We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the Special Meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the Special Meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DDOG2026SM. Technical support will be available starting at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2026.

Who can vote at the Special Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date, February 24, 2026, and their valid proxyholders will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and at any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof. On the Record Date, there were [●] shares of Class A common stock and [●] shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

| • |  | Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote online during the Special Meeting or by proxy in advance. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to vote your shares by proxy in advance of the Special Meeting through the internet, by telephone or by completing and returning a printed proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver at a later time to ensure your vote is counted.

| • |  | Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank. If, on the Record Date, your shares were held not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Special Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may vote your shares online during the Special Meeting only by following the instructions from such organization and after obtaining a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent.

How many votes do I have?

Each holder of shares of our Class A common stock will have one vote per share of Class A common stock held as of the Record Date, and each holder of shares of our Class B common stock will have 10 votes per share of Class B common stock held as of the Record Date. The holders of the shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote as a single class on all matters described in this proxy statement for which your vote is being solicited.

What am I voting on?

The sole matter to be voted on at the Special Meeting is a proposal to approve the redomiciliation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada by conversion (the “Proposal”).

How does the Board recommend that I vote on the Proposal?

Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” the Proposal to approve the redomiciliation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada by conversion.

What if another matter is properly brought before the Special Meeting?

Our board of directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting or any adjournment, postponement

or continuation thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

How do I vote?

| • |  | Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote (1) online during the Special Meeting or (2) in advance of the Special Meeting by proxy through the internet, by telephone or by using a proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver at a later time. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Special Meeting and vote online even if you have already voted by proxy.

| • |  | To vote online during the Special Meeting, follow the provided instructions to join the Special Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DDOG2026SM, starting at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2026. The webcast will open 15 minutes before the start of the Special Meeting.

| • |  | To vote in advance of the Special Meeting through the internet, go to www.proxyvote.com to complete an electronic proxy card. You will be asked to provide the control number from the Notice or the printed proxy card. Your internet vote must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2026, to be counted.

| • |  | To vote in advance of the Special Meeting by telephone, dial 1-800-690-6903 using a touch-tone phone and follow the recorded instructions. You will be asked to provide the control number from the Notice or the printed proxy card. Your telephone vote must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on [●], 2026, to be counted.

| • |  | To vote in advance of the Special Meeting using a printed proxy card that may be delivered to you, simply complete, sign and date the proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Special Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

| • |  | Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank. If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a Notice containing voting instructions from that organization rather than from us. To vote prior to the Special Meeting, simply follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote online during the Special Meeting, you must follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent and will need to obtain a proxy issued in your name from that record holder.

Even if you plan to participate in the Special Meeting, the Board strongly recommends that you submit a proxy to vote your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to participate in the Special Meeting.

Internet voting during the Special Meeting and/or internet proxy voting in advance of the Special Meeting allows you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your vote instructions. Please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your internet access.

Can I vote my shares by filling out and returning the Notice?

No. The Notice identifies the items to be voted on at the Special Meeting, but you cannot vote by marking the Notice and returning it. The Notice provides instructions on how to vote by proxy in advance of the Special Meeting through the internet, by telephone, using a printed proxy card or online during the Special Meeting.

##### Table of Contents

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice?

If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on the Notices to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

| • |  | Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If you are a stockholder of record, then yes, you can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Special Meeting. You may revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

| • |  | Submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date;

| • |  | Grant a subsequent proxy by telephone or through the internet;

| • |  | Send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy via email at IR@datadoghq.com; or

| • |  | Attend the Special Meeting and vote online during the meeting. Simply attending the Special Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy. Even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions or vote in advance of the Special Meeting through the internet, by telephone or by completing the proxy card that may be delivered to you so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Special Meeting.

Your most current proxy card or telephone or internet proxy is the one that is counted.

| • |  | Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank. If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other agent.

If I am a stockholder of record and I do not vote, or if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote without giving specific voting instructions, what happens?

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote through the internet, by telephone, or by completing the proxy card that may be delivered to you or online during the Special Meeting, your shares will not be voted.

If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of our Board, which is “FOR” the Proposal. If any other matter is properly presented at the Special Meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using their best judgment.

If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and I do not provide my broker, bank or other agent with voting instructions, what happens?

If you are a beneficial owner and do not instruct your broker, bank or other agent how to vote your shares, the question of whether your broker or nominee will be able to vote your shares depends on whether, pursuant to stock exchange rules, the particular proposal is deemed to be a “routine” matter. Brokers and nominees can use their discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under applicable rules and interpretations, “non-routine” matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders, such as mergers, stockholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation, and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported.

The Proposal is considered to be a “non-routine” matter. As a result, your broker or nominee will not vote your shares on the Proposal without your instructions. Please instruct your bank, broker or other agent to ensure that your vote will be counted.

##### Table of Contents

What are “broker non-votes”?

A “broker non-vote” occurs when your broker submits a proxy for a meeting with respect to “routine” matters but does not vote on “non-routine” matters because you did not provide voting instructions on these matters. These unvoted shares with respect to “non-routine” matters are counted as “broker non-votes.”

We do not expect there to be any “broker non-votes” at the Special Meeting because the Proposal is considered to be a “non-routine” matter. Accordingly, if you do not provide instructions to your broker, bank or other agent on how to vote your shares, your shares will not be voted.

As a reminder, if you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” in order to ensure your shares are voted, you must provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from such organization.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Special Meeting, who will count with respect to the Proposal votes “FOR,” “AGAINST,” abstentions and broker non-votes, if any.

How many votes are needed to approve the Proposal?

The Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon. The holders of shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on the Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Proposal.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting are present at the Special Meeting by virtual attendance or represented by proxy. On the Record Date, there were [●] shares of Class A common stock and [●] shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the person who called the meeting, the Chairperson of the meeting, or the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present at the Special Meeting by virtual attendance or represented by proxy may adjourn the Special Meeting to another date or time.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Special Meeting?

We anticipate announcing preliminary voting results at the Special Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K that we expect to file within four business days after the Special Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the Special Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

When are stockholder proposals and director nominations due for the Company’s next annual meeting?

Stockholder proposals intended to be included in the Company’s proxy materials for the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must be submitted in writing to our Secretary at 620 8th Avenue, 45th Floor, New York,

PROPOSAL — APPROVAL OF THE REDOMICILIATION OF THE COMPANY FROM THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO THE STATE OF NEVADA BY CONVERSION

The Board has unanimously approved, and recommends that stockholders approve, a proposal to redomicile the Company, by conversion, from a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Corporation”) to a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Nevada Corporation”) (such conversion of the Delaware Corporation into the Nevada Corporation, the “Nevada Redomiciliation”), and adopt the resolutions of the Board approving the Nevada Redomiciliation (the “Nevada Redomiciliation Resolutions”) included as Appendix B to this proxy statement.

Principal Terms of the Nevada Redomiciliation

The Nevada Redomiciliation, if approved by our stockholders, will be effected through a conversion pursuant to Section 266 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), and Section 92A.195 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the “NRS”), as set forth in the plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) included as Appendix C to this proxy statement. Approval of this Proposal will constitute approval of the Plan of Conversion.

Pursuant to the Plan of Conversion, upon the effectiveness of the Nevada Redomiciliation:

| • |  | The Company will continue in existence as a Nevada corporation and will continue to operate its business under its current name, “Datadog, Inc.”;

In connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation, the Company intends to make filings with the Nevada Secretary of State and the Secretary of State of Delaware and does not anticipate making any other filings to effect the Nevada Redomiciliation.

The Nevada Redomiciliation may be delayed by our Board, or the Plan of Conversion may be terminated and abandoned by action of our Board, at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the approval by our stockholders, if our Board determines for any reason that such delay or abandonment would be in the best interests of the Company and all of its stockholders, as the case may be.

Background of the Proposal

General Background and Context for the Board’s Recommendation

As part of their ongoing oversight, direction and management of the Company’s business, our Board and management have thoroughly discussed the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation.

Like many corporations, the Company incorporated in Delaware. A large portion of U.S. corporations have historically chosen Delaware as their state of incorporation due to its reputation for having a well-defined and business-friendly legal environment. Though Delaware corporate law may be less prescriptive in its statutory requirements for fiduciary duties than other states, because of the extensive experience of the Delaware courts and considerable body of judicial decisions since the early 1900s, Delaware has garnered the reputation of offering corporations and their counsel greater guidance on matters of corporate governance and transaction liability issues.

Since our incorporation, the Company has delivered strong financial performance, and has executed on robust revenue and profitability growth. As a reflection of that financial performance and investors’ positive evaluation of the Company’s strategy and competitive position, DDOG shares have delivered strong long-term value to stockholders over the years. For investors in our 2019 initial public offering, our market capitalization has increased from $10.88 billion after the first day of trading on September 19, 2019, to over $47.95 billion as of the close of trading on January 27, 2026, an increase of over 341%.

Our Board believes that our success as a company would not have been possible without the foresight and strategic decisions of our visionary co-founders, Chief Executive Officer Olivier Pomel and Chief Technology Officer Alexis Lê-Quôc. Mr. Pomel and Mr. Lê-Quôc founded the Company in 2010, with the vision of breaking down silos between developers, operations teams, and their tools and data. These teams are tasked with running mission-critical, customer-facing, production software applications with high reliability, security, and cost-efficiency. When application outages occur, these silos and the resultant lack of coordination and communication

among teams cause significant negative business outcomes, including poor customer experience, lost revenue, and loss of engineering productivity. In response to this problem, Mr. Pomel and Mr. Lê-Quôc built a real-time data integration platform to turn the chaos of uncorrelated data into digestible and actionable insights, and to encourage collaboration among teams. This product area is known today as Observability: the Company helps its customers observe, understand, and optimize their systems and applications, and if there is an issue, restore system health as quickly as possible. Furthermore, Mr. Pomel and Mr. Lê-Quôc chose to focus on cloud-based systems and applications, which at the time was a nascent and yet-unproven technology, but has since developed into a large market, which Gartner Research estimates will exceed $1 trillion in size by 2027. Since launching its first product, Infrastructure Monitoring, in 2012, the Company has expanded its platform rapidly, and offers end-to-end monitoring, analytics, security, and incident resolution, across 24 products as of September, 2025, powered by a common data model that is extensible for use cases across Observability, Data Observability, Security, Software Delivery, Service Management, and Product Analytics. We believe the Company is currently the industry leader in the Observability space, based on our analysis of third-party market research from firms like Gartner Research and 451 Research.

Under Mr. Pomel’s and Mr. Lê-Quôc’s leadership and strategic guidance, the Company has continued to deliver strong customer value since its founding, leading to the Company’s growing market share and market leadership position, which in turn has driven strong financial performance. As of the quarter ending September 30, 2025, the Company reported $3.21 billion in trailing 12 month revenue; this represents growth of 27% year-over-year, and 495% over the past five years. This revenue growth has been driven by both growth in the number of customers, as more companies deploy to the cloud and adopt the Datadog platform, and growth in average revenue per customer, as the Datadog platform has expanded to include more use cases and deliver more value to each customer. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has about 32,000 customers in over 140 countries, up 144% from about 13,100 customers as of September 30, 2020. These customers range from the largest Fortune 500 companies, to the smallest, tech-forward start-ups, and spans customers of every industry. As of the September 30, 2025 quarter, the average revenue per customer is over $111,000, up over 127% from over $49,000 in the September 30, 2020 quarter. The increase in average revenue per customer is driven in part by customer adoption of multiple products in the Datadog platform: As of the September 30, 2025 quarter, 84% of customers have adopted two or more products, up from 71% five years ago; 54% have adopted four or more products, up from 20% five years ago; 31% have adopted six or more products, up from 2% five years ago; and 16% have adopted eight or more products, up from 0% five years ago.

The Company has also delivered strong profitability and cash flow, each of which has grown meaningfully over the years. As of September 30, 2025, the Company executed to trailing twelve-month GAAP net income of $107 million and a trailing twelve-month non-GAAP net income of $707 million. Over the five years ending September 30, 2025, the Company achieved GAAP net income growth of $114 million and non-GAAP net income growth of $659 million. As of September 30, 2025, the Company executed to trailing twelve-month GAAP operating loss of $44 million, or a -1% GAAP operating margin, and a trailing twelve-month non-GAAP operating income of $717 million, or a 22% non-GAAP operating margin. Over the five years ending September 30, 2025, the Company achieved GAAP operating income growth of 524% and non-GAAP operating income growth of 1,244%. As of the quarter ending September 30, 2025, the Company generated operating cash flow of $988 million on a trailing twelve-month basis or $865 million in trailing twelve-month free cash flow. This represents operating cash flow growth of 862% over the past five years, and free cash flow growth of 1,017% over the past five years. The Company has reported positive GAAP net income in each quarter since the quarter ending September 30, 2023. For a full reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, please see Appendix A to this proxy statement.

As the Company’s financial performance and market cap has increased, DDOG has been added to notable equity indices, including the NASDAQ 100 Index in December 2021, and the S&P 500 Index in July 2025.

Mr. Pomel and Mr. Lê-Quôc have consistently guided the Company by successfully anticipating industry trends and changes, and creating and executing on a strategy to take advantage of those opportunities. By taking this long-term strategic view, Mr. Pomel and Mr. Lê-Quôc have successfully stewarded the Company during times of technological change, which have created uncertainty but also significant opportunity for the Company. Some of the strategic decisions that Mr. Pomel and Mr. Lê-Quôc led include:

| • |  | Choosing to build and continually update a platform to deliver greater value to customers, contrasted with competitors who typically sold disparate and disconnected point products.

| • |  | Developing the platform to focus on monitoring and observability of cloud systems, at a time when that space was very nascent and its later size and growth was uncertain. Years of development and execution around this focus has led to market leadership in observability for the cloud era.

| • |  | Electing to instill financial discipline into its business model from the start. The Company consumed less than $30 million in cash between founding and IPO. By developing a sustainable financial business model early on, the Company set the foundation for its strong financial profitability and cash generation in subsequent years.

| • |  | Architecting the product to be implemented by customers rapidly, with quick time-to-value, enabling an efficient go-to-market motion.

| • |  | Focusing on delivering innovation through Research & Development (“R&D”) investment. The Company is one of the few software companies that invest more in R&D than Sales & Marketing, delivering greater value to customers and ensuring a roadmap that keeps up with shifts in technology and customers’ expanding use cases.

| • |  | Relentlessly focusing on solving customer problems, and not on short-term financial goals, as a north star for product development.

| • |  | Selecting a usage-based pricing model, which aligned to customer value and proved prescient against the seat-based model that prevailed at the time.

| • |  | Executing market leadership in the Company’s first product, Infrastructure Monitoring, and subsequently building multiple other observability products on the Datadog platform, to execute to market leadership in the observability space overall.

