On March 20,
2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Uber Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Robert
Eckert to the Board as an independent director.
“We’re
thrilled to add Bob to the Board,” said Ron Sugar, independent Chairperson of the Board. “Bob leads with a steady
hand, both in good times and through difficulties, and offers world-class experience and insights that we believe will prove
invaluable as Uber begins its next decade.”
“Bob brings
powerful perspective and understands the tremendous value that can be unlocked by fostering a world-class consumer brand,”
said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO. “I look forward to working with him on the Board.”
Mr.
Eckert, 65, has been an Operating Partner of FFL Partners, LLC, a private equity firm, since September 2014. Mr. Eckert is also
Chairman Emeritus of Mattel, Inc., a toy design, manufacture and marketing company, a
role he has held since January 2013. He was Mattel’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer from May 2000 until December 2011,
and he continued to serve as its Chairman until December 2012. He previously worked for Kraft Foods, Inc., a consumer packaged
food and beverage company, for 23 years, and served as President and Chief Executive Officer from October 1997 until May 2000.
From 1995 to 1997, Mr. Eckert was Group Vice President of Kraft Foods, and from 1993 to 1995, Mr. Eckert was President of the Oscar
Mayer foods division of Kraft Foods. Mr. Eckert is currently a director of McDonald’s Corporation, Amgen, Inc., Levi Strauss
& Co., Eyemart Express Holdings, LLC, Enjoy Beer Holdings, LLC and Quinn Company.
Mr. Eckert was selected to
serve on our Board due to his leadership experience as a chief executive officer of large global public companies and his extensive
experience leading global consumer brands at Mattel and Kraft and financial expertise as a partner of FFL Partners, LLC and his
government, policy and regulatory experience.
The Board has
appointed Mr. Eckert to serve on the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee.
Mr. Eckert will
participate in the Company’s previously disclosed compensation program for non-employee directors, pursuant to which he will
receive (i) a $50,000 annual cash retainer and (ii) a grant of restricted stock units vesting December 31, 2020, with a fair value
of $250,000, each as prorated for his partial year of service. He is also entitled to a cash retainer in connection with his service
on the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee.
There is no arrangement between Mr. Eckert and any person pursuant
to which he was selected as director. Mr. Eckert has no direct or indirect material interest in any existing or currently proposed
transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
