CONFIDENTIAL SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This Confidential Separation Agreement and General Release (“Agreement”) is entered into between Under Armour, Inc. (the “Company”) and Lisa Collier (“Employee”) (collectively, the “Parties”). Addendum No. 1 includes certain provisions required in specific states, and to the extent that the law of a state referenced in the Addendum applies, that reference is incorporated into this Agreement.

1.    Termination of Relationship. Employee’s separation from employment with the Company will end on close of business October 1, 2023 ("Separation Date"). Employee’s final paycheck, which will include payment for all hours worked through the Separation Date, is being paid to Employee regardless of whether Employee signs this Agreement. In addition, Employee will receive payment for accrued but unused paid time off (“PTO”) under the Company’s PTO policy and as required by state law regardless of whether Employee signs this Agreement.

2.    Consideration. For and in consideration of Employee's decision to enter into this Agreement, the Company agrees as follows:

A.    The Company will provide Employee with payment in the total gross amount of $1,125,000 which is the equivalent of one and one-half years of Employee’s current salary (“Severance Pay”). The Severance Pay will be paid out in a lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable following the Company’s receipt of this signed Agreement from Employee and the Effective Date of the Agreement (defined in Section 6 below). Such Severance Pay shall be subject to applicable taxes and other legally required withholdings and deductions.

B.    The Company will not appeal any determination made by the state unemployment compensation agency (“UC agency”) awarding benefits on any claim for unemployment benefits filed by Employee following his/her separation from employment with the Company; provided, however, that Employee understands and agrees that (1) the UC agency, not the Company, determines whether Employee is eligible to receive benefits; (2) nothing shall interfere with the Company’s right and/or obligation to truthfully respond to any inquiry and/or provide any documentation requested by the UC agency; and (3) Employee cannot raise any claim against the Company because of information that is provided to the UC agency.

C.    Pursuant to Paragraph 4 of the Employee Confidentiality, Non-Competition, and Non-Solicitation Agreement, the Company hereby gives notice to the Employee that the Non-Competition Restricted Period will begin on October 2, 2023 and end on October 2, 2024. Pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the Non-



Competition Agreement, should any additional consideration be required during the Severance Pay period, such Severance Pay satisfies the Non-Competition Payment, except as otherwise required by applicable law, in which case the Company will compensate Employee as required by applicable law.

D.    Employee’s active employee participation in the Company-sponsored group medical, dental and/or vision insurance plans (collectively the “group health plan”) will terminate at the end of the month in which the Separation Date occurs. Thereafter, Employee and/or Employee’s eligible dependents (if any) (each a “qualified beneficiary”) may elect to continue coverage under the group health plan pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”). Employee will receive information regarding COBRA continuation rights and responsibilities from the Company’s third-party COBRA administrator under separate cover. The Company will provide the Employee with a payment in the gross amount of $29,634, less taxes and other legally required withholdings and deductions, intended to compensate the Employee for the cost of continuation of benefits after termination of employment.

E.    The Company will provide the Employee with a payment in the gross amount of $25,000, less taxes and other legally required withholdings and deductions, intended to compensate the Employee for the cost of outplacement services following termination of employment.

F.    Employee agrees that all PTO will be entered into the Company system of record in advance of the leave being taken.

3.    No Additional Payments or Benefits. Employee agrees and understands that the consideration set forth in Section 2 above is not required by the Company’s policies and procedures or by any prior agreement between Employee and the Company. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee will receive no additional payments or benefits other than as set forth in this Agreement, unless such payment or benefit is a vested benefit or required by law. The parties acknowledge that all outstanding equity awards held by the Employee continue to be governed by the terms of such awards, and all unvested equity awards will be forfeited as of the Separation Date. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee is solely and entirely responsible for the payment and discharge of all federal, state, and local taxes, if any, that may at any time be found to be due upon or as a result of any amount that is paid to Employee by the Company under this Agreement and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless should the IRS determine taxes are due as a result of any failure by Employee to pay taxes due, the exception being the Company’s share for FICA and any other employer tax.

