Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The tidal wave of mobility that changed our personal lives is now changing our work lives. Companies of every size and every vertical market are using mobile technology. Enterprise data is now mobile and that data needs to be secured. This presents an enormous challenge for companies and an enormous opportunity for MobileIron and our shareholders.
In our first year as a public company, MobileIron earned $132.3 million in revenue, a 25% increase year-over-year, and $145.7 million in billings, a 45% increase over 2013. On the customer front, we won customers around the world, and helped many more of our existing customers expand their mobile footprint. We delivered industry-leading innovations and were granted 12 patents. Im proud of our business results and our ability to deliver value to our global customers.
Our year was not without its challenges. We saw a change in customer buying patterns as an increasing number of customers chose to buy subscription and monthly recurring charge (MRC) licenses over perpetual licenses. This mix-shift makes it harder for us to forecast and harder for analysts to model. In the short-term, this means less predictability but, in the long term, we believe the increase in subscription and MRC licenses is great for our business because subscription and MRC customers tend to renew their contracts.
Our customers tell me that mobility is one of the hardest things enterprise IT has had to address in 15 years. I agree.
· Mobile is fast and complex. We support constantly evolving operating systems.
· Mobile is becoming mission critical. Mobile integrates with dozens of enterprise systems and we have a growing ecosystem of more than 100 third-party AppConnect and Technology Alliance partners.
· Mobile requires innovation. Delivering mobile enterprise security at scale is challenging. We built our own proprietary testing framework to be able to test across multiple operating systems and other enterprise technologies.
· Mobile requires choice. Our customers want be able to choose the apps, clouds, operating systems, and devices they want now and in the future. Unlike some other companies, we are neutral and have no conflict of interest.
We have always believed that mobile is the future of enterprise computing, and in 2014 this became evident. Android, iOS, OS X, Windows 8.1, and soon Windows 10, have a completely different architecture from legacy Windows. As these next generation laptops are deployed, every end-point will start to look like mobile, and traditional enterprise technologies, like virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) may no longer be needed. The new security model revolves around identity and access control, not lockdown. Enterprise services are provided based on trusting the user, the device, the app, the network, and the storage repository. The new mobile security model is the MobileIron model.
We had a year of achievements. We became a publicly traded company. We were positioned by Gartner in the Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Mobility Management Suites for the fourth consecutive year and were also positioned the furthest on the completeness of vision axis. Deloitte recognized us as the fastest growing technology company in the world for the five years ended 2013. Finally, MobileIron was named one of the Best Places to Work by Glassdoor. Our MobileIron team is our single biggest asset, and they come to work every day committed to making our customers successful.

PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE 2015 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
June 25, 2015
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING
Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials on the internet?
Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the internet. Accordingly, we have sent you a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice) because the Board of MobileIron, Inc.

All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice.
We will begin distributing the Notice on or about May 13, 2015 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting.
Will I receive any other proxy materials by mail?
We may send you a proxy card, along with the Notice, on or about May 13, 2015.

How do I attend the annual meeting?
The meeting will be held on Thursday June 25, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. local time at the University Club, 3277 Miranda Avenue, Palo Alto, California 94304.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If on April 27, 2015 your shares were registered directly in your name with MobileIron, Inc.s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record,
you may vote in person at the meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank
If on April 27, 2015 your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the annual meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.
What am I voting on?
There are two matters scheduled for a vote:
· Election of two directors nominated by the Board to serve until the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and
· Ratification of selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.
What if another matter is properly brought before the meeting?

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank
If your shares are held by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or bank.
When are stockholder proposals and director nominations due for next years annual meeting?
To be considered for inclusion in next years proxy materials, your proposal or director nomination must comply with the requirements in the Companys Bylaws and be submitted in writing not later than March 27, 2016 and not earlier than February 26, 2016, to MobileIrons Secretary at 415 East Middlefield Road, Mountain View, CA 94043, and must comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided, however, that if our 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held before May 26, 2016 or after July 25, 2016, then the proposal must be received not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. You are also advised to review our bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.
