Exhibit 10.18
EXHIBIT A

FORM OF SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND FULL RELEASE

THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (“Agreement”), dated as of
, 2025, is between Kulesh Shanmugasundaram (referred to herein as “Employee”) and Angi Inc. (referred to herein as “Employer”) (referred to collectively throughout as “parties”). The parties have agreed that Employee will separate Employee’s employment from Employer, as provided in this Agreement and, in connection with such separation of employment, Employer has agreed to provide Employee with certain benefits to which Employee would not otherwise be entitled absent Employee’s execution of this Agreement. In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, Employee and Employer agree as follows:

1.Separation of Employment. The parties have agreed that Employee’s final day of employment with Employer is March 31, 2025 (the “Separation Date”). The parties further agree that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all benefits and privileges of Employee terminate as of the close of business on the Separation Date.

2.Payments. In connection with Employee’s separation from employment, Company will continue to pay Employee’s base salary (less applicable tax withholdings) in biweekly installments (or, if different, in accordance with the Company’s payroll practice as in effect from time to time) over the course of 12 months from the Separation Date; and will accelerate Employee’s unvested equity that would vest within the 12 months of the date of Employee’s Separation Date (the “Severance Payment”). For clarity, 200,000 RSUs will accelerate from Employee’s March 1, 2023 award and 187,500 RSUs will accelerate from Employee’s March 1, 2024 award. The Severance Payment will be in the form of the cash severance and acceleration of Angi RSUs provided for in the two preceding sentences are expressly conditioned on the Employee having not revoked this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 16. The Severance Payment shall be less required deductions, including deductions for applicable state and federal taxes. If Employee timely and properly elects COBRA continuation coverage under the Company group health plan for Employee and Employee’s eligible dependents, Company will reimburse Employee for the cost of such COBRA continuation coverage until the earliest of: (i) the date Employee becomes eligible for coverage under another employer’s health plan; or (ii) twelve months from the Separation Date (the “Separation Benefits”). The Severance Payment and Severance Benefits are provided in exchange for the releases and other promises made by Employee herein. Employee acknowledges that Employee is not entitled to the Severance Payment and Severance Benefits outlined in this Section 2 and that Company has agreed to provide such benefit solely as consideration for Employee’s execution of this Agreement. Employee further acknowledges that the Severance Payment is provided in full satisfaction of any and all obligations to Employee under the terms of the Employment Agreement between Employee and Company dated March 25, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”). Further, as provided in the Employment Agreement, if Employee obtains other employment during the 12 months after the Separation Date, Employee shall inform the Company of such employment status and any such remaining payments or benefits to be provided to Employee under this Section shall be reduced by the amount of compensation and benefits earned by Executive from such other employment through the end of such period.

3.Confidential Information, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. Employee agrees that as a result of Employee’s employment relationship with Employer, Employee has acquired access to or knowledge of confidential information and/or trade secrets, and that such information has economic value, either actual or potential, because such information is not generally known or readily ascertainable
4


Exhibit 10.18
by proper means by others who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. Employee therefore understands and agrees that the Confidential Information, Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Proprietary Rights provision that Employee signed as part of Employee’s Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect following Employee’s termination of employment with Employer. Employee further agrees that as a result of Employee’s employment relationship with Employer, Employee has acquired access to sensitive customer information that is personal, confidential and may be subject to additional protection under contract, or local, state or federal statutes, rules, or regulations. Employee understands and acknowledges Employee’s obligation to keep such information confidential and agrees that Employee will not use or disclose to third parties any such confidential customer information. Employee understands that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Employee from reporting to any governmental authority information concerning possible violations of law or regulation and that Employee may disclose trade secret information to a government official or to an attorney and use it in certain court proceedings without fear of prosecution or liability provided Employee does so consistent with 18 U.S.C. 1833. This Agreement shall not limit any obligations Employee has under any employee confidentiality agreement, or terms and conditions of employment to which Employee has agreed, or applicable state law.

