Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 25, 2025, GitLab Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Right of First Refusal Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kilo Code, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kilo”) and affiliate of Sytse Sijbrandij, the executive chair of the Company’s Board of Directors. In connection with the Company’s execution of the Agreement, the Agreement was reviewed, voted upon and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the Agreement, in exchange for $1,000 in consideration, Kilo granted the Company a right whereby if Kilo receives a bona fide third-party acquisition proposal that Kilo determines to accept or enter into exclusive negotiations regarding prior to August 24, 2026, the Company will have a right of first refusal to pursue such transaction on economic and other terms that substantially match those offered by the third party. If the Company does not exercise its right of first refusal within 10 business days following receipt of such third-party offer, Kilo may proceed with the third-party transaction.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026.
