	Dear Stockholders:
	You are cordially invited to join us for our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held virtually on Thursday, May 16, 2024, at 8:00 a.m., Central Time. The virtual meeting can be accessed by visiting the following website and entering your control number: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SPSC2024. Stockholders will have the same opportunities to participate in the virtual meeting as you would at an in-person meeting, including having the opportunity to vote and to submit a question during the meeting using the directions on the meeting website. The notice of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the Proxy Statement that follow describe the business to be conducted at the meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the virtual meeting, your vote is important and we encourage you to submit your proxy to vote your shares promptly. You may vote your shares by proxy by using a toll-free telephone number, the internet, or mail, free of charge. Instructions regarding these three methods of voting are contained in the proxy materials. We are pleased to take advantage of SEC rules that allow companies to furnish their proxy materials over the internet. We are mailing to many of our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) instead of a paper copy of our proxy materials and our 2023 Annual Report to Stockholders (the “Annual Report”). The Notice contains instructions on how to access those documents and to cast your vote via the internet. The Notice also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials and our Annual Report. All stockholders who do not receive a Notice will receive a paper copy of the proxy materials and the Annual Report by mail. This process allows us to provide our stockholders with the information they need more promptly, while reducing the environmental impact and lowering the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials. We look forward to having you attend the virtual meeting.
Chad Collins Chief Executive Officer
		Sincerely,
		Chad Collins

Meeting Voting Rights and Attendance

1.	Q	Who is entitled to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?
	A	The Board has set March 22, 2024 as the record date for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on March 22, 2024, you are entitled to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As of the record date, [x] shares of common stock, representing all of our voting stock, were issued and outstanding and, therefore, eligible to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
2.	Q	What are my voting rights?
	A	Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Therefore, a total of [x] votes are entitled to be cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. There is no cumulative voting.
3.	Q	How many shares must be present to hold the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?
	A	In accordance with our bylaws, shares equal to a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as of the record date must be present at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in order to hold the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Shares are counted as present at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders if: •you are present (virtually) and vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; or •you have properly and timely submitted your proxy as described below under “How do I submit my proxy?”
4.	Q	What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a “street name” holder?
	A	If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trust or other nominee, then the broker, bank, trust or other nominee is considered to be the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, while you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares. In that case, your shares are said to be held in “street name.” Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and must instead instruct the broker, bank, trust, or other nominee how to vote their shares using the method described below under “How do I submit my proxy?”

4| Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING    

5.	Q	How can I attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?
	A	All of our stockholders are invited to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders virtually. The 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is not being held in person. We believe that hosting the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders online enables increased attendance and participation from locations around the world. The 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been designed to provide the same rights to participate as you would have at an in-person 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
6.	Q	What do I need to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?
	A	We will be hosting our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders via live webcast. Stockholders can attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders online at: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SPSC2024. The webcast will begin at 8:00 a.m., Central Time. We encourage you to access the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders prior to the start time. In order to participate in the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, you will need the 16-digit control number located on your Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. A replay of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be publicly available on the Investor Relations page of our website for at least 30 days after the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
7.	Q	How can I submit a question at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?
	A	If you would like to submit a question at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, you may type your question into the dialog box provided at any point during the virtual 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (until the floor is closed to questions). In order to allow us to answer questions from as many stockholders as possible, we limit each stockholder to one question. Questions and answers may be grouped by topic and substantially similar questions may be answered at once. If we do not have time to answer all the appropriate questions that have been submitted, we expect to post any additional questions and our answers on the Investor Relations page of our website promptly following the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and retain them for 30 days after the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
8.	Q	What if I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?
	A	If you encounter any technical difficulties with accessing the virtual 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders website log-in page.

Information about the Notice and Proxy Materials

1.	Q	What is a proxy?
	A	A proxy is a designation for another person to vote stock you own; that other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is called a form of proxy or a proxy card. When you designate a proxy, you also may direct the proxy how to vote your shares. We refer to this as your “proxy vote.” Two executive officers, Chad Collins and Kimberly Nelson, have been designated as proxies for our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
2.	Q	If I received a one-page Notice, how can I receive a full set of printed proxy materials?
	A	As permitted by SEC rules, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the internet to record owners and any beneficial owners of our stock who have not previously requested printed proxy materials, which reduces our costs and the environmental impact of our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Notice contains instructions on how to request a printed set of proxy materials, which we will provide to stockholders upon request at no cost to the requesting stockholder within three business days after receiving the request. If you would like to request a printed set of proxy materials, please make your request on or before May 2, 2024 to facilitate timely delivery.

5| Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING    

3.	Q	How do I submit my proxy?
	A	If you are a stockholder of record, you can submit a proxy to be voted at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in any of the following ways: •over the internet using www.proxyvote.com, •over the telephone by calling a toll-free number; or •signing, dating, and mailing the proxy card in the envelope provided. To vote by telephone or the internet, you will need to use a control number that was provided to you by our vote tabulator, Broadridge Financial Solutions, and then follow the additional steps when prompted. The steps have been designed to authenticate your identity, allow you to give voting instructions, and confirm that those instructions have been recorded properly. If you hold your shares in street name, you must vote your shares in the manner prescribed by your broker, bank, trust, or other nominee, which is similar to the voting procedures for stockholders of record. If you request the proxy materials by mail after receiving the Notice, you will receive a voting instruction form (not a proxy card) to use in directing the broker, bank, trust, or other nominee how to vote your shares.
4.	Q	What does it mean if I receive more than one printed set of proxy materials?
	A	If you receive more than one Notice or printed set of proxy materials, it means that you hold shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, vote once for each control number you receive as described above under “How do I submit my proxy?”
5.	Q	Who pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation?
	A	SPS pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokerage firms, banks, trusts or other nominees for forwarding proxy materials to street name holders. In addition, our directors, officers, and regular employees may solicit proxies personally, telephonically, electronically or by other means of communication. Our directors, officers and regular employees will receive no additional compensation for their services other than their regular compensation.

Voting

1.	Q	How do I vote?
	A	See the “How to Vote by Proxy” section earlier in this document for instructions on the different options on how to vote by proxy.
2.	Q	How does the Board recommend that I vote?
	A	The Board recommends a vote: •FOR the election of each of the nominees for director; •FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG as the independent auditor of SPS Commerce, Inc. for the year ending December 31, 2024; •FOR advisory approval of the compensation of our NEOs; and •FOR the approval of an amendment to the Ninth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of SPS Commerce, Inc. to allow for exculpation of officers as permitted by Delaware law.

6| Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING    

3.	Q	What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?
	A	If you are a stockholder of record and submit a signed proxy card or submit your proxy by internet or telephone but do not specify how you want to vote your shares on a particular matter, we will vote your shares as follows: •FOR the election of each of the nominees for director; •FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG as the independent auditor of SPS Commerce, Inc. for the year ending December 31, 2024; •FOR advisory approval of the compensation of our NEOs; and •FOR the approval of an amendment to the Ninth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of SPS Commerce, Inc. to allow for exculpation of officers as permitted by Delaware law. Your vote is important. We urge you to vote, or to instruct your broker, bank, trust, or other nominee how to vote, on all matters before the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If you are a street name holder and fail to instruct the stockholder of record how you want to vote your shares on a particular matter, those shares are considered to be “uninstructed.” New York Stock Exchange rules determine the circumstances under which member brokers of the New York Stock Exchange may exercise discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares held by them on behalf of their clients who are street name holders. Other than the ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2024, the rules do not permit member brokers to exercise voting discretion as to the uninstructed shares on any matter included in the notice of meeting. With respect to the ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2024, the rules permit member brokers to exercise voting discretion as to the uninstructed shares. For matters with respect to which the broker, bank or other nominee does not have voting discretion or has, but does not exercise, voting discretion, the uninstructed shares will be referred to as a “broker non-vote.” For more information regarding the effect of broker non-votes on the outcome of the vote, see below under “How are votes counted?”
4.	Q	Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?
	A	Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in any of the following ways: •by submitting a later-dated proxy by telephone or the internet before 11:59 p.m. ET on May 15, 2024 for shares held directly and before 11:59 p.m. ET on May 13, 2024 for shares held in the Plan; •by submitting a later-dated proxy to the Chief Financial Officer of SPS, which must be received by us before the time of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; •by sending a written notice of revocation to the Chief Financial Officer of SPS, which must be received by us before the time of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; or •by voting at the virtual 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
5.	Q	Can I vote my shares at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?
	A	If you are a stockholder of record or beneficial owner of common stock as of the close of business on the record date, you may vote your shares during the virtual 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders by using the 16-digit control number on your Notice, your proxy card, or your voting instruction form, as applicable, on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SPSC2024. Even if you currently plan to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we recommend that you submit your proxy as described above so your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If you submit your vote by proxy and later decide to vote at the Meeting, the vote you submit at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will override your proxy vote.

7| Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING    

6.	Q	What vote is required to approve each item of business included in the Notice of Meeting?
	A	A director nominee will be elected if the number of votes cast “FOR” the nominee exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the nominee. Any incumbent director who does not receive a greater number of votes “FOR” than “AGAINST” his or her reelection in an uncontested election shall tender his or her resignation to the Board, subject to acceptance. The Board will determine whether to accept or reject the offer to resign within 90 days of certification of the stockholder vote. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is required to ratify the selection of our independent auditor. For the advisory vote to approve the executive compensation of our NEOs, there is no minimum approval necessary for the proposal since it is an advisory vote; however, the Board will consider the results of the advisory vote when considering future decisions related to such proposals. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock is required to approve the amendment to our Ninth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow for exculpation of officers as permitted by Delaware law.
7.	Q	How are votes counted?
	A	You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” OR “ABSTAIN” for each director nominee and on the other proposals. If you properly submit your proxy but abstain from voting for a director nominee or on the other proposals, your shares will be counted as present at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the purpose of determining a quorum and for the purpose of calculating the vote on the particular matter(s) with respect to which you abstained from voting. If you do not submit your proxy or voting instructions and also do not vote at the annual meeting, your shares will not be counted as present at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the purpose of determining a quorum unless you hold your shares in street name and the broker, bank, trust or other nominee has discretion to vote your shares and does so. For more information regarding discretionary voting, see the information above under “What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?” If you abstain from voting for one or more of the director nominees or you do not vote your shares on this matter (whether by broker non-vote or otherwise), this will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. With respect to the proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG as our independent auditor, if you abstain from voting, doing so will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal, but if you do not vote your shares (or, for shares held in street name, if you do not submit voting instructions and your broker, bank, trust or other nominee does not or may not vote your shares), this will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to approve the amendment to our Ninth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

The Board currently consists of eight directors. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that each member of our Board is elected annually by a majority of votes cast if the election is uncontested. All of our directors, except for Mr. Collins, were elected by our stockholders at our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Collins was appointed as a director of the Company upon his appointment as CEO on October 2, 2023. Mr. Collins was identified by a third-party search firm.

Based upon the recommendation of the Governance & Nominating Committee, the Board has nominated seven directors for election at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As announced by the Company on February 29, 2024, Mr. Black will not stand for re-election as a director at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board has taken action to reduce the size of the Board to seven members effective upon the expiration of Mr. Black's term as a director at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than seven, which is the number of nominees named in this Proxy Statement.

If, for any reason, any nominee becomes unable to serve before the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders occurs, the persons named as proxies may vote your shares for a substitute nominee selected by our Board. The director nominees, if reelected, will serve until our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualified.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the director nominees. Proxies will be voted FOR the election of each of the nominees unless otherwise specified.

Set forth below is biographical information for each of the nominated directors. The following includes certain information regarding our director nominees’ collective and individual experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that led the Board to conclude that the makeup of the Board is appropriate and each nominee should continue service.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board conducts its business through meetings of established standing committees. Each of the standing committees has adopted and operates under a written charter, all of which are available within our corporate governance section of our investor relations portion of our website at www.spscommerce.com. We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics relating to the conduct of our business by our directors, officers (including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), and employees (our "Code of Conduct"), that can also be found in the same section on our website. We plan to post on our website at the address described above any future amendments or waivers of our Code of Conduct. Additionally, our Corporate Governance Guidelines are also available in the same section on our website.

Board Leadership Structure

One of the key responsibilities of the Board is to have a leadership structure that allows it to provide effective oversight of management and maximize the contributions of its members. The Board evaluates its leadership structure on an ongoing basis. The Board does not have a policy as to whether the position of the Chair of the Board and the position of the CEO or other executive position should be separate. Rather, the Board believes it should retain the flexibility to decide what is in the best interest of the Company at any point in time. If the position of Chair is held by a director who is not independent, the Board will appoint a Lead Independent Director from among its members using criteria the Board deems appropriate. If the Chair is an independent director, then the duties of the Lead Independent Director described below shall be part of the duties of the Chair.

The Board believes that in the absence of an independent Chair, a Lead Independent Director is an integral part of a governance structure that promotes strong, independent oversight of the Company’s management and affairs. In fulfilling his or her responsibilities, the Lead Independent Director, if any, will: preside at all meetings of the Board when the Chairperson is not present; convene and preside at meetings of the independent directors, including executive sessions; review and provide input on meeting agendas for the Board and its committees; and perform such other duties as may be requested by the Board. Currently:

•Chad Collins serves as our CEO, and has done so since October 2, 2023.

•Archie Black serves as Executive Chair of the Board, and has done so since October 2, 2023. He will continue as our Executive Chair until the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders when his term as a director ends.

•Philip Soran serves as our Lead Independent Director, and has done so since October 2, 2023. He will continue to serve in such capacity until the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at which time he will become Chair of the Board. He also served as Chair of the Board from 2022 to October 2, 2023, as well as from 2014 to 2017.

Meeting Attendance

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our directors are expected to attend meetings of the Board and of the committees on which they serve, as well as our annual meeting of stockholders. Our Board and the committees held the following meetings during 2023.

Committee	Meetings (#)
Audit	6
Compensation & Talent	5
Governance & Nominating	8
Finance & Strategy	4
Full Board of Directors	7

Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees on which they served during 2023, and each of our directors at the time attended our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.

Board Involvement in Risk Oversight

Responsibility of Management	Our management is responsible for identifying the various risks facing us, formulating risk management policies and procedures, and managing our risk exposures on a day-to-day basis.
Responsibility of the Board	The Board is responsible for monitoring our risk management processes by informing itself concerning our material risks and evaluating whether management has reasonable controls in place to address the material risks; the Board is not responsible, however, for identifying or managing our various risks.
Responsibility of the Audit Committee	The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for providing oversight in the areas of financial risk, legal and regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity risk. The Board, with the assistance from the Audit Committee, is primarily responsible for monitoring management’s responsibility in all other areas of risk management for the Company.
Responsibility of the Compensation & Talent Committee	The Compensation & Talent Committee is charged with overseeing risks associated with our variable compensation policies and practices and annually reviews whether risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on SPS.

The Audit Committee and the full Board focus on the material risks facing us, including financial, operational, market, geographic, liquidity, legal and regulatory, and cybersecurity risks, to assess whether management has reasonable controls in place to address these risks. Accordingly, management regularly reported to the Audit Committee and the Board on the risks described above and related risk management during 2023. The Board believes this division of responsibilities provides an effective and efficient approach for addressing risk management.

Procedures for Contacting the Company, including the Board

Throughout this Proxy Statement, we identify reasons stockholders may need or wish to contact the Company. All of those communications should be directed to the title of the person indicated at the address below.

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board may do so by writing to the Board or a particular director in care of the Secretary of the Company. Communications should be delivered to the address below, with attention to “Secretary”.

SPS Commerce, Inc.

333 South Seventh Street, Suite 1000

All communications addressed to the Board will initially be received and processed by the Secretary of the Company, who will then refer the communication to the appropriate Board member (either the director named in the communication, the chairperson of the Board committee having authority over the matter raised in the communication, or the chairperson of the Board in all other cases). The director to whom a communication is referred will determine, in consultation with our counsel, whether a copy or summary of the communication will be provided to the other directors. The Board will respond to communications if and as appropriate.

