NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

You are cordially invited to attend our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (our “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Wednesday, May 8, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

We are holding our Annual Meeting to:

| • |  | Elect the nine director nominees named in this proxy statement;

| • |  | Ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year;

| • |  | Approve on a non-binding, advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers (“Say-on-Pay”), as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”);

| • |  | Vote on the stockholder proposal described in this proxy statement, if properly presented at our Annual Meeting; and

| • |  | Transact any other business that properly comes before our Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Questions and Answers (continued)

14. |  |  | Q: |  |  | WHAT IF I AM A BENEFICIAL OWNER AND DO NOT GIVE VOTING INSTRUCTIONS TO MY BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE? WHAT IS A BROKER NON-VOTE?
|  |  | A: |  |  | As a beneficial owner, in order to ensure your shares are voted, you must provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your broker or other nominee. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee, whether your shares can be voted by such person depends on the type of item being considered for vote. Non-Discretionary Items. The election of directors, the Say-on-Pay proposal, and the stockholder proposal are non-discretionary items and may not be voted on by brokers or other nominees who have not received specific voting instructions from beneficial owners. A broker non-vote occurs when your broker or other nominee has not received instructions from you as to how to vote your shares on a proposal and does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares on that proposal. Discretionary Items. The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year is a discretionary item. Generally, brokers and other nominees that do not receive voting instructions from beneficial owners may vote on these proposals in their discretion.
15. |  |  | Q: |  |  | CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE VOTED?
|  |  | A: |  |  | Yes. You may revoke or change your vote at any time before the voting concludes at our Annual Meeting. You may vote by proxy again on the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to our Annual Meeting will be counted), by signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date or by attending our Annual Meeting via the Internet and voting at the meeting. However, your attendance at our Annual Meeting via the Internet will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at our Annual Meeting or specifically request in writing that your prior proxy be revoked.
16. |  |  | Q: |  |  | WHAT IS A “QUORUM”?
|  |  | A: |  |  | For the purposes of our Annual Meeting, a “quorum” is the presence, in person or by proxy, by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at our Annual Meeting. There must be a quorum for our Annual Meeting to be held. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
17. |  |  | Q: |  |  | WHAT IS THE VOTING REQUIREMENT FOR EACH PROPOSAL TO PASS?
|  |  | A: |  |  | Election of Directors. Each of the nine director nominees will be elected if each of them receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of these elections. Each director nominee has submitted a written resignation that will be effective if he or she does not receive a majority of the votes cast for such director and the resignation is accepted by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, another authorized committee of the Board, or the Board. Ratification of the Appointment of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Because brokers and other nominees have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this item. Say-On-Pay Proposal. Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board, the Compensation and Leadership Resources Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) or us. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions about our executive compensation program. Abstentions have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

|  |  |  |  |  | Stockholder Proposal. Approval of the stockholder proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

18. |  |  | Q: |  |  | WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING?

19. |  |  | Q: |  |  | IS MY VOTE CONFIDENTIAL?
|  |  | A: |  |  | Proxy cards, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are mailed or returned directly to Broadridge and handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy.

20. |  |  | Q: |  |  | HOW WILL VOTING ON ANY BUSINESS NOT DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT BE CONDUCTED?
|  |  | A: |  |  | We do not know of any business to be considered at our Annual Meeting other than the items described in this proxy statement.

Hahn, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, to vote on such matters at their discretion.
21. |  |  | Q: |  |  | WHEN ARE THE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING DUE?

However, if our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders is not held within 30 days of May 8, 2025, the stockholder’s notice must be delivered no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which the first public announcement of the date of our 2025 annual meeting was made or the day the notice of our 2025 annual meeting is mailed. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders will not trigger a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder notice as described in this proxy statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the number of directors to be elected to the Board at an annual meeting is increased and we do not make a public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, the stockholder’s notice will be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by the increase, if it is delivered to our Corporate Secretary not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which we first make such public announcement.

The Chair of our Annual Meeting will determine if the procedures in the bylaws have been followed, and if not, declare that the nomination be disregarded. If the nomination was made in accordance with the procedures in our bylaws, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will apply the same criteria in evaluating the nominee as it would any other Board nominee candidate and will recommend to the Board whether or not the stockholder nominee should be nominated by the Board and included in our proxy statement. These criteria are described below in the description of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in the section entitled “Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors—Board Committees.” The nominee must be willing to provide a written questionnaire, representation and agreement, if requested by us, and any other information reasonably requested by us in connection with our evaluation of the nominee’s independence.

