I.THE DERIVATIVE MATTERS

A.Procedural History of the Derivative Matters

1.The California Federal Action

On November 28, 2022, O’Dell filed the first action comprising the California Federal Action derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants alleging claims for violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and waste of corporate assets under Delaware law (the “O’Dell Action”).

On December 13, 2022, LR Trust filed the second action comprising the California Federal Action derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants alleging claims for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and for breach of

1 Capitalized words or terms used herein, unless otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section II.A.1 herein titled “Definitions.”


Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement			2			Case No. 3:22-cv-07480-SI

fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement under Delaware law (the “LR Trust Action”).

On February 22, 2023, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation consolidating the O’Dell Action and the LR Trust Action into the California Federal Action, appointing Rigrodsky Law, P.A. and Weiss Law as Co-Lead Counsel for plaintiffs, and providing for a stay of the California Federal Action pending resolution of a then-pending motion to dismiss in the related securities class action styled In re Okta, Inc., Securities Litigation, Case No. 3:22-cv-02990-SI (N.D. Ca.) (the “Securities Class Action”).

On March 31, 2023, the Court entered an order granting in part and denying in part the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action. Thereafter, on May 9, 2023, the Court granted the California Federal Action parties’ subsequent stipulation providing for a stay of the California Federal Action through the close of discovery in the Securities Class Action.

On March 12, 2024, after entering into a mutually negotiated confidentiality agreement, Defendants produced to plaintiffs in the California Federal Action copies of 1,174 pages of non-privileged, confidential, Company documents that Okta had compiled in response to a Section 220 books and records demand from certain of the Settling Stockholders. On May 21, 2024, Defendants produced to plaintiffs in the California Federal Action copies of additional non-privileged, confidential, Company documents (of more than 700 pages, for a total nearing 2,000 pages) that Okta had compiled in response to a Section 220 books and records demand from certain of the Settling Stockholders. Thereafter, plaintiffs in the California Federal Action began preparing an amended consolidated complaint, which was not filed because the Settling Parties entered into settlement discussions regarding the Derivative Matters.

2.The Delaware Federal Actions


Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement			3			Case No. 3:22-cv-07480-SI

On April 14, 2023, the Buono Action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“Delaware Federal Court”) derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants, alleging claims for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and for breach of fiduciary duty, and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty under Delaware law. On May 31, 2023, the Delaware Federal Court granted the parties’ stipulation providing for a stay of the Buono Action through the close of discovery in the Securities Class Action.

On January 25, 2024, the Nasr Action was filed in the Delaware Federal Court derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants, alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment under Delaware law. On March 18, 2024, the Delaware Federal Court granted the defendants’ unopposed motion to stay the Delaware Federal Actions through the close of discovery in the Securities Class Action.

On March 13, 2024, after entering into a mutually negotiated confidentiality agreement, Defendants produced to plaintiffs in the Delaware Federal Actions copies of the 1,174 pages of non-privileged, confidential, Company documents that Okta had compiled in response to a Section 220 books and records demand from certain of the Settling Stockholders. On May 21, 2024, Defendants produced to plaintiffs in the Delaware Federal Actions copies of additional non-privileged, confidential, Company documents (of more than 700 pages, for a total nearing 2,000 pages) that Okta had compiled in response to a Section 220 books and records demand from certain of the Settling Stockholders.

As set forth below, plaintiffs in the Delaware Federal Actions agree to be bound by the terms of this Stipulation and further agree to voluntarily dismiss the Delaware Federal Actions


Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement			4			Case No. 3:22-cv-07480-SI

with prejudice within five (5) business days following the entry of Final Judgment by the Court approving the Settlement (as defined in ¶ 1.11).

