I. INTRODUCTION A. Summary of Plaintiffs’ Allegations Zuora, a Delaware corporation headquartered in Redwood City, California, is a software company that designs and sells service applications for companies. The Company is a cloud-based subscription platform that provides software to enable companies across multiple industries and geographies to launch, manage, or transform to a subscription-based model. Zuora Billing (“Billing”) is a software that helps Zuora’s customers bill their subscribers. Zuora RevPro (“RevPro”) is a software that helps Zuora’s customers properly recognize revenue. In the Litigation, Plaintiffs allege, as reflected in the shareholder derivative complaints, that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Zuora and its stockholders by making or causing Zuora to make public statements that falsely represented that data generated by Billing was easily integrated into RevPro, thereby streamlining a customer’s bookkeeping. Plaintiffs further allege that, in truth, customers needed to either manually export billing data from Billing and then manually input it into RevPro, or create their own integration software, which was expensive and time-consuming., and thus a key draw of the Company’s software was not as advertised. Plaintiffs allege in the Litigation that the Individual Defendants failed to disclose material issues with the Company’s primary products, and, as a result, the price of the Company’s securities during and after the initial public offering of its common stock (the “IPO”) was artificially inflated. Plaintiffs further allege that the Individual Defendants were unjustly enriched, and that certain of the Individual Defendants sold their personally held shares of Zuora stock at artificially inflated prices while in possession of material nonpublic information.

The Company also announced that it was reducing its guidance for the upcoming quarter and fiscal year 2020, and revealed that defendant Diouane would be stepping down as President and Head of Sales. On an earnings conference call that same day, defendant Tzuo revealed two reasons that led the Company to lower its guidance for the fiscal year: (1) the Company needed to improve its sales execution, and (2) the product integration for the Company’s Billing and RevPro software was taking longer than expected . The Litigation alleges that the Company had represented for over a year that Billing and RevPro were already integrated, but that defendant Tzuo’s statements on April 30, 2019 were an acknowledgment that the integration issue was not expected to be resolved until the quarter ended October 31, 2019. Among other damages to Zuora, the Litigation alleges that the Individual Defendants’ misconduct exposed Zuora to liability in the consolidated securities class action pending in the Northern District of California captioned Roberts v. Zuora, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-03422-SI (the “Federal Class Action”) and the consolidated securities class action pending in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, captioned Olson v. Tzuo, Case No. 20-CIV-01918 (the “State Class Action,” and together with the Federal Class Action, the “Securities Class Actions”). As set forth in more detail in Section III, infra, the Individual Defendants deny all allegations and contentions made by Plaintiffs, and each of them, in the Litigation. B. Procedural Background 1. The California Consolidated Action On September 10, 2019, plaintiff Lichter filed a complaint in the Northern District of California on behalf of Zuora against certain of the Individual Defendants asserting violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets (the “Lichter Action”). That same day, plaintiff Beaven filed a related shareholder derivative complaint in the Northern District of California on behalf of Zuora against certain of the Individual Defendants asserting the same claims as in the Lichter Action styled as Beaven v. Tzou, et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-05702-SI (the “Beaven Action”). On January 13, 2020, the parties to the Lichter Action and the Beaven Action stipulated Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 5 of 71

