Voting and Meeting Information

This section provides information about participating in and voting at the Annual Meeting and summarizes certain information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement. This section does not contain all of the information that you should consider in deciding how to vote at the Annual Meeting, and you should read the entire proxy statement carefully before voting.

Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials on the internet?

We have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the internet. Accordingly, we have sent our stockholders the Notice because our Board is soliciting our stockholders’ proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting, including at any adjournments or postponements thereof. All stockholders may access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials on the internet or request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. We expect to mail the Notice on or about April 25, 2025 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

How do I attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online?

The Annual Meeting will be conducted virtually, via live webcast only. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. We believe the virtual format allows us to communicate effectively and efficiently with all of our stockholders while enhancing attendance and participation regardless of where a stockholder resides. Any stockholder can virtually attend the Annual Meeting live online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ROKU2025. Stockholders may vote and submit questions while attending the meeting online. Guests may also attend the Annual Meeting. If you log in to the virtual meeting as a guest, you will not be able to vote or ask a question during the meeting.

The Annual Meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. We encourage you to access the webcast prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 8:45 a.m. Pacific Time, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures. To enter the meeting as a stockholder, you will need a control number. Your control number will be included in the Notice or on your proxy card if you are a stockholder of record of shares of common stock (as defined below), or included with your voting instructions received from your broker, bank, or other agent if you hold your shares of common stock in “street name” (as defined below). Further information on how to attend and participate online is available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ROKU2025. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay for at least 30 days following the Annual Meeting on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ROKU2025.

How do I ask a question at the Annual Meeting?

Stockholders may submit written questions in advance of the Annual Meeting at www.proxyvote.com or during the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ROKU2025. If you wish to submit a question during the Annual Meeting, log in to the virtual meeting website using your control number, type your question into the “Ask a Question” field and click “Submit.” Questions and answers may be grouped by topic and substantially similar questions may be grouped and answered once. We will endeavor to answer as many questions related to the business of the Annual Meeting that comply with our Annual Meeting Rules of Conduct as time permits. Our Annual Meeting Rules of Conduct will be available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ROKU2025.

What if I need technical assistance?

Beginning at 8:45 a.m. Pacific Time on the date of the Annual Meeting, there will be a support team available to assist stockholders with any technical difficulties they may have accessing or hearing the virtual meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting while logging in or during the meeting time, you should contact the support team listed on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ROKU2025.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 14, 2025 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 129,534,451 shares of Class A common stock and 17,129,064 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote (together referred to as our common stock).

Stockholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If, on April 14, 2025, your shares of common stock were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote online during the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If, on April 14, 2025, your shares of common stock were held not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares of common stock held in “street name” and the Notice will be forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to virtually attend the Annual Meeting. Since you are not the stockholder of record, you may vote your shares online during the Annual Meeting only by following the instructions from your broker, bank, or other agent.

What matters am I voting on?

There are four matters scheduled for a vote:

•	Election of three Class II directors to hold office until our 2028 annual meeting of stockholders;

•	Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers (NEOs);

•	Approval, on an advisory basis, of the frequency of future advisory votes on our NEO compensation; and

•	Ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025.

What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting?

Our Board 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 proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

How do I vote?

For proposal 1, you may either vote “For” the nominees to our Board or you may “Withhold” your vote for any nominee you specify. With regard to Proposals 2 and 4, you may vote “For” or “Against” or you may “Abstain” from voting on the matter. With regard to Proposal 3, you may vote for any one of the following: “One Year,” “Two Years,” or “Three Years,” or you may “Abstain” from voting on the matter.

Stockholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote online during the Annual Meeting, vote by proxy through the internet, vote by proxy over the telephone, or vote by proxy using a proxy card that you may request. Whether or not you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. Even if you submitted a proxy before the Annual Meeting, you may still attend the Annual Meeting online and vote during the meeting. In such case, your previously submitted proxy will be disregarded.

•	To vote online during the Annual Meeting, follow the provided instructions to join the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ROKU2025 starting at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time on June 11, 2025.

•	To vote online before the Annual Meeting, go to www.proxyvote.com.

•	To vote by toll-free telephone, call 1-800-690-6903 (be sure to have your Notice or proxy card in hand when you call).

•	To vote by mail, complete, sign, and date the proxy card or voting instruction card, and return it promptly in the envelope provided.

If we receive your vote by internet or phone or your signed proxy card up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 10, 2025, we will vote your shares as you direct.

To vote, you will need your control number. The control number will be included in the Notice or on your proxy card if you are a stockholder of record of shares of common stock, or included with your voting instructions received from your broker, bank, or other agent if you hold your shares of common stock in “street name.”

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received a Notice containing voting instructions from that organization rather than from us. Follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote online during the Annual Meeting, you must follow the instructions from your broker, bank, or other agent.

Internet proxy voting is provided to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions.

Can I change my vote?

Yes. Subject to the voting deadlines above, if you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before the close of voting using one of the following methods:

•	You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date.

•	You may grant a subsequent proxy by telephone or through the internet.

•	You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to the office of our Corporate Secretary via email at [email protected] or via mail at Roku, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 1701 Junction Ct., Suite 100, San Jose, California 95112.

•	You may attend and vote online during the Annual Meeting. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held by your broker, bank, or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by such party.

Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What happens if I do not vote?

Stockholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote during the Annual Meeting, or through the internet, by telephone, or by mailing your proxy card, your shares will not be voted. If we receive your vote by internet or telephone or your signed proxy card up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 10, 2025, or if you vote during the allotted time during the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct. If you are stockholder of record, please instruct our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, to ensure that your vote will be counted.

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted because the broker did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and the broker lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares. Abstentions represent a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal, and occur when shares present at the Annual Meeting are marked “abstain.” Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

A broker has discretionary authority to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “routine” matters without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. Absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “non-routine” matters.

Proposals 1, 2, and 3 are non-routine matters so your broker or other agent may not vote your shares on Proposals 1, 2, or 3 without your instructions. Proposal 4 is a routine matter so your broker or other agent may vote your shares on Proposal 4 even in the absence of your instruction. If you are a beneficial owner, please instruct your broker, bank, or other agent to ensure that your vote will be counted.

What if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote but do not make specific choices?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote but do not make specific choices, your shares will be voted FOR the election of each Class II director nominee, FOR the advisory approval of our NEO compensation, FOR “One Year” as the preferred frequency of future advisory votes on our NEO compensation, and FOR the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, a proxyholder (one of the individuals named on the proxy card) will vote your shares of common stock using their best judgment.

How many votes do I have?

Each holder of Class A common stock will have the right to one vote per share of Class A common stock and each holder of Class B common stock will have the right to ten votes per share of Class B common stock. Our Class A and Class B common stock will vote as a single class on all matters described in this proxy statement for which your vote is being solicited. Stockholders are not permitted to cumulate votes with respect to the election of directors.

How do I find out whether I have Class A or Class B common stock?

If you are unsure whether you hold shares of Class A or Class B common stock, you may contact our stock administrator at [email protected].

Who counts the votes?

We have engaged Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge) as our independent agent to tabulate stockholder votes. If you are a stockholder of record, and you choose to vote over the internet (either prior to or during the Annual Meeting) or by telephone, Broadridge will access and tabulate your vote electronically, and if you choose to sign and mail your proxy card, your executed proxy card is returned directly to Broadridge for tabulation. As noted above, if you hold your shares through a broker, your broker (or its agent for tabulating votes of shares held in street name, as applicable) returns one proxy card to Broadridge on behalf of all its clients.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokers, banks, and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s annual meeting?

