Appointment of New Officer

On December 6, 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Stewart Grierson as Chief Financial Officer, effective December 13, 2021, which will be Mr. Grierson’s first day of employment with the Company.

Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Grierson, 55, was the chief financial officer of Delphix, an enterprise software development and IT operations company, from April 2015 until December 2021. Prior to joining Delphix, Mr. Grierson served as chief financial officer and senior vice president, operations at Coraid, and as chief financial officer of ArcSight. Earlier in Mr. Grierson’s career, he worked at KPMG. Mr. Grierson also serves as a board member of a privately-held company. Mr. Grierson holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from McGill University.

The Company entered into an employment letter with Mr. Grierson. The employment letter does not have a specific term and provides that Mr. Grierson will serve as an at-will employee. Mr. Grierson’s annual base salary will be $400,000 and he will be eligible to participate in the Company’s executive bonus program with a discretionary bonus target of 62.5% of his annual base salary. In addition, subject to approval of the board of directors or the compensation committee, Mr. Grierson will be granted an equity award of 480,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The RSUs will vest as to 25% on the one year anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date, and 1/16th of the RSUs will vest on a quarterly basis thereafter in accordance with the Company’s equity grant practices and subject to Mr. Grierson’s continuous service with the Company through each such date. Further, subject to approval of the board of directors or the compensation committee, Mr. Grierson will also be granted an equity award of 120,000 performance-based units (“PSUs”). The PSUs will vest in accordance with the Company’s PSU program on terms similar to other executive officers and the Company’s equity grant practices, and subject to Mr. Grierson’s continuous service with the Company through each such date. The RSUs and PSUs will otherwise be subject to the terms of the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and the form of RSU agreement used under the plan.

The foregoing description of Mr. Grierson’s compensatory arrangement with the Company does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the employment offer letter, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company also entered into the Company’s standard change of control and severance agreement with Mr. Grierson. The change of control and severance agreement provides for certain severance payments and benefits if Mr. Grierson’s employment is terminated other than for “cause” (as defined in the agreement) or she resigns for “good reason”) as defined in the agreement, subject to Mr. Grierson satisfying certain other terms as set forth in the agreement. The Company will also enter into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement with Mr. Grierson. For a full description of the Company’s change in control and severance agreements and indemnification agreements, please see the Company’s Proxy Statement for its 2021 annual general meeting of stockholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2021.

You must be employed by Sumo Logic at the time bonuses are paid to earn and receive a bonus payment.
3.Employee Benefits. As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefits. We have a flexible paid time off policy that gives employees the freedom to take time away out of the office, with their supervisor’s approval, without being dependent on a vacation balance. The Company reserves the right to modify, amend, suspend, or terminate the benefit plans, programs, and policies it offers to its employees at any time.
4.Restricted Stock Units.

The RSUs will vest according to the following schedule: 25% of the RSUs will vest on the first quarterly vesting date that is on or after the 1 year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, with 1/16th of the RSUs vesting on each quarterly vesting date thereafter. The quarterly vesting dates will be the first trading day on or after each of March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15.  All vesting is subject to your continuous service to the Company (or a subsidiary of the Company) through the applicable vesting dates 
In addition, subject to your continued employment through the grant date, you will be eligible to participate in any PSU program on terms similar to other executive officers of the Company. Your PSUs will have a value of $2,040,000, with the number of shares to be based on a price per share

These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the Forward-Looking Statements safe harbor below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and acquisition-related expenses. We have not provided the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss per share is not available without unreasonable effort. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

Conference Call Details
The company will host a conference call and live webcast on Monday, December 6, 2021, at 1:30 p.m. Pacific time (4:30 p.m. Eastern time). The news release with the financial results will be accessible on Sumo Logic’s investor relations website at investor.sumologic.com prior to the conference call. To access the conference call, dial (877) 407-0784 from the United States or (201) 689-8560 internationally and reference the company name and conference title. Following the completion of the call, a replay will be available for approximately two weeks. The replay can be accessed by dialing (844) 512-2921 from the United States or (412) 317-6671 internationally and using the recording passcode 13725119. A live webcast and replay of the conference call can also be accessed from the Sumo Logic Investor Relations website at investor.sumologic.com.

