Employment Agreement Dated as of November 20, 2022, between the Company and Robert A. Iger

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of November 20, 2022, by and between The Walt Disney Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Robert A. Iger (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive wish to enter into an agreement (this “Agreement”) to provide for Executive’s service to the Company as its Chief Executive Officer;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.Employment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment by the Company, for the period commencing as of November 20, 2022 (the “Commencement Date”), and ending on December 31, 2024 (or such earlier date as shall be determined pursuant to Paragraph 5). The period during which Executive is employed pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to as the “Employment Period.”

2.Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and in such other positions with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates consistent with Executive’s position as the Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall reasonably assign Executive from time to time. The Executive shall report to the Board. In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, the Board shall appoint the Executive as a member of the Board. During the Employment Period, the Company shall also nominate Executive for re-election as a member of the Board at the expiration of each term of office, and Executive shall serve as a member of the Board for each period for which he is so elected. During the Employment Period, Executive shall devote all Executive’s business time on a full-time and exclusive basis to the services required hereunder, and shall perform such services in a manner consonant with the duties of Executive’s position. Executive shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable policy of the Company (including, without limitation, “The Walt Disney Company and Associated Companies Standards of

Business Conduct” booklet and the Employee Policy Manual), as reasonably made available and as interpreted from time to time by the Company, provided that, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7(a), nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, and (ii) managing Executive’s personal investments and affairs, so long as the activities listed in subclauses (i)-(ii) do not materially interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the proper performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.

3.Compensation.

(a)Base Salary. Effective as of the Commencement Date, Executive shall receive an annual base salary of $1,000,000. The amount of annual base salary payable under this Paragraph 3(a) shall be reduced, however, to the extent Executive elects in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations and interpretations thereunder (“Section 409A”), to defer such salary under the terms of any deferred compensation or savings plan or arrangement maintained or established by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Executive’s annual base salary payable hereunder, without reduction for any amounts deferred as described above, is referred to herein as the “Base Salary.” The Company shall pay Executive the portion of Base Salary not deferred at the election of Executive in accordance with its generally applicable policies for senior executives (currently paid on a weekly basis), but not less frequently than in equal monthly installments

(b)Annual Incentive Bonus. Executive shall be given the opportunity to earn an annual discretionary incentive bonus in accordance with the annual bonus plan generally applicable to the Company’s executive officers, as the same may be in effect from time to time (the “Annual Plan”). Executive’s target annual incentive bonus opportunity under the Annual Plan during each full fiscal year during the term hereof shall be one hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect at the end of such fiscal year. The actual amount payable to Executive as an annual bonus under the Annual Plan shall be dependent upon the achievement of performance objectives established in accordance with the Annual Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company or the committee of the Board responsible for administering such Annual Plan (the “Compensation Committee”), which shall be substantially similar to the objectives established under the Annual Plan for other senior executive officers of the Company. The preceding sentence shall not limit any power or discretion of the Board or the

Compensation Committee in the administration of the Annual Plan. Accordingly, depending on performance, the actual amount payable as an annual bonus to Executive under the Annual Plan may be less than, greater than or equal to the target bonus specified above. Any bonus payable pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b) shall be paid at the same time as annual bonuses are payable to other officers of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Annual Plan, subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the date on which such bonuses are paid.

(c)Eligibility for Equity Awards. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the equity-based long-term incentive compensation plans, programs or arrangements generally made available to the executive officers of the Company; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining Executive’s rights under such plans, programs and arrangements determined based on Executive’s period of service, Executive shall receive credit for his prior service with the Company and its affiliates. The size of the awards made to Executive shall reflect Executive’s position with the Company and the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of Executive’s performance and competitive compensation practices. For each fiscal year of the Company ending during the term hereof, Executive shall receive an annual award with a target accounting award value of $25 million, with the grant date of the equity awards to be made in respect of fiscal year 2023 to be the Commencement Date. Sixty-percent (60%) of the value of each such annual award shall be in the form of performance based restricted stock units that will be eligible to vest upon achievement of performance criteria over a two-year performance period. The remaining forty-percent (40%) of such value shall be provided in the form of stock options If Executive remains employed through the Scheduled Expiration Date (as defined below), the stock options granted under this Paragraph 3(c) shall be fully and immediately vested and exercisable at such Scheduled Expiration Date. Except as expressly provided in the preceding portion of this Paragraph 3(c), nothing in this Paragraph 3(c) shall limit any power or discretion of the Board or the Committee in the administration of any such long-term incentive plan. The actual benefits conveyed to Executive in respect of any such awards may be less than, greater than or equal to the targeted award value, as such benefits will be dependent on a series of performance and other factors, such as the value of the Company’s common stock and satisfaction of any applicable vesting requirements and performance conditions.

