Table of Contents


Who is entitled to vote?						Holders of either class of our common stock at the close of business as of March 28, 2025, the record date for our Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 94,806,155 shares of our Class A common stock and 22,974,630 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 sometimes collectively referred to in this Proxy Statement as our “common stock.” Registered Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to vote by internet during the meeting or vote through submitting a proxy via the internet, by telephone or, if you request or receive paper proxy materials by mail, by filling out and returning the proxy card. Throughout this Proxy Statement, we refer to these registered stockholders as “stockholders of record.” 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 or nominee, who is considered 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 if you follow the instructions you receive from your broker, bank or nominee. You can also choose to cause your shares to be voted before the Annual Meeting by internet or telephone or by internet during the Annual Meeting, in each case by using the 16-digit control number, which is in the instructions accompanying your proxy materials, if your broker, bank or nominee makes those instructions available. Beneficial owners are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

What do I need to be able to attend the Annual Meeting online?						We will be hosting our Annual Meeting via live audio webcast only. Any stockholder can attend the Annual Meeting live online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TDUP2025. The webcast will start at 12:15 p.m. Pacific Time on May 21, 2025. Stockholders may vote and ask questions while attending the Annual Meeting online, although we urge you to vote before the meeting using this proxy for efficiency of administration. In order to be able to attend the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number, which is located on your Notice, on your proxy card or in the instructions accompanying your proxy materials. Instructions on how to participate in the Annual Meeting are also posted online at www.proxyvote.com.

Table of Contents


How many votes are needed for the approval of each proposal?						Proposal One. The election of directors requires a plurality of the voting power of the shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. “Plurality” means that the nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast “For” such nominees are elected as directors. As a result, any shares not voted “For” a particular nominee (whether as a result of a vote withheld or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in such nominee’s favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election. You may vote “For” all nominees, “Withhold” for all nominees, or “Withhold” for any nominee by specifying the name of the nominee on your proxy card. Proposal Two. The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our year ending December 31, 2025 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. You may vote “For,” “Against” or “Abstain” from voting on this proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “Against” this proposal. We expect there will be no broker non-votes with respect to this proposal, because brokers have discretionary voting authority with respect to this proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on this proposal.

What is the quorum requirement?						A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual Meeting to properly hold an annual meeting of stockholders and conduct business under our bylaws and Delaware law. The presence, in person or by remote communication or represented by proxy, of a majority of the voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, withhold votes and broker non-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for the purposes of determining a quorum.

Table of Contents


How do I vote?						If you are a stockholder of record, there are four ways to vote: (1)by submitting a proxy via the internet at www.proxyvote.com 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 20, 2025 (have your Notice or proxy card in hand when you visit the website); (2)by submitting a proxy via toll-free telephone at 1-800-690-6903, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 20, 2025 (have your Notice or proxy card in hand when you call); (3)by completing and mailing your proxy card (if you received printed proxy materials); or (4)by internet during the Annual Meeting. Instructions on how to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting are described at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TDUP2025. In order to ensure they are counted, proxies submitted by telephone or internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 20, 2025. Proxies submitted by U.S. mail must be received before the start of the Annual Meeting. If you are a street name stockholder, please follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee to submit voting instructions by internet, telephone or mail before the meeting, or by internet during the Annual Meeting, in each case by using the 16-digit control number, which is in the instructions accompanying your proxy materials, if your broker, bank or nominee makes those instructions available.

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 by: •notifying our Secretary, in writing, at ThredUp Inc., 969 Broadway, Suite 200, Oakland, California 94607. Such notice must be received at the above location before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 20, 2025; •submitting a subsequent proxy, which may be done using the telephone or internet before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 20, 2025 (your proxy is the one that will be counted); or •attending and voting during the Annual Meeting. Simply logging into the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy. If you are a street name stockholder, you may revoke any prior voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting by internet during the meeting by using the 16-digit control number, which is in the instructions accompanying your proxy materials, if your broker, bank or nominee makes those instructions available.

Table of Contents


What is the effect of giving a proxy?						Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our Board. James Reinhart, Sean Sobers and Alon Rotem have been designated as proxy holders by our Board. When proxies are properly granted, 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 as described above. If any matters not described in this Proxy Statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote the shares. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned, continued or postponed, the proxy holders can vote the shares on the new Annual Meeting date as well, unless you have properly revoked your proxy instructions, as described above.

