Exhibit 10.1

Transition Agreement
This Transition Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between Cardlytics, Inc. (the “Company”) and Kirk Somers (“You” or “Your”) (collectively the “Parties”), is entered into and effective as of June 20, 2022 (the “Effective Date”).

1.Termination of Separation Agreement. As of the Effective Date, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Amended and Restated Separation Pay Agreement between You and the Company dated January 26, 2018 (the “Separation Agreement”) shall terminate. The termination of the Separation Agreement does not and will not result in the vesting, acceleration, or triggering of any employment benefit in Your favor, including, but not limited to, any post-termination payment obligation or any separation payment or benefit, or any other right which You may have under the Separation Agreement.
2.Terms of Transition.
(a)At-Will Employment. The Company shall continue to employ You on an at-will basis through December 31, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). The time period from the Effective Date through the Separation Date shall be referred to herein as the “Transition Term.” During the Transition Term, either You or the Company may terminate Your employment at any time, with or without cause or notice. In the event that Your employment is terminated prior to the Separation Date, the date of termination shall be the Separation Date for all purposes of this Agreement. During the Transition Term, You are not eligible for (i) any bonuses except as set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) any vesting of restricted stock units, except those explicitly identified in Paragraph 2(c). During the Transition Term, if Your employment terminates prior to December 31, 2023 for any reason (including without limitation termination by reason of Your death or permanent disability) other than (A) Your termination by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Cardlytics, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)), or (B) Your resignation for any reason, then, provided that You otherwise satisfy all requirements for the payment of the consideration described in Section 3, You (or the representative of Your estate) will be entitled to payment of (1) any bonus that You otherwise would have received pursuant to Section 2(c)(iii) to the extent it has not yet been paid; (2) the amounts set forth in Section 3; (3) an amount equal to Four Hundred and Eighty Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($480,000.00) less the amount of compensation paid to You pursuant to Section 2(c), paid in equal installments (each of which shall constitute a separate payment for purposes of §409A of the Internal Revenue Code) over the period commencing with the first Company payroll date that is at least eight (8) days after You return an executed version of the Release Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and ending with December 31, 2023, and (4) an amount equal to the value, calculated on the Separation Date, of any restricted stock units or shares of restricted stock or stock options that are forfeited on the Separation Date but would have vested had Your employment continued through December 31, 2023, paid on the first Company payroll date that is at least eight (8) days after You return an executed version of the Release Agreement.
(b)Transition Duties. From the Effective Date through December 31, 2023, You agree to perform duties as requested and authorized by the Company, including, but not limited to, cooperating with the Company in effecting a smooth transition of Your duties and responsibilities as Chief Legal and Privacy Officer. After July 15, 2022, You shall only perform duties on an as-needed basis as reasonably instructed by the Company, and if instructed by the Company, shall refrain from performing any service or services. Any and all duties performed during the Transition Term shall be referred to herein as the “Transition Duties.” You agree to perform all Transition Duties faithfully, diligently, and industriously, and agree to use Your best efforts to complete the Transition Duties to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company. For avoidance of doubt, You will not be considered to have failed to perform the Transition Duties, or otherwise to have breached this Agreement, by reason of activities related to seeking new employment or, after July 15, 2022, by obtaining or commencing new employment, provided that such new employment would not violate the terms of the Prior Agreements (as hereinafter defined).
(c)Transition Compensation. During the Transition Term, the Company shall,
(i)Continue to pay You 90% of Your salary or $288,000 at the gross semi-monthly rate of Twelve Thousand Dollars ($12,000.00), subject to all applicable withholdings and paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule. You shall remain eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans in which You participated immediately prior to the Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans.
(ii)Continue to provide You medical benefits under the Company’s major medical group health plan through the Separation Date, and pay Your portion of Your monthly premiums as the Company has done prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that in the event that You obtain other employment that offers group health benefits, the Company’s obligation to provide such coverage shall immediately cease when You become eligible to participate in such group health benefit plan.
(i)Pay You the bonus You would have earned for the second quarter of 2022 based on the Company’s performance but only if similarly situated executives are actually paid such a bonus, paid on the same date the Company pays all such other bonuses for the second quarter of 2022.
(ii)Pay You a half of the annual bonus You would have earned for the year of 2022 based on the Company’s performance but only if similarly situated executives are actually paid such a bonus, paid on the same date the Company pays all such other bonuses for the year of 2022.
(iii)Ensure that all previously granted unvested Restricted Stock Units (performance and time-based) for which the performance criteria have already been achieved shall vest on schedule unless You are in possession of material non-public information of the Company in which case such RSUs will be released when You are no longer in possession of material non-public information. For clarity, the above referenced RSUs are expected to vest during the Transition Term:
A.6/9/2022 (delivered after vesting when the trading window opens): 7,813 shares based on achieving the adj contribution growth rate, Award Number 2905-E;

J.Any performance shares that vest prior to 12/31/2023.
3.Consideration. Provided You complete the entire Transition Term and otherwise comply with this Agreement, then following the completion of the entire Transition Term, You shall have twenty-one (21) days within which to return an executed version of the Release Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Company’s Vice President of People Operations, James Hart, located at 675 Ponce de Leon Avenue, Suite 6000, Atlanta, Georgia, 30308, and, only if You do so, and do not revoke Exhibit A, the Company shall pay You a lump sum separation payment equal to Forty-Eight Thousand Dollars ($48,000.00), minus all applicable withholdings, including taxes and Social Security (the “Separation Payment”). The Separation Payment shall be paid on the first Company payroll date that is at least eight (8) days after You return an executed version of the Release Agreement to the Company’s Vice President of People Operations.
Because You will no longer be employed by the Company following the Separation Date, Your rights to any particular employee benefit will be governed by applicable law and the terms and provisions of the Company’s various employee benefit plans and arrangements. You acknowledge that the Separation Date shall be the date used in determining benefits under all Company employee benefit plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Your Continuous Service as defined in the Plan shall continue through the Separation Date. The Company’s obligation to provide the payments and benefits set forth above shall terminate immediately if You breach this Agreement, the Release Agreement, or any post-termination obligations to which You are subject.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, if You breach this Agreement, the Release Agreement, or any post-termination obligations to which You are subject, You acknowledge and agree that (i) You shall return to the Company ninety-five percent (95%) of any amounts You received under this Section above within ten (10) calendar days after receiving notice from the Company of such breach, as such amounts are not deemed earned absent Your compliance with this Agreement and the Release Agreement, and (ii) the remaining five percent (5%) shall constitute full and complete consideration sufficient to support enforcement of this Agreement and the Release Agreement, including, but not limited to, Your release of claims hereunder.








Exhibit 10.1

(ii) do not claim that the Company violated or denied Your rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

You agree that changes or revisions to this Agreement, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the Offer Period; (vi) You have seven (7) calendar days after signing this Agreement to revoke this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”). If You revoke, the Agreement shall not be effective or enforceable and You shall not be entitled to the consideration set forth in this Agreement.

6.    No Admission of Liability. This Agreement is not an admission of liability by You or the Company1. The Company and You each denies any liability whatsoever. You and the Company enter into this Agreement to reach a mutual agreement concerning Your separation from the Company.
