Director Independence
Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that each of our directors, other than Mr. Mahdessian and Mr. Kuzoyan, is “independent” as that term is defined under Nasdaq listing rules. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”
In addition, each member of our audit committee and our compensation committee meets the enhanced independence standards required for such committee members under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and Nasdaq listing rules.
There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
Board of Directors Leadership Structure and Role of Our Lead Independent Director
Our amended and restated bylaws and corporate governance guidelines provides our board of directors with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of chief executive officer and chairperson of our board of directors and to implement a lead independent director in accordance with its determination regarding which structure would be in the best interests of our company. Mr. Mahdessian, our chief executive officer, has served as chairperson of our board of directors and Mr. Cabral has served as our lead independent director since November 2024. As lead independent director, Mr. Cabral presides over all meetings of the board of directors at which the chairperson is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors, approves board of directors meeting schedules and agendas and acts as the liaison between the independent directors and our chief executive officer and chairperson of our board of directors. Our board of directors has concluded that our current leadership structure
9
is appropriate at this time. However, our board of directors will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate.
Board of Directors Meetings, Attendance and Committees
During our fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, our board of directors held six meetings, and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our board of directors held during the period for which such director has served as a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our board of directors on which such director has served during the periods that such director has served as a committee member, apart from William Hsu.
Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our board of directors at our annual meetings of stockholders, we encourage, but do not require, members of our board of directors to attend.
Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our board of directors are described below. Members serve on these committees until the election and qualification of their successor, their earlier death, resignation or removal, or until as otherwise determined by our board of directors.
Audit Committee
Our audit committee consists of Michael Brown, Tim Cabral and Ilya Golubovich, with Mr. Cabral serving as Chair. Our board of directors has determined that each of our audit committee members meets the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on the audit committee under Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Nasdaq listing rules. Each member of our audit committee also meets the financial literacy and sophistication requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules. In addition, our board of directors has determined that Mr. Cabral is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Our compensation committee is primarily responsible for overseeing our overall compensation structure, policies, and programs, and reviewing our processes and procedures for the consideration and determination of director and executive officer compensation. In fulfilling its responsibilities, our compensation committee has the authority to delegate any or all of its responsibilities to a subcommittee of the compensation committee. In addition, the primary objective of our compensation committee is to develop and implement compensation policies and plans that ensure the attraction and retention of key management personnel, the motivation of management to achieve our corporate goals and strategies, and the alignment of the interests of management with the long-term interests of our stockholders. Our compensation committee considers recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer and our President regarding the compensation of our executive officers other than themselves.
Our compensation committee may obtain the advice of compensation consultants, independent legal counsel, and other advisers. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, our compensation committee retained Compensia,
11
Inc. ("Compensia"), a compensation consulting firm with compensation expertise relating to technology companies, to provide it with market information, analysis, and other advice relating to executive compensation on an ongoing basis. Compensia was engaged directly by our compensation committee to, among other things, assist in developing an appropriate group of peer companies to help us determine the appropriate level of overall compensation for our executive officers and non-employee directors, as well as to assess each separate element of executive officer and non-employee director compensation, with a goal of ensuring that the compensation we offer to our executive officers and non-employee directors is competitive, fair, and appropriately structured.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the current members of our compensation committee, or any member that served during the past fiscal year, is or has been an officer or employee of our company. None of the current members of our compensation committee, nor any member who served on the committee during the past fiscal year, had any relationship requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K, apart from William Griffith.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is, among other matters, responsible for the following:
Our nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq listing rules.

12
Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees
Our nominating and corporate governance committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees, which may include reviewing candidates whom our stockholders have properly submitted for recommendation or retaining a third-party executive search firm to identify and review candidates.
Our nominating and corporate governance committee, in recommending director candidates for election to our board of directors, and our board of directors, in nominating director candidates, will consider candidates who have a high level of personal and professional integrity, strong ethics and values, and the ability to make mature business judgments.