4.Return of Company Property. Employee acknowledges that prior to the date on which Employee signs this Agreement, Employee has returned all Company property in Employee’s possession, including, but not limited to, any Company credit card (or credit card on which the Company is guarantor), computer, or printer. Employee is entitled to retain his Company laptop computer at no cost, once it has been wiped clean and processed by Company’s information security department. Further, Employee agrees to repay to Employer the amount of any permanent or temporary advances and balance owing on any credit cards of any monies due and owing Employer or for which Employer is a guarantor.

5.Confidentiality and Nondisparagement. An essential and material term of this Agreement shall be that Employee shall keep confidential Employee’s understanding of the nature and existence and terms of this Agreement, negotiations leading to its execution, the fact of its execution, and the conveyance of the consideration to Employee, as well as the fact of and substance of negotiations, discussions, correspondence and other related matters that preceded the execution of this Agreement (collectively “Information”) to the extent permitted by law. Except as expressly allowed under law, Employee agrees that Employee will not, directly or indirectly, in any way publish, reveal, disclose, or communicate to any government agency, person, or entity any of the Information, except Employee’s spouse, or Employee’s legal or tax advisors (who shall agree to be bound to Employee’s non-disclosure obligations before Employee communicates Information to them), without first obtaining the express written consent of Employer. If any Information is sought from Employee pursuant to a valid and binding court order, or if Employee or any representative of Employee is subpoenaed or called as a witness at any deposition or trial in any action, regardless of whether Employee and/or Employer are Parties to said action, in which data, correspondence, communications or other documentation relating to the Information is sought, then Employee shall immediately notify Employer or any successor thereto of the time and place of the proceeding to which Employee or Employee’s representative has been called to testify sufficiently in advance, in which case Employee’s subsequent provision of such testimony shall not be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

Employee agrees to make every reasonable effort to maintain and protect the reputation of Employer and its affiliates and that of their businesses, products, directors, officers, employees, and agents. Employee further agrees that Employee will not disparage Employer and its affiliates or their businesses, products, directors, officers, employees, and agents (or persons representing them in their official capacity) or

engage in any activities that reasonably could be anticipated to harm their reputation, operations, or relationships with current or prospective customers, suppliers, residents, clients or employees.

6


Exhibit 10.18
vested rights Employee may have under the Employer’s 401(k) Plan or any other Employer employee benefit plan that Employee cannot waive.

b.Nothing in this Agreement limits, prevents, or prohibits Employee from reporting, discussing, or disclosing (orally or in writing) actual or alleged discriminatory, unfair, or illegal conduct (including unlawful employment practices) to others, including but not limited to federal, state, or local officials, authorities or agencies.

It is the intent of the parties that this Full General Release shall fully resolve any and all Claims of any nature whatsoever arising out of Employee’s employment with Employer, now or previously existing which Employee may have against the Released Parties, whether presently known or unknown.

7.No Charges Filed By Employee/Subsequent Proceedings Barred. Employee hereby warrants and represents that Employee has not filed or caused to be filed any charge or claim against any Released Party with any administrative agency, court of law, or other tribunal, but this warranty and representation does not prevent Employee from exercising his rights under Section 6 of this Agreement. Employee agrees not to pursue or bring before any federal, state, or other governmental authority or court any claim, complaint, or charge against any of the Released Parties relating to any of the matters released hereby, and Employee further agrees that Employee is not entitled to any remedy or relief if Employee were to pursue any such claim, complaint or charge. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere with Employee’s right to participate in the charge filing or investigative process with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or similar local, state, or federal agency. However, Employee covenants and agrees that should any administrative proceeding, charge, lawsuit, or action of any type against Employer be filed by Employee or on his behalf, Employee will not accept any monies therefrom. Employee covenants and agrees that if Employee or Employee’s assigns or successors hereafter commence, join in, or in any manner seek relief through any suit arising out of, based upon, or relating to the released Claims or in any manner assert against Employer any of the released Claims, Employee will indemnify and hold harmless Employer, and including and in addition to any other damages caused to Employer thereby, the payment of attorneys’ fees incurred by Employer in defending or otherwise responding to said suit or claim. Employee also agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Employer against any and all past or future claims made, if any, with respect to the released Claims.

