Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
| Competitiveness | Attracting and retaining critical talent is important to us. We operate in a highly competitive talent market in the technology industry and our pay programs are designed to be competitive to attract and retain talent that supports our mission and culture. | | Management Longevity | We believe that management longevity is a key driver of long-term value creation. Our executive compensation programs are designed to retain our executives, including through the use of time-based equity awards that vest over multiple years. In addition, we seek to reward significant growth in key financial and performance metrics through the use of performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) for our executives. | | Long-Term Ownership | We want our executives to think like owners. To ensure our leaders are focused on sustainable growth rather than short-term payouts, our program intentionally does not include annual cash bonuses. Instead, we heavily weight total pay towards equity. In 2025, approximately 90% of each of our current NEOs’ average compensation was equity-based and 100% of our CEO’s direct compensation was equity-based. | | Strong Performance Orientation | We have a high standard for performance. We consider Company and individual performance, criticality of position, and trajectory in sizing our equity grants for our executive officers. The RSU grants we made to our NEOs in 2025 vest over multiple years. The value realized from those grants is based on the value of our stock price when (and if) the grants vest, enhancing the link between the interests of our executives and our stockholders. We additionally granted PSUs for our executives in 2025 that are eligible to vest based on substantial financial and performance metrics to further enhance the performance orientation of the program and continued service. |
2025 Performance Highlights
Our 2025 executive compensation program is designed to directly reward the financial metrics that drive our business forward. For our NEOs, PSUs vest based on performance against pre-determined bookings and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA margin targets. Below is further information regarding the Company’s performance against these metrics. Our LDCC chose to tie PSUs to these metrics to ensure executives are incentivized based on both the cash-generating activity occurring during the performance period and to balance growth with operational efficiency.
2025 Compensation Program Highlights
| ◼ | CEO: In alignment with the Company’s pay for performance philosophy, all of Mr. Baszucki’s direct compensation was provided in long-term equity, with 75% subject to performance conditions. Mr. Baszucki’s salary remained at $0 in 2025. |
2025 Compensation Program Highlights
| ◼ | NEOs: We continue to heavily weight total compensation toward long-term equity, including PSUs that further align pay with performance. |
2025 Compensation Program Highlights
| ◼ | PSU Design: Our PSU program is designed so that the PSUs granted in 2025 pay out based on achievement against pre-determined bookings and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA margin targets for a two-year performance period. The PSUs are subject to an additional year of time-based vesting following the conclusion of this performance period. |
Compensation Practices
| What we do | What we do not do | | ◼ 100% independent director composition of the LDCC ◼ independent compensation advisor: the LDCC engages an independent compensation advisor, who provides no services to the Company other than for executive officer and director compensation ◼ a significant portion of compensation for NEOs is at-risk and a significant portion is tied to substantial performance against key financial metrics ◼ annual review of NEO compensation and peer group data ◼ double-trigger change in control arrangements ◼ assess the risk-reward balance of our compensation programs to mitigate undue risks ◼ robust stock ownership requirements apply to all executive officers and non-employee directors ◼ annual advisory vote on NEO compensation | ◼ no pension plans ◼ no hedging or pledging of our stock by directors or employees ◼ no excise tax gross-ups upon a change in control |
Compensation-Setting Process
Compensation-Setting Process Annually, the LDCC reviews and considers decisions on base salary adjustments and refresh equity grants for our executive officers in the first half of the fiscal year. This allows the LDCC to consider the prior year’s performance when making compensation decisions and enables total compensation decisions to be made for all executives at the same time. The LDCC may also revisit compensation throughout the year in light of increased duties, exemplary performance, promotions and other factors, and where warranted may implement changes, including providing increases in salary or additional equity awards, such as special one-time equity awards.
