PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

2015 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

PROCEDURAL MATTERS

This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are furnished in connection with solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on June 1, 2015, and any postponements, adjournments or continuations thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held at the Marriott San Mateo Hotel, located at 1770 South Amphlett Boulevard, San Mateo, California 94402, on Monday, June 1, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. PDT. This proxy statement, the accompanying form of proxy card and our 2014 annual report are first being mailed on or about April 29, 2015 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. We use the terms “RingCentral,” “the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” in this proxy statement to refer to RingCentral, Inc., a Delaware corporation. RingCentral’s principal executive offices are located at 20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California 94002.

The information provided in the “question and answer” format below is for your convenience only and is merely a summary of the information contained in this proxy statement. You should read this entire proxy statement carefully.

What matters am I voting on?

You will be voting on:

•

a proposal to amend and restate the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the board of directors (Proposal One);

•

if Proposal One to declassify our board of directors is approved, the election of the five (5) directors nominated by our board of directors and named in the proxy statement (Proposal Two);

•

if Proposal One to declassify our board of director is NOT approved, the election of one Class II director to hold office until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is duly elected and qualified (Proposal Three);

•

a proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2015 (Proposal Four); and

•

any other business that may properly come before the meeting.

How does the board of directors recommend I vote on these proposals?

The board of directors recommends a vote:

•

“FOR” the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the board of directors (Proposal One);

•

if Proposal One to declassify our board of directors is approved, “FOR” the election of the five (5) directors nominated by our board of directors and named in the proxy statement (Proposal Two);

•

if Proposal One to declassify our board of director is NOT approved, “FOR” the nominee for election as a Class II director (Proposal Three); and

•

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2015 (Proposal Four).

Will there be any other items of business on the agenda?

If any other items of business or other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, your proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named on the proxy card with respect to those items of business or other matters. The persons named in the proxy card intend to vote the proxy in accordance with their best judgment. Our board of directors does not intend to bring any other matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, and we are not currently aware of any matters that may be properly presented by others for action at the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote?

Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock, as of the close of business on April 24, 2015, the record date, may vote at the Annual Meeting. We refer to the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock collectively as the common stock in this proxy statement. As of the record date, we had [ ] shares of Class A common stock outstanding and [ ] shares of Class B common stock outstanding. In deciding all matters at the Annual Meeting, each holder of our Class A common stock will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Class A common stock held on the record date, and each holder of Class B common stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of Class B common stock held as of the record date. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote as a single class on all matters described in this proxy statement for which your vote is being solicited. No shares of our preferred stock were outstanding as of the record date. We do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors.

Registered Stockholders. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and this proxy statement was provided to you directly by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Street Name Stockholders. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the proxy statement was forwarded to you by your broker or nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee how to vote your shares. Beneficial owners are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since a beneficial owner

is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker’s procedures for obtaining a legal proxy. If you request a printed copy of the proxy materials by mail, your broker or nominee will provide a voting instruction card for you to use.

How do I vote?

There are four ways to vote:

•

by Internet at www.investorvote.com/RNG, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until 11:59 p.m. on May 31, 2015 (have your proxy card in hand when you visit the website);

•

by toll-free telephone at 1-800-652-VOTE (8683) (have your proxy card in hand when you call);

•

by completing and mailing your proxy card, which shall be received by us no later than May 31, 2015 (if you received printed proxy materials); or

•

by written ballot at the Annual Meeting.

Can I change my vote?

Yes. You can change your vote or revoke your proxy any time before the Annual Meeting by:

•

entering a new vote by Internet or by telephone;

•

returning a later-dated proxy card;

•

notifying the Corporate Secretary of RingCentral, Inc., in writing, at the address listed on the front page; or

•

completing a written ballot in person at the Annual Meeting.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our board of directors. The persons named in the proxy have been designated as proxies by our board of directors. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instruction of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors as described above. If any matters not described in the proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date as well, unless you have properly revoked your proxy instructions, as described above.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of the aggregate voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for the meeting to be properly held under our bylaws and Delaware law. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum at the meeting. A proxy submitted by a stockholder may indicate that all or a portion of the shares represented by the proxy are not

being voted (“stockholder withholding”) with respect to a particular matter. Similarly, a broker may not be permitted to vote stock (“broker non-vote”) held in street name on a particular matter in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of the stock. See “How may my brokerage firm or other intermediary vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?” The shares subject to a proxy that are not being voted on a particular matter because of either stockholder withholding or broker non-vote will count for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions are also counted in the determination of a quorum. If there is no quorum, a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting to a later date.

How many votes are needed for approval of each matter?

•

Proposal One: This proposal to amend and restate the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the aggregate voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Any action other than a vote “for” this proposal, such as a stockholder abstention, a broker non-vote or failure to return a proxy card, will have the same effect as a vote “against” this proposal.

•

Proposals Two and Three: The election of directors requires a plurality vote of the voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast “for” are elected as directors. As a result, any shares not voted “for” a particular nominee (whether as a result of a stockholder abstention or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in such nominee’s favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election. You may vote “for” or “withhold” on each of the nominations for election as a director.

•

Proposal Four: The ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon to be approved. Abstentions are considered votes cast and, thus, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting?

The board of directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. All expenses associated with this solicitation will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokers or other nominees for reasonable expenses that they incur in sending these proxy materials to you if a broker or other nominee holds your shares.

