PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

2018 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

PROCEDURAL MATTERS

This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are furnished in connection with solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on May 18, 2018 and any postponements, adjournments or continuations thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held at the Westin San Francisco Airport, located at 1 Old Bayshore Hwy., Millbrae, California 94030, on Friday, May 18, 2018 at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time. This proxy statement, the accompanying form of proxy card and our 2017 annual report are first being mailed on or about April 25, 2018 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. We use the terms “RingCentral,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” in this proxy statement to refer to RingCentral, Inc., a Delaware corporation. RingCentral’s principal executive offices are located at 20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California 94002.

The information provided in the “question and answer” format below is for your convenience only and is merely a summary of the information contained in this proxy statement. You should read this entire proxy statement carefully.

What matters am I voting on?

You will be voting on:

How does the board of directors recommend I vote on these proposals?

The board of directors recommends a vote:

Will there be any other items of business on the agenda?

If any other items of business or other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, your proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named on the proxy card with respect to those items of business or

1

other matters. The persons named in the proxy card intend to vote the proxy in accordance with their best judgment. Our board of directors does not intend to bring any other matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, and we are not currently aware of any matters that may be properly presented by others for action at the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote?

Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock, as of the close of business on April 13, 2018, the record date, may vote at the Annual Meeting. We refer to the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock collectively as the common stock in this proxy statement. As of the record date, we had 66,760,463 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 11,904,332 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. In deciding all matters at the Annual Meeting, each holder of our Class A common stock will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Class A common stock held on the record date, and each holder of Class B common stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of Class B common stock held as of the record date. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote as a single class on all matters described in this proxy statement for which your vote is being solicited. No shares of our preferred stock were outstanding as of the record date. We do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors.

Registered Stockholders. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and this proxy statement was provided to you directly by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Street Name Stockholders. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the proxy statement was forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares. Beneficial owners are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

However, since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker’s procedures for obtaining a legal proxy. If you request a printed copy of the proxy materials by mail, your broker, bank or other nominee will provide a voting instruction card for you to use.

How do I vote?

There are four ways to vote:

Can I change my vote?

Yes. You can change your vote or revoke your proxy any time before the Annual Meeting by:

2

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our board of directors. The persons named in the proxy have been designated as proxies by our board of directors. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instruction of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors as described above. If any matters not described in the proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date as well, unless you have properly revoked your proxy instructions, as described above.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of the aggregate voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for the meeting to be properly held under our bylaws and Delaware law. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum at the meeting. A proxy submitted by a stockholder may indicate that all or a portion of the shares represented by the proxy are not being voted (“stockholder withholding”) with respect to a particular matter. Similarly, a broker may not be permitted to vote stock (“broker non-vote”) held in street name on a particular matter in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of the stock. See “How may my brokerage firm or other intermediary vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?” The shares subject to a proxy that are not being voted on a particular matter because of either stockholder withholding or broker non-vote will count for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions are also counted in the determination of a quorum. If there is no quorum, a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting to a later date.

How many votes are needed for approval of each matter?

3

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting?

The board of directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. All expenses associated with this solicitation will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokers or other nominees for reasonable expenses that they incur in sending these proxy materials to you if a broker, bank or other nominee holds your shares.

How may my brokerage firm or other intermediary vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?

Brokerage firms and other intermediaries holding shares of common stock in street name for customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker will have discretion to vote your shares on our sole “routine” matter—the proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Your broker will not have discretion to vote on (i) the election of directors or (ii) the stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, which are “non-routine” matters, absent direction from you.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within RingCentral or to third parties, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, or to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Will members of the board of directors attend the Annual Meeting?

We encourage, but do not require, our board members to attend the Annual Meeting. Those that do attend will be available to answer appropriate questions from stockholders.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to that Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the proxy materials and 2017 annual report to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs, and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy materials and 2017 annual report to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy, or, if you are receiving multiple copies, to request that RingCentral only send a single copy of the proxy materials and 2017 annual report, stockholders may contact us as follows:

Stockholders who hold shares in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization to request information about householding.

What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?

Stockholder Proposals

Our bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement. Our bylaws provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting is business that is (i) specified in our proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors, or (iii) properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting who has delivered timely written notice to our Corporate Secretary, which notice must contain the information specified in our bylaws. To be timely for our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, our Corporate Secretary must receive the written notice at our principal executive offices:

In the event that we hold our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary date of the 2019 annual meeting, then notice of a stockholder proposal that is not intended to be included in our proxy statement must be received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before such annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the following two dates:

If a stockholder who has notified us of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting does not appear to present his or her proposal at such meeting, we are not required to present the proposal for a vote at such meeting.

Nomination of Director Candidates

You may propose director candidates for consideration by our nominating and corporate governance committee. Any such recommendations should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for membership

In addition, our bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual meeting of stockholders. To nominate a director, the stockholder must provide the information required by our bylaws. In addition, the stockholder must give timely notice to our Corporate Secretary in accordance with our bylaws, which, in general, require that the notice be received by our Corporate Secretary within the time period described above under “Stockholder Proposals” for stockholder proposals that are not intended to be included in our proxy statement.

Availability of Bylaws

A copy of our bylaws may be obtained by accessing RingCentral’s filings on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

Under the rules of the NYSE, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors within a specified period of the completion of its initial public offering. In addition, the rules of the NYSE require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of the NYSE, a director is independent only if our board of directors makes an affirmative determination that the director has no material relationship with us.

Our board of directors undertook a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of each director. The determination of our board of directors was based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.

