On January 14, 2016, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the board of directors (the "Board") of Workiva Inc. (the "Company") approved and adopted the Workiva Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), effective as of January 14, 2016.

The Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan under which designated eligible participants may elect to defer a portion of their compensation and/or restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted under the Workiva Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "2014 Equity Plan"). Eligible participants are the Company's directors and certain other management or highly compensated employees selected by the Committee. RSUs may be deferred until a specified payment date, the participant’s termination of service with the Company, the participant’s death or disability, or a change in control of the Company, whichever occurs first. RSUs and compensation deferred under the Plan are subject to income tax when distributed from the Plan. The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
