Dear Matterport Stockholder:

I am pleased to invite you to the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Annual Meeting”) of Matterport, Inc., which will be held virtually on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at 10:00 am. Pacific Time. In the interest of providing our stockholders a more convenient, cost-effective method of attending, and to ensure the continued health and safety of our stockholders and employees, this year the Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting conducted via live webcast.

These items of business are more fully described in the Proxy Statement accompanying this Notice. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement, notice of annual meeting, form of proxy and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, is first being made available to the Company’s stockholders beginning on or about April 27, 2023. The proxy materials and our annual report can be accessed as of April 27, 2023 by visiting https://web.lumiagm.com/216187135.

The Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) has fixed April 18, 2023 as the record date (“Record Date”) for determining stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or adjournment or postponement thereof. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 18, 2023 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any postponement, continuation or adjournment thereof. A complete list of such stockholders will be open to the examination of any stockholder for a period of ten (10) calendar days prior to and through the date of the Annual Meeting for a purpose germane to the meeting by sending an email to Matthew Zinn, Chief Legal Officer, at mzinn@matterport.com, stating the purpose of the request and providing proof of ownership of Matterport stock.

The Board believes that holding the Annual Meeting of stockholders in a virtual format provides the opportunity for participation by a broader group of stockholders, while reducing the costs associated with planning, holding and arranging logistics for in-person meeting proceedings and providing for the health and safety of the participants in consideration of the ongoing COIVD-19 endemic. This balance will allow the meeting to remain focused on matters directly relevant to the interests of stockholders in a way that recognizes the value to stockholders of an efficient use of company resources. The Board intends that the virtual meeting format provide stockholders a level of transparency as close as possible to the traditional in-person meeting format and takes the following steps to ensure such an experience:

•providing stockholders with the ability to submit appropriate questions in advance of the Annual Meeting to ensure thoughtful responses from management and the Board;

• providing stockholders with the ability to submit appropriate questions real-time on the Annual Meeting website;

•answering as many questions as possible, submitted in accordance with the meeting rules of conduct in the time allotted for the meeting without discrimination; and

•offering separate engagement opportunities with stockholders on appropriate matters of governance or other relevant topics as outlined under the section titled “Communications with the Board of Directors” below.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. To ensure that a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, please vote your shares over the Internet or by telephone, or, if you received a copy of the proxy card by mail, you may sign, date and mail the proxy card in the enclosed envelope, whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting. Note that, in light of possible disruptions in mail service, we encourage stockholders to submit their proxy via the Internet or telephone. If you decide to attend the Annual Meeting, you will be able to vote electronically, even if you have previously submitted your proxy. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account, you should be aware that, if you do not instruct your broker how to vote, your broker will not be permitted to vote your shares for the election of directors, on the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the accompanying proxy statement, or on the advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Therefore, you must affirmatively take action to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. If you do not, your shares will not be voted on these items.


Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to Be Held Virtually on June 13, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. PDT. The proxy statement and annual report to stockholders are available at https://web.lumiagm.com/216187135.

R.J. Pittman

Sunnyvale, California

In 2022, Matterport began collecting data on our greenhouse gas emissions to allow for monitoring, disclosing and reducing its impact over time.

Matterport’s Voting Securities; Record Date

Holders of record of our Class A common stock (“common stock” or “Class A common stock”) at the close of business on April 18, 2023 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of, and such stockholders and holders of a valid proxy will be entitled to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any postponement, continuation or adjournment of the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, 295,821,820 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote with respect to all matters submitted to stockholders at the Annual Meeting. We have no other securities entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

A list of registered stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be made available for examination by any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the Annual Meeting between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, at our principal executive offices by contacting our Chief Legal Officer, Matthew Zinn by telephone at (408) 428-1304 or by email at mzinn@matterport.com. The list of registered stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will also be available online during the Annual Meeting at https://web.lumiagm.com/216187135, for those stockholders attending the Annual Meeting.

Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.

Consistent with prior years, we are using the “notice and access” system adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) related to the delivery of our proxy materials over the internet. As permitted by the SEC rules, Matterport is making this proxy statement and its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 available to its stockholders electronically via the Internet. On or about April 27, 2023, we first mailed to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement and our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and vote online. If you received a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail unless you specifically request them. Instead, the Notice instructs you on how to access and review all of the important information contained in the proxy statement and 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Notice also instructs you on how you may submit your proxy over the Internet. If you received a Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials contained on the Notice.

Printed Copies of Our Proxy Materials.

If you received printed copies of our proxy materials, then instructions regarding how you can vote are contained on the proxy card included in those materials.

Attending the Virtual Annual Meeting

In the interest of providing our stockholders a more convenient, cost-effective method of attending, and to protect the health and safety of our stockholders and employees, this year’s Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. The Annual Meeting will convene at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on June 13, 2023.

Stockholder of Record. If you were a stockholder of record as of the Record Date, then you may attend the Annual Meeting virtually, and will be able to submit your questions during the meeting and vote your shares electronically during the meeting by visiting https://web.lumiagm.com/216187135 (password: matterport2023). To attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability or your proxy card. The Annual Meeting live audio webcast will begin promptly at 10:00 am, Pacific Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 9:00 am, Pacific Time, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.

Street Name Stockholders. If you were a street name stockholder as of the Record Date and your voting instruction form or Notice of Internet Availability indicates that you may vote your shares through the www.voteproxy.com website, then you may access and participate in the Annual Meeting with the control number indicated on that voting instruction form or Notice of Internet Availability. Otherwise, street name stockholders should contact their bank, broker or other nominee and obtain a legal proxy in order to be able to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting.

Even if you plan to attend the live webcast of the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote in advance by Internet, telephone or mail so that your vote will be counted even if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

Questions and Answers during the Annual Meeting

As part of the Annual Meeting, we will conduct a live Q&A session during which we intend to answer as many questions as possible submitted online during or prior to the Annual Meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters. If you are a stockholder, you may submit a question one (1) hour in advance of the Annual Meeting at

https://web.lumiagm.com/216187135 (password: matterport2023) after logging in with your control number.

Only stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder by following the procedures outlined above will be permitted to submit questions during the Annual Meeting.

We will not address questions that are, among other things:

•irrelevant to the business of the Company or to the business of the Annual Meeting;

•related to material non-public information of the Company, including the status or results of our business since our last Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q;

•related to any pending, threatened or ongoing litigation;

•related to personal grievances;

•derogatory references to individuals;

•substantially repetitious of questions already made by another stockholder;

•in excess of the two-question limit;

•in furtherance of the stockholder’s personal or business interests; or

•out of order or not otherwise suitable for the conduct of the Annual Meeting as determined by the Chair of the Annual Meeting or the Company’s Corporate Secretary in his or her reasonable judgment.

