SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON OCTOBER 21, 2020
This proxy statement supplement, dated September 3, 2020, amends and supplements the definitive proxy statement of the Board of Directors of Elastic N.V. (the “Company” or “Elastic”), filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2020 and relating to the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on October 21, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Central European Summer Time, at the Company’s offices at Keizersgracht 281, 1016 ED
Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Officer Transition
On August 28, 2020, Elastic and Kevin Kluge, Senior Vice President of Engineering and a named executive officer of the Company, agreed to modify his role and responsibilities. The Company intends to commence a search for a Chief Product Officer to
oversee its engineering and product functions. Mr. Kluge will remain an employee of Elasticsearch, Inc. and will continue to retain his title of Senior Vice President of Engineering, overseeing a portion of Elastic’s engineering and product
functions. Until the Company appoints a Chief Product Officer, Shay Banon, the Company’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, will oversee the Company’s engineering and product functions, and Mr. Kluge will continue to report to Mr. Banon during this
time.
As a result of the modifications of Mr. Kluge’s role and responsibilities, he will no longer be classified as an “executive officer” of the Company, as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), or as an “officer” of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