Roles and Responsibilities
| Management | Our CEO: ◼ reviews the amount and structure of pay components (salary and long-term equity incentives) for members of our management team other than himself; ◼ identifies key targets and objectives of our compensation structure; ◼ negotiates sign-on pay packages and offer letters for new members of our management team; ◼ considers market data presented by our compensation advisor and internal corporate data to determine executive officer pay recommendations for the LDCC; and ◼ evaluates the performance of our management team, including our NEOs, and reviews their performance with the LDCC when making recommendations to the LDCC. Our people, finance and legal teams: ◼ support the LDCC by providing data on market pay practices, internal labor force considerations, as well as internal employee sentiment and engagement; ◼ support the CEO with information on corporate and individual performance for NEOs and provides recommendations on other compensation matters; and ◼ present information and provide clarity on market data, but refrain from participating in discussions or final decisions on their own pay amount and structure. |
Competitive Market Data
Competitive Market Data The LDCC assesses the competitiveness of each element of the executive officers’ total direct compensation against our peer group as discussed below. This represents one of the many factors that the LDCC considers when it sets pay levels for our NEOs. In developing the compensation peer group, the LDCC considers a number of factors, including:
Competitive Market Data
| ◼ | scale and complexity (revenue and market capitalization that is generally between 1/3x to 3x our size); |
Competitive Market Data
| ◼ | competitors for executive talent; |
Competitive Market Data
| ◼ | geography (preference for companies with significant talent presence in the San Francisco Bay Area); and |
Competitive Market Data
| ◼ | company business characteristics (for example, headquarter location, comparably sized high-growth technology companies, consumer facing technology companies, marketplace platforms, global operations and high growth indicators). |

In this review the LDCC added three new companies to our 2026 compensation peer group (Coinbase Global, Snowflake and Robinhood) and removed three companies (MongoDB, Match Group and Dropbox) based on the criteria noted above. The changes were largely driven by the Company’s increased market capitalization over the course of 2025. |
Competitive Market Data
We do not establish compensation levels solely based on a review of competitive data, but we believe market data is a meaningful input to our compensation policies and practices. When making its compensation decisions, the LDCC also considers a number of other factors, including: Company performance, each executive’s impact and criticality to our strategy and mission, relative scope of responsibility and potential, individual performance and demonstrated leadership and internal pay equity considerations. In addition, as part of our executive compensation planning process, the LDCC reviewed aggregated survey data, drawn from the Radford Custom Compensation Survey, which provided additional context regarding executive compensation practices in the marketplace. We expect to review our peer group annually to reflect changes to our size and scale.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Long-Term Incentive Compensation We view long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards as a critical element of our executive compensation program. Equity is our primary vehicle for offering long-term incentives and differentiating compensation among our NEOs. In 2025, equity-based incentives for our NEOs consisted of RSUs and PSUs. We size our equity awards to be competitive, transparent and reflect the performance, contribution and criticality of roles to our Company. Our CEO annually reviews the performance of our other executives alongside external market data. Based on this review, he proposes equity awards to the LDCC for all NEOs other than himself. The LDCC exercises its independent judgment and discretion, in consultation with our CEO and FW Cook to determine the size and types of equity awards that it approves. The LDCC
Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Long-Term Incentive Compensation
considers, among other things, the role and responsibility of the NEO, competitive factors, the vested and unvested value of the equity awards held by the NEO and the NEO’s total target compensation.
Annual Awards
Annual Awards Mr. Baszucki received 75% of his 2025 annual equity award value in PSUs and 25% in time-based RSUs. Each of our other NEOs received approximately 35% of their 2025 annual equity award value in PSUs and approximately 65% of their equity award value in time-based RSUs. We believe that equity awards align the interests of our NEOs with our stockholders, provide our NEOs with incentives linked to long-term performance, and foster an ownership mentality. In addition, the long-term vesting period of our equity awards supports retention. In March 2025, the LDCC granted fiscal year 2025 annual equity awards in the form of PSUs and RSUs to the NEOs as shown below with vesting and other terms as described below.

Annual Awards
| (1) The grant date fair value of the PSU and RSU awards as stated in our Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025 differs from the intended grant value at target for the awards stated above because the number of shares granted under the awards were determined by dividing the intended value of the awards at target by the 20 trading day average closing price of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock on the NYSE as of February 28, 2025. |
Annual Awards
The 2025 PSUs are subject to both performance-based and service-based vesting. The scheduled performance period for the PSUs is January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026. Between 0% and 200% of the PSUs will become eligible to vest if and to the extent the pre-determined performance goals are satisfied, and then will vest if the applicable service-based vesting requirements are satisfied. 80% of the PSUs for each NEO become eligible to vest based on achievement of certain cumulative bookings targets and 20% of the PSUs for each NEO become eligible to vest based on achievement of certain cumulative Covenant Adjusted EBITDA margin targets as established by the LDCC. Cumulative Covenant Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing our Covenant Adjusted EBITDA by bookings for the performance period. The LDCC chose bookings and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA margin as the performance metrics for the PSUs because it believes that these are key drivers of our long-term strategic plan to grow the scale of our business and create near term margin expansion and are directly tied to value creation, whereas the grant date fair value of the PSU and RSU awards was determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date. After the end of the two-year performance period, the LDCC will certify achievement of the Company’s performance against the applicable cumulative bookings and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA margin targets and 67% of the PSUs that are eligible to vest will vest on the first trading day following the certification date, subject to continued service on such date. The remaining 33% of the PSUs that are eligible to vest will vest in four approximately equal quarterly installments thereafter on each of May 20, 2027, August 20, 2027, November 20, 2027 and February 20, 2028, subject to continued service on such date. Any PSUs that have not satisfied the performance metrics immediately following the certification date will be forfeited.
