“Agreement”) is entered into as of October 12, 2022 (“Effective Date”) by and among Kevin B. Kramer (“Executive”) and ATI Inc. (together with its
affiliates, the “Company”). 
 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company have agreed that Executive will retire from his position with the Company as Senior Vice President, Chief
Commercial and Marketing Officer; 
 WHEREAS, certain benefits and compensation programs of the Company provide for retirement for employees
who are at least 55 years of age and have at least five years of service with the Company, provided that such retirement requires the consent of the Company; 

WHEREAS, the parties currently contemplate that Executive will retire as of January 31, 2024 (“Retirement Date”)
and Executive has agreed to assist, from the Effective Date to the Retirement Date, in the transition of his role and responsibilities and such other matters as may from time to time be assigned to him by the Company’s Board Chair, President
and Chief Executive Officer; 
 WHEREAS, subject to Executive’s agreement to assist the Company in such matters, when and as requested
prior to the Retirement Date, and his execution and delivery as of the Retirement Date of the Release of Claims attached as Appendix A hereto, the Company has agreed to provide Executive with (a) its consent to enable Executive’s
retirement as of the Retirement Date and to ensure that Executive is treated as having retired for purposes of such compensation and benefit programs, and (b) certain additional compensation as provided in this Agreement; and 

WHEREAS, in consideration therefor, Executive has agreed to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including its provisions pertaining to
confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement and including the general release of claims contained
herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
hereby is acknowledged, Executive and the Company hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

RETIREMENT AND CONSENT; COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS 

1.1 Title; Transition Assistance. Executive hereby agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, he will
cooperate with and assist the Company in the transition of his current role and responsibilities, as and when requested by the Company. Executive hereby acknowledges that, effective January 1, 2023, his title will be changed to Senior Advisor
to the Chief Executive Officer. In his new role, Executive will continue to report to Robert S. Wetherbee but will no longer serve on the Company’s Executive Council. 

1.2 Company Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Executive’s compliance with
the same and to Executive’s continued employment by the Company through the Retirement Date: 











 (a) Company Consent. Subject to Executive’s execution and
delivery as of the Retirement Date of the Release of Claims attached as Appendix A hereto (the “Release”), the Company hereby agrees to provide Executive with its consent to Executive’s retirement, as of the
Retirement Date, for purposes of the Company’s 2020 Incentive Plan, 2022 Incentive Plan, any equity awards made to Executive thereunder, the Company’s Defined Contribution Restoration Plan, and any other benefit plans or programs
maintained by the Company in which Executive participates that may require consent of the Company as a prerequisite to retirement. Executive shall be deemed to have been separated from employment with the Company for all purposes no later than the
Retirement Date. Executive acknowledges and understands that Company has no obligation to consent to his retirement, that the Company would not provide said consent but for Executive’s entering this Agreement and providing the Release and his
agreement to cooperate with the Company in the transition of his role and responsibilities, and that the Company’s consent to Executive’s retirement provides new and adequate consideration for his agreement to the provisions of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the restrictive covenants under Article II and the general release of claims under Article III. 

(b) Compensation. (i) During the term of this Agreement, Executive will continue to receive his base salary at its
current annual rate of $510,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll policies and practices as may be in effect from time to time, provided that Executive will not be eligible for any increase, or subject to any
decrease, in base salary during the term of this Agreement; and (ii) Executive will be entitled to receive any award under the Company’s 2022 or 2023 Annual Performance Plan (“APP”) that would otherwise be payable
to Executive under the terms and conditions thereof and at his current target award equal to 80% of his base salary (which target award level will not be eligible to any increase, or subject to any decrease, during the term of this Agreement),
payable in accordance with the terms thereof and the Company’s usual practices. 
 (c) Continuation of Coverage Under the
Company’s Medical Plan. Provided that Executive has elected and he and/or any of his current dependents remains eligible for continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985
(“COBRA”), the Company will make COBRA continuation payments on his or their behalf as appropriate from the Retirement Date until the earlier of (i) the Executive’s
65th birthday or (ii) such time as Executive otherwise becomes Medicare-eligible. 

(d) Additional Payment. The Company will pay to Executive, within 30 days following the Retirement Date (or such date as may be
required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or related Treasury regulations), an additional cash payment in an amount calculated such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of any federal,
state and local income and employment taxes, is equal to eight percent (8%) of the amount payable to Executive under the terms of the Company’s 2023 APP based on the Company’s actual performance for the year ended December 31, 2023
relative to the performance metrics specified under the 2023 APP, and with regard to any individual performance component of the 2023 APP, Executive’s actual performance relative to any goals or target specified therefor, as certified by the
Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or such other committee to which the Board has delegated responsibility therefor as of the Retirement Date. 