3.The Delaware Chancery Action

On February 2, 2024, Grimaldi sent Okta a letter seeking production of books and records pursuant to Section 220. After entering into a mutually negotiated confidentiality agreement, Okta produced to Grimaldi nearly 2,000 pages of responsive documents (the “220 Documents”). On June 25, 2024, utilizing the 220 Documents, Grimaldi filed the first action comprising the Delaware Chancery Action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”) derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment (the “Grimaldi Action”). On July 18, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted the parties’ stipulation providing for a stay of the Grimaldi Action until the then-pending settlement of the Securities Class Action was approved or denied by a final, non-appealable order from the Court.

On February 28, 2023, Duprat sent Okta a letter seeking production of books and records pursuant to Section 220. After entering into a mutually negotiated confidentiality agreement, Okta produced to Duprat 1,174 pages of non-privileged, confidential, Company documents pursuant to Section 220. On October 18, 2024, utilizing those confidential documents, Duprat filed the second action comprising the Delaware Chancery Action in the Delaware Chancery Court derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment (the “Duprat Action”).

On November 8, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted the parties’ stipulation consolidating the Grimaldi Action and the Duprat Action into the Delaware Chancery Action,


Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement			5			Case No. 3:22-cv-07480-SI

designating the complaint filed in the Grimaldi Action as the operative complaint for the Delaware Chancery Action, and providing for a stay of the Delaware Chancery Action until the settlement of the Securities Class Action was approved or denied by a final, non-appealable order from the Court.

As set forth below, plaintiffs in the Delaware Chancery Action agree to be bound by the terms of this Stipulation and further agree to voluntarily dismiss the Delaware Chancery Action with prejudice within five (5) business days following entry of Final Judgment by the Court approving the Settlement (as defined in ¶ 1.11).

4.The Demanding Stockholders

On October 23, 2023, Shumacher sent Okta a letter seeking production of books and records pursuant to Section 220. On March 9, 2024, after entering into a mutually negotiated confidentiality agreement, Okta produced 1,174 pages of non-privileged, confidential, Company documents in response to Shumacher’s Section 220 demand. On October 18, 2024, Shumacher sent a letter to the Board demanding that the Company initiate legal action against its officers and directors for the misconduct alleged in Shumacher’s demand letter, which incorporated confidential information gathered from his Section 220 demand.

On December 12, 2023, Taylor sent a letter to the Board demanding that the Company initiate legal action against certain of its officers and directors for the misconduct alleged in Taylor’s demand letter.

As set forth below, the Demanding Stockholders agree to be bound by the terms of this Stipulation and to withdraw their demand letters to Okta’s Board upon entry of Final Judgment by the Court approving the Settlement (as defined in ¶ 1.11).

B.Mediation


Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement			6			Case No. 3:22-cv-07480-SI

The Settling Parties, by and through their undersigned attorneys, have engaged in good faith, arm’s-length discussions with regard to the possible settlement of the Derivative Matters. On March 25, 2024, Co-Lead Counsel in the California Federal Action and counsel for plaintiffs in the Delaware Federal Actions, along with counsel for Okta and certain of the Individual Defendants, participated in a full day, in person mediation session in New York City before David Murphy, Esq. of Phillips ADR Enterprises (the “Mediator”), a nationally recognized mediator with extensive experience mediating complex shareholder disputes similar to the Derivative Matters who also served as Mediator in the Securities Class Action.

In advance of the March 25, 2024 mediation, Defendants produced 511 pages of documents to plaintiffs in the California Federal Action and counsel for plaintiffs in the Delaware Federal Actions subject to the mediation privilege, and the California Federal Action plaintiffs, with the assistance of their expert, Jerry Bessette, Chief Operating Officer of Cyber Defense Labs, provided Okta and the Individual Defendants with: (i) a settlement demand with proposed reforms aimed at strengthening the Company’s internal controls and corporate governance practices to prevent recurrence of the alleged misconduct and alleged damage to the Company at issue in the Derivative Matters; (ii) information requests concerning matters that plaintiffs in the California Federal Action viewed as relevant to the Derivative Matters and the reforms being negotiated; and (iii) a detailed mediation statement setting out California Federal Action plaintiffs’ positions regarding the alleged misconduct, damages, and arguments at issue in the case. Plaintiffs in the Delaware Federal Actions likewise submitted a detailed mediation statement setting out their positions regarding the alleged misconduct, alleged damages, and arguments at issue in their cases, as well as a settlement demand (which included proposed reforms aimed at strengthening the Company’s internal controls and corporate governance


Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement			7			Case No. 3:22-cv-07480-SI

practices to prevent recurrence of the alleged damage to the Company at issue in the Derivative Matters).

