and Ms. Bawa’s and Mr. Sankarlingam’s bonus targets, expressed as a percentage of their base salaries, were both increased to 49% of base salary. Ms. Chang’s bonus target of 90% of her base salary remained unchanged being aligned with market data for her role.

Our fiscal 2026 performance cash incentive program was based on two rigorous financial performance goals that drive our business: revenue and non-GAAP income from operations. Actual payments under the program were based solely on achievement against those financial metrics, resulting in a payout at 102.6% of each named executive officer’s target annual incentive.

Equity Awards: As part of our transition to increased short-term cash incentive opportunities, we decreased our named executive officers’ equity incentive opportunities in fiscal 2026, granting them performance-vesting RSU awards in fiscal 2026 with target grant values equal to half of the target values of the performance-vesting RSU awards granted to them in fiscal 2025.

Total Compensation: Total compensation reported for our CEO for fiscal 2026 is approximately 62.6% lower than in fiscal 2025 and approximately 95.4% lower than in fiscal 2024, based on total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table. This reduction in total compensation is primarily attributable to the decrease in the value of equity compensation awarded to our CEO. Specifically, we did not grant supplemental equity awards in fiscal 2026, and we did not grant a new four-year ‘‘refresh’’ equity award to our CEO in fiscal 2026 (our CEO last received a four-year ‘‘refresh’’ award in fiscal 2023).

28.

Early Fiscal 2027 Executive Compensation Changes

In early fiscal 2027, we made a few significant changes to our executive compensation practices. A summary of those changes are below. See section “Fiscal 2027 Executive Compensation Overview” for further details.

Annual Bonus Program. Beginning fiscal 2027, we transitioned completely from our performance-vesting equity grants to an annual cash bonus program. Accordingly, our named executive officers have a higher performance bonus target than in fiscal 2026. The bonus will be based on achievement of key financial and operational goals established by the Compensation Committee.

Base Salaries. In February 2026, we increased the base salaries for Ms. Bawa and Ms. Chang by 4% for fiscal 2027.

Refresh Grants. In fiscal 2026, in response to stockholder feedback, we decided to transition from our practice of granting four-year equity refresh grants in favor of an annual equity grant program focused on smaller annual awards, which allows us to differentiate each year by employee performance.

During this transition, employees will receive a transition award designed to maintain similar expected annual vested value during the period over which the four-year refresh awards complete their vesting and the annual grants start vesting. The size and vesting of the transition grants will vary depending on when an employee’s four-year refresh grant completes its final vesting date.

In fiscal 2027, we began implementing the new annual equity program. Accordingly, Mr. Yuan transitioned to the new annual equity grant program and received an annual equity grant along with a transition equity grant.

Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

We assess the effectiveness of our executive compensation program from time to time and review risk mitigation and governance matters, which include maintaining the following best practices:


What We Do						What We Don’t Do
ü Emphasize long-term equity incentives ü Tie performance cash incentive opportunities to defined business objectives and include a reasonable cap ü Provide transparent disclosure of performance incentive targets and payout structure ü Assess risks of our compensation program ü Maintain a Compensation Committee comprised entirely of independent directors ü Retain an independent compensation advisor ü Maintain clawback policies						û No guaranteed “single-trigger” change in control payments û No tax reimbursements or tax gross-ups on severance or change in control payments û No special executive welfare or health benefits, or special executive retirement plans û No guaranteed salary increases or bonuses û No hedging or pledging of our stock

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

At our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 81% of the votes cast were voted “FOR” our advisory vote on executive compensation. The Compensation Committee reviews the advisory vote results and feedback from our stockholder engagement activities when making executive compensation decisions.

29.

The Compensation Committee values the views of our stockholders and we have continued to solicit input from our stockholders throughout the year. In fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026, we engaged in a dialogue and had informative discussions with several of our institutional stockholders, including one of our largest institutional investors (based on holdings of our Class A common stock), to gain a better understanding of their views regarding our executive compensation program, as well as other governance matters. The feedback from our stockholders and the compensation changes we made over the past two years in response to such feedback and as a result of last year’s say-on-pay advisory vote are described in the table below.


What we heard						How we responded
Stockholders generally expressed a desire to better understand our equity compensation program.						We continue to evolve our equity compensation program. In this proxy statement, we have continued to include expanded disclosure regarding our equity compensation program and how we believe it, along with our cash incentive program, aligns pay with company performance.
Stockholders expressed concerns regarding our supplemental grant program and our four-year “refresh” grants.						In fiscal 2027, we are transitioning from our four-year ‘‘refresh’’ grants to annual refresh equity grants. In addition, in fiscal 2025, we discontinued our supplemental grant program so that no employees (including NEOs) receive supplemental grants after January 2024.
Stockholders subsequently expressed concern regarding our equity compensation dilution and requested that we consider a cash incentive program instead of the use of equity for short-term performance objectives.						We completed our transition of executive compensation practices to increase performance cash bonus opportunities and eliminated annual performance equity grants to reduce stock based compensation expense. In fiscal 2026, we granted performance-vesting equity awards with target grant values equal to half of the target values applicable to the fiscal 2025 performance-vesting equity awards. In fiscal 2027, we transitioned away from using equity for short-term performance objectives and have moved entirely to a cash incentive program.

Our Compensation Committee will monitor and continually evaluate our compensation program going forward in light of our stockholders' views and our transforming business needs. Our Compensation Committee expects to continue to consider the outcome of our say-on-pay votes and our stockholders' views when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

Compensation Objectives and Philosophy

Our compensation philosophy is to employ market-competitive compensation programs and relevant total rewards offerings to our employees that reflect our culture and values and recognize their value to our organization.

Our executive compensation program aims to achieve the following main objectives:

•attract, retain, and reward top talent;

•provide incentives that motivate and reward for achievement of our key performance goals that increase stockholder value over the long term;

•apply a market-based compensation structure that balances internal equity and that reflects our culture and values; and

30.