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Brought Before an Annual Meeting

Our bylaws provide that, for stockholder director nominations or other proposals to be considered at an annual meeting, the stockholder must give timely notice thereof in writing to our Corporate Secretary. This notice may be delivered to us via email at [email protected] or via mail at Roku, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 1701 Junction Ct, Suite 100, San Jose, California 95112. To be timely for the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders,

Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices between February 11, 2026 and March 13, 2026, provided that if the date of that annual meeting of stockholders is earlier than May 12, 2026 or later than July 11, 2026, you must give the required notice not earlier than the 120th day prior to the annual meeting date and not later than the 90th day prior to the annual meeting date or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of that meeting date is first made. A stockholder’s notice to the Corporate Secretary must also set forth the information required by our bylaws.

To comply with the universal proxy rules, in addition to satisfying the requirements under our bylaws, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than Roku’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) no later than April 13, 2026. However, we note that the deadline provided for in Rule 14a-19 does not supersede any of the requirements or timing required by our bylaws. We encourage stockholders who wish to submit a proposal or nomination to seek independent counsel.

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Considered for Inclusion in Our Proxy Materials

Stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, and intended to be presented at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by us not later than December 26, 2025 in order to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for that meeting. Such proposals may be delivered to us via email at [email protected] or via mail at Roku, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 1701 Junction Ct., Suite 100, San Jose, California 95112.

Please refer to our bylaws and Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act for additional information and requirements regarding stockholder proposals and director nominations. We will not consider any proposal or nomination that is not timely or otherwise does not meet our bylaws and the SEC’s requirements for submitting a proposal or nomination, as applicable. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal or nomination that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of our common stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present at the meeting or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were 129,534,451 shares of Class A common stock and 17,129,064 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Our Class A common stock has one vote per share and our Class B common stock has ten votes per share. To have a quorum, the holders of shares representing an aggregate of 150,412,546 votes must be present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank, or other agent) or if you vote during the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, either the chairperson of the Annual Meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote that are present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy may adjourn the Annual Meeting to another date.

How can I find the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

We expect that preliminary voting results will be announced during the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice?

If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or they may be held in different brokerage or other accounts. Please follow the instructions on each Notice to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

What if multiple members of my household are stockholders, but we only received one Notice or full set of proxy materials?

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to deliver a single Notice or set of proxy materials to stockholders sharing the same address. In accordance with these rules, we are sending only one Notice or full set of proxy materials to addresses with multiple stockholders unless we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” reduces printing and postage costs and conserves natural resources. To receive a separate copy of the Notice or, if applicable, our proxy materials, contact Broadridge at 1-866-540-7095 or write to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. A separate copy will be delivered promptly in response to any such request. If you would like to request householding, please contact Broadridge or your broker. Once you have elected householding, it will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.

Director Independence

Our Class A common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (Nasdaq). Under the Nasdaq listing standards, independent directors must comprise a majority of our Board. The Nasdaq listing standards also require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Audit and compensation committee members also must satisfy certain additional independence criteria set forth in the Nasdaq listing standards and the Exchange Act.

Our Board annually reviews its composition, the composition of its committees, and the independence of its directors and director nominees. As a result of this review and based upon information requested from and provided by each director and nominee concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board has determined that Mr. Ahuja, Mr. Blackburn, Ms. Fyfield, Mr. Hastings, Dr. Hodrick, Dr. Hunt, Ms. Luna, and Mr. Rothrock do not have any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors

Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

is independent under the applicable SEC rules and the Nasdaq listing standards. In particular, for Mr. Ahuja, our Board considered that Mr. Ahuja currently serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., an affiliate of Sony Group Corporation, a multinational technology and media company. For Dr. Hunt, our Board considered that Dr. Hunt previously served as a consultant to, and currently serves as a director of, Sony Group Corporation. Affiliates of Sony Group Corporation engage in ordinary course licensing and advertising transactions with Roku. Our Board concluded that such transactions, relationships, and arrangements involving each of Mr. Ahuja and Dr. Hunt did not impair the independence of such directors. In addition, the Board determined that Mr. Hastings is now independent, as over three years have passed since the sale of BrightSign LLC in October 2021, where he is the CTO (and previously served as the CEO). Upon completion of the sale, Mr. Wood was no longer chairman of the board and the majority stockholder of BrightSign.

Our Board determined that Mr. Wood is not independent given his position as our CEO. Accordingly, a majority of our directors are independent, as required under applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

Board Leadership Structure

Mr. Wood serves as the Chairman of our Board. Although we have not appointed a lead independent director, our Board believes that the current board leadership structure, coupled with a strong emphasis on board independence, provides effective independent oversight of management while allowing the Board and management to benefit from the extensive executive leadership and operational experience of Mr. Wood. Independent directors and management sometimes have different perspectives and roles in strategy development. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight, and expertise from outside of our company, while Mr. Wood brings company-specific experience and expertise.

Executive Sessions of Independent Directors

To encourage and enhance communication among independent directors, and as required under the Nasdaq listing standards, our independent directors meet in executive session regularly (no less than twice per year) without non-independent directors present.

Board Meetings

Our Board is responsible for the oversight of company management and the strategy of our company and for establishing corporate policies. Our Board and its committees meet throughout the year on a regular schedule, and also hold special meetings and act by written consent from time to time. In 2024, our Board met four times and acted by unanimous written consent once. Each director attended 75% or more of the aggregate of the meetings of our Board and of the committees on which he or she served in 2024. We encourage our directors and director nominees to attend our annual meeting of stockholders. All of our directors attended the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

In addition, our Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with applicable requirements. In arriving at these determinations, our Board examined each Audit Committee member’s scope of experience, employment history, and education.

Compensation Committee

Our Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is independent under the heightened Nasdaq listing standards for compensation committee members, and each is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. In 2024, the Compensation Committee met eight times and acted by unanimous written consent six times.

The primary purpose of the Compensation Committee is to discharge the responsibilities of our Board to oversee our compensation policies, plans, and programs and to review and determine the compensation to be paid to our executive officers, non-employee directors, and other senior management, as appropriate. Responsibilities of our Compensation Committee include:

•	reviewing and approving our overall compensation strategy and policies;

•	reviewing and approving the compensation of our executive officers and, as appropriate, other senior management;

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

In 2024, our Compensation Committee was comprised of Mr. Ahuja (through March 31, 2024), Mr. Blackburn, Dr. Hunt, and Mr. Rothrock, none of whom is or has ever been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers serves on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company that has an executive officer that serves on our Board or Compensation Committee. No member of our Board is an executive officer of a company in which one of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of that company.

Board and Committee Self-Evaluations

Our Board and its committees conduct annual self-evaluations to determine whether they are functioning effectively and whether any changes are necessary to improve their performance. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for establishing the evaluation criteria and implementing the process for the evaluation. Each director is individually interviewed to assist us in assessing effectiveness. The results are reported and discussed at meetings of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board. As appropriate, the self-evaluations result in updates or changes to our corporate governance practices.

Nominations Process and Director Qualifications

Nomination to Our Board

Candidates for nomination to our Board are selected by our Board based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with the committee’s charter, our policies, our certificate of incorporation, and our bylaws. In recommending candidates for nomination, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates recommended by directors, officers, employees, and stockholders, using the same criteria to evaluate all such candidates. A stockholder or employee who wishes to suggest a candidate for the committee’s consideration should send the candidate’s name and qualifications to the office of our Corporate Secretary via email at [email protected] or via mail at Roku, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 1701 Junction Ct., Suite 100, San Jose, California 95112. Evaluations of candidates generally involve a review of background materials, internal discussions, and interviews with selected candidates as appropriate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may engage consultants or third-party search firms to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees.

Information regarding the process for stockholders who wish to submit director nominations to be presented at our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders is set forth above under “Voting and Meeting Information—When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s annual meeting?”