What is the effect of votes withheld, abstentions and broker non-votes?						Votes withheld from any nominee, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., where a broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and for which the broker does not have discretionary power to vote on a particular matter) are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Shares voting “withheld” have no effect on the election of directors in an uncontested election. Abstentions have the same effect as a vote “against” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. Brokerage firms and other intermediaries holding shares of our common stock in street name for their customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker will have discretion to vote your shares on Proposal Two (ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our year ending December 31, 2025), our sole “routine” matter. Absent direction from you, your broker will not have discretion to vote on Proposal One (election of directors), which is a “non-routine” matter. Broker non-votes for Proposal One will not be counted in such nominee’s favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to furnish our proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our 2024 Annual Report, primarily via the internet. On or about April 7, 2025, we mailed to our stockholders a Notice that contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials on the internet, how to vote at the meeting and how to request printed copies of the proxy materials and our 2024 Annual Report. Stockholders may request to receive all future proxy materials 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 the proxy materials on the internet to help reduce the environmental impact of our annual meetings of stockholders.

Table of Contents


Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?						We will announce preliminary results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose final results by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Current Report on Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting and who is paying for the solicitation?						Our Board is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. All expenses associated with this solicitation will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokers or other nominees for reasonable expenses that they incur in sending our proxy materials to you if a broker, bank or other nominee holds shares of our common stock on your behalf. In addition, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Our directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

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 called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. 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. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these materials. To receive a separate copy, or, if a stockholder 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 us at: ThredUp Inc. Attention: Investor Relations 969 Broadway Suite 200 Oakland, California 94607 (855) 980-5920 Street name stockholders may contact their broker, bank or other nominee to request information about householding.

To be timely for the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, our Secretary must receive the written notice at our principal executive offices: •not earlier than the close of business on December 8, 2025; and •not later than the close of business on January 7, 2026 In the event we hold the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of the Annual Meeting, then, for notice by the stockholder to be timely, it must be received by the Secretary not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting, or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made. If a stockholder who has notified us of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting of stockholders does not appear to present his, her, or its proposal at such annual meeting, we are not required to present the proposal for a vote at such annual meeting.

Any such recommendations must include the nominee's name and qualification for Board membership and be directed to our Secretary at the address set forth above.

What does being an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” mean?						We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include: •an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting; •an exemption from compliance with any requirement that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board may adopt regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; •reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and •exemptions from the requirements to obtain a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or a stockholder approval of any golden parachute arrangements. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue; (ii) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (iii) the date on which we have issued, in any three-year period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities and (iv) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering (our “IPO”). We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available benefits under the JOBS Act. In addition, under the JOBS Act, “emerging growth companies” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to avail ourselves of this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Accordingly, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” We are also a “smaller reporting company,” and will continue to be a smaller reporting company until either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates as measured as of the late date of the second quarter is greater than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates as of the late date of the second quarter is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies.
						Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.

PROPOSAL ONE:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Number of Directors; Board Structure

Our Board is divided into three staggered classes of directors. One class is elected each year at the annual meeting of stockholders for a term of three years. The term of the Class I directors expires at the Annual Meeting. The term of the Class II directors expires at the 2026 annual meeting and the term of the Class III directors expires at the 2027 annual meeting. After the initial terms expire, directors are expected to be elected to hold office for a three-year term and until the election and qualification of their successors in office.

Nominees

Our Board has nominated Messrs. Ian Friedman and Timothy Haley and Ms. Coretha Rushing for election as Class I directors to hold office until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, subject to their earlier resignation or removal. Each of the nominees is a member of our Board and has consented to serve if elected. Proxies may not be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in this proxy statement as only Class I is up for re-election at the Annual Meeting.

Unless you direct otherwise through your proxy voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote all proxies received “FOR” the election of each nominee. If any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve at the time of the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee chosen by our present Board. In the alternative, the proxies may vote only for the remaining nominees, leaving a vacancy on our Board. Our Board may fill such vacancy at a later date or reduce the size of our Board. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected as a director.

Recommendation of our Board

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES.

The biographies of each of the nominees and continuing directors below contain information regarding each such person’s service as a director, business experience, director positions held currently or at any time during the last five years, and the experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that caused our Board to determine that the person should serve as a director of the Company. In addition to the information presented below regarding each nominee’s and continuing director’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led our Board to the conclusion that he or she should serve as a director, we also believe that each of our directors has a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards. Each of our directors has demonstrated business acumen and an ability to exercise sound judgment, as well as a commitment of service to our company and our board. Finally, we value our directors’ diversity and experience in relevant areas of business management and on other boards and board committees.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also dictate that a majority of our Board be comprised of directors whom our Board has determined are “independent” directors under the published listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq").