Additional information regarding the Q&A session will be available in the “Rules of Conduct” available on the Annual Meeting webpage for stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder (rather than as a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above.

Voting Your Shares

Stockholder of Record

If you are the record holder of your shares as of the Record Date, you may vote in one of four ways. Please note that you will need your virtual control number to vote. You may vote by submitting your proxy over the Internet, by telephone, or by mail or you may vote electronically during the Annual Meeting.


By Internet	By Telephone	By Mail	During the Meeting
By visiting www.voteproxy.com, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, until 11:59 pm, Pacific Time, on June 13, 2023.	You may vote your shares by calling 1-800-PROXIES (1-800-776-9437) in the United States or 1-718-921-8500 from foreign countries and follow the instructions, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, until 11:59 pm, Pacific Time, on June 13, 2023.	If you received a proxy card by mail, you may vote by completing, dating and signing the proxy card, and returning the proxy card using the instructions contained therein, which must be received prior to the Annual Meeting.	If you wish to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting, you will need to visit https://web.lumiagm.com/216187135 during the Annual Meeting while the polls are open.

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing your proxy card, by telephone, through the internet or online at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted. If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable, “For” the election of the two nominees for director. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

Street Name Stockholders.

If you are a street name stockholder, then you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. The availability of Internet and telephone voting options will depend on the voting process of your broker, bank or other nominee. We therefore recommend that you follow the voting instructions in the materials you receive. If your voting instruction form or Notice of Internet Availability indicates that you may vote your shares through the www.voteproxy.com website, then you may vote those shares at the Annual Meeting with the control number indicated on that voting instruction form or Notice of Internet Availability. Otherwise, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.

What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted or fail to provide timely directions to my broker, bank or other nominee?

Stockholder of Record. If you are a stockholder of record and you submit a proxy, but you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

•“FOR” the election of each Class II director nominees named in this proxy statement;

•“FOR” the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2023;

•“FOR” approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; and

•“EVERY YEAR” for future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

In addition, if any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will be authorized to vote or otherwise act on those matters in accordance with their judgment.

Street Name Stockholders. Under the rules of the NYSE, brokers, banks and other securities intermediaries that are subject to NYSE rules (whether the company in reference is listed on Nasdaq, NYSE or any other U.S. exchange) may use their discretion to vote your “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters considered to be “routine” under NYSE rules, but not

with respect to “non-routine” matters. In this regard, we believe that Proposal One, Proposal Three and Proposal Four are considered to be “non-routine” under NYSE rules, meaning that your broker may not vote your shares on those proposals in the absence of your voting instructions. However, Proposal Two is considered to be a “routine” matter under NYSE rules, meaning that if you do not return voting instructions to your broker by its deadline, your shares may be voted by your broker in its discretion on Proposal Two.

Brokers, banks, and other nominees holding shares of common stock in street name for customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker, bank or other nominee will have discretion to vote your shares on our sole routine matter (Proposal Two). Your broker, bank or other nominee will not have discretion to vote on Proposal One, Proposal Three or Proposal Four, each of which are considered non-routine, absent direction from you. In the event that your broker, bank or other nominee votes your shares on our sole routine matter, but is not able to vote your shares on the non-routine matter then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to the non-routine proposal (Proposal One, Proposal Three and Proposal Four). Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your shares are counted on each of the proposals.

What are the proposals?

There are four matters scheduled for a vote:

(1)Election of two directors (Proposal One);

(2)Ratification of selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (Proposal Two);

(3)An advisory vote to approve of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (Proposal Three); and

(4)An advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (Proposal Four).

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

What are the recommendations of the Board?

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to vote on the proposals set forth below. The Board recommends that you vote your shares as indicated below. If you return a properly completed proxy card or vote your shares by telephone or over the Internet, your shares of common stock will be voted on your behalf as you direct. If not otherwise specified, the shares of common stock represented by the proxies will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as follows:


			“FOR” the election of Jason Krikorian and Susan Repo as Class II directors;
			“FOR” the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm;
			“FOR” approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers;
			“EVERY YEAR” for future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; and
			In the discretion of the persons appointed as proxies, on any other items that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

How do I revoke my proxy or change my vote?

Voting over the Internet or by telephone or execution of a proxy will not in any way affect a stockholder’s right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote electronically. A proxy may be revoked before it is used to cast a vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you can revoke a proxy by doing one of the following:

•delivering a written notice of revocation to our Chief Legal Officer;

•grant a subsequent proxy by telephone or through the internet (subject to the applicable deadlines for each method as set forth above);

•duly executing a later-dated proxy card relating to the same shares and delivering it to our Corporate Secretary before the taking of the vote; or

•attending the Annual Meeting and voting electronically (although your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, automatically revoke your proxy).

What are the quorum requirements and how many votes are required?

The presence electronically or representation by proxy of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock of the Company and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are included in the shares present or represented at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. If a quorum is not present, the chair of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting until a quorum is obtained.

The table below sets forth the vote required for the approval of each proposal before the Annual Meeting, and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes.


Proposal	Votes Required	Effect of Votes Withheld/ Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
Proposal 1: Election of Directors	“FOR” votes from a plurality of shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter.

_______________

(1)This proposal is considered to be a “routine” matter under NYSE rules. Accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank or other agent, if subject to NYSE rules, has discretionary authority under NYSE rules to vote your shares on this proposal.

The votes will be counted, tabulated and certified by a representative of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC (“AST”), the Company’s inspector of election for the Annual Meeting. We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we intend to file with the SEC shortly after the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL ONE — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) of Matterport, Inc. currently consists of five (5) directors. As described in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”), our Board is divided into three (3) classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class has a three-year term. The term of our Class II directors expires at this Annual Meeting, the term of our Class III director expires at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, and the term of our Class I directors expires at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. A director elected by our Board to fill a vacancy in a class, including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors, shall serve for the remainder of the full term of that class and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified.

Our Board, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”), proposes that Mr. Krikorian and Ms. Repo be elected at the Annual Meeting, each of whom will hold office until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his or her respective successor is elected and qualified. Each of Mr. Krikorian and Ms. Repo currently serve on the Board and has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. Biographical information about each of the nominees and a discussion of the qualifications, attributes and skills of each nominee is contained below. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the annual meeting; however, it is expected that directors will attend.

The following table describes the schedule for the election of our directors over the next three annual meetings and the terms our directors will serve if elected.


