Key Terms

Class B common stock, broker non-votes, say-on-pay, clawback policy, +1 more

5 terms

Class B common stock financial

"Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to five votes on each proposal."

A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.

broker non-votes financial

"Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present."

Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.

say-on-pay financial

"Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires that we provide our stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers."

A say-on-pay is a shareholder vote that gives investors a chance to approve or disapprove a company’s executive compensation packages, typically held at annual meetings. It matters because the vote signals investor satisfaction with how leaders are paid—like customers rating how well managers are rewarded—and can push boards to change pay plans, reducing governance risk and affecting investor confidence and stock value even though the vote is usually advisory rather than legally binding.

clawback policy financial

"Our board of directors has adopted the Company’s Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”)."

A clawback policy is a company rule that lets the firm take back pay, bonuses or stock awards from current or former executives if results are later found to be incorrect, misconduct occurred, or targets were missed. It matters to investors because it helps protect the value of their holdings by discouraging risky or fraudulent behavior and ensuring executive rewards reflect real, verified performance—think of it as a return policy for executive pay.

householding regulatory

"We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved."

Why you received this proxy statement.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT

THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is April 15, 2026. Holders of either class of our common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 103,777,440 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding and 28,802,160 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 five 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.

What is the difference between being a “Registered Holder” and holding shares in “street name” as a “Beneficial Holder”?

A “Registered Holder” is a stockholder of the Company that holds shares in such stockholder’s name as of the close of business on the Record Date. A “Beneficial Holder” is a stockholder of the Company that holds, as of the close of business on the Record Date, shares in “street name,” meaning the shares are held in the name of a bank or broker on a person’s behalf.

Am I entitled to vote if I am a Beneficial Holder that holds my shares in “street name” through a bank or broker?

Yes. If your shares are held by a bank or a brokerage firm, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm, along with a voting instruction form. As the Beneficial Holder, you have the right to direct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares, and the bank or brokerage firm is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions.

Alternatively, you may vote your shares by attending the Annual Meeting and voting during the Annual Meeting. Please see “What will I need in order to attend the Annual Meeting?” below for instructions on how to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares.

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The holders of a majority in voting power of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

2026 Proxy Statement 4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?

It means that your shares are held in more than one account at the transfer agent and/or with banks or brokers. Please vote all of your shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each set of proxy materials, please submit your proxy by phone, via the internet, or by mail.

How can I vote my shares, and participate, at the Annual Meeting?

This year’s Annual Meeting will be held entirely online to allow greater participation. Stockholders may participate in the Annual Meeting by visiting the following website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AMPL2026. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability, on your proxy card, or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. Shares held in your name as the Registered Holder may be voted electronically during the Annual Meeting. Shares for which you are the Beneficial Holder but not the Registered Holder also may be voted electronically during the Annual Meeting. However, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

To vote your shares without attending the Annual Meeting, please follow the instructions for internet or telephone voting on the Notice of Internet Availability. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may also vote by signing and submitting your proxy card and returning it by mail, if you are the Registered Holder, or by signing the voter instruction form provided by your bank or broker and returning it by mail, if you are the Beneficial Holder but not the Registered Holder. This way your shares will be represented whether or not you are able to attend the Annual Meeting.

What will I need in order to attend the Annual Meeting?

You are entitled to attend the virtual Annual Meeting only if you were a Registered Holder as of the Record Date, or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. You may attend the Annual Meeting, vote and submit a question during the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AMPL2026 and using your 16-digit control number to enter the meeting. If you are not a Registered Holder but hold shares as a Beneficial Holder in street name, you may be required to provide proof of beneficial ownership, such as your most recent account statement as of the Record Date, a copy of the voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not comply with the procedures outlined above, you will not be admitted to the virtual Annual Meeting.

How can I submit a question at the Annual Meeting?

If you want to submit a question during the Annual Meeting, log-in to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AMPL2026, type your question in the “Ask a Question” field and click “Submit.” Appropriate questions pertinent to meeting matters will be read and answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints. The questions and answers will be available as soon as practical after the Annual Meeting at investors.amplitude.com and will remain available for one week after posting.

2026 Proxy Statement 5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What is a proxy?

A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy, that designation also is called a “proxy” or, if in a written document, a “proxy card.” Spenser Skates and Andrew Casey have been designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting.

Can I change my vote after I submit my proxy?

Yes. If you are a Registered Holder, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote:

• by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date;

• by granting a subsequent proxy through the internet or by phone;

• by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting; or

• by voting online at the Annual Meeting.

Your most recent proxy card or internet or telephone proxy is the one that is counted. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company before your proxy is voted or you vote online at the Annual Meeting as described above.

If your shares are held in street name (i.e., if you are a Beneficial Holder), you may change or revoke your voting instructions by following the specific directions provided to you by your bank or broker, or you may vote online at the Annual Meeting.

Who will count the votes? Is my vote confidential?

A representative of Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions will act as Inspector of Elections, supervise the voting, decide the validity of proxies, and receive and tabulate proxies. As a matter of policy, we keep confidential all stockholder meeting proxies, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders. In addition, the vote of any stockholder is not disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. See “Recommendations of the Board” above.

Will any other business be conducted at the Annual Meeting?

We know of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting, however, the proxy holders named on the Company’s proxy card will vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment.

2026 Proxy Statement 6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Why hold a virtual meeting instead of a physical meeting?

Our Board believes that holding a virtual Annual Meeting will facilitate stockholder attendance and participation at our Annual Meeting by enabling stockholders to participate from any location around the world. With this live audio-only webcast format, we believe we will provide you with substantially the same opportunities to participate as you would have at an in-person meeting, including the right to vote and ask questions during the Annual Meeting through the virtual meeting platform.

What if I have trouble accessing the Annual Meeting virtually?

The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Participants should ensure that they have a strong internet connection wherever they intend to participate in the Annual Meeting.

We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting 15 minutes prior to the start time. If you need further assistance accessing the Annual Meeting, technical support numbers will be posted on the Annual Meeting website.

How many votes are required for the approval of the proposals to be voted upon and how will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?

	Proposal			Votes Required			Effect of Votes Withheld/ Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
	Proposal 1: To elect Pat Grady, Curtis Liu, and Catherine Wong as Class II Directors, to serve until the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until each such director’s respective successor is elected and qualified			A plurality of the votes cast. This means that the three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class II Directors.			Votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect.
	Proposal 2: To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026			The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes).			Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect. We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.

2026 Proxy Statement 7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What is a “vote withheld” and an “abstention,” and how will votes withheld and abstentions be treated?

A “vote withheld,” in the case of the proposal regarding the election of directors, or an “abstention,” in the case of the proposal regarding the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm or the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers, represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Votes withheld and abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Votes withheld have no effect on the election of directors. Abstentions have no effect on the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP or the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers.

What are “broker non-votes,” and do they count for determining a quorum?

Generally, “broker non-votes” occur when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a Beneficial Holder are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (i) has not received voting instructions from the Beneficial Holder and (ii) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a Beneficial Holder on “routine” matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from the Beneficial Holder of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a Beneficial Holder on “non-routine matters,” such as the election of directors (even if not contested) or the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers. Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

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

We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting, and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

2026 Proxy Statement 8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors

We currently have eight directors on our Board. At the Annual Meeting, three Class II Directors—Pat Grady, Curtis Liu, and Catherine Wong—are nominees to be elected to hold office until the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until each such director’s respective successor is elected and qualified or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation, or removal.

