The CEO's total reported compensation of $3,262,222 is modest for a chief executive of a $608 million market-cap Communication Services company, and prior-year say-on-pay support was approximately 99%, indicating strong shareholder satisfaction with the program structure. The pay program is heavily weighted toward equity — including performance stock awards tied to meaningful stock-price hurdles (requiring 50% to 125% increases from the grant date before any portion of the performance awards vests) — which aligns executive rewards directly with shareholder outcomes and satisfies the requirement that the majority of senior executive pay be variable and performance-linked. No individual pay-level or pay-for-performance red flags are triggered under the policy.

EY has audited Nextdoor since 2018 (approximately 8 years), well below the 25-year tenure threshold that would raise independence concerns; in fiscal year 2025 EY charged $3,555,109 in core audit fees and zero in non-audit or tax fees, meaning the non-audit fee ratio is 0%, far below the 50% threshold that would trigger a AGAINST vote; no material financial restatements were disclosed; and EY is a Big 4 firm fully adequate for a company of this size.