In addition, our bylaws permit certain of our stockholders who have beneficially owned 3% or more of our outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to submit nominations to be included in our proxy materials for up to 20% of the total number of directors then serving, provided that the stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the bylaws. Notice of proxy access director nominations must be delivered to our principal executive offices at Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 2485 Augustine Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054, Attention: Corporate Secretary, no earlier than 150 days or no later than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date the proxy materials were released in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting. For our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, the notice must be delivered between October 23, 2024, and no later than the close of business on November 22, 2024.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

Communications with the Board or Non-Management Directors

Anyone who wishes to communicate with our Board or with non-management directors may send their communications in writing to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 2485 Augustine Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054, Attention: Corporate Secretary or send an email to Corporate.Secretary@amd.com.

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Item 1—Election of Directors (continued)

Required Vote

At our Annual Meeting, our directors will be elected using a majority vote standard with respect to uncontested elections, such as this election. This standard requires that each director receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of these director elections. Each director nominee has submitted a written resignation that will be effective if he or she does not receive a majority of the votes cast for such director and the resignation is accepted by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, another authorized Board committee or the Board.

Recommendation of the Board Directors

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each of the director nominees. Unless you vote otherwise, your proxy will vote FOR the proposed nominees.

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board has adopted the Governance Principles to address significant corporate governance matters. The Governance Principles provide a framework for our corporate governance matters and include topics such as Board and Board committee composition and evaluation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing the Governance Principles and recommending any changes to the Governance Principles to the Board.

Independence of Directors

The Governance Principles provide that a substantial majority of the members of the Board must meet the criteria for independence as required by applicable law and the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). Among other criteria, no director qualifies as independent unless the Board determines that the director has no direct material relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. On an annual basis, the Board undertakes a review of director independence. The Board determined that all directors who served during fiscal 2023 and all of our director nominees, other than Dr. Su, are independent in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq rules.

In making its independence determinations, the Board reviewed direct and indirect transactions and relationships between each director, or any member of his or her immediate family, and us or one of our subsidiaries or affiliates based on information provided by the director, our records and publicly available information. All of the reviewed transactions and arrangements were entered into in the ordinary course of business and none of the transactions or arrangements involved an amount that (i) exceeded the greater of 5% of the recipient entity’s revenues or $200,000 with respect to transactions where a director or any member of his or her immediate family or spouse served in any capacity other than as a director of a publicly held corporation or (ii) exceeded $10,000 with respect to professional or consulting services provided by entities at which our directors serve as professors or employees.

The Board determined that none of our directors currently has or has had any direct or indirect material interest in any transactions and arrangements that would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as members of the Board. The Board also determined that each of the members of the Audit and Finance, Nominating and Corporate Governance and Compensation and Leadership Resources Committees are independent in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq rules.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

For fiscal 2023, the Compensation and Leadership Resources Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) was comprised of Ms. Vanderslice and Messrs. Durcan, Gregoire and Talwalkar. None of the members of the Compensation Committee is or has been an executive officer or employee of AMD. In addition, none of our executive officers serves on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company which has an executive officer who serves on our Board or Compensation Committee.

Board Leadership Structure

The Governance Principles permit the roles of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer to be filled by the same or different individuals, based on our needs, best practices and the interests of our stockholders. This allows the Board flexibility to determine whether the two roles should be combined or separated based upon our needs and the Board’s assessment of its leadership from time to time. The Board has the experience of functioning effectively either way.

Dr. Su, our President and Chief Executive Officer, serves as our Chair of the Board. Ms. Denzel, who is independent in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq rules, serves as our Lead Independent Director. The Board concluded that appointing Dr. Su to the role of Chair of the Board is the most appropriate leadership structure for AMD and best positions AMD to be innovative, compete successfully, and advance stockholder interests in the current environment. The Board believes that Dr. Su’s leadership of AMD’s business strategy, day-to-day operations, and risk management practices gained through multiple leadership positions (including as our President and Chief Executive Officer since October 2014) enables her to provide effective leadership to the Board. The Board consists entirely of independent directors, other than Dr. Su, and continues to exercise a strong, independent oversight function, with fully independent committees and a Lead Independent Director.

