Frequently Asked Questions

Amendment No. 8 extends the maturity date of AppLovin's revolving credit commitments to June 12, 2028, providing longer-term access to these funds. It also increases the total revolving credit commitments by $10.0 million to $610.0 million, enhancing the company's liquidity and financial flexibility.

The annual meeting resulted in the election of all director nominees, the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent auditor for FY2023, and advisory approval of executive compensation. Stockholders also voted to have advisory votes on executive compensation occur every three years.

While the credit facility was increased, this amendment primarily relates to extending the maturity and increasing the available revolving credit. It provides AppLovin with greater financial flexibility and capacity for potential future needs, rather than necessarily indicating an immediate need for substantial new debt or funding for current operations.

The advisory vote on the frequency of executive compensation votes means that AppLovin will now hold these non-binding advisory votes every three years, as opposed to annually or every two years. This aligns with the board's recommendation and indicates a preference for less frequent, but still advisory, input from shareholders on executive pay.