How may my brokerage firm or other intermediary vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?

Brokerage firms and other intermediaries holding shares of common stock in street name for customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker will have discretion to vote your shares on our sole “routine” matter—the proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP. Your broker will not have discretion to vote on the “non-routine” election of directors absent direction from you.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within RingCentral or to third parties, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, or to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Will members of the board of directors attend the Annual Meeting?

We encourage, but do not require, our board members to attend the Annual Meeting. Those that do attend will be available to answer appropriate questions from stockholders.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the proxy materials and 2014 annual report to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs, and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy materials and 2014 annual report to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy, or, if you are receiving multiple copies, to request that RingCentral only send a single copy of the proxy materials and 2014 annual report, stockholders may contact us as follows:

RingCentral, Inc.

Attention: Investor Relations

20 Davis Drive

Belmont, California 94002

Email: ir@ringcentral.com

Stockholders who hold shares in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization to request information about householding.

What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?

Stockholder Proposals

Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at the next annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals in writing to our Corporate Secretary in a timely manner. For a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for our

2016 annual meeting of stockholders, our Corporate Secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal executive offices not later than December 31, 2015. In addition, stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Proposals should be addressed to:

RingCentral, Inc.

Attention: Corporate Secretary

20 Davis Drive

Belmont, California 94002

Email: ir@ringcentral.com

Our bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement. Our bylaws provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting is business that is (i) specified in our proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors, or (iii) properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting who has delivered timely written notice to our Corporate Secretary, which notice must contain the information specified in our bylaws. To be timely for our 2016 annual meeting of stockholders, our Corporate Secretary must receive the written notice at our principal executive offices:

•

not earlier than February 14, 2016; and

•

not later than the close of business on March 15, 2016.

In the event that we hold our 2016 annual meeting of stockholders more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary date of the 2015 annual meeting, then notice of a stockholder proposal that is not intended to be included in our proxy statement must be received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before such annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the following two dates:

•

the 90th day prior to such annual meeting; or

•

the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

If a stockholder who has notified us of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting does not appear to present his or her proposal at such meeting, we are not required to present the proposal for a vote at such meeting.

Nomination of Director Candidates

You may propose director candidates for consideration by our nominating and corporate governance committee. Any such recommendations should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for membership on our board of directors and should be directed to the Corporate Secretary of RingCentral at the address set forth above. For additional information regarding stockholder recommendations for director candidates, see “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance—Stockholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors.”

In addition, our bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual meeting of stockholders. To nominate a director, the stockholder must provide the information required by our bylaws. In addition, the stockholder must give timely notice to our Corporate Secretary in accordance with our bylaws, which, in general, require that the notice be received by our Corporate Secretary within the time period described above under “Stockholder Proposals” for stockholder proposals that are not intended to be included in our proxy statement.

Availability of Bylaws

A copy of our bylaws may be obtained by accessing RingCentral’s filings on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. You may also contact our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices for a copy of the relevant bylaw provisions regarding the requirements for making stockholder proposals and nominating director candidates.

PROPOSAL ONE

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF RINGCENTRAL, INC. TO DECLASSIFY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The board of directors (the “Board”) is proposing to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the terms of office of the directors. The Board regularly reviews the Company’s corporate governance practices. After careful consideration, the Board determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to declassify the Board which will allow the stockholders to vote on the election of the entire Board each year, rather than on a staggered basis as with the current classified board structure. The Board approved the amendment on April 2, 2015 subject to stockholder approval. If this Proposal One is approved by the stockholders, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended and restated in accordance with the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of RingCentral, Inc. attached hereto as Appendix A.

Currently, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation divides Board members into three classes, with the directors in each class being elected for a three-year term. The term of the three classes is staggered so that only one class of directors is nominated for election at any one annual stockholder meeting. The Board has considered the advantages and disadvantages of maintaining a classified board structure and has concluded that an unclassified board is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. There are valid arguments in favor of and in opposition to a classified board structure. Proponents of a classified board structure believe it promotes continuity and stability in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, reducing the Company’s vulnerability to coercive takeover tactics and special interest groups who may not be acting in the best interests of all stockholders, encouraging directors to take a long-term perspective and enhancing the independence of non-management directors by providing them with a longer term of office and insulating them against pressure from management or special interest groups. On the other hand, the Board believes that corporate governance standards have evolved and that many investors and commentators now believe that the election of directors is the primary means for stockholders to influence corporate governance policies and increase the Board’s and management’s accountability to stockholders. Annual elections of directors will provide our stockholders with the opportunity to register their views on the performance of the entire Board each year.

If the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is approved by our stockholders, this will result in the entire Board being elected annually for one-year terms to commence immediately at this Annual Meeting (See Proposal Two). As of April 24, 2015, each of our directors whose term does not expire at this Annual Meeting has tendered his or her resignation. Each resignation is contingent and effective only upon stockholder approval of this Proposal One. If our stockholders do not approve this Proposal One, our Board will remain classified, the contingent resignations will be ineffective, and our stockholders will instead be asked to elect one (1) Class II director at this Annual Meeting (see Proposal Three).

In determining whether to support declassification of the Board, the Board considered the arguments in favor of and against continuation of the classified board structure and determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to declassify the Board.