4.Benefits, Perquisites and Expenses.

(a)Benefits. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be eligible to participate in (i) each welfare benefit plan sponsored or maintained from time to time by the Company and made available generally to its executive officers, including, without limitation, each such group life, hospitalization, medical, dental, health, accident or disability insurance, vacation or similar plan or program, whether now existing or established hereafter, and (ii) each pension, profit sharing, retirement, deferred compensation or savings plan sponsored or maintained by the Company for its executive officers, whether now existing or established hereafter, in accordance with the generally applicable provisions thereof.

(b)Perquisites. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) the same security services (including the use of a Company provided aircraft for personal use as part of an overall security program) as were provided to Executive for services as an officer of the Company in 2021 and (ii) such other perquisites as are generally provided to other executive officers of the Company in accordance with the then current policies and practices of the Company.

(c)Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred or paid by Executive during the Employment Period in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers and such other information as the Company may reasonably require and in accordance with the generally applicable policies and procedures of the Company for its executive officers as in effect from time to time.

(d)Indemnification. The Company shall provide Executive with an indemnification agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Indemnification Agreement”), which agreement shall be signed and delivered to Executive upon execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto.

5.Termination of Employment.

(a)Early Termination of the Employment Period. Notwithstanding Paragraph 1, the Employment Period shall end upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) Executive’s death, (ii) a Termination due to Disability, (iii) a Termination for Cause, (iv) the

Termination Date specified in connection with any exercise by the Company of its Termination Right or (v) a Termination for Good Reason. If the Employment Period terminates as of a date specified under this Paragraph 5, Executive shall resign from the Board and be deemed to have automatically resigned, effective immediately upon termination, from any and all positions Executive holds with the Company and any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, with no further action required by Executive or the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Unless and until a Termination due to Disability, during any period during which Executive is unable to perform the services required hereunder for medical or health-related reasons, Executive’s Base Salary shall be payable to Executive and for any such period of approved leave, Executive shall remain an employee of the Company for purposes of stock option and restricted stock unit awards, annual incentive bonus compensation pursuant to Paragraph 3(b) hereof, and equity awards pursuant to Paragraph 3(c) hereof.

(iii)In the event of a Termination for Good Reason or the exercise by the Company of its Termination Right, Executive shall be provided the Unconditional Entitlements. In addition, the Company shall provide Executive the Conditional Benefits, subject to (A) Executive’s execution of the Release and (B) Executive having not revoked such Release within the seven-day revocation period permitted following delivery of such Release, it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any failure by Executive to

execute the Release shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof. For Executive to become entitled to the Conditional Benefits, Executive must deliver the executed Release to the Company by no later than twenty-two (22) days following the Termination Date.

(c)Unconditional Entitlements. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Unconditional Entitlements” to which Executive may become entitled under Paragraph 5(b) are as follows:

(i)Earned Salary. Any Base Salary earned, but unpaid, including without limitation accrued but unused and unpaid vacation, for services rendered to the Company on or prior to the date on which the Employment Period ends pursuant to Paragraph 5(a) (but excluding any salary and interest accrued thereon payment of which has been deferred, which shall be paid as provided under the applicable plan) shall be paid within 30 days following the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder (or such date or earlier dates upon which payment of any part or whole of the foregoing is required under applicable law).

