Item 8.01   Other Events.

Duck Creek Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) currently intends to hold its first Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on March 12, 2021, solely by means of remote communication (i.e., a virtual-only stockholder meeting) in lieu of an in-person meeting as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic at a time and location determined and to be specified in the Company’s definitive proxy statement related to the Annual Meeting. 

Under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has set December 18, 2020 as the deadline for submitting a shareholder proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Accordingly, in order for a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, the proposal must be received by the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices at 22 Boston Wharf Rd., Floor 10, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, no later than the close of business on such date, and comply with the procedures and requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8.

In accordance with the advance notice requirements contained in the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), for director nominations or other business to be brought before the Annual Meeting by a stockholder, other than Rule 14a-8 proposals described above, written notice to the Secretary of the Company must be delivered to, or be mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Company no later than the close of business on December 18, 2020.  These stockholder notices also must comply with the requirements of the Bylaws and will not be effective otherwise.