This summary of the proposed amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of Article VI, Section 6.2(b) and (c) of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation attached as Appendix A, with deletions indicated by strike outs and additions indicated by underlining.

If approved at the annual meeting, we will immediately file the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (and prior to consideration of the proposal to elect directors) so that our Board will then be declassified immediately, and every director will stand for election at this Annual Meeting (and thereafter) for a one-year term.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND AND RESTATE THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF RINGCENTRAL, INC. TO DECLASSIFY THE BOARD.

PROPOSAL TWO

IF PROPOSAL ONE IS APPROVED, TO ELECT FIVE (5) DIRECTORS

PROPOSAL TWO WILL NOT BE ADOPTED IF OUR STOCKHOLDERS DO NOT ADOPT PROPOSAL ONE

General

Our business affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors, which is currently composed of six members; however, we are reducing the number of authorized members to five at this Annual Meeting. Mr. Leone is not standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting, but will continue to serve as a member of our board of directors until the expiration of his current term ending on the date of the Annual Meeting. We acknowledge with gratitude Mr. Leone’s years of service on the board of directors and his invaluable contributions to the company. Of the current six members, five are independent within the meaning of the listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE and after the Annual Meeting, four will be independent.

If our stockholders approve Proposal One at the Annual Meeting, our stockholder will be asked to consider five (5) nominees for election to our board of directors to serve for a one year term until the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. If our stockholders do not approve Proposal One, this Proposal Two will NOT be submitted to a vote of our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, and instead Proposal Three will be submitted in its place.

The following table sets forth the names and certain other information for each of the nominees for election as a director as of March 31, 2015.

General

Our business affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors, which is currently composed of six members; however, we are reducing the number of authorized members to five at this Annual Meeting. Mr. Leone is not standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting, but will continue to serve as a member of our board of directors until the expiration of his current term ending on the date of the Annual Meeting. We acknowledge with gratitude Mr. Leone’s years of service on the board of directors and his invaluable contributions to the company. Of the current six members, five are independent within the meaning of the listing rules of the NYSE, and after the Annual Meeting, four will be independent.

Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of our board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of our company.

The following table sets forth the names and certain other information for the nominee for election as a director and for each of the continuing members of the board of directors as of March 31, 2015 in the event that Proposal One is NOT APPROVED and the Board remains classified.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

Under the rules of the NYSE, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors within a specified period of the completion of its initial public offering. In addition, the rules of the NYSE require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of the NYSE, a director is independent only if our board of directors makes an affirmative determination that the director has no material relationship with us.

Our board of directors undertook a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of each director. The determination of our board of directors was based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director. With respect to Mr. Williams, our board of directors specifically considered that Mr. Williams is the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Intuit Inc. and the terms and value of the fax services sales contract we have with Intuit Inc. Our board of directors has concluded that our relationship with Intuit Inc. was not a material relationship that would impede the exercise of independent judgment by Mr. Williams. Our board of directors has determined that all of the members of our board of directors, except our chief executive officer, Vladimir Shmunis, are “independent” as defined in the applicable NYSE rules and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

Leadership Structure

Mr. Shmunis currently serves as both Chairman of our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our board of directors believes that the current board leadership structure, coupled with a strong emphasis on board independence, provides effective independent oversight of management while allowing the board and management to benefit from Mr. Shmunis’ leadership, company specific experience and years of experience as an executive in the technology industry. Serving on our board of directors and as Chief Executive Officer since our founding in 1999, Mr. Shmunis is best positioned to identify strategic priorities, lead critical discussion and execute our strategy and business plans. Mr. Shmunis possesses detailed in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities, and challenges facing us. Independent directors and management sometimes have different perspectives and roles in strategy development. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside of our company, while the Chief Executive Officer brings company specific experience and expertise. The board of directors believes that Mr. Shmunis’ combined role enables strong leadership, creates clear accountability, and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to stockholders.

Lead Independent Director

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that one of our independent directors should serve as a lead independent director at any time when the Chairman is not independent. Because our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Shmunis, is our Chairman, our board of directors appointed Mr. Leone to serve as our lead independent director. Our lead independent director, Mr. Leone presided over periodic meetings of our independent directors, served as a liaison between our Chairman and the independent directors and performed such additional duties as our board of directors otherwise determined and delegated.

Board Meetings and Committees

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the board of directors held six meetings (including regularly scheduled and special meetings), and did not act by unanimous written consent. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the board of directors and the committees of which he was a member.

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors may establish other committees from time to time. The charters for each of our committees are available on our website at ir.ringcentral.com.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting process and the audit of our financial statements and assists our board of directors in monitoring our financial systems and our legal and regulatory compliance. Our audit committee is responsible for, among other things:

•

appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;

•

pre-approving auditing and permissible non-audit services, and the terms of such services, to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm;

•

reviewing annually a report by the independent registered public accounting firm regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s internal quality control procedures and various issues relating thereto;

•

reviewing and discussing with management and the independent registered public accounting firm our annual and quarterly financial statements and related disclosures;

•

coordinating the oversight and reviewing the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting with both management and the independent registered public accounting firm;

•

establishing policies and procedures for the receipt and retention of accounting related complaints and concerns, including a confidential, anonymous mechanism for the submission of concerns by employees;

•

periodically reviewing legal compliance matters, including securities trading policies, periodically reviewing significant accounting and other financial risks or exposures to our company and reviewing and, if appropriate, approving all transactions between our company or its subsidiaries and any related party (as described in Item 404 of Regulation S-K);

•

periodically reviewing our code of business conduct and ethics;

•

establishing policies for the hiring of employees and former employees of the independent registered public accounting firm; and

•

reviewing the audit committee report required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules to be included in our annual proxy statement.

