Regulation FD Disclosure.

On December 7, 2022, BlackLine, Inc. (“BlackLine” or the “Company”) announced that it is planning to reduce its global workforce by approximately 5%, or approximately 95 total positions. The planned actions are primarily in response to cost reduction initiatives as the Company continues to focus on key growth priorities. The actions are expected to be substantially completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, subject to local law and consultation requirements, which may extend the process in certain countries. Costs associated with the reductions are not expected to be material.

This Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “would,” “continue,” “ongoing” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements in this Current Report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expectations related to the Company’s workforce reductions and the impact on the Company’s. Any forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report are based upon BlackLine’s historical performance and its current plans, estimates and expectations and are not a representation that such plans, estimates, or expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith beliefs and assumptions as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize or if any assumptions prove incorrect, actual performance or results may differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report are subject to risks related to the macroeconomic environment and that there are unintended consequences from these actions as well as other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted, including those more fully described in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