The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class II Directors. Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

As set forth in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board is currently divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. The current class structure is as follows: Class I, whose term will expire at the 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; Class II, whose term will expire at the Annual Meeting; and Class III, whose current term expires at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The current Class I Directors are Erica Schultz, Spenser Skates, and Tien Tzuo; the current Class II Directors are Pat Grady, Curtis Liu, and Catherine Wong; and the current Class III Directors are Ron Gill and James Whitehurst. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that each class will consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors.

The division of our Board into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of our company. Our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company entitled to vote at an election of directors.

If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares of common stock represented thereby for the election of each of Messrs. Grady and Liu, and Ms. Wong as a Class II Director. In the event that any of Messrs. Grady and Liu and Ms. Wong should become unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board, or the Board may elect to reduce its size. The Board has no reason to believe that any of Messrs. Grady and Liu or Ms. Wong will be unable to serve if elected. Each of Messrs. Grady and Liu and Ms. Wong has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than three at the Annual Meeting, the number of nominees named in this proxy statement.

Vote Required

The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class II Directors.

Votes withheld and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Proposal No. 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Our Board has directed that this appointment be submitted to our stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Although ratification of our appointment of KPMG LLP is not required, we value the opinions of our stockholders and believe that stockholder ratification of our appointment is a good corporate governance practice.

KPMG LLP also served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2017. Neither the accounting firm nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in, or any connection with, us in any capacity other than as our auditors, providing audit and non-audit related services. A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to attend the Annual Meeting and to have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

In the event that the appointment of KPMG LLP is not ratified by the stockholders, the Audit Committee will consider this fact when it determines whether to retain KPMG LLP. Even if the appointment of KPMG LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change is in the interest of the Company.

Vote Required

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. Abstentions are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

Proposal No. 3: Approve, on an Advisory (Non-Binding) Basis, the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers

Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires that we provide our stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, not less frequently than once every three years, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in our annual proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC.

As described in detail under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” we seek to closely align the interests of our named executive officers with the interest of our stockholders. Our compensation program is designed to reward our named executive officers for the achievement of short-term and long-term financial, operational, and strategic goals and the achievement of increased total stockholder return, while at the same time avoiding the encouragement of unnecessary or excessive risk-taking.

Stockholders are urged to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation” sections of this proxy statement, which discuss how our executive compensation policies and practices implement our compensation philosophy and contain tabular information and narrative discussion about the compensation of our named executive officers. Our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee believe that these policies and practices are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving our compensation program goals.

The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies, and practices described in this proxy statement. The vote is advisory, which means that the vote is not binding on the Company, our Board of Directors, or our Compensation Committee. Although non-binding, our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee value the opinions that stockholders express in their votes and will review the voting results and take them into consideration as they deem appropriate when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation program. Unless our Board of Directors or our Compensation Committee modifies the determination that future votes on the compensation of our named executive officers shall be held annually, the next advisory vote will be held at our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”), and charters for our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and to serve as a framework for the effective governance of the Company. You can access our current committee charters, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and our Code of Conduct in the “Governance Documents” section of the investor relations section of our corporate website located at investors.amplitude.com, or by writing to our Secretary at our offices at 201 3rd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, California 94103.

Board Composition

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Our Board currently consists of eight members: Spenser Skates, Curtis Liu, Ron Gill, Pat Grady, Erica Schultz, Tien Tzuo, James Whitehurst, and Catherine Wong. Our Board is divided into three classes, with the directors in each class serving for a three-year term, and one class being elected each year by our stockholders.

When considering whether directors have the experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills, taken as a whole, to enable our Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of our business and structure, our Board focuses primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above. We believe that our directors provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of our business.

Director Independence

Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise that director’s ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out that director’s responsibilities. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each director and any employment, advisory, or academic relationship of our directors with other companies and institutions with which we do business. This includes, without limitation, Ms. Wong’s role as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Product Officer of Entrata, Inc., and Mr. Tzuo’s role as Chief Executive Officer of Zuora, Inc., and our ordinary course business transactions with Entrata and Zuora. Our Board considers these transactions and relationships as part of its overall analysis of the independence of our directors, and has affirmatively determined that each of our directors, other than Messrs. Liu and Skates, is an “independent director,” as defined under Nasdaq rules. Elisa Steele and Eric Vishria served as members of our Board during part of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Our Board affirmatively determined that each of Ms. Steele and Mr. Vishria was an “independent director” as defined under Nasdaq rules. In addition to determining whether each director satisfies the director independence requirements set forth in the Nasdaq rules, in the case of members of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, our Board made an affirmative determination that such members also satisfy separate independence requirements and current standards imposed by the SEC and Nasdaq.

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

2026 Proxy Statement 21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Director Candidates

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board is primarily responsible for searching for qualified director candidates for election to the Board and filling vacancies on the Board. To facilitate the search process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit current directors and executives of the Company for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates, or consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence from the Company and potential conflicts of interest, and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for candidates for election as a director.

In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current Board members), the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the Board, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, will consider candidates who have a high level of personal and professional integrity, strong ethics and values, and the ability to make mature business judgments. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board may also take into account many factors, including: experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly-traded company; experience as a board member of other companies, including service on the Board of Directors of another publicly-traded company; professional and academic experience relevant to our industry; the strength of the candidate’s leadership skills; the candidate’s experience in finance and accounting and/or executive compensation practices; whether the candidate has the time required for preparation, participation, and attendance at Board meetings and committee meetings, if applicable; and any other relevant qualifications, attributes, or skills. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its experience in these various areas. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in, and contributions to, the activities of the Board.

Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Secretary, Amplitude, Inc., 201 3rd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, California 94103. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

Communications from Stockholders

The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders, and will respond if and as appropriate. Our Secretary is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and for providing copies or summaries to the directors as she considers appropriate.

2026 Proxy Statement 22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Secretary considers to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances, and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications. Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board in writing: c/o Secretary, Amplitude, Inc., 201 3rd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, California 94103.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and to implement a lead independent director in accordance with its determination regarding which structure would be in the best interests of our company. Mr. Skates currently serves as our chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that whenever our chairperson of the Board is also a member of management or is a director that does not otherwise qualify as an independent director, the independent directors may elect a lead director. Mr. Whitehurst currently serves as our lead independent director. As lead independent director, Mr. Whitehurst presides over all meetings of the Board at which the chairperson of the Board is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors, approves Board meeting schedules and agendas, and acts as the liaison between the independent directors and our Chief Executive Officer and the chairperson of the Board.

Our Board has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time. In particular, we believe that the structure of our Board and its committees provides effective independent oversight of management while Mr. Skates’ combined role enables strong leadership, creates clear accountability, and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to stockholders. Our Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate.

Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings, and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused discussion and analysis of the risks we face. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with the Board at regular board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations, or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks.

Our Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. While our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. The Audit Committee also approves or disapproves any related person transactions. The Cybersecurity Committee is responsible for overseeing our cybersecurity program and risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a written Code of Conduct that applies to our directors, officers, and employees (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions). A copy of the Code of Conduct is posted on our investor relations website at investors.amplitude.com. In addition, we have posted or intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or the Nasdaq rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Conduct.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2025, Ron Gill, James Whitehurst, and Catherine Wong served as members of our Compensation Committee. None of Messrs. Gill and Whitehurst and Ms. Wong has been one of our executive officers or employees. None of our executive officers serve, or has served during the last year, as a member of the Board of Directors or as a member of the Compensation Committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our Board or our Compensation Committee.