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Corporate Governance (continued)

Ms. Denzel, as Lead Independent Director, facilitates the Board’s oversight of management, promotes communication between management and our Board, engages with stockholders as required, and leads consideration of key governance matters. Ms. Denzel brings a wealth of diverse experience to our Board as Lead Independent Director. She has significant governance, risk management, and financial experience given her prior service as a public company CEO and various Senior Vice-President roles of a Fortune 50 company, which are relevant in her role as Lead Independent Director. The education and experience Ms. Denzel acquired through her board service at eight public companies over the past decade is useful in her oversight. In addition, she has demonstrated her commitment to exemplary board governance by earning a CERT Certificate in Cybersecurity Oversight conferred by Carnegie Mellon University and the National Association of Corporate Directors (“NACD”) and earning NACD Directorship Certification® in 2020. She currently serves on the board of the NACD and was named to the NACD Directorship 100™ List which recognizes the most influential corporate directors in 2020.

Ms. Denzel’s expertise, strong corporate governance experience, leadership skills and deep commitment to serve as Lead Independent Director, well positions Ms. Denzel to provide assertive, independent leadership and oversight to the Board. Ms. Denzel retains significant authority as Lead Independent Director and has broad powers and responsibilities. As Lead Independent Director, Ms. Denzel fulfills the following functions:

| • |  | coordinates the activities of our independent directors;

| • |  | calls meetings of the independent directors and chairs the executive sessions of the independent directors;

| • |  | ensures there is full and candid communication between the independent directors and other members of the Board and AMD’s management;

| • |  | sets and approves the agendas with the Chair of the Board, for each Board meeting, approves meeting schedules to ensure sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items, and determines who attends Board meetings, including management and outside advisors;

Ms. Denzel also chairs the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and provides input on the Board’s governance processes, including developing recommendations for Board succession planning, committee structure and composition. The Board recognizes the importance of the Company’s leadership structure to our shareholders and will continue to review, discuss and determine the leadership structure of the Board, including the Chair, that best meets AMD’s evolving needs.

Risk Oversight

The Board’s role in risk oversight is consistent with our leadership structure, with our Chief Executive Officer and other members of management having responsibility for day-to-day risk management activities and processes, and our Board and its committees being actively involved in overseeing our risk management process. We engage in activities that seek to take calculated risks that protect the value of our existing assets and create new or future value. The Board and management consider “risk” for these purposes to be the possibility of an undesired occurrence that could threaten the viability of the Company, result in a material destruction of our assets or stockholder value, or materially impact our long-term performance. Examples of the types of risks faced by us include:

| • |  | business-specific risks related to our ability to develop new products and services, our strategic position and competition in key existing and new markets, our operational execution and infrastructure, our relationships with our third-party manufacturing suppliers and competition in the microprocessor and graphics markets;

| • |  | macroeconomic risks, such as adverse global economic conditions and global geo-political events; and

| • |  | “event” risks, such as the impact of COVID-19, natural disasters and cybersecurity threats.

Corporate Governance (continued)

Management is responsible for day-to-day risk management activities and processes. Members of senior management participate in the identification and assessment of the inherent risks that potentially could impact our business and develop processes and controls designed to monitor and mitigate those risks. Our Chief Executive Officer has ultimate responsibility for management of our business, including identification of enterprise- level risks and the risk management program and processes. The Company has a dedicated enterprise risk management function that closely works with our Board, Chief Executive Officer and senior management to assess risks, track the mitigation strategies of each relevant risk and highlight emerging risks that could pose a significant threat to the business. We also have a Chief Compliance Officer who reports directly to our General Counsel. The Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for the Company’s global corporate compliance program, consisting of comprehensive legal and regulatory policies and procedures, that includes employee training on how to implement and comply with them.

