OUR SKILLS, EXPERIENCE AND ATTRIBUTES
Board Composition Highlights
The charts below set forth, as of October 26, 2023, information relating to the gender, tenure, ethnicity and ages of our Board. While the Board does not have a formal policy on diversity, we are committed to comprising our Board of individuals with diverse skills, experience and backgrounds, including diversity with respect to age, gender, national origin and race, which we believe facilitates the optimal functioning of the Board.
Among the twelve members of our Board, five self-identify as women and two self-identify as individuals from an underrepresented community (meaning, an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identifies as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Director Skills and Experience
Our Board brings broad and deep experience to Company matters, and each individual director contributes a range of complementary skills that enhance the Board’s ability to exercise its oversight responsibilities on behalf of our stockholders. To better understand our Board’s composition and strengths, the following table represents certain of the skills and areas of expertise that we believe are most critical to the strategy and future success of our Company, and assigns the “top three” such skills for each member of our Board:
graphic

The above table does not purport to include all of the skills, experiences or qualifications that each director offers, and the fact that a particular skill is not listed for a director does not mean that the director does not possess it. Additionally, all of our directors possess integrity, sound judgment and a track record of professional success.
Independence of Directors
The listing rules of the NYSE generally require that a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors be independent. In addition, the listing rules generally require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent.
In addition, audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors or any other board committee: accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Board conducts an annual review of the independence of our directors. In its most recent review, our Board determined that each of Aida Alvarez, Steven Cakebread, Steve Fisher, David Hornik, Brian Jacobs, Peter Kight, Allie Kline, Allison Mnookin, Tina Reich, Scott Wagner, and Alison Wagonfeld, representing 11 of our 12 directors, are “independent directors” as defined under the applicable listing standards of the NYSE and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Our Board has also determined that all members of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent and satisfy the relevant SEC and NYSE independence requirements for such committees.
There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers and any of our other directors or executive officers.
HOW WE ARE SELECTED AND ELECTED
Nomination to the Board of Directors
Candidates for nomination to our Board are selected by our Board based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with the committee’s charter, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (our Charter) and second amended and restated bylaws (our Bylaws), our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the criteria approved by our Board regarding director candidate qualifications. In recommending candidates for nomination, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates recommended by directors, officers, employees, stockholders and others, using the same criteria to evaluate all candidates. Evaluations of candidates generally involve a review of background materials, internal discussions and interviews with selected candidates as appropriate and, in addition, the committee may engage consultants or third-party search firms to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees.
Stockholders wishing to recommend candidates for consideration by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee should submit their recommendations to the attention of the Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive offices. Information regarding the process for submitting stockholder nominations for candidates for membership on our Board is set forth below under “Stockholder Proposals to Be Presented at the Next Annual Meeting.”
Director Qualifications
With the goal of cultivating a diverse, experienced and highly-qualified board of directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing and recommending to our Board the desired qualifications, expertise and characteristics of members of our Board, including any specific minimum qualifications that the committee believes must be met by a committee-recommended nominee for membership on our Board and any specific qualities or skills that the committee believes are necessary for one or more of the members of our Board to possess.
Because the identification, evaluation and selection of qualified directors is a complex and nuanced process that requires consideration of many intangible factors, and will be significantly influenced by the particular needs of our Board from time to time, our Board has not adopted a specific set of minimum qualifications, qualities or skills that are necessary for a nominee to possess, other than those that are necessary to meet U.S. legal, regulatory and NYSE listing requirements and the provisions of our Charter, Bylaws, Corporate Governance Guidelines and charters of the committees of our Board. In addition, neither our Board nor our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees. When considering nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into consideration many factors including, among other things, a candidate’s independence, integrity, diversity, skills, financial, risk management and other expertise, breadth of experience, knowledge about our business or industry and ability to devote adequate time and effort to the responsibilities of our Board in the context of its existing composition. Through the nomination process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to promote board membership that reflects a diversity of business experience, expertise, viewpoints, personal backgrounds and other characteristics that are expected to contribute to our Board’s overall effectiveness. The brief biographical description of each director set forth in “Our Board of Directors—Who We Are—Director Nominees and —Continuing Directors” above includes the primary individual experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each of our directors that led to the conclusion that each director should serve as a member of our Board at this time.

Governance Evolution
We completed our initial public offering in December 2019, and our corporate governance profile, which contains certain protections against opportunistic acquirers, is generally consistent with that of many other newly-public technology companies. That said, we are mindful of stockholder perspectives on these issues.
In Fall 2021, Fall 2022, and Fall 2023, ahead of each of our annual meetings, members of our Board and management team undertook extensive outreach efforts to gather stockholder feedback, identify possible areas of focus and inform the Board’s future decisions (see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Summary—Stockholder Engagement”). A consistent theme across this engagement has been that while many of our stockholders accept our current corporate governance profile and recognize that there are some circumstances in which certain governance features may be beneficial, they also expect our governance profile to evolve over time.
With that in mind, following the 2023 Annual Meeting, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee intends to conduct a comprehensive review of our governing documents and develop a long-term plan to evolve our governance structure. Consistent with stockholder feedback, we intend to sunset certain of our protective provisions and give stockholders greater ability to influence our governance directly. We expect to seek to phase in these changes over the coming years.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that set forth expectations for directors, director independence standards, Board committee structure and functions, and other policies for the governance of our Company. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews the Corporate Governance Guidelines, and recommends changes to our Board as warranted. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines mandate, and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually conducts, a thorough Board and Board committee self-assessment process.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the “Investor Relations” section of our website, which is located at investor.bill.com, by clicking “Governance Documents” in the “Governance” section of our website.
Board Leadership Structure
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Board shall be free to choose its chairperson in any way that it considers in the best interests of our Company, and that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically considers the leadership structure of our Board and makes such recommendations to our Board with respect thereto as appropriate. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that, when the positions of chairperson and chief executive officer are held by the same person, the independent directors may designate a “lead independent director.” In cases in which the chairperson and chief executive officer are the same person and a lead independent director has been designated, the chairperson schedules and sets the agenda for meetings of our Board in consultation with the lead independent director, and the chairperson, or if the chairperson is not present, the lead independent director, chairs such meetings. The responsibilities of the lead independent director include:
Calling meetings of the independent directors;
Presiding at executive sessions of independent directors;
Serving as a liaison between the chairperson and the independent directors;
Consulting with management regarding agendas for Board meetings;
Disseminating information to our Board;
Being available under appropriate circumstances for communication with stockholders; and
Performing such other functions and responsibilities as requested by our Board from time to time.
In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, we have a lead independent director of the Board separate from our chairperson. Mr. Lacerte is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Kight is the lead independent director of the Board. The Board believes that this leadership structure reflects the role and responsibilities of the chief executive officer in our business and operations as well as the significant involvement and authority vested in a separate lead independent director of the Board. The Board retains the authority to modify this structure as it deems appropriate.
Our Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Oversight
While the full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, the committees of our Board oversee and review specific risk areas. The risk oversight responsibility of our Board and its committees is supported by our management reporting processes, which are designed to provide visibility to our Board and to our personnel that are responsible for risk assessment and information about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management’s risk mitigation strategies. These areas of focus include competitive, economic, operational, financial (accounting, credit, investment, liquidity, interest rate, foreign exchange and tax), legal, regulatory, compensation, cybersecurity, privacy, payments, compliance and reputational risks. Our Board reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of discussions, question and answer sessions, and reports from the management team at each regular Board meeting, receives reports on all significant committee activities at each regular Board meeting, and evaluates the risks inherent in significant transactions.
In 2023, our Board undertook an internal review and determined to reorganize its allocation of risk management responsibilities, deciding to disband its incumbent Risk and Compliance Committee and to establish: (i) a new Board
17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

