On August 11, 2025 , the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Okta, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, expanded the size of the Board from eight to ten directors and appointed David Schellhase as an independent director and Mary Agnes (Maggie) Wilderotter as a non-independent director to the Board, effective August 13, 2025. Mr. Schellhase was appointed as a Class III director to serve until the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Ms. Wilderotter was appointed as a Class II director to serve until the Company's 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each to hold such office until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. The Board also appointed Mr. Schellhase to the Compensation and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board, and Ms. Wilderotter to the Cybersecurity Risk and M&A Committees of the Board.
There is no arrangement or understanding between either of Mr. Schellhase or Ms. Wilderotter and any other persons pursuant to which he or she was appointed as director.