Meeting	Class of Directors Standing for Election	Term
2024 Annual Meeting	Class III	Three-year term expiring at 2027 Annual Meeting
2025 Annual Meeting	Class I	Three-year term expiring at 2028 Annual Meeting
2026 Annual Meeting	Class II	Three-year term expiring at 2029 Annual Meeting

The Board has nominated Jason Krikorian and Susan Repo as Class II director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting. Jason Krikorian and Susan Repo currently serve on our Board and have indicated their willingness to continue to serve if elected. However, if any director nominee should be unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, the shares of common stock represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by our Board, or our Board may reduce its size. Our Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve if elected.

Board Recommendation


			Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each of Jason Krikorian and Susan Repo as Class II directors.

If you return a duly executed proxy card without specifying how your shares are to be voted, the persons named in the proxy card will vote to elect Jason Krikorian and Susan Repo as Class II directors.

The biographies of each of our current directors, including our Class II director nominees, are included below.

Director Independence

Our Board has determined that all of our non-employee directors, who are listed below, meet the applicable criteria for independence established by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). R.J. Pittman does not qualify as independent under the Nasdaq listing rules due to his employment as our Chief Executive Officer.


Independent Directors
•Peter Hébert
•Mike (Gus) Gustafson
•Jason Krikorian
•Susan Repo

In arriving at the foregoing independence determinations, the Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and any relationships they have with us and our management. The Board found that none of these directors or nominees for director had a material or other disqualifying relationship with the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board does not have a policy requiring the positions of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer to be separate or held by the same individual. The Board believes that this determination should be based on circumstances existing from time to time, based on criteria that are in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, including the composition, skills and experience of the board and its members, specific challenges faced by us or the industry in which we operate and governance efficiency. Our Board designated Mr. Pittman as Chairman of the Board because it believes that Mr. Pittman’s strategic vision for the business, his in-depth knowledge of Matterport’s operations, and his experience serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Matterport make him well qualified to serve as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

Board Meetings and Attendance

Board members are expected to prepare for, attend and participate in all meetings of the Board and committees on which they serve. Our Board held five meetings in 2022. During 2022, each director attended 100% of the aggregate of the total number of the Board meetings and committee meetings on which they then served. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the annual meeting; however, it is expected that directors will attend all applicable meetings.

Executive Sessions of Independent Directors

The Board holds executive sessions of its independent directors.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board views orientation and continuing education as vital tools for building an effective Board. We provide all new directors with orientation sessions regarding the Board and the Company’s operations. The orientation consists of presentations by members of senior management on the Company’s strategic plans, financial statements and key issues, policies and practices. We also periodically provide materials, updates and presentations, including in regular Board and committee meetings, to all directors on issues and subjects that assist them in fulfilling their responsibilities, such as key industry developments and the competitive landscape. In addition, the Company intends to pay for certain expenses for any director who wishes to attend seminars, conferences and other continuing education programs designed for directors of public companies.

Selection and Nomination of Directors

The Nominating Committee is responsible for determining the appropriate characteristics, skills, and experience for the Board as a whole and for its individual members. The Board believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including the highest personal integrity and ethics and the ability to read and understand basic financial statements. In considering candidates for Board membership, the Board considers additional criteria, including relevant expertise, sufficient time to devote to our affairs; excellence in their field, the ability to exercise sound judgment; a commitment to represent the long-term interests of our stockholders, and other factors that it deems appropriate to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience, and capability on the Board in the context of the needs of the Board and the Company.

Each year, the Nominating Committee assesses the directors to be nominated for election by stockholders at the annual meeting. To ensure that the Board evolves in a manner that serves the business and strategic needs of the Company, before recommending for nomination a slate of incumbent directors for an additional term, the Nominating Committee will evaluate whether incumbent directors possess the requisite skills and perspective, both individually and collectively. In addition, the Board will review those directors’ overall service to Matterport during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relationships and transactions that might impair the directors’ independence.

The Nominating Committee is primarily responsible for searching for qualified director candidates for election to the Board and filling vacancies on the Board. To facilitate the search process, the Nominating Committee may solicit current directors and executives of the Company for the names of potentially qualified candidates or ask directors and executives to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates or consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating Committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence from the Company and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the Nominating Committee for candidates for election as a director.

Corporate Governance Documents

We believe that good corporate governance is important to ensure that Matterport is managed for the long-term benefit of our stockholders. Our Nominating Committee will periodically review and reassess our Corporate Governance Guidelines, other governance documents and overall governance structure. Complete copies of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and committee charters are available on the “Corporate Governance” section of our website at https://investors.matterport.com/corporate-governance. The reference to the Company’s website address in this Proxy Statement does not include or incorporate by reference the information on the Company’s website into this Proxy Statement.

Code of Conduct

The Board has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”), which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Our Code of Conduct is available in the “Corporate Governance” section of our website. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or the Nasdaq listing rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of our Code of Conduct.

Information Regarding Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board has established three standing committees — the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating Committee — each of which operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board. Current copies of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating Committee charters are posted on the “Corporate Governance” section of our website. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the Board. The Board may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time. The Audit Committee held five meetings in 2022 and the Compensation Committee held three meetings in 2022. The Nominating Committee had two meetings in 2022.

Our Board has determined that all of the members of each of its committees are independent as defined under applicable Nasdaq listing rules. In addition, all members of the Audit Committee meet the heightened independence requirements contemplated by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and all members of the Compensation Committee satisfy the heightened independence requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules specific to the independence of compensation committee members.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board recognizes that the achievement of our strategic and commercial objectives involves taking risks and that those risks may evolve over time. The Board has oversight responsibility for Matterport’s risk management function, which is designed to identify, assess and monitor fundamental financial and business risks across the Company’s operations and consider ways to address and mitigate those risks. Consistent with this approach, one of the Board’s primary responsibilities includes reviewing assessments of, and advising management with respect to, significant risks and issues facing the Company, including the risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 endemic, logistical challenges, and geopolitical events.

In addition, the Board has tasked designated committees of the Board to assist with the oversight of certain categories of risk management, and the committees report to the Board regularly on these matters.

•The Audit Committee reviews and discusses guidelines and policies governing the process by which senior management assesses and manages the Company’s exposure to risk, as well as the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures;

•The Compensation Committee, in approving and evaluating the Company’s executive compensation plans, policies and programs, takes into account the degree of risk to the Company that such plans, policies and programs may create and reviews and discusses, at least annually, the relationship between risk management policies and practices, corporate strategy and the Company’s compensation arrangements; and

•The Nominating Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risks associated with Board organization, membership and structure, as well as our overall corporate governance structure.