Director Qualifications

With the goal of developing an experienced and highly qualified Board with a broad range of perspectives, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for recommending to our Board the desired qualifications, expertise, and characteristics of director nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks nominees who exhibit integrity, collegiality, sound business judgment, and other qualities deemed critical to effective functioning of our Board, including experience or expertise in the following areas:

•	Media, entertainment, and technology industry knowledge;

•	Finance and accounting expertise;

•	Service on public and private company boards;

•	International business experience;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•	Experience in academia; and

•	Corporate governance expertise.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider a variety of factors, such as professional experience, education, international experience, skills, and other individual qualifications and attributes. The factors to be considered include whether the directors, both individually and collectively, can and do provide the integrity, experience, judgment, commitment (including having sufficient time to devote to the Board and a sufficient level of participation), skills and expertise appropriate for Roku.

Communications with the Board

Stockholders or interested parties who wish to communicate with our Board or with an individual director may do so by email or mail, care of the office of our Corporate Secretary at [email protected] or at Roku, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 1701 Junction Ct., Suite 100, San Jose, California 95112.

Code of Conduct and Business Ethics

Our Board has adopted a Code of Conduct and Business Ethics that applies to all of our employees, contingent workers, officers, and directors, including our CEO, CFO, and other executive and senior financial officers.

Risk Oversight


	Board of Directors
	Our Board oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk management, designed to support the achievement of organizational and strategic objectives and improve long-term organizational performance. A fundamental part of risk management oversight is not only understanding the most significant risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for a given company. Our Board, as a whole, determines the appropriate level of risk for Roku, assesses the specific risks that we face, and reviews management’s strategies for adequately mitigating and managing the identified risks. Our Board seeks to promote an effective, ongoing risk dialogue with management, design an appropriate risk oversight relationship between the Board and its committees, and ensure that appropriate resources support risk management systems. Our Board administers our overall risk management oversight function, and the committees of our Board support our Board in discharging its oversight duties and addressing risks inherent in their respective areas, as described below.

Director Compensation

We compensate our non-employee directors for their service on our Board with a combination of cash and equity awards, the amounts of which are commensurate with their roles and involvement, and consistent with peer company practices. In setting director compensation, we consider the amount of time our directors expend in fulfilling their duties as well as the skill level required of members of our Board. Mr. Wood, our CEO, does not receive additional compensation for his service as a director.

The Compensation Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, has the primary responsibility for evaluating changes to our non-employee director compensation program and recommends changes, if any, to the full Board for its consideration and approval. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews and assesses the level, type, and form of compensation paid to our non-employee directors with the assistance of Compensia, Inc. (Compensia), a national compensation consulting firm. After consultation with Compensia pursuant to this review process in 2024, including review of non-employee director compensation trends and data from companies that are in our executive officer compensation peer group, the Compensation Committee made the following change to our non-employee director compensation program for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025: effective as of January 1, 2025, the target value of annual and initial non-employee director equity grants increased from $240,000 to $260,000.

Our 2024 non-employee director compensation program is described in detail below.

Cash Compensation

In 2024, each non-employee director received an annual cash retainer of $45,000 for serving on our Board. In addition, the chairs and members of the committees of our Board received the following additional annual cash retainers:


Board Committee	Chairperson Fee ($)	Member Fee ($)
Audit Committee	25,000	10,000
Compensation Committee	20,000	8,000
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee	10,000	5,000

All annual cash compensation amounts are payable in equal quarterly installments in arrears, generally no later than the last day of each quarter for which the service occurred, prorated for any partial months served in the applicable fiscal quarter.

Equity Compensation

Annual Grants

In 2024, on the date of our annual meeting of stockholders, each non-employee director received an equity grant for shares of our Class A common stock with a target value of $240,000 under our Amended and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2017 Plan), consisting of 50% in stock options vesting monthly over one year from the grant date and 50% in restricted stock units (RSUs) vesting on the earlier of the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders and the first anniversary of the grant date, each subject to continued service as a director through the applicable vesting date.

We determined the number of stock options granted by dividing the target value of the equity award by the average closing price of our Class A common stock over the 28 calendar days ending five trading days prior to the grant date, and multiplying that number by a factor intended to approximate a Black-Scholes value (which, for the 2024 annual equity grants, was 1.8). We determined the number of RSUs granted by dividing the target value of the

18	Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

equity award by the average closing price of our Class A common stock over the 28 calendar days ending five trading days prior to the grant date. We used an average stock price, rather than a single day stock price, to provide a more stabilized stock value that is less susceptible to possible swings in the market. Each stock option has a term of ten years from the grant date, subject to earlier termination of vesting in connection with a termination of the non-employee director’s continuous service with us. The exercise price per share of each stock option was the closing price of our Class A common stock on the grant date.

Initial Grants

In 2024, any new non-employee director joining our Board would have received an equity grant for shares of our Class A common stock with a target value of $240,000 under the 2017 Plan, prorated on a monthly basis for the period commencing on the new director’s start date and ending on the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders. Any such new director equity grant would have consisted of 50% in stock options vesting monthly through the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders and 50% in RSUs vesting on the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders, each subject to continued service as a director through each applicable vesting date, with the number of stock options and RSUs determined in the same manner as described in “Equity Compensation—Annual Grants” above. No new directors joined our Board in 2024. Accordingly, no such initial grants were made in 2024.

Vesting Acceleration

In the event of a change in control (as defined in our 2017 Plan), the unvested portion of an equity award granted to our non-employee directors will fully vest and become exercisable, as applicable, immediately prior to the effective date of such change in control, subject to the non-employee director’s continuous service with us until immediately prior to the closing of the change in control.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Table

The following table provides information on all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each of our non-employee directors in the year ended December 31, 2024. As an NEO, Mr. Wood did not receive any additional compensation in connection with his service on our Board.

Amounts shown in this column do not reflect dollar amounts actually realized by our non-employee directors. Instead, these amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of each RSU or stock option, as applicable, granted in 2024, computed in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (FASB ASC Topic 718). Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025. As required by SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. In the case of stock options, our non-employee directors will only realize compensation to the extent the trading price of our Class A common stock is greater than the exercise price of such stock options at the time of exercise.

Proposal 1

Election of Class II Directors

Our Board is divided into three classes with the members of each class serving as a director for a three-year term, and with the terms of office of the respective classes expiring in successive years.

Our Board presently has nine members, and our directors currently are divided into three classes as follows:

•	Class I directors: Ravi Ahuja, Mai Fyfield, and Laurie Simon Hodrick

•	Class II directors: Jeffrey Blackburn, Gina Luna, and Ray Rothrock

•	Class III directors: Jeffrey Hastings, Neil Hunt, and Anthony Wood

As noted above, Mr. Ahuja previously notified the Board of his intention to resign from the Board effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting. Upon Mr. Ahuja’s resignation, the size of the Board will be reduced from nine to eight directors.

The terms of the Class II directors will expire at the Annual Meeting. The terms of the Class I and Class III directors will expire at the annual meetings of stockholders to be held in 2027 and 2026, respectively.

Our Board proposes the election of Mr. Blackburn, Ms. Luna, and Mr. Rothrock at the Annual Meeting to serve as Class II directors for a three-year term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028 and until each such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until each such director’s earlier death, resignation, or removal. Mr. Blackburn, Ms. Luna, and Mr. Rothrock have agreed to stand for election as Class II directors.

