Appointment of Dennis Durkin to the Board of Directors



On August 3, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Smartsheet Inc. (the
"Company"), on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee of the Board, appointed Dennis Durkin as a member of the Board,
effective immediately. Mr. Durkin joins the Board as a Class II director. Mr.
Durkin has also been appointed to serve on the Board's Audit Committee. The
Board has determined that Mr. Durkin satisfies the independence requirements set
forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
the applicable New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") listing standards, is
financially literate, and is considered an "audit committee financial expert" as
defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In
connection with Mr. Durkin's appointment, the Board also approved an increase in
the authorized number of members of the Board from 10 to 11. In accordance with
the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and
Restated Bylaws, and in accordance with his term as a Class II director, Mr.
Durkin's initial term of Board service will expire at the 2023 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders.

Mr. Durkin served as Chief Financial Officer of Activision Blizzard Inc.
("Activision"), an interactive entertainment and gaming corporation, from
January 2019 until his retirement in May 2021. Prior to that, he served as
Activision's Chief Corporate Officer from May 2017 to January 2019, and as Chief
Financial Officer from March 2012 to May 2017. Prior to that, Mr. Durkin held
various leadership positions at Microsoft Corporation, a multinational
technology corporation, from 1999 to 2012, most recently as Corporate Vice
President, and Chief Operating and Financial Officer, of the Interactive
Entertainment Business. Before joining Microsoft Corporation, Mr. Durkin was a
financial analyst at Alex Brown and Company, an investment company. Mr. Durkin
has served on the board of directors of On Holding AG, a performance sportswear
brand, since May 2022. Mr. Durkin holds a B.A. in Government from Dartmouth
College and a M.B.A. from Harvard University. The Company believes that Mr.
Durkin's senior finance executive experience at technology companies qualifies
him to serve on the Board.

In connection with his service as a director, Mr. Durkin will receive the
standard compensation received by non-employee directors, which consists of an
annual cash retainer of $35,000 for his service as a director, which will be
prorated for his first partial service year, and an initial appointment grant of
restricted stock units under the Company's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2018
Plan"), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company's Form S-1/A
filed with the SEC on April 16, 2018, equal to a number of shares calculated
based on the quotient of $300,000 divided by the average daily closing price of
the Company's Class A Common Stock on the NYSE in the 10 trading days ending two
trading days preceding the date of grant (the "Initial Appointment Grant").
One-third of the shares subject to the Initial Appointment Grant will vest on
each of the first three anniversaries following the date of grant so long as Mr.
Durkin serves as a director of the Company through each vesting date. Mr. Durkin
will also receive an annual cash retainer of $10,000 for his service on the
Audit Committee, which will be prorated for his first partial service year.

Mr. Durkin and the Company have entered into an indemnification agreement in

appointed to the Board. There are no family relationships between Mr. Durkin and