Director Independence

As required under the Nasdaq Global Market rules and regulations, a majority of the members of a listed company’s Board must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the Board. The Board consults with our counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Market, as in effect from time to time.

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and our Company, our management, and our independent registered public accounting firm, the Board has affirmatively determined that all of our Company’s directors are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Market, except for Mr. Collins, our CEO, and Mr. Black, our Executive Chair.

As required under the Nasdaq Global Market rules and regulations, our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present. All members of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation & Talent Committee, and Governance & Nominating Committee have been determined by the Board to be independent within the meaning of the Nasdaq Global Market rules and regulations and applicable SEC rules.

Procedures for Selecting and Nominating Director Candidates

Stockholders may directly nominate a person for election to our Board by complying with the procedures set forth in Article II, Section 2.4(a)(2) of our bylaws, and with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Under our bylaws, only persons nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the bylaws will be eligible to serve as directors. In order to nominate an individual for service as a director, you must be a stockholder at the time you give the Board notice of your nomination, and you must be entitled to vote for the election of directors at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders at which your nominee will be considered. In accordance with our bylaws, director nominations generally must be made pursuant to notice delivered to, or mailed and received at, our principal executive offices at the address above, not later than the 90th day (February 15, 2025), nor earlier than the 120th day (January 16, 2025), prior to the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders. Your notice must set forth all information relating to the nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including the nominee’s written consent to being named in the Proxy Statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected). Your notice also must set forth certain information as set forth in our bylaws.

A stockholder who intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s director nominees and who has delivered a notice of nomination pursuant to our bylaws shall promptly certify to the Company, and notify the Company in writing, that it has complied with or will comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, and upon request of the Company, shall, not later than five business days prior to the date of the applicable meeting of stockholders, deliver to the Company reasonable evidence of such compliance.

If a stockholder desires to recommend a candidate for consideration by the Governance & Nominating Committee, instead of nominating that director for election by stockholders, the Governance & Nominating Committee will consider such director candidates recommended to it by stockholders in the same manner that it considers all director candidates. Stockholders who wish to suggest qualified candidates should write to the Company at the address listed above, to the attention of the Chair of the Governance & Nominating Committee, stating in detail the characteristics that make the candidate a suitable person to serve on our Board in light of our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

As required by our Corporate Governance Guidelines, when evaluating the appropriate characteristics of candidates for service as a director, the Governance & Nominating Committee takes into account many factors. The Board selects and recommends to stockholders qualified individuals who, if added to the Board, would provide the appropriate mix of director characteristics, experience, perspectives, and skills. Board candidates are considered based on various criteria, including breadth and depth of relevant business and Board skills and experiences, judgment and integrity, reputation in their profession, diversity of background, education, leadership ability, concern for the interests of stockholders and relevant regulatory guidelines. These considerations are made in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at the particular point in time. We do not have a policy with respect to Board diversity, however, the Board seeks to have a Board that represents diversity as to gender, race, ethnicity, and background experiences. We are committed to inclusiveness and as such, when searching for director nominees, the Governance & Nominating Committee endeavors to include highly qualified diverse candidates (including gender, race, and ethnicity) in the pool from which nominees are chosen. Directors must be willing and able to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively and should be committed to serving on the Board for an extended period of time.

Board Diversity

As of April 4, 2024, the diversity of our Board was as follows:

Board Diversity Matrix
Total number of directors	8
Part I: Gender Identity	Female	Male
Directors	3	5
Part II: Demographic Background
African American or Black	1	—
White	2	5

Director Compensation

Our director compensation program is designed to compensate our non-employee directors fairly for work required for a company of our size and scope and to align their interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders. Director compensation reflects our desire to attract, retain, and use the expertise of highly qualified individuals serving on our Board. The Compensation & Talent Committee reviews the compensation structure and overall level of compensation arrangements for our non-employee directors every two years relative to the midpoint for non-employee directors of our Peer Group, as discussed in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section below, and makes recommendations to our Board.

Equity Awards

Effective May 12, 2023, our director compensation program provided that each non-employee director received a total annual equity grant of $182,500. The equity-based compensation was split equally ($91,250) between stock options and the director’s election for restricted stock, DSUs or a combination thereof. The components were granted on the date of the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, calculated as the grant date fair value of the equity awards computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”). The grants vest in four equal installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter, with the first vesting date occurring on June 30, 2023, provided the recipient remains a member of the Board as of each of the vesting dates. Stock options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. DSUs must be retained until completion of the director’s service on the Board, and upon completion of such service, convert into an equal number of shares of our common stock. A director may defer receipt of the shares for up to ten years after completion of service.

The Board established a CEO Search Committee in 2023 for the purposes of leading our CEO search efforts. The non-employee directors who served on the committee received a one-time equity grant on August 3, 2023, with a value of $20,000 of restricted stock or DSUs, as elected by the director. This resulted in a grant of 118 shares to each of Messrs. Soran and Wehrwein and Ms. Reaume. The awards vest immediately prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Additionally in connection with initial appointment to the Board, each new non-employee director receives a stock option grant to purchase $182,500 of shares of our common stock, granted following the release of earnings for the quarter in which appointment occurs. The shares vest in equal monthly installments over three years commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the initial appointment or election to the Board, provided the recipient remains a member of the Board as of each vesting date.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Under our stock ownership guidelines, we require our non-employee directors to own shares of our common stock having a fair market value equal to five times the directors’ annual base cash retainer ($175,000 for 2023). Non-employee directors must comply with the stock ownership guidelines within five years of their appointment to the Board. Until a non-employee director has achieved compliance with the ownership guidelines, the director must retain 50% of the net shares acquired upon exercise, vesting or settlement of any equity award. Currently, vested in-the-money options and vested RSUs count toward the ownership level, but effective January 1, 2027, unexercised stock options will not count toward the ownership level. As of March 22, 2024, all of our non-employee directors had met the stock ownership requirement or had served as a director for less than five years.

As of December 31, 2023, the non-employee directors held shares of unvested restricted stock, options, and exercisable options as follows:

We strive to use our global resources wisely and enable our customers to minimize their own impacts on the environment. To better understand and mitigate our environmental impacts, we conducted our inaugural greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions inventory in 2023, assessing our company-wide energy consumption, water usage, waste generation, and associated greenhouse gas emissions. To neutralize our impact, we purchased carbon offsets and renewable energy credits and are committed to disclosing our emissions profile on a regular basis on our Company website.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We value diversity, equity, and inclusion and believe our differences make us, our customers, and our communities better. We strive to create an organization where every employee feels welcomed and is empowered to do their best work. We make our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion a reality by incorporating it into our human resource core processes and our talent strategies. Our Employee Resource Groups ("ERGs") foster connections across the globe, provide learning, engagement, and networking opportunities for employees of similar identities and interests. Since 2008, we have invested in student programs focused on creating opportunities for high school and college students who are part of underrepresented populations including women, genderqueer and non-binary individuals, and racial minorities.

Chief Executive Officer Transition and Compensation

As previously disclosed, on October 2, 2023, Chad Collins was appointed as our CEO. At that time, Archie Black became our Executive Chair of the Board in order to support a smooth transition of the CEO role and to provide for Mr. Black’s leadership of the Board. In July 2023, we also announced the planned retirement of James Frome, President and Chief Operating Officer, effective December 31, 2024. The Board believes Mr. Frome's continued service through fiscal year 2024 also supports a smooth transition for Mr. Collins and our executive team.

28| Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Mr. Collins’ compensation was determined through negotiations with him and his representatives prior to his hire. In order to understand market compensation levels, our Compensation & Talent Committee (the "Committee") engaged its third-party compensation consultant, Compensia, Inc. ("Compensia") to provide market data from our compensation peer group as well as examples of recent new hire CEO compensation packages from similarly sized technology companies. The Committee considered this market data, Mr. Collins' prior experience, internal pay equity, and our other compensation determination factors (as described in “Factors Considered in Compensation Deliberations” on page 33) to determine the total direct compensation and other compensation elements that would attract and retain Mr. Collins as our CEO. The details of Mr. Collins' 2023 total compensation package are as follows:

•Base Salary: An initial annualized base salary of $525,000, of which he received a pro-rata amount for his three months as CEO in fiscal year 2023.