committee focused on cybersecurity matters, which the Board determined to be sufficiently distinct and critical to warrant separate treatment; and (ii) a new subcommittee of the Audit Committee focused on the specific compliance and payments operations risks inherent to our business due to the large volume of payments we process, which exceeded $250 billion in fiscal 2023.
Each committee of our Board meets with key management personnel and representatives of outside advisors, as appropriate, to oversee risks associated with their respective principal areas of focus. Our Audit Committee reviews our major financial and other risk exposures, our internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures, legal and regulatory compliance, and, among other things, discusses with management and our independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. Our Compensation Committee evaluates our major compensation-related risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor or mitigate such exposures. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses risks relating to our corporate governance practices, the independence of our Board and reviews and discusses the narrative disclosure regarding our Board’s leadership structure and role in risk oversight. Our Cybersecurity Committee, with quarterly briefings from management, oversees cybersecurity and data protection activities to ensure that we are actively and appropriately protecting our data as well as that of our employees, customers and suppliers and that we are meeting data protection compliance requirements. Finally, our Compliance and Payments Operations Risk Subcommittee assists our Audit Committee and Board in its oversight and monitoring of the Company’s management of systems and operational risk related to customer payments and related money-movement business operations and regulatory compliance.
We believe this Board leadership structure and division of responsibilities enables us and our Board to effectively address the risks we face as our business continues to grow in scale and complexity.
Committees of Our Board of Directors
Our Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Cybersecurity Committee. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Each of these committees has a written charter approved by our Board. Copies of the charters for each Board-level committee are available on the “Investor Relations” section of our website, which is located at investor.bill.com, by clicking on “Governance Documents” in the “Governance” section of our website.
Audit Committee
Our Audit Committee is composed of Mr. Cakebread, who is the chair of the committee, Ms. Kline, and Ms. Reich. Each member of our Audit Committee is independent under the current NYSE Listing Standards and SEC rules and regulations. Each member of our Audit Committee is financially literate as required by the current NYSE Listing Standards. In addition, our Board has determined that Mr. Cakebread is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in SEC rules and regulations. This designation does not impose any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than those generally imposed on members of our Audit Committee and our Board. Our Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:
Selecting a firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements;
Ensuring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;
Discussing the scope and results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing, with management and that firm, our interim and year-end operating results;
Establishing procedures for employees to anonymously submit concerns about questionable accounting or audit matters;
Considering the adequacy of our internal controls and internal audit function;
Reviewing related-party transactions that are material or otherwise implicate disclosure requirements; and
Approving or, as permitted, pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.
18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, as discussed above, in 2023 we established a subcommittee of our Audit Committee focused on compliance and payments operations risks, consisting of Ms. Reich, who is the chair of the subcommittee, and Ms. Mnookin, two of our independent directors. This subcommittee is responsible for, among other things:
Overseeing our risk program related to customer payments and related money-movement business operations;
Reviewing our compliance with money transmission and related laws and regulations and banking system, bank partner and payment network rules and requirements; and
Discussing with management reports and inquiries from regulatory or governmental agencies and any material incidents, reports, programs and initiatives.
Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee is composed of Mr. Wagner, who is the chair of the committee, Mr. Jacobs, Ms. Mnookin, and Ms. Wagonfeld. Each member of our Compensation Committee is independent under the current NYSE Listing Standards. Each member of this committee is a non-employee director, as defined in SEC rules and regulations. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:
Reviewing and approving, or recommending that our Board approve, the compensation of our executive officers;
Reviewing and recommending to our Board the compensation of our directors;
Reviewing and approving, or making recommendations to our Board with respect to, incentive compensation and equity plans;
Reviewing our diversity and inclusion-related practices, programs and initiatives;
Reviewing with management our major compensation-related risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor or mitigate such risks; and
Establishing our overall compensation philosophy.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of Ms. Kline, who is the chair of the committee, Ms. Alvarez, Mr. Hornik, and Mr. Kight. Each member of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is independent under the current NYSE Listing Standards. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things:
Identifying and recommending candidates for membership on our Board;
Recommending directors to serve on Board committees;
Reviewing and recommending to our Board any changes to our corporate governance principles;
Reviewing proposed waivers of the code of conduct for directors and executive officers;
Overseeing the process of evaluating the performance of our Board;
Overseeing our ESG goals and objectives, strategy, practices and disclosures, in consultation with other committees of the Board; and
Advising our Board on corporate governance matters.
Cybersecurity Committee
Our Cybersecurity Committee is composed of Mr. Fisher, who is the chair of the committee, Mr. Kight, and Ms. Reich, each of whom is an independent director under applicable rules. Our Cybersecurity Committee is responsible for, among other things:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Overseeing our cybersecurity strategy and technology planning processes in light of the threat landscape facing us and our products, services and operations, including regularly reviewing the results of cybersecurity threat exercises;
Receiving quarterly updates from members of our Executive Security Risk Management Committee, which is comprised of senior members (VP-level or above) of our engineering, legal and compliance, people, operations, risk management, marketing, finance and product departments;
Overseeing our compliance with applicable information security and data protection laws and industry standards; and
Reviewing our privacy and data governance programs.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The members of our Compensation Committee during fiscal 2023 were Mr. Wagner, Mr. Jacobs, Ms. Mnookin, and Ms. Wagonfeld. None of the members of our Compensation Committee in fiscal 2023 was at any time an officer or employee of ours or any of our subsidiaries, and none had or have any relationships with us that are required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. During fiscal 2023, none of our executive officers served as a member of the board of directors, or as a member of the compensation or similar committee, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who served on our Board or Compensation Committee.
Board and Committee Meetings and Attendance
Our Board and its committees meet regularly throughout the year, and also hold special meetings and act by written consent from time to time. During fiscal 2023, our Board met six times and also acted by unanimous written consent. During fiscal 2023, each member of our Board attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of our Board and of all meetings of committees of our Board on which such member served that were held during the period in which such director served. The non-employee directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions without management to promote open and honest discussion. During fiscal 2023, our Audit Committee met eight times, our Compensation Committee met seven times, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met four times, and our Cybersecurity Committee met one time. In addition, prior to our reorganization of Board committees, our incumbent Risk and Compliance Committee met three times. Finally, our policy is to invite and encourage each member of our Board to be present at our annual meetings of stockholders. All but three members of our Board attended our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders in their capacity as directors of our Company.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all the members of our Board, officers and employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on the “Investor Relations” section of our website, which is located at investor.bill.com under “Governance Documents” in the “Governance” section of our website. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under applicable SEC and NYSE disclosure requirements regarding amendments to, or waivers of, a provision of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by posting such information on our website at the address and location specified above.
HOW WE COMMUNICATE WITH AND LISTEN TO YOU
We believe that effective corporate governance includes year-round engagement with our stockholders and other stakeholders. We meet regularly with our stockholders to discuss business strategy, performance, compensation philosophy, corporate governance, and environmental and social topics. We engage with many of our large stockholders multiple times a year, both on an ad hoc basis and regularly in conjunction with our quarterly earnings announcements. Our Investor Relations team also has hundreds of touchpoints with smaller stockholders each year. We find it beneficial to have ongoing dialogue with our stockholders throughout the year on a full range of topics (instead of engaging with stockholders only prior to our annual meeting on issues to be voted on in the proxy statement).
20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our direct engagement with stockholders helps us better understand our stockholders’ priorities, perspectives, and issues of concern, allows us to elaborate on our many initiatives and practices, and informs the Board’s deliberations. We take insights from this feedback into consideration and regularly share them with our Board as we review and evolve our practices and disclosures.
Our Board has created a number of other ways for stockholders and other stakeholders to provide input including:
Attending the Annual Meeting and submitting questions to be addressed during the meeting;
Attending quarterly earnings calls, investor conferences and other similar opportunities;
Calling our company number, 1-650-621-7700;
Sending an email to an individual director, a committee, or the full Board at corpsec@ir.bill.com;
Mailing a letter to us at 6220 America Center Drive, Suite 100, San Jose, California 95002, Attn: Corporate Secretary; or
Requesting a stockholder engagement meeting via one of the means outlined here.
All communications are reviewed by the Corporate Secretary and provided to the Board or any individual director or committee of the Board, as appropriate.
HOW WE ARE PAID
Fiscal 2023 Director Compensation
Annually, the Compensation Committee evaluates the Company’s non-employee director compensation design, competitiveness, and effectiveness, to help ensure the program continues to facilitate the attraction and retention of highly qualified Board members. During fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee engaged Compensia, Inc. (Compensia) as our independent compensation consultant to review the competitiveness of our non-employee director compensation program relative to industry peers and other comparably-sized companies and provide recommendations as deemed appropriate. The industry peer groups used in these periodic market studies are the same ones used to assess pay competitiveness for our named executive officers. For fiscal 2023, based on this analysis of our program as compared to our industry peers, Compensia did not recommend any changes to our existing non-employee director compensation program, but did recommend the compensation for our new Compliance and Payment Operations Risks Subcommittee and our new Cybersecurity Committee. Taking Compensia’s analysis into consideration, our Compensation Committee and Board reviewed our non-employee director compensation policy in February 2023 and determined to make no changes for fiscal 2023; however, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, the compensation for our new Compliance and Payment Operations Risks Subcommittee and our new Cybersecurity Committee described below.
The following table provides information regarding all fiscal 2023 compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to each person who served as a director for some portion or all of fiscal 2023, other than Mr. Lacerte, our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Lacerte is not included in the table below, as he is also our employee and receives no additional compensation for his service as a director. The compensation received by Mr. Lacerte as an employee is shown in “Executive Compensation—Fiscal 2023 Summary Compensation Table” below.

Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation
Under our current compensation practices, our non-employee directors receive equity compensation for their service as directors, which we believe reinforces alignment with our stockholders and is consistent with our overall compensation philosophy. Each non-employee director is entitled to receive RSUs under our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2019 Plan), as described below. The policy and amounts described below are those that were in effect during fiscal year 2023.
Each new non-employee director appointed to the Board will be granted RSUs covering shares with a value equal to approximately $400,000 (the Initial Award), which will be granted on the date of the non-employee director’s appointment to the Board (the Initial Award Grant Date). The Initial Award will vest in three equal annual installments on the anniversary of the Initial Award Grant Date, subject to continued service on each applicable vesting date.
On the date of each annual meeting of our stockholders, each continuing non-employee director will be granted RSUs covering shares with a value equal to approximately $200,000 (the Annual Award), prorated for non-employee directors who join between annual meetings of the Company’s stockholders. The Annual Award will vest on the earlier of (a) the date of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and (b) the date that is one year following the grant date of such Annual Award, subject to continued service on each applicable vesting date.
In fiscal 2020, and prior to the consummation of our initial public offering and adoption by the Board of our non-employee director equity compensation policy, we granted to each of Mr. Cakebread, Mr. Kight, and Ms. Mnookin nonstatutory stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock, that vested at a rate of one-third annually on the first three anniversaries of their 2019 vesting start dates.

Stock Ownership Guidelines
In October 2021, in response to stockholder feedback and evolving best practices, we adopted a stock ownership policy for our non-employee directors. Our stock ownership policy requires our non-employee directors to acquire and hold a number of shares of our Company’s common stock equal in value to five times the director’s annual cash retainer for regular service on the Board until such director’s service on the Board ceases. We only count directly and beneficially owned shares, including shares underlying vested RSUs that are held or deferred and shares received on exercise of stock options and shares held in trust. Each non-employee director has until the last day of our fiscal year that includes the fifth anniversary of the later of his or her initial appointment to the Board or from the effective date of the policy to attain the required ownership level. The Compensation Committee may make exceptions in situations where the stock ownership policy would cause a severe hardship. As of June 30, 2023, all of our incumbent non-employee directors have either achieved the recommended ownership level or are expected to achieve the recommended ownership level within five years of their initial election or appointment to our Board.
Executive Death, Disability, and Retirement Policy
In May 2022, we adopted an equity vesting policy for executive death, disability, and retirement for senior-level employees. This policy provides for the acceleration of outstanding equity awards for long-tenured employees in connection with such a person's death or disability while employed by us, as well as, under certain circumstances, continued vesting of outstanding equity awards in connection with a qualifying employee’s retirement and provision of continued advisory services to us.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Through an equitable approach to hiring, compensation, and career growth, we have built a company that fosters inclusivity, authenticity, and action. We seek to embed a sense of inclusion and social responsibility into our culture and how we serve the businesses using our solutions. Our Vice President of DEI is building a strategy that helps us accelerate our progress across four key pillars:
Cultivating a respectful and accessible workplace where every employee feels they belong;
Increasing diverse representation at all levels and functions of the company;
Supporting our diverse customers’ needs through our products and services; and
Engaging with our communities to promote diverse businesses and entrepreneurs.
One of the ways we strengthen our workplace culture of DEI is by supporting employee resource groups (ERGs). ERGs are self-organized communities that bring employees together to raise awareness and belonging for under-represented groups. Through a grassroots effort, BILL employees have established seven ERGs focused upon the following dimensions of identity: women, Latinx, Black, LGBTQIA+, disabilities and mental health, veterans, and Pan Asian and Pacific Islanders. These ERGs, which are open to all employees, have established strong employee mentorship programs to support the career development of their members.
We also offer employees learning opportunities to increase awareness of DEI issues. Unconscious bias training is available through our e-learning platform, we regularly host speakers from diverse backgrounds to share their lived experiences, and our ERGs host safe-space discussions on issues important to their members. We also lead by example, with a diverse leadership team, including three women and one officer from an underrepresented community (44% of our leadership team).
We partner with organizations like Codepath.org and ColorStack to support Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students interested in technical careers. Through Codepath’s Internship Connection Program, we have placed underrepresented students majoring in computer science into technical internships at BILL. Last year, we also

The program is designed to strengthen, energize, and support startups and small businesses led by Black entrepreneurs in the U.S. In the last two years, 28 entrepreneurs with impact-oriented solutions at the local and national level of benefits that are comparable to those offered by similar companies.
Employee Wellness/COVID-19 Response
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we instituted several programs and precautionary measures in support of employee well-being and to protect the health and safety of our workforce, our customers and the communities in which we participate. For example, in March 2020, we closed our corporate headquarters in California and our office in Texas, implemented full-time workacross multiple sectors graduated from home for our entire workforce and eliminated non-essential travel. We regularly surveyed our team members through our employee survey tool to best understand their needs. Based on survey results, we established no-meetings Wednesday afternoons, instituted a remote work program, provided several wellness days, gave employees a home office stipend, provided additional mental health resources, and options for social connections and vaccination support. We continue to monitor federal, state and local regulatory pronouncements and COVID-19 infection statistics and have begun to reopen our offices in phases, depending on location. In connection with our office re-openings we have instituted numerous social distancing measures to ensure the safety of our employees. As of June 30, 2022, a significant number of our employees continued to work in a remote capacity.ABLE.
Security, Privacy, and Data Protection

Keeping our customers’ data safe and secure is a high priority. Our approach to security includes data governance as well as ongoing testing for potential security issues.
We have robust access controls in our production environment with access to data strictly assigned, monitored, and audited. To ensure our controls remain up-to-date, we undergo continuous external testing for vulnerabilities within our software architecture. These efforts have enabled us to certify our platform to SOC1 Type II, SOC2 Type II, and SOC3 standards. Our security program is aligned to the NIST-800-53 standards and is regularly audited and assessed by third parties as well as our partners.
The focus of our program is working to prevent unauthorized access to the data of our customers and network members. To this end, our team of security practitioners work to identify and mitigate risks, implement best practices, and continue to evaluate ways to improve.
These steps include close attention toregularly examining network security, classifying and inventorying data, limiting and authorizing access controls, and implementing multifactor authentication for access to systems. We also employ regular eight system monitoring, logging, and alerting to retain and analyze the security state of our corporate and production infrastructures. Finally, we maintain a robust internal information security program, with required trainings for all new hires and periodic reminders and mandatory training updates.
We take steps to help ensure that our security measures are maintained by the third-party suppliers we use, including conducting annual security reviews and audits.

For ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder for any purpose relating to the Annual Meeting by written request via email to our Corporate Secretary at corpsec@hq.bill.com. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will also be available for examination on the Internet through the virtual web conference during the Annual Meeting.
The holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This presence is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you are present and vote at the Annual Meeting or if you have properly submitted a proxy.
Voting Rights; Required Vote
In deciding all matters at the Annual Meeting, as of the close of business on the Record Date, each share of common stock represents one vote. We do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors. You may vote all shares owned by you as of the Record Date, including (1) shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record and (2) shares held for you as the beneficial owner in street name through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., then you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a stockholder of record, you may vote at the Annual Meeting or vote by telephone, through the Internet or, if you request or receive paper proxy materials, by filling out and returning the proxy card. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held as of the Record Date.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Nominee. If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account with a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of the shares held in street name. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account, and your nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing it on how to vote your shares. However, the organization that holds your shares is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. Because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from the organization that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.
Each director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, which means that the four nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. You may vote “FOR ALL NOMINEES,” “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY FOR ALL NOMINEES” or vote “FOR ALL EXCEPT” one or any of the nominees you specify. Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2023 will be obtained if the number of votes cast “FOR” the proposal at the Annual Meeting exceeds the number of votes “AGAINST” the proposal. Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation paid by us to our Named Executive Officers (as defined herein) as disclosed in this Proxy Statement will be obtained if the number of votes cast “FOR” the proposal at the Annual Meeting exceeds the number of votes “AGAINST” the proposal.
Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted either because (i) the broker did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner or (ii) the broker lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “routine” matters without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. Absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “non-routine” matters. At our Annual Meeting, only the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2023 is considered a routine matter. The proposal for the election of directors and any other proposals presented at the Annual Meeting are non-routine matters. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, and have no effect on the outcome of the matters voted upon. Accordingly, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.
Recommendations of Our Board of Directors on Each of the Proposals Scheduled to be Voted on at the Annual Meeting
Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR ALL NOMINEES” of the Class III directors named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 1), “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2023 (Proposal No. 2), and “FOR” the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 3). None of our directors or executive officers has any substantial interest in any matter to be acted upon, other than the nominated directors’ interests in the elections to office under Proposal No. 1, and the Named Executive Officers’ (René Lacerte, John Rettig, Bora Chung, Thomas Clayton, Mark Lenhard, and Blake Murray) interests with respect to Proposal No. 3.

Voting Instructions; Voting of Proxies
If you are a stockholder of record, you may:
vote via the virtual meeting website—any stockholder can attend the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BILL2022, where stockholders may vote and submit questions during the meeting. The meeting starts at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. To be admitted to the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BILL2022, you must enter the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card or other proxy materials. If you do not have a control number, please contact the brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization that holds your account as soon as possible so that you can be provided with a control number. Instructions on how to attend and participate via the Internet are posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BILL2022. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions or vote by telephone or the Internet so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting;
vote by telephone or through the Internet—in order to do so, please follow the instructions shown on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card. Most stockholders who hold shares beneficially in street name may provide voting instructions by accessing the website specified on the voting instruction form provided by their brokers, banks or nominees. Please check the voting instruction form for Internet voting availability. Please be aware that if you vote over the Internet, you may incur costs such as Internet access charges for which you will be responsible; or
vote by mail—if you request or receive a paper proxy card and voting instructions by mail, complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and promptly return it in the prepaid envelope provided. Your signed and dated proxy card must be received by the day prior to the Annual Meeting in order to be voted.
Votes submitted by telephone or through the Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 7, 2022. Submitting your proxy whether by telephone, through the Internet or, if you request or receive a paper proxy card, by mail will not affect your right to vote should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting. If you are not the stockholder of record, please refer to the voting instructions provided by your nominee to direct your nominee on how to vote your shares. Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure that your vote is counted.
All proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified. If you sign a physical proxy card and return it without instructions as to how your shares should be voted on a particular proposal at the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors stated above.
If you do not vote and you hold your shares in street name, and your broker does not have discretionary power to vote your shares, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes” (as described above) and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval of the proposals. However, shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum for the Annual Meeting.
If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. To make certain all of your shares are voted, please follow the instructions included on each proxy card and vote each proxy card by telephone, through the Internet or by mail. If you requested or received paper proxy materials and you intend to vote by mail, please complete, sign and return each proxy card you received to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
Expenses of Soliciting Proxies
We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies, including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy and any other information furnished to stockholders. Following the original mailing of the soliciting materials, we and our agents, including directors, officers and other employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies by mail, email, telephone, facsimile, by other similar means or in person. Following the original mailing of the soliciting materials, we will request brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders to forward copies of the soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, we, upon the request of the record holders, will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. If you choose to access the proxy materials or vote through the Internet, you are responsible for any Internet access charges you may incur.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Revocability of Proxies
A stockholder of record who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by:
delivering to our Corporate Secretary by mail a written notice stating that the proxy is revoked;
signing and delivering a proxy bearing a later date;
voting again by telephone or through the Internet; or
attending and voting at the Annual Meeting (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).
Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to revoke a proxy, you must contact that firm to revoke any prior voting instructions.
Voting Results
Voting results will be tabulated and certified by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting. The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final results will be tallied by the inspector of elections and filed with the SEC in a current report on Form 8-K within four business days of the Annual Meeting.
Participating in the Annual Meeting
To participate in the virtual meeting, visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BILL2022 and enter the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.
If you wish to submit a question during the Annual Meeting, log into the virtual meeting platform at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BILL2022, type your question into the “Ask a Question” field, and click “Submit.” If your question is properly submitted during the relevant portion of the meeting agenda, we will do our best to respond to your question during the live webcast. A webcast replay of the Annual Meeting, including the Q&A session, will also be archived on the “Investor Relations” section of our website, which is located at investor.bill.com.
If we experience technical difficulties during the meeting (e.g., a temporary or prolonged power outage), we will determine whether the meeting can be promptly reconvened (if the technical difficulty is temporary) or whether the meeting will need to be reconvened on a later day (if the technical difficulty is more prolonged). In either of these situations, we will promptly notify shareholders of the decision via www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BILL2022. If you encounter technical difficulties accessing our meeting or asking questions during the meeting, a support line will be available on the login page of the virtual meeting website.

The Board of Directors, including our Risk and Compliance Committee, focuses on broad risk oversight practices, including financial risk, cybersecurity, data privacy, corporate social responsibility, legal and regulatory matters, and other critical evolving areas
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that set forth expectations for directors, director independence standards, board committee structure and functions, and other policies for the governance of our company. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the “Investor Relations” section of our website, which is located at investor.bill.com, by clicking “Governance Documents” in the “Governance” section of our website. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews the Corporate Governance Guidelines, and recommends changes to our Board of Directors as warranted.
Board Leadership Structure
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Board of Directors shall be free to choose its chairperson in any way that it considers in the best interests of our Company, and that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically considers the leadership structure of our Board of Directors and makes such recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect thereto as appropriate. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that, when the positions of chairperson and chief executive officer are held by the same person, the independent directors may designate a “lead independent director.” In cases in which the chairperson
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and chief executive officer are the same person and a lead independent director has been designated, the chairperson schedules and sets the agenda for meetings of our Board of Directors in consultation with the lead independent director, and the chairperson, or if the chairperson is not present, the lead independent director, chairs such meetings. The responsibilities of the lead independent director include: calling meetings of the independent directors, presiding at executive sessions of independent directors, serving as a liaison between the chairperson and the independent directors, disseminating information to our Board of Directors, being available under appropriate circumstances for communication with stockholders, and performing such other functions and responsibilities as requested by our Board of Directors from time to time.
In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, we have a lead independent director of the Board of Directors separate from our chairperson. Mr. Lacerte is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Kight is the lead independent director of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes that this leadership structure reflects the role and responsibilities of the chief executive officer in our business and operations as well as the significant involvement and authority vested in a separate lead independent director of the board. The Board of Directors retains the authority to modify this structure as it deems appropriate.
Our Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board of Directors, as a whole, has responsibility for risk oversight, although the committees of our Board of Directors oversee and review risk areas that are particularly relevant to them. The risk oversight responsibility of our Board of Directors and its committees is supported by our management reporting processes, which are designed to provide visibility to our Board of Directors and to our personnel that are responsible for risk assessment and information about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management’s risk mitigation strategies. These areas of focus include competitive, economic, operational, financial (accounting, credit, investment, liquidity and tax), legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, privacy, compliance and reputational risks. Our Board of Directors reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of discussions, question and answer sessions, and reports from the management team at each regular board meeting, receives reports on all significant committee activities at each regular board meeting, and evaluates the risks inherent in significant transactions. Our Audit Committee and our Risk and Compliance Committee assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management.
Each committee of our Board of Directors meets with key management personnel and representatives of outside advisors, as appropriate, to oversee risks associated with their respective principal areas of focus. Our Audit Committee reviews our major financial and other risk exposures, our internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures, legal and regulatory compliance, and, among other things, discusses with management and our independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. In addition, our Audit Committee, with input from management, oversees cybersecurity and data protection activities to ensure that we are actively and appropriately protecting our data as well as that of our employees, customers and suppliers and that we are meeting data protection compliance requirements. Our Compensation Committee evaluates our major compensation-related risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor or mitigate such exposures. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses risks relating to our corporate governance practices, the independence of our Board of Directors and reviews and discusses the narrative disclosure regarding our Board of Directors’ leadership structure and role in risk oversight. Our Risk and Compliance Committee assists our Board of Directors in its oversight and monitoring of the Company’s management of systems and operational risk related to customer payments and related money-movement business operations, management of information security and regulatory compliance. We believe this division of responsibilities is an effective approach for addressing the risks we face and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.
Independence of Directors
The listing rules of The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) generally require that a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors be independent. In addition, the listing rules generally require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent.
In addition, audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). In order to be considered independent for
17

purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors or any other board committee: accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.
Our Board of Directors conducts an annual review of the independence of our directors. In its most recent review, our Board of Directors determined that Aida Alvarez, Steven Cakebread, Steve Fisher, David Hornik, Brian Jacobs, Peter Kight, Allie Kline, Allison Mnookin, Rory O’Driscoll, Tina Reich, Scott Wagner and Alison Wagonfeld, representing 12 of our 13 directors, are “independent directors” as defined under the applicable listing standards of the NYSE and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangements
Our compensation arrangements for non-employee directors are reviewed periodically by our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors. In addition, at the Compensation Committee’s direction, Compensia, our independent compensation consultant, provided a competitive analysis of director compensation levels, practices and design features as compared to the general market as well as our compensation peer group. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors reviewed our non-employee director compensation policy in May 2022 and determined to increase amounts payable to our non-employees directors to the amounts described below.
Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation
Each new non-employee director appointed to the Board will be granted RSUs covering shares with a value equal to $400,000 (the Initial Award), which will be granted on the date of the non-employee director’s appointment to the Board of Directors (the Initial Award Grant Date). The Initial Award will vest in three equal annual installments on the anniversary of the Initial Award Grant Date, subject to continued service on each applicable vesting date.
On the date of each annual meeting of our stockholders, each continuing non-employee director will be granted RSUs under the Plan with a value equal to $200,000 (the Annual Award), prorated for non-employee directors who join between annual meetings of the Company’s stockholders. The Annual Award will vest on the earlier of (a) the date of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and (b) the date that is one year following the grant date of such Annual Award, subject to continued service on each applicable vesting date.
Non-Employee Director Cash Compensation
Each non-employee director receives annual cash compensation of $32,500 for service on the Board of Directors, and additional cash compensation for the chairperson and committee members as set forth below. All cash payments are made quarterly in arrears and are pro-rated for any partial quarters of service.
Lead Independent Director Fee: $17,500
Audit Committee Chair: $20,000
Audit Committee Member (Non-Chair): $10,000
Compensation Committee Chair: $15,000

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Member (Non-Chair): $4,000
Risk and Compliance Committee Chair: $15,000
Risk and Compliance Committee Member (Non-Chair): $7,500
Stock Ownership Guidelines
In October 2021, we adopted a stock ownership policy for our non-employee directors. Our stock ownership policy requires our non-employee directors to acquire and hold a number of shares of our Company’s common stock equal in value to five times the director’s annual cash retainer for regular service on the Board of Directors until such director’s service on the Board of Directors ceases. We only count directly and beneficially owned shares, including shares underlying vested RSUs that are held or deferred and shares received on exercise of stock options and shares held in trust. Each non-employee director has until the last day of our fiscal year that includes the fifth anniversary of the later of his or her initial appointment to the Board of Directors or from the effective date of the policy to attain the required ownership level. The Compensation Committee may make exceptions in situations where the stock ownership policy would cause a severe hardship.