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | Expanding the platform beyond observability to adjacent areas of customer value, in security, software delivery, service management, data observation, and product analytics.

| • |  | Aggressively shifting the Company’s investment mix towards the next generation of AI.

| • |  | These strategic decisions and many more, executed over multi-year periods, has led to market leadership and strong financial performance, as described above.

Our strategic advantage against our competitors has been a result of Mr. Pomel and Mr. Lê-Quôc’s technical expertise and ability to navigate an increasingly complex technological ecosystem. In such an environment, we believe our ongoing success will be predicated on the ability to make long-term strategic decisions that build upon and enhance our core business strategy. At this time, the Board believes that Mr. Pomel and Mr. Lê-Quôc will be essential to maintaining our success and developing our ongoing business strategy.

Delaware corporations, particularly those with active founders that own significant amounts of stock, have faced an increasingly litigious environment in Delaware in recent years, which has made Delaware a less attractive place of incorporation due to the substantial costs associated with defending against such suits. Over the years, Delaware corporations have been subjected to more frequent stockholder inspection demands and litigation claims arising under Delaware law as well as higher litigation and settlement fees, including attorneys’ fees. For example, in aggregate, in 2024 there were 21 M&A related settlements totaling $618.3 million paid, a 420% increase in the number of settlements compared to 2019 and a 562% increase in the aggregate settlement amount paid. Moreover, other high-profile technology companies, including Alphabet Inc., Amazon Web Services, Inc., Cloudflare, Inc., International Business Machines Corp, Meta Platforms, Inc., Microsoft Corp, SolarWinds, Inc., Tesla, Inc., Trade Desk, Inc. and TripAdvisor, Inc., have all faced significant challenges to corporate action in Delaware. This increasingly litigious environment has resulted in unpredictability regarding whether Board and management decisions will be enforced. It has also engendered costly and unmeritorious litigation that has the potential to distract the Company’s directors and management team from focusing on the execution of the Company’s strategy and increasing stockholder value. All of these factors, in the Board’s view, have made Delaware a less attractive place of incorporation, particularly for companies like ours in competitive and innovative industries.

At the same time, other states have amended their corporation laws and otherwise sought to make their jurisdictions more attractive as a place of incorporation. Nevada in particular has developed and advanced its corporate laws in order to provide businesses with a modern and predictable corporate governance framework and a statute-focused legal environment and, as a result, Nevada has begun to compete with Delaware for public company incorporations.

We believe our long-term strategic approach is the best way to deliver consistent performance and sustainable stockholder returns. The Company has historically made many difficult decisions and investments in innovations that have ultimately proven to be beneficial to our stockholders. As the competitive and regulatory landscape continues to evolve, we believe that having flexibility and the option of maintaining significant founder involvement in our business, along with greater certainty and predictability in corporate decision-making, can offer the Company the competitive advantages needed to stay nimble and compete effectively in the years to come. As a result, our Board determined it was in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to evaluate redomiciling to a jurisdiction that we believe could provide this flexibility.

Our Board’s Evaluation of the Nevada Redomiciliation

At a meeting held on June 6, 2025, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board (the “N&CG Committee”) discussed among other matters, the evolving legal landscape in Delaware and whether it could be beneficial to consider changing the Company’s state of incorporation. However, the N&CG Committee decided not to move forward with redomiciling at that time because the Delaware legislature had recently adopted amendments to the DGCL, which took effect on March 25, 2025 (the “2025 DGCL Amendments”), that appeared designed to address some companies’ concerns about the recent developments in Delaware law, and it was unclear whether those amendments would adequately address the key issues in practice.

##### Table of Contents

On October 29, 2025, the N&CG Committee and a representative of Sullivan & Cromwell (“S&C”), independent legal counsel to the Company, met to assess, among other things, whether the Board should resume consideration of a potential redomiciliation of the Company in light of certain recent developments, including the continuing uncertainty in Delaware’s legal landscape following the adoption of the 2025 DGCL Amendments, and changes in other states’ corporate laws and market practices since the N&CG Committee had last considered a potential redomiciliation. Following that discussion, including an executive session without management present, the members of the N&CG Committee requested additional information from management and S&C to inform its consideration of a potential redomiciliation.

On December 16, 2025, the N&CG Committee and representatives of S&C again met to evaluate whether the Board should reconsider a potential redomiciliation of the Company. As part of this discussion, the N&CG Committee discussed the potential benefits and drawbacks of remaining in Delaware compared to redomiciling and other considerations, including recent market practices and trends with respect to states of incorporation, the Company’s nexus to various jurisdictions, the Board’s fiduciary duties, implications for stockholders, and the overall redomiciliation process. Following that discussion (including an executive session), the N&CG Committee recommended that a further discussion of a potential redomiciliation of the Company be conducted at a full Board meeting.

On January 6, 2026, the Board met with representatives of S&C to discuss a potential redomiciliation of the Company. At this meeting, the Board considered, among other possibilities, both Texas and Nevada as potential states of incorporation based on predominant market practices and other factors relevant to the Company’s business and concluded that Nevada appeared to be an attractive alternative to Delaware given Nevada’s carefully drafted and innovative corporate statutes and statute-based and business-oriented legal environment. The Board also discussed the likelihood that the Company’s stockholders would approve redomiciliation and requested that management provide additional information concerning the projected stockholder approval levels for a vote on redomiciliation, which management provided following the meeting after consulting with the Company’s proxy solicitor.

Thereafter, certain independent directors of the Board met informally on January 17, 2026, and had further discussions with management and with representatives of S&C, to further discuss and evaluate whether a redomiciliation of the Company to Nevada would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. As part of these discussions, the directors further evaluated a number of factors, including the benefits to the Company and our stockholders of redomiciling to Nevada compared to remaining in Delaware, the possible negative impacts of a redomiciliation, meaningful differences in corporate law between Delaware and Nevada and implications for our stockholders as to their economic, governance and litigation rights.

Following its meetings and discussions, on January 19, 2026, our Board determined that the Nevada Redomiciliation would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and authorized and directed management to take all steps necessary to prepare for the Nevada Redomiciliation.

On February 9, 2026, our Board approved the Nevada Redomiciliation, adopted the Nevada Redomiciliation Resolutions, directed that the Nevada Redomiciliation be submitted for consideration by our stockholders at the Special Meeting and recommended that our stockholders approve the Nevada Redomiciliation (including the Plan of Conversion, Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws) and adopt the Nevada Redomiciliation Resolutions.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board has unanimously approved the Nevada Redomiciliation and recommended that our stockholders approve the Nevada Redomiciliation and adopt the Nevada Redomiciliation Resolutions. Pursuant to Section 266 of the DGCL, the Nevada Redomiciliation and Nevada Redomiciliation Resolutions are hereby submitted for approval and adoption by the stockholders of the Company, with the recommendation of the Board that stockholders vote for the Nevada Redomiciliation and Nevada Redomiciliation Resolutions pursuant to this Proposal.

Reasons For Nevada Redomiciliation

Our Board believes that there are several reasons the Nevada Redomiciliation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Nevada Law Will Preserve Necessary Flexibility for Our Founders’ Involvement

We believe that Nevada’s carefully drafted and innovative corporate laws and statute-based and business-oriented legal environment provides more clarity and flexibility for companies like ours with active founders, preserving our flexibility to keep Mr. Pomel and Mr. Lê-Quôc involved in running the Company. For example, NRS Chapters 78 and 92A are generally recognized as a comprehensive and thoughtfully maintained state corporate statutes. Unlike in Delaware, where corporate law regarding fiduciary duties is significantly driven by case law, Nevada codifies the fiduciary duties of directors and officers in the NRS. In turn, Nevada courts follow a more statute-based approach to director and officer duties that is less dependent on judicial interpretation.

Although the Company has neither received nor made a proposal contemplating any changes to our existing arrangements with our founders, the statute-driven approach adopted by Nevada, which lessens judicial ambiguity and provides a more stable and predictable legal environment, would offer our founders, Board and management clearer guideposts for considering and making changes to those arrangements in the future if deemed desirable and appropriate. As a result, the Nevada Redomiciliation will help provide the necessary flexibility and clarity to enable us to keep our founders involved in the Company should we wish to do so.

Nevada Law Will Provide More Predictability and Certainty in the Underlying Laws That Impact Decision-Making

We also believe Nevada’s statute-based approach is more advantageous to the Company than Delaware law because Nevada courts follow a more statute-based approach to corporate decisions and transactions that is less dependent upon the vagaries of judicial interpretation or the subject of the matter at issue, and therefore tends to be more stable, predictable and efficient than the review of corporate decision-making under Delaware law, which largely consists of judicial decisions that develop and potentially shift over time.

Recent Delaware Chancery Court decisions have raised questions in the market about the predictability of the Delaware courts, particularly for companies like ours with active founders who are also significant stockholders, undermining what was previously perceived as a significant benefit of incorporating in Delaware. Uncertainty as to what standards of conduct govern corporate decision-making, and how a court may rule with respect to the propriety of a transaction after the fact, can have a chilling effect on corporate decision-making, particularly where directors and officers face risk (even if unlikely) of personal liability, which could result in a company not engaging in transactions or taking other corporate actions that could potentially beneficial to its stockholders. Although the Company, with stockholder approval, recently amended its certificate of incorporation to limit the personal liability of officers (in addition to directors) to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law in order to protect against some of these concerns, such protections are more limited in Delaware than Nevada. For example, unlike in Nevada, officers of Delaware corporations may not be exculpated in connection with actions by or in the right of the corporation, including derivative actions by stockholders.

In addition, the imposition of onerous standards of post hoc judicial review in Delaware, including standards that can preclude the possibility of obtaining dismissal of claims at the pleading stage, may encourage litigation from Delaware’s active plaintiff’s bar that monitors corporate transactions, and can yield unnecessary friction and delay that may discourage pursuit of transactions the Board might otherwise believe to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

As part of its evaluation of the Nevada Redomiciliation, our Board considered the 2025 DGCL Amendments that appear to be designed to address, at least in part, some of the uncertainty and unpredictability that has been created by recent Delaware court decisions, but the 2025 DGCL Amendments remain subject to constitutional challenge before the Delaware Supreme Court, are untested and subject to uncertain judicial

##### Table of Contents

interpretation and application that may not fully mitigate a variety of litigation and business planning concerns for the Company. By comparison, we believe that, based on the law as it exists today, Nevada offers more predictability and certainty in decision-making because of its statutory regime, including its codification of the business judgment rule and fiduciary duties of directors and officers, and can provide our Board and management with clearer guideposts to take action that will benefit our stockholders.

Thus, we believe that Nevada’s statute-based approach will provide greater certainty and predictability for our corporate decisions while also reducing the friction that may discourage or delay beneficial corporate transactions in Delaware’s increasingly litigious environment. As a result, we believe the Nevada Redomiciliation will enhance the Company’s ability to execute our business priorities, including by allowing the Company to more fully consider, and potentially enter into, advantageous business opportunities that our Board believes to be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

The Nevada Redomiciliation Will Reduce the Risk of Unmeritorious and Costly Litigation, Safeguarding Company Resources and Limiting Management Distraction

We believe that Nevada’s statute-based regime will also reduce the risk of unmeritorious litigation being brought against the Company and our directors and officers, which, in turn, will better allow our directors and officers to focus on the business and safeguard the Company’s resources.

The increasing frequency of unmeritorious and opportunistic claims and litigation in Delaware against corporations and their directors and officers creates unnecessary distraction and costs for businesses, especially for companies like ours in competitive and innovative industries where it is critical to be able to make business decisions in an agile and nimble manner. Responding to such litigation can be time-consuming and burdensome, both for the directors and officers involved and other members of Company management and employees. It is also expensive, with the costs of such litigation often borne by the Company’s stockholders through, among other things, indemnification obligations, distraction to Company management and employees, and increased insurance premiums.

As part of its evaluation of the Nevada Redomiciliation, our Board considered the 2025 DGCL Amendments that appear to be designed to, at least in part, reduce some of the litigation risk for Delaware corporations, but the 2025 DGCL Amendments remain subject to constitutional challenge before the Delaware Supreme Court, are untested and subject to judicial interpretation and application that may not fully mitigate a variety of litigation and business planning concerns for the Company. Our Board also considered the related Senate Concurrent Resolution requesting evaluation of the approach to plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fee awards in Delaware, the outcome of which is not yet known. However, even in light of these ongoing developments, we believe Nevada strikes a better balance between the benefits and costs of litigation to the Company and our stockholders than does Delaware because Nevada has a statute-focused approach to corporate law whereas Delaware’s approach still depends upon judicial interpretation that lends itself to greater uncertainty and engenders an increased risk of challenges to corporate actions, regardless of merit.

Thus, as a result of the increased certainty and predictability provided by Nevada law, the Nevada Redomiciliation will potentially provide greater protection from unmeritorious, expensive and protracted litigation claims challenging our corporate decisions and transactions, which, in turn, is expected to reduce the Company’s potential expense for significant litigation and insurance costs often associated with such claims.

Nevada Law May Enhance Our Ability to Attract Qualified Management and Directors

The increasing frequency of claims and litigation directed towards directors and officers has also greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of public companies in exercising their duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to these claims and to defend these types of litigation matters can be substantial. Although both Delaware and Nevada law afford some protections to directors and officers in the form of exculpation from potential liability for money damages for certain acts in their capacities as directors and

16

##### Table of Contents

officers, Nevada law affords potentially greater protections. Specifically, Delaware law permits a corporation to adopt provisions limiting or eliminating the liability of a director to a company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the duty of care, but not for breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct, or a knowing violation of law. Moreover, pursuant to a 2022 amendment to the DGCL, similar protections can be extended to senior officers of Delaware corporations in certain circumstances, but officers cannot be protected to the same degree as directors. For example, the DGCL does not permit a corporation to exculpate officers in connection with actions by or in the right of the corporation, including derivative actions by stockholders. Thus, although the Company, with stockholder approval, recently amended its certificate of incorporation to permit the exculpation of officers (in addition to directors) to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the protections provided by such provision are more limited for the Company’s officers.

