Mr. Talman B. Pizzey

    
    RE:    Separation Agreement, General Release and Board Release
Dear Tal:
The purpose of this separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) is to memorialize the terms and conditions of the termination of your employment with TIC Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and affiliates (together with the Company, the “Company Group”), as well as that certain Employment Agreement, dated September 19, 2024, as amended, by and among you and the Company (the “Employment Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Employment Agreement. All references herein to the “Company” shall be deemed to include and refer to any Canadian subsidiary that employed you.
To ensure that the termination of your employment with the Company occurs on mutually acceptable terms, this Separation Agreement, along with the General Release of Claims on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “General Release”) and Board General Release of Claims on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Board Release”), will summarize the terms and conditions surrounding your resignation including, without limitation, the compensation and benefits that will be provided to you.
Termination Date
The effective date of your resignation, being the termination of your employment, and the Employment Agreement, is March 31, 2026 (“Termination Date”).
Resignation as Officer of the Company
You acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the Termination Date, you will be deemed to have resigned from all positions then held as an officer throughout the Company Group.
Transitional Assistance - Consulting Services
On and after the Termination Date through December 31, 2026, in consideration for the continuation of the Eligible 2025 PSUs (as defined below), you agree that you will provide such services and/or make yourself available as may be necessary to assist the Company with respect to all transition matters and perform such duties as may reasonably be requested of you by the Company including, without limitation, onboarding and transitioning the replacement hire (collectively, the “Services”).

Accrued Obligations
Whether or not you choose to sign this Separation Agreement, the General Release and the Board Release, the Company will pay to you any (a) accrued but unpaid Base Salary you have earned through the Termination Date, payable as and when such accrued Base Salary would otherwise be payable, (b) accrued but unused paid time off (PTO) as determined in accordance with Company Group policies, payable within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, and (c) any vested accrued but unpaid benefits provided under the Company’s employee benefit plans, subject to and in accordance with the terms of those plans, in each case, less applicable withholding and employment taxes.
For purposes of this Separation Agreement, the General Release and the Board Release, the amounts described above in this section shall be referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”.
As you are voluntarily resigning, you acknowledge you are not entitled to any notice of termination, pay in lieu of notice, severance or other termination-related payment at common law or under any applicable legislation, including but not limited the Employment Standards Code, RSA 2000, cE-9, by the Company or Company Group for employment under the Employment Agreement or other employment arrangements.

Group Benefits
Following the Termination Date, your extended health and dental benefits will transition to the retirement benefit class and will be further terminated on December 31, 2026. The Company Group's life insurance and long-term disability policies may give you the right to convert to individual policies within a limited time period from your last day of employment. You will be solely responsible for paying any premiums on individual insurance coverage you elect to obtain. We strongly recommend that you take steps as you deem necessary to obtain private insurance coverage to replace your terminated group coverage as soon as possible. Please contact our insurer directly to obtain further details with respect to these options. The Company Group will not take any steps on your behalf to convert group insurance coverage to personal insurance coverage.

This includes, without limitation, a release of any and all Claims for unpaid wages, holiday pay, overtime, bonuses or other compensation, breach of contract, wrongful discharge, disability benefits, life, health and medical insurance, sick leave, or any other fringe benefit, employment discrimination, unlawful harassment, retaliation, emotional distress, violations of public policy, defamation, fraudulent misrepresentation or inducements and severance pay and any other federal, state, provincial or local laws, statutes, rules, ordinances or regulations, whether equal employment laws, statutes, rules or regulations or otherwise.

7.Executive acknowledges and reaffirms Executive’s continuing obligations to the Company, including those under Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 of the Employment Agreement.
8.Executive agrees not to make negative or derogatory comments or comments that could reasonably be construed as derogatory about the Company or any of its employees or representatives to any third parties or through social media, including but not limited to Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. This restriction is intended to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, including its relationships with employees, customers, and clients.
9.Executive agrees that Executive will not disclose the terms of this General Release and settlement to any person other than to Executive’s solicitors, financial advisors and persons with lawful authority to enquire about matters contained in this General Release, provided that such disclosure shall be made only on condition that they maintain the terms of this General Release and settlement confidential.
