Five9 reshuffles board, Mariner shifts to Class II

SAN RAMON, CA - Five9, Inc. (NASDAQ:FIVN), a leader in cloud contact center software with annual revenue of $1.04 billion and a market capitalization of $2.3 billion, announced a reorganization of its board of directors in a recent SEC filing. According to InvestingPro data, the company currently trades at $30.89 per share and appears undervalued based on its Fair Value analysis. The company confirmed that Jack Acosta, a Class II director and Chair of the Audit Committee, will not seek re-election at the upcoming annual meeting on May 21, 2025. This leadership transition comes as InvestingPro analysis shows 8 analysts have revised their earnings upwards for the upcoming period, with net income expected to grow this year.

To balance the classes within the board, Five9 has moved a current director from Class III to Class II. Jonathan Mariner, who resigned as a Class III director on March 19, 2025, was immediately reappointed as a Class II director. His term will expire at the annual meeting, where he is set to be nominated for re-election along with other Class II directors, excluding Acosta.

Mariner will continue his role on both the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. Following the annual meeting, Maria Walker is slated to take over as chair of the Audit Committee. The reappointment does not alter Mariner’s current compensation or equity awards, and he will not receive a new grant for his continued service.

The board’s decision will reduce the total number of directors to nine and align the number of directors in Class II to three. Five9’s indemnification agreement with Mariner remains effective, ensuring protection under Delaware law for liabilities arising from his service.

This move comes as part of Five9’s ongoing efforts to streamline its governance structure. The information is based on a press release statement filed with the SEC.
