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

On June 17, 2022, Jonathan Durham resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of EverCommerce Inc. (the “Company”), effective on such date. Mr. Durham was designated to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors by SLA CM Eclipse Holdings, L.P. and certain affiliated entities (“Silver Lake”) pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement between the Company, Silver Lake and Providence Strategic Growth II L.P. and certain affiliated entities, dated June 30, 2021 (the “Stockholders Agreement”). Mr. Durham’s resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

The Board has elected John Rudella to the Company’s Board, effective June 17, 2022, to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Durham’s resignation. Mr. Rudella was designated to serve on the Board by Silver Lake, consistent with the Stockholders Agreement.

Mr. Rudella, 51, is a Director of Silver Lake, which he joined in 2014. Prior to joining Silver Lake, Mr. Rudella served as a U.S. Navy SEAL where he held a variety of leadership positions, worked in technology development, and made multiple deployments to Africa and the Middle East. Mr. Rudella holds a B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy and a M.S. from the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. Mr. Rudella currently serves on the board of directors of First Advantage Corporation and the Station Foundation. He previously served on the board of Ancestry.com. The Company believes Mr. Rudella is qualified to serve on the Board due to his financial and leadership experience, as well as his public company board experience.

Mr. Rudella has waived participation in the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. The Company expects to enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement with Mr. Rudella.

Concurrent with the effectiveness of Mr. Durham’s resignation, Penny Baldwin-Leonard was appointed to the Company’s Audit Committee.