NOMINATIONS PROCESS AND DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS
Nomination to the Board of Directors
Candidates for nomination to our Board of Directors are selected by our Board of Directors based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with the committee’s charter, our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws, our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the criteria approved by our Board of Directors regarding director candidate qualifications. In recommending candidates for nomination, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates recommended by directors, officers, employees, stockholders and others, using the same criteria to evaluate all candidates. Evaluations of candidates generally involve a review of background materials, internal discussions and interviews with selected candidates as appropriate and, in addition, the committee may engage consultants or third-party search firms to assist in identifying and evaluating potential nominees.
Stockholders wishing to recommend candidates for consideration by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee should submit their recommendations to the attention of the Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive offices. Information regarding the process for submitting stockholder nominations for candidates for membership on our Board of Directors is set forth below under “Stockholder Proposals to Be Presented at the Next Annual Meeting.”
Director Qualifications
With the goal of developing a diverse, experienced and highly qualified board of directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing and recommending to our Board of Directors the desired qualifications, expertise and characteristics of members of our Board of Directors, including any specific minimum qualifications that the committee believes must be met by a committee-recommended nominee for membership on our Board of Directors and any specific qualities or skills that the committee believes are necessary for one or more of the members of our Board of Directors to possess.
Because the identification, evaluation and selection of qualified directors is a complex and subjective process that requires consideration of many intangible factors, and will be significantly influenced by the particular needs of our Board of Directors from time to time, our Board of Directors has not adopted a specific set of minimum qualifications, qualities or skills that are necessary for a nominee to possess, other than those that are necessary to meet U.S. legal, regulatory and NYSE listing requirements and the provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation, restated bylaws, Corporate Governance Guidelines and charters of the committees of our Board of Directors. In addition, neither our Board of Directors nor our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees. When considering nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into consideration many factors including, among other things, a candidate’s independence, integrity, diversity, skills, financial and other expertise, breadth of experience, knowledge about our business or industry and ability to devote adequate time and effort to responsibilities of our Board of Directors in the context of its existing composition. Through the nomination process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to promote board membership that reflects a diversity of business experience, expertise, viewpoints, personal backgrounds and other characteristics that are expected to contribute to our Board of Directors’ overall effectiveness. The brief biographical description of each director set forth in “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance Standards—Our Board of Directors—Nominees for Director and —Continuing Directors” above includes the primary individual experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each of our directors that led to the conclusion that each director should serve as a member of our Board of Directors at this time.

The ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2023 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. In the event that Ernst & Young LLP is not ratified by our stockholders, the Audit Committee will review its future selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Further, the Audit Committee may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if, in the committee’s sole discretion, the committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION
OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we are providing stockholders with an opportunity to make a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. This non-binding advisory vote is commonly referred to as a “say on pay” vote. The non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, will be determined by the vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present or represented at the Annual Meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on the proposal.
Stockholders are urged to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement, which discusses how our executive compensation policies and procedures implement our compensation philosophy and contains tabular information and narrative discussion about the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. Our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors believe that these policies and procedures are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving our goals. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that our stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and narrative discussion and the other related disclosures.”
As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our Named Executive Officers.

Former Chief Experience Officer
Mr. Padelford joined us on September 12, 2022. Ms. Chung ceased to serve as our Chief Experience Officer on October 31, 2022, and continued to serve as a consultant through June 30, 2023.
2022 Say on Pay Vote
We hold advisory votes on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (a “Say on Pay” vote) at every annual meeting of stockholders. The Compensation Committee has historically taken into consideration the results of our Say on Pay vote when making decisions regarding the structure and implementation of our executive compensation program.
At our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, approximately 36% of votes cast were voted in favor of our Say on Pay proposal (the 2022 Say on Pay Vote). This represented a significant decline from 2021, when the Say on Pay proposal received the support of approximately 93% of votes cast. As a result, we undertook robust stockholder engagement efforts to listen to stockholder perspectives and incorporate their feedback into the Compensation Committee’s deliberations.
Stockholder Engagement
Fall 2022 Outreach
In fall 2022, in response to investor questions and concerns about our fiscal 2022 executive compensation and adverse voting recommendations from third-party proxy advisory firms, we embarked on a sizable outreach effort. We reached out to 16 of our largest institutional stockholders representing approximately 54% of our outstanding shares (based on share ownership reports as of September 30, 2022) to gather their feedback. We engaged in discussions with 14 institutional stockholders then representing approximately 51% of our outstanding shares. Our BoardCompensation Committee Chair, Scott Wagner, participated in one of Directors chooses executive officers, who then servethese meetings. Other representatives from the Company included senior members of our investor relations and finance teams.
Although we were disappointed with the outcome of the 2022 Say on Pay vote, our outreach efforts provided us with valuable insight into the priorities of our investors and helped inform the Compensation Committee’s subsequent deliberations.
Fall 2023 Outreach
In early fall 2023, we reached out to 22 of our largest stockholders representing approximately 70% of our outstanding shares (based on share ownership reports as of June 30, 2023). 12 stockholders representing approximately 49% of our outstanding shares accepted our invitation and met with us to share their feedback. Two stockholders representing approximately 10% of our outstanding shares confirmed that a discussion was not needed or requested a meeting at the discretiona future date, and eight stockholders representing 11% of our outstanding shares did not

What We Heard
Board Actions and Changes in Response
Board Composition Disclosure
Certain stockholders sought enhanced disclosure regarding our directors, including their specific skills and areas of expertise.
• Enhanced disclosure around director backgrounds. In our proxy statement for our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we revamped the presentation of our directors and their backgrounds and added new disclosure with respect to their skills and experience.
Named Executive Officer One-Time
Equity Awards
Certain stockholders expressed concerns regarding one-time awards made to Named Executive Officers, including certain awards made in connection with M&A activity.
• No one-time awards approved in fiscal 2023. The Compensation Committee did not make any one-time awards to any of our Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2023 or in fiscal 2024 to date. Going forward, the Compensation Committee expects special grants to Named Executive Officers to be only on a limited, exceptional basis. In the event the Compensation Committee identifies a need for one-time grants, such as in connection with M&A activity, it will carefully consider the objectives, design (including the use of performance characteristics), and size of such grants, and we will thoroughly disclose its process and rationale in the applicable proxy statement.
Mix of Performance-
Based Equity
Certain stockholders expressed a preference for performance-based awards comprising a greater proportion of our Named Executive Officers’ long-term incentive awards.
• Introduced PSUs in fiscal 2023. In fiscal 2023, we introduced performance-based equity for the first time. In fiscal 2023, 30% of the target long-term equity incentive awards for each of our Named Executive Officers were in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs).

• Proportion of PSUs increased in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2024, 50% of our CEO’s and CFO’s long-term equity incentive awards were in the form of PSUs; 40% of our remaining Named Executive Officers’ long-term equity incentive awards were in the form of PSUs. The Compensation Committee will review on an ongoing basis the mix of performance equity, including target weighting of PSUs, in the context of market data and our overall pay-for-performance philosophy.

Measurement Periods of Performance-Based
Awards
Certain stockholders expressed a preference for longer-term performance-based awards, with three-year measurement periods.
• Introduced 3-Year TSR PSUs in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2024, we introduced three-year PSU awards tied to BILL’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026.
Corporate Governance Profile
Certain stockholders expressed concern with certain of our corporate governance features, including our classified Board and supermajority voting requirements for bylaw and charter amendments.
• Comprehensive corporate governance review planned for fiscal 2024. Over the coming months, the Board will be conducting a full review of our governing documents with the intention of sunsetting certain of our protective provisions over the coming years.
Fiscal 2023 Compensation Highlights
No one-time awards. In fiscal 2023, we did not provide any one-time equity grants to our Named Executive Officers.
Added new profitability metric to executive incentive cash bonus plan. In fiscal 2023, we added a second financial performance metric, “EBITDA Less Float,” to our executive incentive bonus plan (in addition to Core Revenue; a measurement of our revenue achievement).1 We define EBITDA Less Float as our non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, excluding the margin contribution on funds held for customers. We define Core Revenue as revenue generated by subscription and transaction fees. This metric measures the profitability of our core business. For fiscal 2023, EBITDA Less Float and Core Revenue were weighted equally in determining executive bonus achievement.
Introduced performance-based equity. In fiscal 2023, we introduced PSUs to our executive officer compensation program. In fiscal 2023, 30% of the Named Executive Officers’ equity compensation was comprised of PSUs with financial-based performance metrics and the balance was comprised of time-based restricted stock units that vest over four years. The PSUs granted in fiscal 2023 were eligible to be earned based on our level of achievement of certain Core Revenue targets, subject to a Non-GAAP Net Income threshold, for fiscal 2023, followed by additional time-based vesting.1
Comprehensive stockholder outreach. Leading up to our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we met with stockholders owning approximately 51% of our outstanding shares to discuss their perspectives and gather feedback on our executive compensation program. Further detail on that feedback and the changes we made in response can be found above.

EBITDA Less Float and Non-GAAP Net Income are not financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (GAAP). For more information on how we compute these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, please refer to “Appendix A: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this Proxy Statement.

Compensation DiscussionChanges for Fiscal 2024
Increased proportion of performance-based equity. For Mr. Lacerte and Mr. Rettig, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), respectively, 50% (increased from 30%) of the target long-term equity incentive value awarded for fiscal 2024 was in the form of PSUs, and the balance was in the form of time-based RSUs. For our remaining Named Executive Officers, 40% (increased from 30%) of the target long-term equity incentive value awarded for fiscal 2024 was in the form of PSUs, and the balance in RSUs. This increase represents a significant emphasis on performance-based compensation for our executive team, and a commitment to continue to align pay and performance.
Incorporated total shareholder return metric. We introduced new PSUs tied to total shareholder return relative to the Russell 3000 over a three-year performance period. We believe these PSUs will help further align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders and focus our leadership on long-term performance.
No base salary increases. The Compensation Committee did not increase the base salaries of our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2024.
Reduced CEO target total compensation. The target value of the long-term equity incentive grant for our CEO was reduced approximately 7% in fiscal 2024 in order to maintain a competitive positioning approximating the median of companies in our compensation peer group.