•align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders.

Elements of Executive Compensation

Our executive compensation program aims to take a holistic approach to compensation and generally consists of, and is intended to strike a balance among, the following three principal components: (1) base salary, (2) performance-based cash incentive compensation, and (3) equity incentive compensation. We also provide our executive officers with severance and change-in-control related payments and benefits, as well as benefits available to all our employees, including retirement benefits under our 401(k) plan and participation in various employee health and welfare benefit plans. The following chart summarizes the three main elements of our executive compensation program, their objectives, and key features.

Element

Objectives

Key Features

Base Salary
(fixed cash)

Provides financial stability and security through a fixed amount of cash for performing job responsibilities.

Fixed compensation that is periodically reviewed and adjusted if and when appropriate.

Performance Incentive (at-risk cash)

Motivates and rewards for attaining performance goals that are key drivers of our annual operating plan.

Cash incentive opportunities are dependent upon specific performance goals (which may be corporate performance goals and/or individual performance goals or sales goals in the case of executives subject to our sales compensation plan). Each goal has a defined threshold level necessary for any payout and a reasonable cap on payout. Actual incentive amounts earned are determined after the end of the performance period, taking into account the extent to which the performance goals have been achieved (and any relative weightings of such goals).

Equity Incentive

(at-risk equity)

Motivates and rewards for Company performance by aligning executives’ interests with stockholder interests and changes in stockholder value. Attracts highly qualified executives and encourages their continued employment over the long term.

We grant equity in the form of RSUs. Equity incentives may be granted as and when we determine appropriate for new hires, promotions, refresh, or other special circumstances, such as to encourage retention or as a reward for significant achievement. For fiscal 2026, we granted performance-vesting RSUs that vest based on achievement of performance goals and supplement our annual cash incentive program.

We focus on providing a competitive compensation package to each of our executive officers that provides significant short-term and long-term incentives for the achievement of measurable corporate objectives. We believe that this approach provides an appropriate blend of short-term and long-term incentives to maximize stockholder value.

We do not have formal policies for allocating compensation among salary, performance incentive awards and equity grants, short-term and long-term compensation, or among cash and non-cash compensation. Instead, the Compensation Committee uses its judgment to establish a total compensation program for each named executive officer that is a mix of current, short-term and long-term incentive compensation, and cash and non-cash compensation that it believes appropriate to achieve the goals of our executive compensation program and our corporate objectives. However, the Compensation Committee typically structures a significant portion of our named executive officers’ compensation package to be comprised of long-term equity awards in order to align the executive officers’ incentives with the interests of our stockholders and focus our executives on achieving key corporate goals that drive our business.

31.

How We Determine Executive Compensation

Role of Our Compensation Committee, Management, and the Board

The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to assist with the Board’s oversight responsibilities with respect to the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, policies and programs, administration of Company equity plans and its responsibilities related to the compensation of the Company’s executive officers, directors, and senior management, as appropriate.

The Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for establishing and reviewing our general compensation strategy. The Compensation Committee meets periodically throughout the year to, among other things, manage and evaluate our executive compensation program and generally determines on an annual basis the principal components of compensation (base salary, performance incentive, and equity awards) for our executive officers, which may be subject to final approval by our Board of Directors. However, decisions may occur at other times for new hires, promotions or other special circumstances as our Compensation Committee determines appropriate. The Compensation Committee does not delegate authority to approve executive officer compensation. Historically, the Compensation Committee has granted equity awards to executive officers when it determines appropriate, which typically includes when an executive officer is hired or promoted, when such grants are substantially vested, and at other times the Compensation Committee determines appropriate for retention or other purposes.

In addition to its independent compensation consultant, as described below under ‘‘Role of Compensation Consultant,’’ our Compensation Committee works with and receives information and analyses from management, including within our legal, finance, and human resources departments, and our Chief Executive Officer, and considers such information and analyses along with the information from its independent compensation consultant, in determining the structure and amount of compensation to be paid to our executive officers, including our named executive officers. Other than with respect to his own compensation, our Chief Executive Officer evaluates and provides to the Compensation Committee executive officer performance assessments and his recommendations and proposals regarding executive officer compensation programs and decisions affecting base salaries, performance incentives, equity compensation, and other compensation-related matters outside of the presence of any other named executive officers. Members of management, including our Chief Executive Officer, may attend portions of our Compensation Committee’s meetings. However, our Compensation Committee retains the final authority to make all compensation decisions. While the Chief Executive Officer discusses his recommendations with the Compensation Committee, he does not participate in the deliberations concerning, or the determination of, his own compensation.

From time to time, various other members of management and other employees, as well as outside advisors or consultants, may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, provide financial or other background information or advice, or otherwise participate in Compensation Committee or Board of Directors meetings.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee continued to retain Aon as its independent compensation consultant during fiscal 2026, due to its extensive analytical and compensation expertise relating to technology companies. In this capacity, Aon advised the Compensation Committee on compensation matters related to the executive and director compensation structure. In fiscal 2026, Aon assisted with, among other things:

•conducting an executive market pay analysis;

•developing a group of peer companies to use as a reference in making executive compensation decisions;

•evaluating current executive pay practices and considering alternative compensation programs;

•reviewing our director compensation policies and practices; and

•assisting in the development of this Compensation Disclosure and Analysis.

The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to engage and terminate Aon’s services, as well as to approve its compensation. Aon makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee but has no authority to

32.

make compensation decisions on behalf of the Compensation Committee or Zoom. Aon reported to the Compensation Committee and had direct access to the chairperson and the other members of the Compensation Committee. Beyond data and advice related to executive and director compensation matters, Aon did not provide other services to us in fiscal 2026.

The Compensation Committee has analyzed whether the work of Aon as the compensation consultant raised any conflict of interest, considering relevant factors in accordance with SEC guidelines. Based on its analysis, the Compensation Committee determined that the work of Aon and the individual compensation advisors has not created any conflict of interest.

Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data

The Compensation Committee believes that it is important when making compensation decisions to be informed as to the current practices of comparable public companies with which we compete for top talent. To this end, the Compensation Committee works annually with Aon to review and amend the list of our peer group companies to be used in connection with assessing compensation practices and pay levels. The Compensation Committee believes that the peer and market data provided by Aon, along with other factors, is an important reference point when setting compensation for our named executive officers because competition for executive management is intense in our industry and the retention of our talented leadership team is critical to our success.

Fiscal 2026 Peer Group

In August 2024, with recommendations from Aon, the Compensation Committee identified a group of companies that would be appropriate peers for fiscal 2026 compensation decisions, based on the following criteria:

•Industry: software and technology companies

•Market Capitalization: 0.3x to 3x of our market value

•Revenues: 0.5x to 3x of our revenues

The peer group of companies that the Compensation Committee referenced for the purpose of informing fiscal 2026 executive compensation decisions is listed below. At the time of review in August 2024, our trailing 12-month revenue was approximately $4.56 billion and our 30-day average market capitalization was approximately $17.99 billion.

Our Compensation Committee sets the compensation of our executive officers at levels it determines to be competitive and appropriate for each executive officer, using the professional experience and judgment of Compensation Committee members. Pay decisions are not made by use of a formulaic approach or benchmark. The Compensation Committee believes executive pay decisions require consideration of a multitude of relevant factors that may vary from year to year. In making executive compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee generally takes into consideration the following factors:

Zoom’s performance and existing business needs

Zoom’s culture and values

Each named executive officer’s individual performance, scope of job function and criticality of the skill set

The Compensation Committee’s independent judgment

The need to attract new talent and retain existing talent in a highly competitive industry

Each named executive officer’s current equity ownership and total compensation

Our Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations (for executive officers other than the CEO)

Aggregate compensation cost and impact on stockholder dilution

Internal pay equity

Recommendations from our compensation consultant

Fiscal 2026 Executive Compensation Program

Base Salary

The annual base salaries of each of our named executive officers for fiscal 2026 are listed below:

34.


Executive						Fiscal 2026 Base Salary
Eric S. Yuan						$450,000
Michelle Chang						$580,000
Aparna Bawa						$450,000
Velchamy Sankarlingam(1)						$468,000

_______________

(1) Effective August 1, 2025.

For fiscal 2026, the annual base salary for Mr. Yuan and Ms. Bawa remained at the same level as fiscal 2025. Mr. Sankarlingam’s annual base salary was increased by 4% effective August 1, 2025 to better align with market compensation. Ms. Chang’s annual base salary remained as is from when she joined the Company in October 2024. Each of Mr. Yuan’s, Ms. Bawa’s and Mr. Sankarlingam’s fiscal 2026 base salaries remained at or below the 50th percentile of market data.

Performance Cash Incentive

Our Officer Incentive Plan (the ‘‘Officer Incentive Plan’’) applies to certain key executives, including each of our named executive officers. The Officer Incentive Plan provides for the opportunity to earn cash incentive payments based upon the attainment of certain corporate, financial, or operational measures or objectives appropriate for the fiscal year. Each participant has a target annual performance incentive opportunity that corresponds to the achievement of 100% of the corporate performance goals. The corporate performance goals and incentive formulas are adopted annually by the Compensation Committee and communicated to each executive participant. If the corporate performance goals are met, the Compensation Committee will determine if incentive payments are made as soon as practicable thereafter.

Fiscal 2026 Target Amounts

For fiscal 2026, each of our named executive officers participated in the Officer Incentive Plan. In fiscal 2026, Ms. Chang’s target cash incentive bonus opportunity was 90% of her base salary, consistent with her target cash bonus opportunity in fiscal 2025. As discussed above, as part of our shift to using cash incentives for short-term performance goals rather than equity to align with market practice and reduce stock-based compensation expense, effective February 1, 2025 each of Mr. Yuan’s, Ms. Bawa’s and Mr. Sankarlingam’s target cash incentive bonus opportunity was increased from 8% of his or her respective base salary to 64%, 49% and 49% of his or her respective base salary.

The Compensation Committee increased cash bonus opportunities in fiscal 2026 and concurrently reduced the target grant values of annual performance-vesting RSU bonus awards as we transition to using cash incentives for short-term performance goals rather than annual performance-vesting RSU bonus awards, as we have done historically. The Compensation Committee made this adjustment in part due to feedback from our stockholders that they prefer we use cash for short-term performance incentives to align our practices with those of our peers and to help reduce dilution to stockholders generally.

Fiscal 2026 Performance Goals and Achievement

The Compensation Committee established revenue and non-GAAP income from operations as the corporate performance goals applicable to fiscal 2026. The Compensation Committee chose these metrics because they align with our primary objectives to drive revenue growth and operating performance and leverage. Non-GAAP income from operations is an important indicator of our ability to effectively manage operating expenses given our revenue growth. The Compensation Committee set the targets for revenue and non-GAAP income from operations at levels that the Compensation Committee determined to be rigorous and uncertain as of the time of approval in early fiscal 2026, after considering the complex macroeconomic environment and the likelihood of a range of business scenarios that could impact our performance. Our revenue and non-GAAP income from operations targets

35.

were set above actual revenue and non-GAAP income from operations achievement for fiscal 2025, given our expectations that we could, with effort, achieve increased revenue and non-GAAP income from operations year-over-year and was aligned with our external guidance for fiscal 2026.

Each of the annual corporate performance goals, their relative weightings, and payout methodology are summarized in the chart below. The cash incentive payout each participant could receive under the Officer Incentive Plan was capped at 200% of such participant’s target incentive.

