Executive Summary
The Compensation Committee has authority to make compensation decisions regarding the total compensation payable to the Chief Executive Officer and the equity-based compensation payable to the other NEOs. The Chief Executive Officer has authority to make compensation decisions regarding the cash-based elements of compensation payable to the other NEOs. The compensation decisions described throughout this CD&A are made by the Compensation Committee and Chief Executive Officer accordingly. Our Compensation Committee and Chief Executive Officer closely consider our compensation philosophy and objectives as well as individual and corporate performance when making executive compensation decisions. Our executive compensation program generally consists of, and is intended to strike a balance among, the following three principal components: annual base salary, short-term incentive compensation in the form of cash or equity awards, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards. We do not have any formal policies for allocating compensation among these three components. Instead, we intend to establish a total compensation program that is an appropriate mix of short- and long-term incentives to motivate each executive to contribute to the achievement of our corporate objectives. Executive compensation is structured to be heavily weighted towards long-term equity incentives that correlate with the growth of sustainable long-term value for our stockholders, and align the NEOs’ incentives with the interests of our stockholders. In evaluating our executive compensation policies and programs, as well as the short-term and long-term value of our executive compensation programs, we consider both the individual performance and skills of each of our executive officers, including our NEOs, as well as the compensation paid to executive officers with similar responsibilities at our peer group companies. We focus on providing a competitive compensation package which provides short-term incentives for the achievement of measurable individual objectives and long-term incentives that align with stockholders’ interests. We believe this approach provides an appropriate balance of short-term and long-term incentives to maximize stockholder value.
Role of our Independent Compensation Consultant
Role of our Independent Compensation Consultant The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain compensation consultants to assist in its evaluation of executive compensation, including the authority to approve the consultant’s fees and other retention terms. For purposes of evaluating our compensation programs and making compensation decisions, the Committee retained Aon to assist in reviewing Doximity’s compensation programs and to ensure that its compensation programs remain competitive in attracting and retaining talented executives. In preparation for making compensation decisions, Aon assisted the Compensation Committee in developing a group of peer companies to use as a reference, evaluating current pay practices and considering different compensation programs and best practices, and assisted with reviewing and drafting the CD&A. As described further below, Aon also prepared an analysis of Doximity’s compensation practices with respect to base salaries, short-term incentives and long-term equity incentive grants against market practices to assist in making compensation decisions. Aon reported directly to the Compensation Committee, which maintained the authority to direct their work and engagement, and advised the Compensation Committee from time to time during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Aon interacted with management to gain access to company information that is required to perform services and to understand the culture and policies of Doximity. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Aon, as required under the NYSE listing rules. The Compensation Committee has also considered and assessed all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Rule 10C-1(b)(4)(i) through (vi) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that could give rise to a potential conflict of interest. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee has determined that Aon is independent and that their work has not raised any conflicts of interest.
Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data
Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data Doximity aims to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers in an extremely competitive market. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee believes that it is important when making its compensation decisions to be informed as to the current practices of comparable public companies. To this end, the Compensation Committee reviews market data for each executive officer’s position, compiled by Aon, as described below. In developing a group of peer companies to be used in connection with making compensation decisions, Aon recommended and the Compensation Committee previously selected companies that would be appropriate peers based on economic sector, revenue, geographic region, and market capitalization. The Compensation Committee reviews and updates the peer group and the selection criteria periodically to ensure that the peer group companies satisfy our selection criteria and that such criteria remain appropriate for our size and complexity. As a result of the review of the 2023 peer group, updates were made to establish the peer group for fiscal year 2024 compensation decisions. Specifically, our peer group companies used for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 were selected in October 2022, with the following parameters: •Sector: approximately 80% of peers in the application software industry and approximately 20% of peers in the healthcare technology industry with a focus on high-growth companies where possible; •Revenue: $150 Million to $1 Billion (increased from $500 Million due to Company growth); •Market Capitalization: $2 Billion to $18 Billion (increased from a range of $1.5 Billion to $15 Billion); preference for an initial public offering within the last 5 years. •Headcount: 300 to 3,000 employees Based on these criteria, Aon recommended and our Compensation Committee approved the following twenty-one member peer group for fiscal year 2024 compensation decisions:
Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data
| Alteryx, Inc. | Dynatrace, Inc. | | American Well Corporation | Elastic N.V. | | AppFolio, Inc. | GoodRx, Inc. | | Asana, Inc. | Guardant Health, Inc. | | Avalara, Inc. | nCino, Inc. | | Bill.com, LLC | PagerDuty, Inc. | | C3.ai, Inc. | Phreesia, Inc. | | Certara, Inc. | Procore Technologies, Inc. | | Confluent, Inc. | Samsara Inc. | | Coupa Software Inc. | Smartsheet Inc. | | Duck Creek Technologies LLC | |
Use of Competitive Market Compensation Data
Based on the changes to the peer group selection criteria, in October 2022. we added eight companies — Certara, Inc., Confluent, Inc., Coupa Software Inc., Dynatrace, Inc., Elastic N.V., Guardant Health Inc., Procore Technologies, Inc. and Samsara, Inc. — to the peer group and removed five companies — Accolade, Inc., Health Catalyst, Inc., Lemonade Insurance Company, SurveyMonkey Inc, and Sumo Logic Inc. — from the peer group. In addition, Medalia, Inc. and Anaplan, Inc. were removed from the peer group because they were acquired. In January 2023, Aon prepared a range of market data reference points based on this peer group. This market data was reviewed, with the assistance of Aon, and used as a reference point in setting the total compensation payable to our NEOs for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Competitive market positioning is only one of several factors, as described above under “Factors Used in Determining Executive Compensation,” considered in making compensation decisions, and therefore individual NEO compensation may fall at varying levels as compared to the market data.
Fiscal Year 2024 Executive Compensation Program
When a cash-based performance incentive is deemed earned by the process described above, it is paid as soon as practicable following such determination, generally in May. Performance-Based Equity Incentives As part of his new-hire equity arrangement, Mr. Overpeck was granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) valued at approximately $4,000,000 on the grant date, with one-quarter of that amount ($1,000,000 per year) to be issued each of the first four years of employment. The PSUs issued each year would vest based on the achievement of individual performance goals to be established each fiscal year. The target number of shares issuable under Mr. Overpeck’s PSU award was determined by dividing the target grant value of the award by the average closing price of our Class A common stock on the NYSE over the thirty-trading day period prior to the grant date, in order to reduce the impact of daily volatility. If the equity-based performance goals are met, as determined by the Compensation Committee after the end of each applicable fiscal year, the award will be eligible to vest at the threshold, target or maximum level of achievement, subject to Mr. Overpeck’s continued service through each annual vest date. For the 2024 fiscal year, the target number of shares issuable under Mr. Overpeck’s PSU grant was 29,081 PSUs, and the maximum number of shares issuable was 34,897. Under the two-step process described above, the number of PSUs that were eligible to vest was based upon the achievement of the Company’s initial fiscal 2024 revenue goal of $503 million and adjusted EBITDA goal of $219 million, each weighted evenly, as well as individual performance conditions. While our achievement of the revenue and adjusted EBITDA goals established at the beginning of the 2024 fiscal year was at 94.5% and 105.2%, respectively, in April 2024, the Compensation Committee determined that the minimum level of the individual performance conditions for the PSU grant, which was on revenue growth of a business line, were not achieved, and the 29,081 RSUs eligible to vest on the basis of 2024 performance were therefore forfeited in their entirety. Long-Term Incentive Awards We view long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards as a critical component of our executive compensation program, because such awards align the interests of our Chief Executive Officer and our other NEOs with those of our stockholders by incentivizing increases in stockholder value and strengthening retention of our senior management team in the competitive market for talent in which we operate. The size and type of equity awards to be granted is determined by the Compensation Committee, after consultation with the independent compensation consultant and, with respect to the executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee has determined that employees, including executive officers, would be incentivized and retained by the grant of RSUs given that RSUs have value to the recipient even in the absence of stock appreciation, and therefore achieve such goals using fewer shares of our common stock than would be necessary if we used stock options. The value of RSUs is directly impacted by the price of our common stock and, therefore, these awards incentivize our NEOs to create long-term value for our stockholders. RSUs tied to a service-based vesting schedule also help us retain qualified executive officers in a highly competitive market for talent. In determining the size of RSU awards, the Compensation Committee takes into account individual performance, internal pay equity considerations, and the value of existing long-term incentive awards. The equity awards granted to certain of our named executive officers during fiscal year 2024 are set forth in the table below. Noting the current and potential value and remaining vesting of the long-term equity incentive awards granted in prior years to Jeff Tangney, Jennifer Chaloemtiarana and Nate Gross, our Compensation Committee determined that those existing awards provided sufficient retentive and incentive value to such NEOs. Therefore, Mr. Tangney, Ms. Chaloemtiarana and Dr. Gross did not receive an additional RSU grant for fiscal year 2024. See the section titled “Executive Compensation—Outstanding Equity Awards at 2024 Year-End” for more information.