In evaluating director candidates, our nominating and corporate governance committee and our board of directors may also consider the following criteria as well as any other factor that they deem to be relevant:
In addition, our board of directors will consider whether there are potential conflicts of interest with the candidate’s other personal and professional pursuits.
After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our nominating and corporate governance committee recommends to our full board of directors the director nominees for selection.
Stockholder Recommendations and Nominations to our Board of Directors
Our nominating and corporate governance committee has not adopted a specific policy regarding the consideration of director nominees recommended to our nominating and corporate governance committee by stockholders. Our board of directors believes that the procedures set forth in our nominating and corporate governance committee charter and our amended and restated bylaws are currently sufficient and that the establishment of a formal policy is not necessary. There would be no difference in the evaluation process of a director candidate recommended by a stockholder as compared to the evaluation process of a candidate identified by any other means.
Our nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate such recommendations in accordance with its charter, our amended and restated bylaws and our policies and procedures for director candidates, as well as the director nominee criteria described above that is applicable to all director candidates. This process is designed to ensure that our board of directors includes members with skills and experiences, including appropriate financial and other expertise, relevant to our business. Stockholders may recommend a candidate for nomination by submitting the recommendation in writing to the attention of our Secretary at ServiceTitan, Inc., 800 N. Brand Blvd., Suite 100, Glendale, California 91203. Such recommendation must include detailed biographical data for and relevant qualifications of the candidate, a statement of support by the recommending stockholder, evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of our capital stock, a signed letter from the candidate confirming willingness to serve on our board of directors, if nominated and elected, and information regarding any relationships
13

Insider Trading, Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies
Our board of directors has
Risk Oversight
Our board of directors recognizes the oversight of risk management as one of its primary responsibilities and central to maintaining an effective, risk-aware and accountable organization. The oversight responsibility of our board of directors and its committees is supported by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to our board of directors regarding the identification, assessment and management of risks and management’s strategic approach to risk mitigation. The Chair of our audit committee meets with our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal Officer on a regular basis to identify and discuss risks and exposures, and escalate potential issues to our audit committee or board of directors, as appropriate.
While our board of directors maintains ultimate responsibility for the oversight of risk, it has implemented a multi-layered approach that delegates certain responsibilities to the appropriate board committees to ensure that these primary areas of focus are discussed in appropriate detail and that a full understanding of the applicable risk is obtained. Our board of directors and its committees oversee risks associated with their respective areas of responsibility. Each board committee meets in executive session with key management personnel and representatives of outside advisors as required or requested. Our board of directors may delegate additional risk areas to its committees in the future.
Board’s Role in Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Oversight
While our board of directors maintains ultimate responsibility for the oversight of our data privacy and cybersecurity program and risks, it has delegated certain responsibilities to our audit committee. Our board of directors and audit committee’s principal role is one of oversight, recognizing that management is responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of an effective program for protecting against and mitigating data privacy and cybersecurity risks. The audit committee assists our board of directors in enhancing its understanding of cybersecurity issues by overseeing our information security programs, strategy, policies, standards, architecture, processes, and significant risks, as well as overseeing responses to security and data incidents, as appropriate.
Our audit committee receives updates periodically from our CISO and CTO on significant data privacy and security risks, and may include any significant incidents, relevant industry developments, threat vectors and significant risks identified in periodic penetration tests or vulnerability scans. These updates may also include significant legal and legislative developments concerning data privacy and security, our approach to complying with applicable law, and significant engagement with regulators concerning data privacy and cybersecurity. Our audit committee provides updates to the board of directors on such reports. For additional information regarding our cybersecurity governance, please refer to our 2025 Annual Report.

Non-Employee Director Compensation
Prior to the completion of our initial public offering, we did not maintain a formalized non-employee director compensation program, though we typically provided non-employee directors who are not affiliated with one of our significant investors an equity award in connection with the director’s commencement of service on our board of directors and an additional equity award after the initial equity award fully vests. Consistent with this approach, in April 2024, we granted Mr. Cabral 2,957 RSUs, which will vest in full on the first anniversary of the date of grant of the RSUs, subject to Mr. Cabral’s continued service to us through (i) such anniversary date and (ii) the period ending two weeks following the expiration of the lock-up period associated with our initial public offering.