Should any director nominee become unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, your proxy authorizes the persons named as proxies to vote for a substitute nominee if our Board so chooses, or our Board may reduce its size.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to assemble a board that, as a group, can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment, leveraging our directors’ broad range of backgrounds and experience in various areas. To that end, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has identified and evaluated nominees in the broader context of our Board’s overall composition, with the goal of recruiting members who complement and strengthen the skills of other members and who also exhibit integrity, collegiality, sound business judgment, and other qualities deemed critical to effective functioning of our Board.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are seeking approval, on a non-binding and advisory basis, of the compensation of our NEOs for the year ended December 31, 2024, as described in this proxy statement in the sections entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation.” This non-binding, advisory vote is commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote. The say-on-pay vote is not intended to address any specific items of compensation or the compensation of a specific NEO, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the compensation philosophy, policies, and practices described in this proxy statement. We currently hold our advisory say-on-pay vote every year. Stockholders will have an opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory say-on-pay votes at this year’s Annual Meeting (see Proposal 3 below).

As described in more detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our compensation philosophy is designed to attract, retain, and reward talented individuals. Our compensation practices are guided by market rates and tailored to account for the specific needs and responsibilities of the particular role as well as the unique qualifications of the individual employee.

The vote on this proposal is advisory and is not binding. However, our Board and our Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing the compensation program of our NEOs, value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal, and our Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.

Advisory approval of this say-on-pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the Annual Meeting.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NEOS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Proposal 3

Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on the Compensation of Our NEOs

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing stockholders the opportunity to indicate a preference for how frequently we should hold future advisory votes to approve the compensation of our NEOs. Stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer to have future advisory votes to approve the compensation of our NEOs every year, every two years, or every three years, or may abstain from voting on this proposal.

After careful consideration, the Board recommends that future advisory votes to approve the compensation of our NEOs be held annually. Our Board believes that holding a vote every year is the most appropriate option because it would enable our stockholders to provide us with input regarding the compensation of our NEOs on a timely basis.

The vote on this proposal is advisory and is not binding. Although the vote is non-binding, our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote in establishing the frequency with which the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs will be held in the future. The frequency that receives the greatest number of votes cast by stockholders on this matter at the Annual Meeting will be considered the advisory vote of our stockholders.

It is expected that the next advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs will occur at the 2031 annual meeting of stockholders.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL TO HOLD FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES TO APPROVE NEO COMPENSATION EVERY “ONE YEAR.”

Proposal 4

Ratification of Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has re-appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025 and has directed that management submit this selection for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Although it is not required by law, we believe that it is good practice to request ratification of this selection by our stockholders. In the event that Deloitte & Touche LLP is not ratified by our stockholders, the Audit Committee will review its future selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Deloitte & Touche LLP has audited our financial statements since 2011. Even if the selection is ratified, our Board or the Audit Committee may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of Roku and its stockholders.

Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present during the Annual Meeting, where they will be available to respond to appropriate questions and, if they desire, to make a statement.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under the Pre-Approval Policy, the Audit Committee pre-approves specified services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and permissible other services up to specified dollar amounts.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 with the management of Roku. The Audit Committee has discussed with its independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from its independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountants’ communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the accounting firm’s independence. Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee has recommended to our Board that the audited financial statements be included in Roku’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In calculating the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership of each person listed, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of our common stock subject to options held by the person that are currently exercisable or that will become exercisable within 60 days of April 14, 2025 and all RSUs held by the person that will vest within 60 days of April 14, 2025. However, we did not deem such shares or RSUs outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of any other person.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the SEC rules and generally includes any shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons listed have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. The information in this table is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose, and the inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis summarizes our compensation philosophy, objectives, policies, and structure for the Named Executive Officers (NEOs) listed below for the year ended December 31, 2024. Further details regarding the compensation of our NEOs are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table and the other tables in the “Executive Compensation” section below.

2024 Named Executive Officers

•	Anthony Wood, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman

•	Dan Jedda, Chief Financial Officer

•	Charlie Collier, President, Roku Media

•	Mustafa Ozgen, President, Devices, Products, and Technology

•	Louise Pentland, Senior Vice President and General Counsel

•	Gidon Katz, Former Senior Vice President, Platform Products and User Experience

Each of our current NEOs brings extensive industry knowledge and leadership experience to Roku. Mr. Wood, our founder and CEO, is a pioneer and innovator in the TV and digital media industries and has led our company since its inception. Mr. Collier oversees the growth and evolution of Roku Media globally, which includes ad sales and Roku’s ad platform business, as well as content for Roku’s owned and operated channels, including The Roku Channel. Mr. Ozgen oversees programs related to Roku’s devices, including Roku TV, players, soundbars, and smart home products, among others. Mr. Jedda oversees Roku’s Finance organization, and Ms. Pentland, who joined Roku in July 2024, leads Roku’s Legal and Governmental Relations organization. Mr. Katz ceased service as an executive officer in March 2024 and departed Roku effective April 15, 2025.

Compensation Philosophy

Our compensation philosophy is designed to establish and maintain an executive compensation program that attracts, retains, and rewards talented executives who possess the skills necessary for Roku to achieve its strategic objectives. As a result, we endeavor to pay competitive total compensation that is guided by market rates and tailored to each executive to account for the specific needs and responsibilities of the executive’s position, as well as the executive’s unique qualifications. The total compensation paid to our executive officers is comprised of salary and equity awards. We do not pay our executive officers cash bonuses or grant equity awards tied to either individual or corporate performance goals because we expect our executives to perform at the highest level regardless of possible bonus or other award payouts. In determining each executive officer’s total compensation, we consider, among other factors, what an executive officer would be paid by another employer, what we would have to pay to replace the executive officer, and the amount we would pay to retain the executive officer.

Compensation Setting Process

Role of the Compensation Committee, CEO, and Compensation Adviser

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for setting the total compensation for our NEOs and reports to our Board on its discussions, decisions, and other actions. Our CEO typically attends Compensation Committee meetings and makes recommendations to our Compensation Committee regarding the total compensation of the other NEOs, but he is not present during discussion, deliberation, or decisions regarding his own compensation. The Compensation Committee then reviews the recommendations and a competitive market analysis based on our compensation peer group and relevant survey data prepared by Compensia, a national compensation consulting firm, and makes decisions as to the total compensation for each NEO, as well as the allocation of the amount of total compensation between salary and equity awards.

Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Compensation Committee is authorized, in its sole discretion, to retain the services of compensation consultants, outside legal counsel, and such other advisers as necessary to assist with the execution of its duties and responsibilities. During 2024, our Compensation Committee retained Compensia to serve as its independent compensation consultant and to assist it in fulfilling its duties. Compensia performed various projects for the Compensation Committee, including assisting in determining compensation peer group composition, providing support and specific analyses with regard to compensation data for executive officer and non-employee director compensation, and other compensation-related matters. Compensia uses the competitive market data described below to prepare an analysis reflecting cash and equity compensation levels consistent with the practices of the companies in our compensation peer group for the Compensation Committee to consider.

Compensia attends Compensation Committee meetings, executive sessions, and preparatory meetings with the committee chair and certain of our executive officers and employees, as requested by the Compensation Committee. Compensia provides no services to Roku, or its management, other than the services provided in Compensia’s capacity as the Compensation Committee’s independent consultant on executive compensation, equity compensation, non-employee director compensation, and related matters. Compensia maintains a conflict of interest policy that is specifically designed to prevent any conflicts of interest. Our Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Compensia taking into account, among other things, the factors set forth in the applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards, and has concluded that the engagement of Compensia does not raise any conflicts of interest or similar concerns.

Role of Our Stockholders

At our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, we held a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs, which resulted in 86.1% of votes represented by stockholders present and entitled to vote approving our “say-on-pay” proposal. Following this vote, our Compensation Committee considered the outcome of the vote and determined not to make any material changes to the overall structure of our executive compensation program for 2024. We value the opinions of our stockholders, and our Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of future advisory votes, including the vote that will take place at the Annual Meeting, when it makes compensation decisions regarding our NEOs.