Fiscal Year 2024 Executive Compensation Program
_____________ (1)Granted on February 15, 2024 as an additional incentive; vests quarterly over two years. (2)Granted on May 16, 2023 as part of his new-hire arrangement; vests quarterly over four years. The number of shares issuable under each of the RSU awards in the table above was determined by dividing the target grant value of the award by the average closing price of our Class A common stock on the NYSE over the thirty-trading day period prior to the grant date, in order to reduce the impact of daily volatility on compensation decisions. The grant date fair value of the RSU awards reported in the “2024 Summary Compensation Table” and the “2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” is required to be calculated based on our stock price on the grant date, and as a result, such amount may be higher or lower than the target grant value.
Tax and Accounting Implications
Tax and Accounting Implications Deductibility of executive compensation. In designing our executive compensation program and determining the compensation of our executive officers, a variety of factors is considered, including the potential impact of the Section 162(m) $1,000,000 deduction limit. To maintain flexibility to compensate our executive officers in a manner designed to promote our short-term and long-term goals, we have not adopted a policy that all compensation must be deductible. We believe that we should not be constrained by the requirements of Section 162(m) where those requirements would impair our flexibility in attracting and retaining the highest level of talented and experienced executive officers and in compensating our executive officers in a manner that best promotes our strategic objectives. Taxation of “parachute” payments and deferred compensation. Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that executive officers and directors who hold significant equity interests and certain other service providers may be subject to an excise tax if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control that exceeds certain prescribed limits, and that the Company, or a successor, may forfeit a deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. Section 409A of the Code also imposes additional significant taxes on the individual in the event that an executive officer, director, or other service provider receives “deferred compensation” that does not meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. We have not agreed to provide our executive officers, including our NEOs, 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 4999 or Section 409A of the Code. Accounting treatment. Under ASC Topic 718, we are required to estimate and record expense for each award of equity compensation over the vesting period of the award. We record stock-based compensation expense on an ongoing basis according to ASC Topic 718. The accounting impact of our executive compensation program is one of many factors that are considered in determining the size and structure of our executive compensation program, so that we can ensure that it is reasonable and in the best interests of our stockholders.

2024 Summary Compensation Table
_____________ (1)The amounts reported represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the stock awards granted to our named executive officers during the fiscal year, calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of the stock and option awards reported in this column are set forth in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Such aggregate grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures related to service vesting conditions. The amounts reported in this column reflect the accounting cost for these RSUs, PSUs and option awards and do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by our named executive officers upon the vesting and/or settlement of the RSU and PSU awards, exercise of the option awards, or any sale of the underlying shares of common stock. (2)PSU values are included in this amount to the extent that the PSUs have a grant date under FASB ASC Topic 718 in the fiscal year. For purposes of the PSUs, the grant date cannot occur until the applicable performance goals are approved, and therefore this includes the grant date fair value of approximately 1/4th of the target number of PSUs granted to Mr. Overpeck in May 2023. The grant date fair value of the PSUs included within this amount is calculated based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date. Assuming the maximum level of performance achievement, the aggregate grant date fair of the PSUs granted in fiscal 2024 would have been $1,187,196. For more information regarding the accounting for and assumptions we used to calculate the grant date fair values for PSUs, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. (3)For fiscal year 2024, the amounts reported represent 401(k) matching contributions, company-paid group life insurance premiums, and wellness benefits for each of our NEOs, and company contributions to health savings accounts for Dr. Gross. (4)The amounts reported reflect non-equity incentive compensation earned by our NEOs upon the achievement of pre-established performance metrics. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Short-Term Cash Incentive Compensation” for a description of the 2024 annual cash incentive program. (5)Mr. Tangney’s base salary was increased from $240,000 to $300,000 effective May 1, 2023. (6)Ms. Bryson’s base salary was increased from $300,000 to $400,000 effective February 1, 2024.