1.3 Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement is intended in any way to alter the terms and
conditions of any long-term equity award outstanding as of the Effective Date, which awards have or shall vest and be paid, if at all, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the award agreements governing such awards. For the
avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the Executive’s retirement from the Company as of the Retirement Date will constitute his separation of service from the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h) and for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

by the provisions of this this Section 2.2.

an entity that Executive becomes employed by or otherwise affiliated with or renders services to) that offers, or is actively planning to offer, Competitive Services within a “Restricted Territory” defined as any metropolitan
statistical area (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) or any other country or territory where the Company did business during Executive’s employment or does or actively plans to do business at the time of the subject competitive activity,

(ii) Advise or consult with a Competitor concerning Competitive Services in the Restricted Territory; 

(iii) Be employed by or provide services to or for, whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or in any other working

nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict members of the Company’s Executive Counsel from performing the duties of their respective roles with Company or from disclosing any information required by law or legal process. A disparaging
statement is any communication, oral or written, including electronic postings on social media, which would cause or tend to cause the recipient of the communication to question the business condition, integrity, legal compliance, competence,

of his duties in his ongoing role with the Company.

the Company any information that the Company may request for possible use in the conduct of its business or in litigation, arbitration, investigations (whether internal or external) or other legal proceeding, and testifying on behalf of the Company
at the Company’s request. The Company agrees to reimburse Executive for reasonable personal expenses incurred by Executive pursuant to this Section 2.4. Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude Executive from complying with legal

(c) Executive understands that by signing this Agreement, he waives and releases any unknown or undiscovered claims against any Releasees
based on events that have transpired up to and including the Effective Date. Executive acknowledges that facts may be discovered in the future that are different from those Executive agrees to be true in entering into this Agreement. Notwithstanding
that information may arise or facts may be discovered in the future, it is understood and agreed that Executive assumes such risks and the release of all claims contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in all respects,

 (a) a claim challenging the validity of this Agreement, including challenges made pursuant to
the ADEA or Older Worker Benefits Protection Act; 

  
 6 












 (b) a claim or pursue a remedy for any rights or claims under the ADEA that may arise after

(a) he has a period of at least twenty-one (21) days within which to review, consider, and sign
this Agreement;

revoke this Agreement. If Executive wishes to revoke this Agreement after signing, he must provide written notice of that revocation to the Company at the address set forth in paragraph 4.9 below within said
7-day revocation period. The release of claims contained in this Agreement becomes effective and enforceable after the expiration of seven (7) days after Executive has signed this Agreement, provided he
has not revoked it during that period; 
 (c) he has been advised, and has had an opportunity, to review and discuss the terms and meaning
of this Agreement with legal counsel of his choosing; 
 (d) he understands the terms and meaning of this Agreement, including that he is
knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing all claims described in paragraph 1(a), including any claims under the ADEA;

 ARTICLE IV 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

4.1 Term. Subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 below, this Agreement shall extend from the Effective Date through and
including the Retirement Date, provided that, if, prior to the Retirement Date, Executive voluntarily terminates his employment or the Company terminates Executive’s employment “for Cause”, Executive shall not be eligible for
the benefits set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in that certain Change in Control Severance Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2020 (the
“CIC Agreement”), between the Company and the Executive, as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. 

4.2 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared illegal or unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction and if such provision cannot be modified to be enforceable (including the general release language), such provision shall immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of the Agreement in full force and effect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the scope of the restrictive covenants in Article II of this Agreement exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court deems reasonable and enforceable, the parties
intend that the court should reform, modify and enforce the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable. 

4.3 Injunctive Relief; Survival. In the event of a breach by Executive of any of the provisions of this Agreement,
the Company shall be entitled, if it shall so elect, to institute legal proceedings to obtain damages for any such breach or to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by Executive and to enjoin him from any further violation of this
Agreement and to exercise such remedies cumulatively or in conjunction with all other rights and remedies provided by law. Executive acknowledges that the remedies at law for any breach of this Agreement may be inadequate, and that the Company shall
be entitled to injunctive relief in the event of a breach of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that his breach or threatened breach of the covenants in Article II of this Agreement would cause the Company irreparable harm, and that the Company
would be entitled to seek extraordinary relief in court, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary or permanent injunctions, or other equitable relief, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not
afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any security. If Executive breaches any of the restrictive covenants in Article II, to the extent authorized by law, Executive will be responsible for the reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs the Company incurs in enforcing this Agreement. Additionally, if Executive violates any of the terms of the restrictive covenants in Article II, the period of time during which such restrictive covenant would otherwise have been in
effect under the terms of this Agreement shall be automatically extended by the period of time during which Executive was in violation of such covenant(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in or implied by this Agreement, the
provisions of Articles II and III of this Agreement and of this Article IV shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 4.4
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements, proposed or otherwise, written or oral, concerning the subject matters of
this Agreement. However, this Agreement shall not supersede (a) the CIC Agreement or (b) any obligation of Executive under any agreement concerning confidentiality, trade secrets, proprietary information,
non-disclosure, inventions, patents, copyrights or intellectual property that Executive previously executed, which in each case shall continue to remain in full force and effect. Executive agrees that he has
not relied on any representation or statement, whether written or oral, other than as set forth in this Agreement. Furthermore, no modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing signed by both parties. 

