Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Five9 said Amit Mathradas will become chief executive effective February 2, 2026. Current CEO Michael Burkland stays in the role until then, after which he will remain chairman and a director through the 2026 annual meeting, then provide consulting services for one year.

Key points

  • Amit Mathradas becomes CEO effective February 2, 2026.
  • Burkland keeps his $585,000 annual base salary, prorated for the time he remains CEO, and stays eligible for 2025 and 2026 bonus programs.
  • Burkland will not stand for re-election at the 2026 Annual Meeting; the board intends to appoint an independent chairman by that date.
  • Burkland will receive no new equity awards during his transition roles; existing RSUs and PRSUs continue to vest under their terms.