(ii)Prior Year Bonus. If Executive’s employment terminates after the end of a fiscal year but before the annual incentive compensation payable for services rendered in that prior fiscal year has been paid, the annual incentive compensation that would have been payable to Executive for such completed fiscal year in accordance with Paragraph 3(b) shall be paid within 30 days following the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder (or such date or earlier dates upon which payment of any part or whole of the foregoing is required under applicable law) or, if any part thereof constitutes a bonus which is subject to or conditioned upon any performance conditions, within thirty (30) days following the determination that such conditions have been met, provided that in all events the bonus shall be paid no later than 120 days following Executive’s termination of employment.

(iii)Benefits. All benefits payable to Executive under any employee benefit plans (including, without limitation any pension plans or 401(k) plans) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries applicable to Executive at the time of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and all amounts and benefits (other than the Conditional Benefits) which are vested or which Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under the terms of or in accordance with any plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement with, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, at or subsequent to the date of

Executive’s termination without regard to the performance by Executive of further services or the resolution of a contingency, shall be paid or provided in accordance with and subject to the terms and provisions of such plans, it being understood that all such benefits shall be determined on the basis of the actual date of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Executive shall not be entitled to any benefits under any severance plan or policy of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(iv)Indemnities. Any right which Executive may have to claim a defense and/or indemnity for liabilities to or claims asserted by third parties in connection with Executive’s activities as an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the Indemnification Agreement referenced in Paragraph 4(d) shall be unaffected by Executive’s termination of employment and shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

(v)Medical Coverage. Executive shall be entitled to such continuation of health care coverage as is required under, and in accordance with, applicable law or otherwise provided in accordance with the Company’s policies. Executive shall be notified in writing pursuant to this Paragraph 5(c)(v) of Executive’s rights to continue such coverage after the termination of Executive’s employment, provided that Executive timely complies with the conditions to continue such coverage that are applicable at law or pursuant to Company’s policies and procedures to a termination of employment at that time. Executive understands and acknowledges that Executive is responsible to make all payments required for any such continued health care coverage that Executive may choose to receive.

(vi)Business Expenses. Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement, in accordance with the Company’s policies regarding expense reimbursement as in effect from time to time, for all business expenses incurred by Executive prior to the termination of employment.

(vii)Stock Options/RSUs. Except to the extent additional rights are provided upon Executive’s qualifying to receive the Conditional Benefits, Executive’s rights with respect to any stock options and/or restricted stock units granted to Executive by the Company shall be governed by the terms and provisions of the plans (including plan

rules) and award agreements pursuant to which such stock options and restricted stock units were awarded, as in effect at the date Executive’s employment terminates.

(d)Conditional Benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Conditional Benefits” to which Executive may become entitled, provided Executive complies with the terms and conditions hereof (including the applicable agreements attached hereto), are as follows:

(i)Remaining Salary. The Company shall pay Executive a lump sum amount equal to the Severance Amount on the date that is six months and one day after the Termination Date (or upon Executive’s death, if earlier).

(ii)Stock Options. The Continuing Stock Options shall become exercisable in accordance with the applicable Original Stock Option Award Documents, on the same basis as such options would have become vested and exercisable if Executive had remained employed under this Agreement through the Scheduled Expiration Date. Once exercisable, all Continuing Stock Options shall remain exercisable until the Stock Option Termination Date. All of Executive’s Remaining Stock Options that were vested and exercisable at the Termination Date shall remain exercisable until the Stock Option Termination Date. Notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, any of Executive’s stock options which are not vested at the Termination Date, and which are not Continuing Stock Options, shall automatically terminate upon the Termination Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the Remaining Stock Options shall continue to be subject to the Original Stock Option Award Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Executive’s death prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date, all Continuing Stock Options shall vest on the date of Executive’s death and all Remaining Stock Options shall be exercisable for the period following Executive’s death determined under such Original Stock Option Award Documents on the same basis as though Executive was employed on the date of Executive’s death and regardless of when the Stock Option Termination Date would otherwise have occurred. However, any provisions in the Original Stock Option Award Documents relating to disability or change in control of the Company after the Termination Date shall not be operative with respect to any Remaining Stock Options.

