Item 5.02 – Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 30, 2019, A. George (Skip) Battle, a current member of the Workday, Inc. (“Workday”) Board of Directors (the “Board”), notified the Board that he would not stand for re-election when his current term expires at the 2019 annual meeting of Workday’s stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”). Mr. Battle will continue to serve as a director until his term expires at the 2019 Annual Meeting, which is currently scheduled to be held on June 18, 2019. Mr. Battle’s decision not to stand for re-election is not the result of any disagreement with management or the Board, or related to Workday’s operations, policies, or practices.

Additionally, on and effective April 2, 2019, the Board elected Ann-Marie Campbell as a Class III director, to serve until the 2021 annual meeting of Workday’s stockholders or until her successor is duly elected. Ms. Campbell is Executive Vice President – U.S. Stores at The Home Depot, Inc., a large home improvement retailer (“The Home Depot”), a position she has held since February 2016. From January 2009 to February 2016, she served as The Home Depot’s Division President of the Southern Division, and from December 2005 to January 2009, she served as its Vice President – Vendor Services. Ms. Campbell began her career with The Home Depot in 1985 and has held roles of increasing responsibility since she joined the company, including vice president roles in the company’s operations, merchandising, and marketing departments. Ms. Campbell has also served as a director of Potbelly Corporation, a chain of neighborhood sandwich shops, since August 2014, and previously served as a director of Barnes and Noble Inc., a large retail bookseller, from June 2015 to September 2016. Ms. Campbell received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and a master’s degree in business administration from Georgia State University. Ms. Campbell brings to our Board extensive operational experience, expertise in strategic planning, and keen insights in identifying and capturing new business opportunities.

In connection with her election to the Board, Ms. Campbell will receive a one-time grant of restricted stock units in the amount of $1,000,000, one-fourth of which will vest on April 15, 2020 and the balance of which will vest in equal quarterly installments over the following twelve quarters, assuming continuous service through the applicable vesting dates. Ms. Campbell has entered into Workday’s customary indemnification agreement for its directors. Ms. Campbell has not yet been named to serve on any committee of the Board, and there are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Campbell and any other persons pursuant to which she was elected as a director.

Ms. Campbell is currently the Executive Vice President – U.S. Stores at The Home Depot. The Home Depot is a customer of Workday and made payments to Workday of $16,290,866 during our fiscal year ended January 31, 2019. These transactions were based on arms-length agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business.
