Re:

Executive Transition Agreement – Barry Broadus

 


 

You shared with me your plans to retire in early 2026. This memo, in the form of an Executive Transition Agreement (the “Agreement”), is intended to confirm and document the details of your retirement from full-time employment and as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of ICF International, Inc. (“ICF”) and its affiliates (collectively ICF and its affiliates, the “Company”), your transition to a role as Senior Advisor and to a flexible, part-time (“FPT”) status, and finally to your full retirement from the Company.

 

 

Background:

You have been an executive of the Company since 2022. You announced your intention to retire from the Company and offered to continue to provide the Company transition services, including on a FPT basis beginning after your retirement from full-time employment through the end of your employment, as set forth in Section 3 below. This may be beneficial to assisting with several corporate projects, and, for these purposes, the Company wishes to continue your at-will employment on a FPT basis as set forth below.

 

Transition Terms and Related Provisions:

You and the Company are parties to this Agreement and agree as follows:

 

 

1.

Full-time Retirement Date. You have announced your plan to retire from the Company, beginning with the relinquishment of your role as Chief Financial Officer effective March 1,2026 when you will assume a role as “Senior Advisor”, at which point you will be deemed to have relinquished all director, officer or other management position(s) to which you were appointed for ICF or any other affiliate of the Company. Your retirement from full-time employment with the Company is effective April 1, 2026 (the “Full-Time Retirement Date”). Your base salary through the Full-time Retirement Date will be paid in the normal course on the regularly scheduled payroll dates, less taxes and other required withholding, consistent with other Company employees. Your participation in the Executive Paid Leave (“EPL”) program will continue until the Full-Time Retirement Date.

 

 

2.

Service Through the Last Day of Employment. You will continue in good faith to perform your duties, including as directed by senior management, through your last date of employment (during your service in both full-time and FPT capacities, as the case may be) with the Company.

 

 

3.

Continued Employment on a FPT Basis after the Full-Time Retirement Date. After the Full-Time Retirement Date, you will continue to be employed by the Company on an at-will FPT basis as a Senior Advisor until the earlier of (i) January 31, 2027 (the “Retirement Date”) or sooner if (ii) the Company terminates you for “cause”, as defined in the Severance Benefits Letter Agreement dated January 6, 2022 , or you otherwise elect to terminate your employment sooner. Upon your termination of employment, you will no longer be an employee of the Company (the “Extended Separation Date”). While in FPT status, you may be asked to work up to an average of thirty (30) hours per month. You will record time for work requested by ICF’s Chief Executive Officer or your successor in the Chief Financial Officer role, and that you performed on behalf of the Company. You will be paid at an hourly rate of Two Hundred Fifty dollars ($250.00) per hour, less taxes and other required withholding. While in FPT status, you will no longer be eligible for Executive Personal Leave (“EPL”), holidays, or any other paid leave offered to regular full-time employees. You will work remotely, but may be asked to travel as necessary to provide appropriate support so long as you remain an employee. The Company will be responsible for your business travel and travel-related expenses in connection with the work you are asked to perform.

4.

Bonuses. You will be eligible to receive a bonus under the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 in accordance with the provisions of the AIP, as determined by the Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors of ICF International, Inc., which, if approved, would be paid at the time that other management Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) bonuses are paid. A delay in payment of the AIP for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 beyond the Full-Time Retirement Date does not alter your eligibility to receive such bonus when and in the manner awarded by the Human Capital Committee. You understand and agree that you are not eligible to participate in the AIP or any other bonus program for periods beginning on and after January 1, 2026. In addition, you acknowledge that to the extent any payment is subject to Code Section 409A, to which no exception to Code Section 409A is applicable, such payment shall not be made prior to the date that is the earliest of (i) six months after the Full-Time Retirement Date; (ii) your death; or (iii) such other date that will cause such payment to you not to be subject to any additional tax imposed pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 409A. In the event of your death, any such unpaid amount shall be paid to your designated beneficiaries.

 

 

5.

Equity Grants. You will continue to vest in your existing equity grants in accordance with the applicable grant agreements and the terms of the ICF International, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Plan”) and otherwise remain eligible for continued vesting under the Plan, applicable grant agreement provisions and other requirements, including the retirement provisions therein. Your equity grants are reflected on the attached Exhibit A. You understand and agree that you are not eligible to participate in any other compensation programs and will not receive any new equity incentive awards under the Plan or otherwise for periods on and after January 1, 2026; provided that if the Human Capital Committee determines that all or a portion of the bonuses for executive officer participants under the AIP program for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 shall be paid in the form of equity grants, you shall not be prohibited from receiving such equity grants at the time such payments and grants are made to the other executive officers. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5 does not affect your rights under the Plan, any Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) Award Agreements or any Performance Share (“PS”) Award Agreements that are outstanding as of the date hereof or that may granted to you in substitution for payment of some or all of the AIP program for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Any RSU and PS awards so outstanding will continue to vest in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of such award agreements. Consistent with the terms of your outstanding award agreements, your RSU awards and PS awards, or any other RSU or PS awards that are authorized and granted to you hereafter, will continue to vest unless the Company terminates your employment with for “cause”, as defined in the Severance Benefits Letter Agreement dated January 6, 2022, or you otherwise elect to terminate your employment sooner. Copies of your outstanding RSU and PS award agreements are enclosed with this Agreement.

 

 

6.

Executive Personal Leave. The parties acknowledge that, during your regular full-time employment with the Company, you participated in the Company’s EPL program for officers and therefore, you did not earn or accrue leave but took leave consistent with the provisions of this program and have been paid for all such leave taken through your execution of this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that you will not earn nor be eligible to receive any leave payout after the Full-Time Retirement Date.

In order to do so, you will be solely responsible for electing such continuation coverage by timely completing and submitting the COBRA election documents. You will be personally responsible for the full premium of COBRA coverage.

 

 

8.

Severance Pay. In recognition of the understanding that you will remain employed on a full-time basis through the Full-Time Retirement Date, you understand and agree that as a result of your retirement you hereby waive, shall no longer be entitled to, and shall not be paid, any severance under your Severance Letter Agreement, except that this waiver shall not apply if your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as such term is defined in your Severance Letter Agreement) prior to the Full-Time Retirement Date.

 

 

9.

The Company agrees that it will reimburse you for any lost wages or leave, as well as any reasonable expense you incur in assisting the Company, at its request, in any such matter.

 

 

12.
