This Change in Control and Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made by and between Ibotta, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Bryan Leach (“Executive”), effective as of the Effective Date, as defined in Section 7 below.

1.    Term of Agreement. This Agreement will continue indefinitely until terminated by written consent of the parties hereto, or if earlier, upon the date that all of the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied.

2.    At-Will Employment. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive’s employment is and will continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law. No payments, benefits, or provisions under this Agreement will confer upon Executive any right to continue Executive’s employment with the Company Group, nor will they interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company Group or Executive to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by applicable laws.

3.    Severance Benefits.

(a)    Qualifying Non-CIC Termination. In the event of a Qualifying Non-CIC Termination, Executive will receive the following payments and benefits from the Company, subject to the requirements of this Agreement:

(i)    Salary Severance. A single, lump sum, cash payment equal to 100% of Executive’s Salary.

(ii)    Bonus Severance.

(2)    If the Qualifying Non-CIC Termination (or, following an IPO, Executive’s termination due to death or Disability) occurs following the end of a performance period to which a cash performance incentive or bonus (“Cash Performance Incentive”) relates and before payments with respect to such performance period have been paid

(iii)    COBRA Severance. Subject to Executive timely electing continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) and further subject to Section 5(d), Executive will receive Company-paid group health, dental and vision coverage for Executive and any of Executive’s eligible dependents, as applicable (the “COBRA Severance”), following the Qualifying Non-CIC Termination until the earliest of: (A) 12 months following the date of the Qualifying Non-CIC Termination, (B) the date on which Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents (as applicable) become covered under similar plans, or (C) the expiration of Executive’s (and any of Executive’s eligible dependents’, as applicable) eligibility for continuation coverage under COBRA.

(iv)    Vesting Acceleration of Service-based Equity Awards. Vesting acceleration as to any Equity Awards that are outstanding and unvested as of the date of the Qualifying Non-CIC Termination that were scheduled to vest during the 12-month period following the date of the Qualifying Non-CIC Termination. In the event of conflict between this paragraph and the vesting provisions of any award agreements or notices governing Executive’s Equity Awards, the provisions of this paragraph shall control.

(b)    Qualifying CIC Termination. In the event of a Qualifying CIC Termination, Executive will receive the following payments and benefits from the Company, subject to the requirements of this Agreement:

(i)    Salary Severance. A single, lump sum, cash payment equal to 150% of Executive’s Salary.

(ii)    Bonus Severance.

(iii)    COBRA Severance. Subject to Executive timely electing continuation coverage under COBRA and further subject to Section 5(d), Executive will receive COBRA Severance until the earliest of: (A) 18 months following the date of the Qualifying CIC Termination, (B) the date on which Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents (as applicable) become covered under similar plans, or (C) the expiration of Executive’s (and any of Executive’s eligible dependents’, as applicable) eligibility for continuation coverage under COBRA.

(iv)    Vesting Acceleration of Service-based Equity Awards. Vesting acceleration of 100% of any Equity Awards that are outstanding and unvested as of the date of the Qualifying CIC Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Potential Qualifying CIC Termination, any then outstanding and unvested portion of Executive’s Awards will remain outstanding (and unvested) until the earlier of (x) 3 months following the Potential Qualifying CIC Termination, or (y) a Change in Control that occurs within 3 months following the Potential Qualifying CIC Termination, solely so that any benefits due on a Qualifying CIC Termination can be provided if the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company Group constitutes a Qualifying CIC Termination (provided that in no event will Executive’s stock option Awards or similar Awards remain outstanding beyond the Award’s maximum term to expiration). Unless otherwise provided in any particular award agreement or notice governing an Award of Executive, if no Change in Control occurs within 3 months following a Potential Qualifying CIC Termination, any unvested portion of Executive’s Awards (after taking into account the vesting acceleration described in Section 3(a)(iv)) automatically and permanently will be forfeited on the date 3 months following the date of the Potential Qualifying CIC Termination without having vested. In the event of conflict between this paragraph and the vesting provisions of any award agreements or notices governing Executive’s Equity Awards, the provisions of this paragraph shall control.

