Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On November 30, 2021, Noreen Allen informed Bandwidth Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bandwidth,” “we,”, “our,” or “us”), that she has decided to step down as Chief Marketing Officer of Bandwidth. Ms. Allen’s last day will be January 14, 2021, and she has offered to work with Bandwidth in an effort to help with the search for her successor and ensure an orderly transition. Ms. Allen’s resignation is not due to any disagreement with Bandwidth, its board of directors or management, or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

On November 30, 2021, Bandwidth’s Chief Executive Officer, David Morken, sent the following announcement to all Bandmates:

After almost 10 years as our Chief Marketing Officer, Noreen Allen is stepping down to start a new chapter. She will stay through Jan. 14 to help with the search for her successor.

Noreen shared with me that her decision came down to family. Many of you know Noreen comes from a big family, and she is moving back to her hometown outside of Philadelphia to be close to them. She’s had a great 20-year run in the Raleigh tech community.

Noreen has been a steadfast partner to me in many key stages of Bandwidth’s growth. She built our revenue marketing and lead generation engine, and she was instrumental in defining our brand and positioning as a CPaaS provider in the lead-up to our IPO. Just as importantly, Noreen helped elevate Bandwidth in the Triangle community by representing us in her many board memberships and support for great causes.

She leaves us with a strong global Marketing team, with fresh talent and a new strategy and org structure that sets us up to win in 2022 and beyond.

A big part of who we are today is due to Noreen’s ideas and leadership. Please be sure to reach out to her and wish her well.

The information set forth under this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
