Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) requires that our executive officers,
directors and 10% stockholders file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Such directors, executive officers and 10% holders of our common stock are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file.
SEC regulations require us to identify in this proxy statement anyone who filed a required report late during the most
recent fiscal year. Based on our review of forms we received, or written representations of our executive officers, directors and 10% holders, we believe that during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, all Section 16(a) filing
requirements were satisfied on a timely basis except for a Form 3 filed by Bain Capital Public Equity Management, LLC, Brookside Capital Partners Fund, L.P. and Brookside Capital Trading Fund, L.P. (collectively the Bain Capital Joint
Filers) with the SEC on March 30, 2017, as amended on March 31, 2017 and a Form 4 for the Bain Capital Joint Filers filed with the SEC on March 30, 2017, as amended on March 31, 2017.
Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our board of directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of our
directors and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable to us in general. In addition, our board of directors has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and
directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of our corporate governance guidelines and our code of business conduct and ethics is posted on the
Governance portion of our website at http://investors.mulesoft.com. We will post amendments to our code of business conduct and ethics or waivers of our code of business conduct and ethics for directors and executive officers on the same website.
Board of Directors
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. The number of directors is fixed by our board of directors,
subject to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. Our board of directors consists of nine directors, eight of whom qualify as independent under the New York Stock Exchange
listing standards.
In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, our
board of directors is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective
three-year terms. Our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:
|
|
|
the Class I directors are Messrs. Little, Ryu and Schott and Ms. Winblad, and their terms expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2018;
|
4
|
|
|
the Class II directors are Messrs. Capellas and Mhatre and Ms. Wassenaar, and their terms expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2019; and
|
|
|
|
the Class III directors are Messrs. Burton and Collins, and their terms expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2020.
|
Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class
will consist of
one-third
of the directors. This classification of our board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of our company.
Director Independence
Our Class A common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, independent
directors must comprise a majority of a listed companys Board of Directors. In addition, the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed companys audit,
compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, a director will only qualify as an independent director if, in the opinion of that listed
companys board of directors, that director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in
Rule 10A-3
under the Exchange Act, and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in
Rule 10C-1
under the Exchange Act and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.
Our
board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each of our directors. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that Messrs.
Burton, Capellas, Collins, Little, Mhatre and Ryu and Mses. Wassenaar and Winblad do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these
directors is independent as that term is defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each
non-employee
director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by
each
non-employee
director, and the transactions involving them described in the section titled Related Person Transactions.
Board Leadership Structure
Greg Schott currently serves as both Chairman of our board of directors and as our Chief Executive Officer. Our independent directors bring
experience, oversight and expertise from outside of our Company, while Mr. Schott brings company-specific experience and expertise. We believe that the structure of our board of directors and its committees provides effective independent
oversight of management while Mr. Schotts combined role enables strong leadership, creates clear accountability and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to stockholders.
5
Lead Independent Director
Our board of directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines that provide that one of our independent directors should serve as our Lead
Independent Director at any time when our Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chairman of our board of directors or if the Chairman is not otherwise independent. Because Mr. Schott is our Chairman and is not an independent
director as defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, our Board of Directors has appointed Michael Capellas to serve as our Lead Independent Director. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. Capellas presides over periodic
meetings of our independent directors, serve as a liaison between our Chairman and our independent directors and perform such additional duties as our board of directors may otherwise determine and delegate.
Board Meetings and Committees
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the board of directors held eight meetings (including regularly scheduled and special
meetings), and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our board of directors held during the period for which he or she has been a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by
all committees of our board of directors on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served.
We encourage, but do not
require, members of our board of directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders.
Our board of directors has established an audit
committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our board of directors is described below. Members will serve on these committees until their
resignation or until otherwise determined by our board of directors.
Audit Committee
Our audit committee consists of Messrs. Collins and Mhatre and Mses. Wassenaar
and
Winblad, with Mr. Collins serving as the chair. Each member of our audit committee meets the requirements for independence for audit committee members under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and SEC rules and regulations.
Each member of our audit committee also meets the financial literacy and sophistication requirements of the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, our board of directors has determined that Mr. Collins is an audit
committee financial expert within the meaning of Item 407(d) of
Regulation S-K
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and satisfies the financial expertise
requirements under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Our audit committee is, among other things, responsible for the following:

Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Burton, Capellas, Little and Ryu, with Mr. Capellas serving as the chair. Each member of
our compensation committee meets the requirements for independence for compensation committee members under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and SEC rules and regulations, including
Rule 10C-1
under the Exchange Act. Each member of our compensation committee is also a
non-employee
director, as defined pursuant to
Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act, and an outside director, as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Our compensation committee is, among
other things, responsible for the following:
|
|
|
reviewing, approving and determining, or making recommendations to our board of directors regarding, the compensation of our executive officers;
|
|
|
|
administering our equity compensation plans;
|
|
|
|
reviewing, approving and making recommendations to our board of directors regarding incentive compensation and equity compensation plans; and
|
|

|
establishing and reviewing general policies relating to compensation and benefits of our employees.