•Bonus/MIP: A cash bonus payment in the amount of $131,250, payable on the same date as the payouts under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) for fiscal year 2023. The Committee believed this was an important component of the overall package designed to attract Mr. Collins and create alignment upon his onboarding with the executive team. Mr. Collins will participate in the MIP for the 2024 fiscal year performance period.

•One-Time Supplemental Equity Award: In order to incentivize Mr. Collins to leave his prior employment and offset the value of the equity awards forfeited by Mr. Collins in connection with that departure, the Committee granted Mr. Collins a one-time supplemental equity award consisting of RSUs and PSUs.

◦The RSU award, with a value of approximately $6,500,000, was granted on November 2, 2023, with the number of RSUs determined by dividing the value by the closing stock price on the grant date. Of the award, RSUs with a value approximately $4,500,000 will vest as to one-fourth of the RSUs on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining RSUs will vest pro-rata over the following 36 consecutive months provided that Mr. Collins remains employed by the Company. The remaining approximately $2,000,000 of the RSUs subject to this award will vest as to half of the RSUs on the first anniversary of the date of grant with the remaining RSUs vesting pro-rata over the following 12 consecutive months provided that Mr. Collins remains employed by the Company.

◦The PSU award, with a value of approximately $2,000,000, was granted in 2024, at the same time and on the same terms as the 2024 annual PSU awards.

•Finally, in connection with the initial compensation package agreed to between the Company and Mr. Collins, in early 2024, Mr. Collins received an equity award, consisting of the 2024 annual equity award and a pro-rated 2023 annual equity award, consisting of RSUs and PSUs, as further described below.

Mr. Black served as our CEO until October 2, 2023, and then transitioned to Executive Chair. In connection with this transition, he continued to receive the same level of compensation and benefits as he did as CEO for the remaining three months of 2023. In 2024, Mr. Black will continue to serve as executive chair until our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will receive a reduced compensation package reflective of his continued services during this period. The Board believed Mr. Black’s role as Executive Chair, and his commensurate level of compensation, was crucial in providing for the smooth transition of the CEO role to Mr. Collins, and Mr. Black’s leadership to the Board.

Fiscal 2023 Executive Compensation Highlights

During the first quarter of 2023, the Committee took the following key compensation actions with respect to our NEOs:

•Base Salaries: We increased the base salaries of Messrs. Black and Frome and Ms. Nelson between 3% and 6% in order to appropriately compensate them given their performance and experience, as well as to maintain market competitiveness.

•Management Incentive Plan: We maintained our formula-based target incentive cash bonus opportunity. Ms. Nelson received an increase in her target percentage opportunity from 75% to 80% of her base salary, and Messrs. Black and Frome's target percentage opportunity remained consistent with the prior year. Based on our strong operating results for fiscal year 2023, the formula-based bonus was paid at 140% of target amounts.

•Equity Awards: We approved RSU equity awards and performance-based PSU equity awards, each representing approximately 50% of Mr. Black's, Mr. Frome's, and Ms. Nelson's equity awards for fiscal year 2023. As in prior years, the PSUs are based on our relative TSR performance against the Russell 2000 Index measured over a three-year period. The equity awards had a target value of $3.5 million to Ms. Nelson, $3.7 million to Mr. Frome, and $8.3 million to Mr. Black, in order to ensure total direct compensation was competitive considering the significant increases in the total direct compensation of similar roles in the market data, and to continue to drive long term performance and stockholder alignment. This represented an increase of between 9% and 57% of each of these executive's total equity award opportunity over the prior fiscal year.

•Successful Hiring and Transition of a new CEO: We successfully hired and transitioned to a new CEO in October 2023.

Summary of Compensation Program Elements

Our compensation program for our NEOs uses the following compensation elements:

Compensation Element	Purpose	What it Rewards
Base Salary	Attract, motivate, and retain top executive talent	Experience, skills, duties and responsibilities, and individual performance
Management Incentive Plan	Motivate our executives to achieve specific financial goals	Individual and company-wide performance

	Require double-trigger vesting of equity in the event of a change in control.
	Maintain robust stock ownership guidelines.
	Maintain a required incentive recoupment (i.e., clawback) policy and a supplemental clawback policy.

See "Other Compensation Policies" on pages 37-38 for more detailed information on certain of our compensation policies and practices.

Strong Say-on-Pay Support

96%

2023 Say-on-Pay Approval

Our Committee regularly considers the results of the stockholders’ advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs. The Committee considered the results of the say-on-pay vote when evaluating our compensation practices and policies and when setting the compensation of our NEOs for 2023 and determined that our compensation program was well aligned and properly supporting stockholders. The Committee believes that the significant support for the prior year say-on-pay proposal, and historical support as shown below, demonstrates stockholders’ strong support of our compensation program, policies, and practices.

Compensation Objectives

We set the compensation of our NEOs based on their ability to create sustainable long-term stockholder value in a cost-effective manner. Our executive compensation philosophy is to align executive compensation decisions with our desired business direction, strategy, and performance. The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are the following:

•Pay for Performance: Emphasize performance-based compensation, primarily PSUs and cash bonuses, that are tied to our financial and stock price performance in an effort to generate and reward superior individual and collective performance;

•Stockholder Alignment: Link our NEO’s incentive goals with the interests of our stockholders by providing equity-based compensation and establishing stock ownership guidelines for NEOs;

•Long-Term Success: Support and reward our NEOs for consistent performance over time and the achievement of our long-term strategic goals that align with the interests of our stockholders;

•Attraction and Retention: Attract and retain highly qualified executives whose abilities are critical to our success and competitive advantage; and

32| Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

•Promote Accountability and Discourage Excessive or Inappropriate Risk-Taking: Discourage excessive risk-taking by maintaining stock ownership guidelines, anti-hedging prohibitions, and clawback policies. The Committee also engaged Compensia to complete an executive compensation risk assessment, which has determined that our compensation programs do not create inappropriate or excessive risk that is likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

To achieve these objectives, we have designed an executive compensation program that is significantly weighted towards long-term compensation. This approach aids us in the retention of executive officers and assures that the interests of our executive officers and stockholders are aligned. As previously mentioned, we provide compensation to our NEOs through a combination of base salary, incentive compensation, and equity awards (RSUs and PSUs under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan).

While we have identified particular compensation objectives that each element of executive compensation serves, our compensation program is designed to be flexible and complementary and to collectively serve all of the executive compensation objectives described above. Accordingly, we believe that as a part of our overall executive compensation approach, each individual element, to a greater or lesser extent, serves each of our objectives.

Peer Group

Our Committee determines executive compensation, in part, by reference to market data for the executives of a peer group of comparable companies. This market data from our compensation peer group is valuable to the Committee because it provides insight into competitive pay practices for each of the elements of total direct compensation as well as confirms the reasonableness of its compensation decisions. The Committee, with the assistance of Compensia, reviews and approves our compensation peer group annually to ensure it reflects industry or economic changes and our selection criteria. Our current selection criteria include U.S.-based software companies with trailing four quarters revenue between 50% and 200% of our trailing four quarters revenue and with a market capitalization between 50% and 300% of our market capitalization at the time of review.

