Proposal 1 Election of Directors Our Board currently consists of nine members and is divided into three classes. Each class consists of one-third of the total number of directors on the Board, and each class has a three-year term. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms expire at such meeting will be elected to serve from the time of election until the third annual meeting following the election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal. Our directors are divided into the three classes as follows:
Proposal 1 Election of Directors
| + | the Class I directors are Erin M. Chapple, Brian Feinstein, and Kevin J. O’Connor, whose terms will expire at the Annual Meeting; |
Proposal 1 Election of Directors
| + | the Class II directors are Craig F. Courtemanche, Jr., Kathryn A. Bueker, and Nanci E. Caldwell, whose terms will expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting; and |

Proposal 1 Election of Directors
Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. Vacancies on the Board may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy in a class, including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors, shall serve for the remainder of the full term of that class and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, or removal. Each of Erin M. Chapple, Brian Feinstein, and Kevin J. O’Connor is currently a member of our Board, and, at the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has been nominated for reelection to serve as a Class I director. Each of these nominees has agreed to stand for reelection at the Annual Meeting. Our management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. If elected at the Annual Meeting, each of these nominees would serve until the 2028 Annual Meeting and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal.

Executive Summary
| + | Our executive bonuses are dependent on meeting corporate objectives. Our annual performance-based bonus opportunities for all of our named executive officers are “at-risk” and dependent upon our achievement of corporate objectives established early each year. |
Executive Summary
| + | We emphasize long-term equity incentives. Equity awards are an integral part of our executive compensation program, and comprise the primary portion of our named executive officers’ target total direct compensation. These awards, which generally vest over multiple years, strongly align our executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders by providing a continuing financial incentive to maximize long-term value for our stockholders and by encouraging our executive officers to remain employed with us over the long term. |
Executive Summary
| + | Our Compensation Committee has retained an independent third-party compensation consultant for guidance in making compensation decisions. The compensation consultant advises our Compensation Committee on market practices, including identifying a peer group of companies and their compensation practices, so that our Compensation Committee can regularly assess the Company’s individual and total compensation programs against these peer companies, the general competitive marketplace, and other industry data points. |
Executive Summary
| + | We balance short-term and long-term equity incentives. The equity awards that we grant to executives typically vest quarterly over four years, with a one-year cliff for new hires. |
Executive Summary
| + | We introduced performance-based equity incentives for our CEO. Beginning in 2024, we awarded performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to our CEO, with PSUs representing 25% of his total annual equity award. In 2025, we increased the percentage mix of PSUs in our CEO’s annual equity award from 25% to 50% (50% PSUs and 50% RSUs). |
Executive Summary
| + | We do not provide our executive officers with tax gross-up payments on any severance, change in control, or other payments related to a termination of employment or change in control. |
Executive Summary