In connection with our initial public offering, we adopted a non-employee director compensation program (the "Director Compensation Program"), pursuant to which our non-employee directors are eligible to receive cash compensation and equity awards for service on our board of directors.
Under the Director Compensation Program, our non-employee directors are eligible to receive cash compensation as follows:
All annual cash retainers are paid quarterly in arrears promptly following the end of the applicable quarter, and prorated for partial quarters of service.
Commencing with the completion of our initial public offering, if a non-employee director is initially appointed or elected to our board of directors, that director will automatically be granted an award of RSUs having a value of $400,000, with the number of shares of our Class A common stock underlying the award determined using our standard method of conversion as of the grant date. The initial award will vest in substantially equal quarterly installments over four years from the earliest of March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15 following the grant date, subject to continued service with us through the applicable vesting date.
Each non-employee director who has been serving on our board of directors for at least four months prior to, and continues to serve immediately after, each annual meeting of stockholders will automatically be granted on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders an award of that number of RSUs by dividing $200,000 divided by the value of a share of our Class A common stock derived using our standard method of conversion as of the grant date. Each annual award will fully vest on the earliest of March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15 following the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service with us through the applicable vesting date.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Table
The following table contains information concerning the compensation of our non-employee directors for service during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. Messrs. Mahdessian and Kuzoyan did not receive additional compensation for their service as directors, and both Ms. Achadjian and Mr. Griffith have waived cash compensation under the Director Compensation Program.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
We currently have nine directors on our board of directors. In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is divided into three staggered classes of directors. Three of our Class I directors, Messrs. Cabral, Hsu and Mahdessian, are standing for election at the Annual Meeting for a three-year term.
Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of their successor, or such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. We expect that any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of our directors.
The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control. Members of our board of directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of our voting stock entitled to vote at an election of directors.
Nominees
Our nominating and corporate governance committee has recommended, and our board of directors has approved, Messrs. Cabral, Hsu and Mahdessian as nominees for election as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting. If elected, each of Messrs. Cabral, Hsu, and Mahdessian will serve as a Class I director until our 2028 annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Each of the nominees is currently a director of our company. For additional information regarding our nominees for our board of directors, refer to the section titled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance.”
If you are a stockholder of record and you sign your proxy card or vote by telephone or over the Internet, but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted “FOR” the election of Messrs. Cabral, Hsu, and Mahdessian. Messrs. Cabral, Hsu, and Mahdessian have each agreed to serve as a director if elected; however, in the event that a director nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by our board of directors to fill such vacancy. If you are a street name stockholder and you do not give voting instructions to your broker or nominee, your broker will leave your shares unvoted on this matter.
Vote Required
The election of directors requires a plurality of votes cast of the shares of our common stock present virtually or by proxy at the Annual Meeting to be approved. This means that the three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I directors. Broker non-votes and "WITHHOLD" votes are not considered as votes cast on this proposal and, accordingly, will have no effect on this proposal.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Our audit committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. Our board of directors has directed that this appointment be submitted to our stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Although ratification of our appointment of PwC is not required, we value the opinions of our stockholders and believe that stockholder ratification of our appointment is a good corporate governance practice.
PwC also served as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, and has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2017. Neither the accounting firm nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in, or any connection with, us in any capacity other than as our auditors, providing audit and non-audit related services. Representatives of PwC will be present at the Annual Meeting, and they will have an opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from our stockholders.
If our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of PwC, our audit committee will consider this fact when it determines whether to retain PwC. Even if our stockholders ratify the appointment of PwC, our audit committee, in its discretion, may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during our fiscal year if our audit committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.
Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The following table presents fees for professional audit services and other services rendered to our company by PwC for our fiscal years ended January 31, 2024, and January 31, 2025, respectively.