2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table
_____________ (1)The amounts represent the target and maximum amount of non-equity incentive plan awards each NEO could earn in fiscal 2024 under our short-term cash incentive compensation program. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Short-Term Cash Incentive” for a description of the 2024 annual cash incentive program. There is no threshold for the awards granted under the short-term cash incentive compensation program. (2)Amounts in these columns represent the target, threshold, and maximum units for PSUs with a grant date established under FASB ASC Topic 718 in the fiscal year. For purposes of the PSUs, the grant date cannot occur until the applicable performance goals are determined to have been achieved. (3)The grant date fair value of each equity award is computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718. The amounts reported in this column reflect the accounting cost for these equity awards as of each respective grant date and do not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by the NEOs upon the vesting of the equity awards. The amounts for the PSUs granted in fiscal 2024 included within this column reflect the grant date fair value based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date. For purposes of the PSUs, the grant date cannot occur until the applicable performance goals are determined to have been achieved. (4)1/8th of the shares subject to this RSU vest on a quarterly basis following February 15, 2024, subject to the NEO’s continuous service relationship with the company through each applicable vesting date. (5)1/16th of the shares subject to this RSU vest on a quarterly basis following May 15, 2024, subject to the NEO’s continuous service relationship with the company through each applicable vesting date. (6)The amounts represent the number of PSUs that will vest based upon the achievement of the Company’s initial fiscal 2024 revenue goal of $503 million and adjusted EBITDA goal of $219 million, each weighted evenly, and individual performance conditions that may be used to modify the level of performance, including to zero but no more than 120% of target. The revenue and adjusted EBITDA goals represent the midpoint of the stated ranges provided at the beginning of fiscal year 2024. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and as further adjusted for acquisition and other related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense, change in fair value of contingent earn-out consideration liability, and other income, net. If the minimum performance conditions were met, PSUs would be issued in an amount that is 32% of target. In April 2024, the Compensation Committee determined that the minimum level of the individual performance conditions were not achieved and therefore the award was forfeited in its entirety.

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2024 Year-End
_____________ (1)Unless otherwise described herein, each option grant is subject to the terms of our 2010 Plan and each RSU is subject to the terms of our 2021 Plan. (2)The market value of the outstanding RSUs was calculated by multiplying the number of shares shown in the Table by $26.91, which was the closing market price of Doximity's Class A common stock on March 31, 2024, the last trading day of our fiscal year. (3)This option became fully vested on May 7, 2022. (4)This option became fully vested on March 27, 2021. (5)This option became fully vested on May 31, 2022. (6)This option became fully vested on March 11, 2022. (7)1/60th of the shares subject to the stock option vest on a monthly basis following the vesting commencement date, subject to the named executive officer’s continuous service relationship with the company through each applicable vesting date. (8)1/48th of the shares subject to the stock option vest on a monthly basis following the vesting commencement date, subject to the named executive officer’s continuous service relationship with the company through each applicable vesting date. (9)1/4th of the shares subject to the stock option vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining shares vest in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter, subject to the named executive officer’s continuous service relationship with the company through each applicable vesting date. (10)1/48th of the shares subject to the stock option vest on a monthly basis following the fifth anniversary of Ms. Bryson’s hire date, August 21, 2022, subject to the named executive officer’s continuous service relationship with the company through each applicable vesting date. (11)1/16th of the shares subject to this RSU vest on a quarterly basis following the vesting commencement date, subject to the named executive officer’s continuous service relationship with the company through each applicable vesting date. (12)1/8th of the shares subject to this RSU vest on a quarterly basis following the vesting commencement date, subject to the named executive officer’s continuous service relationship with the company through each applicable vesting date. (13)This option was issued in connection with consulting work conducted by Mr. Overpeck for the Company prior to his hire, and it fully vested on November 29, 2017. (14)All unvested awards for the NEO are subject to vesting acceleration under certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of the RSU or option agreement, as described in the section titled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” below. (15)The shares subject to this PSU were forfeited in April 2024, when the Compensation Committee determined that the minimum level of the individual performance conditions for the first tranche of his PSU were not achieved. For purposes of the PSUs, the grant date cannot occur until the applicable performance goals are approved, and therefore we have excluded the approximately 3/4th of the target number of PSUs granted to Mr. Overpeck in May 2023, which represents the remaining tranches, for which a performance condition had not been set as of March 31, 2024.