Objectives, Philosophy and Elements of Executive Compensation
Our executive compensation program generally consists of, and is intended to strike a balance among, the following three principal elements: base salary, annual performance-based cash bonuses, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards. We also provide our executive officers with benefits available to all our employees, including retirement benefits under the Company’s 401(k) retirement savings plan and participation in employee health benefit plans. The following chart summarizes the three main elements of our executive compensation program and their objectives and key features.
Objectives, Philosophy and Elements of Executive Compensation
We focus on providing a competitive compensation package to our executive officers that provides significant short- and long-term incentives for the achievement of measurable corporate objectives. We believe this approach provides an appropriate blend of short- and long-term incentives to maximize stockholder value.
Objectives, Philosophy and Elements of Executive Compensation
We do not have any formal policies for allocating compensation among base salary, annual performance-based cash bonuses, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards, short-term and long-term compensation, or cash and non-cash compensation. Instead, our Compensation Committee exercises its judgment to establish a total compensation package for each named executive officer that is a mix of current, short-term, and long-term incentive compensation that it believes appropriate to achieve the goals of our executive compensation program and our corporate objectives. Historically, we have structured a significant portion of our named executive officers’ target total direct compensation so that it consists of annual performance-based cash bonus opportunities and long-term equity awards in order to align our named executive officers’ incentives with the interests of our stockholders and our corporate goals. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the charts below illustrate our strong emphasis on at-risk, performance-based or variable compensation. Specifically, a significant portion of both our CEO’s and other named executive officers’ target total direct compensation was linked to performance and long-term equity awards.
How We Determine Executive Compensation
Committee considers input from its independent compensation consultant on compensation matters for our executive officers, including our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee also discusses and considers input from the independent members of our Board of Directors on compensation matters for the CEO. Our Compensation Committee meets periodically throughout the year to manage and evaluate our executive compensation program, and generally determines the principal elements of compensation (base salary, performance-based cash bonuses, and long-term equity awards) for our executive officers on an annual basis; however, decisions may occur at other times for new hires, promotions, or other special circumstances as our Compensation Committee determines to be appropriate. Our Compensation Committee does not maintain a formal policy regarding the timing of the grant of equity awards to our executive officers. Our Compensation Committee does not delegate authority to approve executive officer compensation. From time to time, various other members of management and other employees, as well as outside advisors or consultants, may be invited by our Compensation Committee to make presentations, provide financial or other background information or advice, or otherwise participate in our Compensation Committee meetings. Role of Compensation Consultant Under its charter, our Compensation Committee has the right to retain and obtain the advice of compensation consultants, outside legal counsel, and other advisers. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, our Compensation Committee retained Compensia to provide it with competitive market information, analysis, guidance on the compensation of executive hires, and other advice relating to executive compensation on an ongoing basis. Compensia was engaged directly by our Compensation Committee to, among other things, assist in developing an appropriate group of peer companies to help us assess and determine the appropriate level of overall compensation for our executive officers and non-employee directors as well as to assess each separate element of executive officer and non-employee director compensation, with a goal of ensuring that the compensation we offer to our executive officers and non-employee directors is competitive, fair, and appropriately structured. Compensia does not provide any non-compensation-related services to us. Our Compensation Committee has analyzed whether the work of Compensia as compensation consultant raises any conflicts of interest, taking into account the relevant factors in accordance with SEC guidelines and NYSE listing standards. Based on its analysis, our Compensation Committee has determined that the work of Compensia and the individual compensation advisors employed by Compensia does not create any conflicts of interest pursuant to SEC rules or NYSE listing standards. Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data Our Compensation Committee believes that it is important to be informed of competitive market data on executive compensation levels and practices as part of its compensation deliberations for our executive officers, including our named executive officers. In August 2023, our Compensation Committee, in consultation with Compensia, developed and approved an updated peer group that would be used for 2024 compensation decisions. As part of the peer selection process, our Compensation Committee primarily considered publicly traded cloud-based software and other software companies headquartered in the U.S. that had revenue over the preceding four quarters ended June 2023, between 0.4x and 2.5x our revenue for such period and had a 30-day average market capitalization between 0.33x and 3.0x our market capitalization. In addition, our Compensation Committee focused on companies meeting the foregoing profile that also had strong year-over-year revenue growth (generally 15% or higher) and a high market capitalization to revenue multiple (generally 5x or more). Based on this review, our Compensation Committee removed Avalara and Coupa Software from the peer group because they had been acquired. Our Compensation Committee elected to add Bentley Systems and BlackLine to the peer group as they were an appropriate fit in relation to our Compensation Committee’s peer selection criteria. As a result of these changes, our peer group remained at 20 companies.

