THIS NOTICE WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT. IT IS NOT A LAWYER SOLICITATION. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a hearing will be held on September 14, 2021, at 2:30 p.m., before the Honorable John G. Koeltl at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007 to determine whether: (1) the proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) of the above-captioned Litigation as set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement dated April 16, 2021 (“Stipulation”)¹ for $95,000,000 in cash should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable and adequate; (2) the Judgment as provided under the Stipulation should be entered dismissing the Litigation with prejudice; (3) to award Lead Plaintiff’s Counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses out of the Settlement Fund (as defined in the Notice of Proposed Settlement of Class Action (“Notice”), which is discussed below) and, if so, in what amount; and (4) the Plan of Allocation should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable and adequate.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a fluid situation that creates the possibility that the Court may decide to conduct the Settlement Hearing by video or telephonic conference, or otherwise allow Class Members to appear at the hearing by phone or video conference, without further written notice to the Class. In order to determine whether the date and time of the Settlement Hearing have changed, or whether Class Members must or may participate by phone or video conference, it is important that you monitor the Court’s docket and the Settlement website, www.TableauSecuritiesLitigation.com, before making any plans to attend the Settlement Hearing. Any updates regarding the Settlement Hearing, including any changes to the date or time of the hearing or updates regarding in-person, telephonic or video conference appearances at the hearing, will also be posted to the Settlement website, www.TableauSecuritiesLitigation.com. Also, if the Court requires or allows Class Members to participate in the Settlement Hearing by telephone or video conference, the phone

number for accessing the telephonic conference or the website for accessing the video conference will be posted to the Settlement website, www.TableauSecuritiesLitigation.com.

IF YOU PURCHASED OR ACQUIRED TABLEAU CLASS A COMMON STOCK FROM FEBRUARY 5, 2015 THROUGH FEBRUARY 4, 2016, INCLUSIVE, YOUR RIGHTS ARE AFFECTED BY THE SETTLEMENT OF THIS LITIGATION.

To share in the distribution of the Settlement Fund, you must establish your rights by submitting a Proof of Claim and Release form by mail (postmarked no later than August 24, 2021) or electronically (no later than August 24, 2021). Your failure to submit your Proof of Claim and Release by August 24, 2021 will subject your claim to rejection and preclude you from receiving any recovery in connection with the Settlement of this Litigation. If you purchased or acquired Tableau Class A common stock from February 5, 2015 through February 4, 2016, inclusive, and did not previously request exclusion from the Class in response to the Notice of Pendency of Class Action provided in June 2020, you will be bound by the Settlement and any judgment and release entered in the Litigation, including, but not limited to, the Judgment, whether or not you submit a Proof of Claim and Release.