Fiscal 2022 Executive Compensation Highlights
Our fiscal 2022 compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers reflect our overarching philosophy of pay-for-performance. Highlights of our executive compensation program include:
Competitive Base Salaries: After evaluating the competitive positioning of our Named Executive Officers’ base salaries in the context of our overall compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee approved base salary increases for our Named Executive Officers, excluding newly appointed executives, between 4.0% and 8.7% for fiscal 2022.
Challenging Annual Incentive Goals: Our Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Clayton) were eligible to earn a cash bonus based on our level of achievement of revenue growth for the year, with additional consideration given to each executive’s individual performance. Based on our strong growth, including 173% growth in our revenue from subscription and transaction fees (Core Revenue) from fiscal 2021, executives participating in our Fiscal 2022 Bonus Program earned bonuses between 145% and 174% of their target bonus for the year.
Enhanced Governance Features: In October 2021, our Compensation Committee approved the adoption of a clawback policy and stock ownership guidelines applicableequity awards granted to our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2023 and non-employee directors.2024, including key metrics and terms, where applicable.
CFO Performance-Based Equity Grant: To further incentivize and retain our Chief Financial Officer, our Compensation Committee granted Mr. Rettig special time-based and performance-based restricted stock units in December 2021. The performance-based restricted stock units are subject to stock-price appreciation targets such that Mr. Rettig benefits only if there are meaningful increases in stockholder value.
Acquisition-Based Equity Grants: In connection with, and as negotiated as part of, our acquisitions of Divvy and Invoice2go, our Compensation Committee granted Mr. Murray and Mr. Lenhard special time-based restricted stock units in June 2021 and September 2021, respectively. These acquisition-related grants were intended to incentivize the successful integration of the acquired companies.
Fiscal 2023 Executive Compensation Program
In late 2021, our Compensation Committee, with support from our management team and Compensia, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, initiated a process of evaluating our approach to executive compensation to ensure ongoing alignment with our company objectives, desired pay-for-performance culture, and competitive market practice. This review included input from our investors (provided during investor outreach efforts in 2021) as well as market data and input from Compensia.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Taking into consideration these objectives, in 2022, our Compensation Committee approved two notable changes to our executive compensation program for fiscal 2023:
Performance-based equity: Approximately 30% of the target long-term incentive value awarded to our executives in July 2022 was in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) for which vesting is contingent upon our level of achievement of Core Revenue targets and a Non-GAAP Net Income threshold for fiscal 2023, plus a time-based vesting requirement. If earned, the total vesting period is three years. The remaining target value of long-term incentives was granted in the form of time-based restricted stock units (RSUs) vesting over four years. This approach reflects a transition from a mix of RSUs and stock options in fiscal 2022, and our commitment to continue to align pay and performance.
Annual cash bonus: Our executives are eligible to earn a cash annual incentive based on our level of achievement of Core Revenue and Non-GAAP Operating Income (after deducting float revenue) goals for fiscal 2023. The addition of a profitability metric for fiscal 2023 is intended to motivate more efficient performance and execution across the company. Additionally, the bonus payable to an executive may be adjusted up or down by 20% based on each executive’s individual performance during the year.
The Compensation Committee views thesebelieves that the changes as an important step indescribed above are responsive to the evolutionfeedback that we heard from investors. The Compensation Committee has determined that the changes are consistent with the philosophy of our executive compensation program to match the growth and complexity ofare important in attracting, motivating and retaining executives and creating long-term value for our business.stockholders. The Compensation Committee will continue to review our executive compensation programs annually to ensure ongoing alignment with our desired compensation philosophy and the long-term interests of our shareholders.
Fiscal 2021 Say-on-Pay Vote
At our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders were provided the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2021 (a “say-on-pay” proposal). Our stockholders approved this say-on-pay proposal, with more than 93% of votes cast in favor of our executive compensation program.
The Compensation Committee considered this strong stockholder approval, as well as input from our stockholders, in the context of finalizing compensation decisions for fiscal 2022 and approving changes to our compensation plans for fiscal 2023 as described above. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider input from our stockholders as reflected in the outcome of our annual say-on-pay vote when making executive compensation program decisions. We value the input of our stockholders, and our Compensation Committee will consider the results of our future say-on-pay votes, as well as feedback received throughout the year from our stockholders, when determining the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.stockholders.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our compensation philosophy and programs are designed to attract and retain talented executives who will help us realize our vision of becomingmaking it simple to connect and do business, to automate the leading one-stop solution that helpsfuture of finance so millions of businessesSMBs around the world manage their financial operations,can thrive, and to motivate and reward executive performance consistent with BILL'sin a manner that is reflective of our overall financial performance.performance over time. Compensation objectives include:
Attracting, retaining and motivating top talent who deliver high impact performance results;
Aligning the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders; and
Providing a strong incentive for executives to work toward the achievement of our goals, including sustained stockholder value creation.
We seek to achieve these objectives by providing compensation that is competitive with the practices of companies in our peer group and market for executive talent in our geography, with individual pay decisions approved in the context of both companyCompany and individual performance. In addition to our peer group, we compete with much larger technology and other high-growth software and fintechfinancial technology companies for world class talent.
In addition, the Compensation Committee seeks to ensure that we maintain sound governance and compensation policies and practices. In designing and overseeing our executive compensation program, we strive to employ best practices and regularly assess our policies and practices.
What We Do
Pay for Performance. We emphasize a strong pay-for-performance culture through rigorous annual incentive plan goals and by delivering a substantial portion of total compensation for our Named Executive Officers in the form of performance-based and time-based long-term equity awards.
Annual Compensation Review. We maintain and annually review a group of peer companies, which we use as a data point for all compensation decisions for our executives. The peer group is comprised of public companies that have a similar revenue and market capitalization to ours. We compete with these companies, as well as with larger technology companies, for executive talent.
Independent Compensation Consultant. Our Compensation Committee directly engages an independent compensation consultant, Compensia, to provide analysis for all aspects of our executive compensation decisions and guidance on other executive compensation matters independent of management.
Annual Say on Pay Vote. We conduct an annual, non-binding stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, and the Compensation Committee considers the outcome of this vote when making future compensation decisions for our executive officers.
Stockholder Outreach. We engage in stockholder outreach throughout the year to discuss our business, including discussions with stockholders about the structure of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee considers the feedback we receive from stockholders about our executive compensation program when making future compensation decisions for our executive officers. For further information, including with respect to stockholder outreach in response to our 2022 Say on Pay Vote, see the section entitled “—Stockholder Engagement.”
Stock Ownership Guidelines. We maintain stock ownership guidelines for our Chief Executive Officer, our other executive officers and the non-employee members of our Board.
Clawback Policy. Our executive officers are subject to a compensation recovery “clawback” policy that provides for the recovery of incentive-based compensation in the event we restate our financial statements.

Executive Compensation Program Design
Our Compensation Committee believes that executive compensation should be competitive with market practice and linked to our overall companyCompany performance and stockholder returns. Our Compensation Committee evaluates our compensation philosophy and executive compensation program annually to ensure that our programs remain competitive relative to our market for executive talent and aligned with our strategic objectives. By delivering compensation in a mix of fixed and variable pay, including long-term vesting equity awards, we seek to align the incentives of our Named Executive Officers with achievement of long-term business objectives and financial performance that drives sustained stockholder value creation.
To support our long-term objectives and reinforce a strong pay-for-performance culture, a majority of total directtarget compensation for our Named Executive Officers has been awarded in the form of a mix of time-vesting stock optionsperformance-based PSUs and time-based RSUs. To further align stockholder value creation with executive compensation, for fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee approvedincreased the weighting of performance-based equity vs. time-based equity, and introduced a changenew long-term performance metric in fiscal 2023 from stock options to PSUs.our PSU program based on relative total shareholder return.

As a result, our Named Executive Officers were awarded annual equity grants in July 2021 (in fiscal 2022), and there were no annual equity grants awarded during fiscal 2021 or reported in the Fiscal 2021 Summary Compensation Table.2022.
Compensation Decision-Making Process
Determination of Compensation Awards
In setting the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, our Compensation Committee uses a balanced approach that does not userather than rigid percentiles or benchmarks to establish pay levels for each compensation element. Our Compensation Committee considers the market range of each executive role with opportunities for above median compensation driven by both companyCompany performance and considerations specific to each Named Executive Officer. For fiscal 2022,2023, our Compensation Committee considered the following factors in determining the compensation of our Named Executive Officers:
market data, including practices among companies in our compensation peer group;
each executive officer’s scope of responsibilities;
each executive officer’s tenure, skills, experience, and performance;
internal pay equity across the executive management team;
our overall performance, taking into consideration performance versus internal plans and industry peers;
the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own compensation); and
general market conditions.

The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a formal written charter approved by our Board, of Directors, which is available on our website at https://investor.bill.com.
At least annually, the Compensation Committee reviews our executive compensation program and determines (and with respect to the CEO, formulates recommendations offor consideration by our Board) the various elements of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation, with input from our Board, of Directors, as well as any employment arrangements with our Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee is responsible for taking action with respect to compensation that will attract and retain talented executives and support our long-term stockholder value creation with an effective pay-for-performance approach.
The Compensation Committee meets regularly during the fiscal year both with and without the presence of our Chief Executive Officer and other Named Executive Officers.

Role of Competitive Market Data
As part of its annual compensation review process, the Compensation Committee generally reviews competitive market data for positions comparable to those of our Named Executive Officers and other key executives.

Additional factors that were considered in identifying peers included:
revenue less than approximately $550 million and a preference for strong revenue growth;
a market capitalization between $7.5 billion and $30 billion; and
headquarters in the United States, with consideration given to San Francisco Bay Area companies in the overall peer group.

Our Compensation Committee considers the market range of each executive role with opportunities for above median compensation driven by both Company performance and considerations specific to each Named Executive Officer. For fiscal 2023, our Compensation Committee considered the following factors in determining the compensation of our Named Executive Officers:
market data, including practices among companies in our compensation peer group;
each executive officer’s scope of responsibilities;
each executive officer’s tenure, skills, experience, and performance;
internal pay equity across the executive management team;
our overall performance, taking into consideration performance versus internal plans and industry peers;
the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own compensation); and
general market conditions.
Our Compensation Committee does not assign relative weights or rankings to any of these factors and does not solely use any quantitative formula, target percentile or multiple for establishing compensation among the executive officers or in relation to the competitive market data.
Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing our executive compensation program and all related policies and practices. The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a formal written charter approved by our Board, which is available on our website at https://investor.bill.com.
At least annually, the Compensation Committee reviews our executive compensation program and determines (and with respect to the CEO, formulates recommendations for consideration by our Board) the various elements of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation, with input from our Board, as well as any employment arrangements with our Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee is responsible for taking action with respect to compensation that will attract and retain talented executives and support our long-term stockholder value creation with an effective pay-for-performance approach.
The Compensation Committee meets regularly during the fiscal year both with and without the presence of our Chief Executive Officer and other Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee also discusses compensation issues with our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own compensation) and other members of the Board between its formal meetings.
Base Salary
Base salary is the primary fixed component of our executive compensation program. Base salaries for our executive officers are generally reviewed annually in Julyprovide a fixed level of each year. In light of uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, we delayed increases in base salary for our executive officers for fiscal 2021 from July 2020 to January 2021. As a result, changes in base salary during fiscal 2021 were effective as of January 1, 2021. Changes in base salary applicable to fiscal 2022 were effective as of July 1,2021, in accordance with our current practice of reviewing and adjusting compensation at the beginning of the fiscal year, for Messrs. Lacerte, Rettig, and Clayton, and Ms. Chung. Base salaries for other executives were determined in connection with the commencement of their employment. In fiscal 2021 and 2022, the base compensation for our Named Executive Officers was as follows:

The actual fiscal 2022 cash bonus for each executive was determined based on the executive’s base salary as of fiscal year end (which was unchanged during the fiscal year).
Fiscal 2022 Bonus Program Performance Measurement
For purposes of the Fiscal 2022 Bonus Program, the Compensation Committee selected Core Revenue (as described above) as the primary corporate performance measure for purposes of determining the bonus for our Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee believed that this measure was the most appropriate performance metric to use because, in its view, it is the best indicator for fiscal 2022 of our successful execution of our annual operating plan and tracked to the key revenue metrics that we report to the public each quarter on our business progress.
The bonus for each Named Executive Officer is based on our level of achievement, relative to pre-established threshold, target and maximum levels of Core Revenue, approved by the Compensation Committee in July 2021.