4.    Release. In exchange for the promises in this Agreement which Employee acknowledges as good and valuable consideration, and except as expressly provided below, Employee releases and discharges the Company and its past, present and future parents, divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns, and its and their past, present, and future officers, directors, members, partners, attorneys, employee benefit plans, employees, agents, clients, and representatives (collectively “Released Parties”) from any and all actions, causes of action, debts, dues, claims and demands of every name and nature, without limitation, at law, in equity, against the Released Parties

Employee further acknowledges that this Agreement extends also to claims that Employee does not know or suspect to exist in Employee’s favor at the time of executing this Agreement, which if known by Employee might have materially affected Employee’s decision to execute this Agreement. Employee knowingly and voluntarily waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits that Employee has or may have under applicable law with respect to such claims. Employee has not assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person, entity, or individual whatsoever, any claim or any portion thereof or interest therein Employee has against any of the Released Parties

In addition, nothing in this Agreement including but not limited to the release, confidentiality, non-disparagement, no filing of claims and promise not to sue, future cooperation, no re-employment, return of Company property and acknowledgements provisions: limits or affects Employee’s right to challenge the validity of this Agreement under the ADEA or the OWBPA; prevents Employee from communicating with, filing a charge or complaint with, providing documents or information voluntarily or in response to a subpoena or other information request to, or from participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, Department of Justice, law enforcement, or any other any federal, state or local agency charged with the enforcement of any laws, or from responding to a subpoena or discovery request in court litigation or arbitration; or limits Employee from exercising rights, if any, under Section 7 of the NLRA or similar state law to engage in protected, concerted activity with other employees, although by signing this Agreement Employee is waiving rights to individual relief (including backpay, front pay, reinstatement or other legal or equitable relief) in any charge, complaint, or lawsuit or other proceeding brought by Employee or on Employee’s behalf by any third party, except for any right Employee may have to receive a payment or award from a government agency (and not the Company or any of the Released Parties) for information provided to the government agency.

Notwithstanding the confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations in this Agreement and otherwise, Employee understands that as provided by the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, Employee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure
3            101537\000000\4890-1266-6201.v2


of a trade secret made: in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

6.    Advice of Counsel, Consideration and Revocation Periods, Other Information. Employee specifically acknowledges the following:

(a)    that the Employee is and has been advised in writing to consult with an attorney of the Employee’s choosing concerning this Agreement prior to signing, including whether to sign it;

(b)    that this Agreement is written in a manner the Employee understands;

(c)    that the consideration set forth in Paragraph 2 of the Agreement is adequate and sufficient for the Employee entering into this Agreement and consists of benefits to which the Employee is not otherwise entitled absent signing (and not revoking) this Agreement;

(d)    that the Employee has been afforded twenty-one (21) days from the date Employee receives this Agreement and any attached information to consider this Agreement before signing it. Employee agrees with the Company that any changes to this Agreement, whether material or immaterial, do not toll or restart this period for consideration. If Employee has signed this Agreement before the end of this twenty-one (21) period, it is because Employee freely chose to do so after carefully considering its terms, and Employee knowingly and voluntarily waives the remainder of the twenty-one (21) day period. Employee agrees that the Company has made no threats or promises to induce Employee to sign earlier.

(e)    Employee must return a copy of the signed Agreement to: Tchernavia Rocker, EVP, Chief People and Administrative Under Armour, Inc., 1020 Hull Stret, Baltimore, MD 21230 or via the Docusign Portal. If Employee fails to do so within the period for consideration set forth above, this Agreement shall be considered withdrawn by the Company;

(f)    Additionally, once Employee signs this Agreement, Employee has seven (7) days thereafter in which to revoke it by delivering a written notice of revocation to Kristin Herber, Vice President, Litigation, Under Armour, Inc., 1020 Hull Street, Baltimore, MD 21230. If the revocation period expires on a weekend or holiday, Employee will have until the end of the next business day to revoke. If Employee does not revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days of signing, this Agreement will be final, binding and effective on the day following such seven (7) period (the “Effective Date”);

(g)    If Employee is age 40 or over and Employee’s termination is part of an employment termination program that affects a group of employees, Employee acknowledges that the Company has attached information which describes: (a) the class, unit, or group of individuals covered by the employment termination program; the eligibility factors for the program; and applicable time limits; and (b) a list of the job titles and ages of all individuals eligible or selected for the employment termination
4            101537\000000\4890-1266-6201.v2


program as well as those persons who were part of the decisional unit but who are not eligible or selected for the program.