(iii)RSUs. The Continuing Stock Units shall continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the Original RSU Award Documents, on the same basis as such stock

units would have become vested if Executive had remained employed under this Agreement through the Scheduled Expiration Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such Continuing Stock Units shall be subject to, and administered in accordance with, the Original RSU Award Documents. Any of Executive’s restricted stock unit awards that have not become vested on or before the Termination Date, and that are outstanding at the Termination Date, but which are not Continuing Stock Units, shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding any term or provision of the Original RSU Award Documents:

(A)any provisions in such Original RSU Award Documents relating to disability shall not be applicable to any such Continuing Stock Units after the Termination Date; and

(B)in the event of Executive’s death after the Termination Date but prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date, the terms and provisions of the Original RSU Award Documents shall be interpreted and applied in the same manner with respect to such Continuing Stock Units as if Executive were an active employee on the date of Executive’s death.

(iv)Pro-Rated Current Year Bonus. The Company shall pay Executive a pro rata annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, determined on the basis of an assumed full year target bonus determined pursuant to Paragraph 3(b) and the number of days in the applicable fiscal year occurring on or before the Termination Date. Such pro-rata current year bonus payable pursuant to the foregoing shall be paid no later than the later of (i) two and a half months after the end of Executive’s tax year in which the Termination Date occurs and (ii) two and a half months after the end of the Company’s tax year in which the Termination Date occurs.

(v)Additional Distribution Rules in Respect of Conditional Benefits. The following additional rules shall apply with respect to distribution of the payments and benefits, if any, to be provided to Executive under Paragraph 5(d)(i), (iii) and (iv):

(A)It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided under Paragraphs 5(d)(i), (iii) and (iv) shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A. Neither the Company nor Executive shall have the right to

accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A;

(B)Distribution in respect of any tranche of Continuing Stock Units to which Paragraph 5(d)(iii)(B) applies shall be made within 90 days following the later of the date that (i) the service conditions that had originally been specified for such tranche of Continuing Stock Units under the applicable Original RSU Award Documents would otherwise have been satisfied (had Executive continued to be employed) and (ii) the last performance measurement period applicable in respect of such tranche of Continuing Stock Units under the applicable Original RSU Award Documents would otherwise have expired;

(C)Each installment of the payments and benefits due under Paragraph 5(d)(i) and (iii) that would, absent this subsection, be paid within the six-month period following Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and as provided in Paragraph 5(g) hereof) from the Company shall not be paid until the date that is six months and one day after such separation from service (or, if earlier, Executive’s death), with any such installments that are required to be delayed being accumulated during the six-month period and paid in a lump sum on the date that is six months and one day following Executive’s separation from service; provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this sentence shall not apply to any installment of payments and benefits if and to the maximum extent that such installment is deemed to be paid under a separation pay plan that does not provide for a deferral of compensation by reason of the application of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (relating to separation pay upon an involuntary separation from service). (Any installments that qualify for the exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) must be paid no later than the last day of Executive’s second taxable year following the taxable year of Executive in which the separation from service occurs.) Any subsequent installments that would be payable more than six months following Executive’s separation from service shall be paid in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein.

Plan, the “Plans”), as such Plans may be amended and/or superseded from time to time, shall also constitute an event upon which Executive may effect a Termination for Good Reason in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination shall not be treated as a Termination for Good Reason (A) if Executive shall have consented in writing to the occurrence of the specific event giving rise to the claim of Termination for Good Reason (and such consent may reasonably be understood to generally relate to the time period in which such event occurred), or (B) unless Executive shall have delivered a written notice to the Company within three months of having actual knowledge of the occurrence of one of such events stating that Executive intends to terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason and specifying the factual basis for such termination, and such event, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within 30 days of the receipt of such notice.