For purposes of 2023 compensation decisions, our Committee reviewed a formal compensation study and executive compensation market assessment prepared by Compensia in 2022, which included the following peer group companies:

Alteryx	PagerDuty
AppFolio	Paylocity Holding
Appian	Q2 Holdings
Asana	Qualys
Blackline	Rapid7
Fastly	SailPoint Technologies
Health Catalyst	Smartsheet
Jamf Holding	Varonis Systems
LivePerson	Workiva
nCino	Zuora

In comparison to the prior year peers, we replaced three companies. We removed 8x8 and PROS Holdings as those companies had market capitalization values below our comparison range and we also removed Talend as the company was acquired. We added Alteryx, AppFolio, Asana, Jamf Holding, and nCino because they met our selection criteria. We generally aim to have approximately 20 peer group members to ensure a proper level of data analysis.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Factors Considered in Compensation Deliberations

The Committee does not use a single method or measure in setting or approving the target total direct compensation opportunities for each individual compensation element for our NEOs, nor is the weighting of any one factor on the determination of pay elements and levels quantifiable in comparison to the other factors. The Committee begins with a review of the market data and then considers the factors below when selecting and setting the amount of each compensation element for our NEOs, which provides a framework for its compensation decision-making:

•Our executive compensation program objectives;

•Our performance against the financial and operational goals and objectives established by the Committee and our Board;

•Each NEO's qualifications, knowledge, skills, experience, and tenure relative to other similarly situated executives at the companies in our compensation peer group;

•The scope of each NEO’s role and responsibilities compared to other similarly-situated executives at the companies in our compensation peer group;

•The prior performance of each NEO, based on an assessment of their contributions to our overall performance, and ability to lead their business unit or function and drive company-wide strategy in collaboration with the entire executive team;

•The potential of each NEO to contribute to our long-term financial, operational, and strategic objectives;

•The CEO’s compensation relative to that of our other executive officers, and compensation parity among our executive officers;

•Our financial performance relative to our peers;

•The compensation practices of our compensation peer group and the positioning of each NEO’s compensation in a ranking of peer company compensation levels based on an analysis of competitive market data;

•In the case of long-term incentive compensation, the value of unvested equity awards held by each of our NEOs, including the equity awards and other long-term compensation opportunities granted to each executive officer in prior years; and

•The recommendations provided by our CEO regarding the compensation of our other NEOs, as described below.

These factors provide the framework for decision-making by the Committee with respect to the compensation of each of our NEOs.

Base Salary

Base salaries are used to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge, and responsibilities required of all our employees, including our NEOs. Initially at the time of their hire, base salaries for each of our NEOs were established based on arm’s-length negotiations between us and the executive and the other factors discussed below. Subsequently, our Committee reviews the base salaries of our NEOs annually at the beginning of each year. When negotiating or reviewing base salaries, the Committee considers market competitiveness based on experience, the executive’s expected future contribution to our success, the relative base salaries and responsibilities of our other executives, the executive's prior year performance, and the market data of similarly situated roles in our compensation peer group. Considering such factors, the Committee increased base salaries for Messrs. Black and Frome, and Ms. Nelson for fiscal year 2023, based on performance, experience, and market competitiveness. This represented the first base salary increase for these individuals since fiscal year 2021.

Name	2023 Base Salary ($)	2022 Base Salary ($)	Increase
Kimberly Nelson	400,000	385,000	4	%
James Frome	425,000	400,000	6	%
Archie Black	538,000	523,000	3	%

34| Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Management Incentive Plan

Our NEOs participate in our Management Incentive Plan, which provides them with an opportunity to receive a formula-based cash bonus. The bonus is intended to motivate our executives to achieve specific financial goals that will drive the growth and success of our business.

The formula-based bonus is determined by a target bonus opportunity (relative to the NEO's base salary) for each NEO established by the Committee at the beginning of each year. The Committee establishes the target bonus opportunity at an amount it believes is necessary to:

•provide competitive overall total cash compensation in light of each NEO's base salary;

•motivate our executives to achieve an aggressive level of growth; and

•promote our pay for performance compensation objective.

For 2023, target bonus opportunities for each of Messrs. Black and Frome remained the same as 2022. Ms. Nelson's percentage opportunity increased from 75% to 80% of base salary to remain competitive with the total cash compensation level for similar roles within the market data. The amount of the bonus, if any, actually paid to executives after the end of the year is determined by the matrix approved by the Committee. The matrix takes into account our revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, and other adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDA”)(1).

The formula-based bonus is based in part on revenues because, given the scalability of our current core business, the Committee believes revenue growth has the most significant impact on our financial results. The Committee also believes the bonus should be based in part on Adjusted EBITDA, because Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets.

The matrix approved for 2023 provided that each executive would receive a percentage of their target formula-based bonus, between zero and 195%, based on our actual revenues and Adjusted EBITDA performance for the year. In line with our pay-for-performance objective, if either the minimum revenue or Adjusted EBITDA threshold was not achieved, zero bonus would have been earned.

Per the Management Incentive Plan, the Committee has the ability to adjust the established thresholds for revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in the event we completed any acquisitions during the year to reflect the Company's operating performance. The Committee exercised such discretion for 2023 and adjusted thresholds for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA based on the financial results of the TIE Kinetix Holding B.V. acquisition.

The Committee approved the matrix with the intent that achieving 100% of an executive’s target bonus will be a difficult but achievable goal in light of the prior year’s results of operations and anticipated growth for 2023. As a result of 2023 operating results, the formula-based bonus for Messrs. Black and Frome and Ms. Nelson was determined to be earned at 140% of the target amount, paid in 2024.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to Appendix A in this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP measure.

Equity Awards

The equity awards granted to our NEOs reflect the pay levels our Committee believes are appropriate relative to the market data, each executive’s individual performance, and maintaining an overall competitive compensation package. We believe equity awards are an important element of compensation because they align our NEOs' interests with those of our shareholders. Equity awards make up a significant portion of our NEOs' total compensation package and we anticipate that equity compensation will remain a significant part of our executive compensation program in the future. Our equity awards will continue to be granted on an annual basis to ensure a continued unvested equity component remains as a long-term incentive for each of our executives. When determining the size of the equity award for our NEOs, our Committee considers the executive’s position and responsibilities, internal pay equity, competitive market data, CEO recommendations for the other NEOs, and the anticipated future contribution the executive will make to our growth and success.

The Committee increased the total value of the equity awards granted to Messrs. Black and Frome by 57% and 9%, respectively, and Ms. Nelson by 28% in 2023. The Committee believed these increases were necessary to ensure competitiveness with our compensation peer group considering significant increases in the market data. In addition, the Committee considered individual performance and continued strong financial performance of the Company when determining the equity award amounts. See below for the amount and mix of equity awards types granted to our NEOs.

RSUs

RSUs generally vest over four years and are intended to provide a strong retention component to the compensation program as they require the executives to maintain continuous employment with us in order for the awards to vest.

PSUs

PSUs are earned over a three-year performance period depending on the Company’s performance during such performance period and the award recipient’s continued employment. We believe PSUs further align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders because the executives only earn the PSUs if certain performance goals are achieved.

The PSUs granted in 2023 will be earned contingent upon successful attainment of predetermined TSR targets, relative to Russell 2000 companies (the “Index”) over the course of the applicable performance period. PSUs vest in the quarter following the end of the performance period, upon the Committee's certification of the level of performance and number of PSUs earned. The Index was selected because it is a major, broad index of stocks of which we are a component and many members are similar in size to SPS. The three-year period was designed to provide a long-term performance period to align NEO compensation with long-term stockholder returns. The following table sets forth the TSR targets for PSUs granted to our NEOs in each of 2021, 2022, and 2023:

Company TSR as Compared to Index TSR	Percentage of Target PSUs Earned
Company TSR is more than 10% less than Index TSR	0%
Company TSR is 10% less than Index TSR	40% (threshold)
Company TSR is equal to Index TSR	80%
Company TSR is 5% greater than Index TSR	100% (target)
Company TSR is 30% greater than Index TSR	200% (maximum)

If the Company’s TSR is greater than the Index TSR but is negative, the percentage of PSUs earned is capped at 100%. If the comparison of the Company’s TSR against the Index TSR falls between the levels specified in the above table, the corresponding PSUs earned will be determined by a linear interpolation.

In early 2024, the Committee certified results for the 2021 – 2023 performance period for PSUs granted in 2021. Based on the Company’s TSR achieved relative to the Index TSR, the maximum performance was achieved, the maximum number of PSUs were earned, and the earned PSUs vested in 2024. See below for the calculation of the earned PSUs.