Insider Trading, Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

Our Board has adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy, which applies to all directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as their respective family members sharing the same household, and subject to certain exceptions, any other entity that they control. Our Insider Trading Compliance Policy governs the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of the Company’s equity securities by directors, officers and employees (and members of their households, as well as entities they control), and we believe it is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations and any Nasdaq requirements applicable to the Company. Additionally, the Insider Trading Compliance Policy specifically prohibits short sales, transactions in put and call options or other derivative securities involving the Company’s equity securities, and other hedging or monetization transactions. In addition, our Insider Trading Compliance Policy provides that no director, officer, or employee may pledge Company securities as collateral to secure loans absent approval by our Compliance Officer. This prohibition means, among other things, that these individuals may not hold Company securities in a “margin” account, which would allow the individual to borrow against their holdings to buy securities. Our Insider Trading Compliance Policy was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our 2025 Annual Report.

Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation

Our board of directors has adopted the Company’s Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”), effective as of October 2, 2023, applicable to our current and former executive officers, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 10D-1(d), in accordance with SEC rules and the applicable Nasdaq listing standards. This Clawback Policy applies to incentive-based compensation that is granted, earned or vested wholly or in part upon attainment of one or more financial reporting measures (each, a “Financial Reporting Measure”) that is received by an executive officer (1) after beginning service as an executive officer, (2) who served as an executive officer at any time during the performance period for that compensation and (3) during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare a restatement with respect to any such Financial Reporting Measure. The Clawback Policy provides that, in the event of a restatement of our financial statements due to material

2026 Proxy Statement 24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, the administrator of the Clawback Policy will recover (subject to limited exceptions) the amount (as determined on a pre-tax basis) of incentive-based compensation erroneously received by an executive officer (i.e., in the event that the amount of such compensation was calculated based on the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently revised due to the restatement, and the amount of the incentive-based compensation that would have been earned by such executive officer had the financial results been properly reported would have been lower than the amount actually paid). Our Clawback Policy was filed as Exhibit 97.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Attendance by Members of the Board at Meetings

There were four meetings of the Board during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) all meetings of the Board and (ii) all meetings of the committees on which the director served during the period in which he or she served as a director.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on our investor relations website at investors.amplitude.com, a director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge such director’s responsibilities. Accordingly, a director is expected to regularly prepare for and attend meetings of the Board and all committees on which the director serves (including separate meetings of the independent directors), with the understanding that, on occasion, a director may be unable to attend a meeting. A director who is unable to attend a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board is expected to notify the chairperson of the Board or the chairperson of the appropriate committee in advance of such meeting, and, whenever possible, participate in such meeting via videoconference or teleconference in the case of an in-person meeting. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting; however, we strongly encourage our directors to attend our stockholder meetings. Seven of our nine directors serving on the Board in 2025 attended the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Audit Committee currently consists of Ron Gill, Erica Schultz, and Tien Tzuo with Mr. Gill serving as chairperson. Pat Grady served on our Audit Committee through December 2, 2025. Erica Schultz was appointed to serve on the Audit Committee effective December 2, 2025. Our Board has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Gill and Tzuo and Ms. Schultz each meet, and Mr. Grady met, the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on the Audit Committee under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and Nasdaq rules. Each member of our Audit Committee also meets, and Mr. Grady met, the financial literacy requirements of the Nasdaq rules. In addition, our Board has determined that Mr. Gill qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Our Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is available on our corporate website at investors.amplitude.com.

The Audit Committee met four times in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

• reviewing and making recommendations to the full Board regarding the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, and reviewing and approving the compensation of our non-employee directors and other executive officers;

• reviewing and approving the terms of any employment agreements, severance arrangements, change in control protections, and any other compensatory arrangements for our executive officers;

• overseeing our compensation and employee benefit plans;

• implementing our Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation; and

• appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants or other advisors.

In fulfilling its responsibilities, our Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any or all of its responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee also has the authority to authorize one or more of our officers to grant rights, options, or other equity awards to officers (other than executive officers) and employees, in a manner that is in accordance with applicable laws and applicable Nasdaq rules. From time to time, our Compensation Committee may use outside compensation consultants to assist it in analyzing our executive and non-employee director compensation programs and in determining appropriate levels of compensation and benefits. Our Compensation Committee has engaged Compensia, Inc., a national compensation consulting firm (“Compensia”), to advise us on the selection of a group of peer companies to use for compensation benchmarking purposes, and cash and equity compensation levels for our non-employee directors, executives, and other employees based on current market practices. Compensia reports directly to the Compensation Committee and does not provide any non-compensation related services to us. In compliance with the disclosure requirements of the SEC regarding the independence of compensation consultants, Compensia has addressed each of the six independence factors established by the SEC with the Compensation Committee. Its responses affirmed the independence of Compensia on executive compensation matters. Based on this assessment, the Compensation Committee determined that the engagement of Compensia does not raise any conflicts of interest or similar concerns. In addition, the Compensation Committee evaluated the independence of its other outside advisors to the Compensation Committee, including outside legal counsel, considering the same independence factors, and concluded their work for the Compensation Committee does not raise any conflicts of interest.

2026 Proxy Statement 27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition to advice provided by outside advisors, our executive officers submit proposals to our Compensation Committee regarding our executive and non-employee director compensation. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Skates, also serves on our Board and as the chairperson of the Board. By serving multiple roles, Mr. Skates is uniquely positioned to help the Board and the Compensation Committee in many of its compensation decisions as he possesses detailed knowledge of the issues, opportunities, and challenges we face, our business and our industry, which helps him to identify the key performance measures and indicators that may be used in setting incentive-based compensation. In his role as our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Skates is also intimately familiar with our day-to-day operations which enable him to identify key contributors and top performers within the Company, so as to ensure that their compensation accurately reflects their responsibilities, performance, future expectations, and experience levels. While Mr. Skates recuses himself from any Board discussions that involve his own compensation, his recommendations and feedback, along with the feedback and recommendations of our other senior executive officers, are often taken into consideration by the Board and Compensation Committee when setting compensation levels.

Our Compensation Committee consists of Ron Gill, James Whitehurst, and Catherine Wong, with Mr. Whitehurst serving as chairperson. Our Board has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Gill and Whitehurst and Ms. Wong each meet the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on the Compensation Committee under Nasdaq rules. Each member of our Compensation Committee is a “non-employee director” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 16b-3.

• reviewing developments in corporate governance compliance and developing and recommending to our Board a set of corporate governance guidelines; and

• evaluating the Company’s succession planning for executive officers.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Erica Schultz and Tien Tzuo with Ms. Schultz serving as chairperson. Ms. Elisa Steele previously served on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee until her resignation from our Board on June 12, 2025.

Executive Summary

Who We Are

Founded in 2012, Amplitude is driving the evolution of AI analytics as part of our mission to help companies build better products and digital experiences.

We believe we were the first company to recognize that traditional analytics tools were built for websites and marketing campaigns, not for understanding how people engage with digital products. That’s why we built an AI Analytics Platform designed specifically to analyze behavioral data and provide real-time, actionable insights that drive business outcomes.

