Amendments to Employment Agreements
On February 4, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of MediaAlpha, Inc. (the “Company”), approved amendments to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements with Steven Yi and Eugene Nonko.
The amendment to Mr. Yi’s Employment Agreement provides that, commencing with bonuses for fiscal 2025, Mr. Yi shall participate in the annual cash incentive plan for the Company’s executives, rather than receiving annual performance-vesting restricted stock units with vesting provisions and targets that mirror the terms of the annual cash incentive plan. The amendment to Mr. Nonko’s Employment Agreement provides that, as Mr. Nonko will retire as the Company’s Chief Technology Officer effective June 30, 2025, he will not receive an award of performance-vesting restricted stock units for 2025.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendments, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