Our Board does not believe that its role in the oversight of our risks affects the Board’s leadership structure.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE

Environmental, Social

In 2021, Matterport engaged Nasdaq ESG Advisory to conduct an assessment and review our existing policies, procedures, and with respect to ESG and later produced our first annual ESG report. In 2022, Matterport began collecting data on our greenhouse gas emissions to allow for monitoring, disclosing and reducing its impact over time. While we are early in our ESG journey, we believe that Matterport’s business is aligned with the underlying messages of ESG, and we expect to continue to explore, and report on, our efforts to pursue ESG opportunities as we navigate our ESG risks.

Stockholder Communications

The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders and will respond if and as appropriate. Our Chief Legal Officer is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and for providing copies or summaries to the directors, as appropriate. Historically, the Company has not provided a formal process related to stockholder communications with the Board. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to shareholders in a timely manner. The Company believes its responsiveness to stockholder communications to the Board has been excellent. Nevertheless, during the upcoming year, the Nominating Committee intends to give additional consideration to the adoption of a formal process for stockholder communications with the Board and, if adopted, publish it promptly and post it to the Company’s website.

Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Chief Legal Officer and Chairman of the Board consider to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications. Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board of Directors, c/o Matthew Zinn, Chief Legal Officer, Matterport, Inc., 352 East Java Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94089, or by email at: mzinn@matterport.com.

Prohibition on Hedging, Pledging, and Short Sales

Under the terms of our insider trading policy, our officers and directors are prohibited from short-selling our securities and are prohibited from holding our securities in a margin account. In addition, none of our directors or officers may pledge our securities as collateral for a loan, or buy or sell puts, calls, other derivative securities of the Company or any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of the Company’s securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of the Company’s securities, at any time, without the approval of the Audit Committee.

Executive Summary

Who We Are

Matterport is leading the digitization and datafication of the built world. We believe the digital transformation of the built world will fundamentally change the way people interact with buildings and the physical spaces around them.

Since our founding in 2011, Matterport’s pioneering technology has set the standard for digitizing, accessing and managing buildings, spaces and places online. Our platform’s innovative software, spatial data-driven data science, and 3D capture technology have broken down the barriers that have kept the largest asset class in the world, building and physical spaces, offline and underutilized for many years. We believe the digitization and datafication of the built world will continue to unlock significant operational efficiencies and property values, and that Matterport is the platform to lead this enormous global transformation.

Highlights of 2022 Performance

Specific highlights of our 2022 financial performance include:

•Annual revenue of $136.1 million; up 22% from 2021

•Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) exiting the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $77.2 million

We define ARR as four times the last quarter’s subscription revenue as such subscription revenue is reported in our financial statements.

Highlights of 2022 Executive Compensation Program

Consistent with our performance and compensation objectives for 2022, our Compensation Committee took the following key actions relating to the compensation of our named executive offers for such year.

•2022 Peer Group. Our Compensation Committee approved a peer group consisting of 22 similarly situated public companies for executive compensation comparisons and analysis and reviewed competitive market information for executive compensation to help inform its decisions made pertaining to NEO compensation during 2022.

•2022 Base Salary: In 2022, our Compensation Committee did not approve any changes to the annual base salaries of our NEOs except for an approximately 4% increase for Mr. Presunka to reflect his performance and to better align his base salary with the competitive market.

•2022 Short-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2022 Corporate Cash Incentive Program” or “CCIP”) Payouts. Our Compensation Committee adopted the 2022 Short-Term Incentive Compensation Plan that consisted of corporate performance measures and targets for all NEOs based on Company revenue, Spaces Under Management (“SUM”) and Net Promoter Score (“NPS”). The CCIP pays out quarterly, and corporate performance objectives were achieved in each quarter as follows (as a percentage of target):

◦Q1: 109%

◦Q2: 61%

◦Q3: 87%

◦Q4: 87%

More details on the bonuses paid with respect to these performance results can be found below in the section titled “2022 Short-Term Incentive Compensation Plan Bonuses.”

•2022 Long-Term Equity Incentives. In 2022, there were no equity awards granted to our NEOs except for a “refresh grant” made to Mr. Presunka to recognize his contributions to the Company and to better align his equity holdings to what our Compensation Committee considered to be consistent with the competitive market for his position, and a new hire equity award granted to Mr. Zinn, our Chief Legal Officer. For our other NEOs, including our CEO and Chief Financial Officer, our Compensation Committee evaluated equity awards previously granted to them in 2021 and determined, in light of those significant grants, not to grant further equity awards.

Stockholder Advisory Votes on Named Executive Officer Compensation

In 2022, we were an “Emerging Growth Company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as a result, were not required to hold non-binding, stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs (a “say-on-pay vote”) or the frequency of future say-on-pay votes (a “say-on-frequency vote”) vote. As of December 31, 2022, we are no longer an “Emerging Growth Company” and, accordingly, at the Annual Meeting to which this proxy statement relates, we will be conducting our initial say-on-pay and say-on-frequency votes. More details on each of these proposals, including our Board of Directors voting recommendations, can be found later in this proxy statement in the sections titled “Proposal Three: Advisory Vote on the Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers” and “Proposal Four: Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on the Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers.” Although these are non-binding advisory votes, we value the opinions of our stockholders, and our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the say-on-pay vote and the related say-on-frequency vote, in addition to other relevant stockholder feedback that may be received throughout the year, when making compensation decisions for our NEOs. For more information on the say-on-pay and say-on-frequency votes, please review the proposals set forth later in this proxy statement

Our Executive Compensation Philosophy

Through our “pay-for-performance” philosophy, our primary objective is to create value for our stockholders on a consistent and long-term basis. Our executive compensation strategy is designed to attract and retain high-performing individuals who will accelerate our growth. Our Compensation Committee believes our executive compensation program is designed to reward our executive team in alignment with our business objectives and long-term stockholder interests. Over the course of the past two years, our CEO and Board of Directors have been transforming Matterport from a private company into the publicly-traded company that it is today, poised for scale, led by a diverse, experienced and talented executive team and defined by a strong corporate governance structure. In support of this transformation, our executive compensation program and pay policies and practices have been tailored to attract, retain and incent talented leaders uniquely qualified to achieve our goals.

Our compensation philosophy emphasizes a strong correlation between executive pay and our performance, and we have structured our executive compensation program accordingly. Our Compensation Committee evaluates our executive compensation program on an ongoing basis to ensure that it is consistent with our short-term and long-term goals and objectives.

2022 Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

We endeavor to maintain sound governance standards consistent with our executive compensation policies and practices. Our Compensation Committee evaluates our executive compensation program on a regular basis to ensure that it is consistent with our short-term and long-term goals given the dynamic nature of our business and the market in which we compete for executive talent. The following summarizes our executive compensation and related policies and practices:

What We Do

•Maintain an Independent Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee consists solely of independent directors who establish our compensation policies and practices.

