Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Sytse Sijbrandij filed a Form 4 on May 18, 2026 disclosing that he converted all of his GitLab Inc. (the “Company”) Class B common stock into Class A common stock on May 14, 2026. The conversion was not made in connection with a purchase or sale of GitLab stock.
Each share of the Company’s Class B common stock entitles its holder to cast 10 votes per share, compared to one vote per share for the Class A common stock.
The conversion was undertaken by Mr. Sijbrandij for personal tax planning matters and was not the result of any disagreement with the Company. In addition, as previously disclosed, Mr. Sijbrandij entered into a trading plan compliant with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in December of 2025 to help support his personal financial planning needs which executed a transaction on May 18, 2026. Mr. Sijbrandij's position as Executive Chair of the Company's Board of Directors remains unchanged. Mr. Sijbrandij also remains the largest individual shareholder of the Company’s Class A common stock.