By contrast, Nevada law permits a broader exclusion of individual liability of both officers and directors to a corporation and its stockholders. Specifically, under Nevada law, unless the articles of incorporation provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in their capacity as a director or officer unless (i) the presumption that the director or officer acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the company, has been rebutted; and (ii) it is proven that (a) the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of their fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (b) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Thus, as a practical matter, for any acts occurring after the Nevada Redomiciliation, the Nevada Redomiciliation will generally result in, among other things, the elimination of any liability of an officer or director for a breach of fiduciary duty, unless arising from intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. There is currently no known pending claim or litigation against any of our directors or officers for breach of fiduciary duty related to their service as directors or officers of the Company.

By potentially reducing the risk of lawsuits being filed against the Company’s directors and officers, we believe the Nevada Redomiciliation may help us attract and retain qualified management and directors.

In summary, for the reasons discussed above and throughout this proxy statement, we believe that the Nevada Redomiciliation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In the Board’s view, the increased certainty offered by Nevada law around corporate decision-making for transactions and other corporate actions that the Board determines to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, coupled with an expected reduction in the risk of litigation challenging those transactions or actions (except in the specific circumstances recognized by Nevada law), will promote the pursuit of value-maximizing business strategies, reduce the Company’s exposure to the substantial costs of corporate litigation and enhance stockholder value over the long term.

In reaching its decision to approve the Nevada Redomiciliation and to recommend that our stockholders vote in favor of this Proposal, the Board was aware and considered that a potential litigant might argue, and a court could determine, under Delaware law, that the directors and officers of the Company have an interest in the Nevada Redomiciliation to the extent that it might afford them greater limitations on liability to the Company or its stockholders under Nevada law for acts in their capacities as directors and officers occurring after the Nevada Redomiciliation. No such litigation presently is pending, and the Company is not aware of any threatened litigation of this sort. Nevertheless, as set forth above, the Board believes that the interests of the Company and its stockholders will greatly benefit from the proposed Nevada Redomiciliation, and therefore that the Nevada Redomiciliation is fully justified on such grounds and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, irrespective of any potential benefit to our directors and officers.

As also discussed above, the Nevada Redomiciliation could potentially provide us greater flexibility to consider and engage in certain types of corporate transactions that might provide stockholders an opportunity to realize greater value for their shares in the Company that the Board determines to be in the best interests of our stockholders. Nevada has enacted a statute codifying the business judgment rule and this statute has been interpreted by the Nevada Supreme Court as mandating application of the business judgment rule to transactions

##### Table of Contents

or corporate actions that, under Delaware law, may be subject to judicial review under the entire fairness standard. As a result, the Nevada Redomiciliation may allow the Company to accomplish certain types of transactions or take other corporate action with a reduced risk of litigation and/or a court overturning the business decisions of our Board, to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders. No such transactions or other corporate actions potentially implicating the entire fairness standard under Delaware law are currently being discussed or considered by the Board. Specifically, there are no such transactions or other corporate actions with Mr. Pomel, Mr. Lê-Quôc or any of our other directors or officers nor any changes to the Company’s compensation plans that would disproportionately benefit Mr. Pomel, Mr. Lê-Quôc or any of our other directors or officers currently under consideration. Consequently, the Nevada Redomiciliation is not being proposed to prevent a change in control, or as a response to any present attempt known to the Board to acquire or extend control of the Company or obtain representation on the Board. As a result, the decision to redomicile was made on a “clear day.” Nevertheless, certain effects of the proposed Nevada Redomiciliation may be considered to have anti-takeover implications by virtue of being subject to Nevada law.

Potential Risks Associated with the Nevada Redomiciliation

Although we believe that the Nevada Redomiciliation is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, there can be no assurance that the Nevada Redomiciliation will result in all or any of the benefits described in this proxy statement, including the benefits of or resulting from incorporation under Nevada or the application of Nevada law to the internal affairs of the Company.

For the Company’s comparison of stockholders’ rights and the material substantive provisions that apply to the board of directors and executive officers under Delaware and Nevada law, see “What Changes After the Nevada Redomiciliation?—Comparison of Stockholder Rights Under Delaware and Nevada Law.”

In considering the Nevada Redomiciliation, our Board also considered certain associated risks.

Extensive Delaware Case Law and Established Court System

The Delaware Court of Chancery and Delaware Supreme Court are highly respected and experienced business courts. Delaware has an extensive body of case law. Trials are before judges who are experts in corporate law and appointed for 12-year terms. Delaware statutory law is regularly updated by the legislature, which meets every year. The Delaware system has long been lauded for its expertise and the quality of its court system.

While Nevada also has encouraged incorporation in that state and has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible statutes that it periodically updates and revises to meet changing business needs, Nevada case law concerning the effects of its statutes and regulations is more limited. Nevada does not currently have a dedicated appointed business court. Currently, Nevada does have designated business court judges in two judicial districts, but those judges are elected for only six-year terms, hear cases in multiple areas of law, and generally do not issue written opinions. Nevada has commenced legislative action to create a dedicated business court with judges who are appointed for six-year terms, but that legislation would have to pass again in both legislative houses in 2027, obtain the requisite vote in a general election, and thereafter require further action by the legislature to create the court. As a result, we and our stockholders would not have the benefit of Delaware’s breadth of precedent to anticipate the legality of certain corporate affairs and transactions and stockholders’ rights to challenge them, particularly on matters as to which Nevada’s statutes do not provide a clear answer and a Nevada court must make a determination as a matter of first impression. Also, the Nevada legislature meets every two years, and thus updates to Nevada statutory law occur at most every other year.

Less Familiarity with Nevada

There have only been a limited number of redomiciliations in recent years. None of the Company’s competitors and only one of the Company’s compensation peers set forth in our 2025 proxy statement, filed with

the SEC on April 18, 2025, has undergone a redomiciliation to date. Additionally, the companies that have chosen Nevada as their initial state of incorporation to date have been of much smaller size. As a result, we will be one of the largest companies to choose to incorporate in Nevada and may suffer some reputational consequences for redomiciling at the beginning of the trend.

It is also possible that choosing to redomicile to a jurisdiction other than Delaware, whose corporate laws may be less understood or may be perceived to be less responsive to stockholder rights or demands, could impact the views or behaviors of certain proxy advisory firms, institutional investors and/or members of the financial services industry, as well as potential director and officer candidates, regarding the Company, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Certain Differences Between Delaware and Nevada Law

Although we and our Board believe that the rights of stockholders under the DGCL and the NRS are substantially equivalent, at least on balance of the relevant considerations against one another and as relevant to the Company, the DGCL and Delaware case law collectively are different in certain respects than the NRS and existing Nevada case law in ways that may affect the rights of our stockholders. Please see the Company’s summary of certain differences in the section titled “What Changes After the Nevada Redomiciliation?—Comparison of Stockholder Rights Under Delaware and Nevada Law.” For instance, as further explained below, under the NRS, a stockholder may inspect a Nevada corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws and ledger of record stockholders, subject to certain limitations, if such stockholder holds (or has been authorized by the holders of) at least 5% of the outstanding shares of stock of the Nevada corporation, or has been a stockholder of record for at least six months immediately preceding the demand. In addition, the NRS provides that a stockholder of record may inspect the books of account and financial statements of a Nevada corporation if such stockholder holds (or has been authorized by the holders of) at least 15% of the outstanding shares of stock of the Nevada corporation; however, these additional inspection rights may not be available for stockholders of publicly traded companies. The DGCL, on the other hand, does not require that a stockholder hold a certain number of shares or hold such shares for a stated period of time prior to exercising their books and records inspection rights. Thus, it is possible that some of our stockholders entitled to make a books and records demand today (as stockholders of a Delaware corporation) will not be able to make a similar demand following the Nevada Redomiciliation.

Further, the NRS expressly provides that directors or officers of a Nevada corporation may consider, or approve or take an action that factors in the interests of stakeholders other than the corporation’s stockholders, such as employees, suppliers and the community, and the long-term or short-term interests of the corporation or its stockholders. Under Delaware law, on the other hand, there is no express statutory authority to consider such purposes, and fiduciary duties in most circumstances require directors to seek to maximize the value of the corporation for the long-term benefit of the stockholders unless the corporation is specifically incorporated as a public benefit corporation. As a result, as a Nevada corporation, it is possible that our directors and officers may consider the interests of other constituencies in a manner different from what Delaware law may require.

Our Board has identified a handful of other areas where the rule in Nevada differs in some respect from the rule in Delaware. These are generally procedural in nature. The potentially most important area is related to antitakeover protections. Both Delaware and Nevada permit a range of anti-takeover defenses, including poison pills. Both states have prohibitions (unless statutorily mandated conditions are met) on business combinations with “interested” stockholders owning certain proportions of the outstanding shares, though they apply at different ownership thresholds and have differing moratorium periods: 15% of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock for three years in Delaware and 10% of the voting or investment power of the outstanding voting stock for up to four years in Nevada. The Nevada Corporation will opt-out of the Nevada business combination statutes.

Transaction Costs and Potential Litigation Risk

The Company will also incur certain non-recurring costs in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation, including certain filing fees and legal and other transaction costs. We may also face legal challenges in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation that, regardless of merit, could result in additional expense, distraction and time. A majority of these costs have already been incurred or will be incurred regardless of whether the Nevada Redomiciliation is ultimately approved and completed. Many of the expenses that will be incurred are difficult to accurately estimate at the present time, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation.

What Changes After the Nevada Redomiciliation?

The Nevada Redomiciliation will effect a change in the legal domicile of the Company and other changes, the most significant of which are described below. Following the Nevada Redomiciliation, we will be governed by the NRS instead of the DGCL, and we will be governed by the Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws, the forms of which are included as Appendix D and Appendix E, respectively, to this proxy statement. Approval of this Proposal will constitute approval of the Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws. Our current Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws will no longer be applicable following completion of the Nevada Redomiciliation. Copies of the Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws are available as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is available electronically to the public, free of charge, on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Comparison of Stockholder Rights Under Delaware and Nevada Law

The rights of our stockholders are currently governed by the DGCL, Delaware case law, the Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws. Following completion of the Nevada Redomiciliation, the rights of our stockholders will be governed by the NRS, Nevada case law, the Nevada Charter and the Nevada Bylaws.

The statutory corporate laws of Nevada, as set forth in the NRS, are similar in many respects to those of Delaware, as set forth in the DGCL. However, there are certain differences that may relate to your rights as a stockholder, as well as the corporate governance of the Company. The following are brief summaries of certain legal considerations relating to the current rights of stockholders of a Delaware corporation and the stockholders of a Nevada corporation and the corporate governance of a company in Delaware and in Nevada.

The following discussion does not provide a complete description of the differences that may affect you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NRS and the DGCL, the Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws, the Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws, and the body of case law in both jurisdictions, and some of the differences in the legal considerations below may not affect you in light of the provisions of the Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws, which opt in to or out of certain determinations as permitted under the NRS.

Increasing or Decreasing Authorized Capital Stock and Proportionately Increasing or Decreasing Issued and Outstanding Capital Stock |  | Delaware law does not have a provision permitting the board of directors of a corporation to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares in a class or series of the corporation’s shares and correspondingly effect a forward or reverse split of any class or series of the corporation’s shares (and change the par value thereof) without a vote of the stockholders. |  | The NRS allows the board of directors of a corporation, unless restricted by the articles of incorporation, to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares in a class or series of the corporation’s shares and correspondingly effect a forward or reverse split of the same class or series of the corporation’s shares (and change the par value thereof) without a vote of the stockholders, so long as the action taken does not adversely change or alter any right or preference of the

|  | The DGCL does permit a Delaware corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that no separate class vote(s) shall be required to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class, in which case, a share increase or decrease amendment would only need to be approved by the holders of all outstanding shares, voting together as a single class.

The NRS also provides that such increase or decrease in the number of authorized shares does not have to be approved by the vote of each class or series whose preferences or rights are adversely affected thereby if the articles of incorporation specifically deny the right to vote on such an increase or decrease. As described in more detail under “Certain Differences Between the Delaware Charter and Bylaws and the Nevada Charter and Bylaws—Charter Regarding Increases or Decreases in Authorized Stock” below, the Nevada Charter includes such a provision.
Classified Board of Directors |  | The DGCL permits a Delaware corporation to classify its board of directors into as many as three classes with staggered terms of office. If a board of directors is classified, the stockholders elect only one class each year and each class would have a term of office of up to three years. |  | The NRS also permits a Nevada corporation to classify its board of directors into any number of classes with staggered terms of office, so long as at least one-fourth of the total number of directors is elected annually.
Removal of Directors |  | Under the DGCL, the holders of a majority of shares of each class entitled to vote in an election of directors may vote to remove any director or the entire board with or without cause unless (i) the board of directors is classified, in which case directors may be removed only for cause (unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise); or (ii) the corporation has cumulative voting, in which case, if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his or her removal would be sufficient to elect him or her. |  | The NRS requires the vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote in an election of directors in order to remove a director or all of the directors. The articles of incorporation may provide for a voting threshold higher than two-thirds, but not lower. Furthermore, the NRS does not make a distinction between removal for cause and removal without cause.

