Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain

Officers.

On October 12, 2020, Scott Brown notified the Company of his decision to resign from his position as Chief Revenue Officer of Teradata, effective as of October 30, 2020, having accepted an offer to become president and chief executive officer of a privately-held technology company based in Silicon Valley that does not compete with Teradata. Mr. Brown's resignation is not due to any disagreement with Teradata or any matters relating to the Company's operations, financial statements, internal controls, auditors, policies or practices. Teradata is retaining an executive search firm to assist in the search process for a new chief revenue officer and will consider both internal and external candidates.