The Northern District of California so-ordered the stipulation on February 10, 2020. On March 30, 2020, the parties to the California Consolidated Action stipulated to appoint co-lead counsel and to stay the California Consolidated Action pending the resolution of a motion to dismiss in the Federal Class Action. On August 28, 2020, the parties to the California Consolidated Action stipulated to stay the California Action until the completion of fact discovery in the Federal Class Action. The Northern District of California entered an order pursuant to this stipulation on August 31, 2020. On March 3, 2021, the Court entered a stipulated protective order and Zuora began producing confidential documents. After reviewing documents Zuora produced, on March 15, 2022, Plaintiffs Lichter and Beaven filed a redacted Verified Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Complaint and an unredacted version thereof under seal. On April 22, 2022, Plaintiffs Lichter and Beaven sent Defendants a detailed settlement demand. On August 8, 2022, Plaintiffs Lichter and Beaven agreed to maintain the stay that had been ordered on August 31, 2020, and Defendants agreed to produce confidential documents, including but not limited to certain documents produced in the Federal Class Action, including correspondence with the Individual Defendants and Board and Audit Committee presentations and related documents, as well as transcripts and exhibits from the depositions of Tzuo, Tyler Sloat and Jagan Reddy in the Federal Class Action. On November 16, 2022, Plaintiffs Lichter and Beaven filed a notice with the Court that the stay of proceedings ended. On December 16, 2022, the Court held a status conference and set February 27, 2023 as the deadline for Defendants to file a motion to dismiss. On February 16, 2023, Defendants’ Counsel filed a letter to the Court on behalf of the parties stating that the parties reached an agreement to settle the litigation, subject to approval of the Court. The letter stated that the parties will file a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement or provide an update on the status of the settlement documentation by March 24, 2023. The letter requested that the Court adjourn the deadline for Defendants to move to dismiss sine die. The next Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 6 of 71

On March 23, Defendants’ counsel filed a letter with the Court on behalf of the parties stating that the parties were continuing to finalize the stipulation and agreement of settlement, along with exhibits to be attached thereto, and that the parties will file a motion for preliminary approval or provide a further update on the status of the settlement documentation by April 28, 2023. 2. The Federal Delaware Action On May 28, 2020, plaintiff Ahmed filed a complaint on behalf of Zuora in the Delaware Federal Court against the Individual Defendants seeking contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act and asserting claims for violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets (the “Ahmed Action”). On June 3, 2020, plaintiff Schuster filed a substantially similar complaint on behalf of Zuora in the Delaware Federal Court against the Individual Defendants asserting the same claims as in the Ahmed Action (the “Schuster Action”). On June 29, 2020, the parties to the Ahmed Action and the Schuster Action stipulated to consolidate the two actions and appoint co-lead counsel (thus forming the Federal Delaware Action). The Delaware Federal Court entered an order pursuant to this stipulation on June 30, 2020. On August 21, 2020, the parties to the Federal Delaware Action stipulated to stay the Federal Delaware Action until the completion of fact discovery in the Federal Class Action. The Delaware Federal Court entered an order pursuant to this stipulation on August 24, 2020. 3. The State Delaware Action Plaintiff Thompson sent an inspection demand to Zuora pursuant to Section 220 on May 13, 2020. Following extensive negotiations over Plaintiff Thompson's right to inspect requested documents and the scope of documents to be produced, and the negotiation and execution of a confidentiality agreement, Zuora produced more than 2,200 pages of non-public, Board-level corporate books and records between October 2020 and January 2021. Then, on February 19, 2021, plaintiff Thompson filed a complaint in the Chancery Court against the Individual Defendants Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 7 of 71

Plaintiff Harney issued an inspection demand to Zuora pursuant to Section 220 on October 13, 2020. Following extensive negotiations over the scope of documents to be produced and the execution of a confidentiality agreement, Zuora produced more than 2,200 pages of non-public, Board-level corporate books and records. Then, on February 24, 2021, plaintiff Harney filed a substantially similar complaint in the Chancery Court against the Individual Defendants asserting three claims for breach of fiduciary duties, another claim for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and claims for unjust enrichment and waste of corporate assets (the “Harney Action”), which incorporated allegations based on materials from the books and records production. On March 22, 2021, the parties to the Thompson Action and the Harney Action stipulated to consolidate the two actions and appoint co-lead counsel (thus forming the State Delaware Action). The Chancery Court so-ordered this stipulation on March 23, 2021. On May 17, 2021, plaintiffs in the State Delaware Action filed a redacted, consolidated complaint; a public version was filed on May 20, 2021. The consolidated complaint incorporated allegations based on materials from the books and records productions. On June 25, 2021, the parties in the State Delaware Action stipulated to stay the State Delaware Action until the completion of fact discovery in the Federal Class Action. The Chancery Court entered an order pursuant to this stipulation on June 29, 2021. 4. The Demand Made Action On November 12, 2021, plaintiff Sbarra (formally plaintiff DeRycke) sent a formal pre-suit litigation demand under Delaware law (the “Litigation Demand”) to Zuora’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), wherein she demanded that the Board: (i) undertake (or cause to be undertaken) an independent internal investigation into the Individual Defendants’ alleged violations of Delaware and federal law; and (ii) commence a civil action against Individual Defendants (and any other individuals who may be similarly liable for breach of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, insider trading, and/or violations of federal securities laws) to recover for the benefit of Zuora the amount of damages sustained by the Company Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 8 of 71

