       PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

      

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for each of the last five completed calendar years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our named executive officers, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been reported in our Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”), as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in our SCT. The table below summarizes compensation values reported in our SCT, as well as the adjusted values required in this section for the applicable years presented. For our named executive officers other than our principal executive officer (“non-PEO NEOs”), compensation is reported as an average of compensation for our non-PEO NEOs.

The primary objective of our executive compensation program is to drive long-term stockholder value. Compensation for our named executive officers is heavily weighted toward equity-based compensation, which is directly tied to our long-term value and growth and aligns the interests of our executives with our stockholders. For additional information regarding our compensation philosophy, please refer to the section entitled “Compensation Discussion & Analysis.”

In 2024, we did not use any financial performance measures to link compensation “actually paid” to Company performance in a manner that can act as a “Company-Selected Measure” under the relevant rules. As such, we do not have a “Company-Selected Measure.” We therefore do not provide a tabular list of such performance measures.

Reflects compensation amounts reported in our SCT for our Block Head and PEO, Jack Dorsey, for the respective years shown. Mr. Dorsey was our PEO for all applicable years presented. Mr. Dorsey did not receive or hold any equity-based awards or participate in any defined benefit or actuarial pension plans, for any of the years presented and, therefore, no amounts have been deducted or added to calculate the Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) to the PEO.

(2)

Non-PEO NEOs include (a) Amrita Ahuja, Brian Grassadonia, Alyssa Henry, Jacqueline Reses, and Sivan Whiteley for the year ended December 31, 2020; (b) Amrita Ahuja, Brian Grassadonia, Alyssa Henry, and Sivan Whiteley for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022; (c) Amrita Ahuja, Brian Grassadonia, Alyssa Henry, and Chrysty Esperanza for the year ended December 31, 2023; and (d) Amrita Ahuja, Brian Grassadonia, Owen Britton Jennings, and Dhanji R. Prasanna for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(3)

Dollar amounts reported do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our non-PEO NEOs during the applicable year. We calculate CAP in accordance with the methodology prescribed under SEC guidance to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and as shown in the adjustment table below. Average CAP for our non-PEO NEOs is calculated by, as described in more detail under footnote (6) below, (a) taking the average SCT total compensation, less (b) the grant date fair value of equity granted during

the year, plus (c) the following: (i) the year-end fair value of outstanding, unvested equity awards granted during the applicable year; (ii) for equity awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested at the end of the year, the difference between the year-end fair value and the immediately prior year-end fair value; (iii) the vesting date fair value of any equity awards that were granted and vested in the same covered fiscal year; and (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vested during the applicable year, the difference between the fair value as of the vesting date and the immediately prior year-end fair value, less (d) the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year for awards granted in prior years that were forfeited during the covered fiscal year. We have not paid dividends historically and do not sponsor any pension arrangements; thus no adjustments are made for these items.

(4)

For purposes of calculating the average CAP to our non-PEO NEOs, compensation related to equity awards was remeasured. For RSUs, the fair values and the change in fair values were determined by the closing price of our common stock at each applicable year-end date or, in the case of vested awards, the stock price on vesting date. For stock options, a Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model (“BSM model”) was used as of the applicable year-end date or, in the case of vested options, the vesting date. The BSM model requires us to make assumptions and judgments regarding the variables used in the calculation, including the expected remaining term, expected volatility, and the expected risk-free rate. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair value of equity awards were materially consistent with those used to calculate the grant date fair value of such award and those used to calculate our share-based compensation expense, as disclosed in the “Share-based Compensation” section of Note 16, Stockholders’ Equity of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. For stock options, the fair value amounts of stock options for 2024 reflected in the table above were calculated using the “historical” method for determining the expected term of the options under the BSM model. For stock option fair value amounts for prior years, we used the “simplified method” for determining the expected term of the options under the BSM model. There is no material difference in the reported years as a result of the change in methodology.

(5)

Changes in the market price of our Class A common stock following the date of grant of an award can impact CAP to our non-PEO NEOs. For the portion of the average CAP that is based on year-end stock prices, the following prices from the last trading day of the applicable year were used: (a) $62.56 for 2019; (b) $217.64 for 2020; (c) $161.51 for 2021; (d) $62.84 for 2022; (e) $77.35 for 2023; and (f) $84.99 for 2024.

Award Timing Disclosure	12 Months Ended
Award Timing Disclosure	Dec. 31, 2024
Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items]
Award Timing MNPI Disclosure	The compensation committee has adopted an Equity Award Grant Policy that provides for the timing of grants of annual equity awards to our executive officers that is consistent with our annual compensation cycle. Pursuant to this practice, the compensation committee or its subcommittee approves the intended dollar value of annual equity awards to be granted to our executive officers during its first regularly scheduled meeting held during the first quarter of our fiscal year. The compensation committee or its subcommittee then approves the grant of the annual equity awards to our executive officers, including the vesting schedule and other terms and conditions applicable thereto, during its regularly scheduled meeting in the second quarter of our fiscal year. The number of shares to be awarded as part of the annual grants is generally determined by dividing the intended award value by (i) in the case of options, the Black Scholes valuation of an option as of the date of grant and (ii) in the case of RSUs, the average trading price for a share of the Company’s Class A common stock over the 30 trading days preceding the grant date. The dates for these committee meetings are typically set more than a year in advance on a fairly consistent cadence year over year. Our compensation committee also has delegated authority to our management equity committee, which during 2024 consisted of our Block Head and People Lead, to make equity grants within predetermined guidelines to employees and consultants who are not our Section 16 officers or members of our management equity committee. Awards to our non-employee directors are granted automatically pursuant to our outside director compensation policy. Occasionally, we may also grant equity awards outside our annual grant cycle, including for new hires, promotions, or other special circumstances. The timing of any equity grants to executive officers in connection with any such new hires, promotions, or other non-routine grants is tied to the event giving rise to the award (such as an executive officer’s commencement of employment or promotion effective date). In all cases, the timing of grants of equity awards, including stock options, is intended to occur independent of the release of any material non-public information, and we do not otherwise time the grant of equity-based awards to take advantage of the release of material non-public information or time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive equity-based compensation. During 2024, we did not grant stock options to any named executive officers during the period(s) beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing of any Company periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of any Company Form 8-K that disclosed any material non-public information.