Our compensation committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing
standards of the New York Stock Exchange. A copy of the charter of our compensation committee is available on our website at http:// investors.mulesoft.com. During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, our compensation committee held nine
meetings.
7
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Messrs. Capellas, Collins and Mhatre and Ms. Winblad, with Mr. Mhatre
serving as the chair. Each member of our nominating and corporate governance committee meets the requirements for independence under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and SEC rules and regulations. Our nominating and corporate
governance committee is, among other things, responsible for:

|
|

requirements set forth in our amended and restated bylaws and should be sent in writing to our General Counsel or our Legal Department at MuleSoft, Inc., 77 Geary Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, California 94108.
Director Compensation
In connection with our initial public offering in 2017, our board of directors adopted our Outside Director Compensation Policy. Members of the
board of directors who are not our employees are eligible to receive compensation under our Outside Director Compensation Policy. Our Outside Director Compensation Policy became effective on March 16, 2017. The Outside Director Compensation
Policy is summarized below.
Equity Compensation
|
|
|
Initial Award.
Each person who first becomes a
non-employee
director after March 16, 2017 and following the first annual meeting of our stockholders, or annual meeting, will be granted a restricted stock unit award, or the Initial Award, which grant will be effective on the date on which
|
8
|
such individual first becomes a
non-employee
director, whether through election by our stockholders or appointment by our board of directors to fill a
vacancy, having a value (as described below) of $175,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is (a) 12 minus (b) the number of full months between the date of our last annual meeting and the date the individual becomes a
non-employee
director, and the denominator of which is 12 (with the result rounded down to the nearest whole share). A director who is an employee who ceases to be an employee, but who remains as a director, will
not receive an Initial Award.
|
|
|
|
Annual RSU Award.
On the date of each annual meeting beginning with the first annual meeting following March 16, 2017, each
non-employee
director automatically will be
granted a restricted stock unit award having a value (as described below) equal to $175,000 (rounded down to the nearest whole share), or the Annual Award; provided that any
non-employee
director who is not
continuing as a director following the applicable annual meeting will not receive an Annual Award with respect to such annual meeting.
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each
non-employee
director who holds equity awards granted prior to
March 16, 2017, or
Pre-IPO
Awards, that remain unvested on the annual meeting date, the value of the Annual Award granted to such
non-employee
director with respect
to the annual meeting will be calculated by subtracting the
Pre-IPO
Award Value from $175,000. If the
Pre-IPO
Award Value is equal to or greater than $175,000, the
non-employee
director will not receive an Annual Award with respect to such annual meeting. For purposes of our Outside Director Compensation Policy,
Pre-IPO
Award Value means
the intrinsic value of shares subject to a
Pre-IPO
Award that are scheduled to vest during the
12-month
period following the date of the annual meeting at which the
Annual Award is to be granted, or the Vesting Shares, with such intrinsic value equal to the difference between the value of the Vesting Shares less the applicable exercise price of the Vesting Shares, if any. The value of the Vesting Shares will
equal the average fair market value (as defined in our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2017 Plan)) of one share of our Class A common stock for market trading days that occur in the completed calendar month immediately prior to the
calendar month in which the annual meeting occurs.
|
|
|
For purposes of our Outside Director Compensation Policy, value will equal the product of (i) the average fair market value of one share of our Class A common stock for the market trading days that occur in
the completed calendar month immediately prior to the calendar month in which the grant date of the award occurs and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of our Class A common stock subject to the award, as applicable.
|
|
|
|
Subject to the terms of the Outside Director Compensation Policy, each Initial Award and Annual Award will vest as to 100% of the shares subject thereto upon the earlier of the
one-year
anniversary of the grant date or the day prior to our next annual meeting occurring after the grant date, subject to the individuals continued service as a director through the applicable
vesting date.
|
|
|
|
In the event of a change in control (as defined in our 2017 Plan), each Initial Award or Annual Award will fully vest, provided that the
non-employee
director continues to serve
as a director through such date.
|
Non-employee
directors also are eligible to
receive all types of equity awards (except incentive stock options) under our 2017 Plan (or the applicable equity plan in place at the time of grant), including discretionary awards not covered under our Outside Director Compensation Policy.
