## Exhibit 10.1

**<u>Consulting Agreement</u>**

This Consulting Agreement (this "<u>Agreement</u>") is entered into on June 26, 2026 by and between Innventure, Inc., a Delaware corporation having a principal place of business at 6900 Tavistock Lakes Blvd, Suite 400, Orlando, FL 32827 (the "<u>Company</u>"), and Gregory W. Haskell, an individual ("<u>Consultant</u>").

Company and Consultant may each be referred to herein individually as a "<u>Party</u>," and together, as the "<u>Parties</u>."

**WHEREAS**, Consultant has served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and is retiring from that position on October 1, 2026 (the "<u>Transition Date</u>"); and

**WHEREAS**, the Company desires to retain Consultant following his retirement to provide transition services to the Company's new Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors of the Company (the "<u>Board</u>"), and Consultant desires to provide such services.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

**1. Scope of Services**

Beginning on the Transition Date, Consultant shall make himself available to provide transition services to the Company's new Chief Executive Officer and the Board, including responding to questions and providing guidance as may reasonably arise in connection with the transition of the Company's leadership (collectively, the "<u>Services"</u>). The Parties acknowledge that there is no minimum number of hours that Consultant is required to devote to performing Services hereunder; the nature of this engagement is that Consultant will be available to respond to questions and provide information as may arise from time to time. In providing the Services, Consultant shall be considered a service provider of the Company and its operating companies, including for the avoidance of doubt, Refinity Holdings, LLC ("<u>Refinity</u>").

**2. Consideration**

As consideration for the Services to be provided by Consultant hereunder, (a) the Company shall reimburse Consultant for the full monthly cost of premiums for the period from October 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027 associated with Consultant's election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("<u>COBRA</u>"), as necessary to continue Consultant's and Consultant's spouse's health, dental, and vision coverage through COBRA at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Consultant's termination of employment and (b) Company restricted stock units granted to Consultant pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units Agreement between Consultant and the Company dated as of April 2, 2026 (the "<u>RSU Agreement</u>"), stock options granted to Consultant pursuant to the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement between Consultant and the Company dated as of April 2, 2026 (the "<u>Options Agreement</u>") and Refinity profits interests units granted to Consultant pursuant to the Profits Interest Unit Award Agreement between Consultant and Refinity dated as of December 11, 2024 (the "<u>PI Units Agreement</u>") shall continue to vest in accordance with their respective

------

existing vesting schedules during the period beginning on the Transition Date and ending on July 15, 2027. The Company shall reimburse Consultant for travel and other reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Services; provided, however, that such expenses shall be approved in advance by the Company.

**3. Term** 

This Agreement shall remain in effect until July 15, 2027, unless earlier terminated by mutual written agreement of the Parties. Upon termination, (a) Consultant's obligations to perform the Services shall cease and (b) Consultant shall return, delete, or destroy all Confidential Information (defined below) in Consultant's possession or control and provide a complete copy of any Work Product (defined below) to the Company to the extent such Work Product has not already been provided. Any provision of this Agreement that contains any right, obligation, or required performance of the Parties which, by its express terms or nature and context, is intended to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, will survive any such termination or expiration.

**4. Relationship Between the Parties**

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any employer-employee, agency, joint venture, partnership, or any joint relationship between the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as granting any authority to a Party to bind the other Party to any agreement or obligation, or to make any representations or warranties on behalf of the other Party. It is expressly stipulated and agreed that Consultant is, and shall remain, an independent contractor, responsible and liable for Consultant's own actions and omissions.

**5. Confidentiality**

(a) "<u>Confidential Information</u>" means all non-public, proprietary, or confidential information of the Company and its affiliates disclosed by or on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates to Consultant, whether disclosed orally, in writing, electronically, or by inspection of tangible objects, including without limitation: business plans, financial data, trade secrets, customer and investor information, intellectual property, technical data, product designs, marketing plans, strategic plans, personnel information, and any other information that is designated as confidential or that, given the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, reasonably should be treated as confidential. Confidential Information shall also include information that the Company or its affiliates are obligated to keep confidential under applicable law, regulation, or contract. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of or breach by Consultant; (ii) was rightfully in Consultant's possession prior to disclosure by the Company without restriction on disclosure; (iii) is independently developed by Consultant without use of or reference to the Confidential Information; or (iv) is rightfully obtained by Consultant from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of any obligation to the Company.

(b) Consultant agrees to (i) hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence, (ii) not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the Company, and (iii) not use any Confidential Information for any purpose except in carrying out his duties under this Agreement. Consultant shall take reasonable precautions to safeguard the

------

Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure or use, using at least the same degree of care Consultant uses to protect his own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law, rule, regulation, or legal process; provided that Consultant shall (i) promptly notify the Company in writing of such requirement (to the extent legally permitted), (ii) cooperate with the Company in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to limit such disclosure, and (iii) disclose only the minimum amount of Confidential Information necessary to comply with such requirement.