The audit committee has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties and the authority to retain counsel and advisors to fulfill its responsibilities and duties.

Our audit committee is currently comprised of Michelle McKenna-Doyle, Michael Kourey and Neil Williams, who is the chairperson of the committee. During fiscal year 2014 and part of fiscal year 2015, Bobby Yerramilli-Rao and Rob Theis also served on our audit committee. Mr. Yerramilli-Rao resigned from the audit committee as of March 2015 and Mr. Theis resigned from the audit committee as of April 2015. Our board of directors has designated Neil Williams, Michael Kourey and Michelle McKenna-Doyle as “audit committee financial experts,” as defined under the rules of the SEC implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

Our board of directors has considered the independence and other characteristics of each member of our audit committee and has concluded that the composition of our audit committee meets the requirements for independence under the current requirements of the NYSE and SEC rules and regulations. Audit committee members must satisfy additional independence criteria set forth under Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In order to be considered independent for purposes of the Rule 10A-3, an audit committee member may not, other than in his capacity as a member of the audit committee, accept consulting, advisory or other fees from us or be an affiliated person of us. Each of the members of our audit committee qualifies as an independent director pursuant to Rule 10A-3.

Our audit committee had five meetings in 2014, and acted by unanimous written consent one time in 2014.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee oversees our compensation policies, plans and programs. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

•

reviewing and recommending policies, plans and programs relating to compensation and benefits of our directors, officers and employees;

•

annually reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our chief executive officer;

•

annually evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer in light of such corporate goals and objectives and recommending the compensation of our chief executive officer to the board of directors for its approval;

•

administering our equity compensations plans for our employees and directors; and

•

reviewing for inclusion in our proxy statement the report of the compensation committee required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The compensation committee also has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties and the authority to retain counsel and advisors to fulfill its responsibilities and duties.

Our compensation committee is currently comprised of Michelle McKenna-Doyle, Michael Kourey and Robert Theis, who is the chairperson of the committee. During fiscal year 2014 and part of fiscal year 2015, Douglas Leone also served on our compensation committee, but resigned from the compensation committee as of April 2015. Our board of directors has determined that each member of the compensation committee is an independent director for compensation committee purposes as that term is defined in the applicable rules of the NYSE, is a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(d)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.

Our compensation committee had seven meetings in 2014 and acted by unanimous written consent one time in 2014.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee, or nominating committee, oversees and assists our board of directors in reviewing and recommending corporate governance policies and nominees for election to our board of directors and its committees. The nominating committee is responsible for, among other things:

•

evaluating and making recommendations regarding the organization and governance of our board of directors and its committees and changes to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and stockholder communications;

•

reviewing succession planning for our chief executive officer and other executive officers and evaluating potential successors;

•

assessing the performance of board members and making recommendations regarding committee and chair assignments and composition and size of our board of directors and its committees;

•

recommending desired qualifications for board and committee membership and conducting searches for potential members of our board of directors;

•

evaluating and making recommendations regarding the creation of additional committees or the change in mandate or dissolution of committees;

•

reviewing and making recommendations with regard to our corporate governance guidelines and compliance with laws and regulations; and

•

reviewing and approving conflicts of interest of our directors and corporate officers, other than related party transactions reviewed by the audit committee.

The nominating committee also has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties. It also has the authority to retain counsel and advisors to fulfill its responsibilities and duties.

Our nominating committee is currently comprised of Robert Theis and Michael Kourey, who is the chairperson of the committee. During fiscal year 2014 and part of fiscal year 2015, David Weiden and Douglas Leone also served on our nominating committee. Mr. Leone resigned from our nominating committee as of April 2015 and Mr. Weiden resigned from our board of directors, and from our nominating committee, as of April 2015. Each of the nominating committee members is an independent director for nominating committee purposes as that term is defined in the applicable rules of the NYSE.

Our nominating committee had three meetings in 2014.

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees

The nominating and corporate governance committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. In its evaluation of director candidates, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the current size and composition of the board of directors and the needs of the board of directors and the respective committees of the board of directors. Some of the qualifications that the nominating and corporate governance committee considers include, without limitation, issues of character, integrity, judgment, diversity of experience, independence, area of expertise, corporate experience, length of service, potential conflicts of interest and other commitments. The nominating and corporate governance committee requires the following minimum qualifications to be satisfied by any nominee for a position on our board of directors, (1) the highest personal and professional ethics and integrity, (2) proven achievement and competence in the nominee’s field and the ability to exercise sound business judgment, (3) skills that are complementary to those of the existing members of our board of directors, (4) the ability to assist and support management and make significant contributions to the company’s success, and (5) an understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities that are required of a member of our board of directors, and the commitment of time and energy necessary to diligently carry out those responsibilities. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the nominating and corporate governance committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem, from time to time, are in our and our stockholders’ best interests. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also take such measures that it considers appropriate in connection with its evaluation of a director candidate, including candidate interviews, inquiry of the person or persons making the recommendation or nomination, engagement of an outside search firm to gather additional information, or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the nominating and corporate governance committee, the board of directors or management.

