    Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     
    On February 27, 2025, Elastic N.V. (“Elastic” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for its third quarter ended January 31, 2025. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
     
    The information above, including Exhibit 99.1, is “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference in such filing.

    Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

    (b) Eric Prengel, who has served as the Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company since December 14, 2024, will cease to serve in this role on February 28, 2025 upon the effectiveness on that date of the appointment of Navam Welihinda as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, as discussed in Item 5.02(c) below.

    (c) On February 25, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Navam Welihinda as Elastic’s Chief Financial Officer, effective as of February 28, 2025, to succeed Eric Prengel. In this role, Mr. Welihinda will serve as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.

    Prior to joining Elastic, Mr. Welihinda, age 46, served as Chief Financial Officer of Grammarly, Inc., an AI writing assistant company, from September 2024 to February 2025. Before his service with Grammarly, Inc., Mr. Welihinda served as the Chief Financial Officer of HashiCorp, Inc., an infrastructure cloud company, from February 2021 to September 2024, and as Vice President of Finance from February 2017 to February 2021. Prior to his roles at HashiCorp., Mr. Welihinda served as the head of finance at Compose within International Business Machines Corporation, or IBM, a multinational technology company, from October 2015 to December 2016. He served as Vice President, Finance at Compose, Inc., a cloud database platform company, from May 2013 to October 2015, when it was acquired by IBM. Mr. Welihinda holds a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from Dartmouth College.

    In connection with Mr. Welihinda’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, the Company’s compensation committee approved an employment letter with Mr. Welihinda. The employment letter does not have a specific term and provides that Mr. Welihinda will serve as an at-will employee. The employment letter further provides that Mr. Welihinda’s initial annual base salary will be $500,000 and that he will be eligible for an annual target cash incentive payment equal to 75% of his annual base salary, pro-rated for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2025. In addition, Mr. Welihinda will be granted an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with an approximate grant date fair value of $11 million that will settle in the Company’s ordinary shares. The RSU award will vest over four years in 16 equal quarterly installments, with the first tranche vesting on June 8, 2025, subject to Mr. Welihinda’s continuous service with Elastic or its affiliates through each vesting date. The RSU award will be subject to such other terms as are set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Option Plan, the award agreement for the grant, and the Company’s equity grant practices. Mr. Welihinda will participate in the Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation program for executive officers described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2024.

    The Company will enter into the Company’s standard form of change in control and severance agreement with Mr. Welihinda. The change in control and severance agreement will provide for certain severance payments and benefits to be delivered to Mr. Welihinda if his employment is terminated other than for “cause” (as defined in the agreement) or if he resigns for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement), subject to Mr. Welihinda’s satisfaction of certain other terms as set forth in the agreement. The Company will also enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement with Mr. Welihinda. The indemnification agreement will provide for indemnification of Mr. Welihinda against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of his status or service. The Company’s standard forms of change in control and severance agreement and indemnification agreement are filed as Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.1, respectively, to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14, 2024.