How are votes counted?
Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count, for the proposal to elect directors, votes For, Withhold and broker non-votes; and, with respect to other proposals, votes For, Against, abstentions and, if applicable, broker non-votes. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee, such as a broker or bank, holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions with respect to that proposal from the beneficial owner. In the event that a broker, bank, custodian, nominee or other record holder of our common stock indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to that proposal. In this regard, the election of directors (Proposal No. 1) is a matter considered non-routine under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore MobileIron expects broker non-votes on Proposal No. 1. Thus, if you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to Proposal No. 1, your broker may not vote with respect to that proposal. Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your vote is counted on all of the proposals.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting, however, broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote with respect to a particular proposal. Thus, a broker non-vote will not affect the outcome of the vote on Proposal No. 1.
What are broker non-votes?
As discussed above, when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed to be non-routine, the broker or nominee cannot vote the shares. These unvoted shares are counted as broker non-votes.
How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?
For the election of directors, the two nominees receiving the most For votes from the holders of shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors will be elected. Only votes For or Withheld will affect the outcome.
To be approved, Proposal No. 2, ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, must receive For votes from the holders of a majority of shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. If you Abstain from voting, it will have the same effect as an Against vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect.
What is the quorum requirement?
A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are present at the meeting in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were 78,095,407 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, the holders of 39,047,704 shares must be present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting to have a quorum.
Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the meetings chairperson or holders of a majority of shares represented at the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another date.
How can I find out the results of the voting at the annual meeting?
Preliminary voting results will be announced at the annual meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K that we expect to file within four business days after the annual meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
INDEPENDENCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
As required under the NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ) listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed companys Board of Directors must qualify as independent, as affirmatively determined by the Board of Directors. The Board consults with the Companys counsel to ensure that the Boards determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of independent, including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of NASDAQ, as in effect from time to time.
Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant identified transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, its senior management and its independent auditors, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following six directors are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ listing standards: Mr. Howard, Mr. Garg, Mr. Nahm, Mr. Hilaly, Mr. Marshall, and Mr. Tolonen. In making this determination, the Board found that none of these directors or nominees for director had a material or other disqualifying relationship with the Company.
In making those independence determinations, the Board took into account certain relationships and transactions that occurred in the ordinary course of business between the Company and entities with which some of its directors are or have been affiliated, the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director. Mr. Tinker, our President and Chief Executive Officer is not an independent director by virtue of his current employment with MobileIron.
BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
The Board of Directors of the Company has an independent chair, Mr. Nahm, who has authority, among other things, to call and preside over Board meetings, including meetings of the independent directors, to set meeting agendas and to determine materials to be distributed to the Board. Accordingly, the Chairman of the Board has substantial ability to shape the work of the Board. The Company believes that separation of the positions of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer reinforces the independence of the Board in its oversight of the business and affairs of the Company. In addition, the Company believes that having an independent Chairman creates an environment that is more conducive to objective evaluation and oversight of managements performance, increasing management accountability and improving the ability of the Board to monitor whether managements actions are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. As a result, the Company believes that having an independent Chairman can enhance the effectiveness of the Board as a whole.
ROLE OF THE BOARD IN RISK OVERSIGHT
The Board of Directors recognizes the importance of effective risk oversight in running a successful business and in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities to MobileIron its stockholders. While the executive team is responsible for the day-to-day management of risk, one of the Boards key functions is informed oversight of the Companys risk management process. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various Board standing committees that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including a determination of the nature and level of risk appropriate for the Company. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in addition to oversight of the performance of our internal audit function. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines, including whether they are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. Typically, the applicable Board committees meet at least annually with the employees responsible for risk management in the committees respective areas of oversight. Both the Board as a whole and the various standing committees receive periodic reports from the General Counsel, as well as incidental reports as matters may arise. It is the responsibility of the committee chairs to report findings regarding material risk exposures to the Board as quickly as possible.
MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors met twelve times during the last fiscal year. Each Board member attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he served, held during the portion of the last fiscal year for which he was a director or committee member.
