 Re: Confirmatory Employment Letter 
 Dear Amit:

 This confirmatory employment letter agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between Amit Walia
(“you”) and Informatica Inc. (the “Company” or “we”), effective as of the date of this Agreement as first set forth above (the “Effective Date”), to confirm the terms and conditions
of your employment with the Company as of the Effective Date. 
 1. Title; Position; Location. You will continue to serve as the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer. You also will continue to report to the Company’s Board of Directors and will perform the duties and responsibilities customary for such position and such other related duties as are reasonably assigned
by the Board of Directors. You will perform your duties from the Company’s corporate offices located in Redwood City, California (with the exception of the period during which any
shelter-in-place order, quarantine order, or similar work-from-home requirement affecting your ability to work at the Company’s corporate offices remains in
effect), subject to customary travel as reasonably required by the Company and necessary to perform your job duties. 
 2. Base
Salary. Effective as of October 1, 2021, your annual base salary was increased to $700,000. Your base salary will be payable, less any applicable withholdings, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. Your base salary
will be subject to review and adjustment from time to time by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) or its Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) as applicable, in its sole discretion. 

3. Annual Bonus. For the Company’s 2021 fiscal year, you will be eligible for a target annual cash bonus opportunity equal to one
hundred thirty percent (130%) of your annual base salary. Any annual bonus will be subject to performance and other criteria established by the Board or the Committee, as applicable, in its sole discretion, through the Corporate Bonus Plan and
otherwise, and subject to your continued employment through the date that the bonus is paid to you. Your annual bonus opportunity and the applicable terms and conditions may be adjusted from time to time by our Board or the Committee, as applicable,
in its sole discretion, and no amount of any annual bonus is guaranteed. In addition, the Board or the Committee, as applicable and in its sole discretion, may approve that the Company grant additional discretionary bonus amounts to you. 

4. Equity Awards. You will be eligible to receive awards of stock options or other equity awards pursuant to such plans or arrangements
as the Company may have in effect from time to time. The Board or Committee, as applicable, will determine in its sole discretion whether you will be granted any such equity awards and the terms of any such award in accordance with the terms of any
applicable plan or arrangement that may be in effect from time to time. 
 5. Employee Benefits. You will continue to be eligible to
participate in the benefit plans and programs established by the Company for its employees from time to time, subject to their applicable terms and conditions, including without limitation any eligibility requirements. The Company will reimburse you
for reasonable travel or other expenses incurred by you in the furtherance of or in connection with the performance of your duties under this Agreement, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as may be in effect
from time to time. The Company reserves the right to modify, amend, suspend or terminate the benefit plans, programs, and arrangements it offers to its employees at any time.

 6. Severance. The Board has approved your eligibility to enter into the Change in
Control and Severance Agreement attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “CIC and Severance Agreement”). The CIC and Severance Agreement provides for severance payments and benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of your
employment, subject to the terms and conditions of the CIC and Severance Agreement. These protections supersede all other severance payments and benefits to which you otherwise may be entitled, or may become entitled in the future, under any plan,
program or policy that the Company may have in effect from time to time. For purposes of clarification, any severance benefits or arrangements that may have applied to you before the effective date of the CIC and Severance Agreement no longer will
apply and you will have no rights or entitlements under any such plans, programs, agreements or arrangements. 
 7. Confidentiality
Agreement. As an employee of the Company, you will continue to have access to certain confidential information of the Company and, during the course of your employment, you may develop certain information or inventions that will be the property
of the Company. To protect the interests of the Company, your acceptance of this Agreement confirms that the terms of the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement between you and the Company dated October 15, 2013, as may be
amended or amended and restated from time to time (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) still apply. 
 8. At-Will Employment. This Agreement does not imply any right to your continued employment for any period with the Company or any parent, subsidiary, or other affiliate of the Company. Your employment with the
Company is for no specified period and will continue to constitute at-will employment. As a result, you are free to resign at any time, for any reason or for no reason. Similarly, the Company is free to
conclude its employment relationship with you at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. We request that, in the event of resignation, you give the Company at least two weeks’ notice. 