9
Cash Compensation
Each year, each outside director will be eligible to receive a cash retainer of $30,000 for serving on our board of directors. In addition,

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Upon Termination or Change in Control
In January 2017, we adopted a Severance Policy applicable to our named executive officers and certain other key employees that superseded all
previous severance arrangements we had entered into with these eligible employees prior to the Severance Policy becoming effective (except that the individuals equity awards will continue to be governed by the terms of the applicable equity
agreements and plan documents, including any accelerated vesting provisions). Under our Severance Policy, if any eligible employee, including our named executive officers, is terminated by us other than for cause, as defined in the Severance Policy,
death or disability, as defined in the Severance Policy, or if the eligible employee terminates his or her employment with us due to a constructive termination, as defined in the Severance Policy, the eligible employee will be entitled to receive
severance benefits as exclusively provided for under the Severance Policy. Upon the occurrence of such an event, an eligible employee would be entitled to the following if such eligible employee timely signs and does not revoke a separation
agreement and release of claims: (i) a
lump-sum
cash severance payment equal to the eligible employees rate of pay multiplied by a severance multiple, and (ii) a
lump-sum
cash payment equal to $1,000 (which will be paid regardless of whether the eligible employee elects COBRA continuation coverage and can be used for any purpose by the eligible employee). The rate of
pay for an eligible employee equals the value of
one-week
of the eligible employees base salary. The severance multiple equals four plus the eligible employees length of service. For purposes of
the Severance Policy, length of service means the eligible employees number of completed years of continuous service with us beginning with the eligible employees most recent hire date through the date of the qualifying termination, with
any partial year of service rounded up to the next full year of service. In the event any of the amounts provided for under the Severance Policy or otherwise payable to an eligible employee would constitute a parachute payment within the
meaning of Section 280G of the Code and could be subject to the related excise tax, the eligible employee would be entitled to receive either full payment of benefits or such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the benefits being
subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of
after-tax
benefits to the eligible employee.
In addition, each of our named executive officers equity awards continues to be governed by the terms of the applicable equity
agreements and plan documents, including any accelerated vesting provisions, except to the extent amended by the letter agreements entered into by the named executive officers described below.
13
In the event that there is a change of control, as defined in each named executive officers award agreement, and on or within 12 months following the date of such change of control,
either the named executive officers employment is terminated without cause, as defined in the award agreement, or the named executive officer resigns for his employment with good reason, as defined in the award agreement, and provided the
named executive officer executes a general release at the time of his termination of employment, then vesting with respect to 50% of the unvested shares subject to each award will accelerate and become vested upon such termination.
For purposes of our equity award agreements with our named executive officers, cause means generally:
|
|
|
continued refusal or failure to perform duties reasonably expected of the executive in connection with his arrangement to provide services to us or any parent, subsidiary, or successor, as applicable (provided that the
executive is given 10 days written notice and opportunity to cure);
|
|
|
|
unprofessional, unethical, or fraudulent conduct or conduct that discredits us or any parent, subsidiary, or successor, as applicable, or is detrimental to our or any parents, subsidiarys, or
successors, as applicable, reputation, character, or standing;
|
|
|
|
dishonest conduct, or a deliberate attempt to do any injury to us or any parent, subsidiary, or successor, as applicable;
|
|
|
|
a material breach of any employment agreement between the executive and us or any parent, subsidiary, or successor, as applicable; or
|
|
|
|
a criminal act which would reflect badly on us or any parent, subsidiary, or successor, as applicable.
|
Effective March 20, 2018, each of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, entered into a letter agreement, or a
Letter Agreement, with us. Pursuant to the terms of each Letter Agreement, effective as of immediately prior to the completion of a merger involving the Company that constitutes a change of control of the Company under the terms of the
individuals respective equity award agreements, our named executive officers each agreed to waive, and acknowledged that they would not have the right to assert Good Reason under the terms of any equity award agreement with us as a
result of any changes to their duties, position, authority or responsibilities or the removal from such position and responsibilities. As consideration for entering into the Letter Agreement, the equity awards held by each of our named executive
officers were amended to provide that the number of unvested shares subject to an equity award that would vest upon a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change of control would increase from 50% to 100%. The accelerated
vesting percentage applicable to Mr. Schotts equity awards in the event of a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change of control did not change.