While no resolution was reached at the March 25, 2024 mediation session, the parties continued discussing a potential settlement thereafter and engaged in frank discussions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the claims and defenses at issue, with the facilitation and involvement of the Mediator, as necessary.

On May 23, 2024, Grimaldi provided Okta and the Individual Defendants with a settlement demand with proposed reforms aimed at strengthening the Company’s internal controls and corporate governance practices to prevent recurrence of the alleged damage to the Company at issue in the Derivative Matters, as well as certain information and document requests.

On June 26, 2024, all Settling Parties participated in a joint video conference with the Mediator, during which the Settling Parties continued to debate their positions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the claims and defenses at issue in the Derivative Matters, but no resolution was reached during that conference.

Thereafter, the Settling Parties, with the assistance of the Mediator, continued to exchange information, documents, and detailed written settlement proposals and counter-proposals, debating the merits of the proposals in numerous communications between the Settling Parties’ Counsel and the Mediator. From July to September 2024, Settling Stockholders’ Counsel had numerous discussions with Settling Defendants’ Counsel and the Mediator regarding settlement issues and to request additional information. On September 20, 2024, Settling Stockholders’ Counsel were provided with information on a confidential basis specifically directed at certain of the issues in the Derivative Matters.


Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement			8			Case No. 3:22-cv-07480-SI

Following further negotiations and the exchange of written proposals, on December 12, 2024, the Settling Parties reached an agreement in principle on the material terms for the Settlement, and thereafter negotiated the terms of a written memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) outlining the material terms and conditions for the release of all claims asserted in the Derivative Matters in consideration for the Company’s agreement to adopt, implement, and/or maintain the corporate governance practices, policies and procedures, internal controls and Board composition reforms as set forth below in ¶ 2.2 (the “Reforms”). On January 10, 2025, the Settling Parties signed the MOU outlining the material terms and conditions of the proposed Settlement. The Settling Parties believe that the proposed Settlement is in the best interests of Okta and Current Okta Stockholders (as defined in ¶ 1.4 herein).

The Settling Parties then commenced negotiations facilitated by the Mediator regarding reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses to be paid to Settling Stockholders’ Counsel, subject to Court approval, in consideration for the substantial benefits conferred upon Okta and Current Okta Stockholders by the Reforms. Following the exchange of various written proposals, the Settling Parties ultimately agreed to a subsequent mediation session regarding attorneys’ fees and expenses, after which the Mediator made a double-blind recommendation that was accepted by the Settling Parties on April 14, 2025.

C.The Settling Parties Agree That the Settlement Confers Substantial Benefits Upon and Serves the Best Interests of the Company and Its Stockholders

The Settling Stockholders asserted claims for violations of the Exchange Act and breach of fiduciary duty and related stockholder causes of action under Delaware law against the Individual Defendants in connection with, inter alia, the Individual Defendants’ alleged: (i) material misstatements and omissions about the Company’s merger with Auth0 Inc. and the difficulties encountered integrating that entity into the Company’s operations; and (ii) failure to


Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement			9			Case No. 3:22-cv-07480-SI

implement and maintain an effective internal control system over cybersecurity, leading to data security incidents that Settling Stockholders assert damaged the Company’s reputation as a trusted workforce data security platform.

The Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel brought the claims in good faith and continue to believe that the claims asserted in the Derivative Matters have merit. However, the Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel recognize and acknowledge the expense, time, and uncertainty inherent in the continued prosecution of their claims in the Derivative Matters through trial(s) and any subsequent appeal(s). The Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel also have taken into account the uncertain outcome and the risk of any litigation, especially in complex actions such as the Derivative Matters, as well as the difficulties and delays inherent in such litigation. The Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel also are mindful of the inherent problems of proof of, and possible defenses to, the claims asserted in the Derivative Matters. Based on their investigation and evaluation set forth in more detail infra, the Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel have determined that the proposed Settlement set forth in this Stipulation is in the best interests of Okta and Current Okta Stockholders.

Settling Stockholders’ Counsel have conducted an extensive investigation, including, inter alia: (i) reviewing Okta’s press releases, public statements, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, and securities analysts’ reports and advisories about the Company; (ii) reviewing public filings, media reports, and analyst commentaries about the Company and its technologies; (iii) researching the applicable law with respect to the claims asserted in the Derivative Matters and the potential defenses thereto; (iv) reviewing and analyzing the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Conduct and the charters of all Board


Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement			10			Case No. 3:22-cv-07480-SI

committees; (v) reviewing and analyzing the pleadings and other papers filed in the Securities Class Action, and evaluating the merits of, and the Individual Defendants’ alleged liability in connection with, the Securities Class Action and the Derivative Matters; (vi) reviewing and evaluating nearly 2,000 pages of confidential, internal Okta documents that were produced in response to certain Settling Stockholders’ Section 220 demands; (vii) preparing and filing derivative complaints, preparing a draft amended complaint in the California Federal Action, and preparing and serving the litigation and Section 220 demands in the Derivative Matters; (viii) reviewing the Company’s existing corporate governance policies and preparing extensive settlement demands detailing proposed corporate governance reforms to strengthen the Company’s internal controls and corporate governance practices; (ix) the California Federal Action plaintiffs’ retention, and consultations with, a highly-qualified expert to assist them in understanding the technical matters at issue, preparing detailed internal control and corporate governance reforms and information requests; (x) preparing extensive mediation statements; (xi) participating in the full day, in person mediation session and substantive, protracted settlement discussions with Settling Defendants’ Counsel under the auspices of the Mediator; (xii) reviewing and analyzing confidential information provided to Settling Stockholders’ Counsel in the context of mediation; and (xiii) negotiating the MOU and this Stipulation.

Based on Settling Stockholders’ Counsel’s thorough review and analysis of the relevant facts, allegations, defenses, and controlling legal principles, the Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel submit that the proposed Settlement set forth in this Stipulation is fair, reasonable, and adequate, and in the best interests of Okta and Current Okta Stockholders. Each of the Settling Parties recognizes and acknowledges that the Derivative Matters have been initiated, filed, and prosecuted by Settling Stockholders in good faith and defended by Settling


Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement			11			Case No. 3:22-cv-07480-SI

Defendants in good faith, that the Derivative Matters are being voluntarily settled with the advice of counsel, and that the terms of the proposed Settlement are fair, reasonable, and adequate.

D.Defendants’ Denials of Wrongdoing

The Settling Defendants and Released Persons have denied and continue to deny all allegations of wrongdoing, fault, liability, and/or damage to the Settling Stockholders, to the Company, or to the Company’s current and former stockholders, including without limitation: that they engaged in any wrongdoing or violation of federal, Delaware, or other law; that they breached any fiduciary duty; that they wasted corporate assets, were unjustly enriched, engaged in gross mismanagement, or aided and abetted any breaches of fiduciary duty; that the Company’s disclosures were deficient in any way; and that they acted in bad faith or improperly in any way. The Settling Defendants believe that they and all Released Persons have acted properly at all times, believe that the complaints in the California Federal Action, the Delaware Federal Actions, and the Delaware Chancery Action and the Demanding Stockholders’ litigation demands and/or Section 220 demands have no merit, and believe that the Settling Stockholders have failed to and/or cannot plead or prove any of the asserted claims for relief or meet their burden of pleading with particularity that any demand on the Company’s Board was excused as futile.

Nonetheless, taking into account the uncertainty and risks inherent in any complex litigation such as this case, the Settling Defendants have concluded that further litigation of the Derivative Matters would be protracted, burdensome, and expensive, and that it is desirable and beneficial that the claims asserted in or that could be asserted in the Derivative Matters be fully and finally settled and terminated in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Stipulation.