9. Taxes. The Company (or its affiliate, as applicable) will have the right and authority to deduct from any payments or benefits under
this Agreement all applicable federal, state, and local taxes or other required withholdings and payroll deductions (“Withholdings”). Prior to the payment of any amounts or provision of any benefits under this Agreement, the Company
(and its affiliate, as applicable) is permitted to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable Withholdings with respect to such payments and benefits. The payments and benefits under
this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or otherwise to comply with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations and other formal guidance promulgated thereunder
(“Section 409A”) so that none of the payments and benefits under this Agreement will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities and ambiguous terms herein will be
interpreted to be exempt or to so comply. Any taxable reimbursements payable to you under this Agreement will be paid, less applicable withholdings, only with respect to expenses incurred while you are employed with the Company, no later than the
last day of your taxable year immediately following your taxable year in which the expense was incurred by you. No such amounts reimbursable to you in one taxable year of yours will affect the amounts reimbursable to you in another taxable year of
yours. Notwithstanding any contrary Agreement provision, the Company reserves the right to amend the Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without your consent or the consent of any other person or entity, to
comply with Section 409A or to avoid income recognition under Section 409A or to otherwise avoid the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A prior to the actual payment or provision of any payments or benefits under this
Agreement. In no event will you have any discretion to choose your taxable year in which any payments or benefits are provided under this Agreement. In no event will the Company, or any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company have any
responsibility, liability or obligation to reimburse or indemnify you or hold you harmless for any taxes imposed, or other costs incurred, as a result of Section 409A. 

10. Additional Employment Provisions. During the term of your employment with the Company, you agree to perform your duties faithfully
and to the best of your abilities and will devote your full business efforts and time to rendering services to the Company hereunder. Moreover, you agree that, during the term of your employment with the Company, you will not engage in any other
employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the term of your employment, nor will you engage in any other activities that conflict
with your obligations to the Company. Subject to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct, with which you agree to fully comply, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit you from (a) making and managing passive investments, or
(b) participating in professional and charitable organizations in an unpaid capacity, in a manner, and to an extent, that will not interfere with your duties or obligations to the Company, including under the Confidentiality Agreement. You
agree not to bring any third party confidential

information to the Company, including that of any of your former employers, and that in performing your duties for the Company you will not in any way utilize any such information. You agree that
in the rendering of all services to the Company and in all aspects of employment with the Company, you will comply in all material respects with all lawful directives, policies, rules, standards and regulations from time to time established by the
Company. 
 11. Protected Activity Not Prohibited. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Agreement or the Confidentiality
Agreement, nothing in this Agreement, or the Confidentiality Agreement will prohibit or impede you from engaging in any Protected Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Activity” will mean communicating, cooperating or
filing a complaint with any U.S. federal, state or local governmental or law enforcement branch, agency or entity, including, but not limited to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board (collectively, a “Governmental Entity”) with respect to possible violations of any U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation, or otherwise making
disclosures to any Governmental Entity, in each case, that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any such law or regulation; provided that, in each case, such communications and disclosures are consistent with applicable
law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company confidential information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement or
any other agreement between you and the Company or any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company relating to the protection of confidential information) in a manner not protected by applicable law (each, a “Confidential
Information Agreement”) to any parties other than the Governmental Entities. You further understand that Protected Activity does not include disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged communications or attorney work product. Any
language in the Confidentiality Agreement or any Confidential Information Agreement that conflicts with, or is contrary to, this paragraph is superseded by this Agreement. You understand and acknowledge that pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act
of 2016 (a) an individual will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, state, or local government official or to an
attorney 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, if such filing is made under seal and (b) an individual who files
a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document
containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. 
 12. Miscellaneous.
This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the CIC and Severance Agreement, and the equity awards granted to you under the Amended and Restated Ithacalux Topco S.C.A. Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements
thereunder, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the material terms and conditions of your employment, and they supersede and replace all prior negotiations, representations or agreements between you and the Company.
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California but without regard to the conflicts of law provision. This Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than
yourself) and you.