INFORMATION REGARDING COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

* Committee Chairperson
Below is a description of each committee of the Board of Directors.
Each of the committees has authority to engage legal counsel or other experts or consultants, as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of each committee meets the applicable NASDAQ rules and regulations regarding independence and each member is free of any relationship that would impair his individual exercise of independent judgment with regard to the Company.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors was established by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), to assist the Board in fulfilling the Boards oversight responsibilities with respect to (i) the Companys corporate accounting and financial reporting processes, systems of internal control over financial reporting and audits of financial statements, and systems of disclosure controls and procedures, as well as the quality and integrity of the Companys financial statements and reports, (ii) the qualifications, independence and performance of the registered public accounting firm or firms engaged as the Companys independent auditors for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing audit services, (iii) review of any reports or other disclosure required by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC to be included in the Companys annual proxy statement and periodic reports and (iv) the performance of the Companys internal audit function, if any. In order to accomplish these purposes, the Audit Committee performs several functions. The Audit Committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent auditor; determines and approves engagements of the independent auditor to perform all proposed audit, review and attest services, as well as non-audit services; monitors the rotation of the partners of the independent auditor on the Companys audit engagement team, as required under applicable law; reviews and discusses with management and the Companys independent auditors the Companys guidelines and policies with respect to financial risk management and financial risk assessment; confers with management and the Companys independent auditors regarding the scope, adequacy and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, including any significant deficiencies and significant changes in internal controls; establishes procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; considers and approves or disapproves any related party transactions; reviews with management and the independent auditor the Companys annual audited financial statements, quarterly financial statements and annual audit, as well as the Companys disclosures under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The Audit Committee is composed of three directors: Mr. Tolonen, Mr. Garg and Mr. Hilaly. The Audit Committee met seven times during the fiscal year. The Board has adopted a written Audit Committee charter that is available to stockholders on the Companys website at http://investors.mobileiron.com/ under Corporate Governance.
The Board of Directors reviews the NASDAQ listing standards definition of independence for Audit Committee members on an annual and has determined that all members of the Companys Audit Committee are super-independent (as super-independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(iii) of the NASDAQ listing standards).
The Board of Directors has also determined that Mr. Tolonen qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in applicable SEC rules. The Board made a qualitative assessment of Mr. Tolonens level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including his formal education and experience as a chief financial officer for public reporting companies. In addition to the Companys Audit Committee, Mr. Tolonen also serves on the board of directors of Imperva, Inc. The Board of Directors has determined that this simultaneous service does not impair Mr. Tolonens ability to effectively serve on the Companys Audit Committee.
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS(1)
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 with management of the Company. The Audit Committee has discussed with the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte & Touche required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountants communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Deloitte & Touche the accounting firms independence.
Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Mr. James Tolonen
Mr. Gaurav Garg
Mr. Aaref Hilaly
(1) The material in this report is not soliciting material, is not deemed filed with the SEC and is not to be incorporated by reference in any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or the Exchange Act, other than our Annual Report on Form 10-K, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is composed of three directors: Mr. Nahm, Mr. Howard and Mr. Marshall. All members of the Companys Compensation Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(d)(2) of the NASDAQ listing standards. In addition, the Board of Directors has also determined that each of members of the Companys Compensation Committee is a non-employee director as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and an outside director as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Compensation Committee met fifteen times during the fiscal year. The Board has adopted a written Compensation Committee charter that is available to stockholders on the Companys website at http://investors.mobileiron.com/ under Corporate Governance.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors acts on behalf of the Board in fulfilling the Boards oversight responsibilities with respect to the Companys compensation policies, plans and programs and determine the compensation to be paid to the Companys executive officers and directors. The Compensation Committee reviews, modifies and approves the overall compensation strategy and policies for the Company, including:
· reviewing and approving corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Companys executive officers and other senior management, as appropriate, which powers shall include the power to exercise discretion to adjust compensation based on such goals and objectives;
· evaluating and approving the compensation plans and programs advisable for the Company, as well as evaluating and approving the modification or termination of existing plans and programs;
· establishing policies with respect to equity compensation arrangements;
· reviewing and approving the terms of any employment agreements, severance arrangements, change-of-control protections and any other compensatory arrangements (including, without limitation, perquisites and any other form of compensation) for the Companys executive officers and, as appropriate, other senior management;
· approving any loans by the Company to employees; and
· reviewing the Companys practices and policies of employee compensation as they relate to risk management and risk-taking incentives, to determine whether such compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
In addition, once the Company ceases to be an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, the Compensation Committee will review with management the Companys Compensation Discussion and Analysis and consider whether to recommend that it be included in Proxy Statements and other filings.