On May 6, 2022, plaintiff Sbarra served a detailed settlement demand on counsel for the Board. On May 10, 2022, plaintiff Sbarra filed a complaint in the Northern District of California alleging that the Litigation Demand was wrongfully refused by the Individual Defendants and asserting claims on Zuora’s behalf against the Individual Defendants for violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duties (the alleged wrongful refusal of the Litigation Demand, disclosure and oversight violations), unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and insider selling (the “Demand Made Action”). On May 31, 2022, following consideration of plaintiff Sbarra’s Administrative Motion to Consider whether Cases Should be Related, the Demand Made Action was deemed related to (but not consolidated with) the California Consolidated Action and reassigned to the Hon. Susan Illston. On June 22, 2022, the parties in the Demand Made Action stipulated to stay that action until September 9, 2022—60 days from Defendants’ deadline to answer or otherwise respond to the operative complaint in the Demand Made Action, or the date any further stay of the Demand Made Action expires, whichever occurred sooner. As part of this deferral, the Parties agreed to meet and confer “to identify which documents, responses to interrogatories, requests for admission and/or deposition testimony from the Securities Action shall be produced to Plaintiff.” The Court so- ordered this stipulation on June 23, 2022. On August 1, 2022, the Court entered a stipulated protective order and Zuora began producing the agreed upon documents and discovery shortly thereafter. After Plaintiff Sbarra’s counsel completed a review of the documents and discovery Zuora produced, on September 27, 2022, the parties to the Demand Made Action agreed to schedule a private mediation to attempt to resolve the Demand Made Action, along with the other Litigation actions. On October 7, 2022, the parties in the Demand Made Action stipulated to continue the stay of the Demand Made Action to pursue possible settlement through private mediation, scheduled for December 9, 2022. The Court entered an order pursuant to this stipulation on October 11, 2022. Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 9 of 71

Additional Section 220 Books & Records Demand Kernan issued an inspection demand to Zuora pursuant to Section 220 on June 1, 2020, based on substantially similar allegations to those in the Litigation. After negotiating and executing a confidentiality agreement with the Company, on October 22, 2020, Kernan obtained a production of non-public, Board-level corporate books and records from Zuora. C. Settlement Negotiations Pursuant to the terms of the various deferral agreements entered into by the Settling Parties, Defendants produced over 37,000 pages of confidential documents, including deposition transcripts, to Plaintiffs. The documents included: (1) all documents that were (a) produced to the plaintiff in the Federal Class Action, and (b) that are identified in the metadata for the documents as having been sent to/from/cc/bcc or identified as being collected from the custodial files of any of the Individual Defendants; (2) all Board and Audit Committee presentations and related documents that were produced to the plaintiff in the Federal Class Action; (3) copies of all insurance agreements under which an insurance business may be liable to satisfy all or part of a possible judgment in the action or to indemnify or reimburse for payments made to satisfy the judgment; and (4) transcripts and exhibits from the depositions of Tien Tzuo, Tyler Sloat and Jagan Reddy taken in the Federal Class Action (which Defendants agreed to produce after meeting and conferring with Plaintiffs). Defendants made rolling productions to Plaintiffs from the fall of 2021 through the fall of 2022. On December 9, 2022, the Parties attended a full day mediation (the “Mediation”) with Robert A. Meyer, Esq. of JAMS Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (the “Mediator”), who is experienced in mediating shareholder litigation matters. In advance of the Mediation, Plaintiffs submitted a detailed settlement demand to Defendants. While the December 9, 2022, Mediation ended without a settlement, the Parties nonetheless made meaningful progress and continued their settlement negotiations after the Mediation, with the Mediator’s assistance. Detailed written proposals and counter-proposals were exchanged and debated in numerous communications. Ultimately, on December 12, 2022, the Parties reached an agreement in principle on the corporate governance measures that will be adopted by Zuora as consideration for a global resolution of the Litigation.