401(k) Plan
We maintain a
tax-qualified
retirement plan, or the 401(k) plan, that provides eligible employees with
an opportunity to save for retirement on a
tax-advantaged
basis. Eligible employees are able to participate in the 401(k) plan as of the first day of the month following the date they meet the 401(k)
plans eligibility
14
requirements, and participants are able to defer up to 85% of their eligible compensation subject to applicable annual Code limits. All participants interests in their deferrals are 100%
vested when contributed. The 401(k) plan permits us to make matching contributions and profit sharing contributions to eligible participants, although we have not made any such contributions to date.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
|
We describe
below transactions and series of similar transactions, since the beginning of our last fiscal year, to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:
|
|
|
the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and
|
|
|
|
any of our directors, nominees for director, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these
individuals or entities, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
|
Investors Rights
Agreement
We are party to an investors rights agreement which provides, among other things, that certain holders of our capital
stock, including entities affiliated with Bay Partners, entities affiliated with Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, entities affiliated with Lightspeed Venture Partners, Morgenthaler Partners VIII, L.P., entities affiliated with New Enterprise
Associates and Sapphire Ventures Fund I, L.P., have the right to demand that we file a registration statement or request that their shares of our capital stock be covered by a registration statement that we are otherwise filing.
Service Arrangements
Ross Mason is employed by us as our Vice President, Product Strategy. He earned $259,250 in annual salary and other cash compensation during
2017. He also received benefits consistent with other employees serving in a similar capacity.
During 2017, we incurred $1,485,454 of
expense for professional services, technical support services and other technical services provided on our behalf by Ricston Ltd. and Ricston UK Ltd. Ross Mason has a 30% equity ownership in Ricston Ltd.
During 2017, we paid $167,500 for an application delivery platform provided by NGINX, Inc. and sponsorship of NGINX, Inc.s conference.
Entities affiliated with New Enterprise Associates own greater than 5% equity ownership in NGINX, Inc.
During 2017, we paid $426,605 for
purchases of software subscriptions to New Relic, Inc. (New Relic), a vendor of the Company. Ms. Wassenaar is the former Chief Information Officer of New Relic.
During 2017, we received payments of $378,709 from Guidewire Software, Inc. (Guidewire) in connection with the purchases of
software subscriptions to the Companys Anypoint Platform. Mr. Ryu is the Chief Executive Officer of Guidewire.
Other Agreements
In addition to the indemnification required in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, we have
entered into an indemnification agreement with each member of our board of directors and each of our officers. These agreements provide for the indemnification of our directors
19
and officers for certain expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or hearing, inquiry or investigation that
may lead to the foregoing, to which they are a party, or are threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of our company, or any of our subsidiaries, by reason of any
action or inaction by them while serving as an officer, director, agent or fiduciary, or by reason of the fact that they were serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another entity. In the case of an action or
proceeding by or in the right of our company or any of our subsidiaries, no indemnification will be provided for any claim where a court determines that the indemnified party is prohibited from receiving indemnification. We believe that these
charter and bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our executive officers that, among other things, provide for certain severance and
change of control benefits. For a description of employment agreements with our named executive officers, see Executive CompensationExecutive Employment Agreements.
We have granted stock options to our named executive officers, other executive officers and certain of our directors. See Executive
CompensationExecutive Employment Agreements.
Other than as described above, since January 1, 2017, we have not entered
into any transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, between us and a related party where the amount involved exceeds, or would exceed, $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material
interest. We believe the terms of the transactions described above were comparable to terms we could have obtained in
arms-length
dealings with unrelated third parties.
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
Our board of directors has adopted a formal written policy providing that our audit committee will be responsible for reviewing related
party transactions, which are transactions, arrangements or relationships (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships), to which we are a party, in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to
exceed $120,000 and in which a related person has, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. For purposes of this policy, a related person is defined as a director, executive officer, nominee for director or greater than 5% beneficial
owner of our capital stock, in each case since the beginning of the most recently completed year, and any of their immediate family members. In determining whether to approve or ratify any such transaction, our audit committee will take into
account, among other factors it deems appropriate, (i) whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to unaffiliated third parties under the same or similar circumstances and (ii) the extent of the
related partys interest in the transaction. The policy grants standing
pre-approval
of certain transactions, including (i) certain compensation arrangements of executive officers, (ii) certain
director compensation arrangements, (iii) transactions with another company at which a related partys only relationship is as a
non-executive
employee, director or beneficial owner of less than 10%
of that companys shares and the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $200,000 or 2% of the companys total annual revenue, (iv) transactions where a related partys interest arises solely from the ownership
of our common stock and all holders of our common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis, and (v) transactions available to all U.S. employees generally.