  
 8 












 4.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the respective heirs, executors, legal representatives and other successors and assigns of the parties to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from consolidating or merging
into or with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or entity which assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder. Upon such consolidation, merger or transfer of assets
and assumption, the term “Company” as used herein shall mean such other corporation or entity, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 

4.6 Construction. The language of all sections of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to
its fair meaning and not strictly against the drafter of the language of this Agreement. 
 4.7 Judicial Enforcement.
This Agreement may be specially enforced in judicial proceedings. 
 4.8 Counterparts; Section Headings; Gender and
Number. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The section headings of this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Where appropriate to the context of this Agreement, (a) use of the singular shall be deemed also to refer to the
plural and use of the plural to the singular, and (b) the use of the word “its” or another word denoting any gender shall include all genders. 

4.9 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted by this Agreement to be delivered by one
party to another must be in writing and personally delivered or sent by registered United States mail (return receipt requested and postage prepaid), by overnight delivery or by facsimile transmission, to the address for such party specified below
or to such other address as the party may from time to time advise the other parties, and shall be deemed to have been delivered upon actual personal delivery, on the first business day after the date of delivery shown on any such facsimile

in full force and effect in all respects, regardless of such additional or different facts, whether such facts are now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, discoverable, or not currently discoverable. 

2. Retained Claims. The parties agree, and Executive understands, that this Release does not waive or restrict
Executive’s right or ability to file: 
 (a) a claim challenging the validity of this Agreement, including challenges made pursuant to
the ADEA or Older Worker Benefits Protection Act; 
 (b) a claim or pursue a remedy for any rights or claims under the ADEA that may arise
after the Effective Date; 
 (c) a claim compelling enforcement of the Retirement Agreement; 

(d) a claim for unemployment compensation benefits, provided that the Company cannot and will not make the ultimate determination as to
Executive’s eligibility for such benefits; 
 (e) a claim for workers’ compensation benefits; 

(f) a claim for long-term or short-term disability; and/or 

(g) a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal, state or local administrative body or
government agency. Executive agrees, however, that he shall not be entitled to receive any monetary benefit from or obtain any monetary relief through any such charge or complaint, whether filed by Executive or on Executive’s behalf, based upon
claims arising from or attributable in any way to his employment with, or retirement or separation from employment with, the Company. 
 In addition, this
Release does not surrender or waive any right Executive may have under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including but not limited to his right to any vested and accrued retirement benefits. 

3. Knowing and Voluntary Agreement. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that: 

(a) he has a period of at least twenty-one (21) days within which to review, consider, and sign
this Release 
 (b) he has a period of seven (7) days following his execution of this Release within which to change his mind and
revoke this Release. If Executive wishes to revoke this Agreement after signing, he must provide written notice of that revocation to the Company at the address set forth in paragraph 4.9 of the Retirement Agreement within said 7-day revocation period. The release of claims contained in this Release becomes effective and enforceable after the expiration of seven (7) days after Executive has signed this Release, provided he has not
revoked it during that period; 

  
 12 












 (c) he has been advised, and has had an opportunity, to review and discuss the terms and
meaning of this Release with legal counsel of his choosing; 
 (d) he understands the terms and meaning of this Release, including that he
is knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing all claims described in paragraph 1(a), including any claims under the ADEA; 
 (e) the
consideration Executive is receiving in exchange for this Release is something of value to which Executive is not already entitled; and 

(f) he is signing this Release freely and voluntarily. 

4. Severability. Should any provision of this Release be declared illegal or unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction and if such provision cannot be modified to be enforceable (including the general release language), such provision shall immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of the Release in full force and effect. 

5. Successors and Assigns. This Release shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the respective
heirs, executors, legal representatives and other successors and assigns of the parties named herein. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive has
duly executed this Release as of the date first above written.
