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

On May 14, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Teradata Corporation (“Teradata” or the “Company”) adopted the Teradata 2025 New Employee Stock Inducement Plan (the “NESIP”), effective as of May 15, 2025. Pursuant to the NESIP, the Company may grant equity incentive compensation as a material inducement for certain individuals to commence employment with Teradata within the meaning of Rule 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Awards granted under the NESIP may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, other share-based awards or any combination of those awards. The only individuals eligible to receive grants of awards under the NESIP are individuals who satisfy the standards for “inducement awards” under Rule 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

A total of 1 million shares of Teradata common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”), are reserved for grant under the NESIP, subject to adjustment as provided in the NESIP. Shares issued under the NESIP may include authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares, Shares purchased in the open market or a combination of the foregoing. The NESIP is administered by the Compensation and People Committee of the Board. The NESIP is scheduled to terminate on May 15, 2027, or such earlier date that the Board may determine.

The NESIP is not intended to be treated as an “equity-compensation plan” within the meaning of Rule 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, and, as such, stockholder approval is not required for the NESIP.

The foregoing is only a brief description of the NESIP and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NESIP and the forms of Performance-Based Restricted Share Unit Agreement (Graded Vesting), Performance-Based Restricted Share Unit Agreement (Cliff Vesting) and Restricted Share Unit Agreement (Graded Vesting), which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
