(d)

Following the recommendation of Docusign, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Board appointed Rowan Trollope to fill an existing vacancy on the Board to serve as a director of the Company, effective May 2, 2026. Mr. Trollope will serve as a Class III director whose term will expire at the Company’s 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is the next stockholder meeting at which Class III directors will be elected, and until Mr. Trollope’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until Mr. Trollope’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. The Board determined that Mr. Trollope qualifies as an independent director pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Mr. Trollope, 53, has served as the Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the board of directors of Redis, Inc., a database services company, since February 2023. From May 2018 to December 2022, Mr. Trollope served as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the board of directors of Five9, Inc., an intelligent cloud software provider. From October 2015 to May 2018, Mr. Trollope served as Senior Vice President and General Manager, Applications Group at Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”), an information technology company. From 2012 to October 2015, Mr. Trollope served as Senior Vice President and General Manager, Collaboration Technology Group at Cisco. Mr. Trollope also previously served on the boards of directors of Smartsheet, an enterprise work management platform, until its acquisition by Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners, and VeriFone Systems, Inc., a payment and commerce solutions provider, until its acquisition by Francisco Partners. We believe that Mr. Trollope possesses specific attributes that qualify him to serve as a member of the Board, including his extensive experience in the enterprise software and technology industries and as a public company CEO and board member.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Trollope and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Trollope was selected as a director. Mr. Trollope has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Trollope will receive compensation for his service as a member of the Board in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Director Compensation Program, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 7, 2023.

Mr. Trollope will enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnity agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 3, 2020.