Today, our platform goes far beyond standalone analytics. It unifies Analytics, Session Replay, Feature Experimentation, Web Experimentation, Audience Activation, Guides and Surveys, AI Agents, Amplitude Model Context Protocol (“MCP”), AI Visibility, AI Feedback and Automated Insights, allowing teams to seamlessly move from data to insights to actions—all in one place.

The platform is more than a collection of independent products. They all work better together, creating a powerful feedback loop where each component enhances the others. This integrated approach helps businesses to not just track and measure user behavior, but actively improve engagement, retention, and monetization.

As digital transformation continues to accelerate, the market opportunity ahead remains massive. Companies face increasing challenges in understanding their users, making data-driven decisions, and delivering personalized, high-impact experiences. Businesses are shifting from traditional acquisition-focused marketing to product-led growth (“PLG”) strategies, and also understanding their existing customers is more important than ever.

This shift has brought AI analytics to the fore as a key component of the modern data stack, integrating product, marketing, and experience analytics into a single, holistic category. As a first mover in this space, we believe Amplitude is well-positioned to lead the category as it grows.

We generate revenue primarily through subscription-based pricing, offering flexible plans that scale with our customers. We reach customers through a combination of direct sales, solution partners, and product-led growth, ensuring that businesses of all sizes can adopt and expand their use of Amplitude.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 4,797 paying customers, including 27 of the Fortune 100, demonstrating both strong adoption and the significant opportunity that remains. Our land-and-expand model enables us to grow alongside our customers, increasing usage across teams, use cases, and digital properties.

With a trusted, scalable, and deeply integrated platform, Amplitude is redefining how companies leverage data to drive customer engagement, business growth, and digital innovation—cementing our position as the leader in AI analytics.

Fiscal Year 2025 Business Highlights

We had a strong fiscal year 2025, with our financial and operational results including:

• Annual recurring revenue¹ was $366 million, up 17% year-over-year;

• Remaining performance obligations of $417.7 million, up 35% year-over-year;

• Number of customers greater than $100,000 in ARR increased to 698, or 18% year-over-year growth.

• Record full-year cash flow from operations of $29.8 million and Free Cash Flow of $23.5 million.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

We take a principled approach in providing fair, reasonable, and competitive compensation and benefits to a dynamic workforce. In keeping with our status as a publicly traded company, we maintain a commitment to strong corporate governance in connection with our executive compensation arrangements where our Board works with our management to develop and maintain compensation structures that are appropriate and competitive for a public company. In the case of our executive

We define annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) as the annual recurring revenue of subscription agreements at a point in time based on the terms of customers’ contracts, including certain premium services that are subject to contractual subscription terms and Plus customers that we expect to recur. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and does not represent the Company’s GAAP revenue on an annualized basis, as it is an operating metric that can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates. ARR is also not intended to be a forecast of revenue.

compensation program, we seek to employ and retain the best leaders in our industry to ensure we successfully execute on our short-term and long-term business and strategic goals, and to emphasize and reward company performance, functional performance, and individual contributions to promote continued growth and profitability, and to effectively create and maintain sustainable long-term stockholder value. We are guided in achieving these results through our overarching philosophy of “paying for performance.”

The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

• Attract, motivate, reward, and retain talented, highly-qualified, and committed individuals with the proper background, skills, experience, and leadership ability required to grow our business and meaningfully drive our future growth and profitability by offering a competitive and balanced total compensation program that flexibly adapts to changing economic, regulatory, and social conditions, and takes into consideration the compensation practices of peer companies based on an objective set of criteria;

• Align our target total direct compensation opportunities to our long-term growth-oriented business goals and strategic priorities;

• Provide a significant portion of compensation through variable elements that are “at-risk”; and

• Link the interests of our executive officers and our stockholders by tying a significant portion of their target total direct compensation opportunity to our overall financial and operating performance and the creation of sustainable long-term stockholder value through the use of equity awards.

At this point in our operating history, we use an analysis of competitive peer company compensation data, a qualitative review of company and individual performance, an analysis of our retention objectives and the holding power of our long-term incentive compensation opportunities, the replacement costs (financial and otherwise) for each of our executive positions, an assessment of current market conditions, and the business experience and judgment of our Compensation Committee to determine the target total direct compensation packages of our executive officers. As our needs evolve and as circumstances require, we intend to reevaluate our executive compensation philosophy, primary objectives, and program design.

Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

We endeavor to maintain sound governance standards consistent with our executive compensation policies and practices. The Compensation Committee evaluates our executive compensation program on an annual basis to ensure that it is consistent with our short-term and long-term goals given the dynamic nature of our business and the market in which we compete for executive talent. Below are highlights of what we do and what we do not do:

				What We Do						What We Do Not Do
	✔			Emphasize performance-based, at risk compensation.			✘			Do not grant uncapped cash incentives or guaranteed equity compensation.
	✔			Emphasize the use of equity compensation to promote executive retention and reward long-term value creation.			✘			Do not provide significant perquisites.
	✔			Weight the overall pay mix towards incentive compensation for senior executives.			✘			Do not provide any compensation-related tax gross-ups.

				What We Do						What We Do Not Do
	✔			Engage an independent compensation consultant to advise our Compensation Committee.			✘			Do not reprice our stock option awards.
	✔			Maintain a Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation compliant with SEC and Nasdaq rules.

Compensation-Setting Process

Role of Compensation Committee, Board of Directors, and CEO

The Compensation Committee, composed of independent, non-employee members of the Board, oversees the executive compensation program for our executive officers, except for our CEO whose compensation is approved by the independent members of the full Board. The Compensation Committee and the Board work closely with Compensia, the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant to collect and analyze competitive market compensation data and stay abreast of compensation trends and developments. The Compensation Committee also seeks the input of our CEO (except with respect to his own compensation) to examine the effectiveness of our executive compensation program throughout the year.

During fiscal year 2025, the independent members of the full Board, with respect to our CEO, and our Compensation Committee, with respect to each other named executive officer, were responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program and making compensation decisions. In each case, the independent members of the full Board and the Compensation Committee as they determined these compensation arrangements were also influenced by a variety of factors, including the relevant experience of the individual, competitive standards of pay, business conditions, and Company and individual performance.

Our CEO made recommendations to the Compensation Committee to assist in determining fiscal year 2025 compensation levels for our executive officers, including our other named executive officers. While the Compensation Committee considered this information, the ultimate decisions regarding fiscal year 2025 executive compensation were made by the Compensation Committee and the independent members of the full Board exercising their own independent judgment.

Role of Compensation Consultant

When making compensation decisions in fiscal year 2025, our Compensation Committee considered compensation data and an analysis of this data prepared by Compensia to provide guidance regarding our executive compensation program and how our compensation practices compare to the compensation practices of the competitive market (based on the companies comprising the compensation peer group companies). The Compensation Committee analyzed public company market data for executive compensation as a general indicator of relevant competitive market conditions and pay practices, focusing on revenue, industry, talent competitors, operating income, etc. In particular, our Compensation Committee reviewed an analysis of competitive market compensation data from the following group of peer companies as a reference source, developed in consultation with Compensia:

• Asana

• AvePoint

2026 Proxy Statement 33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• BigCommerce Holdings

• Blackline

• Braze

• C3.ai

• Couchbase

• Domo

• Enfusion

• Fastly

• Flywire

• JFrog

• nCino

• Olo

• Semrush

• Sprinklr

• Sprout Social

• WalkMe

• Weave Communications

In updating the compensation peer group for fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee removed one peer because it exceeded our target market capitalization range (Varonis Systems) and added one peer (BigCommerce Holdings) as it met our peer group selection criteria.

