Nominees for Director			Director Since
Douglas Carlisle has served as a member of our board of directors since April 2001, as a member of our audit committee since February 2005 and as a member of our nominating and corporate governance committee since February 2018. Since September 1984, Mr. Carlisle has been a general partner and managing director of Menlo Ventures, a venture capital firm investing primarily in engineering and technology-based early stage growth companies. Prior to that, from 1982 to September 1984, Mr. Carlisle was an associate at Menlo Ventures. Mr. Carlisle currently serves on the boards of directors of numerous private companies. Mr. Carlisle received a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and a J.D. and an M.B.A. from Stanford University. We believe Mr. Carlisle’s extensive experience advising growth-oriented technology companies as a venture capital investor, coupled with his experience as a director of various companies, qualifies him to serve on our board.			2001
Bill Gossman has served as a member of our board of directors since May 2016, as a member of our compensation committee from May 2016 to February 2018, as a member of our technology and security compliance committee from May 2016 to September 2019, as a member of our audit committee from February 2018 to April 2019, and as the chairman of our information and technology security committee since January 2021, and served as our acting chief financial officer from April 2001 to July 2001. Mr. Gossman has been a venture partner at Mohr Davidow Ventures since April 2009, when he rejoined the firm after serving from January 2001 to March 2003. In his capacity with Mohr Davidow, he has served on the boards of directors or as chief executive officer of several of its portfolio companies, including HealthTap since May 2018, Marble Security, Inc. from May 2011 to July 2014 and AudienceScience, Inc., where he served as chief executive officer from 2003 to 2007, and again, at the company's request, from June 2016 until June 2017. AudienceScience entered into receivership and began to wind up its operations in June 2017. Prior to Mohr Davidow, Mr. Gossman founded and served as the chief operating officer and chief financial officer for @mobile, a wireless networking company, until its sale to Openwave in 2000.

Mr. Gossman received a B.S. in engineering from Cornell University, an M.S. in engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an M.B.A. from the University of Maryland. We believe Mr. Gossman’s extensive senior management and business experience in venture capital, and as a founder, director and chief executive officer of numerous companies, qualifies him to serve on our board.			2016


Gary Locke has served as a member of our board of directors since August 2017 and as a member of our nominating and corporate governance committee since February 2018. Since 2014, Mr. Locke has been the chairman of Locke Global Strategies LLC, through which he provides strategic advice and consulting services to businesses in the United States and China.

Mr. Locke received a B.A. in political science from Yale University and a J.D. from Boston University. Mr. Locke has served as the interim President of Bellevue College in Bellevue, Washington since June 2020. We believe Mr. Locke’s extensive leadership, executive experience and global business perspective from his roles as the Governor of Washington, Secretary of Commerce and United States Ambassador to China, coupled with his experience as a director of other public companies, qualifies him to serve on our board.			2017


Continuing Directors			Director Since

We believe Mr. Carano’s technical engineering background and experience advising growth-oriented technology companies as a venture capital investor, coupled with his experience as a director of numerous public and private companies, qualifies him to serve on our board.			2001
Raymond Link has served as a member of our board of directors since December 2010, as a member of our compensation committee since December 2011 and as a member of our audit committee since December 2010.

Mr. Link received a B.S. in business administration from the State University of New York at Buffalo and an M.B.A. from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, is a licensed Certified Public Accountant and a fellow with the National Association of Corporate Directors.

Independent Compensation Committee and Compensation Consultant. The compensation committee is comprised solely of independent directors. Additionally, the compensation committee’s independent compensation consultant, Radford, is retained directly by the compensation committee. Risk Analysis. Compensation programs are structured to avoid inappropriate risk taking by our executives and all employees by having the appropriate pay philosophy to support reasonable business objectives. Incentive Award Opportunities Capped. We limit our performance-based cash incentive awards to 150% of the target, and we limit our performance-based equity incentive awards to 180-200% of the target. Pay-for-Performance. The majority of executive officer compensation is directly linked to achievement of financial, operational and/or strategic objectives with both cash incentives and performance-based equity being earned based upon achievement of pre-established goals.						Double-Trigger Change in Control Provisions. All equity awards granted to senior executives since our initial public offering in 2018 are subject to "double-trigger" provisions under our change in control agreements, and the level of severance thereunder is reasonable and comparable to market-competitive levels. Annual Executive Compensation Review. The compensation committee conducts an annual review of our executive compensation program, including a review and determination of our compensation peer group used for comparative purposes and other factors. Strict Equity Ownership Guidelines. We have adopted strict equity ownership guidelines for our executive officers and directors. Robust Clawback Policy. The compensation committee has adopted a compensation recoupment policy that allows us to recover certain incentive-based compensation payable to an executive officer if we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance, as a result of an executive officer’s misconduct or grossly negligent conduct, with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws.


No Special Perquisites. We did not provide, nor do we have any plans to provide, any special benefits or perquisites to our named executive officers in 2020. No Hedging or Pledging. Our insider trading policy strictly prohibits our directors and executive officers from purchasing options on our securities, pledging our stock in a margin account or otherwise entering into transactions designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our stock. No Guarantees of Employment. We do not have any employment contracts with any of our executive officers that guarantee a term of employment, contain extraordinary severance provisions or guarantee salary increases or bonus amounts.						No Special Retirement or Health and Welfare Benefit Plans. We do not offer, nor do we have plans to offer, supplemental pension arrangements, defined benefit retirement plans, nonqualified deferred compensation plans, or any special health and welfare benefits programs to our executive officers that are different from or in addition to what is offered to our other employees. No Dividends or Dividend Equivalents Payable on Unvested Equity Awards. We do not pay, nor do we have any plans to pay, dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested or unearned equity compensation awards.
