If she becomes ineligible for COBRA coverage during the severance period, she will no longer participate in the group benefits plan. If she commences new employment or self-employment during the severance period, the severance payments that remain will be reduced by 50.0% Messrs. Costantini and Hartz do not have employment agreements that specify their entitlements if terminated without cause and, therefore, if they are terminated without cause, they may be eligible for severance under the terms and conditions of the John Hancock Officer Severance Pay Plan. The John Hancock Severance Pay Plan provides severance pay (inclusive of annual base salary and annual incentive bonus at target) and benefits continuation to eligible officers at the VP+ level based upon length of service, subject to a 52-week minimum and 78-week maximum severance period. To be eligible for severance under the John Hancock Officer Severance Pay Plan, the officer must (i) have a separation from service due to a reduction in staff, the elimination of the officer’s position, a reorganization or restructuring, a substantial decrease in the duties or responsibilities of the officer’s position, or John Hancock determined that the officer’s qualifications no longer meet the business needs of the Company, (ii) sign a written agreement in a form prescribed by John Hancock, including a release of claims and certain post-employment restrictions, and (iii) satisfy all other terms and conditions as set forth in the John Hancock Officer Severance Pay Plan. The figures in the chart above showing the anticipated severance for Mr. Hartz and Mr. Costantini upon a termination without cause are calculated as of December 31, 2022 and assume, for purposes of this disclosure, that such terminations without cause satisfied all other criteria for eligibility under the John Hancock Officer Severance Pay Plan.

If there is a change in control and Mr. Gori’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason within a protection period that starts 90 days before a change in control and ends 24 months after the change in control, he is entitled to: • two times his annual salary and two times his average annual incentive awarded in the prior three years • full vesting and payment of outstanding awards, including those granted within the past year, while performance share units remain subject to applicable performance conditions • continuation of his group benefits for up to two years (excluding life and disability insurance) 100 Manulife Financial Corporation