“Termination Right” means the right of the Company, in its sole, absolute and unfettered discretion, to terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

As permitted under the terms of the applicable Plans, the Company and Executive agree that the definitions of Termination for Cause or Termination for Good Reason set forth in this Paragraph 5 shall apply in place of any similar definition or comparable concept applicable under either of the Plans (or any similar definition in any successor plan), except that, in connection with a “Triggering Event” as defined in the Plans, as such Plans may be amended from time to time, the terms of the applicable plan (and not the definitions of Termination for Cause or Termination for Good Reason set forth in this Paragraph 5) shall apply to determine Executive’s rights and entitlements in respect of the awards made under any such plan (and only in respect of such awards).

(g)Section 409A. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, any payment required to be made to Executive hereunder upon Executive’s termination of employment (including any payment pursuant to this Paragraph 5) shall be made promptly after the six month anniversary of Executive’s date of termination to the extent necessary to avoid imposition on Executive of any tax penalty imposed under

Section 409A of the Code. Solely for purposes of determining the time and form of payments due Executive under this Agreement (including any payments due under Paragraph 3(a)) or otherwise in connection with Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, Executive shall not be deemed to have incurred a termination of employment unless and until Executive shall incur a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree, as permitted in accordance with the final regulations thereunder, a “separation from service” shall occur when Executive and the Company reasonably anticipate that Executive’s level of bona fide services for the Company (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 40 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed by Executive for the Company over the immediately preceding 36 months. The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with this subparagraph and in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). To the extent that the Company and Executive determine that any provision of this Agreement could reasonably be expected to result in Executive’s being subject to the payment of interest or additional tax under Section 409A, the Company and Executive agree, to the extent reasonably possible as determined in good faith, to amend this Agreement, retroactively, if necessary, in order to avoid the imposition of any such interest or additional tax under Section 409A. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirements that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to set off or liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Each payment of compensation under the Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of Section 409A. Executive’s right to any deferred compensation, as defined under Section 409A, shall not be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment by creditors, or borrowing to the extent necessary to avoid tax, penalties, and/or interest under Section 409A.

(h)Existing Equity Awards. The parties acknowledge and agree that to the extent that this Paragraph 5 shall not alter in any way the right of Executive with respect to any outstanding equity award granted to executive prior to the Commencement .Date in respect of his employment with the Company prior to such Commencement Date.

6.Exclusive Remedy. Executive shall be under no obligation to mitigate damages or seek other employment or other engagement of Executive’s services after this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 5 in order to obtain the benefits provided for under Paragraph 5(d) of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments and rights provided under Paragraph 5 are fair and reasonable, and are Executive’s sole and exclusive remedy, in lieu of all other remedies at law or in equity, for termination of Executive’s employment by the Company upon exercise of its Termination Right pursuant to this Agreement or upon a Termination for Good Reason. The failure of Executive to execute and timely deliver the Release for any reason (i) shall limit Executive’s rights in connection with the exercise by the Company of its Termination Right solely to the right to receive the Unconditional Entitlements, (ii) shall not effect a modification of any of Executive’s commitments set forth in this Agreement (none of which are contingent upon execution of the Release by Executive) and (iii) shall not preserve or revive any rights waived by Executive hereunder. Subject to Executive’s execution and delivery of the Release without revocation thereof, (i) the Company agrees to enter into the Release and (ii) there shall be no offset available to the Company against any amounts due, paid or payable to Executive in respect of the Conditional Benefits and Unconditional Entitlements under Paragraph 5 with respect to any compensation, remuneration or payment attributable to any services that Executive may provide to any third party subsequent to termination of employment hereunder, whether as an employee or otherwise.

7.Non-competition and Confidentiality.

(a)Non-competition. During the Employment Period, Executive shall not engage in any business, or become associated with any entity, whether as a principal, partner, employee, consultant, shareholder or otherwise (other than as a holder of not in excess of 1% of the outstanding voting shares of any publicly traded company) that is actively engaged in any business, which is in competition, in any geographic area, with a business conducted by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company at the time of the alleged competition.

(b)Confidentiality. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive executed the standard form of agreement, entitled “The Walt Disney Company and Affiliated Companies Confidentiality Agreement,” during his prior employment with the Company and its affiliated companies in the form then utilized by the Company (the “Original TWDC Confidentiality Agreement”).

