On June 22, 2026, NVE Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Daniel A.

Pending shareholder approval, Dr. Baker will remain on the Board of Directors as Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors appointed Peter G. Eames, age 50, currently serving as Vice President of Advanced Technology, as President and Chief Executive Officer effective at that time. He was also nominated to the Company’s Board of Directors.
Dr. Eames has served as Vice President of Advanced Technology since 2016. Prior to that role, he served as Director of Advanced Technology, as a program manager, and as a research scientist. There are no family relationships between Dr. Eames and any director or executive officer of the Company, and there are no arrangements or understandings between Dr. Eames and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as an officer of the Company. There are no transactions involving Dr. Eames requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Current Chairman Terence W. Glarner, age 83, was nominated to remain on the Board.
Additionally, the Board nominated Caroyln W. Valentine to its Board of Directors. If elected by shareholders, she will join the Compensation and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees. Ms. Valentine, age 58, is President of Grason-Stadler, a Demant Company. Demant is a publicly traded hearing healthcare and audio technology group, and GSI is a world leader in audiology equipment.