•Retain an Independent Compensation Advisor. Our Compensation Committee directly retains an independent compensation consultant to advise on the Company’s executive compensation program, policies and practices.

•Pay for Performance. A significant portion of our NEOs’ compensation is tied to the Company’s performance and the performance of the Company’s stock price.

•Multiple Performance Metrics. The CCIP uses multiple performance metrics as selected by our Compensation Committee. This approach discourages excessive risk-taking by removing any incentive to focus on a single performance goal to the detriment of the Company.

•Annual Executive Compensation Review. Our Compensation Committee conducts an annual review and approval of our compensation strategy, including a review and determination of our compensation peer group used for comparative purposes. Additionally, our Company conducts an annual compensation-related risk assessment under supervision of our Compensation Committee.

•Maintain Stock Ownership Guidelines for Officers and Directors. We maintain a stock ownership policy for our NEOs and our non-employee directors. By February 2027, or within five years of becoming subject to the policy, whichever is sooner, our CEO must hold shares with a fair market value of 5x his base salary, and our other NEOs must hold shares with a fair market value of 3x or 1x base salary, depending on the officer position. Our non-employee directors must hold shares with a fair market value of 5x the value of the base cash retainer within five years of joining our Board.

What We Do Not Do

•No Executive Retirement Plans. We do not offer retirement arrangements for our NEOs that are different from those offered to our other employees. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in our Section 401(k) retirement savings plan on the same basis as our other employees.

•No Guaranteed Bonuses. We do not provide guaranteed bonuses to any of our NEOs.

•No Enhanced Benefits or Excessive Perquisites: We do not maintain enhanced health benefits for our NEOs, instead providing such benefits on the same terms and conditions for regular, full-time employees, and do not permit excessive perquisites. We did not provide our NEOs with any perquisites in 2022.

•No Tax Gross-Ups. We do not pay tax gross-ups to cover personal income taxes or excise taxes that pertain to executive or change-in-control payments or benefits.

•No Dividends or Dividend Equivalents Payable on Unvested Equity Awards. We do not pay dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards.

•No “Single Trigger” for Cash Bonus or Equity at Change In Control. We do not provide our NEOs with an acceleration of their CCIP bonus or equity awards unless there is a change in control of the Company accompanied by a qualifying involuntary termination of employment.

•No Hedging or Pledging of our Equity Securities. We prohibit our employees, including our NEOs, and the non-employee members of our Board of Directors, from hedging or pledging our equity securities.

Process for Setting Executive Compensation

Role of the Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee acts on behalf of the Board of Directors in overseeing our compensation structure, programs, policies and practices generally, including the compensation of our NEOs. For most compensation determinations relating to our NEOs, our Compensation Committee makes a recommendation to our Board of Directors, which then makes final decisions.

Our Compensation Committee has responsibility for establishing our compensation philosophy and objectives; determining the structure and components of our executive compensation program, including the mix of various elements; and reviewing and approving the compensation of our NEOs and the risk to the Company resulting from our Company-wide compensation policies and practices. Our Compensation Committee has the authority to retain, and has retained, a compensation consultant to provide support to our Compensation Committee in its review and oversight of our executive

compensation program. Our Compensation Committee meets several times each year to review our executive compensation program, assess the Company’s compensation risk profile, approve the compensation peer group, establish the Company performance measures used to set the bonus metrics for the year, and review the target total direct compensation opportunities for our NEOs in order to ensure alignment with our compensation philosophy.

In making decisions about the compensation of our NEOs, the members of our Compensation Committee take a holistic approach that considers a number of factors, including:

•Our executive compensation program objectives;

•Our performance against the financial, operational and/or strategic objectives established by our Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors;

•Each individual NEO’s knowledge, skills, experience, qualifications and tenure;

•The scope of each NEO’s role and responsibilities compared to other similarly-situated executives at the companies in our compensation peer group and other broad-based compensation surveys;

•The performance of each individual NEO, based on a subjective assessment of the NEOs contributions to our overall performance, ability to lead the respective business unit or function and work as part of a team;

•The competitive nature of the technology executive labor market;

•The cost of replacing a NEO;

•The long-term potential of each individual NEO to contribute to our financial, operational and strategic objectives;

•Our CEO’s compensation relative to that of our other NEOs, as well as the parity amongst compensation of our other executive officers;

•Our financial, operational, and overall performance relative to that of our peers;

•The compensation practices of our compensation peer group and the positioning of each NEOs’ compensation in a ranking of compensation levels based on an analysis of competitive market data; and

•The recommendations of our CEO with respect to the compensation of our other NEOs.

These factors provide the framework for compensation decision-making and final decisions regarding the compensation opportunity for each NEO. No single factor is determinative in setting compensation levels, nor is the impact of any individual factor on the determination of pay levels quantifiable.

Our Compensation Committee does not weigh these factors in any predetermined manner, nor does it apply any formulas in developing its compensation decisions and/or recommendations to our Board of Directors. The members of our Compensation Committee consider all of this information in light of their individual experience, knowledge of the Company, knowledge of the competitive market, knowledge of each NEO and business judgment in making their decision.

Our Compensation Committee also considers the potential risks in our business when designing and administering our executive compensation program, and we believe our balanced approach to performance measurement and pay delivery works to avoid misaligned incentives for individuals to undertake excessive or inappropriate risk.

Role of Chief Executive Officer

Our CEO is present at Compensation Committee meetings, except when our Compensation Committee is in executive session or when his own compensation is being discussed. With regard to executive compensation, our CEO provides his evaluation of each NEO’s performance to our Compensation Committee and makes recommendations with respect to base salary, target annual cash bonus opportunities and long term incentive compensation opportunities for each of his direct reports. These recommendations are made after considering competitive market data drawn from our compensation peer group and other relevant sources (including broad-based compensation surveys), as well as each NEO’s responsibilities and impact to the organization. While these recommendations are considered by our Compensation Committee, the members of our Compensation Committee make their own determinations in light of their individual experience, knowledge of the Company, knowledge of the competitive market, knowledge of each NEO and exercise of business judgment.

Role of Compensation Consultant

Since 2021, Compensia, Inc., a national compensation consulting firm (“Compensia”), has been engaged as the compensation consultant of our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee has analyzed under the applicable SEC rules and the relevant Nasdaq listing standards whether the work of Compensia as a compensation consultant raises any conflict of interest and has determined that the work of Compensia has not created any conflict of interest. Compensia reviews and advises on all principal aspects of our executive compensation program. Its main responsibilities include:

•Providing independent advice to our Compensation Committee on current trends and best practices in compensation design and program alternatives, and advising on plans or practices that may improve the effectiveness of our compensation program;

•Preparing and presenting compensation peer group and broad compensation survey data for competitive comparisons and, based on this information, preparing independent analyses on NEO compensation, including our CEO and newly hired executives, and on non-employee directors’ compensation;

•Reviewing our equity compensation plan and assessing total share usage relative to our peers;

•Reviewing the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and other compensation-related disclosures in our proxy statements;

•Offering recommendations, insights and perspectives on compensation-related matters; and

•Assisting our Compensation Committee in designing an executive compensation program that is competitive and aligns the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders.