Director Independence for Corporate Acts and Transactions |  | Under the 2025 DGCL Amendments, a “disinterested director” is defined as a director who is not party to the act or transaction being considered and who does not have a material interest in that act or transaction or a material relationship with a person that has a material interest in the act or transaction. A “material relationship” is defined as a familial, financial, professional, employment or other relationship that would be reasonably expected to impair the objectivity of the director’s judgment when participating in the authorization or approval of the act or transaction at issue. In addition, under the DGCL, any director of a corporation that has a class of stock listed on a national securities exchange is presumed to be a disinterested director with respect to an act or transaction to which that director is not a party if the board of directors has determined that the director satisfies the relevant criteria for determining director independence from the corporation and, if applicable, the controlling stockholder or control group, under any rules promulgated by the applicable exchange. This presumption may only be rebutted by substantial and particularized facts that the director has a material interest in the act or transaction or has a material relationship with a person with a material interest in the act or transaction. |  | In the amendments adopted to NRS Chapters 78 and 92A by the 2025 Nevada Legislature (the “2025 NRS Amendments”), the term “disinterested director” was defined in NRS 78.240 to include, without limitation, a director who does not have a material and nonspeculative financial interests in, nor is a party to, the contract or transaction being considered, and would satisfy the independence standards required to serve on an audit committee of a board of directors pursuant to the Exchange Act and certain rules promulgated thereunder and the rules of the applicable exchange. NRS 78.140 also provides a statutory framework for the approval of a transaction between a corporation and a director or officer who has an interest in that transaction, as described in more detail under “—Standard of Judicial Review of Board Decisions” below.
Fiduciary Duties |  | Under Delaware law, the standards of conduct for directors and officers have mostly developed through Delaware court case law. Generally, directors and officers must exercise a duty of care and a duty of loyalty to the corporation and its stockholders. In addition, under Delaware law, controlling stockholders of a corporation may owe fiduciary duties to the corporation and its minority stockholders in certain circumstances, including when the controlling stockholder is selling its |  | Fiduciary duties of directors and officers are codified in the NRS. Nevada law requires that directors and officers of Nevada corporations exercise their powers in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation. The NRS also provides as a matter of law that directors and officers are presumed to act in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation in making business decisions.

|  | shares or seeking to change the status quo using its voting power, although 2025 DGCL Amendments do provide that controlling stockholders and control groups, in their capacity as such, cannot be liable for monetary damages for breach of the duty of care. See “—Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Controlling Stockholders and Control Groups” below. |  | The NRS also specifies the fiduciary duties of controlling stockholders. In the 2025 NRS Amendments, NRS 78.240 was amended to provide that stockholders, as such, may vote in their personal interest and have no fiduciary duty to the corporation or any other stockholder, but controlling stockholders may owe the corporation and its stockholders a fiduciary duty to refrain from exerting undue influence over any director or officer with the purpose and proximate effect of inducing a breach of fiduciary duty by such director or officer in certain circumstances. The 2025 NRS Amendments further provide that a stockholder of a corporation is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in such person’s capacity as a stockholder unless: (i) the stockholder is a controlling stockholder; (ii) the presumption that the controlling stockholder did not breach its fiduciary duty under NRS 78.240(4) (as described in more detail under “—Standard of Judicial Review of Board Decisions” below) has been rebutted; and (iii) it is proven that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of the stockholder’s fiduciary duty.
Reliance |  | Members of the board of directors or any committee designated by the board of directors are entitled to rely in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports and statements presented to the corporation by corporate officers, employees, committees of the board of directors or other persons as to matters such member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence, provided that such other person has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the corporation. |  | In performing their duties, directors and officers may exercise their business judgment through reliance on information, opinions, reports, financial statements and other financial data prepared or presented by corporate directors, officers or employees who are reasonably believed to be reliable and competent. Reliance may also be extended to legal counsel, public accountants, advisers, bankers or other persons reasonably believed to be competent, and to the work of a committee (on which the particular director or officer does not serve) if the committee was established and empowered by the corporation’s board of directors, and if the committee’s work was within its designated authority and was about matters on which the

23

##### Table of Contents

|  |  |  | committee was reasonably believed to merit confidence. However, directors and officers may not rely on such information, opinions, reports, books of account or similar statements if they have knowledge concerning the matter in question that would make such reliance unwarranted. Nevada law extends the statutory protection for reliance on such persons to corporate officers.
Standard of Judicial Review of Board Decisions |  | So long as directors properly discharge their fiduciary duties of care and loyalty when managing a corporation, under Delaware case law, their decisions will generally be protected by the presumption of the business judgment rule, under which a court will not second guess an unconflicted business decision made by the board of directors unless such decision cannot be attributed to “any rational business purpose.” However, in certain circumstances, Delaware courts may instead apply different heightened levels of scrutiny, including in the case of: (i) conflicted transactions, which include transactions involving a controlling stockholder or other related party; (ii) adoption of defensive measures; (iii) actions infringing on the stockholder franchise (i.e., stockholder voting); and (iv) change of control transactions. In those cases, a court will scrutinize not only the board of directors’ decision-making process but also the substance of the decision. Section 144 of the DGCL provides that a transaction between a corporation and a director or officer who has an interest in that transaction (but that is not a controlling stockholder transaction) is entitled to statutory safe harbor protection if: (i) the transaction is approved in good faith and without gross negligence by a majority of disinterested directors on the board or a committee of the board and the material facts regarding the director’s or officer’s relationship with or interest in |  | NRS 78.138 provides for a statutory business judgment rule, which presumes that directors and officers acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation, and allows for director or officer liability only when the plaintiff affirmatively rebuts the business judgment rule presumption and proves (i) a breach of fiduciary duty; and (ii) that the breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The statutory business judgment rule is generally the sole standard for any analysis involving fiduciary duty claims against corporate directors and officers in Nevada, regardless of the circumstances or the parties involved in the transactions (including the presence of a controlling stockholder). However, in the narrow circumstances of an action to resist a change or potential change in control that impedes the rights of stockholders to vote for or remove directors, directors will only be given the benefit of the presumption of the business judgment rule if the directors have reasonable grounds to believe a threat to corporate policy and effectiveness exists and the action taken that impedes the exercise of the stockholders’ rights is reasonable in relation to such threat. The NRS also expressly provides that this precondition to the application of the business judgment rule does not apply to poison pills or actions that only affect the time of the exercise of stockholders’ voting rights.

|  | the transaction have been disclosed to the board or board committee approving the transaction; or (ii) the transaction is approved or ratified by an informed, uncoerced, affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the disinterested stockholders. Pursuant to the 2025 DGCL Amendments to Section 144 of the DGCL, a controlling stockholder transaction that does not constitute a “going private transaction” is entitled to statutory safe harbor protection if it is (i) approved in good faith by a committee consisting of a majority of disinterested directors; or (ii) approved or ratified by a majority of the votes cast by the disinterested stockholders and the material facts regarding the transaction have been disclosed to the committee approving, or the disinterested stockholders voting on, the transaction. The “entire fairness” standard of judicial review under Delaware law applies to transactions involving a controlling stockholder for which the safe harbors under amended Section 144 of the DGCL are not available. The entire fairness standard places the burden on the board of directors to demonstrate both fair dealing (i.e., process) and fair price. |  | NRS 78.140 provides a statutory framework for the approval of a transaction between a corporation and a director or officer who has an interest in that transaction. Under the framework, an interested transaction will not be void or voidable if: (i) the interest is disclosed to the board of directors or a committee thereof, and the disinterested directors or committee members approve the transaction in good faith; (ii) the interest is disclosed to the stockholders of the corporation, and the stockholders holding a majority of the voting power approve or ratify the transaction in good faith; (iii) the interest is not known to the interested director or officer at the time the transaction is brought before the board of directors for action; or (iv) the transaction is fair to the corporation at the time it is authorized or approved. Pursuant to the 2025 NRS Amendments, NRS 78.240(4) was amended to provide that a controlling stockholder is entitled to the presumption that such stockholder did not breach its fiduciary duty with respect to a contract or transaction to which such controlling stockholder is a party or has a material and nonspeculative financial interest if such contract of transaction has been authorized or approved by (i) a committee consisting of only disinterested directors; or (ii) the board of directors in reliance on the recommendation of a committee consisting of only disinterested directors.
Considerations by Directors Permitted by Statute |  | The DGCL does not provide directors with statutory authority to consider any constituencies other than stockholders in making decisions. Delaware case law provides that fiduciary duties in most circumstances require directors to seek to maximize the value of the corporation for the long-term benefit of the stockholders. |  | In exercising their powers, including in response to a change or potential change of control, directors and officers of Nevada corporations may consider all relevant facts, circumstances, contingencies or constituencies, which may include, without limitation, the effect of the decision on relevant corporate constituencies. The NRS includes a nonexclusive list of such constituencies, which include the corporation’s employees, suppliers, creditors and customers, the economy of the state and

25

##### Table of Contents

Issue |  | Delaware |  | Nevada
|  |  |  | nation, the interests of the community and society in general, and the long-term as well as short-term interests of the corporation and of the stockholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation. To underscore the discretion of directors and officers of Nevada corporations, the NRS specifically states that such directors and officers are not required to consider the effect of a proposed corporate action upon any constituent as a dominant factor. Further, a director may resist a change or potential change in control of the corporation if the board of directors determines that the change or potential change of control is opposed to or not in the best interest of the corporation upon consideration of any relevant facts, circumstances, contingencies or constituencies, including that there are reasonable grounds to believe that, within a reasonable time the corporation or any successor would be or become insolvent subjected to bankruptcy proceedings.
Standard of Review for Change of Control Transactions |  | Under Delaware case law, a decision to seek to sell, or not to sell, a corporation is generally a business decision protected by the business judgment rule. However, once a board of directors decides to proceed with a sale of the corporation or such a sale becomes inevitable, then under Delaware case law the primary responsibility of the board of directors becomes to obtain the best price reasonably available for stockholders and the board of directors must prioritize this over other goals. Pursuant to the 2025 DGCL Amendments to Section 144 of the DGCL, a controlling stockholder transaction constituting a “going private transaction” is entitled to statutory safe harbor protection if it is approved in good faith by a committee consisting of a majority of disinterested directors and approved or ratified by a |  | Under the NRS, director actions taken in response to a change or potential change in control are generally granted the benefits of the business judgment rule, except with respect to an action to resist a change or potential change in control that impedes the rights of stockholders to vote for or remove directors, in which case there is a precondition to the application of the business judgment rule, as described above. NRS 78.240(4) provides that a controlling stockholder is entitled to the presumption that such stockholder did not breach its fiduciary duty with respect to a contract or transaction to which such controlling stockholder is a party or has a material and nonspeculative financial interest if such contract of transaction has been authorized or approved by (i) a committee consisting of only disinterested directors; or (ii) the board of directors in reliance on

Nevada’s codified business judgment rule applies to judicial review of director and officer actions in the context of a transaction with a controlling stockholder. See “—Standard of Judicial Review of Board Decisions” above. In addition, the NRS provides a framework for approval of a transaction between a corporation and a director or officer who has an interest in that transaction, as described in more detail under “—Standard of Judicial Review of Board Decisions” above.
Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Controlling Stockholders and Control Groups |  | The DGCL permits a Delaware corporation to adopt a provision in its certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, unlawful repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit. However, under Delaware law, the exculpation of certain senior officers of a corporation (namely, the chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, chief legal officer, controller, treasurer and chief accounting officer, as well as any other persons identified as “named executive officers” in a corporation’s most recent SEC filings) is authorized only in connection with direct claims brought by stockholders, including class actions; it does not eliminate monetary liability of officers for breach of fiduciary duty arising out of claims brought by the corporation itself or for derivative claims brought by stockholders in the name of the corporation. Under the 2025 DGCL Amendments, no person who is a controlling stockholder or a member of a control group will be liable in that capacity to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for |  | Under the NRS, a director or officer of a Nevada corporation is not liable unless the presumption that such person acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation has been rebutted. In addition, it must be proven both (i) that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer; and (ii) that such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, which is arguably a more stringent burden than a breach of the duty of loyalty or deriving an improper personal benefit under the DGCL. In addition, the NRS provision limiting the personal liability of directors and officers applies to individual liability of directors and officers to the corporation, its stockholders and creditors. Furthermore, under the NRS, it is not necessary to adopt provisions in the articles of incorporation limiting personal liability of directors as this limitation is provided by statute. Thus, the NRS provides broader protection from personal liability for directors and officers than the DGCL. Nevada’s codified business judgment rule applies to judicial review of director and officer actions in the context of a transaction with a controlling stockholder. See “—Standard of Judicial Review of Board Decisions” above.

A “controlling stockholder” is defined under the DGCL to mean any person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, either (i) owns or controls a majority in voting power of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or (ii) has the power functionally equivalent of that of a stockholder that owns or controls a majority in voting power of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors by virtue of ownership or control of at least one-third in voting power of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or for the election of directors who have a majority in voting power of the votes of all directors on the board of directors and power to exercise managerial authority over the business and affairs of the corporation. A “control group” is defined under the DGCL to mean two or more persons who are not controlling stockholders who, by virtue of an agreement, arrangement or understanding between or among those persons, constitute a controlling stockholder. |  | In addition, the NRS provides a framework for approval of a transaction between a corporation and a director or officer who has an interest in that transaction, as described in more detail under “—Standard of Judicial Review of Board Decisions” above. Pursuant to the 2025 NRS Amendments, NRS 78.240 was amended to provide that stockholders, as such, may vote in their personal interest and have no fiduciary duty to the corporation or any other stockholder, but controlling stockholders may owe the corporation and its stockholders a fiduciary duty to refrain from exerting undue influence over any director or officer with the purpose and proximate effect of inducing a breach of fiduciary duty by such director or officer for which breach the director or officer is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 and which breach directly relates to the initiation, evaluation, negotiation, authorization or approval by the board or a committee of a contract or transaction to which the controlling stockholder or any of its affiliates or associates is a party or in which any of them has a material and nonspeculative financial interest, and results in a material nonspeculative and non-ratable financial benefit to the controlling stockholder, which benefit excludes, and results in a material and nonspeculative detriment to, the other stockholders generally. This statute further provides that a stockholder of a corporation is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in such person’s capacity as a stockholder unless: (i) the stockholder is a controlling stockholder; (ii) the presumption that the controlling stockholder did not breach its fiduciary duty under NRS 78.240(4) (as described in more detail under “—Standard of Judicial Review of Board Decisions” above) has been rebutted; and (iii) it is proven that the act or failure to

A “controlling stockholder” is defined under the NRS to mean a stockholder of the corporation having the voting power, by virtue of such stockholder’s relative beneficial ownership of shares or otherwise pursuant to the articles of incorporation, to elect at least a majority of the corporation’s directors.
Indemnification |  | Under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation is permitted to indemnify any person who is a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, to which such director, officer, employee or agent may be a party or threatened to be made a party, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and in the case of a criminal proceeding, that he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful). In connection with any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation involving a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify a person who is a party or is threatened to be made a party for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) |  | The NRS generally permits a Nevada corporation to indemnify any director or officer who acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and, in the case of an action involving a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful). Under the NRS, the person seeking indemnity may also be indemnified if he or she is not liable for his or her actions under NRS 78.138. Under the statutory indemnification regime under the NRS, the corporation, through its stockholders, directors or independent legal counsel, must determine that the indemnification is proper. The NRS provides that a corporation shall indemnify any person who is a director, officer, employee or agent to the extent that the person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or any claim, issue or matter therein, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the

This is not exclusive of any other indemnification rights, which may be granted by a Delaware corporation to its directors, officers, employees or agents. The DGCL also requires mandatory indemnification for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred with respect to any claim, issue or matter on which the director or “officer” (as defined for purposes of Section 145(c) of the DGCL) is successful on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding. |  | person in connection with defending the action, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees. Under the NRS, indemnification pursuant to the statutory mechanisms available under the NRS, as described above, does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, but unless ordered by a court, indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of any appeals taken therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, and such misconduct, fraud or violation was material to the cause of action.
Advancement of Expenses |  | The DGCL provides that expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. |  | Under the NRS, unless otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation, the corporation may advance expenses as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may require the corporation to pay such expenses upon receipt of such an undertaking.