In consideration for my employment and for the compensation to be paid to me by The Walt Disney Company or a division, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, or any successor of the foregoing (hereinafter termed the "Company"), and in addition to any other obligation, at all times during the term of my employment and thereafter, I do here agree:

1.To hold in strictest confidence, and not disclose (other than as provided below) to any person, firm, or corporation without express authorization of a corporate officer of the Company, any confidential information or trade secret relating to the products, sales, or business of the Company and not to use any such confidential information or trade secret for my own benefit during the term of my employment or thereafter. This non-disclosure obligation does not apply to a disclosure made (i) in confidence to an attorney or, directly or indirectly, to a federal, state or local government official, as long as the disclosure is made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, as long as the filing is made under seal.

2.To fully and promptly disclose to the Company and to hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, any and all intellectual property, discoveries, or trade secrets which I may solely or jointly conceive, design, develop, create or suggest or cause to be conceived, designed, developed or created during the period of time I am in the employ of the Company, which relate to or are connected with my employment or the business of the Company, whether or not conceived or created during my regular working hours. For purposes of this agreement, the term intellectual property shall include, without limitation, any ideas, concepts, literary material, designs, drawings, illustrations and photographs.

4.That I will and do hereby assign to the Company all my right, title, and interest in and to the intellectual property, discoveries and trade secrets referred to in Paragraph 2 above; provided, however, that no provision in this agreement is intended to require assignment of any of my rights in any intellectual property or discovery if (i) no equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secret or confidential information of the Company was used: and (ii) the discovery was made or the intellectual property was developed entirely on my own time; and (iii) such discovery or intellectual property neither relates to any business of the Company or the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development nor results from any work performed by me for the Company.

5.I will execute any documents necessary to evidence the Company's proprietary interest in any discovery, intellectual property or trade secret referred to in Paragraph 2 above. In the event the Company is unable, for any reason whatsoever, to secure my signature to any lawful and necessary document required to apply for protection of, or enforce any action with respect to, copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company, and its duly authorized officers and agents, as my agent and attorney-in-fact, whose power is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf and stead, to execute such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to protect the Company's interest in any copyright, trademark or other proprietary right with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

6.That at the time of leaving the employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company, and will not keep in my possession nor deliver to anyone else, any and all drawings, notes, notebooks, memoranda, treatments, scripts, documents or any other material connected with my employment by the Company or with the business of the Company.

8.This agreement shall not embrace or include any copyrights or trademarks or other proprietary rights owned or controlled either jointly or separately by me prior to

the time of my employment by the Company. I am listing on a separate attached sheet each copyright, trademark or other proprietary right which I claim to be exempt from this agreement.

WHEREAS, Robert A. Iger (hereinafter referred to as "Executive") and The Walt Disney Company (hereinafter referred to as the “Company") are parties to an Employment Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2022 (the “Employment Agreement”), which provided for Executive’s employment with the Company on the terms and conditions specified therein; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to paragraph 6 of the Employment Agreement, Executive and the Company have agreed to execute mutual releases of the type and nature set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration received in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, it is agreed as follows:

1.(a) Upon the later of (i) the execution hereof by the Company and Executive, (ii) the passage of seven days following execution hereof by Executive without Executive's having exercised the revocation rights referred to in paragraph 10 hereof and (iii) the time specified in the Employment Agreement for payment of a particular item of compensation, the Company shall (x) provide Executive the amounts and benefits described in Paragraph 5 of the Employment Agreement and (y) make full payment for vacation and floating holidays accrued but unused as of the date hereof (to the extent, if any, not already paid in accordance with applicable law), less amounts required to be withheld by law or authorized by Executive to be withheld (it being understood that from and after the date hereof no further rights to vacation or floating holidays or compensation therefor shall accrue or be payable to Executive). Such payment shall be made by check payable to Executive.

