Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.

(a) Disclosure in lieu of reporting on a Current Report on Form 8-K

On February 1, 2026, the Company entered into revised employment agreements for Jeffrey C. Sprecher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Benjamin Jackson, President, Intercontinental Exchange, Warren Gardiner, Chief Financial Officer, Lynn Martin, President, NYSE Group and Christopher Edmonds, President, Fixed Income & Data Services, as well as revised employment agreements for each of the Company’s other U.S. executive officers, collectively referred to as the Employment Agreements. The terms of each Employment Agreement are substantially similar, other than the employment term (and corresponding cash severance multiple) that applies to each executive (three years for Mr. Sprecher, two years for Messrs. Jackson, Gardiner and Edmonds and Ms. Martin, and generally one year for each other U.S. executive officer).

Among other modifications, the revisions include the addition of a retirement termination provision, for which eligibility generally requires: (1) the executive’s age plus years of service is equal to or greater than 65; (2) the executive is at least 55 years of age; (3) the executive has been an officer for at least five years; and (4) the executive provides a minimum of six months’ written notice of retirement. Upon a retirement termination, the executive will be entitled to continued vesting of equity awards granted following the effective date of the revised employment agreement and more than 12 months prior to retirement (based on actual performance for performance awards); provided that the executive agrees to extend the executive’s restrictive covenants through such vesting periods. Further, upon a termination for disability or death, the executive (or his or her beneficiary, legal representative or estate) will be entitled to a prorated current year target bonus and any earned but unpaid bonus for the prior year.

The Company also made certain other modifications to the Employment Agreements to reflect, among other things, changes that have occurred in the Company’s business and operations since the Employment Agreements were last amended. These changes include, but are not limited to, updates to each executive’s base salary and target annual bonus and equity award opportunity as reflected in the Employment Agreements, updates to the definition of the Company’s “business” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) for purposes of the post-employment non-competition obligation, and additions of certain other provisions consistent with the Company’s current practices in executive agreements, such as a non-disparagement obligation. Additionally, Mr. Sprecher’s Employment Agreement provides that his post-employment non-competition and non-solicitation obligations will apply following a change in control termination and extends his confidentiality obligations to be perpetual, consistent with the Employment Agreements with the other executives.

The descriptions of the Employment Agreement modifications set forth above are not complete and are qualified in all respects by reference to the Employments Agreements. Copies of the Employment Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.6 and incorporated herein by reference.