Director Compensation |  | The DGCL does not have a specific statute governing either the establishment of director compensation or the fairness of director compensation. |  | The NRS provides that, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, the board of directors (or a committee thereof), without regard to personal interest, may establish the compensation of directors for services in any capacity. If the board of directors so establishes the compensation of directors, such compensation is presumed to be fair to the corporation unless proven unfair by a preponderance of the evidence.
Actions by Written Consent of Stockholders |  | The DGCL provides that, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if the holders of outstanding stock having at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting of stockholders consent to the action in writing. In addition, the DGCL requires a corporation to give prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those stockholders who did not consent in writing. |  | The NRS provides that, unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provides otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the meeting, the holders of outstanding stock having at least a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the corporation, or a different proportion of voting power if required for such action at the meeting, consent to the action in writing. Unlike the DGCL, the NRS does not impose notice requirements in connection with stockholder action by written consent.
Dividends and Distributions |  | Unless further restricted in the certificate of incorporation, the DGCL permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of either (i) surplus; or (ii) if no surplus exists, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year (provided that the amount of capital of the corporation is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets). The DGCL defines “surplus” as the excess, at any time, of the net assets of a corporation over its stated capital. In addition, the DGCL provides that a corporation may redeem or repurchase its shares only when the capital of the corporation is not impaired and only if such redemption or repurchase would not cause any impairment of the capital of a corporation. |  | The NRS provides that no distribution (including dividends on, or redemption or purchases of, shares of capital stock or distributions of indebtedness) may be made if, after giving effect to such distribution, (i) the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (ii) except as otherwise specifically permitted by the articles of incorporation, the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed at the time of a dissolution to satisfy the preferential rights of preferred stockholders. Directors may consider financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices that are reasonable in the circumstances, a fair valuation, including but not limited to unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and any other method that is reasonable in the circumstances.

Restrictions on Business Combinations |  | Under Section 203 of the DGCL, certain “business combinations” with “interested stockholders” of a corporation are subject to a three-year moratorium unless specified conditions are met. For purposes of Section 203, the term “business combination” is defined broadly to include: (i) mergers with or caused by the interested stockholder; (ii) sales or other dispositions to the interested stockholder (except proportionately with the corporation’s other stockholders) of assets of the corporation or a subsidiary equal to 10% or more of the aggregate market value of either the corporation’s consolidated assets or its outstanding stock; (iii) the issuance or transfer by the corporation or a subsidiary of stock of the corporation or such subsidiary to the interested stockholder (except for transfers in a conversion or exchange or a pro rata distribution or certain other transactions, none of which increase the interested stockholder’s proportionate ownership of any class or series of the corporation’s or such subsidiary’s stock); or (iv) receipt by the interested stockholder (except proportionately as a stockholder), directly or indirectly, of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation or a subsidiary. The three-year moratorium imposed on business combinations by Section 203 of the DGCL does not apply if: (i) prior to the time on which such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the corporation’s voting stock upon consummation of the transaction that made him or her an interested stockholder (excluding from the 85% calculation shares owned by directors who are also officers of the target corporation and shares held by employee stock plans that do not permit employees to decide |  | Unlike Delaware’s three-year moratorium on business combinations, the Nevada combinations statutes impose a two-year moratorium that extends to prohibit a business combination for up to four years, unless certain conditions are met. NRS 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, regulate combinations more stringently than Section 203 of the DGCL. First, an interested stockholder is defined as a beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power. Second, the two-year moratorium can be lifted only by: (i) advance approval of the combination, or the transaction by which such person first becomes an interested stockholder, by the corporation’s board of directors; (ii) approval of the combination by the board of directors and 60% of the corporation’s voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates; or (iii) the combination meets specified fair value requirements. Finally, after the two-year period, a combination remains prohibited unless: (i) the combination or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder is approved in advance by the board of directors as described above; (ii) the combination is approved by a majority of the outstanding voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder and its affiliates and associates; or (iii) the combination meets specified fair value requirements. But note that these statutes do not apply to any combination of a corporation and an interested stockholder after the expiration of four years after the person first became an interested stockholder. The combinations statutes in Nevada apply only to Nevada corporations with 200 or more stockholders of record. Companies are entitled to opt out of the business combination provisions. Any opt-out of the business combination provisions of the NRS must be contained in the original articles of incorporation, or

Corporations are entitled to opt out of the business combination provisions in their certificate of incorporation. |  | an amendment to the articles of incorporation approved by a majority of the outstanding voting power not then beneficially owned by interested stockholders or their affiliates and associates, but the amendment would not be effective until 18 months after the vote of the stockholders to approve the amendment, and would not apply to any combination with a person who first became an interested stockholder on or before the effective date of the amendment.
Acquisition of Controlling Interests |  | Delaware law does not have control share acquisition provisions. |  | Pursuant to Nevada’s “acquisition of controlling interest” statutes (NRS 78.379 – 78.3793), any person who acquires a “controlling interest” in a corporation may not exercise voting rights on any control shares unless such voting rights are conferred by a majority vote of the disinterested stockholders of the issuing corporation at a special meeting of such stockholders held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. NRS 78.3785 provides that a “controlling interest” means the ownership of outstanding voting shares of an issuing corporation sufficient to enable the acquiring person, individually or in association with others, directly or indirectly, to exercise: (i) one fifth or more but less than one third; (ii) one third or more but less than a majority; or (iii) a majority or more of the voting power of the issuing corporation in the election of directors, and once an acquirer crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the transaction taking it over the threshold and within the 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person acquired or offered to acquire a controlling interest become “control shares” to which the voting restrictions described above apply. In the event that the control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person acquires control shares with a majority or more of all the voting power, any stockholder, other than the acquiring person, who does not vote in favor of

|  |  |  | authorizing voting rights for the control shares is entitled to demand payment for the fair value of such person’s shares, and the corporation must comply with the demand. NRS 78.378(1) provides that the control share statutes of the NRS do not apply to any acquisition of a controlling interest in an issuing corporation if the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation in effect on the 10th day following the acquisition of a controlling interest by the acquiring person provide that the provisions of those sections do not apply to the corporation or to an acquisition of a controlling interest specifically by types of existing or future stockholders, whether or not identified. In addition, NRS 78.3788 provides that the controlling interest statutes apply as of a particular date only to a corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on the corporation’s stock ledger at all times during the 90 days immediately preceding that date, and which does business directly or indirectly in Nevada. NRS 78.378(2) provides that the corporation may impose stricter requirements if it so desires. Corporations are entitled to opt out of the above controlling interest provisions of the NRS in their articles of incorporation or bylaws.
Stockholder Vote for Mergers and Other Corporate Reorganizations |  | Under the DGCL, unless the certificate of incorporation specifies a higher percentage, the stockholders of a corporation that is being acquired in a merger or selling all or substantially all of its assets must authorize such merger or sale of assets by vote of a majority of outstanding shares (or voting power of the outstanding shares) entitled to vote. The corporation’s board of directors must also approve such transaction. The DGCL does not require a stockholder vote of a constituent corporation in a |  | Under the NRS, a merger or sale of all assets requires authorization by stockholders of the corporation being acquired or selling its assets by at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, as well as approval of such corporation’s board of directors. Although a substantial body of case law has been developed in Delaware as to what constitutes the “sale of substantially all of the assets” of a corporation, it is difficult to determine the point at which a sale of virtually all, but less than all, of a corporation’s assets

It is possible that certain sales of less than all of the assets of a corporation requiring stockholder authorization under Delaware law would not require stockholder authorization under Nevada law. The NRS does not require a stockholder vote of the surviving corporation in a merger under substantially similar circumstances as under the DGCL, as described in the opposite column.
Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights |  | Under Section 262 of the DGCL, appraisal rights are generally available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a Delaware corporation in a merger, consolidation or conversion, provided that no appraisal rights are available with respect to shares of any class or series of stock if, at the record date for the meeting held to approve such transaction, such shares of stock, or depositary receipts in respect thereof, are either (i) listed on a national securities exchange; or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders, unless the stockholders receive in exchange for their shares anything other than shares of stock of the surviving or resulting corporation (or depositary receipts in respect thereof), or of any other corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange or held by more than 2,000 holders of record, cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depositary receipts described above or any combination of the foregoing. Under the DGCL, no appraisal rights are available to |  | Under the NRS, a stockholder is entitled to dissent from, and obtain payment for, the fair value of the stockholder’s shares in the event of: (i) accordance of full voting rights under certain circumstances in connection with certain acquisitions of a controlling interest in the corporation; (ii) consummation of a plan of merger, if approval by the stockholders is required for the merger, regardless of whether the stockholder is entitled to vote on the merger or if the domestic corporation is a subsidiary and is merged with its parent, or if the domestic corporation is a constituent entity in a merger pursuant to NRS 92A.133; (iii) consummation of a plan of conversion to which the corporation is a party; (iv) consummation of a plan of exchange in which the corporation is a party; (v) any corporate action taken pursuant to a vote of the stockholders, if the articles of incorporation, bylaws or a resolution of the board of directors provides that voting or nonvoting stockholders are entitled to

|  | stockholders of the surviving or resulting corporation in a merger if the merger did not require their approval. In addition, Section 262 of the DGCL allows beneficial owners of shares to file a petition for appraisal without the need to name a nominee holding such shares on behalf of such owner as a nominal plaintiff and makes it easier than under Nevada law to withdraw from the appraisal process and accept the terms offered in the action giving rise to appraisal rights. |  | dissent and obtain payment for their shares; or (vi) any corporate action to which the stockholder would be obligated, as a result of the corporate action, to accept money or scrip rather than receive a fraction of a share in exchange for the cancellation of all the stockholder’s outstanding shares, except where the stockholder would not be entitled to receive such payment pursuant to NRS 78.205, 78.2055 or 78.207. Holders of covered securities (generally those that are listed on a national securities exchange) or shares traded in an organized market and held by at least 2,000 stockholders of record with a market value of at least $20,000,000 are generally not entitled to dissenter’s rights. However, this exception is not available if: (i) the articles of incorporation of the corporation issuing the shares provide that such exception is not available; (ii) the resolution of the board of directors approving the plan of merger, conversion or exchange expressly provides otherwise; or (iii) the holders of the class or series of stock are required by the terms of the corporate action to accept for the shares anything except cash, shares of stock or other securities as described in NRS 92A.390(3) or any combination thereof. The NRS prohibits a dissenting stockholder from voting his or her shares or receiving certain dividends or distributions after his or her dissent.
Special Meetings of the Stockholders |  | The DGCL permits special meetings of stockholders to be called by the board of directors or by any other person authorized in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws to call a special stockholder meeting. |  | The NRS permits special meetings of stockholders to be called by the entire board of directors, any two directors or the President, unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise.
Special Meetings Pursuant to Petition of Stockholders for Election of Directors |  | The DGCL provides that a director or a stockholder of a corporation may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery if the corporation fails to hold an annual meeting for the election of directors or there is no written consent to elect |  | Under the NRS, stockholders having not less than 15% of the voting interest may petition the district court to order a meeting for the election of directors if a corporation fails to call a meeting for that

Adjournment of Stockholder Meetings |  | Under the DGCL, if a meeting of stockholders is adjourned and the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. |  | Under the NRS, a corporation is not required to give any notice of an adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless the board of directors of the corporation fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting or the meeting date is adjourned to a date more than 60 days later than the date set for the original meeting, in which case a new record date must be fixed and notice given.
Duration of Proxies |  | Under the DGCL, a proxy executed by a stockholder will remain valid for a period of three years, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. |  | Under the NRS, a proxy is effective only for a period of six months, unless otherwise provided in the proxy, which duration may not exceed seven years. The NRS also provides for irrevocable proxies, for as long as they are coupled with an interest, in limited circumstances.
Quorum |  | The DGCL provides that the certificate of incorporation or bylaws may establish quorum requirements, but in no event will a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote. If the certificate of incorporation and bylaws are silent as to specific quorum requirements: (i) a majority of the shares or voting power of the shares entitled to vote will constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders; and (ii) where a separate vote by a class or series is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series will constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. |  | The NRS provides that, unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise, a majority of the voting power of the corporation, present in person or by proxy at a meeting of stockholders (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter), constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.

Under the DGCL, if a corporation has classes of stock outstanding that have different voting rights, then references in the DGCL to a majority of other proportion of stock or shares are deemed to refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes of such stock or shares. A bylaw amendment adopted by stockholders which specifies the votes that will be necessary for the election of directors cannot be further amended or repealed by the board of directors. |  | exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action. Unless provided otherwise in the corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, directors are elected at the annual meeting of stockholders by plurality vote.
Stockholder Inspection Rights |  | Under the DGCL, any stockholder may inspect, and make copies and extracts from, a Delaware corporation’s books and records during normal business hours for any proper purpose upon written demand under oath if: (i) the stockholder’s demand is made in good faith and for a proper purpose (i.e., a purpose reasonably related to a stockholder’s interest as a stockholder); (ii) the stockholder’s demand describes with reasonable particularity the stockholder’s purpose and the books and records the stockholder seeks to inspect; and (iii) the books and records sought are specifically related to the stockholder’s purpose.

In addition, the NRS grants certain stockholders the right to inspect, make copies of and audit the books of account and financial statements of a corporation for any purpose related to the requesting stockholders’ interest in the corporation as a stockholder. The right to inspect the books of account and financial statements of a corporation, to make copies of records and to conduct an audit of such records is granted only to a stockholder of record who owns at least 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of a Nevada corporation, or who has been authorized in writing by the holders of at least 15% of such shares. However, this right does not apply with respect to any corporation that furnishes to its stockholders a detailed annual financial statement or any corporation that has filed during the preceding 12 months all reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Business Opportunities |  | Under Delaware law, the corporate opportunity doctrine holds that a corporate officer or director may not generally and unilaterally take a business opportunity for his or her own if: (i) the corporation is financially able to exploit the opportunity; (ii) the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; (iii) the corporation has an interest or expectancy in the opportunity; and (iv) by taking the opportunity for his or her own, the corporate fiduciary will thereby be placed in a position inimical to his duties to the corporation. The DGCL permits a Delaware corporation to renounce, in its certificate of incorporation or by action of the board of directors, any interest or expectancy of the corporation in, or being offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities or specified classes or categories of business opportunities that are presented to the corporation or one or more of its officers, directors or stockholders. |  | The NRS permits a Nevada corporation to renounce, in its articles of incorporation or by action of the board of directors, any interest or expectancy to participate in specified business opportunities or specified classes or categories of business opportunities that are presented to the corporation or one or more of its officers, directors or stockholders.