The fee negotiations were facilitated and supervised by the Mediator, who was familiar with the complexity of the issues, risks, and challenges confronted by Plaintiffs, as well as the Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s efforts in securing the Settlement benefits. Following a number of exchanges through the Mediator, on February 3, 2023, Plaintiffs’ Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel accepted the Mediator’s proposal, agreeing to the Fee and Expense Amount (as defined in Section 4.1 below) of $2 million, subject to Court approval. Thereafter, the Settling Parties negotiated and finalized the formal operative terms of the Settlement as set forth in this Stipulation (“Settlement”). II. PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSEL’S INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH, PLAINTIFFS’ CLAIMS, AND THE BENEFIT OF SETTLEMENT Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel believe that the claims asserted in the Litigation have merit and that their investigation supports the claims asserted. Without conceding the merit of any of Defendants’ defenses or the lack of merit of any of their own allegations, and in light of the benefits of the Settlement as well as to avoid the potentially protracted time, expense, and uncertainty associated with continued litigation, including potential trials and appeals, Plaintiffs have concluded that it is desirable that the Litigation be fully and finally settled in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Stipulation. Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel recognize the significant risk, expense, and length of continued proceedings necessary to prosecute the Litigation against the Individual Defendants through trials and possible appeals. Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel also have taken into account the uncertain outcome and the risk of any litigation, especially complex litigation such as the Litigation, as well as the difficulties and delays inherent in such litigation. Based upon their thorough investigation and evaluation of the relevant evidence, substantive law, procedural rules, and their assessment of the interests of Zuora and Current Zuora Shareholders, Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ Counsel have determined that the Settlement’s guarantee of Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 11 of 71

Plaintiffs’ Counsel attest that they conducted an investigation relating to the claims and the underlying events alleged in the Litigation, including, but not limited to: (i) negotiating for and reviewing thousands of pages of non-public, Board-level corporate books and records obtained pursuant to Section 220 inspection demands; (ii) reviewing and analyzing Zuora’s public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), press releases, announcements, transcripts of investor conference calls, and news articles; (iii) reviewing and analyzing the investigations in publicly-available pleadings against Zuora related to the allegations in the Litigation; (iv) reviewing and analyzing the allegations contained in the related Securities Class Actions; (v) researching, drafting, and filing shareholder derivative complaints; (vi) reviewing the 37,401 pages of internal corporate documents and transcripts and exhibits of depositions taken in the Federal Class Action that were produced to Plaintiffs by Zuora in connection with the Litigation; (vii) researching the applicable law with respect to the claims asserted (or which could be asserted) in the Litigation and the potential defenses thereto; (viii) researching corporate governance issues; (ix) preparing detailed settlement demands on behalf of various Plaintiffs and a mediation statement in connection with the Mediation; (x) participating in a full-day Mediation; (xi) engaging in extensive pre- and post-mediation settlement discussions with the Mediator and counsel for the Defendants; and (xii) negotiating and drafting the settlement documentation for presentment to the Court. Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s views are further informed by their experience and thorough analysis of the facts and law governing the applicable derivative standing and pleading requirements, substantive claims and defenses, and damages and disgorgement remedies. Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s assessment of the facts and legal issues material to their recommendation in favor of the Settlement was honed and refined in the course of drafting pleadings, in connection with preparing and Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 12 of 71