Compensation Committee Processes and Procedures
Typically, the Compensation Committee meets quarterly and with greater frequency if necessary, as was the case last year when the Compensation Committee met more frequently during the preparation of the Companys initial public offering. The agenda for each meeting is usually developed by the Chair of the Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, the head of Human Resources and the General Counsel. The Compensation Committee meets regularly in executive session. However, from time to time, various members of management and other employees as well as outside advisors or consultants may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, to provide financial or other background information or advice or to otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. The Chief Executive Officer may not be present during voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee regarding his compensation. The charter of the Compensation Committee grants the Compensation Committee full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company. In addition, under the charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to obtain, at the expense of the Company, advice and assistance from compensation consultants and internal and external legal, accounting or other advisors and other external resources that the Compensation Committee considers necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties. The Compensation Committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of compensation consultants, independent legal counsel or any other advisers engaged for the purpose of advising the Committee. In particular, the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, in its sole discretion, compensation consultants to assist in its evaluation of executive and director compensation, including the authority to approve the consultants reasonable fees and other retention terms. Under the charter, the Compensation Committee may select, or receive advice from, a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to the compensation committee, other than in-house legal counsel and certain other types of advisers, only after taking into consideration six factors, prescribed by the SEC and NASDAQ, that bear upon the advisers independence; however, there is no requirement that any adviser be independent.
During the past fiscal year, after taking into consideration the six factors prescribed by the SEC and NASDAQ described above, the Compensation Committee engaged Compensia, Inc., or Compensia, as its compensation consultants. Compensia was selected because it is a well-known and respected national compensation consulting firm that commonly provides information, recommendations and other executive compensation advice to compensation committees and management.
The Compensation Committee requested that Compensia:
· evaluate the efficacy of the Companys existing compensation strategy and practices in supporting and reinforcing the Companys long-term strategic goals; and
· assist in refining the Companys compensation strategy and in developing and implementing an executive compensation program to execute that strategy.
As part of its engagement, Compensia was requested by the Compensation Committee to assist in developing an appropriate group of peer companies to help the Company determine the appropriate level of overall compensation for its directors and executive officers, as well as assess each separate element of compensation, with a goal of ensuring that the compensation the Company offers its our directors and executive officers is competitive and fair. At the request of the Compensation Committee, Compensia also conducted individual interviews with members of the Compensation Committee and management and other employees identified by the Committee to learn more about the Companys business operations and strategy, key performance metrics and strategic goals, as well as the labor markets in which the Company competes. Compensia ultimately developed recommendations that were presented to the Compensation Committee for its consideration. Following an active dialogue with Compensia, the Compensation Committee recommended that the Board of Directors approve the recommendations of Compensia.