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board, which is elected by our stockholders. In carrying out its responsibilities, our Board selects and monitors our top management, provides oversight of our financial reporting processes, and determines and implements our corporate governance policies.

Our Board and management team are committed to good corporate governance to ensure that we are managed for the long-term benefit of our stockholders, and we have a variety of policies and procedures to promote such goals. To that end, during the past year, our management periodically reviewed our corporate governance policies and practices to ensure that they remain consistent with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), SEC rules, and the listing standards of Nasdaq and the Long-Term Stock Exchange (“LTSE”).

Besides verifying the independence of the members of our Board and committees (which is discussed in the section titled “Independence of Our Board”), at the direction of our Board, we also:

•Periodically review and make necessary changes to the charters for our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and ESG Committees;

•Establish disclosures control policies and procedures in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC;

•Have a procedure for receipt and treatment of anonymous and confidential complaints or concerns regarding audit or accounting matters in place; and

•Have a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to our employees, officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive and senior financial officers.

In addition, we have adopted a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our Nominating and ESG Committee is responsible for reviewing our Corporate Governance Guidelines from time to time and reporting and making recommendations to our Board concerning corporate governance matters. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines can be found on our investor relations website at ir.thredup.com. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines address such matters as:

•Director Independence - Independent directors must constitute at least a majority of our Board;

•Monitoring Board Effectiveness - Our Board must conduct an annual self-evaluation of our Board and its committees;

•Board Access to Independent Advisors - Our Board as a whole, and each of its committees separately, have authority to retain independent experts, advisors or professionals as each deems necessary or appropriate; and

•Board Committees - All members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and ESG Committee are independent in accordance with applicable Nasdaq and LTSE criteria.

Meetings of Our Board

Our Board held four meetings in 2024. Except Mr. Paransky, each director attended at least 75% of all meetings of our Board and the committees on which he or she served that were held during fiscal year 2024. Mr. Paransky joined the Board in June 2024 and attended the two Board meetings and two Audit Committee meetings that occurred in 2024 after he joined the Board. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, directors are expected to spend the time needed and meet as frequently as our Board deems necessary or appropriate to discharge their responsibilities. Directors are also expected to make efforts to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, all meetings of our Board and all meetings of the committees on which they serve. Directors are encouraged, but not required, to attend our annual meetings of stockholders.

Code of Conduct

Our Board has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of

Table of Contents

our Code of Conduct is available on our investor relations website at ir.thredup.com under “Corporate Governance.” We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding amendments to, or waiver from, a provision of our Code of Conduct by posting such information on the website address and location specified above. During 2024, no waivers were granted from any provision of the Code of Conduct.

Independence of Our Board

Our Class A common stock is listed on Nasdaq and LTSE. Under Nasdaq and LTSE listing standards, independent directors must constitute a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, Nasdaq and LTSE listing standards require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating committees be independent. Under Nasdaq and LTSE listing standards, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that listed company’s board of directors, that director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq and LTSE listing standards. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq and LTSE listing standards.

Our Board 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 has determined that Messrs. Friedman, Haley, Lazar, Nova and Paransky and Mses. Ginsberg, Nakache and Rushing do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq and LTSE. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director and any of their affiliated funds, and the transactions involving them described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Board Leadership Structure

The positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of our Board are separated. Patricia Nakache serves as the Chairperson of our Board, presides over meetings of our Board and holds such other powers and carries out such other duties as are customarily carried out by the Chairperson of our Board. The Board believes that with Ms. Nakache’s experience as a current and former director of numerous privately held consumer growth and technology companies, as well as her significant knowledge of the industry in which we operate, she brings abundant governance expertise and business acumen that helps ensure strong independent oversight and effective collaboration among the directors. Our Board believes that separating these roles is appropriate as it allows us to pursue strategic and operational objectives while maintaining effective oversight and objective evaluation of corporate performance.

Our Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board has responsibility for the oversight of our risk management processes and, either as a whole or through its committees, regularly discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our business and the steps we take to manage them. The risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from Board committees and members of senior management to enable our Board to understand our risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies with respect to areas of potential material risk, including operations, finance, legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, strategic and reputational risk.

Our Board believes that open communication between our management team and our Board is essential to management and oversight. Our Board meets with our Chief Executive Officer and other members of the senior management team at quarterly meetings of our Board, as well as at such other times as they deem appropriate, where, among other topics they discuss major risk exposures, their potential impact on our business and steps we take to manage them.