In fulfilling its oversight role, the Board focuses on understanding the nature of our enterprise risks, including risks in our operations, finance and strategy, organization, compliance and external exposures as well as the adequacy of our risk assessment and risk management processes. The Board has implemented a risk oversight model and periodically receives reports and updates from management and the enterprise risk management function. The risk oversight model includes an assessment of the impact, likelihood, and velocity of each identified risk to aid in strategic decision making. At least annually, the Board discusses with management the appropriate level of risk relative to our strategy and objectives and reviews with management our existing risk management processes and their effectiveness. The Board also receives periodic management updates on our operations, organization, financial position and results and strategy and, as appropriate, discusses and provides feedback with respect to risks related to these topics. The existence and efficacy of risk mitigation and control plans and processes are further validated by the Company’s internal audit function. In addition, the Board receives full reports from the following Board committee chairs regarding each committee’s considerations and actions related to the specific risk topics over which the committee has oversight:

| • |  | The Audit and Finance Committee assists the Board in overseeing our enterprise risk management process, including the Company’s financial and information technology (including security and cybersecurity) risk exposures; reviews our portfolio of risk; discusses with management significant financial, reporting, regulatory and legal compliance risks in conjunction with enterprise risk exposures as well as risks associated with our capital structure; and reviews our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management and the actions management has taken to limit, monitor and control financial and enterprise risk exposure. The Audit and Finance Committee meets with members of our Internal Audit department and the enterprise risk management function to discuss any issues that warrant attention including the periodic review of emerging risks that are actively monitored. The Audit and Finance Committee also regularly reviews the adequacy of the Company’s financial disclosures including those relating to risk. On an annual basis, the Audit and Finance Committee receives a report from its independent cybersecurity advisor. In addition, our company’s Chief Compliance Officer attends all quarterly Audit and Finance Committee meetings.

| • |  | The Compensation and Leadership Resources Committee oversees risk management as it relates to our compensation policies and practices applicable to all employees. It reviews with management whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. For additional details, see “Executive Compensation Policies and Practices,” below. Additionally, the Compensation Committee oversees organizational risks, including leadership succession, talent capacity, capabilities, attraction, retention and culture and regularly engages with outside advisors to benchmark best practices for compensation program design and effectiveness.

| • |  | The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers potential risks related to the effectiveness of the Board, including succession planning for the Board, committee structure and composition, our overall governance and Board structure and matters related to environmental and social issues.

| • |  | The Innovation and Technology Committee assists the Board in its oversight responsibilities relating to technical and market risks associated with product development and investment, sourcing strategy, as well as risk mitigation policies and procedures relating to products based on new technology or significant innovations to existing technology.

Further, other than when the Company is obligated by contract or otherwise, the initial list of candidates from which new management-supported Director nominees are chosen shall include qualified female and racially/ethnically diverse candidates. Any third-party consultant asked to furnish such a list of candidates will be instructed to include such candidates.

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

INVESTOR ENGAGEMENT

Our relationship with our stockholders is an important part of our company’s success and we have a long tradition of engaging with our stockholders and obtaining their perspectives. During 2023, our integrated outreach team, led by our Investor Relations group and executive compensation team, engaged with approximately 40% of our total shares outstanding and approximately 60% of our top 100 largest stockholders to discuss a wide variety of issues. We believe that our approach to engaging openly with our investors on topics such as financial issues, corporate governance, diversity and inclusion, executive compensation, and corporate responsibility drives increased corporate accountability, improves decision-making, and ultimately creates long-term value. We are committed to:

| • |  | Accountability. Maintain leading corporate governance practices to ensure good oversight, accountability, and good decision-making.

| • |  | Engagement. Proactively engage with stockholders and stakeholder groups in dialogue on a range of topics to solicit feedback and identify emerging trends and issues to inform our thinking and approach.

| • |  | Transparency. Maintain high levels of transparency on a range of financial and ESG matters to build trust and sustain two-way stakeholder dialogue that supports our business strategy and success.

In addition to our regular engagements, we hold a series of meetings every year with many of our institutional stockholders focused on compensation practices, corporate responsibility, environmental, social and governance issues as well as diversity and inclusion, among other topics. We pursue multiple avenues for stockholder engagement, including in-person and virtual meetings with our stockholders, participating at various conferences, and issuing periodic reports on our activities. Through these activities, we discuss and receive input, provide additional information, and address questions on our corporate strategy, executive compensation programs, corporate governance, and other topics of interest to our stockholders. These engagement efforts with our stockholders allow us to better understand our stockholders’ priorities and perspectives and provide us with useful input. We actively engage with our stockholders on a year-round basis and remain active outside of proxy season as well. Feedback from these engagements is provided to the Board who in turn decides whether enhancements to our company’s policies and practices are required to meet stockholder expectations relating to current issues or emerging trends. For example, based on this feedback, in February 2024 the Board amended our bylaws to give stockholders holding no less than 20% of our capital stock continuously for at least one year the right to call a special meeting.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE

Together with our employees, partners, and customers, we create possibilities for how high-performance and adaptive computing can advance an inclusive, sustainable future for our world. Aligned with our pursuit of technology and product leadership, market diversification and expanded customer partnerships, our approach spans our products, operations, supply chain and external engagement. We look at opportunities and challenges in corporate responsibility (“CR”) through the lens of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) issues, which allows us to prioritize where we need to focus our efforts to have the most impact and operationalize our goals into the business. This approach also guides our reporting and transparency efforts on the issues that matter most to our business and our stakeholders.