Following the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of corporate financial performance, each Named Executive Officer’s payout may be adjusted up or down by a maximum of 20% based on an evaluation of each executive’s individual performance during the year.
Fiscal 2022 Bonus Program Payouts
In July 2022, the Compensation Committee determined that our actual fiscal 2022 Core Revenue was $633.4 million, which exceeded the level of performance required for a maximum payout on the corporate performance component of the Fiscal 2022 Bonus Program. Our Compensation Committee evaluated our achievement in the context of our broader performance, including the impact of acquisitions on our results for the year. Based on this review, and taking into consideration our results for the year, our Compensation Committee approved a corporate performance factor equal to payment at 145% of target (adjusted down from the calculated achievement of 150%).
An individual performance modifier was also applied to each of the following Named Executive Officers: Mr. Lacerte’s bonus was increased by 10%, Mr. Rettig’s bonus was increased by 20%, and Ms. Chung’s bonus was increased by 15%. These individual performance adjustments were approved in the context of each executive’s contributions to our strong results during the year, including successful integration of two significant acquisitions as well as strong performance during a significant downturn in overall economic activity.
Taking into consideration our corporate results and individual performance of our Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee approved the following cash bonuses for our Named Executive Officers:

Compensation Decision-Making Process
Determination of Compensation
In setting the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, our Compensation Committee uses a balanced approach rather than rigid percentiles or benchmarks to establish pay levels for each compensation element. Our Compensation Committee considers the market range of each executive role with opportunities for above median compensation driven by both Company performance and considerations specific to each Named Executive Officer. For fiscal 2023, our Compensation Committee considered the following factors in determining the compensation of our Named Executive Officers:
market data, including practices among companies in our compensation peer group;
each executive officer’s scope of responsibilities;
each executive officer’s tenure, skills, experience, and performance;
internal pay equity across the executive management team;
our overall performance, taking into consideration performance versus internal plans and industry peers;
the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own compensation); and
general market conditions.
Our Compensation Committee does not assign relative weights or rankings to any of these factors and does not solely use any quantitative formula, target percentile or multiple for establishing compensation among the executive officers or in relation to the competitive market data.
Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing our executive compensation program and all related policies and practices. The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a formal written charter approved by our Board, which is available on our website at https://investor.bill.com.
At least annually, the Compensation Committee reviews our executive compensation program and determines (and with respect to the CEO, formulates recommendations for consideration by our Board) the various elements of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation, with input from our Board, as well as any employment arrangements with our Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee is responsible for taking action with respect to compensation that will attract and retain talented executives and support our long-term stockholder value creation with an effective pay-for-performance approach.
The Compensation Committee meets regularly during the fiscal year both with and without the presence of our Chief Executive Officer and other Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee also discusses compensation issues with our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own compensation) and other members of the Board between its formal meetings.
Role of Management
The compensation of our Named Executive Officers is determined by the Compensation Committee. In discharging its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee also works with members of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and senior Human Resources and Legal executives. Our management team assists the Compensation Committee by providing information on corporate and individual performance, competitive market data, and management’s perspective and recommendations on compensation matters.
Members of management, including our Chief Executive Officer, regularly participate in Compensation Committee meetings to provide input on our compensation philosophy and objectives. Our Chief Executive Officer discusses with the Compensation Committee the compensation and performance of all executive officers, other than himself. Our Chief Executive Officer bases his recommendations in part upon his review of the performance of our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

executive officers. The Compensation Committee reviews and discusses these recommendations and proposals with our Chief Executive Officer and uses them as one factor in determining and approving the compensation for our executive officers. None of our executives attends any portion of Compensation Committee meetings at which his or her compensation is discussed.
Role of the Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee may engage the services of outside advisors, experts and others to assist the Compensation Committee. During fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee retained the services of Compensia as independent compensation consultant to advise the Compensation Committee on compensation matters related to our executive and director compensation programs. In fiscal 2023, Compensia provided the following support:
assisted in the review and updating of our compensation peer group;
analyzed the executive compensation levels and practices of the companies in our compensation peer group;
provided advice with respect to compensation best practices and market trends for Named Executive Officers and directors;
assisted with the design of the short-term and long-term incentive compensation plans for our Named Executive Officers and other executives;
provided ad hoc advice and support throughout the year; and
reviewed this Compensation Discussion and Analysis and other Proxy Statement disclosures.
Compensia reported to and worked for the Compensation Committee. In fiscal 2023, Compensia did not provide any services to us other than the services provided to our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Compensia in fiscal 2023 taking into account, among other things, the factors set forth in Exchange Act Rule 10C-1 and the listing standards of the NYSE, and has concluded that no conflict of interest exists with respect to the work that Compensia performs for our Compensation Committee.
Role of Competitive Market Data
As part of its annual compensation review process, the Compensation Committee generally reviews competitive market data for positions comparable to those of our Named Executive Officers and other key executives.
In February 2022, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Compensia, reviewed our executive compensation peer group. The executive compensation peer group approved by the Compensation Committee to support fiscal 2023 pay decisions was comprised of publicly-listed direct competitors and cloud software companies. Additional factors that were considered in identifying peers included:
revenue generally less than $1.5 billion and a preference for strong revenue growth;
a market capitalization between $10 billion and $50 billion; and
headquarters in the United States, with consideration given to San Francisco Bay Area companies in the overall peer group.
For fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee reviewed market data from the following compensation peer group:
Affirm
HubSpot
Asana
MongoDB
Avalara
Okta
Cloudflare
Paylocity Holdings
Confluent
Qualtrics International
Coupa Software
The Trade Desk
Crowdstrike
Unity Software
Datadog
Upstart
Dynatrace
ZoomInfo Technologies
HashiCorp
Zscaler

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Compensation Committee removed Anaplan, AppFolio, Appian, BlackLine, C3.ai, Elastic, Everbridge, Fastly, Five9, Q2, SailPoint, Smartsheet, and Workiva from our fiscal 2023 compensation peer group either because the company did not meet one or more of the criteria discussed above and was no longer considered to be a meaningful comparison point or the company ceased to be publicly traded. Our Compensation Committee then added Affirm, Asana, Confluent, CrowdStrike, Datadog, Dynatrace, HashiCorp, HubSpot, MongoDB, Okta, Paylocity Holding, Qualtrics International, The Trade Desk, Unity Software, and Upstart to our fiscal 2023 compensation peer group based on the criteria set forth above.
The Compensation Committee evaluates our peer group annually and modifies the peer group as needed. Given that not all of the peer group companies report data for a position comparable to each of our executive officers, the Compensation Committee also reviews market data from the Radford Global Technology survey. Our Compensation Committee utilizes market data as one reference point along with various other factors, such as the individual’s performance, experience, and competitive market conditions in making compensation decisions.
Principal Elements of Compensation
Base Salary
Base salary is the primary fixed component of our executive compensation program. Base salaries for our executive officers are generally reviewed annually in July of each year. Changes in base salary applicable to fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023 were effective as of July 1,2021 and 2022, in accordance with our current practice of reviewing and adjusting compensation at the beginning of the fiscal year.

The initial salary rate is Canadian Dollars (CAD) 577,000. Value converted from CAD to U.S. Dollars (USD) per June 30, 2023 exchange rate of 1 CAD = 0.755 USD.
Base salary adjustments were made with reference to competitive market data and additional considerations described above under “—Compensation Decision-Making Process”, including the scope of role and individual performance of our Named Executive Officers. We seek to provide our executive officers with a base salary that is appropriate for their position and responsibilities, and that provides them with a level of income stability. Base salary adjustments were generally intended to increase alignment with the competitive market range as measured against our peer group for each Named Executive Officer, reflecting our strong performance and changes in our overall compensation framework through our transition from a private to publicly-traded company.
Base salaries and target annual incentive opportunities for our Named Executive Officers were not increased from fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2024. This was based on the Compensation Committee’s determination, including input from the CEO, that cash compensation was competitively positioned relative to market norms among comparable companies.
Annual Cash Bonus Compensation
We use performance-based annual cash bonus opportunities to motivate our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, to achieve our annual financial, operational, and strategic business objectives. Under the Fiscal 2023 Bonus Program, our Named Executive Officers were eligible to earn annual cash bonuses based on our achievement of corporate financial goals, as described in detail below.
Target Annual Cash Bonus Opportunities
For purposes of the Fiscal 2023 Bonus Program, our Compensation Committee determined the target annual cash bonus opportunities of our Named Executive Officers expressed as a percentage of their annual base salary.

Fiscal 2023 Bonus Program Performance Measurement
As we focus on driving durable growth and, increasingly, on enhancing our profitability profile, and in response to stockholder feedback, our Named Executive Officers were eligible to earn a cash bonus in fiscal 2023 based on our level of achievement of both revenue growth and a new profitability metric (weighted equally), with additional consideration given to each executive’s individual performance. The Fiscal 2023 Bonus Program required achievement of top-line and bottom-line performance metrics—specifically, Core Revenue and EBITDA Less Float — to provide incentives that drive the efficient, long-term growth of the Company. We continue to use Core Revenue (as we did in fiscal 2022) because it has been an important metric used by investors to assess the health and trajectory of our business and for fiscal 2023 we also included EBITDA Less Float to drive and reward improving profitability, which was a key focus for us in fiscal 2023. Both our Core Revenue and our EBITDA Less Float goals were weighted equally in determining the corporate performance factor for the fiscal 2023 bonus, with payouts for achievement between threshold, target and maximum levels to be linearly interpolated.
The Fiscal 2023 Bonus Program structure applicable for each of our Named Executive Officers, approved by the Compensation Committee in July 2022, was as follows:

Fiscal 2023 Bonus Program Payouts
In August 2023, the Compensation Committee determined that our actual fiscal 2023 Core Revenue was $944.7 million and EBITDA Less Float was approximately $9 million. Based on these results, our Compensation Committee approved a corporate performance factor equal to payment at 113.7% of target, as illustrated below:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Each Named Executive Officer’s overall performance and progress towards or achievement of his or her individual objectives was next reviewed by the Compensation Committee to determine whether the payout determined above should be adjusted upwards or downwards by up to 20% pursuant to the Fiscal 2023 Bonus Program. As a result of this assessment, the Compensation Committee determined to apply a 20% individual performance modifier to Mr. Rettig’s bonus. Mr. Rettig’s individual performance modifier was determined to be reasonable and appropriate because of his exceptional contributions to our strong financial results during the year, including guiding the Company to its first year of non-GAAP profitability, helping to achieve over $1 billion in revenue for the first time in our history, and being instrumental to our acquisition of Finmark. He was also instrumental in helping BILL navigate through the banking crisis in March 2023. Increasing revenue and achieving profitability were among Mr. Rettig’s two key objectives for the year and he successfully achieved them, creating a direct positive outcome for the Company and our stockholders. As a result, the Compensation Committee believed his outstanding personal performance warranted the individual personal modifier as contemplated by the Fiscal 2023 Bonus Program.
Taking into consideration our corporate results and individual performance of our Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee approved the following cash bonuses for our Named Executive Officers:

Ms. Chung did not earn an annual bonus payment for fiscal 2023 due to her retirement in October 2022.
Base salaries and target annual incentive opportunities for our Named Executive Officers were not increased from fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2024. This was based on the Compensation Committee’s determination, including input from the CEO, that cash compensation was competitively positioned relative to market norms among comparable companies.
Other Cash Bonus Payments
Mr. Padelford received a signing bonus of $145,224 (CAD $192,350) as an inducement for Mr. Padelford to commence employment with us in September 2022. This signing bonus is subject to repayment in the event Mr. Padelford resigns or is terminated for “cause” before the one-year anniversary of his employment start date.
Equity Compensation
A significant portion of executive pay is delivered as long-term incentive equity awards with multi-year vesting requirements and performance-based metrics to incentivize, reward and retain our Named Executive Officers and drive long-term corporate performance and stockholder value and, thereby, to align the interests of our Named Executive Officers with those of our stockholders. Although our 2019 Plan does not itself mandate minimum vesting periods for specific types of equity awards, we generally provide awards vesting over a four-year time horizon, including a one-year cliff for new hires.
We have historically used equity awards in the form of time-based stock options and RSUs, but our Compensation Committee subsequently transitioned to primarily using RSUs. The Compensation Committee believes that RSUs serve as an important retention vehicle and align the interests of management and stockholders while being less dilutive than stock options.
As discussed above, during fiscal 2023 and in response to, among other things, market trends, our Compensation Committee’s assessment of our overall compensation program, our 2022 Say on Pay Vote results and investor feedback, the Compensation Committee introduced PSUs as a material component of annual equity award allocations for our executive officers.

Upon joining our Company in September 2022, Mr. Padelford received awards structured as 70% RSUs and 20%30% PSUs, in amounts reflecting the value required to incentivize him to join us as a new hire. In all cases, the target award value was converted into time-vesting stock options, in both casesshares based on the 30-trading day average closing price of our common stock through the period ending on the day prior to the date of grant.