Auditor Independence
In our fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, there were no other professional services provided by PwC, other than those listed above, that would have required our audit committee to consider their compatibility with maintaining the independence of PwC.
Audit Committee Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Our audit committee has established a policy governing our use of the services of our independent registered public accounting firm. Under this policy, our audit committee is required to pre-approve all audit services, audit-related services and permissible non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair the public accountants’ independence. All services provided by PwC for our fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, were pre-approved by our audit committee pursuant to this policy.
Vote Required
The ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast of the shares of our common stock present virtually or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, excluding abstentions and broker non-votes. Abstentions are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on this proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal, we do not expect broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The material in this report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” with the SEC for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall the material in this section be deemed to be “soliciting material” or incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other document filed with the SEC under the Securities Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
The audit committee is a committee of our board of directors comprised solely of independent directors as required by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) rules and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The composition of the audit committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the audit committee, as reflected in its charter, are intended to be in accordance with applicable requirements for corporate audit committees. With respect to our financial reporting process, our management is responsible for (1) establishing and maintaining internal controls and (2) preparing our consolidated financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements. It is the responsibility of the audit committee to oversee these activities. It is not the responsibility of the audit committee to prepare our financial statements. These are the fundamental responsibilities of management. In the performance of its oversight function, the audit committee has:
Based on the above-mentioned reviews and discussions with management and PwC, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC.
Respectfully submitted by the members of the audit committee of the board of directors:

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table
Fiscal 2025 Salaries
Our NEOs each receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to our company. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. For fiscal 2025, our Co-Founders’ annual base salaries were initially $458,000, and subsequently increased in October 2024 to $460,000. Mr. Sherry’s annual base salary was $433,334.
Our board of directors and compensation committee may adjust base salaries from time to time at their discretion.
23
Fiscal 2025 Annual Performance-Based Cash Bonus Program
We maintain an annual performance-based cash bonus program in which each of our NEOs participated during fiscal 2025. Each NEO’s target bonus payout is determined by the achievement of our company meeting certain corporate goals at target level. Under the performance-based cash bonus program, each NEO’s target bonus amount is expressed as a percentage of base salary.
For fiscal 2025 the target bonus amount for each of Mr. Mahdessian, Kuzoyan, and Sherry was 80%, 80%, and 65%, of the NEO's annual base salary, respectively. Under our annual performance-based cash bonus program, bonus amounts earned were based on achievement of certain performance goals set by our board of directors relating to certain financial metrics, each with threshold, target, and stretch performance levels and may be adjusted based on our board of directors’ or compensation committee’s assessment of individual performance. In March 2025, our board of directors and our compensation committee determined that the corporate goals were achieved at 120% for fiscal 2025. The bonus amounts awarded to our NEOs under our annual performance-based cash bonus program are set forth above in the Summary Compensation Table in the column titled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”
Our compensation committee and board of directors may adjust the target bonus opportunities of, or award discretionary bonuses to, our NEOs from time to time in their discretion.
Fiscal 2025 Equity-Based Awards
We have granted stock options and RSUs to our employees, including our NEOs, to attract and retain them, as well as to align their interests with the interests of our stockholders. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of our Class A or Class B common stock after vesting.
In April 2024, we granted Mr. Sherry an award of 127,187 RSUs in connection with our annual review process. The RSUs have a seven-year term and vest based on the satisfaction of a service-based vesting condition and a liquidity event vesting condition. The service-based vesting condition is satisfied as to 1/16 of the total number of RSUs on each quarterly anniversary of June 15, 2024, subject to continued service with us. The liquidity event vesting condition will be satisfied upon the earlier of (i) two weeks following the last expiration date of lock-up period following our initial public offering or (ii) a sale of our company (as defined in our 2015 Stock Plan (our "2015 Plan")); provided that the liquidity event vesting condition will be deemed to have been met for any RSUs for which the service-based vesting condition had been met, if the named executive officer experienced a termination effected by us other than for cause, death or disability or by the named executive officer for good reason, in each case, within the period commencing three months prior to, and including the effective date of, a sale of our company.
