While this proxy is retrospective and reflects a 2019 full of challenges and accomplishments, today

we face our greatest challenge: the spread of COVID-19, and our collective response to it. We are
confident in our ability to weather this crisis and emerge stronger. Our immediate focus is not just
on ourselves, but on how we can play our part in “flattening the curve” of transmission, and how we
can be a vital resource to cities by bringing our network and logistics expertise to bear. Our
technology is global, but our presence is hyper-local, so our teams are putting every effort into
keeping cities moving safely, helping healthcare workers and first responders where we can, and
powering local commerce and small businesses, while prioritizing the health and well-being of
drivers, delivery people and everyone who uses Uber. Looking back, I am proud of what our team
accomplished in 2019. We completed a historic initial public offering, raising over $8 billion in
proceeds; our platform grew to over 100 million monthly active platform consumers, generating
over $65 billion in gross bookings; we made critical acquisitions like Careem; and we took big steps
forward on safety, including the release of our industryfirst U.S. Safety Report. As we move into our
next decade, we are more focused than ever on innovating for our consumers, continuing to create
tremendous economic opportunity for the millions of people earning on our platform, and
relentlessly executing against our strategy to drive sustainable, and profitable, growth. I will leave
you with something I have constantly said to the executive leadership team, our managers, and the
whole company: at the end of the day, execution matters most. To execute well, we must lean in to
the qualities that have been core to Uber from day one—tenacity, relentlessness, and grit—while
ensuring that we build diverse teams of exceptionally talented people in the process. This means
creating a culture of “faster, farther, together” driven by ownership, accountability, and doing the
right thing for all of the communities and constituencies we serve. Today we must execute not just
for our families and our company, but also, most importantly, for our communities and the cities in
which we live and operate. As ever, thank you for your continued support as stockholders. It’s an
honor to be on this journey with you. We won’t let you down
