AGM 2024

Jun 12, 2024

Josh Faddis
General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Veeva Systems

Good morning. My name is Josh Faddis. I'm the General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Veeva Systems, and I'm happy to welcome you to Veeva's Annual Shareholder Meeting. The meeting will now officially come to order. The time is 9:01 A.M. Pacific Time on Wednesday, June 12th, 2024, and the polls are now open for voting on all matters to be presented at the meeting. As you know, we're hosting today's meeting through a virtual online platform that's provided by Broadridge. Before we proceed to the formal business of the meeting, I would like to introduce other members of Veeva's team who are with us today. The members of Veeva's management team with us today include Peter Gassner, our founder and CEO, who's also a Veeva director; Tim Cabral, our Interim CFO, who is also a Veeva director; Liang Dong, our Associate General Counsel.

Also, members of our board of directors are in attendance, and Katie Hilkemeyer from KPMG, our Audit Partner, is here as well. Also with us today is Kathy Wheaton from Broadridge Financial Solutions, who is acting as our inspector of elections. We will now move to the formal business of the meeting. Broadridge has delivered an affidavit of distribution establishing that notice of this meeting has been duly given. A copy of the notice and the affidavit of distribution will be filed with the minutes of the meeting. All stockholders of record at the close of business on April 15th, 2024, are entitled to vote at this meeting. Broadridge has also advised me that proxies have been received for a sufficient number of shares to constitute a quorum, so the meeting is duly convened for the purpose of transacting business.

Stockholders who are attending this meeting with a valid 16-digit control number may submit questions through the text box located on the virtual meeting screen. Liang Dong, our Associate General Counsel, will review the incoming questions, and during the Q&A portion of the meeting, will read questions out loud for us to respond. At today's meeting, Q&A will be limited to questions that pertain to the proposals presented for vote at this meeting. If you have questions on other topics, you can submit those by email to ir@veeva.com, and our investor relations team will respond. After questions, we will close the polls and end the meeting. We will not accept ballots, proxies, revocations, or changes after the close of the polls. If you have already submitted your vote by proxy and you don't wish to vote to change your vote, then you need not vote now.

If you have not already voted and you intend to do so, you must submit your vote online before the polls close. If you've logged in with your control number, you can vote online now by clicking the vote here, the blue icon that says vote here in the center of the page of the online meeting portal. I will now present the four proposals submitted for a vote at this meeting. The first item of business is the nomination and election of directors to serve until our annual meeting can be held in 2025 or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. We recommend you vote for all director nominees. The second item of business is to ratify the appointment of KPMG as Veeva's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31st, 2025, our current fiscal year.

We recommend you vote for the ratification of KPMG. The third item of business is the amendment and restatement of our certificate of incorporation to include Delaware law provisions for officer exculpation as described in our proxy statement. We recommend you vote for the amendment and restatement of our certificate of incorporation. The fourth item of business is to approve on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers as described in our proxy statement. We recommend you vote for approving named executive officer compensation. There are no other proposals for today's meeting. We will now review questions submitted by shareholders. As a reminder, at today's meeting, we will only be answering questions that pertain to the proposals I just presented. Liang, do we have any questions?

Liang Dong
Associate General Counsel, Veeva Systems

There are no questions.

Josh Faddis
General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Veeva Systems

All right. If you intend to vote at this meeting and you've not already done so, you must submit your vote online now in order for the vote to be counted. Again, just use the blue rectangular box in the middle of your portal. I'm going to pause for a minute or so to give folks a chance to vote if you've not already voted. All right. It's now 9:07 A.M. on Wednesday, January 12th. I hereby declare the polls closed. The inspector of election will conduct a final vote count of all the votes on the matters presented, and the results will be included in the minutes of the meeting and filed publicly on Form 8-K. This concludes the formal business of the meeting. As there is no further business, we will now adjourn this meeting.

Thank you very much for attending Veeva's 2024 annual stockholder meeting and for your continued support of Veeva. Thank you.