Oversight of our approach to ESG and CR is multi-faceted:

| • |  | The highest level of ESG oversight (including risks and opportunities) at AMD resides with our Board, which receives reports from and engages with management on ESG matters at least annually. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee maintains formal oversight of the Company’s focus on ESG with reports and engagement at least annually. The Audit and Finance Committee oversees the Company’s voluntary and required ESG reporting and associated regulatory compliance with reports and engagement from management at least annually. The Compensation and Leadership Resources Committee oversees our focus on diversity, belonging and inclusion with reports and engagement at least annually.

| • |  | The AMD Executive Team (“AET”) receives regular updates, at least monthly, on ESG topics. Needs and proposals are discussed throughout the year when warranted. AET includes our Chief Executive Officer, President, executive vice presidents and certain senior vice presidents. AET members help set ESG strategic priorities and goals for their departments, while providing company investments and resources to demonstrate progress.

| • |  | The AMD ESG Executive Steering Committee is responsible for overseeing progress on our CR priorities, goals and disclosures while regularly communicating with the AET. In addition to on-going collaborative initiatives,

| the Committee collectively meets at least quarterly. It is comprised of cross-functional leaders (director level or higher) from Finance, Global Operations, Human Resources, Investor Relations, Legal, Public Affairs and other departments.

| • |  | The AMD Corporate Responsibility Team (the “CR Team”) works cross-departmentally to help operationalize the day-to-day management of many ESG-related policies, practices and infrastructure. The CR Team also leads ESG reporting. In its role, the CR Team regularly engages with other AMD departments such as EHS, Engineering, Global Operations, Human Resources, Communications, Investor Relations, Legal and Quality to help us effectively and efficiently manage environmental and social issues. CR reports to our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, who reports to our Chief Executive Officer.

We address a wide range of ESG-related issues, and on the basis of engagement with our stakeholders, we elevate four strategic CR areas with public goals to help drive our progress in these areas.

Environmental Sustainability

We recognize that our environmental sustainability efforts must continue to go beyond reducing greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions from our own operations. In fact, we have the opportunity to enable reductions in energy use and GHG emissions across industries. For the use of our products, we prioritize increasing the computing performance delivered per watt of energy consumed as a vital aspect of our business strategy. For example, accelerated compute nodes are the most powerful and advanced computing systems in the world used for scientific research and large-scale supercomputer simulations to achieve breakthroughs across many fields including material sciences, climate predictions, genomics, drug discovery and alternative energy. Accelerated nodes are also integral for training artificial intelligence (“AI”) neural networks that are currently used for activities including speech recognition, language translation and expert recommendation systems, with similar promising uses over the coming decade.

To help advance the possibilities of accelerated computing applications, AMD is pursuing a goal for 30x increase in energy efficiency for AMD processors and accelerators powering servers for artificial intelligence-training and high-performance computing by 2025 (base year 2020).(1) In 2023, we achieved a 13.5x improvement in energy efficiency for accelerated compute nodes from the 2020 baseline, which is relevant to potentially reducing the scope 3 GHG emissions associated with the use of our processors and accelerators.(2) We have publicly announced certain corporate responsibility goals spanning multiple topics informed by input from various of our stakeholders, including customers, investors and employees. These goals, reflect our current plans and aspirations based on known conditions, in the future these goals may change or expand further and may not be achieved.

Additionally, AMD powers eight of the top ten most energy efficient supercomputers, according to the Green500 List published in November 2023. AMD products help advance our customers’ pursuit of renewable energy generation, such as the optimization of wind farms and rooftop wind turbines.

