On October 5, 2024, the board of directors (the “Board”) of C3.ai, Inc. (the “Company”) elected General John E. Hyten, Ret. to the Board, effective immediately. Gen. Hyten was elected as a Class II director to hold office until the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal.

Consistent with its compensation for directors generally, Gen.

Hyten will receive options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock under the Company's Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, having an aggregate grant date fair value of $350,000 and vesting over a five-year period.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Gen. Hyten and any other persons pursuant to which he was elected as a director. Gen. Hyten has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed by the Company pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
