Director Compensation Table
The Audit Committee is a committee of the Board comprised solely of independent directors as required by NASDAQ listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board, which is available on our website at http://ir.appfolioinc.com. The Audit Committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter and the Audit Committee’s performance on an annual basis. With respect to our financial reporting process, our management is responsible for (i) establishing and maintaining internal controls and (ii) preparing our consolidated financial statements and a report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm, PwC, is responsible for auditing these financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to oversee these activities. It is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to prepare our financial statements; this is the fundamental responsibility of management. In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has: ▪Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements and management's and PwC's evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting with management and PwC; ▪Discussed with PwC the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC; and ▪Received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB, including Rule 3526 "Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence," regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with PwC its independence. The Audit Committee discussed the auditors' review of our quarterly financial information with the auditors prior to the release of such information and the filing of our quarterly reports with the SEC. The Audit Committee also met and held discussions with management and PwC with respect to our audited year-end financial statements. Based on the Audit Committee’s review and discussions with management and PwC, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the 2024 Annual Report. Respectfully submitted by the members of the Audit Committee of the Board:
Corporate Bonus Plan
Corporate Bonus Plan Our executives participate in the Corporate Bonus Plan, which offers an annual at-risk cash bonus opportunity based on the company's achievement of pre-established performance metrics. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe the annual performance metrics align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders by tying bonus payout to Company performance against key metrics related to our strategic objectives. The Committee further believes the plan reinforces a strong pay-for-performance culture by directly linking compensation outcomes to measurable results, ensuring that incentives reflect both individual and company success. In designing the Corporate Bonus Plan for recommendation for Board approval, the Compensation Committee considers the following: •Company performance objectives based on Board-approved annual targets, aligned with our long-term strategic objectives focused on sustainable growth. •The use of threshold, target, and maximum bonus payout levels to strike the right balance between compensation incentives and risk tolerance. With respect to fiscal year 2024, the Compensation Committee or Board, as appropriate, established target cash bonus amounts under the Corporate Bonus Plan for each NEO, as set forth in the table below. Such targets were determined based on a number of items, including the executive’s responsibilities, base salary, our projected financial performance, and a review of compensation data in our industry.

2024 Performance Metrics and Payout Curves
2024 Performance Metrics and Payout Curves Under the Company's incentive compensation framework, both the cash bonuses earned under the Corporate Bonus Plan and the shares of Class A Common Stock earned under the Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan are based entirely on the Company's performance relative to pre-established performance metrics. In 2024, the Compensation Committee and the Board selected the following performance metrics (the "2024 Performance Metrics"): •Residential property manager units added to our platform in 2024 via a new contract or contract addendum, net of cancellations ("Booked Residential Units"); •2024 annual GAAP consolidated revenue ("Revenue"); and •Adjusted GAAP operating margin, defined as GAAP operating margin less non-recurring transactions such as lease remeasurements or impairments and executive departures ("Adjusted GAAP Operating Margin"). The 2024 Performance Metrics are weighted as follows: •40% Booked Residential Units •30% Revenue •30% Adjusted GAAP Operating Margin The Compensation Committee and the Board selected these performance measures to drive sustained revenue growth and business expansion, while maintaining a strong emphasis on cost discipline and core operational performance. The threshold, target, and maximum levels for the 2024 Performance Metrics are outlined in the table below. In alignment with the 2024 Performance Metrics and the following payout curves, and after a review of applicable financial results, our Compensation Committee approved the following achievements:

2024 Corporate Bonus Plan Payouts

One-Time Bonus Payouts - Shane Trigg
One-Time Bonus Payouts - Shane Trigg In 2023, Mr. Trigg received a one-time sign-on bonus equal to $300,000 in connection with his appointment as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. At the time of the award, the sign-on was subject to clawback in the event that Mr. Trigg's employment was terminated by the Company for cause or by Mr. Trigg for any reason (other than due to death, disability, or a resignation for good reason). The terms of the clawback were fulfilled by Mr. Trigg's continued employment through March 1, 2024. As such, the value of the award has been realized and is reflected in the "Summary Compensation Table." In 2024, Mr. Trigg received a one-time bonus equal to $480,000 in recognition of his strong performance as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. This bonus reflects the immediate impact of his leadership, as demonstrated by significant progress on key strategic initiatives, measurable improvements in Company performance, and enhanced alignment with organizational goals.
Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan
Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan In 2024, we maintained the 2015 Plan, which provided for the issuance of various types of equity awards including time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based stock units ("PSUs"), which may be settled for shares of our Class A Common Stock or cash. We believe that the issuance of RSUs and PSUs effectively aligns the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders by incentivizing the creation of long-term, sustainable Company value. In addition, RSUs and PSUs hold value for recipients even in the absence of stock price appreciation, providing retention and motivation during periods of market volatility. This approach also allows us to grant fewer shares of common stock compared to stock options with an equivalent grant date fair value, maximizing the efficiency of our equity compensation program and minimizing shareholder dilution. When determining equity compensation, the Compensation Committee selected a 60/40 mix between PSUs and RSUs to balance the company's focus on performance and executive retention. The 60% weighting of PSUs reflects the company's commitment to a pay-for-performance philosophy, ensuring that a significant portion of equity compensation is directly tied to the achievement of key financial and strategic objectives. This design aligns executive compensation with stockholder interests and company performance. The remaining 40% allocated to RSUs serves as a retention tool, promoting leadership stability and encouraging sustained long-term value creation for stockholders. The table below summarizes the total combined fair market value of long-term equity awards granted in 2024, along with the total number of shares awarded. Detailed breakdowns of the performance-based and time-based awards are presented in the tables that follow.

The 2015 Plan Pursuant to the 2015 Plan, the form of award agreement that applies to all outstanding time-based restricted stock unit awards thereunder, and the form of award agreement that applies to all outstanding PSU Awards thereunder, if a participant’s employment is terminated for any reason, the participant will forfeit all unvested time-based restricted stock units and all unvested PSU Awards, unless, in each case, otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to the 2015 Plan and the form of award agreement that applies to all outstanding stock options thereunder, if a participant’s employment is terminated for any reason, the participant’s stock option privileges will be limited to the options then exercisable on the date of termination and expire unless exercised within a certain period of time ranging from the date of termination to 12 months after such date, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. In the case of a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the 2015 Plan), any or all outstanding awards may be assumed or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption or replacement will be binding on all participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent awards or provide substantially similar consideration to participants as was provided to stockholders (after taking into account the existing provisions of the awards). The successor corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock held by the participant, substantially similar shares or other property subject to repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the participant. In the event such successor or acquiring corporation (if any) refuses to assume, convert, replace or substitute awards pursuant to a Corporate Transaction, then such awards will have their vesting accelerate as to all shares subject to such award immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction.

CEO Pay Ratio
CEO Pay Ratio Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K requires the Company to disclose the following information for fiscal year 2024: •The fiscal year 2024 total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer was $5,018,965. •The fiscal year 2024 total compensation of our median employee was $200,472. •The ratio of the fiscal year 2024 total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer’s to the fiscal year 2024 total compensation of our median employee was approximately 25:1. As permitted by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we used the same median employee for fiscal year 2024 as we used for fiscal year 2023, as there was no change during fiscal year 2024 to our median employee's circumstances, our employee population, or our employee compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly impact the pay ratio disclosure. When determining the median employee in 2023, we applied the following methodology: •Identified the median employee based on the measurement date of December 31, 2023, as disclosed in our 2023 proxy statement. •Determined our median employee based on the total compensation (including, as applicable, annualized base salary, equity-based compensation reflecting grant date fair value, and cash incentive compensation paid) of our entire employee population, excluding our CEO for the 12 months ending December 31, 2023. •Calculated the total compensation of our employees based on information derived from our payroll and stock administration systems. For purposes of the 2024 CEO Pay Ratio, we recalculated the total compensation as described above for the median employee as of December 31, 2024. With respect to the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, we used the amount for fiscal year 2024 reported in the "Total" column of the "Summary Compensation Table." The annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and median employee do not necessarily reflect the actual value received or to be received by such individuals. See the footnotes to the "Summary Compensation Table" for more detail on how such figures are computed. The SEC’s rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. This information is being provided for compliance purposes. Neither the Compensation Committee nor management of the Company used the pay ratio measure in making compensation decisions.