(1) Non-GAAP Income from Operations is a non-GAAP financial measure, which represents the GAAP income (loss) from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, expenses related to charitable donation of common stock, impairment of assets, acquisition-related expenses, and litigation settlements, net. We exclude stock-based compensation expenses, expenses related to charitable donation of common stock, and impairment of assets, because they are non-cash in nature and excluding this expense provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies. We exclude the amount of employer payroll taxes related to employee stock plans, which is a cash expense, in order for investors to see the full effect that excluding stock-based compensation expense had on our operating results. In particular, this expense is dependent on the price of our common stock and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business. We view acquisition-related expenses when applicable, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, transaction costs, and acquisition-related retention payments that are directly related to business combinations, as events that are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. Restructuring expenses are expenses associated with a formal restructuring plan and may include employee notice period costs, severance payments, and other related expenses. We exclude these restructuring expenses because they are distinct from ongoing operational costs and we do not believe they are reflective of our current and expected future business performance and operating results. We exclude significant litigation settlements, net of amounts covered by insurance, that we deem not to be in the ordinary course of our business. In particular, we believe the consideration of measures that exclude such expenses can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods which may or may not include such expenses and assist in the comparison with the results of other companies in the industry.

(2) Payout funding for achievement between threshold, target and maximum achievement levels was determined under the following payout scale: for achievement levels between threshold and target, 20% payout funding would occur for each 1% (6% in the case of non-GAAP Income from Operations) of achievement above threshold; for achievement levels between target and maximum, the 100% target payout funding would be increased by 20% payout funding for each 2% (6% in the case of non-GAAP Income from Operations) of achievement above target, in each case with linear interpolation between such levels.

The Compensation Committee assessed the corporate performance goal achievement following the end of fiscal 2026 and approved payouts under the Officer Incentive Plan based solely on our performance relative to the corporate performance goals and our payout methodology described above. Accordingly, each of our NEOs received the following aggregate cash incentive bonus payments under the Officer Incentive Plan for fiscal 2026.

36.


Executive	Incentive Amount Paid	Percentage of Target Incentive
Eric S. Yuan	$295,488	102.6	%
Michelle Chang	$535,572	102.6	%
Aparna Bawa	$226,233	102.6	%
Velchamy Sankarlingam	$230,795	102.6	%

Equity Awards

Form of Awards. For fiscal 2026, the Compensation Committee determined RSUs to be the most appropriate incentive structure for our executive officers to deliver meaningful incentives that align our named executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders by providing a return directly in line with our stock price. The Compensation Committee granted performance-vesting RSU awards during fiscal 2026. RSUs cover fewer shares than stock options, minimize dilution to stockholders, are straightforward and understandable to our employees, and are the predominant type of equity award utilized by the peer companies with whom we compete for talent. Time-vesting RSU awards encourage retention through vesting over the recipient’s continued employment with us, while performance-vesting RSU awards incentivize and reward our executive officers for achieving pre-determined levels of performance.

Grant Date Timing. We generally grant equity awards on fixed dates determined in advance, although there may be occasions when grants are made on other dates, such as new hires or other special circumstances. The timing of equity award grants to our executive officers is not coordinated in a manner that intentionally benefits our executive officers. The Company does not grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar instruments with option-like features and has no policies or practices to disclose pursuant to Item 402(x)(1) of Regulation S-K.

Targeted Grant Value and Resulting Shares. The Compensation Committee typically approves a target dollar-denominated grant value for each equity award, which is then translated into the number of RSUs that are granted. We generally determine the number of RSUs underlying each grant by dividing the RSU target grant value by our average closing price over the 30-trading day period ending 14 calendar days prior to the grant date. The Compensation Committee generally uses a historical average closing market price to determine the number of shares subject to each equity award, rather than a single day stock price on the date of grant to provide a stabilized stock value less susceptible to possible swings in the market. The Compensation Committee understands that using a historical average stock price can result in the ultimate grant date fair value of an award as required to be reported in the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table under ASC 718 being higher or lower than the target grant value but has considered this, in consultation with Aon, and determined that the process described above is the most appropriate as a general practice for us at this time.

Equity Grant Programs. We generally grant equity awards to our named executive officers under the same programs and methodology that apply to all employees across our organization, which we believe builds trust, transparency, and teamwork. Our equity programs continue to evolve, and our Compensation Committee continues to evaluate the most appropriate compensation programs to attract and retain employees and motivate and reward them for our long-term performance.

New Hire Awards, Refresh Awards and Transition to Annual Refresh Program. We have typically granted equity awards upon an executive officer’s commencement of employment or promotion that vest over a four-year period, followed by four-year ‘‘refresh’’ grants when these awards are substantially or fully vested, or otherwise not providing sufficient retention and incentive for our employees.

In fiscal 2026, we announced our transition to an annual equity grant refresh program beginning in fiscal 2027. These annual refresh awards will be approximately one-fourth the size of the previous refresh grants that were made under the four-year program, but will still vest over four years. To assist filling in the gap in value while older refresh grants continue to vest and new annual grants build in value, we expect to grant transition awards of varying sizes and vesting schedules depending on when an employee’s four-year refresh grant's last vesting date is scheduled

37.

to occur. Mr. Yuan received a transition grant in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 as part of the transition to the annual refresh program.

Annual Performance-Vesting RSU Bonus Awards. In April 2025, we granted the annual RSU bonus awards entirely in the form of performance-vesting RSU awards. These awards are intended to supplement our annual cash incentive program, are eligible to vest after one year (if performance goals are met) and therefore are sized significantly smaller than new hire and ‘‘refresh’’ awards. In fiscal 2026, we decreased the size of the performance-vesting RSUs in favor of an increased cash incentive program. The Compensation Committee designed the performance-vesting RSU awards to align closely to our strategy to drive revenue growth and operating performance and leverage. As such, the Compensation Committee adopted annual revenue and non-GAAP income from operations as the performance metrics applicable to the performance-vesting RSU awards. The Compensation Committee structured these metrics to be the same as those used under our Officer Incentive Plan due to their importance to our business and because the awards were intended to supplement our annual incentive program, to provide further incentive to our employees to deliver results. While target levels of achievement of the performance metrics were the same as under the Officer Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee made two changes for the performance-vesting RSUs: it raised the threshold level of achievement necessary for any RSUs to vest, and it capped payout at 100% of target. The Compensation Committee also considered the fact that the substantial majority of equity incentives held by our named executive officers consisted of long-term equity incentives, which provided an appropriate balance to short-term incentive opportunities.