(c)    Termination Other Than a Qualifying Termination. If the termination of Executive’s employment does not constitute a Qualifying Termination, then Executive will not be entitled to receive any severance or other benefits in connection with such termination except for those, if any, as may then be established under the applicable Company Group member’s then existing severance and benefits plans or programs.

(d)    Non-duplication of Payment or Benefits. For purposes of clarity, in the event that, within 3 months after a Qualifying Non-CIC Termination, a Change in Control occurs (resulting in the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company Group constituting a Qualifying CIC Termination), any severance payments and benefits to be provided to Executive under Section 3(b) will be reduced by any amounts that already were provided to Executive under Section 3(a). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing between Executive and the Company, if Executive is entitled to any cash severance, continued health coverage benefits, vesting acceleration of any Equity Awards, or other severance or separation benefits similar to those provided under this Agreement, by operation of applicable law or under a plan, policy, contract, or arrangement sponsored by or to which any Company Group member is a party other than this Agreement (“Other Benefits”), then the corresponding severance payments and benefits under this Agreement will be reduced by the amount of Other Benefits paid or provided to Executive.

(e)    Death of Executive. In the event of Executive’s death before all payments or benefits Executive is entitled to receive under this Agreement have been provided, the unpaid amounts will be provided to Executive’s designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to Executive’s estate or personal representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f)    Transfer Between Members of the Company Group. For purposes of this Agreement, if Executive is involuntarily transferred from one member of the Company Group to another, the transfer will not be a termination without Cause but may give the Executive the ability to resign for Good Reason.

4.    Accrued Compensation. On any termination of Executive’s employment with the Company Group, Executive will be entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, wages, and other benefits due to Executive under any Company Group-provided plans, policies, and arrangements.

5.    Conditions to Receipt of Severance.

(a)    Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon a Qualifying Termination under Section 3 is subject to Executive (or Executive’s estate or legal representative (as the case may be)) signing and not revoking the Company’s then standard separation agreement and release of claims with the Company (the “Release”), which must be provided to Executive by Company within three (3) business days of a Qualifying Termination, and must become effective and irrevocable no later than the 60th day following the date of the Qualifying Termination (the “Release Deadline Date”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline Date, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under Section 3.

(b)    Return of Company Group Property. Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon Executive’s Qualifying Termination under Section 3 is subject to Executive returning all documents and other property provided to Executive by any member of the Company Group (with the exception of a copy of the Company employee handbook and personnel documents specifically relating to Executive), developed or obtained by Executive in connection with his employment with the Company Group, or otherwise belonging to the Company Group.

(c)    Payment Timing. Any lump sum cash severance payments under Section 3 relating to salary severance and any bonus severance will be provided to Executive on the first regularly scheduled payroll date of the applicable Company Group member following the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable, except with respect to Cash Incentive Payments provided for in Section 3(a)(ii)(2) or Section 3(b)(ii)(2), which will be paid at the same time related Cash Incentive Payments are paid to senior executives of the Company generally, in any such case, subject to any delay required by Section 5(e) below. Any Equity Awards that are restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, and/or similar full value awards (“Full Value Awards”) that accelerate vesting under either Section 3(a)(iv) or Section 3(b)(iv) will be settled, subject to any delay required by Section 5(e) below (or the terms of the Full Value Award agreement or other plan, policy, or arrangement of a Company Group member

