Mr. Miralles has been President of CNA Warranty since October 2019 and previously served as Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer of the CNA Insurance Companies from January 2018 to October 2019; as President, Long-Term Care of the CNA Insurance Companies from March 2014 to December 2017; and as Senior Vice President and Treasurer of the CNA Insurance Companies from August 2011 to March 2014.

Additionally, he will receive a one-time cash sign-on bonus of $300,000, subject to repayment in the event of Mr. Miralles' resignation or termination for cause within one year and, to compensate Mr. Miralles for equity awards forfeited at his prior employer, a one-time grant of restricted stock units with a grant date target value of $2,900,000 and vesting in installments based on Mr. Miralles' continued service through March 15, 2024. Mr. Miralles and the Company will enter into a compensation protection agreement, noncompetition agreement and indemnification agreement substantially similar to the form of compensation protection agreement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.8 with the Company's Form 10-K filed on February 26, 2021, the noncompetition agreement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.3 with the Company's Form 8-K filed on March 14, 2016, and the indemnification agreement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.32 with the Company's Amendment No. 2 to Form S-1 filed on June 14, 2013, respectively.

As previously announced by the Company, Collin B. Kebo, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will be retiring from his current position when Mr. Miralles joins the Company.