Certain Differences Between the Delaware Charter and Bylaws and the Nevada Charter and Bylaws

Following completion of the Nevada Redomiciliation, the Company will be governed by the NRS instead of the DGCL, as well as by the Nevada Charter and the Nevada Bylaws. Our current Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws will no longer be applicable following completion of the Nevada Redomiciliation.

The Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws differ in certain respects from the Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws. Set forth below is a table summarizing certain material differences in the rights of our stockholders under Nevada and Delaware law under the respective charters and bylaws. This chart does not address each difference, but focuses on those differences that we believe are most relevant to our stockholders. This chart is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws, the Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws and the NRS and the DGCL.

Provision |  | Delaware Charter and Bylaws |  | Nevada Charter and Bylaws
Charter Regarding Increases or Decreases in Authorized Stock |  | The Delaware Charter provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the number of authorized shares of any class of stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then-outstanding), without a separate class vote, by a vote of the holders of the stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. |  | The Nevada Charter provides, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the number of authorized shares of any class or series of stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then-outstanding), without a separate class vote, by the vote of the holders of the stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, and that any right to a separate class vote pursuant to NRS 78.207(3) or NRS 78.390(2) (which relates to reverse stock splits or charter amendments that modify the number of authorized shares having an adverse effect on a particular class or series of stock) is specifically denied.
Charter Regarding Dividends and Distributions |  | The Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws do not contain any provisions modifying the default provisions under the DGCL with respect to dividends (as described under “—Dividends and Distributions” above). |  | The Nevada Charter provides that the Company is allowed to make any distribution that otherwise would be prohibited by NRS 78.288(2)(b), which means the Company may make a distribution even if its total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the Company were to be dissolved immediately after the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon such dissolution of holders of shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company having preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

Provision |  | Delaware Charter and Bylaws |  | Nevada Charter and Bylaws
Charter Regarding Limitation of Liability |  | The Delaware Charter provides that the liability of directors and officers for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Under the DGCL, this means that exculpation is not permitted: (i) for any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for the payment of unlawful dividends, stock repurchases or redemptions; (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; or (v) in the case of officers, for any action by or in the right of the Company. |  | The Nevada Charter provides that the individual liability of directors and officers for damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer, including for breach of a fiduciary duty, shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under the NRS as it is in effect now, or if the NRS is amended to authorize corporate action to further eliminate or limit the liability of directors or officers, as so amended. Under the NRS, this does not exclude exculpation for breaches of duty of loyalty.
Charter Regarding Forum Adjudication for Disputes |  | The Delaware Charter provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to an alternative forum, the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Delaware Charter or the Delaware Bylaws; (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Delaware Charter or Delaware Bylaws; (v) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to such court; or (vi) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director, officer, other employee or stockholder of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants; provided, however, that such provision shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the |  | The Nevada Charter provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to an alternative forum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in Clark County, Nevada (or, if the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other district court of the State of Nevada, or, in the event that no district court of the State of Nevada has jurisdiction over a particular matter, then the U.S. federal district courts in the State of Nevada) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought in the name or right or on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action, suit or proceeding for or based upon any breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or controlling stockholder of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any other “internal action” (as defined in NRS 78.046), including any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of NRS Title 7, the Nevada Charter, the Nevada Bylaws or any agreement entered in to pursuant to NRS 78.365; (iv) any action, suit or proceeding as to which the NRS confers jurisdiction to such court; or (v) any

Any person holding, owning or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of the Company’s capital stock are deemed to have notice of and to have consented to all of the provisions of the Nevada Articles, Nevada Bylaws and any amendments thereto.
Waiver of Jury Trials |  | There is no corresponding provision in the Delaware Charter or Delaware Bylaws. Jury trials are generally not available in the Delaware Court of Chancery, which is the exclusive venue designated by the Delaware Charter for actions governed by the internal affairs doctrine. |  | The Nevada Charter provides that, to the fullest extent not inconsistent with any applicable U.S. federal laws, all “internal actions” (as defined in NRS 78.046) must be tried in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Nevada before the presiding judge as the trier of fact and not before a jury.
Charter Regarding Severability of Invalid, Illegal or Unenforceable Provisions |  | There is no corresponding provision in the Delaware Charter or Delaware Bylaws. |  | The Nevada Charter provides that if any provision(s) of the Nevada Charter are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision(s) in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of the Nevada Charter will not, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any

Charter Regarding Business Combinations |  | The Delaware Charter does not contain a corresponding provision opting out of the business combination provisions set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL. For a summary of the Delaware business combination provisions, see “Comparison of Stockholder Rights Under Delaware and Nevada Law—Restrictions on Business Combinations” above. |  | The Nevada Charter contains a provision opting out of the business combination provisions set forth in NRS 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive. For a summary of the Nevada business combination provisions, see “Comparison of Stockholder Rights Under Delaware and Nevada Law—Restrictions on Business Combinations” above.
Charter and Bylaws Regarding Removal of Directors |  | The Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws provide that directors may only be removed as provided in Section 141 of the DGCL, which provides that, for so long as the Board is classified, any director may only be removed for cause and by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors. |  | The Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws provide that directors may be removed as provided in NRS 78.335, which provides that directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, which is the lowest permitted voting threshold for removal of a director under the NRS.
Bylaws Regarding Stockholder Ability to Call Special Meetings |  | The Delaware Bylaws provide that special meetings of the Company’s stockholders may only be called by the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairperson of the Board. |  | The Nevada Bylaws also provide that special meetings of the Company’s stockholders may only be called by the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairperson of the Board.

Bylaws Regarding Indemnification |  | The Delaware Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in a proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or “executive officer” (as defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Company or, while serving as a director or executive officer of the Company, is or was serving at the Company’s request as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, , whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or executive officer of the Company or in any other capacity, against all liability, loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such person; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify such person in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by any such person unless: (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law; (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board; (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under the DGCL; or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under the Delaware Bylaws. The Company is also permitted to indemnify its other officers, employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL. |  | The Nevada Bylaws similarly provide that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in a proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or “executive officer” (as defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Company, or while serving as a director or executive officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, or as a manager of a limited liability company, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or executive officer of the Company or in any other capacity while serving as a director or, executive officer or otherwise at the request of the Company, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such person; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify such person in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by any such person unless: (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law; (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board; (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the NRS; or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under the Nevada Bylaws. The Company is also permitted to indemnify its other officers, employees and agents as set forth in the NRS.
Bylaws Regarding Expense Advancement |  | The Delaware Bylaws require the Company to advance to any current or former director or “executive officer” (as defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Company, or to any person who, while serving as a director or executive officer of the Company, is or was serving at the |  | The Nevada Bylaws similarly require the Company to advance to any current or former director or “executive officer” (as defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Company, or to any person who, while serving as a director or executive officer of the Company, is or was serving at the

The Delaware Bylaws further provide that the Company may not advance expenses to a current or former executive officer (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the Company) if a determination is made by a majority of disinterested directors of the Board, even if not a quorum, a committee thereof or independent legal counsel that the facts known at the time of such determination demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person does not meet the standards of conduct for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. |  | Company’s request as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or as a manager of a limited liability company, promptly following a request therefore, all expenses reasonably incurred in defending (or participating as a witness in) any indemnifiable proceeding; provided, however, that an advancement of expenses incurred by a current or former director or executive officer of the Company in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses. The Nevada Bylaws further provide that the Company may not advance expenses to a current or former executive officer (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the Company) if a determination is made by a majority of disinterested directors of the Board, even if not a quorum, a committee thereof or independent legal counsel that the facts known at the time of such determination demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person does not meet the standards of conduct for indemnification set forth in the NRS.
Bylaws Regarding Changes in Law |  | There is no corresponding provision in the Delaware Charter or Delaware Bylaws. |  | The Nevada Bylaws provide that any references to the laws of the State of Nevada or the NRS (or any provision thereof) contained in the Nevada Bylaws shall be to such law as it existed on the date the Nevada Bylaws were adopted or as such law thereafter may be changed, provided that (i) in the case of any change which expands the liability of directors or officers or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses provided in the Nevada Charter or Nevada Bylaws, then the rights to

Bylaws Regarding Length of Proxies |  | Consistent with the DGCL, the Delaware Bylaws provide that no proxy authorized by a stockholder shall be valid after three years from the date of its execution unless the proxy provides for a longer period. |  | Consistent with the NRS, the Nevada Bylaws provide that no proxy is valid after the expiration of six months from the date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period of up to seven years, or unless the proxy is irrevocable.
Bylaws Regarding Quorum |  | The Delaware Bylaws provide that, except where otherwise required by statute, the Delaware Charter or the Delaware Bylaws, at all meetings of stockholders, the presence, in person, by remote communication or by proxy duly authorized of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at an applicable meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. |  | The Nevada Bylaws provide that, except where otherwise required by statute, the Nevada Charter or the Nevada Bylaws, at all meetings of stockholders, the presence, in person or by remote communication, or by proxy duly authorized (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter) of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereat shall constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.
Bylaws Regarding Voting |  | Consistent with the default voting standards provided by the DGCL, the Delaware Bylaws provide that: (i) in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter will be the act of the stockholders; (ii) directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors; and (iii) where a |  | Consistent with the default voting standards provided by the NRS, the Nevada Bylaws provide that: (i) action by stockholders on all matters other than the election of directors shall be approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action; (ii) directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in such election; and (iii) where a separate vote by a class or series is required, action by the stockholders of such class or series

Bylaws Regarding Committees |  | Consistent with the DGCL, the Delaware Bylaws provide that no committee of the Board shall have the power or authority in reference to: (i) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders, any action or matter (other than the election or removal of directors) expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval or (ii) adopting, amending or repealing any bylaw of the Company. |  | Consistent with Nevada law, the Nevada Bylaws do not contain a provision limiting the scope of authority that can be delegated to a committee of the Board.
Bylaws Regarding Acquisitions of Controlling Interest |  | Delaware law does not have control share acquisition provisions, so there is no corresponding provision in the Delaware Charter or Delaware Bylaws. |  | The Nevada Bylaws provide that, in accordance with the provisions of NRS 78.378, the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, or any successor statutes, relating to acquisitions of controlling interests in the Company will not apply to the Company or to any acquisition of any shares of the Company’s capital stock.

What Does Not Change After the Nevada Redomiciliation?

Apart from being governed by the Nevada Charter, Nevada Bylaws and the NRS, following completion of the Nevada Redomiciliation, the Company will continue to exist in the form of a Nevada corporation. By virtue of the Nevada Redomiciliation, all of the rights, privileges and powers of the Delaware Corporation, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to the Delaware Corporation, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to the Delaware Corporation, will remain vested in the Nevada Corporation and will

47

##### Table of Contents

be the property of the Nevada Corporation. In addition, all debts, liabilities and duties of the Delaware Corporation will remain attached to the Nevada Corporation and may be enforced against the Nevada Corporation.

No Change in Business, Jobs or Physical Location

The Nevada Redomiciliation will not result in any immediate change in business, jobs, management, properties, location of any of our offices or facilities, number of employees, obligations, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs related to the Nevada Redomiciliation). We intend to maintain our corporate headquarters in New York. Our management, including all directors and officers, will remain the same in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation and will have the same positions with the Nevada Corporation.

The Nevada Redomiciliation will not otherwise adversely affect any of the Company’s material contracts with any third parties, and the Company’s rights and obligations under such material contractual arrangements will continue as rights and obligations of the Nevada Corporation.

No Securities Act Consequences

The Company will continue to be a publicly held company following completion of the Nevada Redomiciliation, and our Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock, like our Delaware Corporation Class A Common Stock, will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market and traded under the symbol “DDOG.” There is not expected to be any interruption in trading as a result of the Nevada Redomiciliation. The Company will continue to file required periodic reports and other documents with the SEC. We and our stockholders will be in the same respective positions under the federal securities laws after the Nevada Redomiciliation as we and our stockholders were prior to the Nevada Redomiciliation.

No Material Accounting Implications

We expect that the Nevada Redomiciliation will have no effect from an accounting perspective. As such, our financial statements previously filed with the SEC will remain our financial statements following the Nevada Redomiciliation.

No Exchange of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Entitlements Required

Stockholders will not be required to exchange their current stock certificates for new Nevada Corporation stock certificates. At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Delaware Corporation Class A Common Stock or Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock will be one share of Nevada Corporation Class A Common Stock or Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock, as applicable, and any stock certificates or book-entry entitlements you then hold will represent the same number of shares of the Nevada Corporation as they represented of the Delaware Corporation. Following the Effective Time, any current stock certificates submitted to our transfer agent for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for Nevada Corporation stock certificates. Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate(s) and should not submit any certificate(s) to us or our transfer agent unless and until requested to do so.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

We believe that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Company, the Nevada Corporation or the stockholders of the Company who receive the Nevada Corporation Common Stock for their Delaware Corporation Common Stock in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation and the following discussion is based on such treatment. The aggregate tax basis of the Nevada Corporation Common Stock received by a stockholder of the Company as a result of the Nevada Redomiciliation will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Delaware Corporation Common Stock that became Nevada Corporation Common

48

##### Table of Contents

Stock held by that stockholder as a capital asset at the time of the Nevada Redomiciliation. Each stockholder’s holding period of shares of Nevada Corporation Common Stock received in the Nevada Redomiciliation will include the holding period of the shares of Delaware Corporation Common Stock that became those shares of Nevada Corporation Common Stock, provided the shares are held by such stockholder as a capital asset at the time of the Nevada Redomiciliation.

This proxy statement only discusses U.S. federal income tax consequences and does so only for general information. It does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular stockholders based upon individual circumstances or to stockholders who are subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, stockholders who hold their stock through a partnership or as part of a straddle or other derivative arrangement, foreign holders or holders who acquired their shares as compensation, whether through employee stock options or otherwise. This proxy statement does not address the tax consequences under state, local or foreign laws. State, local or foreign income tax consequences to stockholders may vary from the U.S. federal income tax consequences described above, and stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the consequences to them of the Nevada Redomiciliation under all applicable tax laws.