With respect to Mr. Thygesen, our board of directors specifically considered that Mr. Thygesen is President, Americas at Google Inc. (though he is not an executive officer at Google Inc. or its parent company, Alphabet Inc.) and the terms and value of the search engine optimization/search engine marketing agreement we have with Google Inc. as well as the suite of Google apps and services that we license from Google Inc. Our board of directors has concluded that our relationship with Google Inc. is not a material relationship that would impede the exercise of independent judgment by Mr. Thygesen. Our board of directors has determined that all of the members of our board of directors, except our CEO, Mr. Shmunis, are “independent” as defined in the applicable NYSE rules and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

Leadership Structure

Mr. Shmunis currently serves as both Chairman of our board of directors and CEO. Our board of directors believes that the current board leadership structure, coupled with a strong emphasis on board independence, provides effective independent oversight of management while allowing the board and management to benefit from Mr. Shmunis’ leadership, company specific experience and years of experience as an executive in the technology industry. Serving on our board of directors and as CEO since our founding in 1999, Mr. Shmunis is best positioned to identify strategic priorities, lead critical discussion and execute our strategy and business plans. Mr. Shmunis possesses detailed in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing us. Independent directors and management sometimes have different perspectives and roles in strategy development. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside of our company, while the CEO brings company specific experience and expertise. The board of directors believes that Mr. Shmunis’ combined role enables strong leadership, creates clear accountability and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to stockholders.

Lead Independent Director

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that one of our independent directors should serve as a lead independent director at any time when the Chairman is not independent. Because our CEO, Mr. Shmunis, is our Chairman, our board of directors appointed Mr. Theis to serve as our lead independent director. Our lead independent director presided over periodic meetings of our independent directors, served as a liaison between our Chairman and the independent directors and performed such additional duties as our board of directors otherwise determined and delegated.

Board Meetings and Committees

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the board of directors held four meetings (including regularly scheduled and special meetings), and acted by unanimous written consent one time. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the board of directors and the committees of which he was a member. Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our board of directors at annual meetings of stockholders, we encourage but do not require our directors to attend. Four of our directors attended our 2017 annual meeting.

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors may establish other committees from time to time. The charters for each of our committees are available on our website at ir.ringcentral.com.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting process and the audit of our financial statements and assists our board of directors in monitoring our financial systems and our legal and regulatory compliance. Our audit committee is responsible for, among other things:

The audit committee has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties and the authority to retain counsel and advisors to fulfill its responsibilities and duties.

Our audit committee is currently comprised of Kenneth Goldman, Michelle McKenna, Robert Theis and Neil Williams, who is the chairperson of the committee. Our board of directors has designated Kenneth Goldman, Michelle McKenna, Robert Theis and Neil Williams as “audit committee financial experts,” as defined under the rules of the SEC implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

11

Our board of directors has considered the independence and other characteristics of each member of our audit committee and has concluded that the composition of our audit committee meets the requirements for independence under the current requirements of the NYSE and SEC rules and regulations. Audit committee members must satisfy additional independence criteria set forth under Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In order to be considered independent for purposes of the Rule 10A-3, an audit committee member may not, other than in his capacity as a member of the audit committee, accept consulting, advisory or other fees from us or be an affiliated person of us. Each of the members of our audit committee qualifies as an independent director pursuant to Rule 10A-3.

Our audit committee had four meetings in 2017 and did not act by unanimous written consent in 2017.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee oversees our compensation policies, plans and programs. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

The compensation committee also has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties and the authority to retain counsel and advisors to fulfill its responsibilities and duties.

Our compensation committee is currently comprised of Michelle McKenna, Allan Thygesen and Robert Theis, who is the chairperson of the committee. Our board of directors has determined that each member of the compensation committee is an independent director for compensation committee purposes as that term is defined in the applicable rules of the NYSE, is a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(d)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Our compensation committee had four meetings in 2017 and acted by unanimous written consent two times in 2017.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee, or nominating committee, oversees and assists our board of directors in reviewing and recommending corporate governance policies and nominees for election to our board of directors and its committees. The nominating committee is responsible for, among other things:

12

The nominating committee also has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties. It also has the authority to retain counsel and advisors to fulfill its responsibilities and duties.

Our nominating committee is currently comprised of Kenneth Goldman, Robert Theis and Michelle McKenna, who is the chairperson of the committee. Each of the nominating committee members is an independent director for nominating committee purposes as that term is defined in the applicable rules of the NYSE.

Our nominating committee had four meetings in 2017 and did not act by unanimous written consent in 2017.

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees

The nominating committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. In its evaluation of director candidates, the nominating committee will consider the current size and composition of the board of directors and the needs of the board of directors and the respective committees of the board of directors. Some of the qualifications that the nominating committee considers include, without limitation, issues of character, integrity, judgment, diversity of experience, independence, area of expertise, corporate experience, length of service, potential conflicts of interest and other commitments. The nominating committee requires the following minimum qualifications to be satisfied by any nominee for a position on our board of directors, (1) the highest personal and professional ethics and integrity, (2) proven achievement and competence in the nominee’s field and the ability to exercise sound business judgment, (3) skills that are complementary to those of the existing members of our board of directors, (4) the ability to assist and support management and make significant contributions to the company’s success, and (5) an understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities that are required of a member of our board of directors, and the commitment of time and energy necessary to diligently carry out those responsibilities. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the nominating committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem, from time to time, are in our and our stockholders’ best interests. The nominating committee may also take such measures that it considers appropriate in connection with its evaluation of a director candidate, including candidate interviews, inquiry of the person or persons making the recommendation or nomination, engagement of an outside search firm to gather additional information, or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the nominating committee, the board of directors or management.

Although the board of directors does not maintain a specific policy with respect to board diversity, the board of directors believes that the board should be a diverse body, and the nominating committee considers a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. In making determinations regarding nominations of directors, the nominating committee may take into account the benefits of diverse viewpoints. The nominating committee also considers these and other factors as it oversees the annual board of director and committee evaluations. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, the nominating committee recommends to the full board of directors the director nominees for selection.

Stockholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors

The nominating committee will consider candidates for director recommended by stockholders holding at least one percent (1%) of the fully diluted capitalization of the company continuously for at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of the submission of the recommendation, so long as such recommendations comply with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of our company and applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the SEC. The committee will evaluate such recommendations in accordance with its charter, our bylaws, our policies and procedures for director candidates, as well as the regular nominee criteria described above. This process is designed to ensure that the board of directors includes members with diverse backgrounds, skills and experience, including appropriate financial and other expertise relevant to our business. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination should contact our General Counsel or our Legal Department in writing. Such recommendations must include the information about the candidate, relevant qualifications, a signed letter from the candidate confirming willingness to serve, a statement of support by the recommending stockholder, information regarding any relationships between the candidate and the company and evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of company stock. The committee has discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.

A stockholder of record can nominate a candidate directly for election to the board of directors by complying with the procedures in Section 2.4 of our bylaws. Any eligible stockholder who wishes to submit a nomination should review the requirements in the bylaws on nominations by stockholders. Any nomination should be sent in writing to the company, attention of the Secretary, General Counsel or the Legal Department, at RingCentral, Inc., 20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California 94002. Notice must be received by us no earlier than February 9, 2019 and no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on March 11, 2019 for our 2019 annual meeting. The notice must state the information required by Section 2.4(ii)(b) of our bylaws and otherwise must comply with applicable federal and state law. The Secretary of the Company will provide a copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws upon request in writing from a stockholder.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders and other interested parties wishing to communicate with our board of directors or with an individual member or members of our board of directors may do so by writing to our board of directors or to the particular member or members of our board of directors, and mailing the correspondence to our General Counsel at RingCentral, Inc., 20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California 94002, Attn: General Counsel. Each communication should set forth (i) the name and address of the stockholder, as it appears on our books, and if the shares of our common stock are held by a nominee, the name and address of the beneficial owner of such shares, and (ii) the number of shares of our common stock that are owned of record by the record holder and beneficially by the beneficial owner.

Our General Counsel, in consultation with appropriate members of our board of directors as necessary, will review all incoming communications and, if appropriate, all such communications will be forwarded to the appropriate member or members of our board of directors, or if none is specified, to the Chairman of our board of directors. This procedure does not apply to stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, as amended.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of our directors and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable to us in general. In addition, we have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our chief executive and senior financial officers. The Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are available on our website at ir.ringcentral.com. We expect that any amendment to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website. The inclusion of our website in this prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this prospectus.

Risk Management

Risk is inherent with every business, and we face a number of risks, including strategic, financial, business and operational, legal and compliance, and reputational. We have designed and implemented processes to manage risk in our operations. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the company faces, while our board of directors, as a whole and assisted by its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are appropriate and functioning as designed.

Our board of directors believes that open communication between management and the board of directors is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our board of directors meets with members of the senior management team at regular board meetings, where, among other topics, they discuss strategy and risks facing the company.

While our board of directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, our board committees assist the board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. The audit committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in the areas of significant accounting and other financial risk exposure, and discusses with management and the independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The audit committee also reviews management’s assessment of the key risks facing us, including the key controls it relies on to mitigate those risks. The audit committee also monitors certain key risks at each of its regularly scheduled meetings, such as risk associated with internal control over financial reporting and liquidity risk. The nominating committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risk associated with board organization, membership and structure, and corporate governance. The compensation committee assesses risks created by the incentives inherent in our compensation philosophy and practices. Finally, the full board of directors reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of reports from the management team, receives reports on all significant committee activities at each regular meeting, and evaluates the risks inherent in significant transactions.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our compensation committee is an officer or employee of our company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

Our board of directors has approved a compensation program for non-employee directors to attract, retain and reward its qualified directors and align the financial interests of the non-employee directors with those of our stockholders.

The compensation committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving the compensation paid to non-employee directors. The compensation committee reviews at least annually the type and form of compensation paid to our non-employee directors, which includes a market assessment and analysis by our independent compensation consulting firm, Compensia, Inc., or Compensia, regarding practices at comparable companies. As part of this analysis, Compensia reviews non-employee director compensation trends and data from companies comprising the same executive compensation peer group used by the compensation committee in connection with its review of executive compensation. Based on this review, the compensation committee has made adjustments to the non-employee director compensation program, most recently in March 2018, in an effort to provide competitive compensation opportunities for our non-employee directors.

15

Pursuant to this compensation program, each non-employee director receives cash and equity compensation for board services as described below. In addition, we reimburse our non-employee directors for expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings as well as continuing director education.

Cash Compensation

Our non-employee directors are entitled to receive the following cash compensation for their services:

All cash payments to non-employee directors are paid quarterly in arrears.

Equity Compensation

Our non-employee directors are entitled to receive the following equity compensation:

On the first trading day on or after June 1 of each year, each non-employee director will be granted an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) having an award value (as determined based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant) of $235,000, which award will vest in full on the date that is the earlier of: (x) the next annual meeting of stockholders and (y) the one year from the date of grant, subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a service provider through such vesting date.

In addition, each person who becomes a non-employee director will receive an award of RSUs having an award value (as determined based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant) equal to (i) $235,000 multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months between the date the non-employee director becomes a member of the board and the first trading day on or after June 1 following such date and the denominator of which is 12. The date of grant for this award will be the date the non-employee director joins the board, or, if such date occurs during a Company blackout period, the fifth trading day following the expiration of such Company blackout period and any special blackout period in effect, subject to the director remaining on the board through the grant date. This grant will vest in full on the date that is one year from the date of grant, subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a service provider through such vesting date.

In the event of a change in control, 100% of the non-employee director’s outstanding and unvested equity awards will immediately vest and, if applicable, become exercisable. In no event will an award granted under the policy be greater than the non-employee director limits set forth in our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”).

The following table shows, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, certain information with respect to the compensation of all of our non-employee directors.