The Compensation Committee reviewed our named executive officer compensation against an analysis of competitive market compensation data and practices of this compensation peer group to ensure that our named executive officer compensation is competitive and sufficient to recruit and retain our named executive officers. While the Compensation Committee and the Board considered this analysis in evaluating the compensation of our executive officers, including our CEO, they did not seek to benchmark our executive officer compensation to any particular level.

The Compensation Committee has evaluated Compensia’s independence pursuant to the Nasdaq listing requirements and SEC rules and concluded that Compensia’s work did not give rise to a conflict of interest that would have prevented Compensia from serving as an independent consultant to the Compensation Committee currently or during fiscal year 2025.

Our Compensation Committee expects to periodically review and update this compensation peer group and to utilize Compensia for peer group data and analysis in determining and developing future target total direct compensation packages for our executive officers.

Previous Say-on-Pay Vote

In setting the form and amount of compensation for our named executive officer, the Compensation Committee also considered the voting results from our most recent non-binding, advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of our NEOs (a “Say-on-Pay vote”) as well as feedback received from stockholders

2026 Proxy Statement 34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

throughout the year. 98.3% of the votes cast by our stockholders were voted in support our 2024 executive compensation program at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Consequently, our Compensation Committee did not make any fundamental changes to our executive compensation program in fiscal year 2025. We are conducting a Say-on-Pay vote on the compensation of our NEOs at the 2026 Annual Meeting (see Proposal No. 3). The Compensation Committee will continue to consider stockholder feedback and the results of our Say-on-Pay votes when making compensation decisions for our executive officers, including our NEOs, in the future.

Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

Historically, and for fiscal year 2025, our executive compensation program consisted of a combination of the following elements, each established as part of our program in order to achieve the compensation objective specified below:

	Compensation Element			Compensation Objectives Designed to be Achieved and Key Features
	Base Salary			Attract and retain key talent by providing base cash compensation at competitive levels
	Cash-Based Incentive Compensation			Provide variable short-term incentives based on achievement of specified financial, operational, and strategic goals
	Equity-Based Incentive Compensation			Provide long-term incentives to drive financial and operational performance and stockholder value creation
	Severance and Other Benefits Potentially Payable upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control			Create clarity around termination or change of control events and provide for retention of our executive officers
	Health and Welfare Benefits/Perquisites			Attract and retain key talent by providing competitive health and welfare benefit programs

We do not currently have, and we do not expect to have, formal policies relating to the allocation of total compensation among the various elements of our executive compensation program.

Base Salaries

In general, base salaries for our executive officers, including our named executive officers, are initially established through arm’s length negotiation at the time the executive is hired, taking into account such executive’s qualifications, experience, and prior base salary. Base salaries of our executive officers are reviewed and approved annually by our Compensation Committee, except for the CEO whose base salary is reviewed and approved by the independent members of the full Board, and adjustments to base salaries are based on the scope of an executive’s responsibilities, individual contribution, prior experience, and sustained performance. This strategy is consistent with our intent of offering compensation that is cost-effective, competitive, and contingent on the achievement of performance objectives.

2026 Proxy Statement 35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We did not increase the base salaries of any named executive officers in 2025. The base salaries for our named executive officers for fiscal year 2025 are set forth in the table below:

	Named Executive Officer			2025 Base Salary			Percentage Increase from 2024
	Spenser Skates			$450,000			0%
	Andrew Casey			$500,000			0%
	Thomas Hansen			$500,000			0%
	Curtis Liu			$400,000			0%

The actual base salaries paid to our named executive officers during fiscal year 2025 are set forth in the “Fiscal 2025 Summary Compensation Table” below.

Cash-Based Incentive Compensation

In June 2023, our Compensation Committee adopted an Executive Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) pursuant to which certain of our executive officers, including Messrs. Skates, Casey, Hansen, and Liu were eligible to earn performance-based cash incentive awards based on the Company’s financial and operational performance in fiscal year 2025. Our Compensation Committee believes that the annual performance measures used in the Bonus Plan contribute to driving long-term stockholder value creation, play an important role in influencing executive performance, and are an important element of our executive compensation program to help attract, motivate, reward, and retain our executive officers.

Under the Bonus Plan, our Compensation Committee approves company-wide performance objectives each year, which serve as the basis for determining the eligibility for, and amount of, bonus awards. For fiscal year 2025, performance under the Bonus Plan was measured both for the period of January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025 (the “Semi-Annual Bonus Period”), and for the full year period January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Bonus Period”), and bonuses were paid under the Bonus Plan semi-annually in September 2025 (for the Semi-Annual Bonus Period) and March 2026 (for the Annual Bonus Period).

Our Compensation Committee reviews our actual achievement against the target levels for the pre-established performance measures and determines the bonus awards, if any, to be paid under the Bonus Plan. Our Compensation Committee may increase or decrease awards under the Bonus Plan in its discretion based on factors the Compensation Committee deems appropriate. For fiscal year 2026, the Compensation Committee has again approved measurement of performance to be conducted both for the period of January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026, and for the full year period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, and has approved bonuses to be paid under the Bonus Plan semi-annually in approximately September 2026 (for the performance period of January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026) and March 2027 (for the full year performance period of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026). For 2025, the target bonus opportunities (calculated as a percentage of salary) for each NEO were 100% for Mr. Hansen, 75% for Mr. Skates, 50% for Mr. Casey and 37.5% for Mr. Liu. For the Semi-Annual Bonus Period and Annual Bonus Period, the target bonus opportunity was 50% of each NEO’s annual target bonus opportunity (that is, 50% of base salary for Mr. Hansen, 37.5% for Mr. Skates, 25% of base salary for Mr. Casey, and 18.75% for Mr. Liu); provided that, for the Semi-Annual Bonus Period, the actual amount earned cannot exceed 100% of each NEO’s annual target bonus opportunity (so 50% of the annual target bonus opportunity).

2026 Proxy Statement 36

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee selected the following two performance measures for the Bonus Plan: (1) net new annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) and (2) non-GAAP operating income (loss). We define non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as U.S. GAAP income (loss) from operations, excluding stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and non-recurring cost such as restructuring and other related charges. We define net new ARR as the net increase in the annualized value of active customer subscription agreements during a performance period. Performance was measured for the Semi-Annual Bonus Period and for the Annual Bonus Period, and were weighted as follows: 70% for net new ARR and 30% for non-GAAP operating income (loss). The total payout among both performance periods could range from 0% to 200% of each named executive officer’s target annual cash opportunity; provided that, for the Semi-Annual Bonus Period, the actual amount earned cannot exceed 100% of target (that is, 50% of the annual target). The bonus plan funding percentage (which we call the bonus driver) for the non-GAAP operating income is funded linearly based on achievement compared to target and the minimum achievement of $-2.787 million. The bonus driver for the net new ARR has an accelerator of 1.67% for every 1% achieved above the target amount.