Historically, the Compensation Committee has made most of the significant adjustments to annual compensation, determined bonus and equity awards and established new performance objectives at one or more meetings held during the first quarter of the year. However, the Compensation Committee also considers matters related to individual compensation, such as compensation for new executive hires, as well as high-level strategic issues, such as the efficacy of the Companys compensation strategy, potential modifications to that strategy and new trends, plans or approaches to compensation, at various meetings throughout the year. Generally, the Compensation Committees process comprises two related elements: the determination of compensation levels and the
establishment of performance objectives for the current year. For executives other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee solicits and considers evaluations and recommendations submitted to the Committee by the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee recommends to the independent members of the Board for determination and approval the compensation and other terms of employment of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and evaluates the Chief Executive Officers performance in light of relevant corporate performance gals and objectives. For all executives and directors as part of its deliberations, the Compensation Committee may review and consider, as appropriate, materials such as financial reports and projections, operational data, tax and accounting information, tally sheets that set forth the total compensation that may become payable to executives in various hypothetical scenarios, executive and director stock ownership information, Company stock performance data, analyses of historical executive compensation levels and current Company-wide compensation levels and recommendations of the Compensation Committees compensation consultant, including analyses of executive and director compensation paid at other companies identified by the consultant.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Companys corporate governance functions on behalf of the Board, making recommendations to the Board regarding corporate governance issues, identifying and evaluating candidates to serve as directors of the Company consistent with the criteria approved by the Board and review and evaluate the performance of the Board, serving as a focal point for communication between director candidates, non-committee directors and the Companys management, selecting or recommending to the Board for selection candidates to the Board, or, to the extent required below, to serve as nominees for director for the annual meeting of shareholders and making other recommendations to the Board regarding affairs relating to the directors of the Company.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of three directors: Mr. Marshall, Mr. Howard and Mr. Nahm. All members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ listing standards). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one time during the fiscal year. The Board has adopted a written Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter that is available to stockholders on the Companys website at http://investors.mobileiron.com/ under Corporate Governance.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including the ability to read and understand basic financial statements, and having the highest personal integrity and ethics. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also intends to consider such factors as possessing relevant expertise upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, having sufficient time to devote to the affairs of MobileIron, having demonstrated excellence in his or her field, having the ability to exercise sound business judgment and having the commitment to rigorously represent the long-term interests of our stockholders. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board, the operating requirements of the Company and the long-term interests of stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee typically considers age, skills, and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the current needs of the Board and the Company to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.
In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews these directors overall service to the Company during their terms, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any other relationships and transactions that might impair the directors independence. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee is independent for NASDAQ purposes, which determination is based upon applicable NASDAQ listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, including direct inquiry from the then appointed members of the Board of Directors, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider the candidates qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board by majority vote of those present at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates, including the minimum criteria set forth above, based on whether or not the candidate was recommended by a stockholder. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the power and authority to establish any policies, requirements, criteria and procedures, including policies and procedures to facilitate stockholder communications with the Board, to recommend to the Board appropriate action on any such proposal or recommendation and to make any disclosures required by applicable law in the course of exercising its authority. Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to become nominees for election to the Board may do so by delivering a written notice to MobileIrons Secretary at 415 East Middlefield Road, Mountain View, CA 94043 not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting. The written notice must be supplemented on a timely basis as set forth in the Companys bylaws.

Communications are distributed to the Board, or to any individual director as appropriate depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication.

In addition, material that is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly unsuitable will be excluded, with the provision that nay communication that is filtered out must be made available to any non-management director upon request. Every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES
The Board of Directors documented the governance practices followed by the Company by adopting Corporate Governance Guidelines to assure that the Board will have the necessary authority and practices in place to review and evaluate the Companys business operations as needed and to make decisions that are independent of the Companys management. The guidelines are also intended to align the interests of directors and management with those of the Companys stockholders. The Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth the practices the Board intends to follow with respect to board composition and selection, board meetings and involvement of senior management, Chief Executive Officer performance evaluation and succession planning, and board committees and compensation. The Corporate Governance Guidelines, as well as the charters for each committee of the Board, may be viewed on the Companys website at http://investors.mobileiron.com/ under Corporate Governance.
PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 and has further directed that management submit the selection of its independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the annual meeting. Deloitte & Touche LLP has audited the Companys financial statements since 2010. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Neither the Companys Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Audit Committee of the Board is submitting the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee of the Board will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the matter will be required to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

(1) Audit Fees consist of fees for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, including audited financial statements presented in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with our initial public offering, review of our quarterly financial statements presented in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and services that are normally provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.