PROPOSAL TWO

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee of the board of directors has appointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), independent registered public accountants, to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2017, KPMG served as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Notwithstanding its selection and even if our stockholders ratify the selection, our audit committee, in its discretion, may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of RingCentral and its stockholders. At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018. Our audit committee is submitting the selection of KPMG to our stockholders because we value our stockholders views on our independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate governance. Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting, and they will have an opportunity to make statements and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG, the board of directors may reconsider the appointment.

Professional Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The following table presents fees for professional audit services and other services rendered to our company by KPMG for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017.

Audit Committee Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Consistent with requirements of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) regarding auditor independence, our audit committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, our audit committee has established a policy for the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services and other services.

All non-audit services were pre-approved by our audit committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by KPMG, was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its

18

auditing functions. The audit committee’s pre-approval policy provides for the pre-approval of audit, audit-related and tax services specifically described by the audit committee on an annual basis, and unless a type of service is pre-approved under the policy, it will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. The policy authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”

THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG LLP

PROPOSAL THREE

ADVISORY APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“the Dodd-Frank Act”) enables stockholders to approve, on an advisory or non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation as a whole. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or any specific named executive officer, but rather the overall compensation of all of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement.

The Say-on-Pay vote is advisory, and therefore is not binding on us, the compensation committee or our board of directors. The Say-on-Pay vote will, however, provide information to us regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the compensation committee will be able to consider when determining executive compensation for the remainder of the current fiscal year and beyond. Our board of directors and our compensation committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will endeavor to communicate with stockholders to better understand the concerns that influenced the vote, consider our stockholders’ concerns and the compensation committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

We believe that the information provided in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement, and in particular the information discussed in “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Philosophy and Objectives” beginning on page 24 below, demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure management’s interests are aligned with our stockholders’ interests to support long-term value creation. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the compensation discussion and analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, and other related disclosure.”

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”

THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following Report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” and should not be deemed “filed” and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in future filings with the SEC, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act.

The audit committee is a committee of the board of directors comprised solely of independent directors as required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and rules of the SEC. The audit committee operates under a written charter approved by the board of directors, which is available on the Investor Relations portion of our web site at ir.ringcentral.com. The composition of the audit committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the audit committee, as reflected in its charter, are intended to be in accordance with applicable requirements for corporate audit committees. The audit committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter and the audit committee’s performance on an annual basis.

With respect to the company’s financial reporting process, the management of the company is responsible for (1) establishing and maintaining internal controls and (2) preparing the company’s consolidated financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, is responsible for auditing these financial statements and for auditing RingCentral’s internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and to issue a report thereon. It is the responsibility of the audit committee to oversee these activities. It is not the responsibility of the audit committee to prepare or certify our financial statements or guarantee the audits or reports of the independent auditors. These are the fundamental responsibilities of management and our independent registered public accounting firm. In the performance of its oversight function, the audit committee has:

Based on the audit committee’s review and discussions with management and KPMG, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2018.

Respectfully submitted by the members of the audit committee of the board of directors:

2017 Executive Compensation Highlights

Consistent with our compensation philosophy and objectives, the compensation committee took the following actions with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers for 2017:

24

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The overall objective of our executive compensation program is to tie executive compensation to the performance of our company. Our executive compensation is designed with a mix of short-term and long-term components, cash and equity elements and fixed and contingent payments in proportions that we believe provide appropriate incentives to retain and motivate our executive officers, including our named executive officers, and other senior executives and management team and help to achieve success in our business.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. Our executive compensation program seeks to achieve this objective by ensuring that we can:

Based on this philosophy, we have designed our executive compensation program to encourage the achievement of strong overall financial results, particularly revenue growth and Non-GAAP operating margin.

Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

We endeavor to maintain compensation policies and practices that are consistent with sound governance standards. We believe it is important to provide competitive compensation packages and a high-quality work environment in order to hire, retain and motivate key personnel. Our compensation committee evaluates our executive compensation program on an ongoing basis to ensure that it is consistent with our short-term and long-term goals given the nature of the market in which we compete for key personnel. The following policies and practices were in effect during 2017:

25

Compensation-Setting Process

Compensation Committee

Each year, our compensation committee conducts a review of our executive compensation program and related policies and practices. At the beginning of each year, the compensation committee assesses the prior year performance and establishes bonus targets and metrics for the current year and annual equity award grants for our executive officers, including the named executive officers. In addition, the compensation committee reviews and determines the base salary of our named executive officers. In determining the compensation of the members of our executive team, including our named executive officers, for 2017, our compensation committee reviewed the compensation arrangements, including base salary, target bonus and equity compensation, of our executive officers and considered an analysis of competitive market data presented by the compensation committee’s advisor, Compensia, a national compensation consulting firm that provides executive compensation advisory services, as well as our overall strategic business plan. Market data was used primarily as a reference point for measuring the competitive marketplace, and was one factor among others, used by the compensation committee in determining executive compensation. Other factors the compensation committee considers in making its executive compensation decisions include: input from our CEO and CAO (except regarding their own compensation), past individual performance and expected future performance, vesting status and value of existing equity awards, and internal pay equity based on the impact of business and performance.

Role of Management

In carrying out its responsibilities, the compensation committee works with members of our management, including our CEO and CAO. Typically, the CEO and CAO assist the compensation committee in developing the annual bonus plans based on metrics that contain attainable target levels that are achievable through the commitment and leadership of our executive officers. Our CEO provides recommendations on compensation matters for our employees in general and all of his direct reports, including our executive officers. The CEO, CAO and CFO usually attend compensation committee meetings. Our CEO, CAO and CFO do not participate in discussions or decisions regarding their own compensation and are not present when their own compensation is determined.

26

Role of Compensation Consultant

Compensia has been engaged by and serves as the compensation committee’s compensation consultant. Compensia reviews the compensation arrangements of the members of our executive team and generally assists the compensation committee in analyzing executive officer and employee compensation, and the compensation of non-employee members of our Board. Compensia provides support for the compensation committee by attending meetings of the compensation committee, providing recommendations regarding the composition of our compensation peer group, analyzing compensation data and formulating recommendations for executive and non-employee director compensation. Our compensation committee also works directly with Compensia from time to time to obtain additional information or clarity regarding data provided by Compensia, and also requests specific analyses to assist the compensation committee in the design and structure of our executive and non-employee director compensation programs.