On October 21, 2024, our board of directors approved the one-time grant of 3,241,544 performance-based RSUs (the “Co-Founder PSUs”), to each of Messrs. Mahdessian and Kuzoyan, a portion of which is intended to replace a performance-based stock option held by each executive that was forfeited in connection with the grant of the Co-Founder PSUs. Each Co-Founder PSU represents the right to receive one share of our Class B common stock following vesting. The Co-Founder PSUs vest on or after 180 days following the completion of our initial public offering in four separate tranches in the event the stock price hurdles in the table below are achieved, generally, subject to the executive being employed as Chief Executive Officer, co-Chief Executive Officer or President as of the vesting date.

For the purposes of determining whether a stock price hurdle has been achieved, for Tranche 1, the trailing six-month, and for Tranches 2 through 4, the trailing six months and 90-day volume-weighted average closing trading price for a share of our Class A common stock must equal or exceed the applicable stock price hurdle, provided that in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Service Titan, Inc. Change in Control and Severance Policy, or the Policy) the greatest per share amount to be paid in connection with the Change in Control will be used to determine final stock price hurdle achievement (utilizing linear interpolation if such amount falls between two stock price hurdles). In the event Mr. Mahdessian or Mr. Kuzoyan no longer serves as any of our Chief Executive Officer, co-Chief Executive Officer or President as a result of his death, Disability (as defined in the Policy), a termination of employment effected by us for other than Cause (as defined in the Policy), a resignation by the executive for Good Reason (as defined in the Policy) or, if mutually agreed between the executive and our board of directors, as part of a transition to a different role with us, then the Co-Founder PSUs held by the executive will remain eligible to vest upon achievement of the stock price hurdles during the succeeding six-month period. Any Co-Founder PSUs that remain unvested as of October 21, 2034 will automatically forfeit.
In connection with the grant of the Co-Founder PSUs, we canceled an option to purchase 170,338 shares of our Class B common stock held by each of Mr. Mahdessian and Mr. Kuzoyan that was scheduled to vest upon, among other requirements, the six-month average closing trading price of our Class A common stock equaling or exceeding $234.83.
In connection with the reclassification of all outstanding shares of our common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock that occurred in connection with our initial public offering (the “Reclassification”), we approved the designation of the shares of our common stock underlying all equity awards held by our Co-Founders under our 2015 Plan, including the Co-Founder PSUs, as Class B common stock, effective immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering (the “Equity Award Designations”) pursuant to which the shares of our common stock underlying stock options and RSUs held by Messrs. Mahdessian and Kuzoyan, including the Co-Founder PSUs, were designated as Class B common stock.
In December 2024, we adopted the 2024 Incentive Award Plan (our “2024 Plan”) to facilitate the grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees (including our NEOs) and consultants of our company and certain of our affiliates and to enable us to obtain and retain services of these individuals, which is essential to our long-term success.
Retirement Savings and Health and Welfare Benefits
We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for all U.S. employees, including our NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Under our 401(k) plan, eligible employees may elect to defer up to all eligible compensation, subject to applicable annual Code limits. We may match contributions made by our employees, including our NEOs, on a discretionary basis. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees.
All of our full-time employees, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including health, dental and vision benefits; medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts; short-term and long-term disability insurance; and life and AD&D insurance.
25
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
All of our employees are eligible for a technology allowance of $100 per month to help offset the cost of personal technology devices and home internet service. Otherwise, we determine perquisites on a case-by-case basis and will provide a perquisite to a named executive officer when we believe it is necessary to attract or retain the named executive officer. During fiscal 2025 outside of company-provided security for Mr. Mahdessian and assistance with tax preparation for Mr. Sherry, we did not provide any perquisites or personal benefits to our NEOs not otherwise made available to our other employees. As described above under the section titled “Summary Compensation Table,” in connection with Mr. Sherry’s commencement of employment with us in fiscal 2024, we agreed to reimburse Mr. Sherry up to $20,000 for advisory services in connection with the preparation of his 2023 tax return, subject to his continued employment with us, which such reimbursement was provided in November 2024.