Although the board of directors does not maintain a specific policy with respect to board diversity, the board of directors believes that the board should be a diverse body, and the nominating and corporate governance committee considers a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. In making determinations regarding nominations of directors, the nominating and corporate governance committee may take into account the benefits of diverse viewpoints. The nominating and corporate governance committee also considers these and other factors as it oversees the annual board of director and committee evaluations. After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, the nominating and corporate governance committee recommends to the full board of directors the director nominees for selection.

Stockholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider candidates for director recommended by stockholders holding at least one percent (1%) of the fully diluted capitalization of the company continuously for at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of the submission of the recommendation, so long as such recommendations comply with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of our company and applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the SEC. The committee will evaluate such recommendations in accordance with its charter, our bylaws, our policies and procedures for director candidates, as well as the regular nominee criteria described above. This process is designed to ensure that the board of directors includes members with diverse backgrounds, skills and experience, including appropriate financial and other expertise relevant to our business. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination should contact our General Counsel or our Legal

Department in writing. Such recommendations must include the information about the candidate, relevant qualifications, a signed letter from the candidate confirming willingness to serve, a statement of support by the recommending stockholder, information regarding any relationships between the candidate and the company and evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of company stock. The committee has discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.

A stockholder of record can nominate a candidate directly for election to the board of directors by complying with the procedures in Section 2.4 of our bylaws. Any eligible stockholder who wishes to submit a nomination should review the requirements in the bylaws on nominations by stockholders. Any nomination should be sent in writing to the company, attention of the Secretary, General Counsel or the Legal Department, at RingCentral, Inc., 20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California 94002. Notice must be received by us no earlier than February 14, 2016 and no later than March 15, 2016 for our 2016 meeting. The notice must state the information required by Section 2.4(ii)(b) of our bylaws and otherwise must comply with applicable federal and state law. The Secretary of the Company will provide a copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws upon request in writing from a stockholder.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders and other interested parties wishing to communicate with our board of directors or with an individual member or members of our board of directors may do so by writing to our board of directors or to the particular member or members of our board of directors, and mailing the correspondence to our General Counsel at RingCentral, Inc., 20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California 94002, Attn: General Counsel. Each communication should set forth (i) the name and address of the stockholder, as it appears on our books, and if the shares of our common stock are held by a nominee, the name and address of the beneficial owner of such shares, and (ii) the number of shares of our common stock that are owned of record by the record holder and beneficially by the beneficial owner.

Our General Counsel, in consultation with appropriate members of our board of directors as necessary, will review all incoming communications and, if appropriate, all such communications will be forwarded to the appropriate member or members of our board of directors, or if none is specified, to the Chairman of our board of directors. This procedure does not apply to stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of our directors and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable to us in general. In addition, we have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our chief executive and senior financial officers. The Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are available on our website at ir.ringcentral.com. We expect that any amendment to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website. The inclusion of our website in this prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this prospectus.

Risk Management

Risk is inherent with every business, and we face a number of risks, including strategic, financial, business and operational, legal and compliance, and reputational. We have designed and implemented processes to manage risk in our operations. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the company faces, while our board of directors, as a whole and assisted by its committees, has

responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are appropriate and functioning as designed.

Our board of directors believes that open communication between management and the board of directors is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our board of directors meets with members of the senior management team at regular board meetings, where, among other topics, they discuss strategy and risks facing the company.

While our board of directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, our board committees assist the board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. The audit committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in the areas of significant accounting and other financial risk exposure, and discusses with management and the independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The audit committee also reviews management’s assessment of the key risks facing us, including the key controls it relies on to mitigate those risks. The audit committee also monitors certain key risks at each of its regularly scheduled meetings, such as risk associated with internal control over financial reporting and liquidity risk. The nominating and corporate governance committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risk associated with board organization, membership and structure, and corporate governance. The compensation committee assesses risks created by the incentives inherent in our compensation philosophy and practices. Finally, the full board of directors reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of reports from the management team, receives reports on all significant committee activities at each regular meeting, and evaluates the risks inherent in significant transactions.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our compensation committee is an officer or employee of our company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

In September 2013, our board of directors, after reviewing data provided by our independent compensation consulting firm, Compensia, Inc., or Compensia, regarding practices at comparable companies, adopted a compensation program for non-employee directors to attract, retain and reward its qualified directors and align the financial interests of the non-employee directors with those of our stockholders. Pursuant to this compensation program, each non-employee director will receive cash and equity compensation for board services as described below. We also will continue to reimburse our non-employee directors for expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings as well as continuing director education.

Cash Compensation

Our non-employee directors are entitled to receive the following cash compensation for their services:

•

$25,000 per year for service as a board member;

•

$20,000 per year for service as chair of the audit committee;

•

$10,000 per year for service as chair of the compensation committee;

•

$5,000 per year for service as chair of the nominating and governance committee;

•

$8,000 per year for service as member of the audit committee;

•

$4,000 per year for service as member of the compensation committee; and

•

$2,000 per year for service as member of the nominating and governance committee.

All cash payments to non-employee directors are paid quarterly in arrears.