Accordingly, Plaintiffs have agreed to settle the Litigation upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. III. DEFENDANTS’ DENIALS OF WRONGDOING AND LIABILITY The Individual Defendants have denied, and continue to deny, each and every claim and contention alleged by Plaintiffs in the Litigation and deny any and all allegations of fault, wrongdoing, liability, or damages whatsoever. The Individual Defendants affirm that at all relevant times they acted properly, lawfully, in good faith, in full accord with their fiduciary duties, and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of Zuora and its stockholders. Further, the Individual Defendants have denied expressly, and continue to deny expressly, all allegations of wrongdoing, fault, liability, or damage against them arising out of any of the conduct, statements, acts, or omissions alleged, or that could have been alleged, in the Litigation. The Individual Defendants deny that they have ever committed or attempted to commit any violations of law, any breach of fiduciary duty owed to Zuora or its shareholders, or any wrongdoing whatsoever. The Individual Defendants maintain that they had and have meritorious defenses to all claims alleged in the Litigation. Without admitting the validity of any of the claims that Plaintiffs have asserted in the Litigation, or any liability with respect thereto, the Individual Defendants have concluded that it is desirable that the claims be settled on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The Individual Defendants are entering into this Settlement because (among other reasons) it will eliminate the uncertainty, distraction, disruption, burden, and expense of further litigation of the Litigation. Neither this Stipulation, nor any of its terms or provisions, nor any act performed or document executed pursuant to or in furtherance of the Settlement: (a) is, may be construed as, or may be used as, an admission of, or evidence of, the truth or validity of any of the Released Claims, any claims or allegations made in the Litigation, or any purported acts or omissions by the Defendants; (b) is, may be construed as, or may be used as, an admission of, or evidence of, any fault, omission, negligence, or wrongdoing by the Defendants, or any concession of liability Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 13 of 71

The foregoing release shall include a release of Unknown Claims. 4.3 Notwithstanding § V, ¶¶ 4.1 through 4.2 above, nothing in the Stipulation or the Judgment shall provide a release of any claims to enforce this Stipulation, the Settlement, or the Judgment or bar any action by any Settling Party to enforce the terms of the Stipulation, the Settlement, or the Judgment.

Separately Negotiated Fee and Expense Amount and Service Awards 5.1 After reaching agreement in principle on the substantive consideration for the Settlement, the Parties commenced good faith, arm's-length negotiations concerning a fair and reasonable amount of attorneys' fees and expenses to be paid to Plaintiffs' Counsel, overseen and assisted by the Mediator. Pursuant to a formal mediator’s proposal issued by the Mediator and accepted by all parties, and in recognition of the substantial benefits provided to Zuora and Current Zuora Shareholders as a result of the Settlement, Defendants’ D&O insurers have agreed to pay to Plaintiffs’ Counsel an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in the total amount of two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “Fee and Expense Amount”), subject to approval by the Court. The Settling Parties mutually agree that the Fee and Expense Amount is fair and reasonable in light of the substantial benefits conferred upon Zuora and Current Zuora Shareholders by the Settlement. 5.2 The Fee and Expense Amount shall be transferred to a trust account (the “Trust Account”) held by The Brown Law Firm, P.C.

Brown Law shall be solely responsible for any administrative costs associated with the Trust Account as well as the filing of all informational and other tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, or any other state or local taxing authority, as may be necessary or appropriate. 5.3 The Fee and Expense Amount shall remain in the Trust Account until the entry of the Judgment by the Court finally approving the Settlement, at which time the Fee and Expense Amount shall be immediately releasable to Plaintiffs’ Counsel. Should the Court order the payment of attorneys’ fees and expenses in an amount less than the agreed Fee and Expense Amount, then only the Court-approved amount, plus interest earned thereon, shall be released to Plaintiffs’ Counsel from the Trust Account, and all remaining amounts shall be returned to Zuora within fifteen (15) calendar days of the entry of the Judgment. 5.4 Payment of the Fee and Expense Amount shall constitute final and complete payment for all of Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with the Litigation. Plaintiffs’ Counsel shall allocate the Fee and Expense Amount among themselves. Plaintiffs’ Counsel agree that any disputes regarding the allocation of the Fee and Expense Amount among them shall be presented to and be mediated by the Mediator, and if mediation is unsuccessful, decided on a final, binding, non-appealable basis by the Mediator, on the terms and subject to the processes and procedures set forth by the Mediator in his sole discretion. The Mediator’s fees and costs for any such mediation and/or arbitration shall be borne solely by Plaintiffs’ Counsel and split evenly among Plaintiffs’ Counsel. Defendants and Defendants’ Counsel shall have no responsibility for the allocation or distribution of the Fee and Expense Amount amongst Plaintiffs’ Counsel. Defendants shall have no obligation to make any payment to Plaintiffs’ Counsel other than the payment to the Trust Account by Zuora’s insurers as provided in § V, ¶¶ 5.1-5.2 herein. 5.5 If for any reason, any condition in § V, ¶ 6.1 is not met, if the Stipulation does not become effective or is in any way canceled or terminated, or if the Judgment does not become Final (individually or collectively, a “Triggering Event”), each of Plaintiffs’ Counsel (and each of their successors) shall be obligated to repay to Zuora, within fifteen (15) calendar days of the Triggering Event, the amount of the Fee and Expense Amount, or part thereof, that they received respectively.