Competitive Positioning

In determining the total compensation for each of our NEOs, our Compensation Committee, with assistance from Compensia, reviews the compensation practices and levels of our compensation peer group to assess whether individual total compensation is sufficiently competitive to attract and retain our NEOs. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the compensation peer group and the underlying peer selection criteria to assess that it remains appropriate for review and comparison purposes. When reviewing and updating the peer group in March 2024, the Compensation Committee considered the inclusion of technology companies with annual revenues of between 0.5x to 2.0x of Roku’s prior four quarters’ revenue and a market capitalization of approximately 0.3x to 3.0x of Roku’s market capitalization. The Compensation Committee also considered companies with revenue growth of greater than 15% and market capitalization of greater than 2.0x revenue. After considering input from Compensia, the Compensation Committee approved a 2024 compensation peer group comprised of the companies listed below. Changes to our peer group for 2024 included the addition of Dropbox, Inc. and Match Group, Inc. and the removal of Splunk Inc. (which was acquired in 2024).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

When performing its NEO total compensation review during 2024, our Compensation Committee’s compensation assessment was informed by data drawn from the SEC filings of the peer group companies and compensation survey data from Radford/Aon’s Global Technology Survey that included utilizing special sub-groups of technology companies.

Although its analysis of competitive market data provides our Compensation Committee with guiding information and a broad market check, our Compensation Committee does not specifically benchmark compensation for our NEOs in terms of picking a particular percentile relative to other executives with similar titles at peer group companies. Instead, our Compensation Committee applies its subjective judgment in determining the total compensation for each NEO and considers the data above in conjunction with a number of factors, including our compensation philosophy, an NEO’s individual skills and expertise, and the scope and criticality of each NEO’s role. Our Compensation Committee also considers the beneficial stock ownership of each of the NEOs and the actual total compensation an NEO is expected to earn during the year, including the value of outstanding and unvested equity awards.

Determining Total Compensation

In June and July 2024, our Compensation Committee conducted its annual review of our compensation philosophy and the total compensation of our NEOs. Following this review, the Compensation Committee made certain changes to elements of our NEOs’ compensation, as described in detail below, in alignment with our compensation philosophy. In making these determinations, the Compensation Committee reviewed the competitive market analysis referenced above, with assistance from Compensia, and used this analysis as one reference point in addition to other factors, including those previously identified, as well as the annual vesting value of previously granted equity awards, and our goal of retaining highly experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable NEOs.

In 2024, for each NEO other than the CEO, the Compensation Committee maintained the same compensation mix of salary and equity awards at the same target percentages as set in 2023, with approximately 35% of total compensation paid in salary and approximately 65% of total compensation awarded in the form of equity awards. To further strengthen the alignment of the interests of our CEO and stockholders, the Compensation Committee changed the CEO’s compensation mix in 2024 by reducing the percentage of his total compensation paid in salary to 4% and determining that approximately 96% of his total compensation would be awarded in the form of equity awards. In determining the actual allocation of the elements of total compensation, the Compensation Committee considered the market competitive value of our compensation arrangements.

Salary

We use salary to compensate our NEOs for services rendered during the year and to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge, and responsibilities required of each NEO. Following its annual review described above (and in the case of Ms. Pentland, in connection with her employment with Roku commencing July 2024), our Compensation Committee determined the annual salary levels set forth below.

Mr. Wood – Mr. Wood’s annual salary was decreased to $1,000,000, effective August 2024, in alignment with the Compensation Committee’s determination that approximately 4% of our CEO’s total compensation should be paid in salary, and consistent with the belief that our CEO’s compensation should be more heavily weighted toward equity awards, to further strengthen the alignment of the interests of our CEO with the interests of our stockholders.

Mr. Jedda – Mr. Jedda’s annual salary was increased to $2,625,000, effective July 2024, to better align Mr. Jedda’s total compensation with competitive market levels, and consistent with the philosophy that approximately 35% of our non-CEO NEOs’ total compensation should be paid in salary.

Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mr. Collier – Mr. Collier’s annual salary was maintained at $6,825,000, the annual salary level set when he joined Roku in October 2022, consistent with the philosophy that approximately 35% of our non-CEO NEOs’ total compensation should be paid in salary.

Mr. Ozgen – Mr. Ozgen’s annual salary was maintained at $2,555,000, consistent with the philosophy that approximately 35% of our non-CEO NEOs’ total compensation should be paid in salary.

Ms. Pentland – Ms. Pentland’s annual salary was set at $2,625,000, consistent with the philosophy that approximately 35% of our non-CEO NEOs’ total compensation should be paid in salary.

Mr. Katz – Mr. Katz’s annual salary was maintained at $2,800,000, the annual salary level set when he joined Roku in January 2022, consistent with the philosophy that approximately 35% of our non-CEO NEOs’ total compensation should be paid in salary.

Executive Supplemental Stock Option Program

Our Executive Supplemental Stock Option Program (the Supplemental Option Program) allows certain executive officers to elect to reduce their annual base salary for a given year in exchange for a series of monthly grants of fully-vested stock options with a target value intended to equal the amount of the reduced salary. Each executive officer’s election to participate in the Supplemental Option Program must be made prior to the commencement of the applicable year. In connection with the annual review of our CEO’s compensation described above, the Compensation Committee determined that our CEO will no longer be eligible to participate in the Supplemental Option Program, effective as of January 1, 2025.

Prior to the end of 2023, Mr. Wood elected to reduce his calendar year 2024 base salary by $300,000, and Mr. Collier elected to reduce his calendar year 2024 base salary by $1,000,000, in each case in exchange for monthly grants of vested stock options under the Supplemental Option Program. The number of stock options granted each month was determined using the following formula: (i) the monthly dollar amount by which the NEO elected to reduce his salary (initially $25,000 for Mr. Wood and $83,333.33 for Mr. Collier) (the Monthly Stock Option Allocation Amount) divided by (ii) (a) the closing price of our Class A common stock on the grant date divided by (b) 1.8 (a factor intended to result in such quotient approximating a Black-Scholes value as in effect as of the date the elections were made (see “Equity Compensation” below for additional information regarding this factor)). Upon the reduction of Mr. Wood’s base salary to $1,000,000 (as described above), his Monthly Stock Option Allocation Amount for 2024 was automatically proportionally reduced to $20,833.33 effective as of August 2024, pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Option Program.

See also Notes 2 and 9 to “Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation Table” and Notes 3 and 7 to “Executive Compensation—Grants of Plan-Based Awards” below.

Equity Compensation

We view equity awards as a critical element of our total compensation. Although we do not specifically tie any portion of an NEO’s compensation to Roku’s performance, the realized value of equity awards bears a direct relationship to our stock price. We believe our equity awards are an incentive for our NEOs to create long-term value for our stockholders because the value of their equity awards increases when there is an increase in stockholder value. It is our Compensation Committee’s intention for each NEO to have equity awards that generally have at least two to three years of vesting in the future, such that they also serve as a means of retaining our NEOs.

When equity awards are granted in the form of stock options, the number of shares subject to a given stock option grant is determined by dividing the target value of the stock option grant by the average closing price of our Class A common stock over the 28 calendar days ending five trading days prior to the grant date, and multiplying that number by a factor intended to result in the quotient approximating a Black-Scholes value. Generally, on a

32	Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

quarterly basis, our Compensation Committee reviews the factor and approves an updated factor, or confirms continued use of the then-current factor, to be applied prospectively to our compensation programs, as appropriate. For the 2024 refresh equity awards, this factor was 1.8.

In determining the number of shares subject to equity awards, we generally use an average stock price, rather than a single day stock price, to provide a more stabilized stock value, which we believe is less susceptible to possible swings in the stock market. Our Compensation Committee has approved the use of the 28-calendar day average ending five trading days prior to the grant date for most equity awards as described above. We do not use an average stock price for the Supplemental Option Program or CEO Mandatory Monthly Option Program (described below), as we believe the monthly grant structure of those programs mitigates the volatility considerations posed by a single day stock price.