New Hire Award
New Hire Award In July 2025, the LDCC granted a new hire RSU award consisting of 356,460 RSUs to Mr. Chopra as part of his new hire compensation package with an intended grant value of $28,000,000. Mr. Chopra’s new hire award was established after considering various factors, including his extensive financial and strategic leadership experience across technology and entertainment companies as well as the competitive market for superior candidates with the skills necessary to operate in our fast-paced and operationally complex environment. The grant date fair value of Mr. Chopra's award as stated in our Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025 differs from the intended grant value because the number of shares granted was determined by dividing the intended value by the 20 trading day average closing price of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock on the NYSE as of May 30, 2025, whereas the grant date fair value of Mr. Chopra’s award was determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date. 4/36th of the RSUs vested on November 20, 2025 and approximately 1/12th of the RSUs vest over each of the 11 quarters thereafter, subject to Mr. Chopra’s continued service through each vesting date.
Special Awards
Special Awards In September 2025, the LDCC granted special one-time RSU awards to Messrs. Kaufman and Reinstra in addition to their 2025 annual equity awards in recognition of their exemplary performance and the ever-increasing criticality, scope and strategic impact of their respective roles. The one-time award to Mr. Kaufman consisted of 9,627 RSUs and had an intended grant value of $1,200,000. The one-time award to Mr. Reinstra consisted of 16,046 RSUs and had an intended grant value of $2,000,000. The grant date fair value of Messrs. Kaufman's and Reinstra's one-time RSU awards as stated in our Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025 differs from the intended grant value because the number of shares granted was determined by dividing the intended value of such awards by the 20 trading day average closing price of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock on the NYSE as of August 29, 2025. For both one-time RSU awards, 1/12th of the RSUs vested on November 20, 2025 and 1/12th of the RSUs vest quarterly thereafter, subject to the grantee’s continued service through each vesting date.
Completed PSU Performance Period
Completed PSU Performance Period In March 2024, the LDCC granted PSUs with a measurement period running from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025, with performance based 80% on cumulative bookings and 20% based on cumulative Covenant Adjusted EBITDA. The performance period applicable to the 2024 PSUs ended on December 31, 2025, and on February 9, 2026, the LDCC certified performance of cumulative bookings for the performance period of $11,157 million (against a target of $9,295 million) and cumulative Covenant Adjusted EBITDA for the performance period of $2,535 million (against a target of $1,303 million) resulting in a 200% target payout as follows:
Completed PSU Performance Period

Completed PSU Performance Period
| (1) Mr. Guthrie resigned from his employment effective June 30, 2025. Pursuant to Mr. Guthrie’s separation as described in “Executive Resignations” below, the amount in the "2024 Target PSUs" column reflects 1/3rd of his initial target grant amount and the amount in the “Number of 2024 PSUs Eligible to Vest” column represents the actual number of PSUs that vested following certification by the LDCC based on this prorated target amount. |
Completed PSU Performance Period
| (2) Mr. Bronstein resigned from his employment effective September 30, 2025, and provided advisory services to the Company through April 13, 2026. Pursuant to Mr. Bronstein's separation as described in “Executive Resignations” below and the terms of his equity awards, he remained eligible to vest into his outstanding equity awards through the end of his advisory period. |
Completed PSU Performance Period
| (3) Mr. Chakravarthy resigned from his employment effective March 6, 2026. All unvested equity awards were forfeited upon termination. |
Completed PSU Performance Period
Except as described in the table above, 67% of the 2024 PSUs that were eligible to vest vested on February 9, 2026 and the remaining 33% of the 2024 PSUs that are eligible to vest will vest in four approximately equal quarterly installments thereafter on each of May 20, 2026, August 20, 2026, November 20, 2026 and February 20, 2027, subject to the terms and conditions of the award agreement.
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the same benefits programs offered to all employees. In addition, our NEOs and other senior executives have entered into change in control and severance agreements with us. Because of the high visibility of the Company and specific threats to Mr. Baszucki’s safety arising from his position as our visionary, founder and CEO, we conducted an independent security assessment, which identified specific risks and threats. Based on the results of this assessment, the LDCC previously approved the implementation of a formal security program. We require these security measures for the Company’s benefit because of the importance of Mr. Baszucki to Roblox, and we believe that the scope and costs of this security program are reasonable, appropriate and necessary. The LDCC evaluates this security program at least annually, including a review of security professional assessments of safety threats and recommendations for the security program. Under Mr. Baszucki’s overall security program, we provide security for him and certain family members, including the costs of personal security at his residences and during business travel, the annual costs of security personnel and the procurement, installation and maintenance of certain security measures at his residences. In addition, Mr. Baszucki uses private aircraft for business travel in connection with his overall security program. On certain occasions, Mr. Baszucki may be accompanied by family members or guests when using private aircraft.
