Election of Directors

8 FOR
✓ FOR
Steven Huffman

Reddit's 3-year price return of 203.3% outperforms the peer group median by +182.3 percentage points, far exceeding the 50-point threshold required to trigger an against vote; no overboarding, attendance, independence, or other flags apply.

✓ FOR
Sarah Farrell

Joined the board in May 2024 (less than 24 months ago), so she is exempt from the stock performance trigger under policy; no other flags identified.

✓ FOR
Patricia Fili-Krushel

Reddit's strong 3-year outperformance versus peers (+182.3pp) means the TSR trigger does not apply; she attended at least 75% of meetings and holds no disqualifying outside positions.

✓ FOR
Porter Gale

Reddit's 3-year stock performance is well above the peer group median and the ETF fallback benchmark (XLC), so no TSR trigger fires; no attendance, overboarding, or independence concerns identified.

✓ FOR
David Habiger

Reddit's 3-year outperformance versus peers is +182.3pp, far above the 50pp trigger threshold; Mr. Habiger holds seats at Boston Scientific, EnerSys, and Xperi in addition to Reddit, totaling four public company boards — this is at the overboarding threshold (policy triggers at 4 or more), however the filing lists him as serving on the Chicago Federal Reserve Board (not a public company board) and three public company boards, so the overboarding rule is not triggered; no other flags apply.

✓ FOR
Steven O. Newhouse

Joined the board in March 2024 (approximately 26 months ago, just over the 24-month exemption window), but Reddit's 3-year TSR outperforms peers by +182.3pp — far above the 50pp trigger threshold — so no TSR concern applies; no other flags identified.

✓ FOR
Robert A. Sauerberg Jr.

Reddit's 3-year stock return of 203.3% outperforms the peer group median by +182.3 percentage points, well above the threshold needed to trigger an against vote; no attendance, overboarding, or independence concerns apply.

✓ FOR
Michael Seibel

Reddit's exceptional stock performance versus peers means the TSR trigger does not apply; Mr. Seibel serves on Dropbox's board in addition to Reddit, which is only two public boards — well within policy limits.

All eight director nominees receive a FOR vote. Reddit's 3-year price return of 203.3% outperforms the disclosed compensation peer group median by +182.3 percentage points and the XLC sector ETF by +92.8 percentage points, both far above the thresholds that would trigger concern. Sarah Farrell joined in May 2024 and is within the 24-month new-director exemption window. All directors met the 75% meeting attendance threshold in 2025, and no overboarding, independence, or familial relationship issues were identified.

Say on Pay

✓ FOR

CEO

Steven L. Huffman

Total Comp

$3,101,009

Prior Support

N/A

CEO Steven Huffman's total reported compensation for 2025 was $3,101,009, which is modest for the CEO of a $29 billion company in the Communication Services sector — well within benchmark expectations for this title, sector, and market cap band. The pay mix is heavily variable: his fixed base salary of $569,250 is only about 18% of total compensation, with the remainder coming from a performance-based cash bonus of $1,405,478 (paid out at 165% of target based on DAUq, revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA results that significantly exceeded targets) and other compensation. Reddit's 3-year total shareholder return of 203.3% substantially outperforms the peer group median, confirming that above-target incentive pay is fully aligned with shareholder outcomes. The company has a compensation clawback policy in place, and no prior say-on-pay vote history was available to check for prior shareholder dissent.

Auditor Ratification

✓ FOR

Auditor

KPMG LLP

Tenure

7 yrs

Audit Fees

$2,189

Non-Audit Fees

$28

KPMG's non-audit fees (tax fees of $28,000) represent approximately 1.3% of audit fees ($2,189,000) in 2025 — well below the 50% threshold that would raise independence concerns. KPMG has served as Reddit's auditor since 2019 (about 7 years), far below the 25-year tenure threshold. KPMG is a Big 4 firm appropriate for a company of Reddit's size and complexity, and no material financial restatements were disclosed.

Overall Assessment

Reddit's 2026 annual meeting features three standard proposals: director elections, auditor ratification, and an advisory say-on-pay vote. All eight directors receive a FOR vote driven by Reddit's exceptional stock performance (up 203% over three years, far outpacing its peer group), and both the auditor and executive compensation program pass all key policy screens — KPMG's non-audit fees are minimal, CEO pay is modest relative to company size, and incentive pay is well-aligned with strong shareholder returns.