II.SUMMARY OF THE LITIGATION

A.The California Federal Action

On November 28, 2022, Stockholder O’Dell filed the first action comprising the California Federal Action in the Court derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants alleging claims for violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and waste of corporate assets under Delaware law. On December 13, 2022, Stockholder LR Trust filed the second action comprising the California Federal Action in the Court on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants alleging claims for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and for breach of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement under Delaware law.

On February 22, 2023, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation consolidating the two actions into the California Federal Action and providing for a stay of the California Federal Action pending resolution of a then-pending motion to dismiss in the related securities class action styled In re Okta, Inc., Securities Litigation, Case No. 3:22-cv-02990-SI (N.D. Ca.) (the “Securities Class Action”). On March 31, 2023, the Court entered an order granting in part and denying in part the motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action. Thereafter, on May 9, 2023,

the Court granted the California Federal Action parties’ subsequent stipulation providing for a stay of the California Federal Action through the close of discovery in the Securities Class Action.

B.The Delaware Federal Actions

On April 14, 2023, Stockholder Buono filed the Buono Action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“Delaware Federal Court”) derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants alleging claims for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty under Delaware law. On May 31, 2023, the Delaware Federal Court granted the parties’ stipulation providing for a stay of the Buono Action through the close of discovery in the Securities Class Action.

On January 25, 2024, Stockholder Nasr filed the related Nasr Action in the Delaware Federal Court derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual

Defendants, alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment under Delaware law. On March 18, 2024, the Delaware Federal Court granted the defendants’ unopposed motion to stay the Delaware Federal Actions through the close of discovery in the Securities Class Action.

C.The Delaware Chancery Action

On February 2, 2024, Stockholder Grimaldi sent Okta a letter seeking production of books and records pursuant Section 220. After entering into a mutually negotiated confidentiality agreement, Okta produced more than 1,900 pages of responsive documents (the “220 Documents”). On June 25, 2024, utilizing the 220 Documents, Stockholder Grimaldi filed the first action comprising the Delaware Chancery Action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”) derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. On July 18, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted the parties’ stipulation providing for a stay of the Grimaldi action until the then-pending settlement of the Securities Class Action was approved or denied by a final, non-appealable order from the Court.

On February 28, 2023, stockholder Duprat sent Okta a letter seeking production of books and records pursuant to Section 220. After entering into a mutually negotiated confidentiality agreement, Okta produced 1,174 pages of non-privileged, confidential, Company documents pursuant to Section 220. On October 18, 2024, utilizing those confidential documents, Stockholder Duprat filed the second action comprising the Delaware Chancery Action in the Delaware Chancery Court derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Okta against certain of the Individual Defendants alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment.

On November 8, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted the parties’ stipulation consolidating the two actions into the Delaware Chancery Action, designating Stockholder Grimaldi’s complaint as the operative complaint for the Delaware Chancery Action, and providing for a stay of the Delaware Chancery Action until the settlement of the Securities Class Action was approved or denied by a final, non-appealable order from the Court.

D.The Demanding Stockholders

On October 23, 2023, Stockholder Shumacher sent Okta a letter seeking production of books and records pursuant to Section 220. On March 9, 2024, after entering into a mutually negotiated confidentiality agreement, Okta produced nearly 1,174 pages of non-privileged, confidential, Company documents in response to Shumacher’s Section 220 demand. On October 18, 2024, Shumacher sent a letter to the Board demanding that the Company initiate legal action against certain of its officers and directors for the misconduct alleged in Shumacher’s demand letter, which incorporated confidential information gathered from his Section 220 demand.