The PSUs granted to our Named Executive Officers were either hired in during fiscal 2021 or joined us through an acquisition and so did not participate in our fiscal 2022 annual long-term incentive grant process. Equity awards granted to Messrs. Murray and Lenhard are described below.
Chief Financial Officer Equity Compensation
In addition to the annual long-term incentives described above, on December 13, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved two special equity grants to Mr. Rettig, our Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Finance and Operations. These grants are2023 were eligible to be earned based on certain employment or service conditions and, inour level of achievement of a Core Revenue metric, as described above. In addition, the casenumber of shares earned were subject to a maximum equal to 100% of target if our fiscal 2023 Non-GAAP Net Income did not exceed a $45 million threshold during the year.
Core Revenue was selected as the key performance metric for the fiscal 2023 PSUs as well as our Fiscal 2023 Bonus Program because our Compensation Committee determined that one of the PSUs described below, our stock price appreciation. In considering and approving the grants, with the assistance of its outside advisors, themost important factors in increasing stockholder value in fiscal 2023 was Core Revenue growth. Our Compensation Committee considered a variety of factors, including our continued growth, our dynamic, highly competitive and fast-moving industry and the bestdifficulty of predicting future performance in such an environment, and concluded that a one-year Core Revenue-based performance metric incentivized our executives to focus on achieving performance objectives directly connected to our growth plan and, as a result, aligned their success with the interests of our stockholders and a desire to retain Mr. Rettig due to his track record of excellent performance, contributions to the operational execution and strategic direction of the Company, and strong leadership abilities.
The special equity grants consist of (i) 35,000 time-vesting RSUs with an approximate target value of $10 million and (ii) 50,000 performance-vesting PSUs with an approximate target value of $10 million. For both awards, the target value was converted into a number of shares based on the 30-trading day average closing price of our common stock through the period ending on the date of grant.stockholders.

The Lenhard RSU Award is subject tototal compensation represented by PSUs, and diversifying the vesting conditions by adding a three-year vesting schedule, with one-third of the RSUs eligiblerelative TSR performance goal as described above under “—Compensation Changes for vesting on November 28, 2022, and thereafter 1/12th of the RSUs vesting quarterly over the following two-year period, subject to Mr. Lenhard’s continued service through each vesting date.

Mr. Lenhard terminated service with us in September 2022 and none of the Lenhard RSU Award vested.Fiscal 2024”.
For Mr. Lacerte and Mr. Rettig, approximately 40% of the target PSU value awarded in August 2023 is based on relative TSR (approximately 37.5% for Mr. Padelford and Mr. Aji). Vesting is contingent upon our TSR percentile ranking during a three-year performance period, beginning July 1, 2023 and ending June 30, 2026, relative to the companies included in the Russell 3000 index. 100% of earned shares vest at the end of the three-year period, subject to the executive’s continued service.
For Mr. Lacerte and Mr. Rettig, approximately 60% of the target PSU value awarded in August 2023 was in the form of financial metric PSUs (approximately 62.5% for Mr. Padelford and Mr. Aji), similar to those introduced in fiscal 2023. These PSUs are eligible to be earned based on our level of achievement of a Core Revenue target for fiscal 2024, which is meaningfully higher than the Core Revenue target for fiscal 2023. The PSUs are capped at 100% of target if our fiscal 2024 Non-GAAP Net Income does not exceed a defined threshold during the year. 1/3 of any achieved PSUs will vest shortly following achievement, and the balance will vest quarterly over two years, subject to the executive’s continued service.

Post-Employment Compensation Arrangements
The Compensation Committee considers maintaining a stable and effective management team to be essential to protecting the best interests of BILL and our stockholders. Accordingly, we have entered into change in control and severance agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers. These agreements are intended to align with competitive market practice among peers and the broader software market. In addition, change-in-control benefits support continued retention and continuity with respect to their roles and responsibilities without the distraction that may arise from the possibility or occurrence of a change in control of BILL.

For detailed descriptions of the post-employment compensation arrangements, we maintain with our Named Executive Officers as well as an estimate of the potential payments and benefits payable under these arrangements, see “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in ControlControl” below.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
To further align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders and to promote a long-term perspective in managing our company,Company, in October 2021, we adopted a stock ownership policy for our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act), including each of our Named Executive Officers. Our stock ownership policy requires each executive officer to acquire and hold a number of shares of our common stock equal in value to a multiple of such executive officer’s annual base salary, in each case, until he or she ceases to be an executive officer. The multiple for our Chief Executive Officer is five times his annual base salary, the multiple for our Chief Financial Officer is three times his annual base salary, and the multiple for our other executive officers is two times his or her annual base salary. For purposes of our stock ownership policy, we only count directly and beneficially owned shares, including shares purchased through our 2019 ESPP or 401(k) Plan, if applicable, shares underlying vested RSUs that are held or deferred, shares received on exercise of stock options and shares held in trust. Each executive officer has until the last day of our fiscal year that includes the fifth anniversary of the later of his or her designation as an executive officer and the effective date of the policy to obtain the required ownership level. The Compensation Committee may make exceptions in situations where the stock ownership policy would cause a severe hardship.
Compensation Recovery “Clawback” Policy
In October 2021, our Board of Directors adopted a policy that providesproviding for the recovery of all or any portion of an executive officer’s incentive-based compensation in the event that we restate our financial results and such executive officer’s fraud or intentional misconduct contributed to the need for such restatement, and the compensation earned by such executive officer exceeds what could have been earned by such executive officer based on the restated financial results, in all cases as determined by our Compensation Committee.
In September 2023, our Board adopted a restated clawback policy providing for the recovery of all or any portion of an executive officer’s incentive-based compensation in the event that we restate our financial results in compliance with the final rules promulgated by the SEC under Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, Rule 10D-1 and the NYSE. The policy applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other executive officers, (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act), including each of our Named Executive Officers. The recovery period extends up to three most recently-completed fiscal years prior to the date of the restatement, with respect to incentive-based compensation granted or received after the effective date of the policy.SEC rules.
Anti-hedging Policy
Under our Insider Trading Policy, we prohibit our employees, including our Named Executive Officers, and Board members, from hedging the risk associated with ownership of shares of BILL common stock and other securities.
Anti-pledging Policy
Under our Insider Trading Policy, we prohibit our employees, including our Named Executive Officers, and Board members from pledging any BILL securities as collateral for a loan, except as specifically approved by our General Counsel.Chief Compliance Officer.

Tax and Accounting Considerations
Our Compensation Committee takes the applicable tax and accounting requirements into consideration in designing and overseeing our executive compensation program.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), limits the amount that we may deduct from our federal income taxes for remuneration paid to our Named Executive Officers (other than our Chief Financial Officer) to $1 million dollars per executive officer per year. “Grandfather” provisions
In approving the amount and form of compensation for the Code provide exceptions from this deduction limitationNamed Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee considers all elements of our cost of providing such compensation, including the potential impact of Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee believes, however, that our stockholder interests are best served by retaining its discretion and flexibility in awarding compensation, even though some compensation awards may apply to certainresult in non-deductible compensation arrangements, including certain grants of stock options and certain restricted stock units, that were entered into before we became a publicly-traded company and through November 2, 2017. Except for compensation attributable to the exercise of most options granted prior to November 2, 2017 under the “grandfather provisions,” compensation in excess of $1 million will likely not be deductible.expense.
No Tax Reimbursement of Parachute Payments and Deferred Compensation
We did not provide any executive officer, including any Named Executive Officer, with a “gross-up” or other reimbursement payment for any tax liability that he or she might owe as a result of the application of Sections 280G, 4999, or 409A of the Code during 2020, and we have not agreed and are not otherwise obligated to provide any Named Executive Officer with such a “gross-up” or other reimbursement.
Accounting Treatment
We account for stock compensation in accordance with the authoritative guidance set forth in FASB ASC Topic 718, which requires companies to measure and recognize the compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors over the period during which the award recipient is required to perform services in exchange for the award. We determine both the grant date fair value and the service period based on applicable accounting standards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables included in this proxy statement.Proxy Statement.
401(k) Plan
We sponsor a retirement plan intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the Code, containing a cash or deferred feature that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code. With certain exceptions, all employees who have attained at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate in the plan on the first day of the month occurring after the employee satisfies the eligibility requirements. Participants may make pre-tax contributions to the plan from their eligible earnings up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit on contributions under the Code. Participant contributions are held in trust as required by law. No minimum benefit is provided under the plan. An employee’s interest in his or her deferralsdeferral contributions is 100% vested when contributed. We may make discretionary matching contributions, which contributions will be subject to vesting conditions.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification Matters
Our restated certificate of incorporationCharter contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL. Consequently, our directors are not personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our restated certificate of incorporationCharter and our restated bylawsBylaws require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent not prohibited by the DGCL and allow us to indemnify other employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL. Subject to certain limitations, our restated bylawsBylaws also require us to advance expenses incurred by our directors and officers for the defense of any action for which indemnification is required or permitted, subject to very limited exceptions.
43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have entered, and intend to continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, and certain of our other employees. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors, officers, and key employees for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by these individuals in any action or proceeding arising out of their service to us or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which these individuals provide services at our request. Subject to certain limitations, our indemnification agreements also require us to advance expenses incurred by our directors, officers, and key employees for the defense of any action for which indemnification is required or permitted.
We believe that these provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, restated bylaws,Bylaws, and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, and key employees. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our restated certificate of incorporationCharter and restated bylawsBylaws or in these indemnification agreements may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or Securities Act(Securities Act), may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling us, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plans
Certain of our directors and executive officers have adopted written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans, in which they have contracted with a broker to buy or sell shares of our common stock on a periodic basis. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the director or executive officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from them. The director or executive officer may amend or terminate the plan in specified circumstances.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Change in Control and Severance Agreements
We have entered into change in control and severance agreements or CIC agreements,(CIC agreements) with each of our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, which provide for the following benefits if the executive is terminated by us without cause (as such term is defined in the CIC agreement) outside of a change in control (as such term is defined in the CIC agreement) in exchange for a customary release of claims: (i) a lump sum severance payment of six months base salary for our executive officers (eighteen months for our Chief Executive Officer and twelve months for our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Commercial Officer), (ii) a lump sum payment equal to the executive officer’s then-current target bonus opportunity on a pro-rated basis,prorated for the months served during the bonus year, and (iii) payment of premiums for continued medical benefits (or equivalent cash payment if applicable law so requires) for the same period of time as the salary severance.
If the executive officer’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by the executive for good reason (as such term is defined in the CIC agreement) within the three months preceding a change in control (but after a legally binding and definitive agreement for a potential change of control has been executed) or within the twelve months following a change in control, the CIC agreements provide the following benefits in exchange for a customary release of claims: (i) a lump sum severance payment of twelve months base salary and 100% of target bonus for our executive officers (eighteen months base salary and 150% target bonus for our Chief Executive Officer), (ii) a lump sum payment equal to the executive officer’s then-current target bonus

opportunity on a pro-rated basis,prorated for the number of months served out of the bonus year, (iii) 100% acceleration of any then-unvested equity awards (unless provided otherwise in a

performance-based equity award agreement), and (iv) payment of premiums for continued medical benefits (or equivalent cash payment if applicable law so requires) for the same period of time as the salary severance. Each CIC agreement is in effect for three years, with automatic renewals unless notice is given by us to the executive officer three months prior to expiration.
We believe that these arrangements are designed to align the interests of our Named Executive Officers and our stockholders when considering our long-term future. The primary purpose of these arrangements is to keep our most senior executive officers focused on pursuing all corporate transaction activity that is in the best interests of our stockholders regardless of whether those transactions may result in their own job loss. All payments, benefits and acceleration of vesting of outstanding equity awards in the event of a change in control of BILL are payable only if there is a subsequent loss of employment by a Named Executive Officer (a so-called “double-trigger” arrangement). The benefits under the change in control and severance agreements supersede all other cash severance and vesting acceleration arrangements.
On January 28, 2022, Mr. Clayton, ChiefFiscal 2023 PSUs
In the event that a change in control had occurred while the performance period for the fiscal 2023 PSUs was on-going, the Non-GAAP Net Income Threshold would be disregarded, and the Core Revenue Officer, notifiedperformance metric would be deemed achieved at the Companygreater of his decisiontarget level or actual performance (as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion) as of such date. The resulting achieved PSUs would then vest as to resign from1/3rd on the Company effective February 18, 2022. He ceasedregular quarterly vesting date following the change in control and 2/3rds over eight quarters thereafter, subject to servethe executive’s continued service. Such post-change in control time-vesting PSUs would be eligible for the double trigger acceleration set forth in the roleCIC Agreement described above.
CFO December 2021 PSU
While Mr. Rettig’s PSU granted in December 2021, which is subject to three increasing stock price goals,remains outstanding and eligible to be achieved. In the event of a change in control, the stock price goals shall be determined by reference to the price per share paid in such change in control. In the case of achievement between two stock price goals based on such per share price paid in a change in control, the achievement and resulting number of shares eligible to vest will be interpolated. Any resulting achieved shares will be subject to time-based vesting, and such post-change in control time-vesting PSUs would be eligible for the double trigger acceleration set forth in the CIC Agreement described above.

