SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT This is a Separation and Release Agreement (“Agreement”), entered into among CURO Group Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“CURO”), Curo Management LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“CMLLC”), and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, an individual (“Employee”). As used in this Agreement, the term “Company” includes both CURO and CMLLC, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. 1. Background and Purpose. Employee was employed by the Company. Employee’s employment is being terminated, and the parties wish to resolve any outstanding issues between them. This Agreement accomplishes a written statement of current benefits, and additional benefits granted to Employee to which Employee would not otherwise be entitled. The additional benefits are granted in consideration for the covenants, commitments and releases in this Agreement and the resolution of all outstanding issues between the parties. 2. Separation Date. Employee will discontinue serving and holding himself out as the Chief Technology Officer effective as of April 1, 2024 (the “Separation Date”). The Company will (a) pay Employee his base salary through the Separation Date in accordance with its normal payroll practices, less required deductions and tax withholdings, (b) continue Employee’s health care coverage (and deduct Employee’s portion of the premiums from Employee’s base salary) through the last day of the calendar month in which the Separation Date occurs, and (c) reimburse Employee for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the Separation Date. 3. Employee Representations. Employee specifically represents, warrants and confirms that Employee: a. Has been properly paid for all services provided to the Company and its affiliates, except for those set forth in this Agreement; b. Has no known workplace injuries or occupational diseases; and c. Has not engaged in any unlawful conduct relating to the business of the Company or its affiliates. 4. Additional Benefits. If Employee signs and does not revoke this Agreement in accordance with Paragraphs 7 and 8, the Company will provide Employee with the following benefits to which Employee would not otherwise be entitled as consideration for the commitments and releases in this Agreement: x. Xxxxxxxxx Payment. The Company will continue Employee’s base salary for 12 calendar months, i.e., through April 1, 2025 (the “Severance Period”), in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices, less required deductions and tax withholdings. Subject to any delay required by Section 17 below, the separation payments will begin on the Company’s first regular pay day following the later of

2 (i) the Separation Date or (ii) the Effective Date (as defined in Section 8). If the Effective Date is later than the Separation Date, the first separation payment after the Effective Date also will include any delayed separation payments that would have otherwise been paid during the portion of the Severance Period prior to the Effective Date. b. COBRA Contribution. To the extent permitted by applicable law without any penalty to Employee or the Company and subject to Employee’s election of COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan for Employee and/or Employee’s spouse or other eligible dependents, on the first regularly scheduled payroll date of each month of the Severance Period during which Employee and/or Employee’s spouse or eligible dependents are receiving COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan (the “COBRA Continuation Period”), subject to any delay required by Section 17 below, the Company will pay its COBRA administrator an amount equal to the “applicable percentage” of the monthly COBRA premium cost for such coverage; provided that the payments pursuant to this provision will be made on an after-tax basis and cease earlier than the expiration of the COBRA Continuation Period in the event (and to the extent) that Employee becomes eligible to receive any health benefits, including through a spouse's employer, during the COBRA Continuation Period or Employee and/or Employee’s spouse or other eligible dependents otherwise cease receiving COBRA continuation coverage. For purposes hereof, the “applicable percentage” shall be the percentage of Employee’s health care premium costs for the applicable coverage paid by the Company as of the Separation Date. 5. Other Benefits. All other benefits cease as of the last day of the month in which the Separation Date occurs. 6. Release.

5 12. Nonadmission of Liability. By execution of this Agreement, the Company and Released Parties specifically deny any wrongdoing as to Employee, and specifically disclaim any violation of any law, contract, public policy or the commission of any tort. 13. Nonretention of Property. Employee represents and warrants that Employee has not deleted or destroyed, nor will Employee delete or destroy, any Company property or records, including but not limited to any emails or other electronically stored information, since first receiving a copy of this Agreement. Employee has returned all Company property to the Company (in working order) including, without limitation, any Company laptop, cell phone, key fob, credit cards, reports, files, memoranda, records, instruction manuals and other physical or personal property which Employee received, compiled, prepared or helped to prepare, in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company, its predecessors, subsidiaries or affiliates; and Employee has not retained and will not retain any copies, duplications, reproductions or excerpts thereof. 14.

Separability. The invalidity of any paragraph or subparagraph of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of any other paragraph or subparagraph of this Agreement. 16. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the State of Illinois. Employee agrees to submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of Illinois for any litigation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (and waives any right to the contrary). 17. Section 409A Compliance. Any reference to termination of employment shall be interpreted to require a “Separation From Service” as defined under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), including the presumptions provided in that section. Amounts payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder under the involuntary severance pay and short-term deferral exemptions. If an amount is to be paid under this Agreement in two or more installments, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. To the extent they are not exempt, they are intended to comply with Section 409A and shall be interpreted and operated consistently with those intentions. The times and schedules of payment under this Agreement may not be accelerated or delayed for any reason except as permitted by Section 409A. In addition to any other restriction in Section 6 of this Agreement, the Agreement may not be amended or terminated except in compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other timing provision in this Agreement, if, at the time any payment that is not exempt from Section 409A would commence due to a separation from service, and Employee is a “specified employee” as that term is defined by Section 409A of the Code, then no such payment under this Agreement may be paid before the date that is six months after Employee’s separation from service. Payments that are not exempt from Section 409A and that Employee would

6 otherwise have been entitled to during those six months will be accumulated and paid on the first payroll date after six months following Employee’s separation from service. All payments that are exempt from Section 409A, or that would otherwise be made more than six months following Employee’s separation from service, will be made in accordance with the general timing provisions described above. 18.

This Agreement and the specific provisions of Employee’s Employment Agreement that are referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties and supersede all previous verbal and written agreements concerning the same subject matters covered by such agreements. There are no other agreements, representations or warranties not referenced or set forth in this Agreement. 19. Signature.
