What is the main purpose of these Amended and Restated Bylaws?

The primary purpose of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is to ensure AppLovin's governance documents are in compliance with recent changes in Delaware corporate law and to address new SEC regulations, specifically the universal proxy rules, which affect how stockholders can nominate directors.

How do these changes affect stockholders who want to nominate directors or submit proposals?

Stockholders will face enhanced procedural mechanics and disclosure requirements when nominating directors or submitting proposals for business at annual meetings. This includes providing additional background information and disclosures about proposing stockholders, nominees, and any related solicitations.

Are there any changes to the company's indemnification or insurance policies?

Yes, the Amended Bylaws include updated provisions regarding the purchase and maintenance of insurance on behalf of directors, officers, employees, or agents, as well as updated provisions concerning indemnification for these individuals.

What does it mean that the Bylaws clarify exclusive forum provisions?

This means the company has made clearer statements within its governing documents about which specific Delaware state courts will serve as the exclusive venue for certain legal actions involving the company and its stockholders, which can streamline litigation and reduce uncertainty.