The following information highlights our fiscal year 2025 net new ARR and non-GAAP operating income target levels compared to our actual results and related achievement for both the Semi-Annual Bonus Period and the Annual Bonus Period. For the Semi-Annual Bonus Period, we exceeded the targeted net new ARR performance level of $19.7 million (with an achievement of $23.4 million). Our non-GAAP operating income exceeded the target level of -$3.7 million (with -$3.6 million). Based on these achievement percentages and the relative weighting of these performance measures, the total calculated payout percentage for the Semi-Annual Bonus Period was capped at 100% and each NEO received a bonus payout of 100% of their target bonus opportunity for the Semi-Annual Bonus Period (that is, 50% of their annual target bonus opportunity).

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2025, we recorded $53.8 million in net new ARR, which was 115.6% of the target net new ARR performance level of $46.6 million. The resulting bonus driver was 126% with a payout associated with net new ARR of 88.2%. Our non-GAAP operating income fell short of the target level of $6.5 million, resulting in an associated bonus driver of 42%. Based on the achievement and weighting of these performance measures, the total payout percentage for fiscal year 2025 was equal to 100.9% of the target cash bonus opportunity of the 50% of their annual target bonus opportunity reserved for payment based on our full year financial performance.

The actual annual cash bonuses paid to our named executive officers during fiscal year 2025 are set forth in the “Fiscal 2025 Summary Compensation Table” below.

For fiscal year 2026, our Compensation Committee has approved a similar Executive Bonus Plan and are contemplating participation in such plan by several of our executive officers, including Messrs. Casey, Crook, Skates, and Liu.

Equity-Based Incentive Compensation

We view equity-based incentive compensation as a critical element of our balanced total executive compensation program. Equity-based compensation creates an ownership culture among our executive officers, including our named executive officers, that provides an incentive to contribute to the continued growth and development of our business and aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders.

We have historically granted stock options and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards to our executive officers. When determining the size of the equity awards for our NEOs, the independent members of the full Board and/or our Compensation Committee, as applicable, take into account the size and the retention hold of past equity awards, the NEO’s position (level) in the Company, and the NEO’s value for the Company based on his or her experience, innovation, expertise, and leadership capabilities. The Compensation Committee believes that equity awards in the form of stock options and RSU awards provide our executive officers with a strong incentive to build long-term value in the Company. Such awards vest according to the schedule set out in the applicable equity award agreement subject to the executive officer’s continued service with us through the applicable vesting dates. In addition, the exercise price of the stock options granted to our executive officers is equal to the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant.

2026 Proxy Statement 38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following table sets forth the RSU awards granted to our named executive officers in fiscal year 2025. Messrs. Casey, Hansen, and Liu’s equity awards were refresher awards granted in recognition of their continued service to the Company. The independent members of our Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, decided not to grant an RSU award to Mr. Skates in fiscal year 2025. Our Compensation Committee determined to not grant any equity awards in the form of stock options in fiscal year 2025.

	Named Executive Officer			Options Granted			RSUs Granted
	Andrew Casey			—			159,914(1)
	Thomas Hansen			—			565,031(2)
	Curtis Liu			—			852,878(1)

(1)
1/12th of the units subject to the RSU awards vest on each quarterly anniversary of February 15, 2025, subject to Messrs. Casey’s and Liu’s continued service through the applicable vesting date.

(2)
1/12th of the units subject to the RSU award vests on each quarterly anniversary of February 15, 2025, subject to Mr. Hansen’s continued service through each applicable vesting date. Mr. Hansen will remain an advisor through March 31, 2027, in accordance with his transition agreement he entered into in February 2026. As a result, the RSU award will continue vesting on the foregoing schedule, subject to his continued service, through March 31, 2027, and any remaining unvested RSUs subject to this RSU Award will be forfeited as of March 31, 2027.

The equity awards granted to our named executive officers during fiscal year 2025 are set forth in the “Fiscal 2025 Summary Compensation Table” and the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2025 Table” below.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We determine perquisites or other personal benefits for our executive officers, including our NEOs, on a case-by-case basis and will provide a perquisite or other personal benefit when we believe it is necessary to attract or retain the executive officer. Any perquisites we provide are reasonable and consistent with market trends in the countries in which our executive officers are located. We believe that providing these benefits is a relatively inexpensive way to enhance the competitiveness of the executive officer’s compensation package. In fiscal year 2025, we did not provide any perquisites or other personal benefits to our NEOs in the amount of $10,000 or more that were not otherwise made available to our other employees.

Any policies with respect to perquisites and other personal benefits to our named executive officers are subject to review and approval by our Compensation Committee (or the independent members of the full Board in the case of our CEO).

Health and Welfare Benefits

All of our full-time employees, including our executive officers and our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including:

• medical, dental, and vision benefits;

• medical, dependent care, transportation, and parking flexible spending accounts;

• short-term and long-term disability insurance; and

• life insurance.

2026 Proxy Statement 39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We believe these benefits are necessary and appropriate to provide a competitive compensation package to our executive officers. We design our 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.

Retirement Benefits

Section 401(k) Plan

We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our Section 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “Section 401(k) Plan”) adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation program and further incentivizes our employees, including our executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies. As such, we currently maintain the Section 401(k) Plan for our employees, including our executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the Section 401(k) Plan on the same terms as other full-time employees.

The Section 401(k) Plan permits us to make employer matching contributions to eligible participants. We did not make any employer matching contributions in fiscal year 2025.

Other Retirement Plans

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

Employment and Severance Arrangements

Below are summary descriptions of our employment agreements with each of our named executive officers in effect as of December 31, 2025. Each of our named executive officers’ employment is “at will” and may be terminated by us at any time.

We are party to employment agreements with each of our named executive officers. Each of these agreements provides the named executive officer’s annual base salary and right to participate in the health and welfare benefit plans made available to other similarly situated executives.

In addition, we maintain an Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), adopted by our Compensation Committee on November 5, 2024, covering eligible executives, including each of our currently-employed NEOs. The Severance Plan supersedes in its entirety the severance benefits that each NEO is eligible to receive under their current employment agreement, and each NEO delivered a signed participation agreement agreeing to the waiver of any severance payments and benefits under their existing employment agreements.

Under the Severance Plan, if a NEO’s employment with us is terminated without Cause or such NEO resigns for Good Reason (as each is defined in the employment agreement), the NEO will be entitled to receive: (i) a cash payment equal to six months base salary and any prorated amount of the NEO’s target annual bonus opportunity, if any, earned through the date of termination, and (ii) payment or reimbursement of the cost of continued healthcare coverage for six months. In lieu of the foregoing payments and benefits, if such NEO’s employment with us is terminated without Cause or such NEO resigns for Good Reason during the period commencing three months prior to a Change in Control (as defined in our 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”)) and ending on the 12-month anniversary

2026 Proxy Statement 40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

following such Change in Control, the applicable NEO will be entitled to receive: (i) a cash payment equal to 12 months base salary plus 100% of the NEO’s target annual cash-based incentive compensation opportunity, (ii) payment or reimbursement of the cost of continued healthcare coverage for 12 months, and (iii) full accelerated vesting of any of the NEO’s outstanding and unvested equity awards (except for any performance awards, which shall be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreement). The foregoing severance payments and benefits are subject to the applicable NEO’s delivery of an executed general release of claims against us and continued compliance with the NEO’s confidentiality agreement with us.

In addition, each of our named executive officers has executed our standard confidential information and invention assignment agreement.

We do not have any agreements with our named executive officers guaranteeing any tax reimbursement or “gross-up” payments on severance or change in control payments or benefits.