Performance Period: 2021 – 2023
Company TSR	83	%
Index TSR	1	%
Company TSR in Excess of Index TSR	82	%
Percent of Target PSUs Earned	(maximum) 200 %

The earned but unvested PSUs are included in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” Table.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Role of the Committee, Consultants and NEOs in Determining Compensation

Historically and in 2023, the Committee has determined all elements of compensation for our NEOs. Generally, prior to making its compensation determinations, our CEO provides his review of our other NEOs to the Committee. Our Committee engages Compensia, a national independent compensation consultant, to help evaluate our compensation philosophy and practices and to provide guidance in administering our compensation program. Our Committee has determined that Compensia is independent, knowledgeable and has access to a wealth of data to inform the Committee's decisions. The services provided by Compensia do not raise any conflict of interests.

Other Compensation Policies

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Under our stock ownership guidelines, our NEOs are required to beneficially own the following shares of common stock relative to their annual base salary:

Position	Common Stock Ownership Requirement Relative to Base Salary
CEO	3x
Other NEOs	1x

A NEO has five years from the date they become subject to the ownership guidelines to achieve compliance with the guidelines. Until a NEO has achieved compliance with the ownership guidelines, the individual must retain 50% of the net shares acquired upon exercise, vesting or settlement of any equity award. The following shares will not be counted toward satisfaction of our ownership guidelines: (i) shares subject to a compensatory equity-based award of any kind that has not yet vested; and (ii) shares subject to a stock appreciation right, restricted stock unit, deferred stock unit or similar award that has not yet been exercised and is not in-the-money. Each of our NEOs was in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines as of March 22, 2024.

Insider Trading Policy - Hedging, Pledging and Other Restricted Transactions

Under our Insider Trading Policy, our officers, directors, and all other employees, are prohibited from engaging in the following transactions with respect to our securities:

•Purchasing our securities on margin, or otherwise pledging our securities;

•Short sales of our securities (selling securities not owned at the time of sale);

•Buying or selling put or call options or other derivative securities based on our securities;

•Purchasing any financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, zero cost collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our securities; and

•Engaging in limit orders or other pre-arranged transactions that execute automatically, except for “same-day” limit orders and approved 10b5-1 plans.

In addition, our Insider Trading Policy restricts the periods during which our officers, directors and certain other employees can transact in our stock and includes other provisions and requirements related to their trading in out stock.

Clawback Policy

We previously maintained a clawback policy covering recovery of certain incentive compensation received by executive officers under certain circumstances. In light of the incentive compensation recovery rules and listing standards that were finalized in 2023, effective October 2, 2023, we adopted a revised clawback policy pursuant to, and in compliance with, Rule 10D-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as amended, SEC regulations promulgated thereunder, and applicable Nasdaq listing standards (the "Required Clawback Policy"), as well as a supplemental clawback policy consistent with our prior clawback policy (the "Supplemental Clawback Policy").

38| Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Required Clawback Policy applies to all incentive-based compensation, which is any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure, received by officers of the Company, as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act (“executive officers”). The Required Clawback Policy provides that, in the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement, the Committee will determine the amount of the erroneously awarded compensation, which is the excess of the amount of incentive-based compensation received by current and former executive officers during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the required restatement date over the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts. The Company will provide each such executive officer with a written notice of such amount and a demand for repayment or return. If such repayment or return is not made within a reasonable time, the Recoupment Policy provides that the Company will recover the erroneously awarded compensation in a reasonable and prompt manner using any lawful method, subject to limited exceptions as permitted by Nasdaq listing standards.

The Supplemental Clawback Policy provides that if any senior vice president or above (including executive officers) of the Company is determined by the Committee to have engaged in misconduct resulting in either a violation of the law or of Company policy that has caused significant financial or reputational harm to the Company and either the individual committed the misconduct directly or failed in his or her responsibility to manage or monitor the applicable conduct or risks, then the Committee may determine to require recovery from such individual of any or all incentive compensation (which includes any annual or long-term incentive compensation, including equity-based compensation) that was awarded, vested or paid or is scheduled to be vested or paid during any fiscal year in which the misconduct occurred.

Other Compensation

Perquisites are not a material aspect of our executive compensation program. All of our full-time employees, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in our 401(k) Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), subject to limitations established by law. In the 401(k) Plan, participants can contribute up to 80% of their compensation, subject to the limits established by law, and we match 50% of the participants’ contribution up to the first 6% of pre-tax annual compensation. A portion of our match is in Company stock, which is purchased in the open market by our plan provider and immediately deposited into the participants’ 401(k) account. Our ESPP allows participants to contribute up to 10% of their compensation, subject to limitation established by the law, to purchase common stock on an after-tax basis, at a price that is the lower of 85% of the fair market value of our common stock at the beginning or end of each stock purchase period.

Severance, Change in Control, and Retirement Benefits

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our NEOs that require us to provide certain payments and benefits to them in the event of specified events, including termination of employment, a change in control of the Company, and retirement, with certain conditions. Our employment agreements require double-trigger vesting of equity in the event of a change in control. We believe that these payments and benefits are necessary to attract and retain our executives to join our Company and that they are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders as they ensure that because they help assure us that we will have the continued dedication and objectivity of our executives, notwithstanding the possibility or occurrence of a change in control or planned retirement. See further discussion on these agreements in the "Potential Payments Upon Termination, Retirement, or Change in Control" below.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Tax Implications

Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), compensation paid to our NEOs in excess of $1 million is not deductible. The Committee believes that stockholder interests are best served if its discretion and flexibility in structuring and awarding compensation is not restricted, even though some compensation awards result in non-deductible compensation expenses to the Company. Also, our Committee takes into account whether components of our compensation program may be subject to the penalty tax associated with Section 409A of the Code and aims to structure the elements of compensation to be compliant with or exempt from Section 409A to avoid such potential adverse tax consequences.

Accounting Implications

The Committee considers the impact of accounting treatment in developing and implementing our compensation programs, including the accounting treatment of amounts awarded or paid to our NEOs. We measure and recognize compensation expense in accordance with the corresponding accounting guidance, ASC 718, for stock-based payments, which requires that compensation expense relating to stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the awards issued.

Compensation & Talent Committee Report

We have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. We have recommended to the Board the inclusion of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

We do not offer non-qualified deferred compensation to our NEOs.

Employment Agreements

We have employment agreements with our NEOs that include severance and change in control components. Additionally, we have confidentiality and non-competition agreements with each of these executive officers requiring the executive officers not to disclose our confidential information at any time. The agreements also require the executive officers not to compete with us or solicit our employees to engage in other employment during the term of their employment with us and for one year thereafter.

The employment agreements with our NEOs address various termination of employment and change in control scenarios. Payment of amounts under these circumstances is subject to certain conditions and limitations, including that the executive officer must execute a release of claims against us. The terms of potential payments under these agreements upon a termination of employment or change in control are summarized below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination, Retirement, or Change in Control.”

Potential Payments Upon Termination, Retirement, or Change in Control

We have entered into various agreements that will require us to provide certain payments and benefits to our NEOs in the event of certain specified termination of employment, including a termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company. In the event of change of control, each NEO's employment agreement provides for double-trigger vesting of equity. All payments and benefits noted below are conditional upon the execution of release and continued compliance with confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation agreements.

For these purposes, the following terms are defined:

•“Change in Control Period” means the period starting three months immediately before a Change in Control and continuing for 12 months immediately following a Change in Control.

•“Cause” for termination exists upon (i) failure by the NEO to cure his or her material breach of the terms of a non-competition/non-solicitation agreement between us and the officer within 30 days of receipt of written notice of breach from us; (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct by the officer; (iii) conviction of the officer of a crime involving moral turpitude or any felony; (iv) willful violation of instructions from our Board or Chief Executive Officer; or (v) fraud, embezzlement, theft or proven dishonesty against us.

•“Good Reason” is defined to mean the occurrence of any of the following events, in each case without the NEO's consent: (i) a reduction of 10% or more in Employee’s base salary or annual bonus opportunity, (ii) a material reduction in the NEO's employment responsibilities, including a reduction in title or the Company no longer a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (iii) a material reduction in the executive officer’s employment responsibilities, or (iii) a relocation of the executive officer’s primary work location by more than 30 miles.

