Exhibit 10.7

Axcelis Technologies, Inc.

Named Executive Officer Base Compensation at February 14, 2026

 

This Exhibit discloses the current agreements with respect to base compensation between Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and each of:

 

·                  the Company’s principal executive officer (Russell J. Low),

 

·                  the Company’s principal financial officer (James G. Coogan), and

 

the three most highly compensated other executive officers serving as executive officers at December 31, 2025, who are still serving as executive officers as of the filing date of this Form 10-K.

 

These executive officers are referred to herein as “named executive officers” or “NEOs.”

 

Russell J. Low entered into a written agreement with the Company addressing a minimum level of base salary due to the executive. This employment agreement is listed as an Exhibit to this Form 10-K.  Each of the other NEOs and the Company have entered into an Executive Separation Pay Agreement in which a termination without cause will entitle the executive to one year of separation pay.  The form of Executive Separation Pay Agreement is listed as an Exhibit to this Form 10-K.

 

The Company maintains that all executive officers, other than Dr. Low, are employees at will and that the Company has no obligation to continue their employment, other than in cases where such obligation arises under either a Change of Control Agreement or an Executive Separation Pay Agreement as described in our Proxy Statement and as filed as Exhibits to this Form 10-K.

 

Rate of Base Pay

  

In the course of the employment relationship with each NEO, the Company communicates to the named executive officer the amount of base salary approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which compensation is subject to change in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (provided Dr. Low’s employment agreements set a minimum base pay amount). The following table sets forth the annual base salary as communicated to the named executive officers of the Company as in effect on February 14, 2026:
