**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

On March 27, 2023, as part of a planned leadership succession process, Jeffrey J. "Jeff" Waneka notified MYR Group Inc. (the "Company") of his decision to retire as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company's Commercial and Industrial ("C&I") segment, effective May 1, 2023 (the "Effective Date"). Following the Effective Date, Mr. Waneka is expected to remain in an advisory role with the Company for up to three months to assist with an orderly transition of his duties. Mr. Waneka's annual base salary, health and welfare benefits, and perquisites will continue unchanged during the continued employment period, but he will not be entitled to an annual incentive opportunity for 2023.

On March 27, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Don A. Egan, 52, to serve as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer C&I, effective May 1, 2023. Mr. Egan currently serves as the Company's Group Vice President, C&I, a position he has held since January 2017. Prior to his current role, Mr. Egan served in various roles with the Company and its subsidiaries since joining a subsidiary of the Company in 1992, including leading several of the Companies subsidiaries.

There are no family relationships, as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K, between Mr. Egan and any of the Company's executive officers or directors or persons nominated or chosen to become a director or executive officer. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Egan and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Egan was appointed as an officer of the Company. There are no transactions in which Mr. Egan has a direct or indirect material interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with Mr. Egan's appointment to serve as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer C&I, the Company expects to enter into an employment agreement with Mr. Egan (the "Egan Employment Agreement"), with an effective date of May 1, 2023. Under the Egan Employment Agreement, Mr. Egan is expected to be eligible to receive a base salary of $390,000 per year and is expected to be eligible to participate in all incentive, 401(k), profit sharing, retirement and welfare benefit plans, policies and arrangements generally applicable to our other similarly-situated executive officers. Subject to prior notice, the Egan Employment Agreement is expected to automatically renew annually for an additional one-year term following an initial term that would expire on May 1, 2024. The Egan Employment Agreement is expected to contain non-competition covenants restricting the ability of Mr. Egan to compete with us, solicit our clients or recruit our employees during the term of his employment and for a period of one year thereafter, as well as prohibit him from disclosing confidential information and trade secrets of the Company.

Under the Egan Employment Agreement, if Mr. Egan's employment is terminated without cause, or he resigns with good reason, Mr. Egan is expected to be eligible to receive a lump sum severance payment equal to (1) two times the sum of his base salary and target bonus (or three times, in the case of a termination without cause or for good reason within one year following a "change of control" (as defined in the Egan Employment Agreement)) plus (2) the cost of maintaining COBRA continuation coverage for himself and his dependents for 24 months. The Egan Employment Agreement is not expected to provide for any golden parachute excise tax gross up.

\* \* \* \* \*

The foregoing description of the terms of the Egan Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of such agreement, which is expected to be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

A copy of the press release announcing the foregoing management changes is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenue, income, capital spending, segment improvements and investments.