governing the settlement timing of the Full Value Award to the extent such terms specifically require any such delay in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, as applicable), (i) on a date within 10 days following the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable with respect to (A) acceleration of vesting pursuant to Section 3(a)(iv) or (B) acceleration of vesting pursuant to Section 3(b)(iv) in connection with a Qualifying CIC Termination that occurs on or following the applicable Change in Control, or (ii) in the event of a Qualifying CIC Termination that occurs prior to a Change in Control, as of immediately before the completion of the Change in Control as to that portion of the Full Value Awards that have not yet vested pursuant to Section 3(a)(iv). Any Equity Awards that are not Full Value Awards (“Fair Market Value Awards”) that accelerate vesting under either Section 3(a)(iv) or Section 3(b)(iv) will accelerate and be able to be exercised (i) immediately upon the Release becoming effective and irrevocable with respect to Fair Market Value Awards that have accelerated (A) pursuant to Section 3(a)(iv), or (B) pursuant to Section 3(b)(iv) in connection with a Qualifying CIC Termination that occurs on or following the applicable Change in Control, or (ii) in the event of a Qualifying CIC Termination that occurs prior to a Change in Control, (A) prior to the completion of the Change in Control, immediately upon the Release becoming effective and irrevocable, as to that portion of the Fair Market Value Awards that has vested pursuant to Section 3(a)(iv), and (B) immediately before the completion of the Change in Control as to that portion of the Fair Market Value Awards that have not yet vested pursuant to Section 3(a)(iv), and in any event subject to the Award agreement applicable to each such Award.

(d)    COBRA Severance Limitations. If the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA Severance without potentially violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then in lieu of such COBRA Severance, subject to any delay required by Section 5(e) below, the Company will provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment payable on the last day of a given month (except as provided by the immediately following sentence), in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue Executive’s group health coverage in effect on the date of the Qualifying Termination (which amount will be based on the premium rates applicable for the first month of COBRA Severance for Executive and any eligible dependents of Executive) (each, a “COBRA Replacement Payment”), which COBRA Replacement Payments will be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will end on the earlier of (i) the date upon which Executive obtains other employment, or (ii) the date the Company has paid an amount totaling the number of COBRA Replacement Payments equal to the number of months in the applicable COBRA Severance period set forth in clause (A) of Section 3(a)(iii) or Section 3(b)(iii), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the COBRA Replacement Payments may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to any applicable withholdings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement, if the Company determines in its sole discretion at any time that it cannot provide the COBRA Replacement Payments without violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), Executive will not receive the COBRA Replacement Payments or any further COBRA Severance.

(e)    Section 409A. The Company intends that all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise are exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities and ambiguous terms in this Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with this intent. No payments or benefits to be provided to Executive, if any, under this Agreement or otherwise, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. To the extent required to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A, references to the termination of Executive’s employment or similar phrases used in this Agreement will mean Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

6.    Limitation on Payments.

(a)    Reduction of Severance Benefits. If any payment or benefit that Executive would receive from any member of the Company Group or any other party whether in connection with the provisions in this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payments”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments will be either delivered in full, or delivered as to such lesser extent that would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of Payments, notwithstanding that all or some of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in Payments is made in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the reduction will occur, with respect to the Payments considered parachute payments within the meaning of Code Section 280G, in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments in reverse chronological order (that is, the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the Excise Tax will be the first cash payment to be reduced); (B) cancellation of equity awards that were granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code in the reverse order of date of grant of the equity awards (that is, the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); (C) reduction of the accelerated vesting of equity awards in the reverse order of date of grant of the equity awards (that is, the vesting of the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); and (D) reduction of employee benefits in reverse chronological order (that is, the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the Excise Tax will be the first benefit to be reduced). In no event will Executive have any discretion with respect to the ordering of Payment reductions. Executive will be solely responsible for the payment of all personal tax liability that is incurred as a result of the payments and benefits received under this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company have any responsibility, liability or obligation to reimburse, indemnify or hold harmless Executive for any of those payments of personal tax liability.

(b)    Determination of Excise Tax Liability. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determinations required under this Section 6 will be made in writing by a nationally recognized accounting or valuation firm (the “Firm”) selected by the Company, whose determinations will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm reasonably may request in order to make determinations under this Section 6. The Company will bear the costs and make all payments required to be made to the Firm for the Firm’s services that are rendered in connection with any calculations contemplated