II. SUMMARY OF THE ACTION A. Description of the Derivative Actions and Settlement Zuora, a Delaware corporation headquartered in Redwood City, California, is a software company that designs and sells service applications for companies. The Company is a cloud-based subscription platform that provides software to enable companies across multiple industries and geographies to launch, manage, or transform to a subscription-based model. Zuora Billing (“Billing”) is a software that helps Zuora’s customers bill their subscribers. Zuora RevPro (“RevPro”) is a software that helps Zuora’s customers properly recognize revenue. In the Litigation, Plaintiffs allege, as reflected in the shareholder derivative complaints, that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Zuora and its stockholders by making or causing Zuora to make false and misleading public statements that represented that data generated by Billing was easily integrated into RevPro, thereby streamlining a customer’s bookkeeping. Plaintiffs further allege that, in truth, customers needed to either manually export billing data from Billing and then manually input it into RevPro, or create their own integration software, which was expensive and time-consuming, and thus a key purported benefit of the Company’s software was not as advertised. Plaintiffs allege in the Litigation that the Individual Defendants failed to disclose material issues with the Company’s primary products, and, as a result, the price of the Company’s securities during and after the initial public offering of its common stock was artificially inflated. Plaintiffs further allege that the Individual Defendants were unjustly enriched and that certain of the Individual Defendants sold their personally held shares of Zuora stock at artificially inflated prices while in possession of material nonpublic information. On May 30, 2019, Zuora issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended April 30, 2019. The Company also announced that it was reducing its guidance for the upcoming quarter and fiscal year 2020, and revealed that Defendant Diouane would be stepping down as President and Head of Sales. Among other damages to Zuora, the Litigation alleges that the Individual Defendants’ misconduct exposed Zuora to liability in the consolidated securities class Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 52 of 71

Zuora, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-03422-SI (the “Federal Class Action”) and the consolidated securities class action pending in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, captioned Olson v. Tzuo, Case No. 20-CIV-01918 (the “State Class Action,” together with the Federal Class Action, the “Securities Class Actions”). B. The Settlement Negotiations On December 9, 2022, Defendants and Plaintiffs participated in a formal mediation addressing the Litigation. The mediation was supervised by a mediator who is a nationally recognized neutral with extensive experience litigating and mediating complex stockholder derivative and class actions. While the December 9, 2022, mediation ended without a settlement, Defendants and Plaintiffs nonetheless made meaningful progress and continued their settlement negotiations after the mediation with the mediator’s assistance. Detailed written proposals and counter-proposals were exchanged and debated in numerous communications. Ultimately, on December 12, 2022, Defendants and Plaintiffs reached an agreement-in-principle on corporate governance measures that will be adopted by Zuora as consideration for a global resolution of the Litigation. After Defendants and Plaintiffs reached an agreement-in-principle on the material substantive terms to resolve the Litigation, Plaintiffs’ counsel and Defendants’ counsel commenced negotiations regarding an appropriate award of attorneys’ fees and expenses commensurate with the value of the Settlement benefit and the contributions of Plaintiffs’ counsel to the Settlement. The fee negotiations were facilitated and supervised by the mediator, who was familiar with the complexity of the issues, risks, and challenges confronted by Plaintiffs, as well as the Plaintiffs’ counsel’s efforts in securing the Settlement benefit. Following a number of exchanges through the mediator, Plaintiffs’ counsel and Defendants’ counsel accepted the mediator’s proposal, agreeing to the payment by Zuora’s insurers to Plaintiffs’ counsel for their attorneys’ fees of $2 million, subject to Court approval.