The compensation committee has determined that the work of Compensia does not give rise to any “conflict of interest” in accordance with Item 407(e)(3)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

Competitive Positioning

In setting executive compensation, our compensation committee uses publicly-available data on the compensation policies and practices of comparable publicly-traded companies as a reference to understand the competitive market for executive talent. With respect to the 2017 compensation of the members of our executive team, including the named executive officers, our compensation committee reviewed an analysis prepared by Compensia of competitive market data derived from a group of public software companies within a specific selection criteria, which included, but was not limited to, revenue between approximately $179 million and $717 million for the four quarters ending September 30, 2016 and market capitalizations of between approximately $550 million and $5 billion, and the companies in the following compensation peer group (which was approved by our compensation committee in December 2016):

In selecting the companies that comprised the compensation peer group, the compensation committee focused primarily on public companies in the same or similar country or countries of operation, industry group and financial comparability, which include revenue and market capitalization. The companies that comprise the peer group are our competitors in the labor and capital markets, and have similar growth and performance potential.

This competitive market data was used as a reference in the course of our compensation committee’s review and evaluation of our executive compensation program and decisions regarding executive compensation in 2017. The competitive market data is useful to understand market practice and to provide a general context for its decisions. The compensation committee determines the nature and the extent of the use of market data, which varies by executive. Actual compensation is based on individual performance, experience, responsibilities and other criteria selected by our compensation committee. While the compensation committee does not target any component of our executive compensation program to a particular level versus the competitive market, our compensation committee generally refers to a range of the 50th to the 75th market percentile when making its executive compensation decisions. The competitive market data was not used to benchmark the compensation for our executive officers, including our named executive officers.

27

Compensation Overview

Our executive compensation program for 2017 consisted of the following principal compensation elements:

We are committed to providing appropriate cash and equity incentives to compensate our executive officers in a manner that our compensation committee determines is reasonable and appropriate to motivate and retain key talent.

Base Salary

Base salary is a customary, fixed element of compensation intended to attract and retain our executive officers and compensate them for their day-to-day efforts. The compensation committee reviews base salary every year, as well as at the time of a promotion or other change in responsibilities, and considers each executive officer’s performance, prior base salary level, the competitive market data, breadth of role, and the other factors described in the “Compensation Setting Process—compensation committee” section above. The compensation committee does not target base pay at any particular level versus the competitive market data. In 2017, four of our named executive officers received adjustments to base salary to (i) reflect promotions for Messrs. Dhruv, Marlow and Shah, (ii) reflect changes to the competitive market, and (iii) retain our executive officers to grow and expand our business. The base salary changes were effective on April 1, 2017 for all named executive officers including for Mr. Dhruv, whose base salary was changed to $300,000 upon his appointment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company in May 2017.

The following table sets forth the 2017 base salary for each of our named executive officer’s base salary as compared with his or her 2016 base salary.

The actual base salaries paid to our named executive officers during 2017 are set forth in the 2017 Summary Compensation Table below.

Annual Incentive Compensation

The compensation committee establishes annual cash bonus opportunities under our bonus plan (the “Bonus Plan”). Consistent with our historical practices, bonuses for 2017 under the Bonus Plan were designed to motivate and reward our executive officers, including our named executive officers, to perform to the best of their abilities and to achieve our objectives.

Target Cash Incentive Opportunities

In the first half of 2017, the compensation committee reviewed the target cash incentive opportunities of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, taking into consideration each executive officer’s total cash compensation opportunity, the competitive market data with an emphasis generally on the 50th through 75th percentile of total target cash compensation opportunities, breadth of responsibilities and the other factors

28

described in the “Compensation Setting Process—Compensation Committee” section above. In connection with his appointment as our Chief Financial Officer in May 2017, effective April 1, we increased the target cash incentive opportunity for Mr. Dhruv from 75% to 100% which when considered with his base salary, the compensation committee believed provided the appropriate motivational and retention incentives in light of his new position.

The target cash incentive opportunities of our named executive officers for 2017 were:

2017 Bonus Plan Design and Achievement

For the first half of calendar year 2017 (“2017 H1”), there are two quarterly performance periods, ending March 31 and June 30, 2017, and for the second half of 2017 (“2017 H2”), there are two quarterly performance periods, ending September 30 and December 31, 2017. The bonus pool for 2017 H1 and 2017 H2, respectively, under the Bonus Plan would fund based on our achievement against quarterly target levels of the following performance metrics (weighted 50% each): (i) revenues and (ii) Non-GAAP operating margin. These metrics have the following meanings under the Bonus Plan:

For the bonus pool under the Bonus Plan to fund for 2017 H1 and 2017 H2, we had to achieve (i) revenue at least equal to the lowest amount of revenues expected by analyst consensus estimates after we publicly disclosed our guidance for such quarter, and (ii) quarterly Non-GAAP operating margin at least equal to the lowest amount of Non-GAAP operating margin expected by analyst consensus estimates after we publicly disclosed our guidance for such quarter.

For 100% of the bonus pool with respect to revenues for 2017 H1 and 2017 H2 to fund, 100% to 101% of the quarterly revenues target was to be achieved. For each 0.5% of revenues that was achieved above the 101% of the quarterly revenues target, the bonus pool with respect to revenue would be increased by 5%, and for each 0.5% of revenue that was achieved below 100% of the quarterly revenues target, the bonus pool with respect to

29

revenues would be reduced by 5%. For 100% Non-GAAP operating margin for 2017 H1 and 2017 H2 to fund, 100% of the quarterly Non-GAAP operating margin target was to be achieved. For each 0.5% of the Non-GAAP operating margin that was achieved above the quarterly Non-GAAP operating margin target, the bonus pool with respect to Non-GAAP operating margin would be increased by 5% (up to a maximum of 120%), and for each 0.5% of Non-GAAP operating margin that was below the quarterly Non-GAAP operating margin target, the bonus pool with respect to Non-GAAP operating margin would be reduced by 5%.