(b)The covenants and commitments of the Company referred to herein (including, specifically, but without limitation, any and all benefits conferred upon Executive pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Employment Agreement) shall be in lieu of and in full and final discharge of any and all obligations to Executive for compensation,

severance payments, or any other expectations of payment, remuneration, continued coverage of any nature or benefit on the part of Executive arising out of or in connection with Executive's employment with the Company, or under any agreement, arrangement, commitment, plan, program, practice or policy of the Company, or otherwise, other than as expressly provided in the Employment Agreement.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or provision hereof, Executive shall be entitled to such rights as are vested in Executive as of the Termination Date, under and subject to the terms of (i) the Employment Agreement, (ii) any applicable retirement plan(s) to which Executive may be subject, (iii) any applicable stock option plan or other incentive compensation plan of the Company to which Executive may be subject, (iv) any right which Executive now has or may hereafter have to claim a defense and/or indemnity for liabilities to third parties in connection with Executive’s activities as an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any applicable statute, under any insurance policy, pursuant to the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or established policies of the Company or any subsidiary thereof or pursuant to written agreement (including, without limitation, the Indemnification Agreement) expressly providing for such indemnity between Executive and the Company or any subsidiary thereof, and (v) any other applicable employee welfare benefit plans to which Executive may be subject and (vi) reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses received by Executive in accordance with Company’s practices and policies regarding reimbursement of business expenses. Further, Executive shall be entitled to such continuation of health care coverage as is required under, and subject to, applicable law, of which Executive shall be notified in writing after the Termination Date, provided Executive timely exercises Executive's rights in accordance therewith. Executive understands and acknowledges that all payments for any such continued health care coverage Executive may elect will be paid by Executive, except to the extent the Employment Agreement provides that such payments shall be made by the Company.

2.Executive confirms that, on or prior to seven (7) days from the date hereof, Executive shall turn over to the Company all files, memoranda, records, credit cards and other documents and physical or personal property that Executive received from the Company or that Executive generated in connection with Executive’s employment by the Company or that are the property of the Company provided that Executive may retain notes, files, calendars, contact information and correspondence of a personal nature

(whether in hard copy or electronic form), provided, in each case, that no confidential Company information or information intended primarily for internal Company use is contained therein).

3.It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under law. Should there be any conflict between any provision hereof and any present or future law, such law will prevail, but the provisions affected thereby will be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring them within the requirements of law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and be fully valid and enforceable.

4.Executive represents and agrees (a) that Executive has to the extent Executive desires discussed all aspects of this Agreement with Executive’s attorney, (b) that Executive has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement, and (c) that Executive is voluntarily entering into this Agreement.

5.Excluding enforcement of the covenants, promises and/or rights reserved herein and/or in the Employment Agreement or Indemnification Agreement, Executive hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company and each of the Company's direct or indirect owners, parent companies, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, attorneys, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, The Walt Disney Company and agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives and attorneys of such companies, divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates) and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them (collectively "Releasees"), or any of them, from any and all charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs actually incurred) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, including, but not limited to, rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, any covenant of good faith and fair dealing, express or implied, or any tort or any legal restrictions on the Company's right to terminate employees, or any Federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation or ordinance, including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Federal Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, as amended, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, all as

amended, that Executive now has, or has ever had, or ever will have, against each or any of the Releasees, by reason of any and all acts, omissions, events, circumstances or facts existing or occurring up through the date of Executive's execution hereof that directly or indirectly arise out of, relate to, or are connected in any manner whatsoever with, Executive’s services to, or employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (any of the foregoing being an “Executive Claim” or, collectively, the “Executive Claims”). This release does not constitute a release of any Executive Claims that cannot be released as a matter of law.

6.Except as expressly reserved herein, Executive expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits afforded by California Civil Code Section 1542 and does so understanding and acknowledging the significance of such specific waiver of Section 1542. Section 1542 states as follows:

"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Releasees, Executive expressly acknowledges that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Executive Claims that Executive does not know or suspect to exist in Executive's favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of any such Executive Claim or Executive Claims.