TERMS OF THE PROPOSED DERIVATIVE SETTLEMENT The proposed Settlement requires the Company to adopt certain corporate governance measures that are outlined in Exhibit A to the Stipulation (“Measures”). The Measures shall be maintained for a minimum period of four (4) years following the Effective Date of the Settlement, subject to certain terms set forth in the Stipulation. The Settling Parties agree that the litigation and settlement efforts in the Litigation were the precipitating, substantial and material factor in the Board’s agreement to adopt, implement, and maintain the Measuresfor the agreed term, and that the Measures confer substantial benefits to Zuora and its shareholders. This summary should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the text of the Stipulation, which has been filed with the Court. IV. PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSEL’S ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES After negotiating the principal terms of the Settlement, counsel for the Settling Parties, and the insurers, acting by and through their counsel, separately negotiated the attorneys’ fees and expenses with the assistance of the mediator. Zuora has agreed to cause its insurers to pay to Plaintiffs’ counsel an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in the total amount of $2 million (the “Fee and Expense Amount”), subject to approval by the Court. The Settling Parties mutually agree that the Fee and Expense Amount is fair and reasonable in light of the benefits conferred upon Zuora and the Current Zuora Shareholders by the Settlement. Additionally, Plaintiffs may apply to the Court for service awards in the amount of up to $2,000 for each of the seven Plaintiffs (“Service Awards”), to be paid out of such Fee and Expense Amount awarded by the Court. V. REASONS FOR THE SETTLEMENT Counsel for the Settling Parties believe that the Settlement is in the best interests of Zuora and its shareholders. A. Why Did Plaintiffs Agree to Settle? Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ counsel believe that the claims asserted in the Litigation have merit and that their investigations support the claims asserted. Without conceding the merit of any of Defendants’ defenses or the lack of merit of any of their own allegations, and in light of the benefits Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 54 of 71

Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ counsel recognize the significant risk, expense, and length of continued proceedings necessary to prosecute the Litigation against the Individual Defendants through trials and possible appeals. Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ counsel also have taken into account the uncertain outcome and the risk of any litigation, especially complex litigation such as the Litigation, as well as the difficulties and delays inherent in such litigation. Based upon their thorough investigation and evaluation of the relevant evidence, substantive law, procedural rules, and their assessment of the interests of Zuora and its shareholders, Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ counsel have determined that the Settlement’s guarantee of substantial benefits conferred upon Zuora and its shareholders in the form of the Measures is fair, reasonable and adequate consideration for forgoing the pursuit of a potentially superior recovery through further litigation, and serves the best interests of Zuora and its shareholders. Plaintiffs’ counsel attest that they conducted an investigation relating to the claims and the underlying events alleged in the Litigation, including, but not limited to: (i) negotiating for and reviewing thousands of pages of non-public, Board-level corporate books and records obtained pursuant to Section 220 inspection demands; (ii) reviewing and analyzing the Zuora’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases, announcements, transcripts of investor conference calls, and news articles; (iii) reviewing and analyzing the investigations in publicly-available pleadings against Zuora related to the allegations in the Litigation; (iv) reviewing and analyzing the allegations contained in the related securities class actions; (v) researching, drafting, and serving the shareholder demands; (vi) researching, drafting, and filing shareholder derivative complaints; (vii) reviewing over 37,000 pages documents of internal corporate documents and transcripts and exhibits from the depositions taken in the Federal Class Action produced to Plaintiffs by Zuora in connection with the Litigation; (viii) researching the applicable law with respect to the claims asserted (or which could be asserted) in the Litigation and the potential defenses thereto; (ix) researching corporate governance issues; (x) preparing detailed settlement Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 55 of 71