The following chart sets forth our 2017 quarterly targets against each metric under the Bonus Plan, actual achievement against those targets, and the corresponding percentage payouts to the named executive officer each quarter:

Based upon our actual financial performance as measured against the approved performance metrics and the formula under the Bonus Plan, the payout percentages for each of the four quarters in 2017 were as follows: 96% (Q1), 101.5% (Q2), 105.4% (Q3) and 109.3% (Q4).

The annual cash incentive payments paid to our named executive officers for 2017 are described in the “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation” column of the 2017 Summary Compensation Table.

In December 2017 our compensation committee approved the Selective 2018 Key Employee Equity Bonus Plan (the “Key Employee Bonus Plan”) in which all of our named executive officers will participate for 2018. We implemented the Key Employee Bonus Plan in an effort to further enhance the link between the interests of our executive officers and our stockholders. Under the Key Employee Bonus Plan the named executive officers will receive any quarterly bonus achieved and payable under the Bonus Plan for calendar 2018 in the form of fully vested RSUs granted under the Equity Plan. The number of RSUs each named executive officer will receive will equal the dollar value of the quarterly bonus divided by the lower of the closing price of a share of our common stock (i) on the first trading day of the quarter for which the quarterly bonus is assessed or (ii) on May 14, August 14, November 14 or February 14 following the quarter for which the quarterly bonus is assessed. Each year the compensation committee will consider whether to continue the Key Employee Bonus Plan.

Equity Compensation

We use RSUs to deliver long-term incentive compensation opportunities to our executive officers, including our named executive officers. Consistent with our compensation objectives, we believe this approach helps to ensure that the interests of the members of executive team are aligned with those of our stockholders and that we are able to attract and reward our top talent. In 2017, the compensation committee determined not to grant stock options to our executive officers and to grant only RSUs to management in order to better identify the interests of our executive officers and our stockholders and to reduce our corporate-wide dilution.

The compensation committee does not target equity compensation at any particular level versus the competitive market data, although it uses the range of the 50th percentile to the 75th percentile as a reference point during the course of its deliberations. RSUs serve as a retention tool as they vest based on continued service over time.

RSUs vest 1/16 every three months and become fully vested after four years, in each case, subject to the executive officer’s continued service as of each vesting date. In addition, each named executive officer is entitled to certain vesting acceleration benefits upon qualifying termination in connection with a change in control, as described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below.

30

In 2017, our compensation committee granted equity awards to the members of our executive team to reward them for our strong corporate performance and their individual performance. In determining the size of these awards, the compensation committee took into consideration each executive officer’s current vested and unvested equity holdings, competitive market data, and the other factors described in the “Compensation Setting Process—Compensation Committee” section above.

In connection with his promotion to CFO, Mr. Dhruv was granted an award of 56,000 RSUs.

The compensation committee made the following grants of equity awards to each of the named executive officers during 2017:

The grant date fair values of the equity awards granted to our named executive officers during 2017 are set forth in 2017 Summary Compensation Table and the 2017 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below.

Welfare and Other Employee Benefits

Our executive officers, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the same group insurance and employee benefit plans generally available to our other salaried employees in the U.S. These benefits include medical, dental, vision, and disability benefits and other plans and programs made available to other eligible employees. We have a qualified defined contribution plan under Code Section 401(k) covering eligible employees, including our executive officers. All participants in the plan, including each named executive officer, are eligible to make pre-tax contributions. Effective July 1, 2017, we implemented a company 401(k) plan matching program of 50% of the employee’s contributions up to the lesser of 6% of employee cash compensation and $4,050 per year. All participant 401(k) contributions and earnings, as well as all matching contributions and earnings, are fully and immediately vested.

Perquisites

We do not view perquisites or other personal benefits as a significant component of our executive compensation program. Accordingly, we generally do not provide special plans or programs for our executive officers, including our named executive officers.

All practices with respect to perquisites or other personal benefits will be subject to review and approval by the compensation committee.

Post-Employment Compensation

Our CEO’s employment agreement and agreements with each of our other named executive officers provide for certain payments and benefits in the event of a qualifying termination of employment, including a termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company. We believe that these agreements will enable our named executive officer to maintain their focus and dedication to their responsibilities to help

31

maximize stockholder value by minimizing distractions due to the possibility of an involuntary termination of employment or a termination of employment in connection with a potential change in control of the Company. We also believe that these arrangements further our interest in encouraging retention among our executive officers, including our named executive officers.

In addition, our named executive officers are participants in the Company’s Equity Acceleration Policy which contain provisions providing for double-trigger vesting upon certain changes in control, as described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below. We believe this policy provides important retention incentives for our key contributors through and following a change in control.

Executive Employment Arrangements

The initial terms and conditions of employment for each of our named executive officers are set forth in a written employment agreement. Each of these agreements was approved on our behalf by our board of directors or the compensation committee, as applicable. We develop competitive compensation packages to attract qualified candidates in a highly-competitive labor market. We believe that these arrangements will help the named executive officers maintain continued focus and dedication to their responsibilities to help maximize stockholder value if there is a potential transaction that could involve a change in control of our Company.

Vladimir Shmunis

We entered into an executive employment letter with Mr. Shmunis, our CEO, dated September 13, 2013. Effective April 1, 2017, Mr. Shmunis’ annual base salary was $525,000, and he was eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to 100% of his base salary. The executive employment letter with Mr. Shmunis provides for a three-year employment term, and may be extended by mutual agreement at the end of the term, but either we or Mr. Shmunis may terminate the employment relationship with us at any time.