(d) The obligations under this Section 5 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

**6. Work Product; Intellectual Property**

(a) Consultant acknowledges and agrees that all work product, deliverables, reports, analyses, recommendations, documents, materials, inventions, discoveries, developments, improvements, and other results of the Services created, conceived, or reduced to practice by Consultant, alone or jointly with others, in connection with or arising out of the performance of the Services under this Agreement (collectively, "<u>Work Product</u>") shall be considered "works made for hire" as defined under the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

(b) To the extent that any Work Product does not qualify as a "work made for hire," Consultant hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to the Company all right, title, and interest in and to such Work Product, including all intellectual property rights therein. Consultant agrees to execute any documents and take any actions reasonably requested by the Company to evidence, perfect, or enforce the Company's rights in the Work Product.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Consultant hereby irrevocably waives any and all moral rights in the Work Product, including any right of attribution, integrity, disclosure, and withdrawal.

**7. Remedies**

Consultant acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Consultant may cause material and irreparable damage to the Company, the amount of which may be extremely difficult or impossible to establish. Accordingly, Consultant agrees that in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, the Company will be entitled, in addition to any monetary damages and to any other remedies, to seek an order or an injunction restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

**8. Entire Agreement**

This Agreement, along with the RSU Agreement, the Options Agreement and the PI Units Agreement, contains the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained. For the avoidance

------

of doubt, the Parties agree that this Agreement is not intended to supersede any agreements related to Consultant's role as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

**9. Notices**

## Exhibit 99.1

**Innventure Announces Appointment of Dr. Bill Grieco as CEO following Retirement of Current CEO Bill Haskell**

*Leadership transition to be completed by October 1, 2026*

**Orlando, FL — June 30, 2026 —** Innventure, Inc. (NASDAQ: INV), an industrial growth conglomerate, today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Dr. Bill Grieco as Innventure's next Chief Executive Officer, effective October 1, 2026. Dr. Grieco will succeed Bill Haskell, who is retiring after a distinguished career spanning more than 45 years – the last six of which have been as Innventure's CEO. Mr. Haskell will work closely with Dr. Grieco to support a seamless transition over the next three months.

The appointment follows a comprehensive succession planning and search process led by a subcommittee of Innventure's Board, conducted with the assistance of a leading executive search firm that evaluated both internal and external candidates.

"On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Bill Haskell for his leadership and dedication in building Innventure into the platform it is today, and we wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement," said Mike Otworth, Innventure's Executive Chairman. "As we enter our next phase of growth, we are excited to welcome Bill Grieco as Chief Executive Officer. Bill is already focused on developing an aggressive first 100 days plan for milestone execution to facilitate Innventure finishing the year strongly. I'm confident that Innventure stakeholders will be pleased by Bill's transparency and proactive communication to our shareholders and business partners."

Dr. Grieco currently serves as the founding Chief Executive Officer of Refinity, one of Innventure's operating companies and as board member of Refinity and Accelsius. From 2022 to 2024, he served as Innventure's Chief Technology Officer. Prior to Innventure, Dr. Grieco was the CEO of The RAPID Manufacturing Institute® and led R&D for the $3 billion Building Materials Group at Owens Corning. He brings a long history of working alongside multinational corporations to bring differentiated technologies to commercial scale, together with the operating discipline of having led a company through its build-and-scale phase. Dr. Grieco earned a PhD and master's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a bachelor's degree from Georgia Institute of Technology, all in Chemical Engineering.

"I share the Board's confidence that Bill Grieco is the right leader for Innventure's next chapter," said Haskell. "He understands our model from the inside, having helped guide our operating companies at the board level and leading Refinity as CEO. Dr. Grieco was also a key member of the evaluation team that led to the founding of Accelsius. He has been a founding director of Accelsius and continues to sit on the board. Given his depth of knowledge of both Accelsius and Refinity, coupled with his extensive experience co-developing the Innventure model, we think that he has the unique ability to seamlessly lead Innventure. He has earned the trust and respect of our multinational collaboration partners, internal teams, and the Board. I am confident Innventure will be in exceptional hands."

"I am honored by the Board's confidence and grateful for everything Bill Haskell has built," said Dr. Grieco. "Innventure's model is unique, and it works because it pairs breakthrough technologies with the discipline to launch and grow companies with compelling value propositions. I intend to focus on growing our relationships with multinational partners, scaling our operating companies pragmatically, and creating value for our shareholders."
