New Severance and Change of Control Agreements

On March 26, 2025, Stratus entered into new Severance and Change of Control Agreements (the Agreements) with each of William H. Armstrong III, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Erin D. Pickens, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the Executives), effective as of April 1, 2025. The current severance and change of control agreements entered into between Stratus and the Executives dated April 1, 2022 expire on March 31, 2025. The Agreements shall continue in effect through March 31, 2028 and entitle the Executives to receive benefits in the event of a termination of employment under certain circumstances prior to or following a change of control of Stratus during the term of the Agreements.

Under each Agreement, if Stratus terminates the Executive without cause or the Executive voluntarily terminates his or her employment for good reason (as such terms are defined in the Agreements) during the term of the Agreements and prior to a change of control, the Executive will receive a pro-rata bonus for the year in which he or she was terminated plus a lump-sum cash payment equal to two times the sum of (i) the Executive’s base salary in effect at the time of termination and (ii) the average of the annual bonuses received by the Executive for the three most recently competed fiscal years prior to the termination date (the Average Bonus). In addition, Stratus shall continue to provide insurance and welfare benefits to the Executive until the earlier of (i) December 31 of the first calendar year following the calendar year of the termination or (ii) the date the Executive accepts new employment (the Continued Benefits).

Additionally, if Stratus or its successor terminates the Executive during the three-year period following a change of control, other than by reason of death, disability or cause, or the Executive voluntarily terminates his or her employment for good reason (as such terms are defined in the Agreements), the Executive will receive a pro-rata bonus for the year in which he or she was terminated plus a lump-sum cash payment equal to 2.99 times the sum of (i) the Executive’s base salary in effect at the time of termination, or if higher, immediately preceding the change of control (with such base salary being determined without regard to any reduction that would provide the Executive a basis to terminate employment for good reason) and (ii) the Average Bonus. In addition, Stratus shall continue to provide the Continued Benefits. If any part of the payments or benefits received by the Executive in connection with a termination following a change of control constitutes an excess parachute payment under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Executive will receive the greater of (i) the amount of such payments and benefits reduced so that none of the amount constitutes an excess parachute payment, net of income taxes or (ii) the amount of such payments and benefits, net of income taxes and net of excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Agreements provide that for purposes of the Average Bonus, each annual bonus amount shall include amounts paid in cash or in restricted stock units, if applicable, in accordance with the terms of Stratus’ Executive Annual Incentive Plan (the AIP), and if the Executive receives a Long-Term Incentive Plan award in lieu of an annual bonus under the AIP for a given fiscal year (pursuant to the terms of the AIP requiring the payment of only the greater of the two awards), the Executive’s annual bonus for such fiscal year shall be the calculated annual bonus the Executive would have received for such fiscal year.

The foregoing description of the Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full textof the Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.46 and 10.47, and are incorporated herein by reference.