2024 Options Exercised and Stock Vested Table
2024 Options Exercised and Stock Vested Table The following table provides information on stock option exercises and shares acquired on the vesting of stock awards by our named executive officers during fiscal year 2024.
2024 Options Exercised and Stock Vested Table
| | Option Awards | | Stock Awards | | | Name | Number of Shares Acquired on Exercise (#) | Value Realized on Exercise ($)(1) | Number of Shares Acquired on Vesting (#) | Value Realized on Vesting ($)(2) | | Jeff Tangney | — | — | — | — | | Anna Bryson | 35,000 | 717,150 | — | — | | Craig Overpeck | — | — | 29,181 | 821,532 | | Nate Gross | 119,993 | 2,840,800 | 9,126 | 256,734 | | Jennifer Chaloemtiarana | 13,997 | 328,153 | 7,301 | 205,390 |
2024 Options Exercised and Stock Vested Table
(1)The value realized on exercise is computed by multiplying the difference between the exercise price and the closing stock price of our Class A common stock on the date of exercise by the number of shares subject to the stock option that were exercised. (2)The value realized on vesting is computed by multiplying the number of shares subject to the RSU that vested by the closing stock price of our Class A common stock on the vest date.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control The following describes and quantifies the estimated amounts payable under existing plans and contractual arrangements we have entered into with our named executive officers, assuming a qualifying termination of employment occurred on March 31, 2024, based on the closing market price of our Class A common stock of $26.91 on March 28, 2024, the immediately preceding trading date. Anna Bryson: Pursuant to Ms. Bryson’s amended offer letter, in the event of a termination of her employment by us without Cause or by Ms. Bryson as a result of a Constructive Termination within twelve months following the consummation of a Change in Control (as such capitalized terms are defined in the amended offer letter), Ms. Bryson will be eligible to receive acceleration of 100% of any of her then-outstanding and unvested equity awards, such that all equity awards will become vested and exercisable as of her separation date. Had such a qualifying termination of employment occurred on March 31, 2024, the value of the accelerated vesting of Ms. Bryson’s outstanding equity awards would have been $9,427,042. Jennifer Chaloemtiarana: Pursuant to Ms. Chaloemtiarana’s offer letter, in the event of her termination of employment by us without Cause (as defined in the offer letter), Ms. Chaloemtiarana will receive a cash payment in an amount equal to six (6) months of her then-current base salary and a pro-rated portion of her annual incentive compensation (both paid in equal installments over six (6) months) and acceleration of the then-outstanding unvested equity that would have vested during the six (6) months following such termination of employment, so that any such equity awards will vest and become exercisable as of the date of her termination as if she had provided services to the company for an additional six (6) months. Had such a qualifying termination of employment for Ms. Chaloemtiarana occurred on March 31, 2024, the value of the cash salary severance would have been $150,000, the value of the cash annual incentive compensation would have been $150,000, and the value of the accelerated vesting of her outstanding equity awards would have been $798,696, for a total value of $1,098,696. In addition, in the event of a termination of Ms. Chaloemtiarana’s employment within twelve months following the consummation of a Change in Control (whether such termination is by us without Cause or by Ms. Chaloemtiarana as a result of Constructive Termination (as each such capitalized term is defined in the offer letter)), Ms. Chaloemtiarana will be eligible to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to six (6) months of her then-current base salary and a pro-rated portion of her annual incentive compensation (both paid in equal installments over six (6) months) and acceleration of 100% of any of her then-outstanding and unvested equity awards, such that all equity awards will become vested and exercisable as of her separation date. Had such a qualifying termination of employment for Ms. Chaloemtiarana occurred on March 31, 2024, the value of the cash salary severance would have been $150,000, the value of the cash annual incentive compensation would have been $150,000, and the value of the accelerated vesting of her outstanding equity awards would have been $2,590,359, for a total value of $2,890,359. Craig Overpeck: Pursuant to the terms of the PSU grant issued to Mr. Overpeck, in the event of a ”sale event” as defined under our 2021 Plan prior to the completion of the performance period for the PSUs, Mr. Overpeck would be eligible to receive that number of shares that the Compensation Committee had determined had been earned as of the date of the sale event. Had a termination of Mr. Overpeck’s employment occurred on March 31, 2024, Mr. Overpeck would not have been eligible to receive