Table of Contents

While our Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, our Board committees assist our Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. Our Audit Committee oversees and reviews the Company’s guidelines and policies that govern the process by which the Company’s exposure to risk is assessed and managed by management. More specifically, our Audit Committee assists our Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk assessment and risk management in the areas of internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, legal and regulatory compliance, liquidity risk, enterprise risk management and cybersecurity, in consultation with Deloitte & Touche LLP. Our Audit Committee also discusses and considers, with our management team and Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company's major financial, operational, privacy, security, competition, regulatory, enterprise, network and product cybersecurity, and accounting risk exposures or other exposures and the steps that the Company's management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. Our Nominating and ESG Committee assists our Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risk associated with our Board’s organization, membership, structure, corporate governance and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters. Our Compensation Committee assesses risks created by the incentives inherent in our compensation policies. Finally, our full Board reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of reports from our management team, receives reports on all significant committee activities at each regular meeting and evaluates the risks inherent in significant transactions.

Risks Related to Compensation Policies and Practices

As part of its oversight function, our Board, and our Compensation Committee in particular, along with our management team, considers potential risks when reviewing and approving various compensation plans, including executive compensation. Based on this review, our Compensation Committee has concluded that such compensation plans, including executive compensation, do not encourage risk taking to a degree that is reasonably likely to have a materially adverse impact on us or our operations.

Committees of Our Board

Our Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and ESG Committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our Board is described below. Members serve on these committees so long as they remain on the Board until their resignation or until as otherwise determined by our Board. Each of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and ESG Committees operates pursuant to a separate written charter adopted by our Board that is available to stockholders at ir.thredup.com under “Corporate Governance.”

Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees

Our Board has delegated to our Nominating and ESG Committee the responsibility of identifying suitable candidates for nomination to our Board (including candidates to fill any vacancies that may occur) and assessing their qualifications in light of the policies and principles in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Committee’s charter. Our Nominating and ESG Committee may gather information about the candidates through interviews, detailed questionnaires, comprehensive background checks, or any other means that the Committee deems to be appropriate in the evaluation process. Our Nominating and ESG Committee then meets as a group to discuss and evaluate the qualities and skills of each candidate, both on an individual basis and taking into account the overall composition and needs of our Board. Based on the results of the evaluation process, our Nominating and ESG Committee recommends candidates for our Board’s approval as director nominees for election to our Board.

Minimum Qualifications

Our Nominating and ESG Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees and will consider all facts and circumstances that it deems appropriate or advisable. In its identification and evaluation of director candidates, our Nominating and ESG Committee will consider the current size and composition of our Board, as well as the needs of our Board and the respective committees of our Board. Some of the qualifications that our Nominating and ESG Committee consider include, without limitation, issues of character, ethics, integrity, judgment, independence, diversity, skills, education, expertise, business acumen, length of service, understanding of our business and industry, and other commitments. Although our Board does not maintain a specific policy with respect to Board diversity, our Board believes that our Board should be a diverse body, and our Nominating and ESG Committee considers a broad range of backgrounds, skills and experiences.

Nominees must also have proven achievement and competence in their field, the ability to exercise sound business judgment, an objective perspective, the ability to offer advice and support to our management team, and the ability to make significant contributions to our success. Nominees must also have skills that are complementary to those of our existing Board, the highest ethics, a commitment to the long-term interests of our stockholders, and an understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities that are required of a director. Nominees must have sufficient time available in the judgment of our Nominating and ESG Committee to effectively perform all Board and committee responsibilities. Members of our Board are expected to prepare for, attend and participate in all meetings of our Board and applicable committee meetings. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although our Nominating and ESG Committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem, from time to time, are in our and our stockholders’ best interests. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our Nominating and ESG Committee recommends to our full Board the director nominees for selection.

Our Impact and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Efforts

We are committed to sustainable and ethical business practices and have implemented ESG policies and goals throughout our company to formalize and manage our commitment over time.

Environmental. The environment is one of our most important stakeholders and combating the harmful effects of disposable fashion is one of our greatest goals. By promoting a scalable, mainstream market for resale, ThredUp drives meaningful impact for the planet by helping to offset the environmental cost of fashion. Our core business of reselling secondhand apparel sourced from consumers' closets helps reduce fashion's overall environmental footprint. In addition to our core marketplace, some of the world’s leading fashion brands and retailers are leveraging our platform through our Resale-as-a-Service (“RaaS”) offering, which enables them to deliver customizable, scalable resale solutions. By extending the life of clothes, we believe that our unique supply chain and business model present a powerful solution to the fashion industry's wastefulness. Beyond the positive environmental impact of our core business model, we also examine the environmental footprint of our operations and continue to seek out initiatives that can lower our environmental impact, while also improving operations and lowering operating expenses.

