Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On May 7, 2024, Integral Ad Science Holding Corp. (the “Company”) held its 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The proposals considered at the Annual Meeting are described in the Company’s 2024 Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2024. The final voting results for each of the proposals submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders are set forth below:

Proposal No. 1: Election of directors.

The Company’s shareholders elected the following nominees for director to serve as Class III directors for a term expiring at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Jill Putman		97,875,996		18,965,355		32,943,764

Proposal No. 2: Proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

By the vote described below, the Company’s shareholders approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, to hold future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“Say-on-Pay Votes”) every one year.

113,854,755		7,537		2,905,878		73,181		32,943,764

Considering the shareholders’ non-binding approval to hold future Say-on-Pay Votes every one year, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) has determined that future Say-on-Pay Votes will be conducted every one year. The Board will re-evaluate this determination after the next required shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay Votes (which will be at the Company’s 2030 annual meeting of shareholders, unless presented earlier).
