Re: SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

Dear Xxxxx:

This letter sets forth the terms of a Separation Agreement and General Release (“Agreement”) between you and AstroNova, Inc. (“AstroNova” or the “Company”).

As discussed, your employment with AstroNova will be terminated effective July 12, 2024 (the “Separation Date”). Regardless of whether you sign this Agreement, AstroNova will pay you your base salary, less regular deductions through the Separation Date, and following the Separation Date, you will have the opportunity to continue group medical and dental insurance coverage under the law known as “COBRA.” The terms of that opportunity will be set forth in a separate written notice. Your eligibility to participate in any other employee benefit plans and programs of the Company will end on the Separation Date.

TERMS OF AGREEMENT:

1. Consideration: If you sign this Agreement and do not exercise your right to revoke as set forth in Paragraph 10(e) hereof, AstroNova will provide you with the following:

a. Payment of your base salary (minus federal, state, and local withholdings and any liens), at your current weekly rate times fifty-two (52) weeks (not including bonuses or other incentives), in weekly payments in accordance with AstroNova’s usual payroll practices. These payments will commence after the seven-day revocation period described in Paragraph 10(e) of this agreement.

b. Payment of your housing allowance through July 2024. In addition, should you choose to terminate your lease at [***] on or prior to July 31, 2024, AstroNova will reimburse you for any documented early termination or lease breakage fee therefor.

c. All outstanding and unvested time-based restricted stock units previously granted to you (but not including performance-based restricted stock units that have become Earned RSUs within the meaning of those awards), which are listed on Schedule A to this letter, shall continue to vest following the Separation Date in accordance with their original vesting schedules, notwithstanding the occurrence of the termination of your employment with AstroNova.

d. Any options issued under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan Incentive Stock Option will terminate in accordance with the terms of that plan, more specifically: one (1) year after the date of termination of your service resulting from your retirement from active employment at or after age 65.

e. Should you elect COBRA continuation coverage on a timely basis, the Company will subsidize 100% of the cost of COBRA coverage until the earlier to occur of (i) 18 months following the Separation Date or (ii) the date you obtain alternate coverage through another employer or provider.

2. Performance-based Restricted Stock Units: All outstanding performance-based restricted stock units previously granted to you that have become Earned RSUs(within the meaning of those awards) prior to the Separation Date, which are listed on Schedule A to this letter and which you agree are the only performance-based restricted stock units previously granted to you that have become Earned RSUs(within the meaning of those awards), shall become fully vested and will be settled on January 13, 2025, in accordance with the terms of those awards and Section 409A of the Code . All performance-based restricted stock units that have not become Earned RSUs(within the meaning of those awards) prior to the Separation Date shall terminate on the Separation Date.

3. Paid Time Off: Whether or not you sign this Agreement, any accrued and unused PTO pay will be paid on the next regularly scheduled pay date after the Separation Date. You will not accrue PTO after your Separation Date.

4. Life and AD&D Insurance: Your group term life insurance coverage will terminate as of the Termination Date. You have the option of continuing existing life insurance coverage following this termination, by paying the full costs of the premium as established by Lincoln Financial. Contact Human Resources if you desire conversion information on life insurance. Conversion application must occur within thirty (30) days of when coverage terminates. Business Travel Accident coverage also ceases on the Termination Date. There is no conversion option for the Business Travel Accident coverage.

5. Other Compensation or Benefits: You acknowledge and agree that, except as expressly provided in this Separation Agreement, you will not receive any additional compensation, severance or other benefits after your Separation Date.

6. Confidentiality/No Admission: You agree to keep the existence and all specific terms of this Agreement confidential and you further agree not to disclose any information concerning this Agreement to any person, company, entity or third party other than your attorney, accountant, tax advisor, immediate family and spouse, if married. You and AstroNova also agree that the existence of this Agreement is not an admission by AstroNova that the termination of your employment was in any way wrongful, discriminatory, or violated any law.

7. Future Conduct: You acknowledge that while employed by AstroNova you had access to AstroNova’s confidential and proprietary information and/or trade secrets. You confirm the existence and continued validity of the Confidentiality, Non-Competition, and Proprietary Rights Agreement (“Confidentiality Agreement”) you executed on January 12, 2018. Your continued compliance with the Confidentiality Agreement is a condition of AstroNova providing the consideration described above to you. Furthermore, you agree that you will not make any statements, whether verbally or in writing, including in electronic communications, that are professionally or personally disparaging of, or adverse to the interests of, AstroNova, its subsidiaries (direct and indirect), affiliates, related companies, divisions, and predecessor and successor companies or any of their officers, directors, managers or employees. XxxxxXxxx agrees that it will instruct its directors, executive officers, senior managers and senior members of its finance staff not to make any statements, whether verbally or in writing, including in electronic communications, that are professionally or personally disparaging of you or adverse to your interests. Further, beginning on the date hereof and continuing through the salary continuation period described in Section 1(a) above, you shall promptly and fully respond to reasonable requests for information from AstroNova or its representatives relating to matters arising from your employment with AstroNova.

Astronova agrees to promptly (and in no event later than thirty days following the Separation Date) cause any AstroNova subsidiary to take all necessary actions to remove you from any Board or Officer positions and all foreign and domestic bank account signatory authorities. AstroNova will promptly notify you when these actions have been completed.

The Company acknowledges the existence and validity of the Indemnification Agreement you executed on November 23, 2021.