This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable Treasury Regulations, judicial authority and administrative rulings and practice, all in effect as of the date of this proxy statement, all of which are subject to differing interpretations and change, possibly with retroactive effect. The Company has neither requested nor received rulings from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the consequences of the Nevada Redomiciliation. There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions would not alter the consequences discussed above.

You should consult your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to you of the Nevada Redomiciliation, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

Additional Information

Regulatory Matters

The Nevada Redomiciliation will not be consummated unless and until stockholder approval is obtained. If stockholder approval is obtained, in order to consummate the Nevada Redomiciliation, we will have to file an Articles of Conversion and the Nevada Charter with the Nevada Secretary of State and a Certificate of Conversion with the Secretary of State of Delaware. No other regulatory or governmental approvals or consents will be required in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation.

Appraisal Rights

Under the DGCL, holders of our Delaware Corporation Class A Common Stock are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Nevada Redomiciliation described in this Proposal.

If the Nevada Redomiciliation is completed, holders of record and beneficial owners of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock who (i) do not vote in favor of the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation; (ii) properly demand appraisal of their shares; (iii) continuously hold of record or beneficially own their shares through the Effective Time; (iv) otherwise comply with the procedures of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”); and (v) do not withdraw their demands or otherwise lose their rights to appraisal may, subject to the conditions thereof, seek appraisal of their shares in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation under Section 262. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in Section 262 and in this summary to a “stockholder” are to a record holder of Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock, all references in Section 262 and in this summary to “beneficial owner” mean a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of

49

##### Table of Contents

Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock held either in voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person, and all references in Section 262 and in this summary to the word “person” mean any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity.

The following discussion is not a complete statement of the law pertaining to appraisal rights under the DGCL and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of Section 262, which is available at the following URL, accessible without subscription or cost, which is incorporated herein by reference: https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc09/index.html#262. The following summary does not constitute any legal or other advice and does not constitute a recommendation that our stockholders exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE FULL TEXT OF SECTION 262 AS WELL AS THE INFORMATION DISCUSSED BELOW.

Under Section 262, if the Nevada Redomiciliation is completed, holders of record and beneficial owners of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock who (i) deliver a written demand for appraisal of such person’s shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock to us prior to the vote on the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation; (ii) do not vote, in person or by proxy, in favor of the proposal to approve the Nevada Redomiciliation; (iii) continuously hold of record or beneficially own such shares on the date of making the demand for appraisal through the Effective Time; and (iv) otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in Section 262 may be entitled to have their shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery and to receive payment in cash, in lieu of the Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock set forth in the Plan of Conversion, for the “fair value” of their shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Nevada Redomiciliation, together with (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown) interest, if any, on the amount determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery to be the fair value from the Effective Time through the date of payment of the judgment (or in certain circumstances described herein, on the difference between the amount determined to be the fair value and the amount paid by the Nevada Corporation in the Nevada Redomiciliation to each person entitled to appraisal prior to the entry of judgment in the appraisal proceeding) as described further below.

Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery, in its discretion, determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest on the amount determined to be the fair value of the shares subject to appraisal will accrue and compound quarterly from the Effective Time through the date the judgment is paid at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during such period (except that, if at any time before the entry of judgment in the proceeding, the Nevada Corporation makes a voluntary cash payment to each person entitled to appraisal, interest will accrue thereafter only upon the sum of (x) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and (y) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time). The Nevada Corporation is under no obligation to make such voluntary cash payment prior to such entry of judgment.

Under Section 262, where a proposed conversion is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, must notify each of its stockholders of record as of the record date for notice of such meeting that appraisal rights are available and include in the notice a copy of Section 262 or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which Section 262 may be accessed without subscription or cost. This proxy statement constitutes our notice to the holders of record and beneficial owners of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock that appraisal rights are available in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation, and the full text of Section 262 is available at the following URL: https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc09/index.html#262. In connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation, any holder of record or beneficial owner of shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock who wishes to exercise appraisal rights, or who wishes to preserve such person’s right to do so, should review Section 262 carefully. Failure to strictly comply with the requirements of Section 262 in a timely and proper manner may result in the loss of appraisal rights under the DGCL. A person who loses appraisal rights will be entitled to receive the Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock described in the Plan of Conversion.

50

##### Table of Contents

Because of the complexity of the procedures for exercising the right to seek appraisal of shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock, we believe that if a person is considering exercising such rights, such person should seek the advice of legal counsel.

Stockholders or beneficial owners wishing to exercise the right to seek an appraisal of their shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock must do ALL of the following:

| • |  | such person must not vote in favor of the proposal to approve the Nevada Redomiciliation;

| • |  | such person must deliver to us a written demand for appraisal before the vote on the Nevada Redomiciliation at the Special Meeting; and

| • |  | such person must continuously hold of record or beneficially own the shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock from the date of making the demand through the Effective Time (a person will lose appraisal rights if the person transfers the shares before the Effective Time).

As described below, within 120 days after the Effective Time, but not thereafter, an appraisal proceeding must be commenced by filing a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares held by all dissenting stockholders entitled to appraisal. The Nevada Corporation is under no obligation, and has no present intention, to file a petition, and stockholders and beneficial owners should not assume that the Nevada Corporation will file a petition or initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of the shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock.

Because a proxy that does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation, each person who votes by proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must vote against the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation or abstain.

Filing Written Demand

A person wishing to exercise appraisal rights must deliver to us, before the vote on the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation at the special meeting, a written demand for the appraisal of such person’s shares. In addition, that person must not vote or submit a proxy in favor of the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation. A vote in favor of the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation, in person at the special meeting or by proxy (whether by mail or via the Internet or telephone), will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights in respect of the shares so voted and will nullify any previously filed written demands for appraisal. A person exercising appraisal rights must own or hold, as applicable, beneficially or of record, the shares on the date the written demand for appraisal is delivered and must continue to hold or own, as applicable, the shares through the Effective Time. A proxy that is submitted and does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation, and it will constitute a waiver of such person’s right of appraisal and will nullify any previously delivered written demand for appraisal. Therefore, a stockholder who submits a proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must submit a proxy containing instructions to vote against the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation or abstain from voting on the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation. Neither voting against the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation nor abstaining from voting or failing to vote on the proposal to approve the Nevada Redomiciliation will, in and of itself, constitute a written demand for appraisal satisfying the requirements of Section 262. The written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote on the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation. A proxy or vote against the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation will not constitute a demand. A person’s failure to make the written demand prior to the taking of the vote on the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation at the special meeting will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.

In the case of a written demand for appraisal made by a stockholder of record, the demand must reasonably inform us of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand an appraisal of such stockholder’s shares of Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock. In the case of a written demand for

51

##### Table of Contents

appraisal made by a beneficial owner, the demand must reasonably identify the record holder of the shares for which the demand is made, be accompanied by documentary evidence of such beneficial owner’s beneficial ownership of such stock and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be and provide an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the Nevada Corporation and to be set forth on the verified list (as defined below).

All written demands for appraisal pursuant to Section 262 should be mailed or delivered to:

Datadog, Inc.

620 8th Avenue, 45th Floor

New York, NY 10018

Attention: Secretary

At any time within 60 days after the Effective Time, any person entitled to appraisal rights who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party may withdraw such person’s demand for appraisal and accept the terms offered pursuant to the Plan of Conversion, by delivering to us, as the Nevada Corporation, a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal. Any withdrawal of a demand for appraisal made more than 60 days after the Effective Time may only be made with the written approval of the Nevada Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery will be dismissed as to any person without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just, including, without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction (which we refer to as a “reservation”) for any application (as defined below) to the Delaware Court of Chancery; provided, however, that this will not affect the right of any person who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such person’s demand for appraisal and to accept the applicable Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock within 60 days after the Effective Time. If the Delaware Court of Chancery does not approve the dismissal of an appraisal proceeding with respect to a person, such person will be entitled to receive only the fair value determined in any such appraisal proceeding, which value could be less than, equal to or more than the value of the Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock being offered pursuant to the Plan of Conversion.

Notice by the Nevada Corporation

If the Nevada Redomiciliation is completed, within 10 days after the Effective Time, the Nevada Corporation will notify each stockholder (including any beneficial owner) who has submitted a demand for appraisal in accordance with Section 262, and who has not voted in favor of the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation, that the Nevada Redomiciliation has become effective and the effective date thereof.

Filing a Petition for Appraisal

Within 120 days after the Effective Time, but not thereafter, the Nevada Corporation or any person who has complied with Section 262 and is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery, with a copy served on the Nevada Corporation in the case of a petition filed by any person other than the Nevada Corporation, demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares held by all dissenting stockholders entitled to appraisal. The Nevada Corporation is under no obligation, and has no present intention, to file a petition, and stockholders and beneficial owners should not assume that the Nevada Corporation will file a petition or initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of the shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock. Accordingly, any persons who desire to have their shares of Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock appraised should initiate all necessary action to perfect their appraisal rights in respect of their shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock within the time and in the manner prescribed in Section 262. The failure to file such a petition within the period specified in Section 262 could nullify a previous written demand for appraisal.

Within 120 days after the Effective Time, any person who has complied with the requirements for an appraisal of such person’s shares pursuant to Section 262 will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from

52

##### Table of Contents

the Nevada Corporation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation and with respect to which we have received demands for appraisal, and the aggregate number of stockholders or beneficial owners holding or owning such shares (provided that, where a beneficial owner makes a demand for appraisal directly, the record holder of such shares will not be considered a separate stockholder holding such shares for purposes of this aggregate number). Such statement must be given within 10 days after receipt by the Nevada Corporation of the written request for such a statement or within 10 days after the expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later.

If a petition for an appraisal is duly filed by any person other than the Nevada Corporation, service of a copy thereof must be made upon the Nevada Corporation, which will then be obligated within 20 days after such service to file with the Delaware Register in Chancery a duly verified list (which we refer to as the “verified list”) containing the names and addresses of all persons who have demanded appraisal for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached. The Delaware Court of Chancery may order the Register in Chancery to give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition to the Nevada Corporation and all of the persons shown on the verified list at the addresses stated therein. The costs of any such notice are borne by the Nevada Corporation.

After notice is provided to the applicable persons as required by the Delaware Court of Chancery, at the hearing on such petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine the persons who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to appraisal rights thereunder. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the persons who demanded appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by stock certificates to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings. Accordingly, persons holding stock represented by stock certificates and wishing to seek appraisal of their shares are cautioned to retain their stock certificates pending resolution of the appraisal proceedings. If any person fails to comply with this requirement, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to such person. Upon application by the Nevada Corporation or by any person entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Delaware Court of Chancery may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the persons entitled to an appraisal. Any person whose name appears on the verified list may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such person is not entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262.

Determination of Fair Value

After the Delaware Court of Chancery determines the persons entitled to appraisal, then the appraisal proceeding will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine the “fair value” of the shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Nevada Redomiciliation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the Effective Time through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at five percent over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the Effective Time and the date of payment of the judgment. However, the Nevada Corporation has the right, at any time prior to the Delaware Court of Chancery’s entry of judgment in the proceedings, to make a voluntary cash payment to each person seeking appraisal. If the Nevada Corporation makes a voluntary cash payment pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 262, interest will accrue thereafter only on the sum of (x) the difference, if any, between the amount paid by the Nevada Corporation in such voluntary cash payment and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and (y) interest accrued before such voluntary cash payment, unless paid at that time.

In determining fair value, the Delaware Court of Chancery will take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., the Supreme Court of Delaware discussed the factors that could be considered in

53

##### Table of Contents

determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered, and that “[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.” The Delaware Supreme Court stated that, in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings, prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts that could be ascertained as of the date of the transaction that “throw any light on future prospects” of the corporation. Section 262 provides that fair value is to be “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation” of the transaction. In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a “narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value,” but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In Weinberger, the Supreme Court of Delaware also stated that “elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the [transaction] and not the product of speculation, may be considered.”

Persons considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the fair value of their shares as so determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery could be more than, the same as or less than the value of the Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock they would receive pursuant to the Nevada Redomiciliation if they did not seek appraisal of their shares. ALTHOUGH WE BELIEVE THAT THE VALUE OF THE NEVADA CORPORATION CLASS B COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEVADA REDOMICILIATION IS FAIR, NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE OUTCOME OF THE APPRAISAL OF FAIR VALUE AS DETERMINED BY THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY, AND STOCKHOLDERS AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT SUCH AN APPRAISAL COULD RESULT IN A DETERMINATION OF A VALUE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN, OR THE SAME AS, THE VALUE OF THE NEVADA CORPORATION CLASS B COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEVADA REDOMICILIATION. We do not anticipate offering more than the applicable shares of Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation to any persons exercising appraisal rights, and we reserve the right to make a voluntary cash payment pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 262 and to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that for purposes of Section 262, the “fair value” of a share of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock is less than the value of the Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation. If a petition for appraisal is not timely filed, then the right to an appraisal will cease.

The Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the Nevada Corporation to the persons entitled thereto. Payment will be so made to each such person upon such terms and conditions as the Delaware Court of Chancery may order. The Delaware Court of Chancery’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in such Delaware Court of Chancery may be enforced.

The costs of the appraisal proceedings (which do not include attorneys’ fees or the fees and expenses of experts) may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable under the circumstances. Upon application of a person whose name appears on the verified list who participated in the proceeding and incurred expenses in connection therewith (which we refer to as an “application”), the Delaware Court of Chancery may also order that all or a portion of such expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal that were not dismissed pursuant to the terms of Section 262 or subject to an award pursuant to a reservation. In the absence of such determination or assessment, each party bears its own expenses.

If any person who demands appraisal of shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock under Section 262 fails to perfect, or loses or validly withdraws, such person’s right to appraisal, such person’s shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock will be deemed to be, at the Effective Time, the right to receive shares of Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation. A

person will fail to perfect, or effectively lose, such person’s right to appraisal if no petition for appraisal is filed within 120 days after the Effective Time or if the person delivers to the Nevada Corporation a written withdrawal of such person’s demand for appraisal and an acceptance of the applicable shares of Nevada Corporation Class B Common Stock in connection with the Nevada Redomiciliation in accordance with Section 262.