Plaintiffs’ counsel’s decision is further informed by their experience and thorough analysis of the facts and law governing the applicable derivative standing and pleading requirements, substantive claims and defenses, and damages and disgorgement remedies. Plaintiffs’ counsel’s assessment of the facts and legal issues material to their recommendation in favor of the Settlement was honed and refined in the course of drafting amended pleadings, in connection with preparing and submitting mediation submissions, and during the many months of substantive written and verbal exchanges with Defendants’ counsel and the mediator. B. Why Did the Defendants Agree to Settle? The Individual Defendants have denied, and continue to deny, each and every claim and contention alleged by Plaintiffs in the Litigation and deny any and all allegations of fault, wrongdoing, liability, or damages whatsoever. The Individual Defendants affirm that at all relevant times they acted properly, lawfully, in good faith, in full accord with their fiduciary duties, and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of Zuora and its stockholders. Further, the Individual Defendants have denied expressly, and continue to deny expressly, all allegations of wrongdoing, fault, liability, or damage against them arising out of any of the conduct, statements, acts, or omissions alleged, or that could have been alleged, in the Litigation. The Individual Defendants deny that they have ever committed or attempted to commit any violations of law, any breach of fiduciary duty owed to Zuora or its shareholders, or any wrongdoing whatsoever. The Individual Defendants maintain that they had and have meritorious defenses to all claims alleged in the Litigation. Without admitting the validity of any of the claims that Plaintiffs have asserted in the Litigation, or any liability with respect thereto, the Individual Defendants have concluded that it is desirable that the claims be settled on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The Individual Defendants are entering into this Settlement because (among other reasons) it will eliminate the uncertainty, distraction, disruption, burden, and expense of further litigation of the Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 56 of 71

(“ZUORA” OR THE “COMPANY”) COMMON STOCK AS OF MAY 9, 2023 (“CURRENT ZUORA SHAREHOLDERS”) YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, pursuant to the ___________, 2023 Preliminary Approval Order entered in the above-captioned shareholder derivative action, that a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated May 9, 2023 (the “Stipulation” or “Settlement”)1 has been entered to resolve all shareholder derivative claims pending on behalf of nominal defendant Zuora pending in several related shareholder derivative actions in state and federal courts (the “Litigation”). In the Litigation, Plaintiffs allege, as reflected in the shareholder derivative complaints, that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Zuora by making or causing Zuora to make false and misleading statement that represented that data generated by Zuora Billing was easily integrated into Zuora RevPro, thereby streamlining a customer’s bookkeeping. Plaintiffs further allege that, in truth, customers needed to either manually export billing data from Zuora Billing and then manually input it into Zuora RevPro, or create their own integration software, which was expensive and time-consuming, and thus a key benefit of the Company’s software was not as advertised. Plaintiffs allege in the Litigation that the Individual Defendants failed to disclose material issues with the Company’s primary products, and, as a result, the price of the Company’s securities during and after the initial public offering of its common stock was artificially inflated. The Individual Defendants have denied, and continue to deny, each and every claim and contention alleged by Plaintiffs in the Litigation and deny any and all allegations of fault, wrongdoing, liability, or damages whatsoever. In connection with, and conditioned upon, the Settlement, Zuora has agreed to implement and/or maintain corporate governance measures, as defined and set forth in the Stipulation. The 1Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Stipulation. Case 3:19-cv-05701-SI Document 84-1 Filed 05/26/23 Page 63 of 71

The Court may: (i) approve the Settlement, with such modifications as may be agreed to by counsel for the Settling Parties consistent with such Settlement, without further notice to Current Zuora Shareholders; (ii) continue or adjourn the Settlement Hearing from time to time, by oral announcement at the hearing or at any adjournment thereof, without further notice to Current Zuora Shareholders; and (iii) conduct the Settlement Hearing remotely without further notice to Current Zuora Shareholders.
