Named Executive Officers, Footnote The principal executive officer (PEO) included in the summary compensation table total and compensation actually paid (CAP) total for

(2)The non-PEO NEOs included in the average summary compensation table total and average CAP for each year are as follows:
–2024 - John D. Kelly, J. Ronald Dail, and Ernest W. Torain, Jr.
–2023 - John D. Kelly, J. Ronald Dail, and Ernest W. Torain, Jr.
–2022 - C. Mark Hussey, John D. Kelly, J. Ronald Dail, and Ernest W. Torain, Jr.

Peer Group Issuers, Footnote The pay versus performance table above and the graph below compare the cumulative total shareholder return (TSR) on our common
stock against the cumulative TSR of the stocks making up an industry peer group from December 31, 2019 through December 31, 2024.
The industry peer group, which is consistent with the peer group used by the Company for its S-K Item 201(e) disclosures within the
2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, is comprised of the following companies: CRA International, Inc. (CRAI), FTI Consulting, Inc. (FCN),
ICF International, Inc. (ICFI), Premier, Inc. (PINC) and Resources Connection, Inc. (RGP). The graph and table assume a $100
investment in Huron Consulting Group Inc. common stock and an index of the industry peer group on December 31, 2019. The annual
TSR for each member of the peer group assumes all dividends are reinvested and was weighted based on its stock market
capitalization at the beginning of each year presented. 		       
PEO Total Compensation Amount $ 6,519,978 $ 5,706,403 $ 6,066,630 $ 3,595,855 $ 3,991,446

Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote CAP was calculated by subtracting from the summary compensation total the grant date fair value of awards included in the summary
compensation total, adding/(subtracting) the year-over-year change in fair value of unvested equity, adding/(subtracting) the year-over-
year change in fair value of prior years' unvested equity that vested in the current year (valued as of the vest date), and adding the fair
value of equity compensation granted in the current year (valued as of year-end). No dividends were paid in any year presented.
(4)The Compensation Committee determined revenues before reimbursable expenses to be the most important financial performance
measure used to link company performance to CAP to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs for 2024 because, in its view, it was most
consistent with our primary near-term objective of driving revenue growth. Please note that in 2024, the Company revised the line item
description of revenues to rename revenues as revenues before reimbursable expenses. The change in line item description had no
impact on the value of the company-selected measure in any period.
Below is additional information on the total amount of equity compensation included in CAP for the PEO and the average
amount of equity compensation included in CAP for the non-PEO NEOs for 2024:

Tabular List, Table Financial Performance Measures
The Compensation Committee uses the following four financial performance measures when determining actual compensation
paid to the named executive officers:
•Revenues before reimbursable expenses;
•Organic revenues;
•Adjusted EBITDA margin; and
•Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”).
        
Total Shareholder Return Amount $ 181 150 106 73 86
Peer Group Total Shareholder Return Amount 124 126 122 124 94
Net Income (Loss) $ 116,626,000 $ 62,479,000 $ 75,552,000 $ 62,987,000 $ (23,840,000)

Additional 402(v) Disclosure The increase in the PEO and average Other NEO CAP in 2022 as compared to 2021 and 2020 is primarily due to the increase
in the fair value of equity awards. From December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022, our stock price increased from $49.90 to
$72.60 and the expected funding of the 2020 and 2021 performance-based awards tied to performance against Adjusted
Diluted EPS and Revenue Growth metrics increased from 0% to 19% for the 2020 awards and 100% to 153% for the 2021
awards.
The increase in the PEO and average Other NEO CAP in 2023 also related to the increase in the fair value of equity awards.
From December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023, our stock price increased from $72.60 to $103.80 and the expected funding
of the 2021 and 2022 performance-based awards tied to performance against Adjusted Diluted EPS and Revenue Growth
metrics increased from 153% to 194% for the 2021 awards and 100% to 182% for the 2022 awards.
The increase in the PEO CAP in 2024 related to the increase in the fair value of equity awards; and the decrease in the
average Other NEO CAP in 2024 is primarily related to the departure of Mr. Torain effective March 15, 2024, partially offset by
the increase in the fair value of equity awards outstanding with the other NEOs. The increase in the fair value of equity awards
relates to the increase in our stock price from $103.80 to $124.26 from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 and the
expected funding of the 2022 and 2023 performance-based awards tied to performance against Adjusted Diluted EPS and
Revenue Growth metrics increased from 194% to 200% for the 2022 awards and 100% to 168% for the 2023 awards.