If prior to the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months after a change of control (such period, the “Change of Control Period”) of the Company, Mr. Shmunis’ employment is terminated without “cause” (excluding by reason of death or “disability”) or he resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the executive employment letter), he will be eligible to receive the following payments and benefits if he timely signs and does not revoke a release agreement with us:

If, within the Change of Control Period, his employment is terminated without cause (excluding by reason of death or “disability”) or he resigns for good reason, he will be entitled to the following payments and benefits if he timely signs and does not revoke a release agreement with us:

In the event any of the amounts provided for under the executive employment letter or otherwise payable to Mr. Shmunis would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and could be subject to the related excise tax, Mr. Shmunis would be entitled to receive either full payment of benefits under the executive employment letter or such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the benefits being

32

subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of after-tax benefits to Mr. Shmunis. The executive employment letter does not require us to provide any tax gross-up payments.

David Sipes

We entered into an executive employment offer letter with Mr. Sipes, our current Chief Operating Officer, dated June 10, 2008, which was subsequently amended on August 11, 2016. The amended executive employment offer letter has no specific term and provides for at-will employment. Effective April 1, 2017, Mr. Sipes’ annual base salary was $351,000, and he will be eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to 100% of his base salary.

In the event we terminate Mr. Sipes’ employment without “cause” (as such term is defined in his offer letter) and excluding by reason of death or disability, he is eligible to receive a cash severance payment equal to three months of his base salary payable in equal installments.

Mr. Sipes is a participant in the Equity Acceleration Policy as described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below.

Mitesh Dhruv

We entered into an executive employment offer letter with Mr. Dhruv, our current Chief Financial Officer, on March 1, 2012, which was subsequently amended on July 28, 2017. The amended executive employment offer letter has no specific term and provides for at-will employment. Effective April 1, 2017, Mr. Dhruv’s annual base salary was $300,000, and he was eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to 100% of his base salary.

On July 28, 2017, Mr. Dhruv was granted an award of 56,000 RSUs under his executive employment offer letter in addition to his annual award described in the “Equity Compensation” section above. The RSUs vest as follows: 1/16th of the shares underlying the RSU Award vest on August 20, 2017, and 1/16th of the shares underlying the RSU Award vest on each quarterly vesting date thereafter, subject to Mr. Dhruv’s continuing to be a service provider on each applicable vesting date.

Under the terms of the executive employment offer letter, in the event we terminate Mr. Dhruv’s employment without “cause” or he voluntarily terminates for “good reason” (with such terms to have the same meanings as in his supplement to offer letter), he is eligible to receive (i) a cash severance payment equal to 12 months of his base salary and (ii) payment by us for up to 12 months of COBRA premiums to continue health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents, in each case, subject to his signing and not revoking a release agreement with us.

Mr. Dhruv is a participant in the Equity Acceleration Policy as described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below.

John Marlow

We entered into an executive employment offer letter with John Marlow, our current Chief Administrative Officer, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, General Counsel and Secretary, dated September 13, 2013. The executive employment offer letter has no specific term and provides for at-will employment. Effective April 1, 2017, Mr. Marlow’s base salary was $345,000, and he will be eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to 60% of his base salary.

In the event we terminate Mr. Marlow’s employment without “cause” (as such term is defined in his offer letter) and excluding by reason of death or disability, he is eligible to receive severance equal to three months of his base salary, payable in three equal monthly installments, subject to his signing and not revoking a release agreement with us.

33

Mr. Marlow is a participant in the Equity Acceleration Policy as described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below.

Praful Shah

We entered into an executive employment offer letter with Mr. Shah, our current Chief Strategy Officer, dated March 31, 2008. The executive employment offer letter has no specific term and provides for at-will employment. Effective April 1, 2017, Mr. Shah’s annual base salary was $315,000, and he was eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to 75% of his base salary.

In the event we terminate Mr. Shah’s employment without “cause” (as such term is defined in his offer letter), he is eligible to receive a cash severance payment equal to six months of his base salary, payable over six months in accordance with our payroll procedures and all stock options that would have vested if he had remained employed by us in the six-month period following such involuntary termination of employment without cause shall become immediately vested and exercisable.

Mr. Shah is a participant in the Equity Acceleration Policy as described in the “Other Change in Control Provisions” section below.

Clyde Hosein

Mr. Hosein resigned as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective as of May 6, 2017. Mr. Hosein entered into a Resignation and Mutual Transition Agreement, effective May 12, 2017, which provided that Mr. Hosein would remain employed in a non-executive role from May 6, 2017 until May 26, 2017 (the “Transition Period”). During the Transition Period the terms of Mr. Hosein’s employment remained the same as the terms of his employment under his executive employment offer letter, signed on August 9, 2013, as amended on July 24, 2015. During the transition period, Mr. Hosein continued to be entitled to his base salary as in effect as of the date of his resignation and Mr. Hosein continued to participate in Company’s employee benefit programs in accordance with their respective terms and conditions. Effective April 1, 2017, Mr. Hosein’s annual base salary was $368,000. Mr. Hosein continued vesting in his outstanding equity awards to purchase shares of our Company’s Class A common stock subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Company’s equity incentive plan and the award agreements. Mr. Hosein was entitled to receive his full achieved bonus for the first fiscal quarter of the Company’s 2017 fiscal year as determined by the Company and payable at the same time as bonuses are paid to the Company’s other executive officers. Mr. Hosein was not entitled to receive any other bonus amounts.

Mr. Hosein was not entitled to any severance or equity acceleration benefits in connection with his resignation under his executive employment offer letter.