Equity Compensation

On the date of each annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the first annual meeting following our initial public offering, each non-employee director will be granted an award of options or restricted stock units having an award value of $175,000 (as determined based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant), which award will vest in twelve equal monthly installments beginning on the first monthly anniversary after the grant date, but will vest fully on the date of the next annual meeting held after the date of grant if not fully vested on such date, in each case, subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a service provider through each vesting date. In the event of a change in control, 100% of the non-employee director’s outstanding and unvested equity awards will immediately vest and, if applicable, become exercisable. In no event will the award granted under the policy be greater than the non-employee director limits set forth in our 2013 Plan.

In April 2015, our board of directors, after reviewing data provided by Compensia regarding practices at comparable companies, amended the non-employee director compensation program as set forth below.

Cash Compensation

Our non-employee directors are entitled to receive the following cash compensation for their services:

•

$35,000 per year for service as a board member;

•

$10,000 per for service as lead director;

•

$20,000 per year for service as chair of the audit committee;

•

$12,500 per year for service as chair of the compensation committee;

•

$7,000 per year for service as chair of the nominating and governance committee;

•

$8,000 per year for service as member of the audit committee;

•

$5,000 per year for service as member of the compensation committee; and

•

$3,000 per year for service as member of the nominating and governance committee.

All cash payments to non-employee directors are paid quarterly in arrears.

Equity Compensation

On the first trading day on or after June 1 of each year, each non-employee director will be granted an award of restricted stock units having an award value (as determined based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant) of $200,000, which award will vest in full one-year from the date of grant, subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a service provider through the vesting date.

In addition, each person who becomes a non-employee director will receive an award of restricted stock units having an award value (as determined based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant) equal to (i) $200,000 multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months between the date the non-employee director becomes a member of the board and the first trading day on or after June 1 following such date and the denominator of which is 12. The date of grant for this award will be the date the non-employee director joins the board, or, if such date occurs during a Company blackout period, the first trading following the expiration of such Company blackout period and any special blackout period in effect, subject to the director remaining on the board through the grant date. This grant will vest in full one-year from the date of grant, subject to the non-employee director continuing to be a service provider through each vesting date.

In the event of a change in control, 100% of the non-employee director’s outstanding and unvested equity awards will immediately vest and, if applicable, become exercisable. In no event will an award granted under the policy be greater than the non-employee director limits set forth in our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

The following table shows, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, certain information with respect to the compensation of all of our non-employee directors.

PROPOSAL FOUR

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee of the board of directors has appointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), independent registered public accountants, to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2014, KPMG served as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Notwithstanding its selection and even if our stockholders ratify the selection, our audit committee, in its discretion, may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of RingCentral and its stockholders. At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2015. Our audit committee is submitting the selection of KPMG to our stockholders because we value our stockholders views on our independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate governance. Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting, and they will have an opportunity to make statements and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG, the board of directors may reconsider the appointment.

Audit Committee Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Consistent with requirements of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, regarding auditor independence, our audit committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, our audit committee has established a policy for the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services and other services.

All non-audit services were pre-approved by our Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by KPMG, was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy provides for the pre-approval of audit, audit-related and tax services specifically described by the Audit Committee on an annual basis, and unless a type of service is pre-approved under the policy, it will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. The policy authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG LLP.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The audit committee is a committee of the board of directors comprised solely of independent directors as required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and rules of the SEC. The audit committee operates under a written charter approved by the board of directors, which is available on the Investor Relations portion of our web site at ir.ringcentral.com. The composition of the audit committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the audit committee, as reflected in its charter, are intended to be in accordance with applicable requirements for corporate audit committees. The audit committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter and the audit committee’s performance on an annual basis.

With respect to the company’s financial reporting process, the management of the company is responsible for (1) establishing and maintaining internal controls and (2) preparing the company’s consolidated financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, is responsible for auditing these financial statements. It is the responsibility of the audit committee to oversee these activities. It is not the responsibility of the audit committee to prepare or certify our financial statements or guarantee the audits or reports of the independent auditors. These are the fundamental responsibilities of management and our independent registered public accounting firm. In the performance of its oversight function, the audit committee has:

•

reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and KPMG;

•

discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; and

•

received the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with KPMG its independence.

Based on the audit committee’s review and discussions with management and KPMG, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2015.

Respectfully submitted by the members of the audit committee of the board of directors:

Compensation of Executive Officers

We are committed to providing appropriate cash and equity incentives to our management, our other key employees and intend to compensate our executive officers in a manner consistent with a group of public companies that our compensation committee determines is appropriate for compensation-setting purposes and to retain key and top talent. Our compensation committee, in consultation with Compensia, the compensation committee’s independent compensation advisor, has reviewed the compensation arrangements, including salary, bonus and equity compensation, of our executive officers from time to time, and makes adjustments, as it believes appropriate.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation

In February 2014, our board of directors, in consultation with our CEO and management team, approved a fiscal 2014 bonus opportunity under the Bonus Plan for making cash performance incentive awards to our executive officers, including our named executive officers.

For each quarter of fiscal 2014, the bonus pool under the Bonus Plan would fund based on our achievement against quarterly target levels of the following performance objectives (weighted 50% each): (i) revenues (positive), and (ii) operating margin (negative). The bonus pool under the Bonus Plan funds for each of these quarters based on our achievement against quarterly target levels of the following performance objectives (weighted 50% each): (i) revenues and (ii) operating margin.