(2) Tax Fees consist of international and domestic tax studies, consulting and planning.
All fees described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
In connection with the audit of the 2014 financial statements, the Company entered into an engagement agreement with Deloitte & Touche LLP that set forth the terms by which Deloitte & Touche LLP performed audit services for the Company. That agreement is subject to alternative dispute resolution procedures and an exclusion of punitive damages.
PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP. The policy generally pre-approves specified services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services. Pre-approval may also be given as part of the Audit Committees approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent auditor or on an individual, explicit, case-by-case basis before the independent auditor is engaged to provide each service. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to one or more of the Audit Committees members, but the decision must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
The Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of services other than audit services by Deloitte & Touche is compatible with maintaining the principal accountants independence.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table
Employment agreements
We have entered into agreements with each of our NEOs in connection with their employment with us. With the oversight and approval of our Board, each of these employment agreements was negotiated on our behalf by our Chief Executive Officer, Robert B. Tinker, with the exception of his own employment agreement. These agreements provided for at will employment and set forth the terms and conditions of employment of each Named Executive Officer, including base salary, eligibility to participate in the Companys bonus programs, if any when applicable, standard employee benefit plan participation, initial stock option grant and vesting provisions with respect to the initial stock option grant. These employment agreements were each subject to execution of our standard confidential information and invention assignment agreement and a background check. Each of these employment agreements also provided for certain potential payments and acceleration of equity upon termination or termination in connection with a change in control of the Company that were subsequently superseded by the Companys Severance Benefit Plan as described below, see the section titled Executive CompensationPotential Payments and Acceleration of Equity upon Termination or Termination in Connection with a Change in Control.
Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation
Non-equity incentive plan compensation consists of cash bonuses paid to our Named Executive Officers in 2015 and 2014, respectively, based on the achievement of performance goals during 2014 and 2013, as applicable. Whether a Named Executive Officer earns his target bonus, or any portion thereof, is determined by the Board, upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee of the Board, based upon its assessment of performance against the performance goals for the applicable calendar year. These cash bonuses were paid within the first half of the calendar year based on the prior years performance.
Potential Payments and Acceleration of Equity upon Termination or Termination in Connection with a Change in Control
Severance Benefit Plan
On April 28, 2015, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board adopted a Severance Benefit Plan (the Severance Plan), pursuant to which selected current and future employees, including our NEOs, will be eligible for severance benefits under certain circumstances. The Severance Plan supersedes any severance benefits that a participant would have been entitled to under any pre-existing agreement between the individual and the Company. Unless terminated sooner, the Severance Plan will automatically terminate on the third annual anniversary of its adoption.
The actual amounts that would be paid or distributed to an eligible NEO as a result of a termination of employment occurring in the future may be different than those presented below as many factors will affect the amount of any payments and benefits upon a termination of employment. For example, some of the factors that could affect the amounts payable include the NEOs base salary and the market price of our common stock. Although the Company has entered into a written agreement to provide severance payments and benefits in connection with a termination of employment under particular circumstances, the Company, or an acquirer, may mutually agree with the NEOs to provide payments and benefits on terms that vary from those currently contemplated. In addition to the amounts presented below, each NEO would also be able to exercise any previously-vested stock options that he or she held, in accordance with the terms of those grants and the respective plans pursuant to which they were granted. Finally, the NEOs are eligible to receive any benefits accrued under our broad-based benefit plans, such as accrued vacation pay, in accordance with those plans and policies.
To receive any of the severance benefits under these agreements, the NEO would be required to execute a release of claims against the Company within forty-five (45) days of the qualifying termination and comply with confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.
Severance Absent a Change in Control

401(k) Plan
We maintain a tax-qualified retirement plan that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax advantaged basis. Eligible employees are able to defer eligible compensation subject to applicable annual Code limits. Currently, we do not make matching contributions or discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan. Employees pre-tax contributions are allocated to each participants individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to the participants directions. Employees are immediately and fully vested in their contributions. The 401(k) plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code with the 401(k) plans related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan.

