(e) On September 2, 2026, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Salesforce, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Salesforce, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which executive officers and other eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation. The Company's obligations under the Plan are general unsecured and unfunded obligations to pay deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The amount of compensation deferred by each Plan participant is determined in accordance with the Plan based upon participant elections. A participant may elect to defer up to a maximum of 75% of base salary and up to 90% of any annual performance bonus. Participants may make individual investment elections for their Plan accounts from one or more notional investment options designated by the Plan administrator. There is no employer match or similar contribution under the Plan; however, the Company may make discretionary contributions from time to time. A participant may elect to receive distributions from his or her account under the Plan in lump sum or installment payments. The timing of payment will depend on the participant’s applicable distribution election, including elections made with respect to separation from service or payment on specified dates. The Company may establish and contribute to a rabbi trust to assist in paying benefits under the Plan; any trust assets will remain subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors in the event of insolvency. The Plan is generally administered by the Committee, which has the power to make, amend, interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, to construe and resolve all questions arising under the Plan, and otherwise to carry out the terms of the Plan. The Company may terminate the Plan at any time and, by action of the Committee, may amend the Plan from time to time, provided, that no such amendment may reduce the accrued value of a participant’s account under the Plan in existence as of such amendment. The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to its next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
