On June 5, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Chegg, Inc. (the “Company”), on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, appointed Melanie Whelan, effective immediately, to serve as a Class III director to hold office for a term expiring at the Company's 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, which is the next stockholder meeting at which Class III directors will be elected. In connection with Ms. Whelan’s appointment, the Board approved an increase in the authorized number of members of the Board from six to seven.

In connection with her service as a director, Ms. Whelan will receive the Company’s standard non-employee director cash and equity compensation. She will receive a $50,000 annual retainer for her service as a director, which will be pro-rated for the remainder of the calendar year 2019. She also was granted, on June 5, 2019, a restricted stock unit award to purchase 7,982 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “RSU”), which, using the closing price of the Company's stock on June 5, 2019, had a fair market value on the date of grant equal to approximately $300,000. The RSU will vest quarterly over three years for so long as Ms. Whelan serves as a director of the Company. The RSU is subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and its related agreements. Ms. Whelan will be eligible for stock option grants and restricted stock unit awards under the Plan. There is no understanding or arrangement between Ms. Whelan and any other person pursuant to which she was appointed as a director. There is no family relationship between Ms. Whelan and any director or officer of the Company, and except as stated herein, Ms. Whelan does not have any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
