On June 28, 2024, the board of directors (the "Board") of Shutterstock, Inc. (the "Company") and the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") approved (i) an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Employment Agreement of the Company's chief executive officer, Paul J. Hennessy (the "Employment Agreement"), and (ii) a grant of equity to Mr. Hennessy (the "2026 Vesting Award") that will vest on July 1, 2026 pursuant to the terms described below.

The Compensation Committee and Board determined to approve the 2026 Vesting Award and the Amendment in order to incentivize Mr. Hennessy's continued service and performance for the Company and to promote his retention for an additional period of service through July 1, 2026, following the July 1, 2025 vesting date of his other outstanding equity awards. The 2026 Vesting Award was also designed to recognize Mr. Hennessy's significant contributions to the Company and the importance of his continued service for the Company, while aligning his pay with Company performance and stockholder value. The terms of the 2026 Vesting Award and Amendment are described below.

2026 Vesting Award.The 2026 Vesting Award was approved pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement and provides for the following:

• Seventy-five percent of the target value of the 2026 Vesting Award, or $6,375,000, will consist of 162,544 performance stock units ("PSUs") that will vest on July 1, 2026, contingent on Mr. Hennessy's continued service through the vesting date and his achievement of performance goals to be established and approved by the Compensation Committee. The performance goals of the PSUs will reflect key metrics that the Company uses to manage its business and drive stockholder returns over time, such as the adjusted EBITDA margin and revenue growth targets previously used for the Company's PSUs.

• The remaining twenty-five percent of the value of the 2026 Vesting Award, or $2,125,000, consists of 54,181 time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") that will vest in full on July 1, 2026, subject to Mr. Hennessy's continued service through the vesting date.

Amendment to Employment Agreement.The Amendment provides that (i) in the event that the Company terminates Mr. Hennessy's employment without cause on or after July 1, 2026, he will only receive a pro-rated annual bonus for the year of termination, subject to the execution of a release, without any additional severance benefits, but that (ii) in the event that the Company terminates Mr. Hennessy's employment prior to July 1, 2026, he will continue to be eligible to receive payments and benefits in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, including:

• In the case of a termination without cause that does not occur within 12 months following a change in control: (i) continued payment of his salary for eighteen months, (ii) reimbursement for certain medical insurance premiums for up to eighteen months, (ii) the immediate vesting of all unvested restricted stock units and a prorated portion of unvested performance stock units based on actual performance, and (iv) a prorated annual bonus based on actual performance.

• In the case of a termination without cause or for good reason within 12 months following a change in control: (i) a lump sum payment equal to eighteen months of his base salary, (ii) reimbursement for certain medical insurance premiums for up to twelve months, (iii) the immediate vesting of all unvested equity awards, and (iv) a lump sum payment equal to his target bonus amount for the year of termination.

Mr. Hennessy is not entitled to any severance benefits under the Employment Agreement or the Amendment in connection with a voluntary resignation. In addition, Mr. Hennessy is not entitled to severance benefits under the Company's Severance Plan under the terms of the Amendment.