Equity Choice Program

Pursuant to our equity choice program (the Equity Choice Program), after the Compensation Committee determines the appropriate target dollar value of our NEOs’ equity awards, the NEOs are provided the opportunity to select whether their equity awards would be granted (i) 100% in the form of stock options, (ii) 100% in the form of RSUs, or (iii) 50% in the form of stock options and 50% in the form of RSUs.

Refresh and Market Adjustment Equity Awards

In June and July 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed the total compensation of each NEO (other than Ms. Pentland, who had not yet joined Roku) and determined to grant a refresh equity award to each of Mr. Wood, Mr. Collier, Mr. Ozgen, and Mr. Katz. Mr. Jedda did not receive a refresh award in light of the continued vesting terms of his new hire equity award granted in 2023, but was granted a market adjustment award intended to better align his total compensation with competitive market levels. Mr. Collier was granted a transitional refresh award in light of the continued vesting terms of his new hire equity award granted in 2022. Mr. Collier’s transitional refresh award is intended to serve as a bridge from his initial new hire equity award to our standard three-year refresh award vesting schedule and does not begin vesting until 2027. Ms. Pentland joined Roku in July 2024 and received a new hire equity award as described in “New Hire Equity Award” below.

For our CEO, the dollar value determination was made consistent with the philosophy that approximately 96% of our CEO’s total compensation should be received in the form of equity awards. For our non-CEO NEOs, the dollar value determinations were made consistent with the philosophy that approximately 65% of our non-CEO NEOs’ total compensation should be received in the form of equity awards.

Based on each NEO’s selection under the Equity Choice Program, the Compensation Committee granted equity awards in August 2024 as set forth below. Refresh equity awards vest over three years, and the transitional refresh and market adjustment awards vest over one year (in each case, subject to continuous service with us as of the applicable vesting date). The refresh and market adjustment equity awards (other than Mr. Collier’s award) began vesting in September 2024 (for stock options) and November 2024 (for RSUs) to help ensure that our NEOs’ total compensation is market competitive.

New Hire Equity Award

The Compensation Committee determined it would grant Ms. Pentland, who joined Roku in July 2024, a new hire equity award vesting over two years (subject to continuous service with us as of each vesting date) with the target value of such award set forth in the table below. Consistent with our philosophy, the Compensation Committee evaluated Ms. Pentland’s market opportunities and determined that the target value of her new hire equity award was competitively necessary to provide a total compensation amount that would induce her to join Roku. Based on Ms. Pentland’s selection under the Equity Choice Program, the Compensation Committee granted the equity award as set forth below.

Discontinuation of CEO Mandatory Monthly Option Program

In July 2024, the Compensation Committee determined not to continue the CEO Mandatory Monthly Option Program in light of the other changes to Mr. Wood’s compensation mix as described above. Pursuant to the CEO Mandatory Monthly Option Program, the Compensation Committee had previously approved the monthly grant of vested stock options to Mr. Wood beginning in September 2022 in order to reflect Mr. Wood’s increased total target compensation while still maintaining an important link to shareholder value. See Notes 3, 5, and 6 to “Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation Table” and Note 4 to “Executive Compensation—Grants of Plan-Based Awards” below for information regarding stock options granted pursuant to the CEO Mandatory Monthly Option Program.

No Special Retirement, Health, or Welfare Benefits

We have established a retirement plan intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), for all U.S.-based employees who satisfy certain eligibility requirements (the 401(k) Plan). Currently, we do not match any contributions made to the 401(k) Plan by our employees, including our NEOs.

All other health and welfare benefits offered to our currently employed NEOs, such as medical, dental, and vision benefits, medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts, short-term and long-term disability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, basic life insurance coverage, mental health support, and financial wellness support, are offered on the same basis as offered to our U.S.-based full-time employees.

Upon his relocation to the United Kingdom in August 2023, Mr. Katz ceased receiving the foregoing benefits offered to our U.S.-based employees and began receiving group medical insurance, life assurance, and income protection benefits that are offered on the same basis as offered to our UK-based full-time employees. Mr. Katz opted out of the group personal pension scheme offered to UK-based employees.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Non-Recurring Compensation; Limited Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Generally, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table, we provide limited perquisites or other personal benefits to our NEOs. In recognition of Ms. Pentland’s cost of transition to Roku, we granted Ms. Pentland a one-time sign-on payment of $300,000, which is subject to repayment on a prorated basis in the event Ms. Pentland resigns within one year of her start date, and we have committed a payment of $70,000 to assist Ms. Pentland with relocation to a residence near our offices in Austin, Texas in 2025.

Employment, Severance, and Change in Control Agreements

The initial terms and conditions of employment of each of Mr. Jedda, Mr. Collier, Mr. Ozgen, Ms. Pentland and Mr. Katz were set forth in written employment terms agreements or offer letters, which were approved by our Compensation Committee. We believe these agreements and offer letters were necessary to induce these individuals to forego other employment opportunities or leave their then-current employer for the uncertainty of a demanding position in a new and unfamiliar organization. Mr. Wood, who is our founder and serves as our CEO, has not entered into an employment agreement or offer letter with Roku. Each of our NEOs has executed our standard Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement.

Each of our currently employed NEOs is an “at will” employee and may be terminated at any time, with or without cause. Each of our currently employed NEOs is a party to our Amended and Restated Severance Benefit Plan, as amended (the Severance Benefit Plan), which provides for certain payments and benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment. For a summary of the material terms of the change in control and severance agreements and an estimate of the payments and benefits that our NEOs may receive under these agreements, see “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” below.

Under the terms of Mr. Katz’s employment agreement with Roku DX UK Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Roku), which was originally entered into in connection with Mr. Katz’s relocation from the United States to the United Kingdom in 2023, Mr. Katz became entitled to certain severance benefits in connection with his separation from Roku effective April 15, 2025. For a summary of the material terms of Mr. Katz’s severance benefits, see “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” below.

Other Compensation Policies and Practices

Equity Grant Practices

Our Compensation Committee grants annual refresh, market adjustment, and promotion equity awards under the 2017 Plan at approximately the same time every year during our annual compensation review cycle, generally in August. In addition, our Compensation Committee has delegated authority to an equity award committee comprised of our CEO and our CFO, either of whom has the authority to grant new hire equity awards and off-cycle promotion and market adjustment equity awards to our employees (other than to our Section 16 officers or other executives who report directly to the CEO) under the 2017 Plan, as set forth in an equity grant policy. Pursuant to the policy, awards approved by the equity award committee must be granted on the first trading day of each applicable month. Awards approved by the equity award committee also must be within pre-set guidelines that our Compensation Committee reviews and approves. New hire, market adjustment, and promotion equity awards for our Section 16 officers and other executives who report directly to the CEO are granted only by the Compensation Committee during an open trading window.

While most employees are granted RSUs, employees in eligible countries at the stock level of Vice President and above may be granted stock options at their election (see “Equity Choice Program” above for a description of this program as it applies to NEOs). In addition, the Supplemental Option Program (see “Executive Supplemental Option Program” above) allows certain executive officers to elect to reduce their annual base salary for a given year in exchange for a series of monthly grants of fully-vested stock options with an ascribed value intended to equal the amount of the reduced salary. Each monthly stock option grant under the Supplemental Option Program must be made on the first trading day of the month; provided that, if such date occurs within the “Filing Period”

Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(defined below), then the grant date will be the first trading day following expiration of the Filing Period in the applicable month. The “Filing Period” is the period starting four business days before and ending one business day after Roku (i) files a periodic report on a Form 10-K or a Form 10-Q or (ii) files or furnishes a current report on a Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information (including earnings information), other than a current report on Form 8-K disclosing a material new stock option grant award under Item 5.02(e).

