Insider Trading Arrangements
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, certain of our directors or officers (as defined in Section 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) adopted , modified, or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K (each, a “Sales Plan”), as set forth in the table below.
Each Sales Plan included a representation from the director or officer to the broker administering the plan that the director or officer was not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding Upwork or the Upwork securities subject to the Sales Plan. A similar representation was made to us in connection with the adoption of each Sales Plan under our Insider Trading Policy. Those representations were made as of the date of adoption or modification of each Sales Plan and speak only as of that date. In making those representations, there is no assurance with respect to any material nonpublic information of which the director or officer was unaware, or with respect to any material nonpublic information acquired by the director, officer, or us after the date of the representation.