Deferred Compensation Plan
Deferred Compensation Plan We maintain our Deferred Compensation Plan for non-employee directors and, as determined by the LDCC in its discretion, members of a “select group of management or highly compensated employees”. Eligible non-employee director participants may elect annually to defer up to 100% of their cash director fees and their equity awards granted under the Company’s 2020 Plan. Eligible employee participants may elect to defer up to 90% of their base salary and up to 100% of their cash bonus compensation, and up to 65% of any RSUs or PSUs granted under the Company’s 2020 Plan. For further information on the Deferred Compensation Plan, please see “Board of Directors—Director Compensation—Deferred Compensation Plan” above.
Change in Control Severance Agreements
Change in Control Severance Agreements We have entered into a change in control severance agreement with each of our current NEOs, pursuant to which our NEOs are eligible to receive severance benefits, as specified in and subject to the terms of the change in control severance agreement. We believe that these protections serve our retention objectives by helping our NEOs maintain continued focus and dedication to their responsibilities, including in the event of a transaction that could result in a change in control of the Company. For more information, see the section titled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Practices with Regard to Timing of Equity Awards
Practices with Regard to Timing of Equity Awards Because we do not currently grant stock options covering our listed Class A common stock, and have not since our direct listing, we do not have a policy or practice regarding option grant timing. Our Board and the LDCC do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity grants. We do not have a policy or practice to time equity grants based on the release of material non-public information. We did not grant stock options to any of our NEOs in 2025 and have never granted stock appreciation rights.
Compensation Risk Assessment
A significant proportion of the compensation provided to most of our employees involves long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards that we believe are important to help further align our employees’ interests with those of our stockholders. These equity awards directly tie their expectations of compensation to their contributions to the long-term value of our Company. We do not believe that these equity awards encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking given their multi-year vesting schedules or performance periods and since their ultimate value is tied to our stock price. Our stock ownership guidelines also help ensure that executive officers have significant value tied to long-term stock price performance. Additional controls such as our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and related training help mitigate the risks of unethical behavior and inappropriate risk-taking.
Tax and Accounting Matters
Tax and Accounting Matters The LDCC takes the applicable tax and accounting requirements into consideration in designing and overseeing our executive compensation program. Generally, Section 162(m) of the Code limits the amount we may deduct from our federal income taxes for compensation paid to our CEO and Chief Financial Officer and certain other current executive officers that are “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code to $1 million per individual per year, subject to certain exceptions. In approving the amount and form of compensation for our NEOs in the future, the LDCC generally considers all elements of the cost to us of providing such compensation, including the potential impact of Section 162(m) of the Code, as well as our need to maintain flexibility in compensating executive officers in a manner designed to promote our goals. The LDCC may authorize compensation payments that will or may not be deductible when we believe that such payments are appropriate to attract, retain or motivate executive talent. We do not provide, and have no obligation to provide, any executive officer, including any NEO, with a “gross-up” or other reimbursement payment for any tax liability that he or she might owe as a result of the application of Section 280G, 4999, or 409A of the Code. If any of the payments or benefits provided for under the change of control and severance agreements or otherwise payable to a NEO would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and could be subject to the related excise tax, he or she would be entitled to receive either full payment of such payments and benefits or such lesser amount that would result in no portion of the payments and benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of after-tax benefits to the NEO.
Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025
Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025 The following table sets forth the compensation reportable for our NEOs for the years shown as determined under SEC rules.

Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025
| (1) The amounts reported in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs and PSUs awarded to the NEOs in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025 as applicable, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. In the case of RSUs, the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards granted is determined by multiplying the number of units granted by the NYSE closing price of our Class A common stock on the grant date. As permitted by FASB ASC Topic 718, this amount does not take into account any estimated forfeitures related to service-vesting conditions. For each PSU granted in 2023, 2024 and 2025, in accordance with SEC rules, the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards is calculated based on the most probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date, which was target performance. The grant date fair value is calculated by multiplying the target number of units granted by the NYSE closing price of our Class A common stock on the grant date. If the most probable outcome of the performance conditions on the grant date had been maximum performance, then the grant date fair value of the 2023 PSUs would have been as follows: Michael Guthrie and Manuel Bronstein ($5,861,391) and Mark Reinstra ($4,057,886), and 2024 PSUs would have been as follows: David Baszucki ($63,273,595), Michael Guthrie and Manuel Bronstein ($7,256,784), Mark Reinstra ($4,880,305) and Arvind Chakravarthy ($4,742,544), and 2025 PSUs would have been as follows: David Baszucki ($34,003,801), Michael Guthrie and Manuel Bronstein ($7,447,765), Mark Reinstra ($5,025,929), Arvind Chakravarthy ($4,885,634) and Matt Kaufman ($4,159,346). The valuation assumptions used in determining the grant date fair value of the RSUs and PSUs are further described in Note 1 and Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 11, 2026. The amounts reflect the accounting charge for the RSUs and PSUs and do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by the NEOs upon vesting or settlement of the RSUs and PSUs. For Mr. Guthrie, the amount in this column for 2025 also includes an aggregate of $5,972,953 in incremental stock-based compensation expense the Company recognized in connection with the acceleration of his 2023 PSU and 2024 PSU awards, as further described in “Executive Resignations” below. Such amount reflects the calculation of the value of the modification of Mr. Guthrie’s awards, in accordance with ASC 718, and does not necessarily correspond to the actual value that may ultimately be realized by Mr. Guthrie. The intended value of Mr. Baszucki’s RSU and PSU awards in 2024 was $25 million. However, the grant date fair value of Mr. Baszucki’s awards as stated in our Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2024 is $0 because the grants were deemed a modification of his Original Founder Long-Term Performance Award for accounting purposes and under FASB ASC Topic 718, as of March 1, 2024, we were not required to record any incremental fair value in connection with the modification. |

On occasion, guests of Mr. Baszucki accompanied him, at no incremental cost to the Company, on corporate aircraft used for business purposes. |

Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2025
| (1) Amounts in the “Estimated Possible Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards” relate to potential payouts under the PSU awards granted in fiscal year 2025. The number of shares in the “Threshold”, “Target” and “Maximum” columns represent the number of PSUs that would be eligible to vest upon achievement against predetermined threshold, target and maximum bookings and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA margin metrics. Linear interpolation determines the percentage of PSUs that would be eligible to vest upon achievement between the threshold and target and the target and maximum achievement points. It is possible that the NEOs will realize zero compensation from these awards if the performance metrics are not met during the performance period. |
Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2025
| (2) The amounts reported in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs and PSUs granted to the NEO in fiscal year 2025. The grant date fair value of the RSUs is determined by multiplying the number of units granted by the NYSE closing price of our Class A common stock on the grant date, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and the grant date value of the PSUs is determined based on the most probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date, which was target performance, in accordance with SEC rules. Such aggregate grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures related to service-vesting conditions. The valuation assumptions used in determining such amounts are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 11, 2026. For Mr. Guthrie, the award shown as granted on June 30, 2025 represents an aggregate of $5,972,953 in |

CEO Pay Ratio
CEO Pay Ratio Under SEC rules, we are required to provide information regarding the relationship between the annual total compensation of our CEO and the annual total compensation of our median employee (excluding our CEO) for our last completed fiscal year, which ended December 31, 2025: As set forth in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025, Mr. Baszucki’s annual total compensation for fiscal year 2025 was $24,565,995. Our median employee’s annual total compensation was $394,921, resulting in a CEO pay ratio of approximately 62.2:1. In calculating the CEO pay ratio, the SEC rules allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions reflecting their unique employee populations. Therefore, our reported CEO pay ratio may not be comparable to CEO pay ratios reported by other companies due to differences in industries and geographical dispersion, as well as the different estimates, assumptions and methodologies applied by other companies in calculating their CEO pay ratios. The pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described herein. We identified our employee population as of December 31, 2025, which is a date within the last three months of our last completed fiscal year, including our consolidated subsidiaries. After we identified our employee population, we collected and calculated salary information for the employee population for the twelve months trailing December 31, 2025 as our “consistently applied compensation measure”. We annualized the salaries of the employees that were not employed by the Company for the full twelve months. Finally, we identified the median compensated employee and calculated her or his total compensation consistent with the compensation for our CEO in accordance with SEC rules and as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025. We did not exclude any non-U.S. employees in calculating our pay ratio or any employees that became our employees as a result of a business combination or acquisition in 2025. Compensation paid in foreign currency was converted to U.S. dollars using average foreign exchange rates for the three months ending December 31, 2025. In determining the median total compensation of all employees, we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments to the compensation paid to any employee outside of the U.S.