We are also focused on educating the world about fashion waste, helping consumers understand how their fashion habits contribute to climate change and empowering individuals with the tools they need to make more sustainable fashion choices. In addition, our annual Resale Report sizes the growing secondhand market and resale industry and includes data about the role sustainability plays in purchasing decisions, as well as the rise of branded resale and its impact.

Additionally, we engage in public policy and advocacy in partnership with industry groups and coalitions to educate policymakers and shape relevant public policy. For instance, we are a founding member of The American Circular Textiles ("ACT") policy group, which aims to develop and shape policies to support circular fashion and textile recycling and recovery in the United States. We believe these efforts will be key for combating the fashion industry’s environmental impact. Our educational, public policy and government relations efforts shine a light on global issues such as overproduction, product circularity, disposable fashion culture and single-use fashion.

Social. Our business impacts society by engaging various stakeholders, but it starts with our employees. We believe our people are our greatest asset and are reimagining our employee experience to reflect that philosophy. We work diligently to attract the best talent from a diverse range of sources in order to meet the current and future demands of our business.

As part of this goal, we are committed to ensuring our employees and professional contractors are comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work every day. We believe that a unique perspective is critical to solving complex problems and inspiring the world to think secondhand first. We champion diversity in its most expansive sense, recognizing and embracing a rich spectrum of perspectives, experiences, and talents.

All full-time United States based employees are eligible to participate in our employee stock purchase plan, paid sabbatical program and 401k plan.

Governance. We have created a governance structure to promote responsibility and accountability for ESG matters across our company. Our dual-class capital structure provides our founder and CEO with the ability to prioritize our ESG efforts. The Nominating and ESG Committee of our Board has specific oversight of ESG matters pursuant to its charter. We have an employee-led Impact committee, with participation from executive management and senior members of our operations, finance, marketing, people and legal teams. Our Impact committee meets quarterly to manage our long-term ESG strategy and reports to executive management and our Board of directors.

In addition to being listed on Nasdaq, our Class A common stock shares are listed on the Long-Term Stock Exchange, or the LTSE. The LTSE is an SEC-registered national securities exchange built for companies focused on long-term thinking. As an LTSE-listed company, we must publish policies that focus on value creation and stockholder engagement over time and commit to the LTSE’s listing principles. Copies of our LTSE Policies are available in the “Governance” section of our Investor Relations website, ir.thredup.com. Information on or accessible through our website is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement.

We believe independent governance fosters effective Board leadership. For this reason, we have appointed an independent chair to lead our Board of directors and have confirmed that all of our directors, other than our CEO, are independent according to the Nasdaq and LTSE listing standards, including all of the members of our Audit, Compensation and Nominating and ESG Committees. Under this framework, we believe that it is easier for Board members to express dissenting views and that different viewpoints and perspectives will make us a more well-rounded and resilient company.

We are proud of having built a corporate culture that emphasizes and supports ethical corporate behavior. We have formally adopted and published our Code of Conduct. The full text of our Code of Conduct is posted on our website at https://ir.thredup.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview under “Governance Documents.” Information on or accessible through our website is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement. We have established a whistleblower program for compliance, ethics and fraud, overseen by our Audit Committee Chairperson and Chief Legal Officer. We also have a formal internal enterprise risk management process to highlight emerging risks and oversee risk mitigation efforts across the organization, overseen by our Audit Committee pursuant to our Audit Committee charter.

Data security is also critically important to our operations. We maintain an information security program that includes physical, technical and administrative safeguards designed to protect customer and employee data. We engage independent auditors to evaluate our controls relating to security, confidentiality and availability on an annual basis. With respect to online payment acceptance, we maintain Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (also known as PCI DSS) merchant compliance through all our different channels of commerce. Our information security program includes application security assessments, vulnerability management, penetration testing, security audits, and ongoing risk assessments. We also require all employees and contractors with access to our systems to complete a cybersecurity awareness training on an annual basis. Internally, we have established a formal enterprise risk management program that includes processes for the systematic identification, assessment, management, and treatment of cybersecurity risks. Pursuant to this program, our Audit Committee receives reports on the information security program and related cyber risks on a quarterly basis.

We also take the privacy of our customer and employee data seriously. Our privacy program includes a data inventory and a data map of the systems where personal information is stored and a data privacy impact assessment template to evaluate our processing activities. We have a consumer-facing privacy policy that outlines

Table of Contents

our data use and sharing practices and a consumer-facing California privacy notice that informs individuals about their privacy rights including how to exercise data access, deletion and do not sell requests. In addition, we provide privacy training guides and materials to educate our workforce on the importance of key principles such as data minimization and purpose limitation.

