On November 4, 2025, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of Kemper Corporation (the “Company” or “Kemper”) approved retention awards (“Retention Awards”) for certain senior executives of the Company, including Bradley T. Camden, John M. Boschelli and Matthew A. Hunton, all of whom are named executive officers of the Company. The Retention Awards were made, following consultation with the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, to reflect the Committee’s belief in the critical role played by each of these executives and to support the retention of each recipient following the recently announced leadership changes at Kemper.
The Retention Awards made to the Company’s named executive officers (other than the retention award granted to the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, which was disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed November 7, 2025) are shown in the table below:
| Named Executive Officer | Retention Award | ||||
| Bradley T. Camden Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer | $775,000 | ||||
| John M. Boschelli Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer | $675,000 | ||||
| Matthew A. Hunton Executive Vice President and President, Kemper Auto | $775,000 | ||||
The Retention Awards are in the form of restricted stock units, with fifty percent of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining fifty percent of the award vesting on the second anniversary of the grant date, in each case subject to the recipient’s continued service with the Company. The grant date of the Retention Awards is expected to be the first trading day in the month of December 2025.
