[ADDRESS REDACTED]
Dear Maroun:
This letter agreement outlines the terms of the agreement between you and the Clarivate group of
companies and their affiliated or related organizations (the “Company”) regarding the
termination of your employment with the Company (the “Agreement”).
We have agreed to the following:
•Transition: Through June 9, 2026 (“Transition Date”), you will continue to remain
employed with the Company as President, Intellectual Property. Effective as of the Transition
Date, you will continue to be employed by the Company in an advisory role for a period
beginning on the Transition Date and ending on September 30, 2026 (the “Separation Date”).
During this time, you will work exclusively with the Company in order to affect a smooth
transition of responsibilities; provided that you shall be permitted to (a) accept employment
or engagement with a new entity at any time on or after September 1, 2026 and (b) accept a
position as a non-executive board member at any time on or after August 16, 2026, subject,
in each case, to your continued compliance with your Restrictive Covenants (as defined
below).
In connection with entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that, effective
as of the Transition Date, you will automatically resign from all your positions of the
Company, including your positions as President, Intellectual Property and various corporate
director roles, and that you will execute such further documents and instruments as may be
reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate such resignations. Effective as of the
Transition Date, you will not be an “executive officer” of the Company for the purposes of
the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or an “officer” of
the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
From now through the Separation Date, you will continue to (x) receive your current annual
base salary of $600,000.00, paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices
and subject to applicable withholdings and (y) benefits, as elected by you, from the
Company.
To the extent you are enrolled in the Company’s medical, dental, vision and/or health savings
account as of the Separation Date, your enrollment in these plans will end on the last day of
the month that includes the Separation Date. All other applicable employee benefits
including, without limitation, participation in the following Company plans shall terminate as
of the Separation Date (if not already terminated as of the Separation Date): 401(k) plan,
dependent care flexible spending account, health care flexible spending account, life
2
insurance, short- and long-term disability, management incentive and any paid time off
programs on the first day of the month following the Separation Date. As of the Separation
Date, you will not be entitled to receive any employee benefits, except for group health
coverage continuation in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act (“COBRA”) and 401(k) benefits, if any.
•Separation Benefits: Subject to your compliance with your obligations under this
Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any of the Restrictive Covenants (as
defined below)) and provided you execute (and do not subsequently revoke) (x) the release
included on Attachment A hereto (the “Release”) and (y) the Bring-Down Release (as
defined on Attachment A ) in each case in accordance with the time periods required therein,
the Company will provide you with the following payments and benefits (collectively, the
“Separation Benefits”):
▪Separation Payment: You will receive a cash payment of $450,000 (equivalent to your
target bonus under the Annual Incentive Plan for plan year 2026, prorated based on the
time elapsed between the beginning of such plan year and the Separation Date), less
applicable deductions and withholdings, payable in lump sum within thirty (30) days of
the Bring-Down Release Effective Date (as defined in the Release). The lump sum
payment described in this subparagraph will be referred to as the “Separation Payment.”
The Separation Payment will be paid using the same method you have elected as of the
Separation Date to receive your regular paychecks from the Company.
▪COBRA Payment: You will receive a lump sum payment of $30,000 (roughly equivalent
to 18 months of COBRA premium payment for the group medical plan in which you are
enrolled, calculated based on your then current elections and 2026 COBRA rates), less
applicable deductions and withholdings, payable as soon as administratively feasible
following the Bring-Down Release Effective Date. The lump sum payment described in
this subparagraph will be referred to as the “COBRA Reimbursement Amount.” The
COBRA Reimbursement Amount will be paid to you using the same method you have
elected as of the Separation Date to receive your regular paychecks from the Company.
You will receive additional information regarding COBRA and other benefits under
separate cover.
▪From now until the Separation Date any outstanding equity grants will remain
outstanding and subject to the vesting and forfeiture rights and obligations in the Plan and
any equity award agreement(s) you may have signed. Except as otherwise noted in this
subparagraph, all unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or performance stock units
granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2019 Incentive Award Plan (the
“Plan”) will be forfeited on the Separation Date.