Insider Trading Policies and Procedures

We are committed to promoting high standards of ethical business conduct and compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. As part of this commitment, we have adopted an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers, employees, contractors and other personnel providing services to ThredUp, as well as by ThredUp itself, that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. In addition, ThredUp has adopted a Rule 10b5-1 Plan Policy that requires the Company’s employees, officers and directors to get approval for any Rule 10b5-1 plan prior to adoption, modification or amendment of any such plan. ThredUp will not engage in trading in ThredUp securities, except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

We maintain a Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy pursuant to which our non-employee directors are eligible to receive the following cash retainers and equity awards, which are paid out on a quarterly basis:


Annual Retainer for Board Membership
Annual service on the Board	$	40,000
Annual service for chair of the Board (in addition to annual service on the Board)	$	20,000
Additional Annual Retainer for Committee Membership
Annual service as member of the Audit Committee (other than chair)	$	10,000
Annual service as chair of the Audit Committee	$	20,000
Annual service as member of the Compensation Committee (other than chair)	$	10,000

Annual service as member of the Nominating and ESG Committee (other than chair)	$	10,000
Annual service as chair of the Nominating and ESG Committee	$	15,000

Our non-employee directors may elect to receive their cash retainers in the form of fully-vested restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards.

Our policy provides that, upon initial election to our Board, each new non-employee director will be granted a one-time restricted stock unit award with a value of $300,000 (the “Initial Grant”). Furthermore, on the date of each of our annual meeting of stockholders, other than for non-employee directors that have been on the Board for less than six months as of such date, each non-employee director who continues as a non-employee director following such meeting will be granted an annual RSU award with a value of $150,000 (the “Annual Grant”). The Annual Grant vests in full on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date or (ii) our next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to continued service as a director through the applicable vesting date. The Initial Grant vests in equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant, subject to continued service as a director through the applicable vesting date. Such awards are subject to full acceleration of vesting upon the sale of the Company.

Employee directors receive no additional compensation for their service as a director.

We reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by directors for their attendance at meetings of our Board or any committee thereof.

Our Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025, and we are asking you and other stockholders to ratify this appointment.

Although ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, our Board is submitting the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. A majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal is required to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP. In the event that a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote do not ratify this appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, our Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Deloitte & Touche LLP. Even if the appointment is ratified, our Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the stockholders.

We expect that representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will attend the Annual Meeting and the representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so choose. The representatives will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Audit Committee Charter and Practices on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

Our Audit Committee operates under the Audit Committee charter pursuant to which our Audit Committee must pre-approve all auditing services and non-audit services to be provided to the Company by independent auditors. Pursuant to the Audit Committee charter, the pre-approval requirement is waived for non-audit services if the “de minimis” provisions of Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act apply. Further, our Audit Committee may delegate authority to pre-approve non-audit services to the Audit Committee chair up to a dollar amount agreed upon by our Audit Committee, who shall report all pre-approval decisions to our Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee has pre-approved all services performed since the Audit Committee charter was adopted.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table sets forth the fees billed or to be billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP and their affiliates for professional services rendered with respect to the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. All of these services were approved by our Audit Committee.

The information contained in this audit committee report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material,” “filed” with the SEC, subject to Regulations 14A or 14C of the Exchange Act, or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act. No portion of this audit committee report shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, through any general statement incorporating by reference in its entirety the proxy statement in which this report appears, except to the extent that ThredUp specifically incorporates this report or a portion of it by reference.

This report is submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board. The Audit Committee consists of the directors whose names appear below. None of the members of the Audit Committee is an officer or employee of ThredUp, and the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” for Audit Committee purposes as that term is defined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the applicable Nasdaq and LTSE rules. Each member of the Audit Committee meets the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, Nasdaq and LTSE.

The Audit Committee’s general role is to assist the Board in monitoring the Company’s financial reporting process and related matters. The Audit Committee ’s specific responsibilities are set forth in its charter.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and met with its management team, as well as with representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, to discuss the consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with members of Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC.

In addition, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with members of Deloitte & Touche LLP its independence.

Based on these discussions, the financial statement review and other matters it deemed relevant, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 be included in its 2024 Annual Report.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview

Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate, incentivize and retain our executive officers, who contribute to our long-term success. Pay that is competitive, rewards performance and effectively aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our long-term stockholders is key to our compensation program design and decisions. We structure our executive compensation programs to be weighted towards long-term equity incentives that correlate with the growth of sustainable long-term value for our stockholders.