See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for information regarding these post-employment compensation arrangements, including an estimate of the payments and benefits that would have been payable under these arrangements at the end of fiscal year 2025.

Equity Grant Practices

We currently only grant restricted stock units to our employees. If we determined to grant options to purchase our common stock, including for our named executive officers, they would generally be based upon a predetermined schedule each year as a part of the annual compensation process. If annual long-term incentive compensation is determined to be appropriate, our Board, the Compensation Committee or applicable designee approves any annual grants of options for continuing employees in the first fiscal quarter commensurate with the prescheduled Board and Committee meetings. The grant dates of these options are generally selected so as not to be within a short period of time, as described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 120 (“SAB 120”), prior to the release of material nonpublic information (“MNPI”) such as on Forms 8-K, 10-Q or 10-K. Grants of options may occur at other times during the year due to business needs, such as for a newly hired employees or officers or newly appointed board members. The Board, Compensation Committee, or applicable designee does not anticipate the timing of disclosure of MNPI when determining the timing and terms of such awards, and we do not time the release of MNPI for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. Generally, exercise prices are based on the closing price of the underlying common stock on the grant date, subject to the applicable rules for non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options under our equity plans. Vesting dates for options typically follow a standard monthly cadence and are not timed to anticipate the release of MNPI.

There were no grants of options to our NEOs within four business days before or one business day after the release of MNPI on Forms 8-K, 10-Q or 10-K in fiscal year 2025. As such, no table of such option grants is presented under Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Tax and Accounting Considerations

As a general matter, the independent members of the full Board and the Compensation Committee review and consider the various tax and accounting implications of compensation programs we utilize.

Taxation of Parachute Payments and Deferred Compensation

Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code disallows a company’s tax deduction for payments received by certain individuals in connection with a change in control to the extent that the payments exceed an amount approximately three times their average annual compensation and Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a 20% excise tax on those payments. Our Board will take into account the implications of Section 280G in determining potential payments to be made to our executive officers in connection with a change in control. Nevertheless, to the extent that certain payments upon a change in control are classified as excess parachute payments, such payments may not be deductible pursuant to Section 280G.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee and our Board have considered the potential future effects of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code on the compensation paid to our executive officers. Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1.0 million in any taxable year for “covered employees.” While we consider the tax deductibility of each element of executive compensation as a factor in our overall compensation program, the independent members of the full Board and the Compensation Committee, however, retain the discretion to approve compensation that may not qualify for the compensation deduction if, considering all applicable circumstances, it would be in our best interest for such compensation to be paid without regard to whether it may be tax deductible.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Under FASB ASC Topic 718, we are required to estimate the grant date “fair value” for each grant of equity award using various assumptions. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables below, even though recipients may never realize any value from their awards. FASB ASC Topic 718 also requires us to recognize the compensation cost of stock-based awards in our income statements over the period that an employee is required to render service in exchange for the award.

Compensation and Risk

In fiscal year 2025, management assessed our compensation programs for the purpose of reviewing and considering any risks presented by our compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. As part of that assessment, management reviewed the primary elements of our compensation programs, including base salary, short-term incentive compensation, and long-term incentive compensation. Management’s risk assessment included a review of the overall design of each primary element of our compensation programs, and an analysis of the various design features, controls, and approval rights in place with respect to compensation paid to management and other employees that mitigate potential risks to us that could arise from our compensation programs. Following the assessment, management determined that our compensation policies and practices did not create risks that were reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us and reported the results of the assessment to our Compensation Committee.

Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our non-employee directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require, or will require, us to indemnify each director and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of us, arising out of the person’s services as a director or executive officer. We have also obtained an insurance policy that insures our directors and officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under applicable securities laws.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

We have entered into certain agreements with each of our named executive officers, as described above, that provide for potential payments upon a termination of employment, including a termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company.

The following table summarizes the payments that would be made to our named executive officers upon the occurrence of certain qualifying terminations of employment and, in certain instances, a change in control of the Company, in any case, occurring on the last day of fiscal year 2025. Amounts shown do not include (i) accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination or (ii) other benefits earned or accrued by the named executive officer during his employment that are available to all salaried employees, such as accrued vacation, and assume that any successor company in a change in control assumed or substituted awards for any outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan. Since Mr. Hansen did not cease providing services until March 2026, we have included the amounts he would have been entitled to receive as of December 31, 2025.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to disclose the ratio of our CEO’s annual total compensation to the median of the annual total compensation of our other employees.

The annual total compensation for 2025 for our CEO was $789,019, as reported in the Fiscal Year 2025 Summary Compensation Table. The annual total compensation for 2025 for our median employee, identified as discussed below, was $229,833. Based on this information, for fiscal year 2025, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of our other employees was approximately 3.43 to 1.

For purposes of calculating the CEO pay ratio above, we used a new median employee who was identified for fiscal year 2025 (since the last time we determined a median employee was December 31, 2022).

Methodology, Assumptions, and Estimates Used in Determining our Pay Ratio Disclosure

We chose December 31, 2025 as the date for establishing the employee population used in identifying the median employee and used calendar year 2025 as the measurement period. We identified the median employee using the consistently applied compensation measure of total cash on-target earnings (annualized base salary plus target variable compensation) for each employee employed as of December 31, 2025 (other than our CEO). We annualized the compensation measure for permanent employees who joined in 2025. We captured all full-time, part-time, fixed term and professional employer organization employees, consisting of approximately 779 individuals. We did not have any temporary or seasonal employees.

The annual total compensation of the median employee and the annual total compensation of our CEO were calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K.

The pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our internal records and the methodology described above. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices, the pay ratio reported above should not be used as a basis for comparison between companies by other companies. In addition, we expect our annually reported pay ratio may vary significantly year over year, given our size and the potential variability in our employee compensation.

outstanding and unvested as of the end of the covered fiscal year; (iii) for equity awards that are granted and vest in the same covered fiscal year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for equity awards granted in any prior fiscal year for which all applicable vesting conditions were satisfied at the end of or during the covered fiscal year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value (whether positive or negative); (v) for equity awards granted in any prior fiscal year that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the covered fiscal year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the covered fiscal year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise included in the total compensation for the covered fiscal year.

The valuation assumptions used to calculate the fair values of the stock options held by our PEO that vested during or were outstanding as of the end of each covered fiscal year materially differed from those valuation assumptions disclosed at the time of grant in the following respects: the expected term assumptions varied from seven years to ten years, the stock price volatility assumptions varied from 51.95% to 57.13%, and the risk-free interest rate assumptions varied from 1.09% to 4.75%, depending on the specific stock option the fair value of which was being recalculated. The valuation assumptions used to calculate the fair values of the RSU awards held by our PEO that vested during or were outstanding as of the end of each covered fiscal year did not materially differ from those valuation assumptions disclosed at the time of grant. For the majority of these values, the valuation was based on objective, observable market prices on the closing price on the day of vest.

Financial Performance Measures

For the fiscal years covered by this table, (i) in 2025, we used two financial performance measures, net new ARR and non-GAAP operating income in our short-term incentive compensation award program, (ii) in 2024 and 2023, we used two financial performance measures, revenue and non-GAAP operating income, in our short-term incentive compensation award programs, and (iii) in 2022 and 2021 we did not use any financial or other performance measures for our short-term incentive compensation award programs. Historically, we have not used financial or other performance measures for our long-term incentive compensation programs. Please see our “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of our Executive Compensation Program – Cash-Based Incentive Compensation” for more information on our most important financial performance measures for the years covered by this table.

