Zane Rowe
c/o Workday, Inc.
6110 Stoneridge Mall Road
Pleasanton, CA 94588

Dear Zane,

Workday, Inc. (“Workday”) is happy to offer you a position as Chief Financial Officer reporting to Workday’s Co-CEO, Carl Eschenbach. Your planned start date is June 12, 2023.

Your role will be based in the Pleasanton, California office. For most roles, Workday has a flexible work model which allows office-based employees to divide their time working between their assigned office and working remotely. We expect that you and your manager will determine a schedule that meets both business and individual needs in line with our flexible work model, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. Subject to Conflict of Interest and related policies, you may manage personal investments, participate in civic, charitable, professional and academic activities (including serving on boards and committees), and serve on the board of directors (and any committees) of up to two (2) noncompetitive companies (subject to prior approval of the co-CEO), provided that such activities do not at the time the activity or activities commence or thereafter (at Workday’s sole discretion): (i) create an actual or potential business or fiduciary conflict of interest or (ii) individually or in the aggregate, interfere materially with the performance of your duties to the Company.

Your annualized starting salary is $700,000, which is payable according to Workday’s payroll cycle, and subject to applicable federal and state taxes.

You are eligible to participate in a variable (“incentive”) compensation plan, targeted at 50% of your annualized base pay. This plan, including terms and conditions, shall be provided shortly after commencing employment.

Workday will offer you a one-time hiring bonus of $2,000,000. This will be paid out in two installments. The first installment of $1,000,000 will be paid out within your first 30 days of employment, while the second installment of $1,000,000 will be paid approximately 12 months after your hire date in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures. To receive either installment of the bonus, you must be employed by Workday and in good standing on the day of the payment. Your bonus payments will be subject to applicable federal and state taxes, and any other applicable withholdings. Receipt of this bonus, however, is conditioned on your remaining with Workday for at least one year. By signing below you expressly agree to repay Workday the after tax amount of any hiring bonus that has been paid to you if you are terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Company’s Change in Control Policy) or you resign your employment without Good Reason (as defined in the Company’s Change in Control Policy) within a year of your start date.

In accordance with Workday’s standard grant practices, you will be granted restricted stock units (RSUs) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock with an approximate value of $18,000,000 USD. The number of shares will be determined by dividing the USD value above by the trailing simple moving average stock price of Workday Class A common stock for the 20 day period immediately preceding the Date of Grant. You will vest in these shares at the rate of 1/4 of the RSU shares after 12 months of continuous service from your vesting start date, then in equal quarterly installments of 1/16th of the total RSU shares, fully vesting in 4 years from your vesting start date. Assuming your start date remains June 12th, your vesting start date and Date of Grant are expected to be on or about July 5, 2023. Your RSU grant will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to stock granted under the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, as in effect on the date of grant, (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

Additionally, in accordance with Workday’s standard grant practices, you will be granted restricted stock units (RSUs) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock with an approximate value of $18,000,000 USD. The number of shares will be determined by dividing the USD value above by the trailing simple moving average stock price of Workday Class A common stock for the 20 day period immediately preceding the Date of Grant. You will vest in these shares at the rate of 1/8 of the RSU shares after 3 months of continuous service from your vesting start date, then in equal quarterly installments of 1/8th of the total RSU shares, fully vesting in 2 years from your vesting start date. Assuming your start date remains June 12th, your vesting start date and Date of Grant are expected to be on or about July 5, 2023. Your RSU grant will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to stock granted under the Plan, as described in the Plan and the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.








Under Workday’s Total Rewards program, high performing employees are eligible to receive additional equity grants during their employment (“refresh grants”), at the sole discretion of the Company and subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee. Employees hired on or before October 31st are eligible for, but not guaranteed, a refresh grant in the next fiscal year. Refresh grant targets vary by the employee’s role and location, and receipt of a grant and actual grant amounts are based on each employee’s contributions, skills, and future potential.

You shall be eligible for the Workday Change in Control Policy for the next four years, so long as your remain employed by Workday and if at any time during the next four years your then outstanding equity awards are not assumed, continued, or substituted in a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), then the vesting of all unvested equity awards will accelerate immediately prior to the Change in Control. After such time, you will be subject to the eligibility requirements, terms, and conditions of the Workday Change in Control Policy, as amended from time to time.If your employment is involuntarily terminated by Workday without Cause (as defined in the Change in Control Policy) within two years after your Start Date (other than in connection with Change in Control), you will be entitled to the following severance payments and acceleration benefits (“Severance Benefits”): (1) twelve months’ base salary in a single lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following termination of employment; (2) an Incentive Plan payout equal to 50% of your annual base salary in a single lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day following termination of employment; and (3) accelerated vesting of the unvested shares that would have vested in the next 12 months following your termination. Receipt of the Severance Benefits in this paragraph are contingent on your execution and delivery of a signed general release of claims in favor of the Company in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule A (the “Release”) and satisfying all conditions to make the Release effective, within 45 days after your termination date. A termination or resignation due to your death or disability shall not constitute a termination without Cause.

Your employment with Workday is “at-will”, meaning either you or Workday may terminate your employment at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. There is no promise by Workday that your employment will continue for a set period of time or that your employment will be terminated only under particular circumstances. Any exception to this at-will employment policy can only be made in writing by the Chief People Officer of Workday. In particular, this at-will employment policy cannot be modified by any statements, express or implied, contained in any employment handbook, application, memoranda, policy, procedure, or other materials or statements provided to you in connection with your employment.

Workday has its own way of doing business and its own unique, independently developed proprietary technology. We have neither the need nor desire to make any unauthorized use of any intellectual property or confidential information belonging to or developed by others. Workday understands the importance of protecting its own intellectual property and confidential information and respects the intellectual property and confidential information developed by other companies. We fully expect that each person who accepts a position with us will hold themselves to these same standards. No employee should reference, use or bring into the workplace any material that contains intellectual property or confidential information belonging to a previous employer or any other third party.

You will enter into an Indemnification Agreement with Workday and will be covered by the director and officer liability insurance policy currently maintained by the Company, or as may be maintained by the Company from time to time.

The offer of employment set forth in this Letter is contingent upon: (i) your execution of Workday’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement prior to your start date; (ii) your consent to, successful completion of, and passing of all applicable background checks; and (iii) your presentation of satisfactory documentary evidence of your identity and authorization to work in the U.S. within three (3) days of your date of hire. In addition, this offer of employment supersedes and replaces all prior verbal or written agreements between you and Workday, including, but not limited to, all prior offer letters. Like all Workday employees, you are also required, as a condition of your continued employment, to comply with Workday’s Employee Handbook and Code of Conduct as they may be updated and/or revised periodically.

Sincerely,


/s/ Ashley Goldsmith