any of the underlying shares subject to his PSU grant. In addition, the Company’s equity plans provide for certain contingent benefits upon a change in control as described below: The 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) provides that in the event of a merger or a “Change in Control,” as defined in the 2010 Plan, each outstanding award is treated as our board determines without participant consent. Outstanding awards may be (i) assumed or substituted by an acquiring company; (ii) upon written notice to participants, terminate upon or immediately prior to the Change in Control or merger; (iii) vest and become exercisable, or restrictions will lapse, in whole or in part prior to the Change in Control or merger; (iv) terminate for an amount of cash or property equal to what the participant would have received on exercise or realization of the award, if any; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. However, in the event that the acquiring company does not assume or substitute awards, (x) all vesting on options and stock appreciation rights shall fully accelerate and become exercisable, (y) all restrictions on restricted stock and restricted stock units will lapse, and (z) any performance-based vesting and performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one-hundred percent of goal. The 2021 Plan, provides that upon the effectiveness of a “sale event,” as defined in our 2021 Plan, an acquirer or successor entity may assume, continue or substitute for the outstanding awards under our 2021 Plan. To the extent that awards granted under our 2021 Plan are not assumed or continued or substituted by the successor entity, all unvested awards granted under our 2021 Plan shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant award agreement, all options and stock appreciation rights with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions that are not vested and exercisable immediately prior to the sale event will become fully vested and exercisable as of the sale event, all other awards with time-based vesting, conditions, or restrictions will become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the sale event, and all awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with the sale event at the plan administrator’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant award agreement.
CEO PAY RATIO
CEO PAY RATIO Under rules adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required to disclose the ratio of the total compensation paid to the median employee as compared to the total compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO Pay Ratio”). The paragraphs that follow describe our methodology and the resulting CEO Pay Ratio. The annual total compensation for 2024 for our CEO, Mr. Tangney was $298,869 as reported under the heading “Summary Compensation Table.” Our median employee's annual total compensation for 2024 was $160,672, calculated using the same methodology as that for our CEO which includes both cash and equity based compensation. As a result, we estimate that Mr. Tangney's 2024 total compensation was approximately 1.86 times that of our median employee. Our CEO to median employee pay ratio was calculated in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. We identified the median employee using our employee population on March 31, 2024 (including all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, seasonal or temporary basis). We did not include any contractors or other non-employee workers in our employee population. To identify the median employee, we used a consistently applied compensation measure consisting of annual base pay, actual commissions, actual bonuses, and the grant date fair value of equity awards granted to our employees during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Compensation for new hire employees that commenced employment in fiscal year 2024 was annualized to reflect a full year. This information is being provided for compliance purposes and is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules, based on our internal records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee 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. Accordingly, 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 use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. Neither the Compensation Committee nor management of the company used the CEO Pay Ratio measure in making compensation decisions.

Pay Versus Performance Table
(4)The Company and the Peer Group total shareholder return is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100 on June 24, 2021 (the date that our Class A common stock commenced trading on the NYSE) through the end of the listed year, and assumes that all dividends were reinvested. (5)Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. (6)Represents the weighted peer group TSR of the S&P 500 Information Technology Index, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. (7)While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that Revenue is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.