Compensation Peer Group

Our Compensation Committee has selected and approved a compensation peer group that it uses as a reference in understanding the market competitiveness of our executive compensation program. Our Compensation Committee evaluates this peer group on an annual basis to ensure that the companies selected remain appropriate.

To develop the 2022 compensation peer group, our Compensation Committee, in consultation with Compensia, considered companies that are in the technology sector and that are similar to us in terms of industry, revenue, and market capitalization. Specifically, in developing our peer group we considered as our primary selection criteria:

•Companies in a similar industry and competitive market for talent, including companies that:

◦are in the software industry;

◦have a similar business model;

◦have recently become a publicly-traded company;

◦have similar revenue growth; and

◦have similar market capitalization as a percent of revenue.

•Companies that had revenue within a range of 0.33 to 3.0 times our annual revenue; and

•Companies that had a market capitalization within a range of 0.33 to 3.0 times our market capitalization.

The following companies comprised our 2022 compensation peer group:


◦Alarm.com			◦Alkami Technology
◦Amplitude			◦AppFolio
◦Appgate			◦BlackLine
◦Blend Labs			◦Couchbase
◦CS Disco			◦Domo
◦Enfusion			◦Expensify
◦Five9			◦nCino
◦New Relic			◦ON24
◦Opendoor Technologies			◦Redfin
◦Sprout Social			◦Upland Software
◦UserTesting			◦8x8

Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

Our executive compensation program consists of three principal elements: base salary, short-term incentive compensation in the form of annual cash bonuses and long-term incentive compensation opportunities in the form of equity awards. We provide our NEOs access to Company-wide health and welfare benefit plans, which are consistent with the arrangements offered to our other employees. Finally, our NEOs are eligible to receive certain post-employment compensation payments and benefits under the Matterport, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”) adopted in 2022.

These principal elements of compensation are summarized below:


Element	Type of Element	Compensation Element	Objective
Base Salary	Fixed	Cash	Designed to attract and retain highly talented executives by providing fixed compensation amounts that are competitive in the market and reward performance
Short-Term Incentive Compensation	Variable	Cash	Designed to motivate our executives to achieve annual financial and operational business objectives and provide financial incentives when we meet or exceed these objectives
Long-Term Incentive Compensation	Variable	Equity awards in the form of RSU awards that may be settled for shares of our common stock	Designed to align the interests of our executives and our stockholders by motivating them to create sustainable stockholder value

Base Salary

Base salary represents the fixed portion of the compensation of our NEOs and is an important element of compensation intended to attract and retain highly talented individuals. Our Compensation Committee reviews and recommends annual base salary adjustments to our Board of Directors, and our Board of Directors determines adjustments to annual base salaries for each of our NEOs as part of the annual executive compensation review conducted by our Compensation Committee with related recommendations to our Board. Generally, our Compensation Committee uses base salary to provide each NEO with a specified level of cash compensation during the year with the expectation that he or she will perform his or her responsibilities to the best of his or her ability and in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders.

Generally, we establish the initial base salaries of our NEOs through negotiation at the time we hire the individual, taking into account his or her position, qualifications, experience, prior salary level and the base salaries of our other executive

officers. Thereafter, our Compensation Committee reviews the base salaries of our NEOs annually as part of its annual executive compensation review, with input from our CEO (except with respect to his own base salary) and makes adjustments, or recommends adjustments to our Board of Directors, and our Board of Directors makes adjustments, as each determines to be reasonable and necessary to reflect the scope of a NEO’s performance, individual contributions and responsibilities and market conditions.

In 2022, our Compensation Committee reviewed the annual base salaries of our NEOs, taking into consideration the Company’s recent SPAC transaction in 2021, the overall labor market and the recommendations of our CEO (except with respect to his own base salary), as well as the other factors described above. Following this review, our Compensation Committee determined to make no changes to the annual base salaries of our NEOs except for Mr. Presunka, who received a salary increase of approximately 4% to reflect his performance and to better align his base salary with the competitive market.

In addition, our Compensation Committee formulated a recommendation for the base salary for Mr. Zinn when he joined the Company in December 2022, and our Board of Directors approved such salary recommendation. Mr. Zinn’s annual base salary reflects not only his decades of experience as a chief legal officer but also an incentive for him to leave his former employer to join our Company.

Short-Term Incentive Compensation

We use the CCIP, an annual cash bonus plan, to motivate our employees, including our NEOs, to achieve our annual business objectives. The CCIP allows our Compensation Committee to provide cash bonus awards to our employees, including our NEOs, based upon our actual achievement of corporate performance objectives established by our Compensation Committee. Pursuant to the CCIP, our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors, in their discretion, establish a target annual cash award opportunity for each NEO, with actual awards payable in the form of cash on a quarterly basis with respect to the applicable performance period. For 2022, the bonus payments for our NEOs were based entirely on the achievement of corporate performance objectives, with no individual performance component, except in the case of Mr. Presunka whose target annual cash bonus opportunity contained an individual performance component weighted at 20% of his target annual cash bonus opportunity.

For 2022, the target annual cash bonus opportunities for our NEOs (expressed as a percentage of annual base salary), were as follows: 30% for Mr. Pittman, 35% for Mr. Fay, 100% for Mr. Remley, 30% for Mr. Zinn and 20% for Mr. Presunka. Because Mr. Zinn joined our Company in December 2022, he was only eligible to participate in the CCIP during Q4 on a prorated basis based on the number of days in the quarter that he was employed. For each participant, their CCIP award is capped at 150% of their individual target opportunity.

As the administrator of the plan, our Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion and at any time, increase, reduce or eliminate a participant’s actual award for a particular performance period. The actual award payout may be below, at or above a participant’s target annual cash bonus award opportunity, at the discretion of the administrator. Further, the administrator may determine the amount of any increase, reduction or elimination as it deems relevant, and it is not required to establish any allocation or weighting with respect to the factors it considers.