Supplemental Financial and Other Information
Supplemental financial and other information can be accessed through Sumo Logic’s investor relations website at investor.sumologic.com. Sumo Logic uses the investor relations section on its website as the means of complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, we recommend that investors should monitor Sumo Logic’s investor relations website in addition to following Sumo Logic’s press releases, SEC filings and social media.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial measures, collectively, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information



presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including this press release.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as their respective GAAP measures, excluding expenses related to stock-based compensation expense and related employer taxes on equity, amortization of acquired intangibles, and acquisition-related expenses. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance.
Free cash flows: We define free cash flow as cash used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs. We believe free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity that provides our management, board of directors, and investors with information about our future ability to generate or use cash to enhance the strength of our balance sheet and further invest in our business and pursue potential strategic initiatives.
Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains express and implied forward-looking statements including but not limited to, statements regarding our GAAP and non-GAAP guidance for the fourth fiscal quarter and full fiscal year 2022, the expected benefits of hiring new executives and expectations regarding the benefits of our offerings, our growth strategy and investments, our market opportunity, and our ability to achieve success. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from our acquisitions, our ability to achieve and maintain future profitability, our ability to attract new customers and retain and sell additional functionality and services to our existing customers, our ability to sustain and manage our growth, our ability to successfully add new features and functionality to our platform, our ability to compete effectively in an increasingly competitive market, and general market, political, economic, and business conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, and other risks detailed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 10, 2021, and other filings and reports that we may file from time to time with the SEC. Additional information will be made available in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2021 that will be filed with the SEC, which should be read in conjunction with this press release and the financial results included herein.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The forward-looking statements included in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments could cause our views to change. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Sumo Logic Names Stewart Grierson Chief Financial Officer

Seasoned Executive with Broad Financial and Operational Experience Joins Sumo Logic to Help to Drive its Next Stage of Growth

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Dec. 6, 2021 – Sumo Logic (Nasdaq: SUMO), the pioneer in continuous intelligence, today announced the appointment of Stewart Grierson as Chief Financial Officer, effective Dec. 13, 2021. As a member of the company’s senior executive team, Stewart will focus on operational efficiency, financial management, and investor relations to drive Sumo Logic’s long-term growth.

“As every company increasingly embraces a digital-first strategy, Sumo Logic is strongly positioned as a real-time data analytics leader that can help them build, run and secure their digital applications and multi-cloud infrastructure,” said Ramin Sayar, president and CEO, Sumo Logic. “I’m thrilled to have Stewart join Sumo Logic and am excited to partner with him to capture the large and growing market opportunity in front of us.”

Stewart has been leading finance and operations teams of public and private technology companies for more than 25 years. He joins Sumo Logic from Delphix, a leader in DevOps software, where he served as CFO. In addition, Stewart previously spent 8 years as CFO at ArcSight, the first generation SIEM leader. This experience in two of the primary markets that Sumo Logic competes in, Security and Observability, will allow Stewart to quickly come up to speed on the company’s strategy and operational plans. Earlier in his career, Stewart worked at KPMG and holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from McGill University.

"Today’s digital economy requires fully integrated and automated applications and infrastructure that operates reliably in a multi-cloud environment to quickly deliver new software features, optimize customer experience, and maximize operational efficiencies, while managing security and compliance risk,” Grierson said. “The Sumo Logic Continuous Intelligence Platform allows customers to quickly identify and respond to security and compliance risks and pinpoint breakdowns across applications and multi-cloud infrastructures that negatively impact customer experience. It is a substantial market opportunity, and Sumo Logic is well positioned to be a leader with its cloud native unified platform, rich machine learning algorithms and proven ability to manage data at scale. I’m excited to join the team as we tackle the next phase of growth for the company."
