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

(e) On September 8, 2021, the Board of Directors of Netflix, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Amended and Restated Executive Severance and Retention Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides a severance benefit upon termination of employment (other than for cause, death or permanent disability) to employees of the Company at the level of Vice President or higher so long as he or she signs a waiver and release of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. In order to remain competitive in attracting and retaining top talent, the Plan was amended to, among other things, increase the minimum severance benefit under the Plan from nine months to 12 months of allocatable compensation.

The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
