Item 5.02.

Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 3, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Atmos Energy Corporation (the “Company”) amended and restated the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan for Management (the “Plan”). The amendments to the Plan eliminated outdated references to U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) which has been repealed, expanded the categories of permissible performance goals and adjustments for annual incentive compensation opportunities granted under the Plan, and eliminated the Plan’s prior annual cap on award payouts which was previously required by 162(m). The amendments also eliminated the scheduled termination date for the Plan, which would have otherwise occurred on September 30, 2021. The Plan will now continue indefinitely until amended, suspended or discontinued by the Board. Finally, the amendments make clear that awards granted under the Plan are subject to any recoupment policy adopted by the Company. The foregoing summary of the Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
