DocuSign Envelope ID: 4E304DE0-FC74-4B04-A0E9-32E5ED66EF05 March 21, 2019 Anna Griffin via email Dear Anna: Smartsheet, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you employment with the Company on the terms described below. 1. Position. You will start in a full-time position as Chief Marketing Officer and will initially report to the Company’s President & CEO. By signing this letter, you confirm with the Company that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties with the Company. 2. Compensation and Employee Benefits. You will be paid a starting base salary at the rate of $350,000 per year, payable on the Company’s regular payroll dates. You will be eligible for an annual bonus targeted at 50% of your base salary contingent on achievement of company objectives. You will be eligible for a prorated bonus amount in fiscal year 2020 (February 2019 through January 2020). If you relocate to Washington state, you will receive a $30,000 move bonus payable within 30 days of your relocation date. As a full-time employee of the Company you will be eligible to participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefits, including a Company-funded health benefits plan, subsidized parking or public transit, and 401(k) plan. Should you elect to decline participation in the Company health plan, you are eligible to receive a portion of the premium on a monthly basis. You will accrue four weeks, which is equal to 20 working days, of paid time off (PTO) annually. 3a. Stock Options. Management will recommend to the Compensation Committee of Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) that you be granted an option to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock with a target expense value of $1,750,000. The number of shares will be determined using our most recent Black Scholes estimate. The exercise price per share will be equal to the fair market value per share on the date the option is granted, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith. Assuming continuous service, 25% of the option will vest on the 15th day of the month in which the one year anniversary of your hire date occurs, and 6.25% of the option will vest every three months thereafter. The option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Company’s 2018 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable stock option agreement. However, the grant of such an option by the Company is subject to the Committee’s approval and this recommendation of approval is not a commitment of compensation and does not create any obligation on the part of the Company. Further details on the Plan and any specific option granted to you will be provided upon approval of such grant by the Committee. 3b. Restricted Stock Units. Management will recommend to the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) that you be granted an award of restricted stock units
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4E304DE0-FC74-4B04-A0E9-32E5ED66EF05 (“RSUs”) with a target value of $1,750,000. The number of shares will be determined by dividing the award value by the average closing price over the 30 day period ending on the last day of the month prior to your hire date (or such trading days as the company has been publicly traded) rounded down to the nearest whole share. Assuming continuous service, 25% of the RSUs will vest on the 15th day of the month in which the one year anniversary of your hire date occurs, and 6.25% of the RSUs will vest every three months thereafter. The award will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to RSUs awarded under the Company’s 2018 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable restricted stock unit award agreement. However, the grant of such an award by the Company is subject to the Committee’s approval and this recommendation of approval is not a commitment of compensation and does not create any obligation on the part of the Company. Further details on the Plan and any specific award granted to you will be provided upon approval of such award by the Committee. 4.