Executive Compensation Arrangements
We have entered into proprietary information and invention assignment agreements with each of our NEOs. In addition, we have entered into an amended and restated offer letter with Mr. Sherry (the "Sherry Offer Letter"), that provides for Mr. Sherry’s continued service as our Chief Financial Officer with an annualized base salary of $433,334 and a target annual bonus opportunity of 65% of base salary for fiscal 2025. The Sherry Offer Letter provides for Mr. Sherry’s eligibility to receive equity awards under our 2024 Plan, as determined in the sole discretion of our board of directors or our compensation committee, and participate in the Change in Control Policy (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of his participation agreement under the Policy. As described within the section titled “—Narrative to Summary Compensation Table—Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits,” the Sherry Offer Letter also provided for Mr. Sherry to be reimbursed up to $20,000 for advisory services in connection with his 2023 taxes, subject to continued employment.
Change in Control and Severance
Change in Control and Severance Policy
Our board of directors has adopted the ServiceTitan, Inc. Change in Control and Severance Policy (the “Change in Control Policy”), and we have entered into participation agreements under the Change in Control Policy with each of our NEOs. Under the Change in Control Policy, in the event an NEO’s employment with us is terminated by us without Cause (as defined in the Change in Control Policy) or due to the NEO’s death or Disability (as defined in the Change in Control Policy) or by the NEO for Good Reason (as defined in the Change in Control Policy), then, subject to the timely delivery of a general release of claims, the NEO will be entitled to receive continued base salary payable in accordance with our regular payroll procedures for a period of 12 months, in the case of Messrs. Mahdessian and Kuzoyan, or six months, in the case of Mr. Sherry, a prorated target bonus for the year of termination payable in a cash lump sum, and up to 12 months of company-funded healthcare continuation coverage. In the event such termination occurs within the period commencing three months prior to a Change in Control (as defined in the Change in Control Policy) and ending on the first anniversary of the Change in Control, then, in lieu of the foregoing severance amounts, the NEO is entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to 12 months of base salary, 100% of the NEO’s target bonus opportunity for the year of termination payable in a cash lump sum, up to 12 months of company-funded healthcare continuation coverage and full vesting acceleration of all equity awards (based on the greater of target or actual performance for performance-based awards unless otherwise provided for in the applicable award agreement).
The Co-Founder PSUs are governed by the terms of the applicable award agreements, as summarized below under "—Co-Founder PSUs” and within the section titled “—Narrative to Summary Compensation Table—Equity-Based Awards,” and are not subject to acceleration pursuant to the Change in Control Policy.
Co-Founder PSUs
As summarized within the section titled “—Narrative to Summary Compensation Table—Equity-Based Awards,” in the event of a Change in Control, the Co-Founder PSUs will vest based on the highest per share amount paid to a stockholder with performance between stock price hurdles determined using linear interpolation, and any Co-Founder PSUs that remain unvested following such determination will be forfeited. In the event Mr. Mahdessian or Mr. Kuzoyan no longer serves as any of our Chief Executive Officer, co-Chief Executive Officer or President due to his death, Disability, a termination of employment effected by us without Cause, a resignation for Good Reason or, if mutually agreed between the executive and our board of directors, they transition to a different role with us, then the executive will remain eligible to vest into the Co-Founder PSUs based on stock price hurdle achievement during the six-month period following such termination or transition.