E.Mediation

On March 25, 2024, Co-Lead Counsel in the California Federal Action and counsel for plaintiffs in the Delaware Federal Actions, along with counsel for Okta and certain of the Individual Defendants, participated in a full day, in person mediation session in New York City before the Mediator, who also served as Mediator in the Securities Class Action. In advance of the March 25, 2024 mediation, Defendants produced 511 pages of documents to plaintiffs in the California Federal Action and the Delaware Federal Actions subject to the mediation privilege, and the California Federal Action plaintiffs, with the assistance of their expert, Jerry Bessette, Chief Operating Officer of Cyber Defense Labs, provided Okta and the Individual Defendants with: (i) a settlement demand with proposed reforms aimed at strengthening the Company’s internal controls and corporate governance practices to prevent recurrence of the alleged misconduct and alleged damage to the Company at issue in the Derivative Matters; (ii) information requests concerning matters that plaintiffs in the California Federal Action viewed as relevant to the Derivative Matters and the reforms being negotiated; and (iii) a detailed mediation statement setting out the California Federal Action plaintiffs’ positions regarding the alleged misconduct, damages, and arguments at issue in the case. Plaintiffs in the Delaware Federal Actions likewise submitted a detailed mediation statement setting out their positions regarding the alleged misconduct, damages, and arguments at issue in their cases, as well as a settlement demand (which included proposed reforms aimed at strengthening the Company’s internal controls and corporate governance practices to prevent recurrence of the alleged damage to the Company at issue in the Derivative Matters).

While no resolution was reached at the March 25, 2024 mediation session, the parties continued discussing a potential settlement thereafter and engaged in frank discussions regarding

the strengths and weaknesses of the claims and defenses at issue, with the facilitation and involvement of the Mediator, as necessary.

Derivative Matters in consideration for the Company’s agreement to adopt, implement, and/or maintain the corporate governance practices, policies and procedures, internal controls and Board composition reforms as set forth below in ¶ 2.2 of the Stipulation (the “Reforms”). On January 10, 2025, the Settling Parties signed the MOU outlining the material terms and conditions of the proposed Settlement. The Settling Parties believe that the proposed Settlement is in the best interests of Okta and Current Okta Stockholders (as defined in ¶ 1.4 of the Stipulation).

Additionally, as set forth in ¶ 2.3 of the Stipulation, the Settling Defendants acknowledge that the Derivative Matters and/or Settling Stockholders’ litigation and settlement efforts in the Derivative Matters were a substantial factor in implementing the following Reforms: (a) the Board’s amendments to the “Corporate Governance Guidelines” on September 14, 2023; (b) the Board’s amendments to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter on September 14, 2023; (c) the Board’s amendments to the Compensation Committee Charter on June 22, 2023; (d) the establishment of the Board-level Cybersecurity Risk Committee and the Board’s adoption of the Cybersecurity Risk Committee Charter on December 14, 2023; and (e) the Board’s adoption of the Compensation Clawback Policy on October 2, 2023.

or could have been brought in any court by Settling Stockholders in the Derivative Matters, or by Okta or Current Okta Stockholders against Okta, the Individual Defendants, and their Related Parties (as defined in ¶ 1.22 of the Stipulation) relating to any of the facts, allegations, claims, transactions, events, matters, occurrences, acts, disclosures, statements, representations, omissions or failures to act which were alleged or could have been alleged or asserted in any of the Derivative Matters. The Stipulation (see ¶ 5.2) further provides that the entry of judgment will bar and release any known or unknown claims that have been or could have been brought in any court by Settling Defendants against Settling Stockholders or Settling Stockholders’ Counsel related to any of the claims or matters that were or could have been alleged or asserted in any of the Derivative Matters or based upon or arising out of the institution, prosecution, assertion, settlement, or resolution of the Derivative Matters.