The performance-vesting RSU awards granted to each of our NEOs (excluding Ms. Chang) reflect amounts that, when combined with the annual target cash incentive opportunity, make these NEOs’ annual incentive compensation more competitive with those offered by our peer companies. To promote fairness and teamwork, our Compensation Committee structured the size of awards to be consistent for employees at similar levels. All NEO awards reflected half of the target grant values as the annual RSU bonus awards approved in fiscal 2025. The target grant values of the annual performance-vesting RSU bonus awards granted to each of our NEOs in April 2025 are set forth in the following table. Achievement was capped at 100% of target.


Executive	Award Target Grant Value
Eric S. Yuan	$	500,000
Michelle Chang	Not Eligible
Aparna Bawa	$	375,000
Velchamy Sankarlingam	$	375,000

In February 2026, the Compensation Committee evaluated the Company’s performance against the relevant metrics and determined the number of performance-vesting RSUs that are eligible to vest (the ‘‘certified RSUs’’) based on level of achievement. Each of the metrics applicable to our annual performance-vesting RSU awards, their relative weightings and payout methodology are summarized in the chart below.

Other Features of Our Executive Compensation Program

Employment Offer Letters

We maintain employee offer letters with each of our named executive officers that set forth the initial terms and conditions of their employment, including position, base salary and severance benefits described below. The terms of each of our named executive officers’ incentive opportunities are governed by our Officer Incentive Plan described above. Each of our named executive officers is an at-will employee.

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

39.

Each of our named executive officers is eligible for severance benefits upon certain types of involuntary termination events, including involuntary terminations in connection with a change in control of our Company. The Compensation Committee believes severance benefits are important from a retention perspective to provide some level of protection to our executive officers who might be terminated involuntarily, including in connection with a change in control and that the amounts are reasonable and maintain the competitiveness of our executive compensation and retention program. Further, the Compensation Committee believes this structure serves to mitigate the distraction and loss of key executive officers that may occur in connection with potential or actual change in control. These payments protect the interests of our stockholders by enhancing executive focus, including during potential change in control activity, retaining executives despite the uncertainty that generally exists while a transaction is under consideration and encouraging the executives responsible for negotiating potential transactions to do so with independence and objectivity. We do not have any agreements with our named executive officers guaranteeing any tax gross-up payments on severance or change in control benefits.

We maintain a Severance and Change in Control Plan (the ‘‘Severance Plan’’) that provides severance protection to certain of our employees, including each of our named executive officers. The Severance Plan provides for ‘‘double trigger’’ benefits upon involuntary terminations that occur in connection with a change in control and limited equity acceleration benefits upon an involuntary termination that occurs outside of the change-in-control context.

A more detailed description of the Severance Plan and each of our named executive officer’s potential payments and benefits upon a termination or change in control is provided below under ‘‘Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.’’

401(k) Plan, ESPP, Welfare and Health Benefits

We maintain a 401(k) plan that provides eligible U.S. employees, including our named executive officers, with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Participants may make voluntary contributions from their eligible pay up to statutory limits, and we have the ability to make discretionary matching and discretionary employer contributions. For fiscal 2026, we made (i) a discretionary matching employer contribution equal to 50% of each participant’s deferral contributions up to 3% of the participant’s eligible compensation, and (ii) a true-up discretionary matching contribution in the same amount for participants employed on the last working day of the plan year.

We also offer our employees, including our named executive officers, the opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount under our 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ‘‘ESPP.’’ Pursuant to the ESPP, all eligible employees, including the eligible named executive officers, may allocate up to 20% of the participant’s earnings (as defined in the ESPP) for a purchase period to purchase our Class A common stock at a 15% discount to the market price, subject to specified limits. Mr. Yuan is not currently eligible to participate in the ESPP because he owns, directly and indirectly, shares of our common stock comprising more than five percent of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company.

In addition, we provide other benefits to our executive officers, including the named executive officers, on the same basis as to all of our full-time employees. These benefits include, but are not limited to, medical, dental, vision, life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans. We pay the premiums for the life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment insurance for all of our employees, including our named executive officers.

We design our employee benefits programs to be affordable and competitive in relation to the market, as well as compliant with applicable laws and practices. We adjust our employee benefits programs as needed based upon regular monitoring of applicable laws and practices and the competitive market.

40.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Our named executive officers are eligible to receive the benefits we provide to all of our employees, including our payment of premiums for term life insurance and disability insurance, subject to certain limitations.

Currently, we do not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of our executive compensation program. Accordingly, we do not generally provide perquisites or other personal benefits to our executive officers, including the named executive officers, except in situations where we believe it is appropriate to assist an individual in the performance of his or her duties, to make our executive officers more efficient and effective, for recruitment and retention purposes or to ensure their safety and security.

Due to the nature of our business and Mr. Yuan’s high public profile as our founder and CEO, we pay for costs related to security for Mr. Yuan at his personal residence and when he travels for both business and non-business reasons, including the cost of ground transportation to address safety concerns for Mr. Yuan. The Compensation Committee believes that these measures are reasonable, necessary, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as they enable Mr. Yuan to focus fully on our business and help protect him and the continuity of our operations. Our security practices for Mr. Yuan’s transportation and personal security are consistent with best practices as assessed by an independent third-party security firm. As assessed, Mr. Yuan is inextricably linked to Zoom’s activities and stability. Therefore, we implement certain security procedures for Mr. Yuan as part of the overall security plan to mitigate risk of harm.