Other Change in Control Provisions

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our Equity Acceleration Policy. Our compensation committee approved the Equity Acceleration Policy effective as of July 28, 2017. Pursuant to our Equity Acceleration Policy on a termination of an eligible employee’s employment either (i) by the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) other than for Cause (as defined in the Equity Acceleration Policy or individual participation agreement), death, or Disability (as defined in the Equity Acceleration Policy) or (ii) by the eligible employee for Good Reason (as defined in the Equity Acceleration Policy or individual participation agreement), in either case, during the period beginning 60 days prior to a Change of Control (as defined in the Equity Acceleration Policy) and ending 12 months following a Change of Control, then, subject to the eligible employee’s signing and not revoking a release, the then-unvested shares subject to each of the eligible employee’s then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest and, in the case of equity awards that are stock options and stock appreciation rights, will become exercisable to the extent set forth in the eligible employee’s participation agreement.

34

If any payment or benefit that an eligible employee would receive from the Company or any other party whether in connection with the Equity Acceleration Policy or otherwise would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and could be subject to the related excise tax, the eligible employee would be entitled to receive either full payment of the payments and benefits under or such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of after-tax benefits to the eligible employee.

Each named executive officer, other than Mr. Shmunis, has signed a participation agreement under the Equity Acceleration Policy. The percentage of acceleration of the then-outstanding unvested equity awards for Messrs. Sipes, Dhruv, Marlow and Shah is 100%. The provisions of the participation agreement supersede any double trigger equity acceleration provisions of any offer letter, employment agreement or equity award.

Other Compensation Policies

Equity Award Grant Policy

Our equity award grant policy formalizes our process for granting equity-based awards. Under our equity award grant policy, our board of directors or the compensation committee may grant equity awards at any time. It is our policy to not time equity award grants in relation to the release of material non-public information. Under the policy, the compensation committee has delegated limited authority to a committee consisting of our CEO and a member of the compensation committee to grant equity awards to employees below the level of Vice President and certain other service providers other than the members of our board of directors.

Compensation Recovery Policy

Currently, we have not implemented a policy regarding retroactive adjustments to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to our executive officers and other employees where the payments were predicated upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a financial restatement. We intend to adopt a general compensation recovery, or clawback, policy covering our annual and long-term incentive award plans and arrangements once the SEC adopts final rules implementing the requirement of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Derivatives Trading, Hedging and Pledging Policy

Pursuant to our insider trading policy, our employees, including the members of our executive team and the members of our board of directors, are prohibited from engaging in transactions involving derivative securities or otherwise that would hedge the risk of ownership of our equity securities and from pledging our equity securities as collateral for a loan.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Tax Considerations

We have not provided any of our executive officers with a gross-up or other reimbursement for tax amounts the individual might pay pursuant to Code Sections 280G, 4999 or 409A. Code Sections 280G and 4999 provide that executive officers, directors who hold significant stockholder interests and certain other service providers could be subject to significant additional taxes if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control of our company that exceeds certain limits, and that we or our successor could lose a deduction on the amounts subject to the additional tax. Code Section 409A also imposes significant taxes on the individual in the event that an executive officer, director or other service provider receives “deferred compensation” that does not meet the requirements of Code Section 409A.

Under Code Section 162(m), companies are subject to limits on the deductibility of executive compensation. Deductible compensation is limited to $1 million per year for the CEO and certain of our highly compensated

35

executive officers (collectively “covered employees”). Compensation that is “qualified performance-based compensation” under the Code’s definition is exempt from this limit. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) enacted on December 22, 2017, significantly modified Section 162(m) of the Code. The Act eliminated the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception to the deductibility limitation under Code Section 162(m) for tax years commencing after December 31, 2017. In addition, the Act expands the definition of “covered employee” to include the principal financial officer as well as any employee who has been designated a covered employee for any fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2016. While we cannot predict how the deductibility limit may impact our compensation program in future years, we intend to maintain an approach to executive compensation that strongly links pay to performance. In addition, although we have not adopted a formal policy regarding tax deductibility of compensation paid to our named executive officers, the compensation committee intends to consider tax deductibility under Code Section 162(m) as a factor in its compensation decisions.

Accounting Considerations

We take financial reporting implications into consideration in designing compensation plans and arrangements for the members of our executive team, other employees and members of our board of directors. These accounting considerations include Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC Topic 718”), the standard which governs the accounting treatment of stock-based compensation awards.

Compensation-Related Risk

Our board of directors is responsible for the oversight of our risk profile, including compensation-related risks. Our compensation committee monitors our compensation policies and practices as applied to our employees to ensure that these policies and practices do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk-taking. In cooperation with management, our compensation committee reviewed our 2017 compensation programs. Our compensation committee believes the mix and design of the elements of such programs do not encourage our employees to assume excessive risks and accordingly are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company. We have designed our compensation programs to be balanced so that our employees are focused on both short-term and long-term financial and operational performance. In particular, the weighting towards long-term incentive compensation discourages short-term risk taking. Goals are appropriately set with targets that encourage growth in the business.

Report of the Compensation Committee

The following Report of the Compensation Committee shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” and should not be deemed “filed” and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in future filings with the SEC, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

The compensation committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis provided above. Based on its review and discussions, the compensation committee recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2018.

CEO Pay Ratio

Under SEC rules, we are required to provide information regarding the relationship between the total annual compensation of Mr. Shmunis, our Chief Executive Officer, and the total annual compensation of our median employee (other than Mr. Shmunis). For our last completed fiscal year, which ended December 31, 2017:

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and based upon our reasonable judgment and assumptions. The SEC rules do not specify a single methodology for identification of the median employee or calculation of the pay ratio, and other companies may use assumptions and methodologies that are different from those used by us in calculating their pay ratio. Accordingly, the pay ratio disclosed by other companies may not be comparable to our pay ratio as disclosed above.

The methodology we used to calculate the pay ratio is described below.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of March 10, 2018, for:

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

We have deemed shares of our common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 10, 2018, and shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs within 60 days of March 10, 2018, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the option or the RSUs, respectively, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person. However, we have not treated such shares as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. We have based percentage ownership of our common stock on 66,423,693 shares of our Class A common stock and 12,104,332 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding as of March 10, 2018. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o RingCentral, Inc., 20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California 94002.