7.     No Admission of Liability or Wrongdoing. This Agreement will not be construed as an admission by the Company of any liability or acts of wrongdoing or discrimination, nor shall it considered to be evidence of such liability, wrongdoing or discrimination.

8.    Confidentiality. The nature and terms of this Agreement are strictly confidential and they have not been and shall not be disclosed by Employee at any time to any person other than Employee’s lawyer, accountant or immediate family member, or a governmental agency without the prior written consent of an officer of the Company, except as necessary in any legal or administrative proceedings directly related to the provisions and terms of this Agreement, to prepare and file income tax forms or pursuant to court order after reasonable notice to the Company; and provided that Employee instructs the aforementioned recipient(s) of the information (with the exception of a governmental agency), and such individuals agree not to disclose the terms of this Agreement.

9.    Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees that the Employee has not and will not make statements (including verbal statements, written statements and statements using social media or other internet means) to customers and suppliers of the Company or to other members of the public that are in any way disparaging or negative towards the Company, its products or services, or any of the other Released Parties.

10.    No Filing of Claims and Promise Not to Sue. Employee represents that the Employee has not filed, nor assigns to others the right to file, nor are there currently pending, any complaints or lawsuits against any of the Released Parties with any court, and that Employee will not file, or assign to others the right to file, or make any further claims against the Released Parties at any time for actions taken up to and including the date Employee executes this Agreement. Although Employee is releasing claims under the ADEA and the OWBPA, this promise not to sue does not apply to any challenge Employee might make under those statutes to the knowing and voluntary nature of the release of claims. Further, if any claim is not subject to release, to the extent permitted by law, Employee waives any right or ability to be a class or collective action representative or to otherwise participate in any putative or certified class, collective or multi-party action or proceeding based on such a claim in which the Company or any other Released Party identified in this Agreement is a party.

11.    Future Cooperation. Employee agrees to cooperate with the Company regarding any pending or subsequently filed litigation, claims or other dispute items involving the Company that relate to matters within the knowledge or responsibility of Employee during Employee’s employment with the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, Employee agrees (i) to meet with Company representatives, its counsel or other designees at mutually convenient times and places with respect to any items within the scope of this provision; (ii) to provide truthful testimony regarding same to any court, agency or other adjudicatory body; and (iii) to provide the Company with notice of contact by any adverse party or such adverse party’s representative except as may be required by law. The Company will reimburse Employee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are authorized by the Company before being incurred in connection with the cooperation described in this paragraph.

12.    Return of Company Property. Employee agrees that by signing this Agreement, and as a condition precedent to receiving any payment under this Agreement, Employee has returned by the Separation Date all property belonging to the Company, including, but not limited to, corporate credit
5            101537\000000\4890-1266-6201.v2


cards; keys and access cards; documents; tapes; cell phones; computers, laptops and other computer equipment and software; and any and all confidential and proprietary information, except those items that the Company specifically agrees in writing to permit Employee to retain such as documents pertaining solely to Employee’s individual compensation or benefits. Employee’s access to the Company’s property and facilities will end immediately upon the Separation Date.

13.    Expenses. Employee will submit all expenses, including receipts and other supporting documents, payable under the Company’s Global Travel and Entertainment Policy no later than 30 days after the Separation Date. Employee will be reimbursed for all properly and timely submitted business expenses, regardless of whether Employee signs this Agreement.