Change in Control without Termination or Resignation

Generally, option agreements and RSU agreements executed pursuant to our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan provide that in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of our assets or a merger, consolidation or share exchange involving our Company, the surviving or successor entity may continue, assume or replace some or all of the outstanding awards under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. If awards granted to any participant are not continued, assumed or replaced, the administrator may provide for the surrender of any outstanding award in exchange for payment to the holder of the amount of the consideration that would have been received in the event for the number of shares subject to the award less the aggregate exercise price (if any) of the award. In the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan) of the Company that does not involve a merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale of all or substantially all of our Company’s assets, the plan administrator, in its discretion, may provide that any outstanding award will become fully vested and exercisable upon the change in control or that any outstanding award will be surrendered in exchange for payment to the holder of the amount of the consideration that would have been received in the change in control for the number of shares subject to the award less the aggregate exercise price (if any) of the award.

The PSU agreements executed pursuant to our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan provide that in the event a change in control of the Company occurs prior to the scheduled vesting date of a PSU award and the NEO continues serving until the date of the change in control, the applicable performance period will be truncated and will end as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of the change in control and the executive will be entitled to have vest as of the date of the change in control the number of PSUs that are determined to have been earned based on actual performance against the performance goal specified in the agreement over the truncated performance period. The PSU award agreements provide that the preceding determination of the number of PSUs to be paid out upon a change in control shall be deemed to satisfy any applicable change in control acceleration provisions contained in the executive officer’s employment or severance agreements.

Potential Payments Schedule

The following table lists the potential payments and benefits upon a retirement, termination of employment, or change in control of the Company for our NEOs. The tables assume the triggering event for the payments or provision of benefits occurred on December 31, 2023, the last day of our last completed fiscal year. Amounts in the table for the acceleration of unvested stock options are calculated based on the number of shares of our common stock subject to accelerated stock options multiplied by the difference between the closing price for a share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on the last trading day of our last completed fiscal year, and the per share exercise price. The amounts in the table for the acceleration of RSUs and PSUs are determined by multiplying the number of accelerated units by the closing price for our common stock on December 29, 2023, the last trading day of 2023.

Because Mr. Black had not yet retired as of December 31, 2023, the following table sets forth the potential payments and benefits to him upon the circumstances set forth in the table. However, as previously disclosed, Mr. Black is not standing for re-election, and will retire, at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, at which time he will receive the benefits under the retirement provisions of his employment agreement as described above.

(1)The amounts for health benefits were determined via employer paid health and dental benefits incurred in 2023 for the NEO.

(2)Upon retirement, outstanding PSUs will continue to vest on each originally scheduled vesting date in an amount equal to the number of units subject to the awards that would otherwise have been determined to have been earned if the grantee remained continuously employed by the Company through the originally scheduled vesting dates. Because these performance determinations cannot be made until after December 31, 2023, the amount included in the Retirement column reflects the value of estimated performance level at December 31, 2023.

(3)Upon a change in control, the PSU performance period for outstanding PSUs will be truncated and will end as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of change in control. Vesting will be as of the date of change in control and based on actual performance over the truncated performance period. The amount noted in the 'Change in Control Without Award Continuance/Assumption/Replacement (No Termination or Resignation)' column reflects the value of the outstanding PSUs based on an estimated performance level at December 31, 2023.

(4)NEOs (other than Mr. Collins) become retirement eligible when the sum of the executive officer’s age plus years of service as an employee of the Company is 78. Mr. Collins becomes retirement eligible when Mr. Collins is at least 57 years old and has completed eight years of continuous service with the Company, or Mr. Collins is at least 63 years old (without regard to years of service). Each of our executive officer’s age and years and service as of December 31, 2023 was as follows:

Name	Age	Years of Service	Total
Chad Collins	48	0	48
Kimberly Nelson	56	16	72
James Frome	59	23	82
Archie Black	61	25	86

(5)In connection with his retirement upon conclusion of our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Mr. Black will not receive pro-rata cash incentive bonus payment as he did not receive an annual cash incentive opportunity in 2024.

CEO Pay Ratio

We are providing the following information about the annual compensation relationship between our median employee and our CEO for 2023:

•the median total compensation of all employees of our Company (other than our CEO) was $88,579; and

•the total compensation of Mr. Collins, our CEO for part of 2023, was $7,549,877.

Based on this information, the ratio of Mr. Collins' total compensation to the median employee's total compensation was 85:1. We believe this pay ratio to be a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

For 2023, we identified our median employee based on the total cash and equity compensation paid during 2023 to all 2,487 members of our workforce (including full-time, part-time and temporary employees as well as certain independent contractors), other than our CEO, who were employed on December 31, 2023. For purposes of determining the total cash and equity compensation of each employee, we included the contractual amount of annual base salary, the annual target bonus and commission cash incentives, and the grant date fair value of equity awards granted during 2023. We did not include any adjustments for the value of benefits provided.

Once we determined the median employee, we determined the median employee's total compensation for 2023 in the same manner that we determine the total compensation of our NEOs for purposes of the 2023 Summary Compensation Table.

For the purpose of the CEO pay ratio, we identified Mr. Collins as the CEO given he served in that role on December 31, 2023, the date we used to identify our median employee, as described above. We calculated the total compensation of Mr. Collins as his salary and cash bonus, as noted in the 2023 Summary Compensation Table, annualized, plus his equity compensation (which was not annualized as this would not have changed had he served in the role for the entire year).

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT AND PAYMENT OF FEES TO OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Relationship Between Pay and Performance

We believe the Compensation Actually Paid in each of the years reported above and over the cumulative period are reflective of the Compensation & Talent Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” as the Compensation Actually Paid fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due our stock price and varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our Management Incentive Plan and equity program, including our Adjusted EBITDA and TSR performance. Due to the leverage of our executive compensation program toward long-term incentives through grants of PSUs and RSUs, the Compensation Actually Paid is most significantly impacted by changes in our stock price over the vesting period of the awards. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement describes in greater detail the Compensation & Talent Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” and how our executive compensation program is designed to link executive compensation with the achievement of our financial and strategic objectives as well as stockholder value creation.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT AND PAYMENT OF FEES TO OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Audit Committee Report

The primary function of our Audit Committee is oversight of our accounting and financial reporting process, publicly filed financial reports, internal accounting and financial controls, and the independent audit of our consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of SPS Commerce, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2023 were audited by KPMG, our independent auditor.

As part of its activities, the Audit Committee has:

1.Reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditor;

2.Discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC; and

3.Received the written disclosures and letter from the independent auditor required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent auditor the independent auditor’s independence.

Management is responsible for the Company’s system of internal controls and financial reporting process. KPMG is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and for issuing reports thereon. Our committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. Based on the foregoing review and discussions and a review of the reports of KPMG with respect to the consolidated financial statements, and relying thereon, we have recommended to the Board the inclusion of the audited consolidated financial statements in SPS Commerce, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for filing with the SEC.

ITEM 2 – RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Auditor Services Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee has adopted an auditor services pre-approval policy applicable to services performed for us by our independent auditor. In accordance with this policy, the Audit Committee’s practice is to approve annually all audit, audit-related, and tax and other services to be provided by the independent auditor during the year. If a service to be provided is not pre-approved as part of the annual process or if it may exceed pre-approved fee levels, the service must receive a specific and separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee, which may delegate authority to grant such pre-approvals during the year to one or more independent members of the Audit Committee. Any pre-approvals granted pursuant to delegated authority must be reported to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting.

Our Audit Committee has determined that the provision of the non-audit services described in the table above was compatible with maintaining the independence of our independent auditor. The Audit Committee reviews each non-audit service to be provided and assesses the impact of the service on the auditor’s independence.

