On June 7, 2024, Paramount Global (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Nancy Phillips, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief People Officer (the “Phillips Agreement”), which amends her employment agreement to (1) extend her term of employment through June 4, 2027, (2) increase her annual base salary to $1,000,000, effective as of June 4, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), (3) increase her target annual cash bonus under the Company’s Short Term Incentive Plan to 120% of her annual base salary, effective as of the Effective Date and subject to the achievement of performance goals established by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), and (4) increase the target value of her annual grants of equity compensation under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) to $1.8 million, beginning with the annual grants for the 2025 fiscal year.

In connection with the increase in the target value of Ms. Phillips’ annual grants of equity compensation under the LTIP, the Committee awarded Ms. Phillips a pro-rated equity award consisting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a grant date value of $350,000 and a grant date effective on the third trading day following the Committee’s approval of the award.
