Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. Resignation of Chief Financial Officer

AppFolio, Inc. (the "Company") previously announced that its Chief Financial Officer, Ida Kane, notified its Board of Directors (the "Board") of her plans to depart the company effective as of a future date to be mutually determined. The Company and Ms. Kane have agreed that Ms. Kane's departure will be effective as of June 4, 2021 (the "Separation Date"). Ms. Kane's departure is not the result of any disagreement with respect to the Company's operations, policies or practices.

In connection with Ms. Kane's departure, the Board has approved, and the Company and Ms. Kane have entered into, a Separation Agreement and General Release (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Ms. Kane will be eligible to receive: (i) existing employee benefits and payment of base salary through the Separation Date ($22,500); (ii) aggregate additional cash payments up to $1,205,000, which include a short-term incentive award for the period of January 1 through June 30, 2021 ($195,000), a lump-sum severance payment ($1,000,000) and reimbursement for broker fees to exercise her vested nonqualified stock options (up to $10,000); (iii) COBRA premiums for employee benefits in effect as of the Separation Date until the earlier of (a) the approximately 18-month period ending December 31, 2022, or (b) the date on which Ms. Kane first becomes eligible to obtain group health insurance through another employer; and (iv) an extension of the period during which Ms. Kane may exercise her vested nonqualified stock options until the earlier of January 6, 2023 or the expiration date applicable to such options.

Ms. Kane's receipt of the aforementioned payments and other benefits is generally conditioned upon the effectiveness of a general release of claims in favor of the Company (and certain affiliates and related parties) that is included in the Agreement, as well as her compliance with certain confidentiality and other standard covenants included in the Agreement and other typical agreements to which she remains subject. The Agreement also includes a general release of claims in favor of Ms. Kane subject to an exception for claims relating to any unlawful conduct by Ms. Kane, as well as a mutual non-disparagement covenant.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2021.