In fiscal 2026, we provided Ms. Chang with a tax equalization payment of $99,098 related to compensation allocated to her in the State of California. Ms. Chang resides in the State of Washington and as part of her role she is required to regularly travel, specifically to the Company's headquarters in California. The Company assisted with the payment of her non-resident taxes as a result of her required business travel.

In the future, we may provide perquisites or other personal benefits in limited circumstances. All future practices with respect to perquisites or other personal benefits will be approved and subject to periodic review by the Compensation Committee.

Pension Benefits

Other than with respect to our 401(k) plan, our U.S. employees, including our named executive officers, do not participate in any plan that provides for retirement payments and benefits, or payments and benefits that will be provided primarily following retirement.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Under ASC 718, we are required to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the vesting period of the award. We record share-based compensation expense on an ongoing basis according to ASC 718. The accounting impact of our compensation programs is one of many factors that the Compensation Committee considers in determining the structure and size of our executive compensation programs.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Under Section 162(m) of the Code ("Section 162(m)"), compensation paid to any publicly held corporation’s ‘‘covered employees’’ that exceeds $1 million per taxable year for any covered employee is generally non-deductible unless the compensation qualifies for the reliance period exception for certain compensation paid by corporations that became publicly held on or before December 20, 2019.

Although the Compensation Committee will continue to consider tax implications as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to provide compensation for the Company’s named executive officers in a

41.

manner consistent with the goals of the Company’s executive compensation program and the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, which may include providing for compensation that is not deductible by the Company due to the deduction limit under Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee also retains the flexibility to modify compensation that was initially intended to be exempt from the deduction limit under Section 162(m) if it determines that such modifications are consistent with the Company’s business needs.

Other Compensation Policies and Practices

Clawback Policies

We voluntarily adopted an incentive compensation recoupment (the ‘‘Recoupment Policy’’) ahead of final guidance by the SEC regarding the clawback rules required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the ‘‘SEC Clawback Rules’’). Under the Recoupment Policy, if an officer’s misconduct contributes to our having to prepare an accounting restatement to correct an error material to our previously issued financial statements, we may seek to recover incentive compensation (which may include cash bonus or incentive compensation, certain outstanding equity awards or severance or change in control compensation) that was granted, vested or paid during the 12-month period preceding the restatement obligation as noted above. Our Board of Directors has the authority and discretion to determine whether an event covered by the Recoupment Policy has occurred and, depending on the facts and circumstances, may (but need not) require full or partial forfeiture and/or prepayment of the incentive compensation described above.

In November 2023, we adopted a clawback policy (the ‘‘Clawback Policy’’) that complies with the listing standards adopted by Nasdaq that implement the SEC Clawback Rules and applies to our executive officers (as defined in applicable SEC Clawback Rules). The Clawback Policy requires the Company to recover from covered executive officers the amount of erroneously awarded compensation resulting from an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. The Clawback Policy applies to incentive compensation that is received by a covered officer on or after October 2, 2023, as further described in the Clawback Policy, which is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition to the above, as a public company, if we are required to restate our financial results due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws as a result of misconduct, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer may be legally required to reimburse us for any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation they receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Policy Prohibiting Hedging and Pledging of Our Equity Securities

Our insider trading policy prohibits our employees, including our executive officers and directors, from engaging in short sales, hedging of stock ownership positions, and transactions involving derivative securities relating to our common stock; pledging Company securities as collateral for loans; and holding Company securities in margin accounts.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee has reviewed our compensation policies and practices, in consultation with Aon and outside counsel, to assess whether they encourage employees to take inappropriate risks. After conducting this review of compensation-related risk, the Compensation Committee has concluded that our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

Compensation Committee Report*

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (the ‘‘CD&A’’) contained in this proxy statement. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee has recommended to our Board of Directors that the CD&A be included in this proxy statement and incorporated into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

(1)The amounts reported in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of stock awards granted in each respective fiscal year as determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. These amounts may not actually reflect to the actual value that will be realized by our NEOs. The assumptions used to calculate the value of stock awards are set forth under Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. The amounts for the performance-vesting RSU awards granted in fiscal year 2026 included within the total amount in this column reflect the grant date fair value based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date. Assuming our achievement of maximum performance, the grant date fair value of the performance-vesting RSU awards granted in fiscal year 2026 to Mr. Yuan, Ms. Bawa, and Mr. Sankarlingam would have been $464,021.80, $348,016.35 and $348,016.35, respectively.

(1)Represents the range of possible payouts to our NEOs for fiscal 2026 under the Officer Incentive Plan as further described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

(2)Represents the performance-vesting RSU awards granted under the 2019 Plan that could be earned at the threshold, target and maximum levels of performance. The performance-vesting RSU awards were to be earned based upon the Company’s achievement of revenue and non-GAAP income from operations, as described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Fiscal 2026 Executive Compensation Program-Equity Awards” above. Ultimately, the performance-vesting RSU awards could be earned from 0% (if threshold levels of performance were not achieved) to a maximum of 100% of target.

(3) The grant date fair value of each equity award is computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718. The amounts reported in this column reflect the accounting cost for these RSUs and do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by each NEO upon the vesting or settlement of the RSUs.

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2026 Fiscal Year-End

The following table sets forth the outstanding and exercisable and unexercisable stock options and unvested RSU awards held by our named executive officers as of January 31, 2026. The market value for the stock awards was calculated by multiplying the number of shares of our common stock subject to each award by $92.10, which was the closing market price of our common stock on January 30, 2026, the last trading day of fiscal 2026.

(1)The market value is based on the closing price on The Nasdaq Stock Exchange on January 30, 2026, the last trading day of fiscal 2026, of $92.10.

(2)6.25% of the shares subject to the award vest in 16 equal quarterly installments after the grant date, subject to the NEO's continuous service with us as of each such vesting date.