In addition, Employee understands and agrees that the provisions of the Arbitration Agreement signed by Employee previously shall remain in full force and effect following Employee’s termination of employment with Employer.

8.Compensation and Benefits. Employee affirms that Employee has been paid and received all wages and other compensation, as defined by either federal or state law, to which Employee has been entitled, including but not limited to any and all compensation, reimbursements, bonuses, commissions, overtime, vacation time, paid time off, leave, deferred compensation, or any other form of remuneration to which Employee has been entitled as a result of Employee’s employment with Employer. Except as provided above, Employee has no claim to any compensation or benefits of any
7


Exhibit 10.18
kind or any other benefit plan available to employees of Employer by virtue of their employment with Employer.

9.Acceptance Period; Right to Rescind and/or Revoke. Employee has been informed that the terms of this Agreement shall be open for acceptance by Employee for a period of at least 21 days after the date set forth above, during which time Employee may consider whether or not to accept this Agreement and seek counsel to advise Employee regarding the same. Employee agrees that changes to this Agreement, whether material or immaterial, will not restart this acceptance period. Employee has the right to revoke this Agreement only insofar as it extends to potential claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act by informing Employer of Employee’s intent to revoke this Agreement within seven (7) calendar days following Employee’s execution of it. Employee understands and agrees that this Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until this 7-day revocation period has expired. Any rescission by Employee must be in writing and hand-delivered to Employer or, if sent by e-mail to the Chief Legal Officer, shannon.shaw@angi.com. Employee agrees that if Employee exercises any right of rescission or revocation, Employer may at its option either nullify this Agreement in its entirety or keep it in effect as to all claims not rescinded or revoked in accordance with the rescission or revocation provisions of this Agreement. In the event Employer opts to nullify the entire Agreement, neither Employee nor Employer will have any rights or obligations whatsoever under this Agreement. Any rescission or revocation, however, does not affect Employee’s separation from employment effective as of the date set forth in Section 1.

10.No Admission. This Agreement is not an admission by the Employer that it has taken any improper actions with respect to Employee in violation of any federal, state, or local law or regulation.

11.No Adequate Remedy. Employee agrees that it is impossible to measure in money all of the damages which will accrue to Employer by reason of Employee’s breach of any of Employee’s obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, if Employer shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, Employee hereby waives the claim or defense that Employer has an adequate remedy at law, and Employee shall not raise in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that Employer has an adequate remedy at law.

12.Cooperation of Employee. Employee covenants and agrees to cooperate fully with the Released Parties concerning any business or legal matter about which Employee had knowledge during Employee’s employment with Employer or any Released Party. Employer will reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses associated with travel, meals, lodging, or other out-of-pocket expenses related to or associated with Employee’s cooperation with the Released Parties concerning any business or legal matter about which Employee had knowledge during Employee’s employment with Employer or any Released Party.

13.Report. During Employee’s employment, Employee understood that if Employee was aware of activity within Company that would violate federal and/or state law, that were discriminatory, or may have violated any policy or procedures, Employee had a duty to report such issues. Employee represents that Employee has no knowledge of any existing violations or suspected violations of any state or federal law or any Company policy. In addition, Employee represents that Employee has notified an officer of Company of any violation of Company policies and procedures in which Employee has any reason to suspect may lead to future violations of law. To the extent Company requests further information after Employee’s last day of employment related to this paragraph, Employee agrees to make himself reasonably available with respect to any follow-up inquiries deemed necessary
