Class II director; elected November 9, 2025 when the board increased its size from eleven to twelve to fill a newly created directorship; term holds until the 2028 Annual Meeting. Independent non-employee director per the Item 5.02 8-K filed November 13, 2025. Compensation: a $350,000 grant-date-fair-value option award under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, vesting 12.5% quarterly over two years; no cash compensation. The 8-K does not include a biographical summary; per contemporaneous reporting Mr. Clayville's most recent operating roles were senior enterprise-sales leadership positions at AWS and Stripe.

Disclosed in the Item 5.02 8-K filed September 5, 2025. The transition was the first CEO change in the company's 16-year history. Siebel did not retire — he continues as Executive Chairman and remains a Section 16 reporting officer; the change was structurally an ownership-and-governance continuity move, not a clean exit. The September-2025-to-April-2026 sequence (CEO transition → February-2026 26%-workforce restructuring → April-2026 C3 Code launch) is best read as one integrated leadership-driven repositioning.