IV.SETTLING STOCKHOLDERS’ COUNSELS’ FEE AND EXPENSE AMOUNT AND SETTLING STOCKHOLDERS’ SERVICE AWARD

Prior to negotiating and agreeing upon the Fee and Expense Amount, the Settling Parties negotiated and agreed upon the Reforms to be adopted as part of the Settlement. The Settling Parties agree that the Settlement confers substantial benefits upon Okta and Current Okta Stockholders, and that Settling Stockholders’ Counsel are entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses in the amount of $2,250,000, subject to the approval of the Court (the “Fee and Expense Amount”). The Fee and Expense Amount includes fees and expenses incurred by Settling Stockholders’ Counsel in connection with the prosecution and settlement of the Derivative Matters. To date, Settling Stockholders’ Counsel have not received any payments for their efforts on behalf of Okta stockholders nor have Settling Stockholders’ Counsel been reimbursed for their out-of-pocket litigation expenses. The Fee and Expense Amount will compensate Settling Stockholders’ Counsel for the substantial benefits achieved in the Derivative

Matters, and the risks of undertaking the prosecution of the Derivative Matters on a contingent basis.

Settling Defendants have agreed not to oppose reasonable service awards in the amount of $3,000 to each Settling Stockholder to be paid out of the Fee and Expense Amount in recognition of Settling Stockholders’ efforts to achieve the Settlement’s benefits to the Company, subject to Court approval (the “Service Award”).

V.REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE SETTLEMENT

Counsel for the Settling Parties believe that the Settlement is in the best interests of Okta, and Current Okta Stockholders.

A.Why Did the Settling Stockholders Agree to Settle?

The Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel brought the claims in good faith and continue to believe that the claims asserted in the Derivative Matters have merit. However, the Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel recognize and acknowledge the expense, time, and uncertainty inherent in the continued prosecution of their claims in the Derivative Matters through trial and any subsequent appeal(s). The Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel also have taken into account the uncertain outcome and the risk of any litigation, especially in complex actions such as the Derivative Matters, as well as the difficulties and delays inherent in such litigation. The Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel also are mindful of the inherent problems of proof of, and possible defenses to, the claims asserted in the Derivative Matters.

Based upon their investigation, Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel have concluded that the terms and conditions of the Stipulation are fair, reasonable and adequate to Settling Stockholders, Current Okta Stockholders, and Okta, and in their best interests, and

have agreed to settle the claims raised in the Derivative Matters pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Stipulation after considering, among other things: (a) the substantial benefits that Current Okta Stockholders and Okta have received or will receive from the Reforms; (b) the attendant risks of continued litigation; (c) actions taken by the Company and its Board in response to the alleged material misstatements and omissions; and (d) the desirability of permitting the proposed Settlement to be consummated.

In particular, Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel considered the significant litigation risk inherent in shareholder derivative litigation. The law imposes significant burdens on plaintiffs for pleading and proving a shareholder derivative claim. While Settling Stockholders believe their claims are meritorious, Settling Stockholders acknowledge that there is a substantial risk that the Derivative Matters may not succeed in producing a recovery in light of the applicable legal standards and possible defenses. Settling Stockholders and Settling Stockholders’ Counsel believe that, under the circumstances, they have obtained the best possible relief for Okta and Current Okta Stockholders.

B.Why Did the Settling Defendants Agree to Settle?

Settling Defendants have strenuously denied, and continue strenuously to deny, each and every allegation of liability, fault, wrongdoing, and/or damage made against them in the Derivative Matters and assert that they have meritorious defenses to those claims and that judgment should be entered dismissing all claims against them with prejudice. Settling Defendants have thus entered into this Stipulation solely to avoid the continuing additional expense, inconvenience, and distraction of litigating the Derivative Matters and to avoid the risks inherent in any complex litigation, and without admitting any wrongdoing, fault, liability and/or damage whatsoever.

VI.SETTLEMENT HEARING

On , 2025, at 10:00 a.m., the Court will hold the Settlement Hearing either in person at the United States District Courthouse for the Northern District of California, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, Courtroom 1, 17th Floor, San Francisco, California, 94102, or by telephone or videoconference (at the discretion of the Court). At the Settlement Hearing, the Court will consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate and thus should be finally approved and whether the California Federal Action should be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Stipulation. The Court also will rule upon the Fee and Expense Amount to Settling Stockholders’ Counsel and Settling Stockholders’ Service Award.