7.Excluding enforcement of the covenants, promises and/or rights reserved herein or in the Employment Agreement or Indemnification Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in the proviso at the end of this sentence, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges Executive, and Executive’s heirs, assigns and successors in interest (“Executive Releasees”), or any of them, from any and all charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorney’s fees and costs actually incurred), of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, including, but not limited to,

rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, any covenant of good faith and fair dealing, express or implied, or any tort, or any federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation or ordinance, that the Company now has, or has ever had, or ever will have, against Executive and/or the Executive Releasees, by reason of any and all acts, omissions, events, circumstances or facts existing or occurring up through the date of the Company’s execution hereof, that directly or indirectly arise out of, relate to, or are connected in any manner whatsoever with, Executive’s services to, or employment by the Company (hereinafter referred to as a “Claim” or collectively, the “Claims”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, any Claim or Claims rising out of, or resulting from, in part or whole, (i) any illegal or fraudulent act(s) or illegal or fraudulent omission(s) to act of Executive, (ii) any action(s) or omission(s) to act which would constitute self-dealing or a breach of Executive’s confidentiality obligations to the Company or any affiliate thereof, or a breach of The Walt Disney Company and Affiliated Companies Confidentiality Agreement executed by Executive, or (iii) the policy of the Board of Directors of the Company, as the same may be in effect from time to time, regarding the ability of the Company to recoup bonus or incentive payments as a result of Company’s being required to restate its financial results due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the securities laws, are hereby expressly excluded in their entirety from the foregoing release, acquittal and discharge and are unaffected thereby (any Claim or Claims not so excluded pursuant to this proviso being hereinafter referred to as a the “Company Claim” or, collectively, as the “Company Claims”). This release does not constitute a release of any Company Claims that cannot be released as a matter of law.

8.Except as expressly reserved herein, the Company expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits afforded by California Civil Code Section 1542 and does so understanding and acknowledging the significance of such specific waiver of Section 1542. Section 1542 states as follows:

"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release, acquittal and discharge of the Executive Releasees with respect to the Company Claims only, the Company expressly acknowledges that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all the Company Claims that the Company does not know or suspect to exist in the Company’s favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of any such Company Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Release to the contrary, if at any time (whether during or after the Employment Period) the Company is required to restate its financial results due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the securities laws, nothing in this Release shall be construed to limit the rights of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company to seek or obtain recovery from Executive of any incentive compensation (including profits realized from the sale of Company securities) previously paid, or the cancellation of any outstanding awards, in accordance with the terms of Company’s policy, as in effect from time to time, regarding the ability of the Company to recoup any bonus or incentive payments under such circumstances.

9.Executive is advised to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement. Executive understands that Executive has been given a period of 21 days to review and consider this Agreement before signing it pursuant to the Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, as amended. Executive further understands that Executive may use as much of this 21‑day period as Executive wishes prior to signing.

10.Executive acknowledges and represents that Executive understands that Executive may revoke the waiver of Executive’s rights under the Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, as amended, effectuated in this Agreement within 7 days of signing this Agreement. Revocation can be made by delivering a written notice of revocation to the Senior Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, The Walt Disney Company, 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, California 91521. For this revocation to be effective, written notice must be received by the General Counsel, no later than the close of business on the seventh day after Executive signs this Agreement. If Executive revokes the waiver of Executive’s rights under the Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, as amended, the Company shall have no obligations to Executive under this Agreement or the Employment Agreement.

11.Executive and the Company respectively represent and acknowledge that in executing this Agreement neither of them is relying upon, and has not relied upon, any representation or statement not set forth herein made by any of the agents, representatives or attorneys of the Releasees or of the Executive Releasees with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Agreement or otherwise.

12.This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by any of the Releasees or Executive Releasees, respectively, that any of the Releasees or Executive Releasees has acted wrongfully or that the Company or Executive has any rights whatsoever against any of the Releasees or Executive Releasees except as specifically set forth herein, and each of the Releasees and Executive Releasees specifically disclaims any liability to any party for any wrongful acts.

13.This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California. This Agreement is binding on the successors and assigns of, and sets forth the entire agreement between, the parties hereto; fully supersedes any and all

prior agreements or understandings between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof; and may not be changed except by explicit written agreement to that effect subscribed by the parties hereto.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE INCLUDES A RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS.