The following table provides information concerning the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided in the circumstances described above for each of our Named Executive Officers. Except where otherwise noted, payments and benefits are estimated assuming that the triggering event took place on June 30, 2022,2023, and the price per share of our common stock was the closing price on the NYSE as of June 30, 2022,2023, which was $109.94.$116.85. There can be no assurance that a triggering event would produce the same or similar results as those estimated below if such event occurs on any other date or at any other price, or if any other assumption used to estimate potential payments and benefits is not correct. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any potential payments or benefits, any actual payments and benefits may be different.

In identifying our median employee, we chose June 30, 2022,2023, which is the last day of our most recently completed fiscal year, as the determination date. The pay ratio disclosure rules allow companies to exclude non-U.S. employees from the median employee calculation if non-U.S. employees in a particular jurisdiction account for five percent (5%) or less of the company’s total number of employees. We applied this de minimis exemption when identifying the median employee by excluding 8384 non-U.S. employees as follows: 80 employees in Australia.Australia, three employees in Canada and one employee in New Zealand. After taking into account the de minimis exemption, 2,1252,388 full-time employees basedwho were employed by us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) in the United StatesU.S., including employees on a leave of absence, on the determination date were considered for identifying the median employee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

To identify our median employee, we used a consistently applied compensation measure consisting of annual base salary earned, actual bonuses earned, and grant date fair value of equity awards granted to our employees, excluding our CEO, for the 12-month period from July 1, 2021,2022, through June 30, 2022.2023. This compensation measure was consistently applied to all employees included in the calculation and reasonably reflects the annual compensation of our employees. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustment. We did not include any independent contractors or other non-employee workers in our employee population.
Using this approach, we selected the individual at the median of our employee population. We then calculated annual total compensation for this employee using the same methodology we use for our named executive officers as set forth in our Fiscal 2023 Summary Compensation Table. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our Fiscal 20222023 Summary Compensation Table.
SEC rules and guidance provide significant flexibility in how companies identify the median employee, and each company may use a different methodology and make different assumptions particular to that company. As a result, and as the SEC explained when it adopted these rules, in considering the pay-ratio disclosure, stockholders should keep in mind that the rules were not designed to facilitate comparisons of pay ratios among different companies, even companies within the same industry, but rather were designed to allow stockholders to better understand and assess each particular company’s compensation practices and pay-ratio disclosures.

The ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our managementindependent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2024 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. In the event that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not ratified by our stockholders, the Audit Committee will review its future selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Further, the Audit Committee may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if, in the committee’s sole discretion, the committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.
We expect representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to be present at the Annual Meeting and they will be given an opportunity to make a statement at the Annual Meeting if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees and Services
We regularly review the services and fees from our independent registered public accounting firm. These services and fees are also reviewed with our Audit Committee annually. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will periodically rotate, and EY periodically rotated, the individuals responsible for our audit.
In addition to performing the audit of our consolidated financial statements, EY provided various other services during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2023. Our Audit Committee determined that EY’s provision of these services, which are described below, did not impair EY’s independence from us.

“All other fees” consisted of fees for work performed in connection with assessments of certain of our compliance programs.
Audit Committee Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Our Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and other services. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.
All of the services relating to the fees described in the table above were approved by our Audit Committee.

Changes in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On September 5, 2023, our Audit Committee dismissed EY as our independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal was not related to any disagreements with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
Other than as described below, the reports of EY on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and during the interim period through September 5, 2023 there were (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K between us and EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, any of which, if not resolved to EY’s satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference thereto in their reports, and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Our Audit Committee has also discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required2022, previously reported in Item 9A of Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Our Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with our Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its independence from us.
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, our Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, for filingfiled with the SEC.SEC on May 26, 2023, which related to our insufficient testing, documentation, and evidence retained to conclude on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of certain information systems and applications within the quote-to-cash process as of June 30, 2022, and was subsequently remediated as of June 30, 2023, as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 29, 2023. This reportable event was discussed among the Audit Committee and EY. EY has been authorized by us to respond fully to the inquiries of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, concerning this reportable event.
SubmittedWe previously provided EY with a copy of the above disclosures as included in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 7, 2023, and requested EY to furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether EY agreed with the statements made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of EY’s letter, dated September 7, 2023, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to that Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
On September 5, 2023, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. During our two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and during the interim period through September 5, 2023, neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding any of the matters described in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE
APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION
OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
We urge stockholders to read the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 34 of this Proxy Statement, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narrative, beginning on page 54, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the policies and procedures articulated in the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our Named Executive Officers reported in this Proxy Statement has contributed to the Company’s recent and long-term success.
In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we are providing stockholders with an opportunity to make a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. This non-binding advisory vote is commonly referred to as a “Say on Pay” vote, and will be determined by the Auditvote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present or represented at the Annual Meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on the proposal. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that our stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and narrative discussion and the other related disclosures.”
As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, our Board and Compensation Committee,

OUR ANNUAL MEETING AND GENERAL INFORMATION
INFORMATION ABOUT SOLICITATION AND VOTING
The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board on behalf of BILL Holdings, Inc. for use at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held virtually at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BILL2023 on Thursday, December 7, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and this Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting, and the accompanying form of proxy were first distributed and made available on the Internet to stockholders on or about October 26, 2023.
INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS
In accordance with SEC rules, we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to stockholders. Consequently, most stockholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send these stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials with instructions for accessing the proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement and annual report, and voting via the Internet. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also provides information on how stockholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. We believe this means of delivery makes the proxy distribution process more efficient and less costly, and helps in conserving natural resources.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING
Record Date; Quorum
Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on October 12, 2023 (the Record Date), will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 107,189,979 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. For ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder for any purpose relating to the Annual Meeting by written request via email to our Corporate Secretary at corpsec@hq.bill.com. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will also be available for examination on the Internet through the virtual web conference during the Annual Meeting.
The holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This presence is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you are present and vote at the Annual Meeting or if you have properly submitted a proxy.
Voting Rights; Required Vote
In deciding all matters at the Annual Meeting, as of the close of business on the Record Date, each share of common stock represents one vote. We do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors. You may vote all shares owned by you as of the Record Date, including (1) shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record and (2) shares held for you as the beneficial owner in street name through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee.
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., then you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a stockholder of record, you may vote at the Annual Meeting or vote by telephone, through the Internet or, if you request or receive paper proxy materials, by filling out and returning the proxy card. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held as of the Record Date.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Nominee. If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account with a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of the shares held in street name. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account, and your nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing it on how to vote your shares. However, the organization that holds your shares is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. Because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from the organization that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Each director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, which means that the four nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. You may vote “FOR ALL NOMINEES,” “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY FOR ALL NOMINEES” or vote “FOR ALL EXCEPT” one or any of the nominees you specify. Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2024 will be obtained if the number of votes cast “FOR” the proposal at the Annual Meeting exceeds the number of votes “AGAINST” the proposal. Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation paid by us to our Named Executive Officers (as defined herein) as disclosed in this Proxy Statement will be obtained if the number of votes cast “FOR” the proposal at the Annual Meeting exceeds the number of votes “AGAINST” the proposal.
Abstentions; Withholding Authority; Broker Non-Votes
Under Delaware law, abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. At the Annual Meeting, abstentions and proxies marked “withhold authority” will have no effect on any of the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting.
Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted either because (i) the broker did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner or (ii) the broker lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “routine” matters without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. Absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “non-routine” matters. At our Annual Meeting, only the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2024 is considered a routine matter. The proposal for the election of directors and any other proposals presented at the Annual Meeting are non-routine matters. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, and have no effect on the outcome of the matters voted upon. Accordingly, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.
Recommendations of Our Board on Each of the Proposals Scheduled to be Voted on at the Annual Meeting
Our Board recommends that you vote “FOR ALL NOMINEES” of the Class I directors named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 1), “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2024 (Proposal No. 2), and “FOR” the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 3). None of our directors or current executive officers has any substantial interest in any matter to be acted upon, other than the nominated directors’ interests in the elections to office under Proposal No. 1, and the Named Executive Officers’ (René Lacerte, Raj Aji, Loren Padelford and John Rettig) interests with respect to Proposal No. 3.
Voting Instructions; Voting of Proxies

vote by mail—if you request or receive a paper proxy card and voting instructions by mail, complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and promptly return it in the prepaid envelope provided. Your signed and dated proxy card must be received by the day prior to the Annual Meeting in order to be voted.
Votes submitted by telephone or through the Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 6, 2023. Submitting your proxy whether by telephone, through the Internet or, if you request or receive a paper proxy card, by mail will not affect your right to vote should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting. If you are not the stockholder of record, please refer to the voting instructions provided by your nominee to direct your nominee on how to vote your shares. Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure that your vote is counted.
All proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified. If you sign a physical proxy card and return it without instructions as to how your shares should be voted on a particular proposal at the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board stated above.
If you do not vote and you hold your shares in street name, and your broker does not have discretionary power to vote your shares, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes” (as described above) and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval of the proposals. However, shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum for the Annual Meeting.
If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. To make certain all of your shares are voted, please follow the instructions included on each proxy card and vote each proxy card by telephone, through the Internet or by mail. If you requested or received paper proxy materials and you intend to vote by mail, please complete, sign and return each proxy card you received to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
Expenses of Soliciting Proxies
We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies, including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy and any other information furnished to stockholders. Following the original mailing of the soliciting materials, we and our agents, including directors, officers and other employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies by mail, email, telephone, facsimile, by other similar means or in person. Following the original mailing of the soliciting materials, we will request brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders to forward copies of the soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, we, upon the request of the record holders, will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. If you choose to access the proxy materials or vote through the Internet, you are responsible for any Internet access charges you may incur.
Revocability of Proxies
A stockholder of record who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by:
delivering to our Corporate Secretary by mail a written notice stating that the proxy is revoked;
signing and delivering a proxy bearing a later date;
voting again by telephone or through the Internet; or
attending and voting at the Annual Meeting (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).
Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to revoke a proxy, you must contact that firm to revoke any prior voting instructions.
Voting Results
Voting results will be tabulated and certified by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting. The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final results will be tallied by the inspector of elections and filed with the SEC in a current report on Form 8-K within four business days of the Annual Meeting.

“Householding”-Stockholders − Stockholders Sharing the Same Last Name and Address
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to implement a delivery procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, multiple stockholders who reside at the same address may receive a single copy of our annual report and other proxy materials, including the Notice of Internet Availability, unless the affected stockholder has provided contrary instructions. This procedure reduces printing costs and postage fees, and helps in conserving natural resources.
This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” our annual report and other proxy materials, including the Notice of Internet Availability. A single Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, a single set of our annual report and other proxy materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. Stockholders may revoke their consent at any time by contacting Broadridge by calling 1-866-540-7095 or writing to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York, 11717.
Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, our annual report and other proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of any of those documents was delivered.

APPENDIX A: RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This Proxy Statement includes references to financial measures not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (GAAP), including Non-GAAP Net Income and EBITDA Less Float.
These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with, and are not alternatives to financial measures prepared in accordance with, GAAP. There are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool, and non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of financial results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure has been provided in the financial statement table below, and stockholders are encouraged to review the reconciliation.
