Long-Term Incentive Awards

On August 15, 2026 (the “Grant Date”), the below-listed members of the Company’s executive team will receive equity awards under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”), having the following target award values (“Target Value”):

Name and TitleTarget Value
Lisa T. Su, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer$36,000,000
Jean Hu, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer$9,000,000
Mark Papermaster, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer$10,000,000
Darren Grasby, Executive Vice President, Chief Sales Officer and President EMEA$7,500,000
Forrest Norrod, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Data Center Solutions$8,000,000

For Dr. Su, her Target Value will be converted on the Grant Date into a mix of 75% performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and 25% time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

For Ms. Hu and Messrs. Papermaster, Grasby and Norrod, their respective Target Values will be converted on the Grant Date into a mix of 60% PRSUs and 40% RSUs.

The target number of PRSUs and the number of RSUs for each recipient will be determined by dividing the applicable portion of the recipient’s Target Value by the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the Grant Date.




PRSUs. The number of PRSUs that may be earned by a recipient will range from 0% to 250% of the recipient’s target number of PRSUs. Each PRSU represents the contractual right to receive, upon such PRSU becoming earned and vested, one share of Company common stock. Subject to the foregoing award limits, the actual number of PRSUs earned will be calculated as follows:

(a) The recipient will earn between 0% and 200% of the recipient’s target number of PRSUs depending on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of each of the component companies of the S&P 500 Index, subject to adjustments, as of the Grant Date (each a "Peer Company"), in each case over the performance period that begins on August 15, 2026 and ends on August 15, 2029 (or, if earlier, the date immediately preceding the effective date of a change of control (as defined in the Stock Plan)) (as applicable, the “Performance Period”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company's TSR over the Performance Period is negative, then the total number of PRSUs (if any) earned by the recipient pursuant to this clause (a) may not exceed 100% of the recipient’s target number of PRSUs.

The TSR will be measured based on the average closing sales price of the Company's and each Peer Company's stock for the 60-trading-day period ending on (and including) each of (x) August 15, 2026, and (y) the last day or the Performance Period, accounting for reinvestment of dividends.

(b) The recipient will earn an additional number of PRSUs equal to 0%, 25% or 50% of the number of PRSUs (if any) earned by such named executive officer under clause (a), above, depending on the Company’s non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) for fiscal 2028 as compared to the Company’s target fiscal 2026 non-GAAP EPS.

If a change of control occurs before the Company reports its fiscal 2028 earnings, but after the Company reports its fiscal 2027 earnings, the recipient will earn 0%, 25%, or 50% of the number of PRSUs (if any) earned by the recipient under clause (a), above, based on the percentage by which the Company’s fiscal 2027 non-GAAP EPS exceeds its fiscal 2026 non-GAAP EPS. If a change of control occurs before the Company reports its fiscal 2027 earnings, no additional PRSUs will be earned by the recipient under this clause (b).

Vesting of any earned PRSUs is generally subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company through August 15, 2029. Earned and vested PRSUs will generally be settled on August 22, 2029 or, if later, the date that is three business days following the Committee’s certification of performance. In the event of a change in control, the number of earned PRSUs will be determined by the Committee based on actual performance as of the date of the change in control and such number of earned PRSUs will convert automatically into RSUs that will generally vest and be settled upon the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the change in control or August 15, 2029.

RSUs. The RSUs will vest 1/4 on August 15, 2027 and then quarterly thereafter until August 15, 2030. Each RSU represents the contractual right to receive, upon such RSU becoming vested, one share of Company common stock.