2024 Executive Compensation Program
Annual Performance-Based Cash Bonus The Company maintains a performance-based cash bonus program for its executive officers, including its named executive officers. The executive bonus program is structured to reward the Company’s executive officers based on Company performance. Annual bonuses are paid in the following year if and to the extent performance objectives established by our Compensation Committee early in the applicable year are achieved. Our Compensation Committee believes that the payment of an annual bonus provides the incentive necessary to retain executive officers and reward them for short-term Company performance. For 2024, our Compensation Committee assigned each executive officer, including each named executive officer, a target performance-based cash bonus opportunity that was based on a percentage of each executive officer’s base salary. The target performance-based cash bonus opportunity for each of our named executive officers was determined based on market data, internal equity, and our desired pay mix for each named executive officer. Mr. Singer’s bonus target was adjusted from 65% to 75% based on the above criteria and his performance.
2024 Executive Compensation Program
| Named Executive Officer | 2023 Target Bonus Percentage (%) | 2024 Target Bonus Percentage (%) | | Craig F. Courtemanche, Jr. | 100 | 100 | | Howard Fu | 75 | 75 | | Benjamin C. Singer | 65 | 75 | | Lawrence J. Stack(1) | N/A | 100 | | Steven S. Davis | 75 | 75 |
2024 Executive Compensation Program
In March 2024, our Compensation Committee approved the executive bonus program for fiscal year 2024 (the “2024 Bonus Program”). The payouts under the 2024 Bonus Program were based 75% on the achievement of a net new bookings goal and 25% on the achievement of a non-GAAP operating margin goal. Our Compensation Committee sought to set rigorous and ambitious performance goals that had to be met in order for awards under the 2024 Bonus Program to be paid out at target for each metric. In addition, the 2024 Bonus Program contained a threshold for each metric, below which no payout would be made with respect to such metric. The payout for the net new bookings goal ranged from 0% to 200%, and was subject to a payout threshold requiring attainment of at
2024 Executive Compensation Program
least 85% of target (the “NNB Threshold”). The payout for the non-GAAP operating margin goal ranged from 0% to 150% and was subject to a payout threshold requiring attainment of at least 73.8% of target. For each metric, a 100% payout represented on-target performance. Based on our performance in fiscal year 2024, the NNB Threshold was not met. As a result, the final payout multiplier for the 2024 Bonus Program was 19%, reflecting our below-target performance in fiscal year 2024. To be eligible to earn a payment under the 2024 Bonus Program, a participant must have remained continually employed by the Company through the bonus payment date.

2024 Executive Compensation Program
Equity Awards We view equity awards as a critical element of our executive compensation program that encourage long-term performance, promote accountability, and ensure that the interests of our executive officers are aligned with the interests of our stockholders by linking a significant portion of their overall compensation directly to increases in stockholder value. Equity awards also help us retain our executive officers in a highly competitive market. In 2024, we granted equity compensation to our executive officers, including our named executive officers, in the form of RSU awards and, for our CEO, PSU awards, in each case, that may be settled for shares of our common stock. The annual equity awards to our executive officers, including our named executive officers, are evaluated and approved by our Compensation Committee in the context of each executive officer’s total compensation and take into account the analysis of competitive market data prepared by Compensia, the individual officer’s responsibilities and performance, the Company’s equity burn rate, the potential dilutive effect of the equity awards on our stockholders, and certain of the factors listed under the section titled “Factors Used in Determining Executive Compensation” on page 40 of this Proxy Statement. Our Compensation Committee also takes into account the recommendations of the CEO on the compensation of other executive officers with respect to appropriate equity awards and any particular individual circumstances. In March 2024, our Compensation Committee made the following annual grants of RSU and PSU awards to our CEO, and RSU awards to our other named executive officers:

| (2) The number of RSUs granted was calculated using the target equity value divided by an amount equal to the unweighted average closing price of our common stock on the NYSE over the 15-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date of determination. |

| (3) The number of PSUs granted for each of the two goals was calculated using the target equity value for each goal divided by an amount equal to the unweighted average closing price of our common stock on the NYSE over the 15-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date of determination. |
2024 Executive Compensation Program
The target value of the equity awards for each of the named executive officers listed above was determined based on the market data for each named executive officer’s role as well as each officer’s unvested equity and performance. With respect to the RSU awards, 1/16th of the shares underlying the RSU awards vest on each quarterly Company Vesting Date beginning with the first Company Vesting Date following the vesting commencement date of February 20, 2024, subject to such named executive officer’s continuous service through each such vesting date. In 2024, our Compensation Committee introduced performance-based equity incentives as a component of our CEO’s annual equity award. The 2024 equity award to our CEO was composed of 75% RSUs and 25% PSUs. 75% of the PSUs were eligible to vest based on the attainment of a revenue goal and 25% of the PSUs were eligible to vest based on the attainment of a non-GAAP operating margin goal, each of which was set in early 2024. Our Compensation Committee sought to set rigorous and ambitious performance goals that had to be met in order for the PSUs to be eligible to vest at target for each metric. In addition, the PSUs tied to each metric contained a threshold, below which no PSUs would become eligible to vest with respect to such metric. The number of PSUs eligible to vest based on attainment of the revenue goal ranged from 0% to 200% of target, and was subject to a threshold requiring attainment of at least 98.5% of target (the “Revenue Threshold”). The number of PSUs eligible to vest based on attainment of the non-GAAP operating margin goal ranged from 0% to 150% of target, and was subject to a threshold requiring attainment of at least 73.8% of target. For each metric, a 100% payout represented on-target performance. The actual number of PSUs that became eligible to vest was determined based on the attainment level of the applicable performance goal, as certified by our Compensation Committee. In February 2025, our Compensation Committee certified attainment of the non-GAAP operating margin goal, and determined that the Revenue Threshold had not been attained. As a result, the final percentage of PSUs eligible to vest was 19%, reflecting our below-target performance in fiscal year 2024. One-third of the shares underlying the PSUs that became eligible to vest based on performance attainment during fiscal year 2024 vested on February 20, 2025. The remaining shares underlying the PSUs that became eligible to vest will vest in substantially equal quarterly installments over the two years following February 20, 2025, subject to our CEO’s continuous service through each such vesting date. For information about the treatment of the PSUs in the event of death or permanent disability, please refer to the section titled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Death and Disability Benefit” on page 56 of this Proxy Statement.
2025 CEO Equity Award
2025 CEO Equity Award In 2025, our Compensation Committee continued to use performance-based equity incentives as a component of our CEO’s annual equity award. To further align our CEO’s compensation with Company performance, the Compensation Committee increased the percentage of the CEO’s equity award that was granted in PSUs from 25% to 50%, such that our CEO’s fiscal year 2025 equity award is composed of 50% RSUs and 50% PSUs. The overall design of the PSUs granted to our CEO in 2025 is substantially similar to that of the PSUs granted to our CEO in 2024. For information about the treatment of the PSUs in the event of death or permanent disability, please refer to the section titled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Death and Disability Benefit” on page 56 of this Proxy Statement.