Our Compensation Committee is authorized to retain the services of one or more executive compensation advisors, as it sees fit, in connection with the establishment of our executive compensation programs and related policies. In the year ended December 31, 2024, or fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee continued to retain Compensia to provide it with market information, analysis and other advice relating to executive compensation on an ongoing basis. The Compensation Committee engaged Compensia to, among other things, assist in developing a group of peer companies to help us determine overall compensation for our executive officers, as well as to assess each separate element of compensation. The goal was to ensure that the compensation we offer to our executive officers, individually as well as in the aggregate, is competitive and aligned with our business and executive talent requirements. We do not believe the retention of, and the work performed by, Compensia creates any conflict of interest because Compensia performs no other work for the Company besides advising the Compensation Committee.

Included in this discussion is specific information about the compensation earned or paid in fiscal 2024 to the following named executive officers: (i) the individual who served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company during fiscal 2024 and (ii) the next two most highly compensated executive officers of the Company during fiscal 2024 (the “Named Executive Officers”). Our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2024 are:

•James Reinhart, our Chief Executive Officer, Director and Co-Founder;

•Christopher Homer, our Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder; and

•Sean Sobers, our Chief Financial Officer.

We have prepared the compensation information in this proxy statement in compliance with the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table presents information regarding the compensation awarded to, earned by and paid to our named executive officers during fiscal 2024 and for the year ending December 31, 2023, or fiscal 2023.

(1) The amounts reported for fiscal 2024 represent discretionary cash bonuses provided to each of our named executive officers.

(2) The amounts reported represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSU awards granted to our named executive officers during fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, each calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification/FASB ASC Topic 718. Such grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures related to service-vesting conditions. The assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of the RSUs reported in this column are set forth in Note 10 of our consolidated financial

Table of Contents

statements included for fiscal 2023 which are included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025. The amounts reported in this column reflect the accounting cost for the RSUs and do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by our named executive officers upon the settlement of such RSUs or any sale of the underlying shares of Class A common stock.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

Cash Compensation

We use base salaries to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of all our employees, including our named executive officers. Base salaries are reviewed annually, typically in connection with our annual performance review process, which are adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. During fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, the base salaries for Messrs. Reinhart, Homer, and Sobers were $980,000, $635,000, and $635,000, respectively.

Equity Compensation

Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the grant of equity incentive awards to our executive officers, we believe that equity grants provide our executives with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executives and our stockholders. In addition, we believe that equity grants with a time-based vesting feature promote executive retention because this feature incentivizes our executive officers to remain in our employment during the vesting period. Accordingly, our board of directors periodically reviews the equity incentive compensation of our named executive officers and may grant equity incentive awards to them from time to time. On February 26, 2024, we granted annual refresh RSU grants to Messrs. Reinhart, Homer, and Sobers for 2,000,000, 650,000 and 440,000 RSUs for our Class A common stock, respectively, that vest quarterly over three years.

Bonuses

During fiscal 2023, we shifted our compensation practices to increase base salaries to increase financial stability to our named executive officers rather than to provide incentive compensation opportunities under our Senior Executive Cash Incentive Bonus Plan. Despite this change in compensation strategy, our Compensation Committee retains discretion to grant bonuses to our executives in the event that the Company surpasses certain company performance targets. In fiscal 2024, our Compensation Committee approved certain discretionary cash bonuses to our named executive officers in the amounts reported above in the Summary Compensation Table in recognition of the Company's performance in the second half of fiscal 2024.

Health and Welfare Benefits

Our named executive officers, like all full-time employees, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare benefit plans.

Perquisites and Personal Benefits

We generally do not provide perquisites to our executives, other than company-paid executive life insurance and executive long-term disability insurance premiums, reimbursement for relocation expenses and certain other de minimis perquisites to our executive officers, including our named executive officers.

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

Our insider trading policy prohibits all of our directors, officers, including our named executive officers, employees and contractors, from (i) trading derivative securities of the Company or any derivative securities that provide the economic equivalent of ownership of any of the Company’s securities or an opportunity, direct or indirect, to profit from any change in the value of the Company’s securities or engage in any other hedging transaction with respect to the Company’s securities, at any time, (ii) using the Company’s securities as collateral in a margin account and (iii) pledging the Company’s securities as collateral for a loan (or modifying an existing pledge).

Table of Contents

Clawback Policy

On August 4, 2023, we adopted a compensation recovery policy (the “Clawback Policy”), in compliance with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, final SEC rules and applicable Nasdaq listing standards, which covers our current and former executive officers, including all of our Named Executive Officers. Under the Clawback Policy, if we are required to prepare a restatement of previously issued financial statements of the Company due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under federal securities laws, the Company will recover any incentive-based compensation received by any current or former executive officer during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the restatement that is in excess of what would have been paid or earned by such executive officer had the financial results been properly reported.