•Expenses: The Company will reimburse you for any authorized business expenses incurred
through the Separation Date, provided they were incurred and submitted in a timely manner
and otherwise in accordance with the Company’s policy.
•U.K. Taxes: The Company will continue to be responsible for any tax filing on your behalf
in the United Kingdom, consistent with the Company’s policy with respect to U.K. taxation
3
for executive officers. If you are subject to any incremental tax liability that is not offset by a
U.S. foreign tax credit, the Company will provide you with a tax equalization payment in an
amount equal to such tax liability (and any taxes on such payment), provided that you
provide any reasonably requested back-up information to the Company or its tax preparers.
•Restrictive Covenants: You acknowledge and agree that you are, and will remain, subject to
your Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, Confidential Information and
Invention Assignment Agreement and the restrictive covenants set forth in your equity award
agreements (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”).
•Remedies: In addition to any other remedies the Company may have, the Company’s
obligations under this Agreement shall terminate if you breach any of the provisions of this
Agreement (including any of the Restrictive Covenants). If, prior to the Separation Date, you
voluntarily terminate or give notice of your intent to voluntarily terminate your employment
or service with the Company, or are terminated for Cause (as defined in the Amended and
Restated Executive Severance Plan of Clarivate PLC, the “ESP”), you will be ineligible to
receive the Separation Benefits or any other benefits under this Agreement.
In addition to any other remedies the Company may have, if, following the Separation Date,
the Company discovers or otherwise learns of a serious conduct or performance issue(s) that
would have provided the Company with Cause to terminate your employment effective
immediately if you were still employed by the Company, you acknowledge and agree that, to
the extent not already received, you will forfeit all benefits provided to you under this
Agreement, including the Separation Benefits, and any amounts or benefits already paid or
received by you under this Agreement shall, upon written request by the Company, become
immediately repayable to the Company.
In consideration for the payments and benefits described herein, you agree to the following:
•Executing Agreement: You agree to execute and return this Agreement within twenty-one
(21) days of the date of this letter and execute and return Attachment A within the
Consideration Period defined in the Release. If you do not execute and return both this
Agreement and Attachment A by the designated deadlines, and/or if you revoke your
acceptance of the Release or the Bring-Down Release in Attachment A , this Agreement and
your eligibility for a Separation Benefits will be deemed to be automatically withdrawn and
of no legal effect.
•Confidentiality: You agree to treat as confidential and not disclose the terms, contents, or
execution of this Agreement or Attachment A , except as required by law, other than to your
spouse, legal counsel, or tax advisor, with the understanding that s/he will maintain its
confidentiality. This provision is not intended to restrict your legal right to discuss the terms
and conditions of your employment, as more specifically set forth in Section 5 (Protected
Rights) of the Release.
•Entire Agreement: This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties about the
subject matter hereof, and may not be contradicted by evidence prior, contemporaneous, or
subsequent oral agreements of the parties. Any modifications of the terms of this Agreement
4
must be made in writing and signed by all parties to the Agreement. All prior understandings
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether oral or written, are hereby
superseded by this Agreement other than any documents expressly referenced in this
Agreement, defined in Attachment A , or incorporated herein by reference. For the avoidance
of doubt, other than the payments and benefits described in this Agreement, you will not be
entitled to any other payments or benefits, including without limitation under the ESP or your
Offer Letter dated July 24, 2025. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
this Agreement and the Release shall not supersede, but shall supplement and, where
applicable, incorporate and extend, any prior confidentiality, non-competition and non-
solicitation agreements and provisions (including, without limitation, the Restrictive
Covenants) entered into between you and the Company (and any other nondisclosure or
other confidentiality agreement or provision, including those contained in any bonus, stock
grant or other incentive program plan of any kind), and such obligations shall continue in full
force and effect.
Please execute and return this Agreement within twenty-one (21) days to John Doulamis at