Fiscal Year 2024 Option Exercises and Stock Vested
| (1) The value realized upon vesting was calculated by multiplying the number of shares of common stock vested by the closing price of our common stock on the date prior to the applicable vesting date, and does not reflect actual proceeds received by our named executive officers. |
Pension Benefits
Pension Benefits None of our named executive officers participate in or have account balances in qualified or nonqualified defined benefit plans sponsored by us. Our Compensation Committee may elect to adopt qualified or nonqualified defined benefit plans in the future if it determines that doing so is in our best interests.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation During fiscal year 2024, our U.S. employees, including our named executive officers, did not contribute to, or earn any amounts with respect to, any defined contribution or other plan sponsored by us that provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified.

Pay Ratio
Pay Ratio Under Dodd-Frank and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to disclose the median of the annual total compensation of our employees, the annual total compensation of our PEO (our CEO, Mr. Courtemanche), and the ratio of these two amounts. We estimate that the median of the 2024 annual total compensation for all employees of the Company as of December 31, 2024 (the “Determination Date”), excluding our CEO, was $146,152, as calculated pursuant to relevant SEC rules (the “Median Annual Compensation”). The total compensation of our CEO in 2024 was $16,122,797, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 48 of this Proxy Statement. The ratio of our CEO’s 2024 total compensation to the Median Annual Compensation was approximately 110 to 1. We believe that this pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with relevant SEC rules. As noted above, we selected December 31, 2024, as the date upon which we would identify the “median employee.” We included all of our full-time and part-time employees globally, but excluded our CEO and approximately 34 employees who joined Procore as part of our acquisition of Intelliwave Technologies Inc. during 2024. Our analysis included approximately 4,100 full-time and part-time employees, including hourly employees. The consistently applied compensation measure that we used to identify the median employee was the sum of:
Pay Ratio
| + | the 2024 base salary in effect on the Determination Date (prorated for the portion of the year worked, in the case of employees who commenced employment in 2024), without any cost of living adjustments with respect to employees outside the U.S.; |
Pay Ratio
| + | the 2024 target annual bonus or commission target as in effect on the Determination Date (prorated for the portion of the year worked or eligible for the bonus plan, in the case of employees who commenced employment or first became eligible for a bonus in 2024); and |
Pay Ratio
| + | the grant date fair value of equity awards granted during 2024, calculated in accordance with ASC 718. |
Pay Ratio
Earnings of our employees outside of the U.S. were converted to U.S. dollars using the foreign exchange rates that were in place at the end of fiscal year 2024. We believe that this measure reasonably reflects the annual compensation of our employees. Once we identified the median employee, we totaled all of the elements of the employee’s compensation for 2024 in accordance with the requirements of applicable SEC rules and calculated the pay ratio. The rules for identifying the median of the annual total compensation of our employees and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt various methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be directly comparable to our pay ratio.