ITEM 3 – ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

ITEM 2 – RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

The Audit Committee has selected KPMG to serve as our independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2024. While it is not required to do so, our Board is submitting the selection of KPMG for ratification in order to ascertain the views of our stockholders with respect to the choice of audit firm. If the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection. Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, will be available to answer stockholder questions, and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

The Board recommends that you vote FOR ratification of the selection of KPMG as the independent auditor of SPS Commerce, Inc. and our subsidiaries for the year ending December 31, 2024. Proxies will be voted FOR ratification of this selection unless otherwise specified.

ITEM 4 – APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE NINTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF SPS COMMERCE, INC. TO ALLOW FOR EXCULPATION OF OFFICERS

ITEM 3 – ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

We are providing our stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement (a “Say-on-Pay” vote). As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we have designed the compensation arrangements for our NEOs to provide compensation in overall amounts and in forms that attract and retain talented and experienced individuals and motivate our executive officers to achieve the goals that are important to our growth. During 2023, our compensation primarily consisted of RSU awards and PSU awards, which help align the incentives of our NEOs with the interests of our stockholders, as well as annual cash incentive awards and base salary.

We ask our stockholders to cast an advisory vote on our executive compensation program at each annual meeting. As a result, we are presenting this proposal, which gives you, as a stockholder, the opportunity to endorse our executive compensation program by voting for or against the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve the compensation of the SPS Commerce, Inc. NEOs, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the related disclosure contained in our 2023 Proxy Statement.”

The Compensation & Talent Committee believes that the executive compensation for 2023 is reasonable and appropriate, is justified by our performance, and is the result of a carefully considered approach. In deciding how to vote on this proposal, the Board asks you to consider the key points with regard to our executive compensation program included in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of this Proxy Statement.

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board or the Compensation & Talent Committee and will not overrule any decision by the Board or the Compensation & Talent Committee or require the Board or the Compensation & Talent Committee to take any action. However, the Board and the Compensation & Talent Committee will carefully review the voting results. To the extent there is any significant negative vote on this proposal, we may consult directly with stockholders to better understand the concerns that influenced the vote. The Board and the Compensation & Talent Committee consider constructive feedback obtained through this process in making future decisions about our executive compensation program. We currently hold our Say-on-Pay vote every year so the next advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs will occur at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. The next advisory vote regarding the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes will occur at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation & Talent Committee, recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the compensation of our NEOs. Proxies will be voted FOR this proposal unless otherwise specified.

ITEM 4 – APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE NINTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF SPS COMMERCE, INC. TO ALLOW FOR EXCULPATION OF OFFICERS

ITEM 4 – APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE NINTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF SPS COMMERCE, INC. TO ALLOW FOR EXCULPATION OF OFFICERS

In August 2022, the State of Delaware, which is the Company’s state of incorporation, enacted legislation that enables Delaware corporations to limit the personal liability of certain of their officers for monetary damages for breach of the duty of care in certain circumstances, as permitted under Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). In light of this legislation, the Board has adopted, and recommends that stockholders approve, an amendment to the Company’s Ninth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) to allow for exculpation of certain of the Company’s officers to the extent permitted by Delaware law (the “Exculpation Amendment”). The full text of the Exculpation Amendment is attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

In accordance with the DGCL, the officers who would be covered by the Exculpation Amendment include any officer who, during the course of conduct alleged to be wrongful, (i) is or was the Company’s president, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief legal officer, controller, treasurer, or chief accounting officer; (ii) is or was identified in the Company’s public filings with the SEC as one of the most highly compensated officers of the Company; or (iii) has, by written agreement with the Company, consented to being identified as an officer for purposes of accepting service of process.

The Exculpation Amendment is aligned with the narrow class and type of claims for which certain officers’ liability can be exculpated under Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL. Accordingly, the Exculpation Amendment would only permit exculpation for direct claims (as opposed to derivative claims made by stockholders on behalf of the Company) and would not apply to: (i) breaches of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or (iii) any transaction in which the officer derived an improper personal benefit.

In considering whether to propose the Exculpation Amendment, the Board considered that the role of an officer (like the role of a director) often requires them to make time-sensitive decisions on critical matters that can create substantial risk of investigations, claims, actions, lawsuits, or proceedings seeking to impose liability on the basis of hindsight, especially in the current litigious environment and regardless of merit. The Board believes the proposed Exculpation Amendment better aligns the protections available to the Company’s officers with those currently available to the Company’s directors and would lower the risk of plaintiffs’ lawyers adding officers to direct claims relating to breaches of the duty of care, which can lead to increased litigation and insurance costs.

In addition, the Board believes that the Exculpation Amendment would better position the Company to continue to attract and retain top executive talent by providing protection against the potential exposure to liabilities and costs of defense tied to such claims. For these reasons, and taking into account the narrow class of officers and the limits on the types of claims for which those officers’ liability would be exculpated, the Board determined that approval of the Exculpation Amendment to allow for exculpation of certain of the Company’s officers is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

If the stockholders approve the Exculpation Amendment, it will become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate (the "Certificate of Amendment") with the Delaware Secretary of State, which the Company anticipates doing immediately following stockholder approval. Other than the changes to the heading of Article 8 and the text of Section 8.1, the remainder of the Company’s Restated Certificate will remain unchanged after effectiveness of the Certificate of Amendment. The complete text of the proposed Exculpation Amendment is attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND

RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Related Persons

Transactions or a series of similar transactions, to which we were a party or will be a party, are considered a related party transaction if:

•the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and

•any of our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of our common stock or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

During 2023, we did not have any such related party transactions.

Director Indemnification Agreements

We entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors that provide, in general, that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with their service to us or on our behalf.

Policy for Approval of Related Person Transactions

The Board has adopted a written statement of policy regarding transactions with related persons, which we refer to as our related person policy. Our related person policy requires that any executive officer requesting to enter into a transaction with a “related person” generally must promptly disclose to our Audit Committee the related person transaction and all material facts with respect thereto. In reviewing a transaction, our Audit Committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including (1) the commercial reasonableness of the terms, (2) the benefit and perceived benefits, or lack thereof, to us, (3) opportunity costs of alternate transactions and (4) the materiality and character of the related person’s interest, and the actual or apparent conflict of interest of the related person. Our Audit Committee will not approve or ratify a related person transaction unless it determines that, upon consideration of all relevant information, the transaction is beneficial to our Company and stockholders and the terms of the transaction are fair to our Company. No related person transaction will be consummated without the approval or ratification of our Audit Committee. It is our policy that directors interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any vote relating to a related person transaction in which they have an interest. Under our related person policy, a “related person” includes any of our directors, director nominees, executive officers, any beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock and any immediate family member of any of the foregoing. Related person transactions exempt from our policy include transactions available to all of our employees and stockholders on the same terms and transactions between us and the related person that, when aggregated with the amount of all other transactions between us and the related person or its affiliates, involve less than $120,000 in a fiscal year.

Appendix B-1

RECONCILIATION OF
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We disclose Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to our management, Board, and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance, consists of net income adjusted for income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, realized gain or loss from foreign currency on cash and investments held, investment income or loss, and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, other adjustments included the expense impacts from acquisition-related employee severance costs and disposals of certain capitalized internally developed software. For the year ended December 31, 2021, other adjustments included disposals of cloud hosting arrangement implementation costs and accelerated tenant improvement benefit, which was incurred as part of executing a lease agreement. This tenant improvement adjustment was partially offset by accelerated depreciation, which is included within Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and was also incurred as part of executing a lease agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2020, other adjustments included disposals of certain capitalized internally developed software and cloud hosting arrangement implementation costs in addition to an earn-out liability fair value adjustment.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

	Year Ended December 31,

We believe the Compensation Actually Paid in each of the years reported above and over the cumulative period are reflective of the Compensation & Talent Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” as the Compensation Actually Paid fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due our stock price and varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our Management Incentive Plan and equity program, including our Adjusted EBITDA and TSR performance. Due to the leverage of our executive compensation program toward long-term incentives through grants of PSUs and RSUs, the Compensation Actually Paid is most significantly impacted by changes in our stock price over the vesting period of the awards. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement describes in greater detail the Compensation & Talent Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” and how our executive compensation program is designed to link executive compensation with the achievement of our financial and strategic objectives as well as stockholder value creation.
