Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), the percentage in Row 11 is calculated as the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate amount beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as set forth in Row 9 by (b) the sum of (i) 315,250,214 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of October 16, 2025, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2025 (the "Form 10-Q"); (ii) 39,498 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the vesting of RSUs within 60 days of December 31, 2025; and (iii) 26,299,009 shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. The aggregate number of shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as set forth in clause "(a)" of this paragraph are treated as converted into Class A common stock only for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the Reporting Person.
Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes.

The percentage reported does not reflect the ten for one voting power of the Class B common stock because these shares are treated as converted into Class A common stock for the purpose of this report.

How many Cloudflare (NET) shares does Matthew Prince beneficially own?
Matthew Prince beneficially owns 26,338,507 Cloudflare shares. This total includes Class A and Class B shares held directly and through several family and grantor trusts, plus 39,498 Class A shares issuable upon RSU vesting within 60 days of December 31, 2025.
What percentage of Cloudflare (NET) Class A stock does Matthew Prince own?
Matthew Prince reports beneficial ownership of 7.7% of Cloudflare’s Class A common stock. This percentage is calculated using outstanding Class A shares, RSUs vesting within 60 days of December 31, 2025, and his beneficially owned Class B shares treated as converted into Class A.
How are Matthew Prince’s Cloudflare (NET) shares held and controlled?
Prince’s shares are held directly and through multiple trusts, where he serves as trustee, co-trustee, or investment advisor. He has sole power over 5,230,116 shares and shared voting and dispositive power over 21,108,391 shares held across various Prince family and grantor retained annuity trusts.
What is the voting power difference between Cloudflare Class A and Class B shares?
Each Cloudflare Class A share has one vote, while each Class B share has ten votes. For ownership percentage calculations in this report, Prince’s Class B shares are treated as if converted into Class A, so the 7.7% figure does not reflect the higher voting power of Class B.
What does this Schedule 13G/A filing disclose about Cloudflare (NET)?
The Schedule 13G/A Amendment No. 5 discloses Matthew Prince’s beneficial ownership in Cloudflare. It details his total 26,338,507 shares, the 7.7% ownership percentage, the mix of Class A and Class B shares, related RSUs, and how voting and dispositive powers are allocated across his holdings.
Which date is used to calculate Matthew Prince’s Cloudflare ownership percentage?
The ownership percentage is based on Cloudflare share counts as of October 16, 2025, and RSUs vesting within 60 days of December 31, 2025. Those figures come from Cloudflare’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, combined with Prince’s beneficially owned Class B shares.