We do not grant equity awards in anticipation of the disclosure of material nonpublic information nor do we time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of equity compensation. In addition, we do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining equity award grant dates, including stock option grant dates, or the terms of such awards. As described above, the Compensation Committee has historically granted awards on a predetermined schedule and awards granted by the equity award committee are subject to pre-established guidelines.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

We maintain mandatory stock ownership guidelines for our Board, CEO, CFO, Presidents, and Senior Vice Presidents reporting directly to our CEO (the Covered Individuals). The Compensation Committee believes that stock ownership guidelines help align the interests of our non-employee directors and executives with those of our stockholders and may act as a risk mitigation device. In March 2025, the Board amended the stock ownership guidelines to address inconsistencies in Covered Individuals’ holding requirements. All Covered Individuals were in compliance with the prior stock ownership guidelines at the time of the amendment.

As amended, the stock ownership guidelines require each covered individual to hold “Eligible Shares” (defined below) as follows:


	Position			Ownership Guideline
	CEO			100,000 Eligible Shares
	Presidents, CFO, and Senior Vice Presidents Reporting to CEO			30,000 Eligible Shares
	Non-Employee Directors			4,000 Eligible Shares

For purposes of this calculation, “Eligible Shares” include (1) shares of Roku’s common stock owned outright by the Covered Individual and (2) 50% of the intrinsic value of the vested and unexercised in-the-money stock options held by the Covered Individual.

Each Covered Individual has until the later of December 31, 2026 or the end of the calendar year that is four years from the date that the Covered Individual became subject to the guidelines to achieve the minimum ownership requirements. Covered Individuals must hold 50% of the net shares received from the exercise or vesting of any Roku equity award until the ownership requirement has been achieved. After the initial achievement period, each individual’s compliance will be determined on the last day of each calendar year. In the event that any Covered Individual fails to satisfy the minimum requirements, our Board will have the discretion to take a number of actions as it determines appropriate, including prohibiting the individual from selling any shares acquired through the vesting or the exercise of equity awards, other than shares needed to pay applicable taxes and exercise prices, until the minimum requirements of the guidelines are met.

Clawback Policy

We maintain a Policy for Recoupment of Incentive Compensation, which complies with the requirements of Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act, and the applicable Nasdaq listing standards (the Clawback Policy).

The Clawback Policy applies to each of our executive officers (each, a covered individual). Subject to certain exceptions, the Clawback Policy requires the Board to recover incentive-based compensation paid to a covered individual to the extent that Roku is required to restate its financial statements due to material noncompliance

36	Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with financial reporting requirements. Incentive-based compensation subject to such recoupment includes any compensation granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part on the satisfaction of a financial reporting measure, received by a covered individual during the three fiscal years preceding the date Roku is required to prepare a restatement of its financial statements. The recovery amount will equal the amount of incentive-based compensation the covered individual received in excess of the amount such individual would have received had the value of the incentive-based compensation been calculated based on the restated financial statements and must be computed without regard to any taxes paid.

In addition, the Clawback Policy provides that the Board will have the right to (i) recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from each employee with a stock level of senior vice president who is not otherwise an “executive officer” and (ii) recover any equity or equity-based compensation from such individuals, and any covered individuals, that is granted, earned, or vested based solely on the satisfaction of time-based vesting conditions (other than stock options granted under the Supplemental Option Program or the CEO Mandatory Monthly Option Program).

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

Under our Insider Trading Policy, all members of our Board, executive officers, employees, and certain contingent workers, and any entities or immediate family members or others whose trading activities are controlled by any such persons, are prohibited from engaging in hedging transactions to protect against a decline in value of our common stock. Such transactions include, but are not limited to, short sales, transactions in put or call options, margin accounts, and other inherently speculative transactions. Additionally, we prohibit members of our Board, executive officers, employees, and certain contingent workers, and any entities or immediate family members or others whose trading activities are controlled by any such persons, from pledging shares of our common stock as collateral for personal loans, purchasing our common stock on margin, or holding our common stock in margin account.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Under Section 162(m) of the Code (Section 162(m)), compensation paid to any “covered employee” of a publicly held corporation that exceeds $1 million per taxable year is generally non-deductible, unless the compensation qualifies for the reliance period exception for certain compensation paid by corporations that became publicly held on or before December 20, 2019.

Although the Compensation Committee considers tax implications as one factor in determining executive compensation, our Compensation Committee also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to provide compensation for our NEOs in a manner consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program and the best interests of Roku and its stockholders, which may include providing for compensation that is not deductible by Roku due to the deduction limit under Section 162(m). Our Compensation Committee also retains the flexibility to modify compensation that was initially intended to be exempt from the deduction limit under Section 162(m) if it determines that such modifications are consistent with Roku’s business needs.

No Tax Reimbursements or Gross-ups

We do not provide any executive officer, including any NEO, with a “gross-up” or other reimbursement payment for any tax liability that the officer might owe as a result of the application of Sections 280G, 4999, or 409A of the Code, and we have not agreed and are not otherwise obligated to provide any NEOs with any such “gross-up” or other reimbursement.

Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

We account for equity compensation paid to our employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, which requires us to measure the grant date fair value of our equity-based awards and recognize the grant date fair value as an expense over the requisite service period of the award. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the tables below under the heading “Executive Compensation,” even though the recipient of the awards may never realize any value from the awards.

Compensation Risk Assessment

Our management team and the Compensation Committee each play a role in evaluating, monitoring, and mitigating any risk that may exist relating to our compensation programs, policies, and practices for all employees, including our NEOs. Compensia, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, performed an assessment of our executive compensation programs, policies, and practices. Management conducted a parallel assessment of our non-executive employee compensation programs, policies, and practices. Both assessments concluded that our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Roku. The Compensation Committee has reviewed these reports and agreed with the conclusions.

The risk assessment process considered various features of our compensation programs, policies, and practices that discourage excessive or unnecessary risk taking, including but not limited to the following:

•	Pay program oversight by an independent Compensation Committee;

•	Formal annual review of executive compensation peer group, market positioning, and cash/equity mix;

•	Executive compensation pay mix that ties compensation to long-term company performance;

•	Comprehensive formal insider trading policies prohibiting pledging or margining of our stock and engaging in hedging activities;

•	Formal policies for equity administration;

•	Formal clawback policy;

•	Formal stock ownership guidelines;

•	Sales compensation practices that are consistent with market norms and do not overemphasize commissions;

•	Reasonable severance/change in control agreements;

•	Use of an independent compensation consultant; and

•	Inclusion of an annual limit on non-employee director compensation in the equity plan and regular reviews of director compensation levels against peers.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this proxy statement. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and incorporated into Roku’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Amounts shown in these columns do not reflect dollar amounts actually realized by our NEOs. Instead, these amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of each RSU or stock option, as applicable, computed in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025.

Note: Each vesting schedule described below is subject to the NEO’s continuous service with us as of each vesting date. All equity awards were granted under our 2017 Plan. The market values of the RSU awards that have not vested were calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying the award by $73.34, the closing price of our Class A common stock on December 31, 2024 (the last trading day of our fiscal year), as required by SEC rules.

The value realized on exercise represents the difference between the exercise price per share of the stock option and the market price of our Class A common stock at the time of exercise multiplied by the number of shares exercised. The value realized was determined without considering any taxes that may have been owed.

(2)	The value realized upon vesting of RSUs was calculated by multiplying the number of shares vested by the closing price of our Class A common stock on the vesting date. The value realized was determined without considering any taxes that may have been owed.

Pension Benefits

Aside from our 401(k) Plan, we do not maintain any pension plan or arrangement under which our U.S.-based NEOs are entitled to participate or receive post-retirement benefits. Upon his relocation to the United Kingdom in August 2023, Mr. Katz chose to opt out of the group personal pension scheme offered to UK-based employees.

Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control

Each currently employed NEO participates in our Severance Benefit Plan. Mr. Collier’s offer letter (filed as Exhibit 10.12 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 16, 2023) provides for certain modifications to his participation in the Severance Benefit Plan, including modified definitions of “cause” and “good reason.” Ms. Pentland’s offer letter (filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 2, 2024) also provides for certain modifications to her participation in the Severance Benefit Plan, including a modified definition of “good reason.” The severance benefits described in Mr. Katz’s employment agreement align closely with the terms in our Severance Benefit Plan applicable to our other non-CEO NEOs, as described below.

46	Roku, Inc. 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under our Severance Benefit Plan:

•

In the event of an NEO’s termination without “cause” or such executive’s resignation for “good reason,” our CEO will be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to 12 months of the CEO’s monthly total compensation target (TCT) (in each case, as defined in the Severance Benefit Plan or modified by an applicable offer letter) and all other applicable NEOs will be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to nine months of the NEO’s monthly TCT.

•

In the event of an NEO’s termination of employment without “cause” or such executive’s resignation for “good reason,” in each case occurring on or within the 12 months following a “change in control” (each, as defined in the Severance Benefit Plan or modified by an applicable offer letter), then in lieu of the foregoing, our CEO will be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to 12 months of the CEO’s monthly base salary and all other applicable NEOs will be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to nine months of the NEO’s monthly base salary. In addition, 100% of each applicable NEO’s unvested equity awards will vest immediately effective as of the date of such NEO’s qualifying termination.

•	All such severance benefits are subject to the participant signing a general waiver and release of all known and unknown claims in favor of Roku in substantially the form provided in the Severance Benefit Plan.

The following table summarizes the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to our NEOs, except for Mr. Katz (whose employment with us ended on April 15, 2025), upon an involuntary termination not in connection with a change in control or in connection with a change in control, as applicable, assuming the triggering event took place on December 31, 2024. Mr. Katz’s actual severance payment is described below.

All NEOs are subject to a better-after-tax provision whereby in the event of qualifying termination following a change in control we would either pay such person (i) the full amount of their severance benefits or, alternatively, (ii) an amount of certain severance benefits otherwise payable to them such that the severance benefits will not be subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, whichever produces the better after-tax result for such NEO.

(2)

Under the Severance Benefit Plan, cash severance payments for a Non-Change in Control Termination consist of a lump-sum payment equal to the product of the applicable NEO’s then-current monthly TCT and the participant’s severance multiplier (12 months for Mr. Wood and nine months for the other applicable NEOs). This severance payment will be paid as soon as reasonably practicable following the release effective date (as defined in the Severance Benefit Plan) but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such termination was effective.

(3)

Under the Severance Benefit Plan, cash severance payments for a Change in Control Termination consist of a lump-sum payment equal to the product of the applicable NEO’s then-current monthly base salary and the participant’s severance multiplier (12 months for Mr. Wood and nine months for the other applicable NEOs). This severance payment will be paid as soon as reasonably practicable following the release effective date (as defined in the Severance Benefit Plan) but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such termination was effective.

(4)

In the event of a Change in Control Termination, any unvested portion of an equity award granted to an NEO under our equity incentive plans will vest in full effective as of the date of such NEO’s termination. As required by SEC rules, the estimated benefit amount of unvested stock options was calculated by multiplying the number of unvested stock options subject to acceleration held by the applicable NEO as of December 31, 2024 by the difference between the exercise price of the stock option and the closing price of our Class A common stock on December 31, 2024 ($74.34), and the estimated benefit amount of unvested RSUs was calculated by multiplying the number of unvested RSUs held by the applicable NEO as of December 31, 2024 by the closing price of our Class A common stock on December 31, 2024 ($74.34).

Mr. Katz’s Separation Arrangement

Mr. Katz’s employment with us ended on April 15, 2025. Under Mr. Katz’s employment agreement, the cash severance payment to Mr. Katz for a Non-Change in Control Termination consisted of a lump-sum payment in the amount of $5,250,000 (equal to his monthly TCT multiplied by nine). Mr. Katz’s severance payment will be paid on the next available payroll date following the date of receipt by Roku of a duly signed settlement and release agreement.

Pay Versus Performance

Below we provide disclosure regarding executive compensation for our CEO and non-CEO NEOs and our performance for the fiscal years listed below in accordance with the applicable SEC rules. For the most recently completed fiscal year and the fiscal years represented in the table, we did not use any “financial performance measures” as defined in the applicable SEC rules to link compensation paid to our NEOs to our performance. Accordingly, we have omitted the “company selected measure” and the tabular list of financial performance measures described in the applicable SEC rules.

The amounts set forth below under the headings “Compensation Actually Paid to CEO” and “Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-CEO NEOs” have been calculated in a manner consistent with the applicable SEC rules. Use of the term “compensation actually paid” (CAP) is required by the SEC’s rules, and, as a result of the calculation methodology required by the SEC, such amounts differ from compensation actually received by the individuals for the fiscal years listed below.

•	The annual total compensation of our median employee (excluding our CEO) was $255,499;

•	The annual total compensation of our CEO was $27,697,846 (as reported in the Summary Compensation Table); and

•	The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO (as reported in the Summary Compensation Table) to the median employee’s annual total compensation was approximately 108:1.

The pay ratio disclosure rules permit companies to identify the median compensated employee once every three years unless there has been a material change in employee population or employee compensation arrangements that would significantly impact the pay ratio disclosure. For 2024, we used the same median employee who was identified in 2023 as we do not believe we have experienced any material changes in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that would significantly impact the pay ratio disclosure.

The pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our internal records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s total annual compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Therefore, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Under the ESPP, unless the Board or Compensation Committee acts to provide otherwise, the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance automatically increases on January 1st of each year by the lesser of (i) 1% of the total number of shares of our capital stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding year and (ii) 3,000,000 shares.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

We have adopted a Related Person Transaction Policy providing that our executive officers, directors, holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, and any member of the immediate family of and any entity affiliated with any of the foregoing persons, will not be permitted to enter into a related person transaction with us without the prior consent of our Audit Committee (or other independent members of our Board if it is inappropriate for our Audit Committee to review such transaction due to a conflict of interest). Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, principal stockholder, or any of their immediate family members or affiliates, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and the related person has a direct or indirect interest, must first be presented to our Audit Committee for review, consideration, and approval. If a related person transaction was not a related person transaction when it was originally consummated, or was not identified as such prior to consummation, it will be submitted to the Audit Committee for review and ratification as soon as reasonably practicable. In approving or rejecting any such transaction, our Audit Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to our Audit Committee, including, but not limited to: the risks, costs, and benefits to Roku; the impact on our directors’ independence; the terms of the transaction; the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and the terms available to or from unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally.

Below is a summary of transactions, since the beginning of our last fiscal year, to which we have been a participant, in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Employment Arrangements and Equity Grants

We have entered into written employment terms agreements or offer letters with each of our NEOs other than Mr. Wood and have adopted a Severance Benefit Plan. For more information regarding these arrangements, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Employment, Severance, and Change in Control Agreements” and “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control.” We have granted equity awards to our NEOs and our directors. For a description of these equity awards, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” “Executive Compensation” and “Director Compensation.”

Indemnification Agreements

Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions limiting the liability of directors, and our bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide our Board with discretion to indemnify our employees and other agents when determined appropriate by our Board. In addition, we have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive officers, which requires us to indemnify them.

Other Matters

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of Roku’s equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of Roku. Officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the year ended December 31, 2024, our officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except for the following: due to inadvertent administrative error, one Form 4 filed on behalf of Anthony Wood and one Form 4 filed on behalf of Charlie Collier reporting, in each case, the grant of a monthly executive supplemental stock option, were filed one day late.
