On October 1, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CNO Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Jessica A.

Ms. Turner was also appointed to the Audit and Enterprise Risk Committee and the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board.
Ms. Turner’s compensation will be consistent with the Company’s previously disclosed standard compensatory arrangements for non-employee directors, which are described in the Company’s most recent proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2024, under the heading “Board and Governance Matters—Director Compensation.” Ms. Turner’s compensation will be prorated to reflect the commencement date of her Board service. In addition, the Company expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Turner in substantially the form filed as Exhibit 10.16 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Other than these standard arrangements, there are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Turner and any other person pursuant to which she was appointed as a director. Ms. Turner is not a party to any transaction with the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