14.    Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee remains bound by Employee’s post-termination continuing obligations to the Company as set forth in Employee’s Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”) and any other prior agreements between or related to the parties that contain provisions regarding confidentiality of corporate information and post-termination restrictive covenants, which remain intact. As consideration for Severance Pay and other benefits as set forth in this Agreement, Employee agrees that the Restrictive Covenant Agreement is hereby amended as follows: Paragraph 3(d) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Territory” shall depend upon Employee’s position as follows: (i) if Employee holds the title of SVP or above and Employee is provided Confidential Information, the Territory is global (for the avoidance of doubt, "global" used in this subparagraph means worldwide); (ii) if Employee is in a position where Employee’s responsibilities are not global but not geographically limited to an assigned location or territory and Employee is provided Confidential Information that is not geographically limited to an assigned location or territory (such as, by way of example but not limitation, management positions, marketers, and operations employees), then Territory means the United States (including state and state-equivalents and county and county-equivalents within the United States); (iii) if Employee is in a position with responsibilities and Confidential Information that are limited to an assigned territory or territories during the final twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment, then Territory shall be the specific geographic territory or territories assigned to Employee during the final twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment; and (iv) in the event that none of sub-subparagraphs (d)(i), (ii), or (iii) apply, then the Territory is the county or counties that Employee performed services in or on behalf of the Company during the final twelve (12) months of Employee’s employment.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement as amended are fair and reasonably required for the protection of the Company and its legitimate business interests and will not preclude Employee from becoming gainfully employed following termination of his employment. Employee acknowledges and agrees that he is bound by the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, as amended.

15.    Return of Consideration in Event of Breach. Employee agrees that receipt of any consideration and all payments under this Agreement is contingent on the Employee’s full compliance with its terms and conditions. Should Employee breach any provision of this Agreement, Employee shall immediately return to the Company any Severance Pay received and the Company shall no longer
6            101537\000000\4890-1266-6201.v2


be obligated to pay Employee any Severance Pay otherwise due – except that the Company will not seek to recover the first $500 worth of Severance Pay provided to Employee, which Employee may retain and agrees will constitute full and adequate consideration for Employee’s release of claims in this Agreement – in addition to all other legal and equitable remedies. The Company also will not seek to recover any Severance Pay provided to Employee pursuant to Paragraph 2(B).

16.    Legally Binding Agreement. Employee understands and acknowledges (a) that this is a legally binding release; (2) that by signing this Agreement, Employee is hereafter barred from instating claims against the Released Parties in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 4 and 10 above; and (3) this Agreement is final and binding.

17.    Acknowledgements. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the following is true as of the date Employee signs the this Agreement: (a) Employee is not owed any wages by the Company for work performed, whether as wages or salary, overtime, bonuses or commissions, or for accrued but unused paid time off, and has been fully compensated for all hours worked through the Separation Date with receipt of a final paycheck, except as provided in this Agreement; (b) Employee has had the opportunity to provide the Company with written notice of any and all concerns regarding suspected ethical and compliance issues or violations on the part of the Company or any other Released Parties; (c) Employee has reported to the Company any and all work-related injuries or illnesses incurred during employment; (d) Employee has been properly provided any leave requested because of Employee’s or a family member’s health condition and has not been subjected to any improper treatment, conduct or actions due to a request for or taking such leave; and (e) Employee has not raised and does not otherwise have a claim, including but not limited to, unlawful discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, abuse, assault, or other criminal conduct, or retaliation in a court or government agency proceeding, in an alternative dispute resolution forum, or through the Company’s internal complaint process involving the Company or any of the Released Parties.

18.    No Other Understandings. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties, and is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal or legal representatives, successors and/or assigns. Employee is not relying on any other agreements or oral representations not addressed in this document including any attached disclosure. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by the Company and Employee.

19.    Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered a construction of the provisions of this Agreement.

20.    Severability and Governing Law. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any part of this Agreement except Sections 4 and/or 10 is found by a court of law to be unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement will continue to be valid and effective. If Sections 4 and/or 10 is found to be unenforceable, the parties agree to seek a determination by the court as to the rights of the parties, including whether Employee is entitled to retain the benefits paid to Employee under the Agreement. This Agreement will be interpreted, enforced and governed by the laws of the state where Employee last worked for the Company, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

21.     Counterparts and Electronic Signatures. The parties may execute this Agreement in multiple counterparts, each of which constitutes an original, and all of which, collectively, constitute only one agreement. The parties also agree that this Agreement may be executed by original signature

or electronic signature. By using an electronic signature option, Employee and the Company agree and intend to be bound by an electronic signature of the other in the same manner as the use of a signature affixed by hand. Although neither Employee nor the Company are required to electronically sign this Agreement, by using an electronic signature option, the parties are agreeing to conduct this transaction by electronic means. For purposes of this Agreement, facsimile or scanned signatures in lieu of original signatures are also acceptable.

In exchange for the promises contained in this Agreement, the Company promises to provide the benefits set forth in this Agreement.