(3)100% of the shares subject to the award vest in 12 equal quarterly installments, subject to the NEO’s continuous service with us through each such date.

(4)Reflects performance-vesting RSUs earned for performance in fiscal 2026. 100% of the shares subject to the award will vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, subject to the NEO's continuous service with us as of such vesting date.

(5)One-fourth of the shares subject to the award vested on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and an additional 6.25% of the RSUs vest each quarter thereafter, subject to the NEO’s continuous service with us as of each such vesting date.

(6)100% of the shares subject to the award vest in 16 equal quarterly installments beginning on July 9, 2024, subject to the NEO’s continuous service with us as of each such vesting date.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested in Fiscal 2026

The following table shows for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, certain information regarding option exercises and stock vested during the last fiscal year with respect to our named executive officers:

	Stock Awards
Name	Number of Shares Acquired on Vesting (#)	Value Realized on Vesting ($)(1)
Eric S. Yuan	288,908	22,319,076
Michelle Chang	111,086	8,999,076
Aparna Bawa	96,888	7,415,229
Velchamy Sankarlingam	122,449	9,503,774

_______________

(1)The value realized on vesting is determined by multiplying the number of vested RSUs by the closing price of our Class A common stock on the vesting date. The value realized on vesting does not reflect the actual value received by each NEO because a portion of the shares reflected in the table above were sold to satisfy the NEO’s tax withholding obligations.

Employment, Severance and Change in Control Agreements

We have entered into offer letters with each of our named executive officers. In December 2018, we entered into a confirmatory offer letter with each of Mr. Yuan and Ms. Bawa. We entered into an offer letter with Mr. Sankarlingam in May 2020 and with Ms. Chang in September 2024. The offer letters have no specific term and provide for at-will employment and “double trigger” severance benefits upon an involuntary termination in connection with a change in control, as described below under “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

We maintain a Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”) that was adopted in August 2022 and provides severance protection to certain Company employees, including each of our named executive officers. The Severance Plan generally replaces and supersedes the severance and change in control benefits in our named executive officers’ offer letters. The Severance Plan provides that, upon an involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good reason, in each case, within the change-in-control period (3 months prior to, or 12 months following, a change in control), the named executive officer will be entitled to receive, subject to the execution and delivery of an effective release of claims in our favor, (1) a cash payment equal to six months of annual base salary; (2) continued COBRA premium payments for six months following termination; and (3) 100% acceleration of any then-outstanding equity awards. The Severance Plan also provides that upon an involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good reason, in each case, outside of the change in control period, each of our named executive officers will be entitled to 12 months of acceleration of vesting for outstanding and unvested time-based equity awards. The terms “cause,” “good reason” and “change in control” are defined as set forth in the Severance Plan.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Each of our named executive officers is eligible for severance benefits pursuant to the terms of our Severance and Change in Control Plan, as further described above under “Employment Severance and Change in Control Benefits.” In addition, each of our named executive officers hold equity awards that are subject to the terms of the equity incentive plan under which such awards were granted and the relevant award agreement thereunder. The following table presents information concerning estimated payments and benefits that would be provided in the circumstances described below for each of the named executive officers serving as of the end of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. The payments and benefits set forth below are estimated assuming that the termination or change in control event occurred on the last business day of our fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 using the closing market price of our Class A common stock on January 30, 2026, which was the last trading day of fiscal 2026. Actual payments and benefits could be different if such events were to occur on any other date or at any other price or if any other assumptions are used to estimate potential payments and benefits.

_______________

(1)An “involuntary termination” means a termination without cause or a resignation for good reason and other than due to death or disability. An involuntary termination that occurs three months prior to, or twelve months following a change in control is considered occurring “in connection with” such change in control for purposes of each of the NEO’s severance benefits listed above.

(2)Represents six months of the NEO's annual base salary.

(3)Represents six months of potential COBRA premiums, which if elected by executive would be paid on their behalf.

(4)The value of equity acceleration is calculated based on the closing price of $92.10 per share of our Class A common stock as of January 30, 2026, the last trading day of fiscal 2026, multiplied by the number of unvested RSUs subject to acceleration. All of the unvested outstanding equity awards held by our NEOs as of January 31, 2026 were RSUs.

(5)The benefits represent vesting of the performance-vesting RSUs at 100% of target.

(6)For purposes of the performance-vesting RSUs, “involuntary termination” means a termination without cause and other than due to death or disability. These benefits include vesting of the performance-vesting RSUs at 100% of target based on actual achievement, pursuant to the terms of the performance-vesting RSUs, which benefits were subject to the execution and delivery of an effective release of claims in our favor.

(7)These benefits represent full equity acceleration of all awards under the terms of the 2019 Plan if, upon a corporate transaction (as defined in the 2019 Plan), the equity awards will terminate and will not be assumed or continued by the successor or acquirer entity or substituted for a similar award of the successor or acquirer entity and the NEOs do not terminate employment prior to such corporate transaction. For a description of the potential vesting acceleration provisions in the 2019 Plan, see “Equity Plans – 2019 Equity Incentive Plan” below.

(8)These benefits represent full equity acceleration of all RSU awards upon death or disability of a NEO, pursuant to the terms of the RSU agreements provided to NEOs under the 2019 Plan.

(9)Ms. Bawa resigned from the Company effective May 8, 2026 and is not entitled to any severance payments or benefits in connection with her resignation.

Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our median employee and the annual total compensation of our CEO.

Our pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules. The SEC’s regulations for identifying the median employee, calculating annual total compensation and determining the pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, exemptions, estimates and assumptions. Therefore, our pay ratio disclosure may not be comparable to that reported by other companies, as other companies not only have different employee populations and compensation practices but also may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

For purposes of our pay ratio calculation, we determined that there were no changes to our employee population or to our employee compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly impact the pay ratio disclosure, allowing us to use the same median employee identified in our proxy statement for fiscal year 2025. We then calculated that employee’s annual total compensation in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K. As disclosed in our proxy statement for fiscal year 2025, the median employee we originally

47.

identified for purposes of our pay ratio disclosure for fiscal year 2024 left the Company, and we substituted another employee whose compensation is substantially similar to the original median employee for purposes of our pay ratio disclosure for fiscal year 2025.

