    <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><font style="font-weight: bold;">MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. &amp; AMSTERDAM</font> &#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211; Elastic N.V. (NYSE: ESTC), the company behind Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack, announced that
      Alison Gleeson has been nominated to join its Board of Directors. Gleeson is a globally recognized executive who was previously Senior Vice President of Cisco&#8217;s Americas organization. Gleeson was responsible for nearly 9,000 employees across 35
      countries.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">&#8220;Alison is an experienced leader with a strong growth mindset across many go-to-market disciplines,&#8221; said Shay Banon, founder and CEO of Elastic. &#8220;At Elastic, our search technology is helping
      organizations in every segment, across multiple use cases, and around the globe to solve their critical IT and business initiatives. Alison&#8217;s rich go-to-market experience will be an invaluable asset as we seek to grow and scale, and to drive customer
      and partner success with our products and solutions.&#8221;</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">&#8220;In my career, I&#8217;ve never seen greater urgency from enterprises across all industries to transform themselves using data, and search has become one of the foundational technologies to do just
      that,&#8221; said Gleeson. &#8220;Elastic has become synonymous with search technology as the need to instantly find relevant information and insights from large amounts of data has become a necessity for every enterprise. Elastic has an amazing footprint in the
      enterprise &#8212; I look forward to helping the company create a lasting go-to-market strategy focused on deepening and widening its customer and partner relationships to fuel its future growth.&#8221;</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">In more than 20 years at Cisco, Gleeson focused on a customer-first mentality, building go-to-market and data-driven initiatives, and strengthening Cisco&#8217;s relationships with top partners. This
      includes managing the sales efforts in Canada and Latin America, as well as segments such as US Commercial, US Public Sector, and the Global Enterprise Segment which included Cisco&#8217;s top 28 customers.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Gleeson is also a highly-regarded international speaker on the drivers for digital disruption across industries, the role of technology in enabling business transformation, and empowering women
      in technology. Gleeson maintains a commitment to professional development and inclusion and diversity in the workplace. In 2018, she received the Connected World&#8217;s &#8220;Woman of IoT&#8221; award for her role in advancing the field. In 2017, she received the
      Diversity Best Practice&#8217;s &#8220;Above and Beyond Legacy Award&#8221; and the Michigan Council for Women in Technology&#8217;s &#8220;Woman of the Year Award&#8221; for her work in advancing women in IT roles. She was previously the Global Executive Sponsor and Board President
      for Cisco&#8217;s Connected Women&#8217;s Network, an organization with 7,000 members worldwide. Alison currently serves on the Advisory Board of the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University, her alma mater.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Pursuant to Dutch law, Gleeson&#8217;s nomination to the Board of Directors is subject to a shareholder vote, expected to be held at an extraordinary general shareholder meeting in January 2020. Upon
      her election to the Board, Gleeson will also be appointed to serve as a member of the Company&#8217;s Compensation Committee.</div>