Director Compensation

On the date of each annual meeting of stockholders, each current non-employee director will be granted an option to purchase shares of common stock having a grant date fair value equal to $125,000 computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, which we refer to as the Annual Grant. All of the shares underlying an Annual Grant will vest upon the earlier of (i) the next years annual meeting of stockholders or (ii) one year from grant, subject to continued service on the vesting date. In the event of a change in control, any unvested portion of the shares underlying an Annual Grant will fully vest and become exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such change in control.
Equity Compensation for Future Directors
Newly-elected directors will be granted an option to purchase 46,428 shares of common stock, which we refer to as the Initial Grant. The shares underlying the Initial Grant will vest in a series of three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued service on each vesting date. In the event of a change in control, any unvested portion of the shares underlying an Initial Grant will fully vest and become exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the change in control. Each director elected will be granted Annual Grants commencing on the date of the third annual meeting following the directors election.
Cash Compensation
Each non-employee director will receive an annual fee of $25,000 in cash for serving on our Board of Directors. The chairman and other members of the three standing committees of our Board of Directors will be entitled to the following additional annual cash fees:

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS & SEC COMPLIANCE POLICY
In 2014, the Company adopted a written Related-Person Transactions Policy that sets forth the Companys policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of related person transactions by the Audit Committee of the Board. For purposes of the Companys policy only, a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company and any related person are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to the Company as an employee, director or consultant is not considered a Related-Person Transaction by this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, director nominee or more than 5% stockholder of the Company, including any of their immediate family members, and any entity owned or controlled by such persons. All future transactions between us and our officers, directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates will be approved by the Audit Committee, or a similar committee consisting of entirely independent directors, according to the terms of our Related-Person Transaction Policy.
CERTAIN RELATED-PERSON TRANSACTIONS
Other than compensation arrangements, since January 1, 2013 there are no transactions to which the Companys directors or NEOs were a party or will be a party, in which:
· |
the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Companys total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years; and |
|
|
· |
any of our directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. |
Compensation arrangements for our directors and NEOs are described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.
Investor Rights Agreement
We are party to an investor rights agreement that provides holders of our common stock issued upon conversion of convertible preferred stock, including certain holders of 5% of our capital stock and entities affiliated with certain of our directors, with certain registration rights, including the right to demand that we file a registration statement or request that their shares be covered by a registration statement that we are otherwise filing.
Voting agreement
Prior to our initial public offering, or IPO, we were party to a voting agreement under which certain holders of our capital stock, including certain holders of 5% of our capital stock and entities affiliated with certain of our directors, have agreed to vote in a certain way on certain matters, including with respect to the election of directors. The voting agreement terminated upon our IPO and none of our stockholders have any special rights regarding the election or designation of members of our Board of Directors.
Right of first refusal and co-sale agreement
Prior to our IPO, we were party to a right of first refusal and co-sale agreement with holders of our convertible preferred stock and our founders, including certain holders of 5% of our capital stock and entities affiliated with certain of our directors, pursuant to which the holders of convertible preferred stock have a right of first refusal and co-sale in respect of certain sales of securities by our founders. The right of first refusal and co-sale agreement terminated upon our IPO.
Indemnification Agreements
The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with certain officers and directors which provide, among other things, that the Company will indemnify such officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, officer or other agent of the Company, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and the Companys Bylaws.
Change in Control Arrangements
We have entered into severance arrangements with each of our executive officers under a Severance Benefit Plan. For more information regarding these agreements, see the section titled Executive CompensationPotential Payments and Acceleration of Equity upon Termination or Termination in Connection with a Change in Control.
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other Annual Meeting materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other Annual Meeting materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as householding, potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.
This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are MobileIron, Inc. stockholders will be householding the Companys proxy materials. A single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, please notify your broker or MobileIron, Inc. Direct your written request to Investor Relations, MobileIron, Inc., 415 East Middlefield Road, Mountain View, CA 94043 or contact Sam Wilson, Investor Relations at (650) 282-7619. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials at their addresses and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their brokers.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