401(k) Plan

We maintain a tax-qualified retirement plan that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis (the “401(k) Plan”). Participants in the 401(k) Plan are able to defer eligible compensation on a pre-tax or after tax (Roth) basis, subject to applicable annual Internal Revenue Code limits. The 401(k) Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code with the 401(k) Plan’s related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, pre-tax contributions to the 401(k) Plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) Plan, and earnings on Roth contributions are not taxable when distributed from the 401(k) Plan.

Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers

Offer Letters in Place During Fiscal 2024 for Named Executive Officers

James Reinhart

We did not have an offer letter agreement in place with Mr. Reinhart during fiscal 2024. Mr. Reinhart’s employment is at-will and he is subject to our standard employment, confidential information, return of property, non-competition, non-solicitation, invention assignment and arbitration agreements.

Mr. Sobers’s employment is at-will and he is subject to our standard employment, confidential information, return of property, non-competition, non-solicitation, invention assignment and arbitration agreements.

Executive Severance Plan

Our named executive officers, and certain other executives, participate in an executive severance plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”). Our Executive Severance Plan provides that upon a (i) termination by us for any reason other than for “cause,” as defined in the Executive Severance Plan or (ii) for the Company’s chief executive officer only, a resignation for “good reason,” as defined in the Executive Severance Plan, in each case outside of the change in control period (i.e., the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months after, a “change in control,” as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), an eligible participant will be entitled to receive, subject to the execution and delivery of an effective release of claims in favor of the Company, (i) cash payments over six monthly installments for each eligible participant, or for the Company’s chief executive officer 12 monthly

The Executive Severance Plan also provides that upon a (i) termination by us other than for cause or (ii) a resignation for good reason, in each case within the change in control period, an eligible participant will be entitled to receive, in lieu of the payments and benefits above and subject to the execution and delivery of an effective release of claims in favor of the Company, (i) a lump sum cash payment equal 100% of an eligible participant’s base salary, or for the Company’s chief executive officer, 150% of his base salary, (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to 100% of the eligible participant’s annual target bonus, (iii) a monthly cash payment equal to our contribution towards health insurance premiums for up to 12 months for each eligible participant, or for the Company’s chief executive officer, 18 months, and (iv) accelerated vesting of 100% of the time-based outstanding and unvested equity award held by the eligible participant; provided, that any performance-based unvested and outstanding equity awards shall be subject to the performance conditions as specified in the applicable award agreements or upon actual achievement.

The payments and benefits provided under the Executive Severance Plan in connection with a change in control may not be eligible for a federal income tax deduction by us pursuant to Section 280G of the Code. These payments and benefits may also subject an eligible participant, including the named executive officers, to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code. If the payments or benefits payable in connection with a change in control would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, then those payments or benefits will be reduced if such reduction would result in a higher net after-tax benefit to the recipient.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Relationships and Transactions

In addition to the compensation arrangements, including employment, termination of employment and change in control arrangements and indemnification arrangements, discussed, when required, in the sections titled “Executive Officers” and “Executive Compensation” the following is a description of each transaction since January 1, 2024 and each currently proposed transaction in which:

•we have been or are to be a participant;

•the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000; and

•any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial owners of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Investors’ Rights Agreement

We are party to a tenth amended and restated investors’ rights agreement, dated February 16, 2021 that provides, among other things, that certain holders of our capital stock, including entities affiliated with Global Private Opportunities Partners, Highland Capital Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Trinity Ventures and Upfront Ventures, each a current or former holder of more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock, and Norman Matthews, a former member of our Board, have the right to demand that we file a registration statement or request that their shares of our capital stock be included on a registration statement that we are otherwise filing.

Other Transactions

We have granted restricted stock unit awards for our common stock to our executive officers and certain of our directors. See the sections titled “Executive Compensation” and “Corporate Governance—Non-Employee Director Compensation” for a description of these options and restricted stock unit awards.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and officers. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We are also party to an insurance policy that insures our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities.

Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions

Our Audit Committee charter provides that the Audit Committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving “related party transactions,” which are transactions 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. For purposes of this policy, 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 their immediate family members.

Certain of the transactions described above were entered into prior to the adoption of this policy. Accordingly, such transactions were approved by either the Audit Committee or the disinterested members of our Board after making a determination that the transaction was executed on terms no less favorable than those that could have been obtained from an unrelated third party. Any related party transactions entered into after we adopted this policy were approved by our Audit Committee after making a determination that the transaction was executed on terms no less favorable than those that could have been obtained from an unrelated third party.