As disclosed in our proxy statement for fiscal year 2024, to identify the median employee for purposes of our pay ratio disclosure for fiscal year 2024, the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates that we used were as follows:

•We examined the compensation of all of our full-time and part-time employees (other than our CEO) as of November 1, 2023 including individuals employed through a third-party provider. We did not include any independent contractors or contingent workers in our employee population for purposes of this determination.

•To identify our median employee, we utilized a consistently applied compensation measure consisting of base salary paid, bonus or commission payments made and the grant date fair value, calculated in accordance with ASC 718, of equity awards granted, in each case during the period from February 1, 2023 through November 1, 2023. We selected this compensation measure as it captures the principal forms of compensation delivered to our employees and this information is readily available with respect to our employees.

•We annualized the base salary and commission payments for employees who were employed for less than the full fiscal year and then pro-rated these amounts to reflect the period from February 1, 2023 through November 1, 2023.

•For employees paid other than in U.S. dollars, we converted their compensation to U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates in effect as of November 1, 2023. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments for employees outside of the United States.

As set forth in the Summary Compensation Table, our CEO’s annual total compensation for fiscal 2026 was $1,280,858. The median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (except for our CEO) for fiscal 2026 was $165,164, resulting in a CEO to median employee pay ratio of approximately 7.8:1.

Item 402(v) Pay Versus Performance

The disclosure included in this section is prescribed by SEC rules and does not necessarily align with how we or our Compensation Committee view the link between our performance and our named executive officers’ pay. For additional information about our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with Company performance, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section.

Required Tabular Disclosure of Pay Versus Performance

The amounts set forth below under the headings “Compensation Actually Paid to PEO” and “Average Compensation Actually Paid to non-PEO NEOs” have been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Use of the term “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) is required by the SEC’s rules and as a result of the calculation methodology required by the SEC, such amounts differ from compensation actually received by the individuals and the compensation decisions described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above.

(4) Total shareholder return (“TSR”) is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100 on January 31, 2021. Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between our stock price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by our share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

(5) Represents the weighted peer group cumulative TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. As permitted by SEC rules, the peer group used for this purpose is the group of companies included in the NASDAQ Computer Index, which is the industry peer group used in our Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. The separate peer group used by the Compensation Committee as a reference point in determining compensation arrangements with our executive officers is described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis―How We Determine Executive Compensation―Fiscal 2026 Peer Group” above.

Revenue is one component of our annual performance bonus program in which our NEOs participate and is further described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above. We may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. Our stock price may have a more prominent impact on our CAP year-over-year than Revenue.

Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

We have based percentage ownership of our capital stock on 265,368,026 shares of our Class A common stock and 28,703,589 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding on March 31, 2026. We have deemed shares of our common stock subject to stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2026 or issuable pursuant to RSUs which are subject to vesting and settlement conditions to occur within 60 days of March 31, 2026 to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the stock option or RSU for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

We currently have a written related person transaction policy that sets forth our procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of related person transactions. For purposes of our policy only, a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we and any related person are, were or will be participants and in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee or director are not considered related person transactions under this policy. A transaction, arrangement or relationship in which a related person’s participation is solely due to such related person’s position as a director of an entity that is participating in such transaction, arrangement or relationship would not be considered a related party transaction under this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and any entity controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related person transaction, including any transaction that was not a related person transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related person transaction prior to consummation, our management must present information regarding the related person transaction to the Audit Committee for review, consideration and approval or ratification. The presentation must include a description of, among other things: all of the parties to the transaction; the material facts of the proposed transaction; the interests, direct and indirect, of the related persons; the purpose of the transaction; the benefits to us of the transaction; whether the transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to or from, as the case may be, an unrelated third party or to or from employees generally; and management’s recommendation with respect to the proposed transaction. Under the policy, we will collect information that we deem reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant stockholder to enable us to identify any existing or potential related person transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy.

APPENDIX A

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This proxy statement contains information regarding non-GAAP income from operations, which is not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). We use non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP income from operations, is useful as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP income from operations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided below.

Non-GAAP Income from Operations

We define non-GAAP income from operations as income from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, expenses related to charitable donation of common stock, impairment of assets, acquisition-related expenses, and litigation settlements, net. We exclude stock-based compensation expenses, expenses related to charitable donation of common stock, and impairment of assets, because they are non-cash in nature and excluding this expense provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and allows investors the ability to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies. We exclude the amount of employer payroll taxes related to employee stock plans, which is a cash expense, in order for investors to see the full effect that excluding stock-based compensation expense had on our operating results. In particular, this expense is dependent on the price of our common stock and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business. We view acquisition-related expenses when applicable, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, transaction costs, and acquisition-related retention payments that are directly related to business combinations, as events that are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. Restructuring expenses are expenses associated with a formal restructuring plan and may include employee notice period costs, severance payments, and other related expenses. We exclude these restructuring expenses because they are distinct from ongoing operational costs and we do not believe they are reflective of our current and expected future business performance and operating results. We exclude significant litigation settlements, net of amounts covered by insurance, that we deem not to be in the ordinary course of our business. In particular, we believe the consideration of measures that exclude such expenses can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods which may or may not include such expenses and assist in the comparison with the results of other companies in the industry.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our non-GAAP income from operations to our GAAP income from operations as of the period presented:


	Year Ended January 31,
	2026			2025
	(in millions)
GAAP income from operations	$	1,124		$	813
Add:
Stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes	797			967
Litigation settlements, net	(18)		)	16
Acquisition-related expenses	25			42