For the bonus pool under the Bonus Plan to fund for a given quarter, we had to achieve (i) quarterly revenues at least equal to the lowest amount of revenues in the range forecast that we publicly disclosed for such quarter and (ii) quarterly operating margin at least equal to 80% of the lowest amount of operating margin in the range forecast we publicly disclosed for such quarter. The bonus pool would fund at the same percentage as the percentage achievement of the quarterly targets for revenues and operating margin. In addition, if our annual revenues exceeded our annual revenues target, then the bonus pool would fund by an additional amount equal to 2x the percentage achievement of the annual revenues target (reduced by the aggregate amount of the 2014 quarterly bonus pools funded by achievement in revenues).

Following the end of each quarter, our compensation committee of our board of directors reviewed, our financial performance against the approved performance objectives under the Bonus Plan and approved cash payments for each of our named executive officers that were equal to the following percentages of his quarterly target incentive compensation amounts: 98.2% (first quarter), 101.43% (second quarter), 107.61% (third quarter) and 112.20% (fourth quarter). Following the end of our fiscal year, our compensation committee of our board of directors reviewed our financial performance against the annual revenues target

under the Bonus Plan and approved additional cash payments for each of our named executive officers based on 100.24%, which is two times the percentage by which our annual revenues exceeded our annual revenues target. The actual amount paid to each of our named executive officers for annual revenues achievement was reduced by quarterly bonus amounts such named executive officer received relating to revenues achievement.

The total cash incentive payments paid to our named executive officers for fiscal 2014 are described in the “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation” column of the 2014 Summary Compensation Table.

Perquisites

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the same group insurance and employee benefit plans generally available to our other salaried employees in the U.S. These benefits include medical, dental, vision, and disability benefits and other plans and programs made available to other eligible employees. At this time, we do not provide special plans or programs for our named executive officers.

Executive Employment Arrangements

Vladimir Shmunis

We entered into an employment letter with Vladimir G. Shmunis, our Chief Executive Officer, dated September 13, 2013. Mr. Shmunis’ current base salary is $475,000, and he is eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to 75% of his base salary for the current fiscal year. The employment letter with Mr. Shmunis provides for a three-year employment term, and may be extended by mutual agreement at the end of the term, but either we or Mr. Shmunis may terminate the employment relationship with us at any time.

In addition, Mr. Shmunis is entitled under his employment letter to the following severance and change of control benefits upon certain qualifying terminations.

If prior to the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months after a change of control (such period, the “Change of Control Period”), Mr. Shmunis’ employment is terminated without “cause” (excluding by reason of death or “disability”) or he resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in his change of control and severance agreement), he will be eligible to receive the following benefits if he timely signs and does not revoke a release of claims with us:

•

continued payment of base salary for a period of 12 months; and

•

payment by us for up to 12 months of COBRA premiums to continue health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents, or taxable monthly payments for the equivalent period in the event payment for COBRA premiums would violate applicable law.

If, within the Change of Control Period, his employment is terminated without cause (excluding by reason of death or “disability”) or he resigns for good reason, he will be entitled to the following benefits if he timely signs and does not revoke a release of claims with us:

•

a lump sum payment equal to (x) 18 months of his annual base salary, plus (y) 1.5x the greater of his target annual bonus for the year of the change of control or the year of his termination;

•

payment by us for up to 18 months of COBRA premiums to continue health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents, or taxable monthly payments for the equivalent period in the event payment for COBRA premiums would violate applicable law; and

•

100% accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards.

In the event any of the amounts provided for under this letter or otherwise payable to Mr. Shmunis would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and could be subject to the related excise tax, Mr. Shmunis would be entitled to receive either full payment of benefits under this letter or such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of after-tax benefits to Mr. Shmunis. The letter does not require us to provide any tax gross-up payments.

John Marlow

We entered into an executive employment offer letter with John Marlow, our Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, General Counsel and Secretary, dated September 13, 2013. The executive employment offer letter has no specific term and provides for at-will employment. Mr. Marlow’s current base salary is $280, 000, and he is eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to 75% of his base salary for the current fiscal year.

In addition, under the terms of his offer letter, in the event that we terminate Mr. Marlow within 60 days prior to a “change in control” (as such term is defined in his offer letter) or he is not hired by the surviving or successor entity or within 12 months after the change in control, Mr. Marlow is terminated by the successor or surviving entity without “cause,” death or disability, or he resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in his offer letter), and subject to his signing and not revoking a release of claims with us, then 50% of the then unvested shares subject to his then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest in full on the termination date and be exercisable.

In the event we terminate Mr. Marlow’s employment without “cause” (as such term is defined in his offer letter) and excluding by reason of death or disability, he is eligible to receive severance equal to three months of his base salary, payable in equal installments, subject to his signing and not revoking a release agreement with us.

Praful Shah

We entered into an executive employment offer letter with Praful Shah, our Senior Vice President, Strategy, dated March 31, 2008. The executive employment offer letter has no specific term and provides for at-will employment. Mr. Shah’s current base salary is $275, 000, and he is eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to 75% of his base salary for the current fiscal year.

In addition, under the terms of his offer letter and option agreement, in the event that we terminate Mr. Shah within 60 days prior to a “change in control” (as such term is defined in his offer letter or option agreement) or he is not hired by the surviving or successor entity or within 12 months after the change in control, Mr. Shah is terminated by the successor or surviving entity without “cause,” or he resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in his offer letter), and subject to his signing and not revoking a release of claims with us, then 100% of the then unvested shares subject to his then-outstanding options will immediately vest in full on the termination date and be exercisable.