Under the CCIP, our Compensation Committee determined the corporate performance objectives and related target levels of achievement required for payouts under the 2022 annual bonus awards. In January 2022, our Compensation Committee determined that, in the case of our NEOs, the bonus awards would be eligible to be earned based on three corporate performance objectives:

•Spaces Under Management (SUM) - 33.33% weighting

•Revenue - 33.33% weighting

•Net Promoter Score (NPS) - 33.33% weighting

For Mr. Presunka, the weighting of these three performance objectives was the same as for the other officers for 80% of his target bonus, with the remaining 20% of his target annual cash bonus opportunity being based on individual performance as reviewed by our CFO on a quarterly basis. Mr. Presunka had the opportunity to earn more than the target annual cash bonus opportunity on his individual performance. Our Compensation Committee recommended the weighting and the individual performance metrics to our Board of Directors upon a determination that this was an appropriate weighting for Mr. Presunka given his role with and influence on overall corporate performance results.

Our Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors these three corporate performance objectives for the CCIP based on our strategic and business objectives as set forth in our annual operating plan approved by our Board of Directors. We chose SUM as a measurement of external growth in our Company’s business. We track the number of spaces that have been scanned and filed on the Matterport platform, which we refer to as SUM, because we believe that the number of spaces under management is an indicator of market penetration and the growth of our business. NPS is an industry-standard customer experience metric to measure the perception and loyalty of customers to a company. We chose NPS to focus the company on a customer-centric culture and to action continuous improvements to our customer experience. We measure NPS for purposes of the bonus plan by subtracting the detractors from the promoters in our NPS survey each quarter.

As reflected in our annual operating plan, the target levels established for each of the three corporate performance objectives for the full year of 2022 by our Compensation Committee were as follows:


Performance Metric	Weighting	Target Q1	Target Q2	Target Q3	Target Q4
Additional SUM	33.33%	600,000	700,000	714,000	688,000
Revenue	33.33%	$28,000,000	$36,100,000	$40,600,000	$44,500,000
NPS	33.33%	+0	+3	+2.55	+3.44

The bonus amounts payable under the CCIP for 2022 were as follows:


Named Executive Officer	Fiscal 2022 Base Salary $	Fiscal 2022 Target Bonus %	Fiscal 2022 Target Bonus $	Fiscal 2022 Actual Bonus $
R.J. Pittman	395,000	30%	118,500	101, 910
James D. Fay	370,500	35%	129,675	111,520
Jay Remley	295,000	100%	295,000	253,701
Matt Zinn	375,000	30% (prorated)	6,392	5,095
Peter Presunka	279,583	20%	55,917	50,075

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

In connection with the closing of the Merger, our Board of Directors adopted our 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, granted RSU awards to our NEOs under the 2021 Plan. We grant equity awards to our NEOs in order to attract and retain them, as well as to align their interests with the interests of our stockholders.

In October 2021, our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, granted our then executive officers a significant amount of RSUs with the right to be settled for and receive one share of our Class A common stock upon vesting in recognition of their continued service to the Company, with quarterly vesting over a period of four years measured from the date of grant. Each of Mr. Pittman, Mr. Fay and Mr. Remley received these RSU grants in October 2021.

In 2022, our Compensation Committee, in consultation with our Board of Directors and Compensia, reviewed competitive market data from our compensation peer group, including the annual equity awards granted to executives holding comparable positions at the companies in our compensation peer group. Following this review, our Compensation Committee determined not to grant “refresh” equity awards or any other long-term incentive compensation to our NEOs, except for Mr. Presunka, based on its assessment that the remaining unvested equity awards that had been granted to our NEOs in 2021 in connection with the Merger was sufficient at the current time.

Our Compensation Committee granted Mr. Presunka an RSU award covering 147,928 shares of our Class A common stock with four-year quarterly vesting to bring his equity holdings closer to the competitive market for his position.

In addition, in connection with his appointment as our Chief Legal Officer, our Compensation Committee granted Mr. Zinn an RSU award covering 1,805,055 shares of our Class A common stock, with a value of $5,000,000, as a part of his new hire package when he joined the Company in December 2022, both as an inducement to join the Company and also to make Mr. Zinn whole as a result of the long-term equity awards that he forfeited upon departure from his prior employer. The RSUs will vest 25% upon the first anniversary of Mr. Zinn’s start date and as to 1/16th of the remaining total RSUs on

each quarterly anniversary of his start date thereafter, subject to his continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

During 2022, we were party to employment offer letters with Messrs. Pittman, Fay, Remley, Zinn and Presunka, the material terms of which are summarized below. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors believe that employment offer letters are important to create a contractual relationship between our Company and our NEOs, and to set the initial terms of our employment relationship.

Other Compensation Policies and Practices

Health and Welfare Benefits

Our NEOs are eligible to receive the same employee benefits that are generally available to all employees, subject to the satisfaction of certain eligibility requirements. These benefits include medical, dental and vision insurance, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, basic life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance and partial reimbursement for mobile phone coverage.

Retirement Plans

We maintain a Section 401(k) retirement savings plan (“401(k) Plan”) that provides eligible U.S. employees, including our NEOs, with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Eligible employees are able to defer eligible compensation up to certain limits as set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which are updated annually. Pre-tax contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to the participant’s directions. All participant interests in their contributions are fully vested when contributed. The 401(k) Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, with the related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation program and further incentivizes our employees, including our NEOs, in accordance with our compensation policies.

Perquisites

We generally do not provide perquisites to our NEOs and did not provide any in 2022.

No Tax Gross-Ups

We do not provide gross-up payments to cover our NEOs’ personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation or, if applicable, perquisites paid or provided by our Company.

Hedging and Pledging Prohibition

Our Board of Directors has adopted an insider trading compliance policy that prohibits our employees, including our officers, and the non-employee members of our Board of Directors from engaging in certain hedging transactions involving our equity securities. The policy provides as follows:

“Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost and forward sale contracts, allow an officer, director or employee to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the officer, director or employee to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the officer, director or employee may no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other stockholders. Therefore, such transactions involving the Company’s equity securities are prohibited by this Policy.”

Additionally, our insider trading policy prohibits our employees, including our officers, and the non-employee members of our Board of Directors from pledging our equity securities. The policy provides as follows:

“Purchasing on margin means borrowing from a brokerage firm, bank, or other entity in order to purchase the Company’s securities (other than in connection with a cashless exercise of stock options under the Company’s equity plans). Margin purchases of the Company’s securities are prohibited by this Policy. Pledging the Company’s securities as collateral to

secure loans is also prohibited. This prohibition means, among other things, that you cannot hold the Company’s securities in a “margin account” (which would allow you to borrow against your holdings to buy securities).”

