Confluent, Inc. ("Confluent," "we," "us," "our," or "our company") is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this "Amendment") to amend the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 11, 2026 (the "Original Filing"). This Amendment is being filed to include the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K. We previously omitted this information from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above-referenced items to be incorporated in the Original Filing by reference to Confluent's definitive proxy statement if such proxy statement is filed no later than 120 days after Confluent's fiscal year-end. We are filing this Amendment to provide the information required in Part III of Form 10-K because we may not file a definitive proxy statement containing that information within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Original Filing.
This Amendment amends and restates in their entirety Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of the Original Filing and the exhibit index set forth in Part IV of the Original Filing. The cover page of the Original Filing is also amended to delete the reference to the incorporation by reference of Confluent's definitive proxy statement.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), this Amendment also contains certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.
Except as described above, no other portion of the Original Filing is amended hereby, and the Original Filing continues to speak as of the filing date of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and Confluent's filings made with the SEC subsequent to the date of the Original Filing.