In the event we terminate Mr. Shah’s employment without “cause,” he is eligible to receive (i) severance equal to six months of his base salary and (ii) accelerated vesting of the number shares subject to his options that would vest had he remained employed with us in the six-month period following his termination date.

Clyde Hosein

We entered into an executive employment offer letter with Clyde Hosein, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, dated August 7, 2013. The executive employment offer letter has no specific term and provides for at-will employment. Mr. Hosein’s current base salary is $320,000, and he is eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus of up to 75% of his base salary.

In addition, under the terms of his offer letter, in the event that we terminate Mr. Hosein within 60 days prior to a “change in control” (as such term is defined in his offer letter) or he is not hired by the surviving or successor entity or within 12 months after the change in control, Mr. Hosein is terminated by the successor or surviving entity without “cause,” death or disability, or he resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in his offer letter and option agreement), and subject to his signing and not revoking a release of claims with us, then 50% of the then unvested shares subject to his options and other equity awards will immediately vest in full on the termination date and be exercisable for 90 days after his termination date.

In the event we terminate Mr. Hosein’s employment without “cause” or he voluntarily terminates for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in his offer letter), he is eligible to receive (i) severance equal to 12 months of his base salary, payable in equal semi-monthly installments and (ii) payment by us for up to nine months of COBRA premiums to continue health insurance coverage for him and his eligible dependents, subject to his signing and not revoking a release agreement with us.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of March 31, 2015, for:

•

each of our named executive officers;

•

each of our directors;

•

all of our directors and executive officers as a group; and

•

each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of our voting securities.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

We have deemed shares of our common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2015, and shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units within 60 days of March 31, 2054, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the option or the restricted stock units, respectively, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person. However, we have not treated such shares as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. We have based percentage ownership of our common stock on 54,483,362 shares of our Class A common stock and 14,531,831 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2015. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o RingCentral, Inc., 20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California 94002.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In addition to the compensation arrangements, including employment, termination of employment and change in control arrangements discussed above in the sections titled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance – Non-Employee Director Compensation” and “Executive Compensation,” the following is a description of each transaction since January 1, 2014 and each currently proposed transaction in which:

•

we have been or are to be a participant;

•

the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000; and

•

any of our directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Investor Rights Agreement

We are party to an investor rights agreement which provides, among other things, that certain holders of our common stock, including stockholders affiliated with some of our directors, have the right to request that we file a registration statement or request that their shares be covered by a registration statement that we are otherwise filing.

Limitation of Officer and Director Liability and Indemnification Arrangements

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws each provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, and may indemnify our employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits our certificate of incorporation from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:

•

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or to our stockholders;

•

acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•

unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or

•

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. Our certificate of incorporation will not eliminate a director’s duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, remain available under Delaware law. This provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under our bylaws, we will also be empowered to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted to indemnify.

In addition to the indemnification required in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers. These agreements provide for the indemnification of our directors and executive officers for certain expenses and

liabilities incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or hearing, inquiry or investigation that may lead to the foregoing, to which they are a party, or are threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of our company, or any of our subsidiaries, by reason of any action or inaction by them while serving as an officer, director, agent or fiduciary, or by reason of the fact that they were serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another entity. Under the indemnification agreements, indemnification will only be provided in situations where the indemnified parties acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interest, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to situations where they had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action or proceeding by or in the right of our company or any of our subsidiaries, no indemnification will be provided for any claim where a court determines that the indemnified party is prohibited from receiving indemnification. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

Other than as described above under this section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions,” since January 1, 2014, we have not entered into any transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, between us and a related party where the amount involved exceeds, or would exceed, $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We believe the terms of the transactions described above were comparable to terms we could have obtained in arm’s-length dealings with unrelated third parties.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

We have adopted a policy that our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our common stock and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related person transaction with us without the prior consent of our audit committee. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, nominee for election as a director, beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our common stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and such person would have a direct or indirect interest must first be presented to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our audit committee considers the material facts of the transaction, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction.

OTHER MATTERS

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Such directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

SEC regulations require us to identify in this proxy statement anyone who filed a required report late during the most recent year. Based on our review of forms we received, or written representations from reporting persons stating that they were not required to file these forms, we believe that during 2013, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were satisfied on a timely basis.

Incorporation by Reference

The information contained above under the caption “Report of the Audit Committee” shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor will such information be incorporated by reference into any future SEC filing except to the extent that RingCentral specifically incorporates it by reference into such filing.

2014 Annual Report and SEC Filings

Our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 are included in our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2015, and which we will also make available to stockholders at the same time as this proxy statement. Our annual report and this proxy statement are posted on our website at ir.ringcentral.com and are available from the SEC at its website at www.sec.gov. You may also obtain a copy of our annual report without charge by sending a written request to Investor Relations, RingCentral, Inc., 20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California 94002.

The board of directors does not know of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any additional matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy card will have discretion to vote shares they represent in accordance with their own judgment on such matters.

It is important that your shares be represented at the Annual Meeting, regardless of the number of shares that you hold. You are, therefore, urged to vote by telephone or by using the Internet as instructed on the enclosed proxy card or execute and return, at your earliest convenience, the enclosed proxy card in the envelope that has also been provided.