From and after the Effective Time, no person who has demanded appraisal rights in compliance with Section 262 will be entitled to vote such shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the Effective Time).

Failure to comply strictly with all of the procedures set forth in Section 262 may result in the loss of appraisal rights. Consequently, any person wishing to exercise appraisal rights is encouraged to consult legal counsel before attempting to exercise those rights.

As of February 24, 2026, we had [●] holders of record of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock and [●] shares of our Delaware Corporation Class B Common Stock outstanding.

Interest of Certain Persons

Our Board believes that the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and the State of Nevada are substantially equivalent as to the rights of stockholders, at least on balance of the relevant considerations against one another and as relevant to the Company. As part of its process, the Board considered if redomiciliation to Nevada would convey any non-ratable benefits on any of the Company’s directors or officers and did not identify any such non-ratable benefits. Our Board noted that there is currently no known pending claim or litigation against any of our directors or officers for breach of fiduciary duty related to their service as our directors or officers. However, others may allege, and stockholders should be aware in voting on the Nevada Redomiciliation, that our directors and executive officers may be considered to have interests in the Nevada Redomiciliation that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the stockholders generally. Our Board has considered these potential interests, among other matters, in reaching the decision to approve the Nevada Redomiciliation and to recommend that our stockholders vote in favor of this Proposal.

Required Vote

Assuming a quorum is present, this Proposal will be approved if a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, is voted “FOR” the Proposal (i.e., for the approval of the Nevada Redomiciliation and the adoption of the Nevada Redomiciliation Resolutions). Brokers will not have discretionary voting authority with respect to shares held in street name for their clients. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote against this Proposal. If the Proposal fails to obtain the requisite vote for approval, the Nevada Redomiciliation will not be consummated, and the Company’s domicile will be unchanged.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL (I.E., FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE NEVADA REDOMICILIATION AND THE ADOPTION OF THE NEVADA REDOMICILIATION RESOLUTIONS).

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the ownership of our common stock as of February 5, 2026, by:

| • |  | each person or entity known by us to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of our Class A common stock or Class B common stock;

| • |  | each of our named executive officers;

| • |  | each of our directors; and

| • |  | all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 328,274,648 shares of Class A common stock and 24,301,433 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of February 5, 2026. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of such person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares subject to options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) held by the person that are currently exercisable, or exercisable or would vest based on service-based vesting conditions, as applicable, within 60 days of February 5, 2026. However, except as described above, we did not deem such shares outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Datadog, Inc., 620 8th Avenue, 45th Floor, New York, New York 10018.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other proxy materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

For this Special Meeting, a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will likely be “householding” our proxy materials. A single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and copy of our proxy materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and any accompanying documents, please notify your broker or us. Direct your written request to us via email at IR@datadoghq.com. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.

OTHER MATTERS

Our Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting or any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

APPENDIX A

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Datadog discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this proxy statement: non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income growth, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income growth, free cash flow and free cash flow growth. Datadog uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short- and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate Datadog’s financial performance. Datadog believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating its operational performance, as further discussed below. Datadog’s non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in its industry, as other companies in its industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring and unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on Datadog’s reported financial results.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement table included below.

Datadog defines non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income growth, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP operating income growth as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for, as applicable: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) the amortization of acquired intangibles; (3) employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions; (4) M&A transaction costs; (5) amortization of issuance costs; and (6) an assumed provision for income taxes based on our long-term projected tax rate. Non-GAAP financial measures prior to April 1, 2025 have not been adjusted for M&A transaction costs, as such costs were not material to our results of operations in such prior periods. Our estimated long-term projected tax rate is subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in Datadog’s geographic earnings mix, or other changes to our strategy or business operations. We will re-evaluate our long-term projected tax rate as appropriate. Datadog defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, minus capital expenditures and minus capitalized software development costs, if any. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others in assessing Datadog’s operating performance due to the following factors:

Stock-based compensation. Datadog utilizes stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees. It is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of its stockholders and at long-term retention, rather than to address operational performance for any particular period. As a result, stock-based compensation expenses vary for reasons that are generally unrelated to financial and operational performance in any particular period.

Amortization of acquired intangibles. Datadog views amortization of acquired intangible assets as items arising from pre-acquisition activities determined at the time of an acquisition. While these intangible assets are evaluated for impairment regularly, amortization of the cost of acquired intangibles is an expense that is not typically affected by operations during any particular period.

Employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions. Datadog excludes employer payroll tax expense on equity incentive plans as these expenses are tied to the exercise or vesting of underlying equity awards and the price of Datadog’s common stock at the time of vesting or exercise. As a result, these taxes may vary in any particular period independent of the financial and operating performance of Datadog’s business.

A-1

##### Table of Contents

M&A transaction costs. Datadog views acquisition-related expenses, such as transaction costs, as costs that are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. In particular, Datadog believes the consideration of measures that exclude such expenses can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods which may or may not include such expenses.

Amortization of issuance costs. In June 2020 and December 2024, Datadog issued $747.5 million of 0.125% convertible senior notes due 2025 and $1.0 billion of 0% convertible senior notes due 2029, respectively. Debt issuance costs, which reduce the carrying value of the convertible debt instrument, are amortized as interest expense over the term. The expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs is a non-cash item, and we believe the exclusion of this interest expense will provide for a more useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods.

Additionally, Datadog’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure free cash flow is meaningful to investors because it is a measure of liquidity that provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the strength of our liquidity and future ability to generate cash that can be used for strategic opportunities or investing in our business. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, reduced by capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs, if any. The reduction of capital expenditures and amounts capitalized for software development facilitates comparisons of Datadog’s liquidity on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that management does not consider to be indicative of our liquidity.

6. Automatic Conversion.

(a) Automatic Conversion of the Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon a Transfer, other than a Permitted Transfer, of such share of Class B Common Stock. Such conversion shall occur automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificate(s) evidencing such shares (if any) are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue any certificate evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificate(s) evidencing such shares of Class B Common Stock are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificate(s). Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class B Common Stock so converted shall surrender the certificate(s) evidencing such shares (if any) at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock.

Each share of Class B Common Stock held of record by a Founder (including a Founder holding shares in a trustee capacity) or a Permitted Transferee of such Founder shall automatically, without any further action, convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock nine months after the date of the death of such Founder.

(c) Final Conversion. On the Final Conversion Date, each then-outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without any further action, convert into one share of Class A Common Stock. Following the Final Conversion Date, the Company may no longer issue any additional shares of Class B Common Stock. Such conversion shall occur automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificate(s) evidencing such shares (if any) are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue any certificate evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificate(s) evidencing such shares of Class B Common Stock are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificate(s). Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class B Common Stock so converted shall surrender the certificate(s) evidencing such shares (if any) at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock.

(d) Procedures. The Company may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures relating to the conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock and the general administration of this multi-class stock structure, including the issuance of stock certificates (or the establishment of book-entry positions) with respect thereto, as it may deem reasonably necessary or advisable, and may from time to time request that holders of shares of Class B Common Stock furnish certifications, affidavits or other proof to the Company as it deems necessary to verify the ownership of Class B Common Stock and to confirm that a conversion to Class A

##### Table of Contents

Common Stock has not occurred. A determination by the Secretary of the Company as to whether a Transfer results in a conversion to Class A Common Stock shall be conclusive and binding.

(e) Immediate Effect. In the event of a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6, such conversion(s) shall be deemed to have been made at the time that the Transfer of shares occurred or immediately upon the Final Conversion Date, as applicable. Upon any conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock, all rights of the holder of shares of Class B Common Stock shall cease and the person(s) in whose name(s) the certificate(s) (or book-entry position(s)) evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder(s) of such shares of Class A Common Stock.

7. Redemption. The Common Stock is not redeemable.

8. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Class B Common Stock, as applicable, such number of its shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, as applicable, the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such numbers of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

9. Prohibition on Reissuance of Shares. Shares of Class B Common Stock that are acquired by the Company for any reason (whether by repurchase, upon conversion, or otherwise) shall be retired in the manner permitted by law and shall not be reissued as shares of Class B Common Stock.

2. Election.

(a) Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any class(es) or series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under circumstances, and in the manner, specified in the relevant Certificate(s) of Designation, the directors shall be and are divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively.

At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders succeeding such election to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

(b) No stockholder may cumulate votes in any election for directors.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, when the number of directors is increased or decreased, the Board of Directors shall, subject to these Articles of Incorporation and the NRS, determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of directors shall be apportioned; provided that no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(d) Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

3. Removal of Directors Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, removal of directors shall be as provided in NRS 78.335.

4. Vacancies. Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution(s) that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders, be filled only by the Board of Directors by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. Any director so appointed or elected shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected or appointed and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

5. Preferred Directors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during any period when the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class or together with one or more other classes or series, have the right to elect any additional director(s), then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Company shall automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect such additional director(s); and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to such provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation establishing such class or series, whenever the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect any additional director(s) are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Designation relating to such class or series, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such class or series, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate and the total authorized number of directors of the Company shall be reduced accordingly.

B. Stockholder Actions.

B. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers, and other agents of the Company (and any other persons to which applicable law permits the Company to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

C. Any repeal or modification of this Article VI shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Article VI in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act giving rise to liability.

D. Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in Clark County, Nevada (or, if the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other district court of the State of Nevada, or, in the event that no district court of the State of Nevada has jurisdiction over a particular matter, then the federal district courts of the United States of America in the State of Nevada) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, under Nevada statutory or common law: (A) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought in the name or right or on behalf of the Company; (B) any action, suit or proceeding asserting, for or based upon any breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or controlling stockholder of the Company; (C) any other internal action (as defined in NRS 78.046), including any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder arising pursuant to any provision of NRS Title 7, these Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company; (D) any action, suit or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of any provision of NRS Title 7, these Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company or any agreement entered into pursuant to NRS 78.365 to which the Company is a party or a stated beneficiary thereof (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder); (E) any action, suit or proceeding as to which the NRS confers jurisdiction to the district court of the State of Nevada; and (F) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any stockholder, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This Article VI shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

E. Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to and contingent upon a final adjudication in the State of Nevada of the enforceability of such exclusive forum provision.

(a) Directors and Executive Officers. The corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in a proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or executive officer (for the purposes of this Article X, “executive officers” shall have the meaning defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of the corporation, or while serving as a director or executive officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, or as a manager of a limited liability company, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or executive officer of the corporation or in any other capacity while serving as a director, executive officer or otherwise at the request of the corporation, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person; provided, however, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify any such person in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was

E-16

##### Table of Contents

authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the NRS or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under Section 42(d).

(b) Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The corporation shall have the power to indemnify (including the power to advance expenses in a manner consistent with Section 42(c)) its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the NRS. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person except executive officers to such officers or other persons as the Board of Directors shall determine.

(c) Expenses. The corporation shall advance to any current or former director or executive officer of the corporation, or to any person, who while serving as a director or executive officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or as a manager of a limited liability company, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by such person in defending (or participating as a witness in) any proceeding referred to in Section 42(a); provided, however, that an advancement of expenses incurred by a current or former director or executive officer in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon receipt by the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 42 or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to Section 42(d), no advance shall be made by the corporation to a current or former executive officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, that such person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

(d) Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Section 42 to a current or former director or executive officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within 90 days of request therefor. To the extent permitted by law, the claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the NRS for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by a current or former executive officer of the corporation (except in any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including

E-17

##### Table of Contents

its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the NRS, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a current or former director or executive officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 42 or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advancement of expenses, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the NRS.

(f) Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or executive officer or officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(g) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, the corporation may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 42.

(h) Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this Section 42 shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any current or former director or executive officer of the corporation.

(i) Saving Clause. If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Section 42 that shall not have been invalidated. If this Section 42 shall be invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the corporation shall indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent under any other applicable law.

NOTICES

Section 43. Notices.

(a) Notice to Stockholders. Notice to stockholders of stockholder meetings shall be given as provided in Section 6. Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given effectively to stockholders under any agreement or contract with such stockholder, and except as otherwise required by law, written notice to stockholders for purposes other than stockholder meetings may be sent by U.S. mail or courier service, or by facsimile, electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission.

(b) Notice to Directors. Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in Section 43(a) or as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, with notice other than one that is delivered personally to be sent to such address or electronic mail address as such director shall have filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known address or electronic mail address of such director.

(c) Affidavit of Mailing. An affidavit of notice, executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the corporation or its transfer agent appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, or other agent, specifying the name(s) and address(es) of the stockholder(s), or director(s), to whom any such notice(s) was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same, shall in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts therein contained.

(d) Methods of Notice. It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all recipients of notice, but one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.

(e) Notice to Person with Whom Communication is Unlawful. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required. Any action or meeting that is taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given.

(f) Notice to Stockholders Sharing an Address. Except as otherwise prohibited under the NRS, any notice given under the provisions of the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws shall be effective if

given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Such consent shall have been deemed to have been given if such stockholder fails to object in writing to the corporation within 60 days of having been given notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single notice. Any consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation.

(g) Waiver. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver sent by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

ARTICLE XII

AMENDMENTS

Section 44. Amendments. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 42(h) or the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation. The stockholders also shall have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the corporation required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

ARTICLE XIII

LOANS TO OFFICERS

Section 45. Loans to Officers. Except as otherwise prohibited by and subject to applicable law, the corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiaries, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiaries, whenever, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, such loan, guarantee or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guarantee or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

Notwithstanding any other provision in these Bylaws to the contrary, and in accordance with the provisions of NRS 78.378, the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, relating to acquisitions of controlling interests in the corporation shall not apply to the corporation or to any acquisition of any shares of the corporation’s capital stock.

Section 47. Severability. If any provision(s) of these Bylaws shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision(s) in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of these Bylaws (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of these Bylaws containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision(s) to other persons, entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 48. Changes in Nevada Law. References in these Bylaws to the laws of the State of Nevada or the NRS or to any provision thereof shall be to such law as it existed on the date these Bylaws were adopted or as such law thereafter may be changed; provided that (i) in the case of any change which expands the liability of directors or officers or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which the corporation may provide in Article X, the rights to limited liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in the Articles of Incorporation and/or these Bylaws shall continue as theretofore to the extent permitted by law; and (ii) if such change permits the corporation, without the requirement of any further action by stockholders or directors, to limit further the liability of directors or limit the liability of officers or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.