29
Other Compensation Information
Compensation “Clawback” Policy
Our compensation committee recommended, and our board of directors adopted, a financial restatement clawback policy in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq listing rules, which became effective as of December 2024 (the “Financial Restatement Clawback Policy”). Consistent with these requirements, the Financial Restatement Clawback Policy provides that, subject to the limited exemptions permitted under these requirements, if we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under applicable securities laws, we must recover from covered executive officers any incentive-based compensation received by them while they were an executive officer, after December 11, 2024 and during the applicable recoupment period (which generally includes the three completed fiscal years prior to the date we conclude, or reasonably should have concluded, that we are required to prepare, or the date on which a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs us to prepare, a financial restatement) that was in excess of what they would have received had their incentive compensation been determined based on the restated amounts.
Practices Related to the Timing of Grants of Certain Equity Awards
Our general practice is to not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information or time the release of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

We entered into change of control and severance agreements with our current executive officers that, among other matters, provide for certain severance and change of control benefits. For additional information, refer to the section titled “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control.”
Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification and advancement of expenses for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware General Corporation Law”), subject to certain limited exceptions. In connection with our initial public offering, we entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements also require us to advance all expenses incurred by the directors and executive officers in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. We have also obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to our directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and to us with respect to payments that may be made by us to these directors and executive officers pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law.
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
Our board of directors has adopted a written related party transaction policy setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related party transactions. Our audit committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving related party transactions, which, subject to certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, are transactions, relationships or arrangements, or any series of transactions, relationships or arrangements, between us and related persons in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000 and in which a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Our policy regarding transactions between us and related persons provides that a related person is defined as a director, executive officer, nominee for director or greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, in each case since the beginning of the most recently completed year, and any of their immediate family members. In reviewing and approving any such transactions,
37
our audit committee is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party, whether the transaction arose in the ordinary course of business, and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. All of the transactions described in this section occurred prior to the adoption of this policy.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT OUR PROXY
MATERIALS AND THE ANNUAL MEETING
This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at 12:00pm PT as a completely virtual meeting. Stockholders can attend the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TTAN2025, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live, submit questions and vote your shares online during the meeting. The Notice containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement and our 2025 Annual Report is first being mailed on or about May 5, 2025 (U.S. Eastern Time), to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
The information provided in the “question and answer” format below is for your convenience only and is merely a summary of the information contained in this proxy statement. You should read this entire proxy statement carefully.
What matters am I voting on?
You will be voting on:
How does the board of directors recommend I vote on these proposals?
Our board of directors recommends a vote:
Who is entitled to vote?
The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is April 23, 2025. Holders of our Class A common stock and holders of our Class B common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 77,236,428 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding and 13,404,097 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding. Our Class A common stock 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. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote on each proposal, and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes on each proposal. Our Class A common stock and Class B common stock are collectively referred to in this proxy statement as our “common stock.”
What is the difference between being a “Registered Stockholder” and holding shares in “street name” as a “Beneficial Holder”?
Registered Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice was provided to you directly by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote live at the Annual Meeting. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to registered stockholders as “stockholders of record.”
39
Street Name Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are held on your behalf in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered to be the beneficial owner of shares that are held in “street name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee, who is considered to be the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting with the 16-digit control number received from your broker, bank or other nominee. If you receive materials related to the Annual Meeting from your broker, bank or other nominee that does not reference a 16-digit control number, follow the instructions included in your proxy materials on how to attend and participate in our virtual meeting. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to stockholders who hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee as “street name stockholders” or “beneficial owners.”
How many votes are needed for approval of each proposal?
What is a quorum?
A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual Meeting to properly hold an annual meeting of our stockholders and conduct business under our amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law. The holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, “WITHHOLD” votes and broker non-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum at the Annual Meeting.
How do I vote?
If you are a stockholder of record, there are four ways to vote:
40
Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also vote by proxy so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.
If you are a street name stockholder, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Street name stockholders should generally be able to vote in advance of the Annual Meeting by returning a voting instruction form and may be able to vote by telephone or on the Internet, depending on the voting process of your broker, bank or other nominee. As discussed above, if you are a street name stockholder, you may vote your shares live at the virtual Annual Meeting with the 16-digit control number you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee. If you receive materials related to the Annual Meeting from your broker, bank or other nominee that does not reference a 16-digit control number, follow the instructions included in your proxy materials on how to attend and participate in our virtual meeting.
Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy any time before the Annual Meeting by:
If you are a street name stockholder, your broker, bank or other nominee can provide you with instructions on how to change or revoke your vote.
What do I need to do to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting?
All holders of our common stock as of the Record Date will be able to attend the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TTAN2025 and entering the 16-digit control number included on the Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form and submit questions during the meeting, with a limit of one question per stockholder. We will answer as many questions submitted in accordance with the meeting rules of conduct as possible in the time allotted for the meeting. Only questions that are relevant to our business operations will be answered.
The Annual Meeting webcast will begin promptly at 12:00pm PT. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 11:45am PT, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures.
What if during the check-in time or during the meeting I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual meeting website?
We will have technicians to assist you if you experience technical difficulties accessing the Annual Meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call 844-986-0822 (domestic) or 303-562-9302 (international).
41
What is the effect of giving a proxy?
Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our board of directors. Ara Mahdessian, Dave Sherry, and Olive Huang have been designated as proxy holders by our board of directors. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors as set forth above. If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting pursuant to our amended and restated bylaws, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote the shares. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed, the proxy holders can vote the shares on the new Annual Meeting date unless you have properly revoked your proxy instructions, as described above.
Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?
In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we have elected to furnish our proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our 2025 Annual Report, primarily via the Internet. The Notice, which contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials via the Internet, is first being mailed on or about May 5, 2025, to all of our stockholders of record as of the Record Date. Stockholders in street name will receive the Notice from their broker, bank or other nominee. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice (www.proxyvote.com). Stockholders may also request to receive proxy materials for this Annual Meeting or future meetings of our stockholders in printed form by mail or electronically by email by following the instructions contained in the Notice. We encourage stockholders to take advantage of the availability of our proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the environmental impact and cost of our annual meetings of stockholders.
How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting?
Our board of directors is soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting. We will bear the entire cost of proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of our proxy materials. Copies of solicitation materials will also be made available upon request to brokers, banks and other nominees to forward to the beneficial owners of the shares of our common stock that are held of record by such brokers, banks, or other nominees. In addition to the use of mail, proxies may be solicited by telephone, electronic communications, or other means by our directors, officers or employees. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services, although we may reimburse such individuals for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation.
How may my brokerage firm or other intermediary vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?
Brokerage firms and other intermediaries holding shares of our common stock in street name for beneficial owners are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by such beneficial owners. In the absence of timely directions, your broker or other intermediary will have discretion to vote your shares on our sole “routine” matter, which is the proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. Your broker or other intermediary will not have discretion to vote on any other proposals, which are all “non-routine” matters, absent direction from you. We refer to the absence of a vote on a non-routine proposal for which a broker has not received instructions as a “broker non-vote.”
42
Why is the Annual Meeting being conducted as a virtual meeting?
The Annual Meeting will again be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which we believe provides the opportunity for participation by a broader group of stockholders while reducing the environmental impact and the costs associated with in-person meetings. We designed the format of the virtual Annual Meeting to ensure that our stockholders are afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would have at an in-person meeting and to enhance stockholder access, participation and communication through online tools. The virtual format facilitates stockholder attendance and participation by enabling stockholders to participate from any location around the world.
Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we will instead file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the preliminary results within four business days after the Annual Meeting and an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K with the final results as soon as such final results become available.
I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?
We have adopted a procedure, which the SEC has approved, called “householding.” Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share the same address, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of such stockholders. Applicable stockholders who have not provided instructions against householding will continue to receive the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials in this manner in subsequent years until they are notified otherwise or until they revoke their consent. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards.
Upon the written or oral request of a stockholder of record, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials to such stockholder at the shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these materials. To receive a separate copy, or, if a stockholder of record is receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials, such stockholder may contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”):
Street name stockholders may contact their broker, bank or other nominee to request information about householding.