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Our Compensation Committee takes the applicable tax and accounting requirements into consideration in designing and overseeing our executive compensation program.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Our Compensation Committee takes accounting considerations into account in designing compensation plans and arrangements for our NEOs and other employees. Chief among these is Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC Topic 718”), the standard which governs the accounting treatment of certain stock-based compensation. Among other things, ASC Topic 718 requires us to record a compensation expense in our income statement for all equity awards granted to our executive officers, other employees and the non-employee members of our Board of Directors. This compensation expense is based on the grant date “fair value” of the equity award and, in most cases, will be recognized ratably over the award’s requisite service period (which, generally, will correspond to the award’s vesting schedule). This compensation expense is also reported in the compensation tables below, even though recipients may never realize any value from their equity awards.

Clawback Arrangements

Our 2021 Plan provides that the 2021 Plan administrator may specify in an award agreement for awards granted under such plan that the participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to the award will be subject to the reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of the award. All awards granted under the 2021 Plan also will be subject to our clawback policy as may be established and/or amended from time to time. The 2021 Plan administrator also may require a participant to forfeit, return or reimburse the Company all or a portion of the award and any amounts paid under the award pursuant to the terms of our clawback policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws.

We intend to adopt a general compensation recovery policy (or modify our existing policy) covering our short-term and long-term incentive award plans and arrangements once The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC has adopted an SEC-approved listing standard that complies with Exchange Act Rule 10D-1.

Compensation Committee Report

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based on this review and discussion, our Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2) Represents the value of exercised options calculated by multiplying (a) the number of shares of our Class A common stock to which the exercise of the option related, by (b) the difference between the per share unadjusted closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the options. No options were exercised in fiscal 2022.

(5) Represents the gross number of shares vested during fiscal 2022, which were subsequently released to Mr. Presunka in 2023.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

The information below describes certain compensation and benefits to which our NEOs are entitled in the event their employment is terminated under certain circumstances and/or a change of control occurs. See the table at the end of this section for the amount of compensation and benefits that would have become payable under existing plans and contractual arrangements assuming a termination of employment and/or change of control had occurred on December 31, 2022 assuming a market value of our Class A common stock on that date of $2.80 (which was the closing sale price of a share of our Class A common stock on the last trading day of the year) given the NEOs’ compensation and service levels as of such date. There can be no assurance that an actual triggering event would produce the same or similar results as those estimated if such event occurs on any other date or at any other price, or if any other assumption used to estimate potential payments and benefits is not correct. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any potential payments or benefits, any actual payments and benefits may be different.

Employment Offer Letters

Mr. Pittman’s Offer Letter

We entered into an employment offer letter with Mr. Pittman in November 2018, pursuant to which Mr. Pittman serves as our CEO. Mr. Pittman’s offer letter sets forth the terms and conditions of his initial employment, including his initial base salary, target annual cash bonus opportunity and terms of his initial stock option grants, and eligibility to participate in our employee benefit plans.

Mr. Fay’s Offer Letter

We entered into an employment offer letter with Mr. Fay in July 2017, pursuant to which Mr. Fay serves as our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Fay’s offer letter sets forth the terms and conditions of his initial employment, including his initial base salary, target annual cash bonus opportunity, an initial stock option grant, and eligibility to participate in our employee benefit plans.

Under his offer letter, if Mr. Fay’s employment with us is terminated without “cause” (as defined in the option agreement evidencing the stock option granted to him on October 5, 2017) or he resigns due to certain material adverse changes to his position, work location, base compensation or working conditions (an “Involuntary Termination”) within 24 months following a change in control of the Company, then he will be eligible for the following severance payments and benefits: (i) an amount equal to three months of his base salary, and (ii) an amount equal to his target annual cash bonus for the year

of termination, prorated based on the period during which Mr. Fay was employed during such year (plus an additional three months).

Mr. Remley’s Offer Letter

We entered into an employment offer letter with Mr. Remley in July 2019, pursuant to which Mr. Remley serves as our Chief Revenue Officer. Mr. Remley’s offer letter sets forth the terms and conditions of his initial employment, including his initial base salary, target annual cash bonus opportunity, an initial stock option grant, and eligibility to participate in our employee benefit plans.

Mr. Zinn’s Offer Letter

We entered into an employment offer letter with Mr. Zinn in December 2022, pursuant to which Mr. Zinn serves as our Chief Legal Officer. Mr. Zinn’s offer letter sets forth the terms and conditions of his initial employment, including his initial base salary, target annual cash bonus opportunity, an initial stock option grant, and eligibility to participate in our employee benefit plans. Mr. Zinn’s offer letter also provides for the payment of a sign-on bonus of $150,000.

Mr. Presunka’s Offer Letter

We entered into an employment offer letter with Mr. Presunka in December 2021, pursuant to which Mr. Presunka serves as our Chief Accounting Officer. Mr. Presunka’s offer letter sets forth the terms and conditions of his initial employment, including his initial base salary, target annual bonus opportunity, an initial stock option grant, and eligibility to participate in our employee benefit plans.

Executive Severance Plan

In December 2022, our Compensation Committee recommended, and our Board of Directors adopted, a change in control and severance plan under which our CEO and each executive employee who reports to the CEO, including all of our NEOs, except Mr. Presunka, are participants (the “Executive Severance Plan”). We believe that this benefit provides retention value by reducing any potential distractions caused by the possibility of a potential change in control, allowing our NEOs to focus on their duties and responsibilities. We believe these benefits are competitive relative to the severance payments and benefits provided to similarly situated individuals at the companies in our compensation peer group. The Executive Severance Plan superseded any existing change in control and severance benefits previously provided to the participants in the Executive Severance Plan.

The Executive Severance Plan provides for the payment of severance and other benefits to participants in the event of a termination of employment with the Company without cause or for good reason, each as defined in the Executive Severance Plan (each, a “Qualifying Termination”). In the event of a Qualifying Termination and subject to the participant’s execution of a participation notice and a general release of claims in favor of us, the Executive Severance Plan provides the following payments and benefits to the participants:

•a payment in cash equal to one year of base salary for our CEO and six months of base salary for our other executive officers;

•a payment in cash in an amount equal to any earned or unpaid cash bonus for any applicable performance period ending immediately prior to the performance period ongoing during which the date of termination occurs;

•an amount equal to the participant’s pro-rata bonus (calculated on the number of days employed during the performance period), payable at the same time as bonuses are paid to the other executive officers for the performance period, as is based on (a) actual performance for elements of the bonus unrelated to the participant’s individual performance, and (b) full satisfaction of elements of such bonus relating to the participant’s individual performance,

•if the participant has remained continuously employed with us for at least four full years as of the date of termination, accelerated vesting of each unvested equity award (at target performance levels, as applicable) held by the participant to the extent that the awards would have vested during the 12- month period following the date of termination for our CEO or the six month period following the date of termination for our other executive officers;

•an extended exercise period for options held by the participant as of the date of termination until the earlier of the firs