Analysis of Information Presented in Pay-Versus-Performance Table

As described in more detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects a variable “pay-for-performance” philosophy. Over the five years since our Direct Listing, we have used financial or other performance measures to align executive compensation with our performance only in 2025, 2024, and 2023 with respect to our short-term incentive compensation award program. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the required relationships between the information presented in the Pay-Versus-Performance Table.

Compensation Actually Paid and Company TSR

As reflected by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average amount of compensation actually paid to our Non-PEO NEOs as a group is generally aligned with our TSR for the period presented in the Pay-Versus-Performance Table. This alignment of compensation actually paid with our cumulative TSR over the period presented results because a significant portion of the compensation provided to our PEO and our Non-PEO NEOs is comprised of equity awards, the value of which is dependent on the growth of our common stock price. We believe equity compensation creates an ownership culture among our NEOs that provides an incentive to contribute to the continued growth and development of our business and aligns the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders. In recent years, we have sought to provide the majority of the target total direct compensation opportunity of our NEOs, other than our PEO and Chief Technology Officer, who, as co-founders of the Company, each maintain a significant equity stake in the Company, in the form of equity awards, including options to purchase shares of our common stock and restricted stock unit awards. In 2025, we granted only restricted stock unit awards to our NEOs who received equity awards. Our PEO has not received an equity award since 2020.

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income (Loss)

As reflected in the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average amount of compensation actually paid to our Non-PEO NEOs as a group decreased significantly in 2022, while our net income (loss) increased beginning in that period. We have not used net income (loss) as a financial performance measure in our overall executive compensation program, so there is, at best, only an indirect correlation between our profitability and the compensation that we paid to our PEO and our Non-PEO NEOs. As described in more detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” we seek to provide the majority of the target total direct compensation opportunity of our NEOs, other than our PEO and Chief Technology Officer, who, as co-founders of the Company, each maintain a significant equity stake in the Company, in the form of equity awards under our long-term incentive compensation program.

2026 Proxy Statement 54

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Compensation Actually Paid and GAAP Revenue

As reflected in the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average amount of compensation actually paid to our Non-PEO NEOs as a group decreased significantly in 2022, largely as a result of the decrease in unrealized appreciation in our PEO’s and Non-PEO NEOs’ outstanding equity awards reflecting the volatility of our stock price during the year, while our revenue has consistently and significantly increased during the past five years. Given our growth-oriented focus, until 2025 we used revenue as one of the financial performance measures in our short-term incentive compensation program at which time we switched to using net new ARR as the second financial performance measure for the program. We believe that, for purposes of our long-term incentive compensation program, revenue growth is an important contributing factor to the market’s evaluation of our stock price which is, of course, a key driver for the equity awards granted to our NEOs.

Company TSR and Peer Group TSR

As reflected by the following graph, beginning in 2022 our cumulative TSR over the subsequent period presented in the Pay-Versus-Performance Table has been lower than the cumulative TSR of the peer group presented for this purpose, the NASDAQ Emerging Cloud Index. This noticeably differed from our TSR immediately following our Direct Listing and the TSR of the NASDAQ Emerging Cloud Index.

Board Service
Non-Employee Director:			$30,000

Director fees under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program are payable in cash in arrears in four equal quarterly installments not later than 30 days following the final day of each calendar quarter, provided that the amount of each payment will be prorated for any portion of a quarter that a director is not serving on our Board.

Directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their cash fees in RSUs, with each such RSU award covering a number of shares calculated by dividing (i) the amount of the annual retainer by (ii) the average per share closing trading price of our common stock over the most recent 30 trading days as of the grant date (the “30-day average price”). Such RSUs will be automatically granted on the fifth day of the month following the end of the calendar quarter to which the corresponding director fees were earned and will be fully vested on grant.

Under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program, unless otherwise provided by the Board prior to the commencement of service of an applicable director, each non-employee director who is initially elected or appointed to serve on the Board after our Direct Listing will automatically be granted that number of RSUs upon the director’s initial appointment or election to our Board (the “Initial Grant”), calculated by dividing (i) $525,000 by (ii) the 30-day average price. The Initial Grant will vest as to one-third of the underlying shares on each anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service through each applicable vesting date.

In addition, each non-employee director who (i) has been serving on the Board as of an annual stockholders’ meeting following our Direct Listing, (ii) who has an Initial Grant that will become fully vested

With respect to directors who were on the Board as of the date of our Direct Listing, Mr. Gill was eligible to receive Annual Grants commencing with the 2022 Annual Meeting, and Mses.

The Annual Grant will be automatically granted on the date of the applicable annual meeting and will vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of the grant or the date of the next annual meeting, subject to continued service through each applicable vesting date.

All equity awards held by non-employee directors under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program will vest in full upon the consummation of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2021 Plan), subject to their continued service through immediately prior to such date. In addition, each non-employee director may elect to defer all or a portion of the RSUs they receive under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program until the earliest of a fixed date properly elected by the director, the director’s termination of service, or a Change in Control.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to holdings of our common stock by (i) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock and (ii) each of our directors, each of our named executive officers and all current directors and executive officers as a group as of April 15, 2026, unless otherwise indicated.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder as described in this proxy statement is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power. We have based percentage ownership of our common stock on 103,777,440 shares of our Class A common stock and 28,802,160 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding as of April 15, 2026. We have deemed shares of our common stock subject to stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 15, 2026 or issuable pursuant to RSUs which are subject to vesting and settlement conditions expected to occur within 60 days of April 15, 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.

Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each such beneficial owner is c/o Amplitude, Inc., 201 3rd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, California 94103. We believe, based on information provided to us, that each of the stockholders listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the stockholder unless noted otherwise, subject to community property laws where applicable.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Our Board recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interest (or the perception thereof). Our Board has adopted a written policy on transactions with related persons that is in conformity with the requirements for companies having common stock that is listed on Nasdaq. This policy covers any transaction, arrangement, or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements, or relationships, that meets the disclosure requirements set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, in which we were or are to be a participant and in which a “related person,” as defined in Item 404, had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our Audit Committee is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including but not limited to whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction.

Therefore, we must receive notice of such a proposal or nomination for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders no earlier than February 9, 2027 and no later than March 11, 2027. The notice must contain the information required by the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is available upon request to our Secretary. In the event that the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held before May 10, 2027, or after August 8, 2027, then our Secretary must receive such written notice not later than the 90th day prior to the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such meeting is first made by us. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Amended and Restated Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these or other applicable requirements.

We intend to file a proxy statement and WHITE proxy card with the SEC in connection with our solicitation of proxies for our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders may obtain our proxy statement (and any amendments and supplements thereto) and other documents as and when filed by the Company with the SEC without charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent of any class of our equity securities (“10% stockholders”), file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Such executive officers, directors, and 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

SEC regulations require us to identify in this proxy statement anyone who filed a required report late during the most recent fiscal year. Based on our review of copies of reports furnished to us, and on written representations from reporting persons, we believe that during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were satisfied on a timely basis, with the exception of a Form 4 filed on behalf of our director, Erica Schultz, on July 17, 2025 to report the exercise of options in connection with the sale of shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan on June 11, 2025.