We embed a focus on environmental sustainability within our own operations, too. We source renewable energy, utilize rainwater harvesting and reuse gray water, and help educate and inspire employees to conserve resources. To help measure our progress, our company is pursuing a science-based goal to achieve a 50% absolute reduction in GHG emissions from AMD operations (scope 1 and 2) by 2030 (base year 2020).(3)

As a fabless semiconductor company, working with our manufacturing suppliers and within the larger semiconductor ecosystem has been, and continues to be, a critical aspect of our long-term approach in environmental sustainability and for reduction of scope 3 GHG emissions. AMD continues to serve on the Responsible Business Alliance’s Senior Environmental Advisory Taskforce, in addition to our role serving on the board of directors, to help shape the sustainability strategy for the world’s largest industry coalition dedicated to CR in global supply chains. AMD is also a founding member of the Semiconductor Climate Consortium as well as a sponsor of its new Energy Collaborative which has a goal of enabling wider access to low-carbon energy sources in the Asia-Pacific region. AMD is honored to be recognized by CDP as a 2023 Supplier Engagement Leader for our actions to reduce emissions and manage climate risks in our supply chain. To help guide our progress we aim for 100% of AMD manufacturing suppliers(4) to have a public GHG emissions reduction goal by 2025 and for 80% of them to source renewable energy by 2025.

Diversity, Belonging and Inclusion

People are what powers AMD: to transform lives through high-performance and adaptive computing, we strive to attract, acquire, develop and advance the most engaged, diverse and inclusive workforce in the semiconductor industry.

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Environmental, Social and Governance (continued)

We are committed to growing our global team to include as many unique voices as possible: our Multi-Voice Initiative encourages and supports all AMDers who champion and, when needed, challenge our company culture with their unique perspectives. With this foundation of diversity, we foster an inclusive workplace where innovation thrives. We elevate our talent and improve business outcomes by encouraging employees to bring their whole selves to work, unleashing the full potential of each employee. This in turn creates a sense of community and purpose – what we at AMD call Belonging.

Our approach to diversity, belonging and inclusion (“DB&I”) includes:

| • |  | Listening to our employees through our annual AMDer Survey and curated groups;

| • |  | Continuing our relationships in the United States with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (“HBCUs”) and Hispanic-Serving Institutions (“HSIs”);

| • |  | Working to reduce unconscious bias in the workplace by educating our global workforce on the power of multiple voices in driving innovation;

| • |  | Advancing women in technology;

| • |  | Supporting and building the pipeline of next generation diverse leaders;

| • |  | Evaluating employee compensation programs annually so that colleagues performing similar work in the same geographic area and at the same level have equitable compensation opportunities;

| • |  | Embedding DB&I into our existing talent strategies; and

| • |  | Fostering an environment where every AMDer around the globe has the opportunity to amplify their unique voice to contribute to our company’s success.

Developing and strengthening our employee resource groups (“ERGs”) by increasing the capabilities of ERG leaders and expanding ERG impact globally. We aim for 70% of our employees to participate in ERGs or other AMD inclusion initiatives by 2025.(5)

Supply Chain Responsibility

We are committed to delivering high-quality products and helping enable working conditions throughout our supply chain to be safe, workers are treated with respect and dignity and the manufacturing processes of our products are environmentally responsible. In our manufacturing operations we depend on a carefully selected network of suppliers. We take a partnership approach with our suppliers to promote continuous improvement and drive positive change across our value chain.

At AMD, we respect human rights throughout our company, operations and supply chain. We work to uphold the relevant fundamental rights and freedoms of all people across the business aligned with the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”), the International Labour Organization’s (“ILO’s”) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (“UNGPs”) and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

To help measure our progress, we are pursuing goals by 2025 that include 100% of AMD supplier manufacturing(3) factories to have a Responsible Business Alliance audit or equivalent and 80% of AMD manufacturing suppliers, by spend, to participate in a capacity building activity.(6)

Digital Impact

We design products that help improve people’s lives through high-performance and adaptive computing solutions spanning healthcare, education, manufacturing, scientific research and other critical needs. But technology alone cannot achieve societal progress. Rather, it is the people who put this computing to work and spark new ideas that benefit society as a whole. That is why we engage and collaborate with our customers, industry and other stakeholders to design world-class high-performance and adaptive computing solutions that users can put to work to spark new ideas that benefit society, as well as to mitigate the potential negative impacts of the technology itself. Our approach entails fostering strategic relationships with researchers, non-profits, educators and students who are positioned to expand horizons and develop the groundbreaking innovations of tomorrow. Whether it is donating technology to help develop students’ sense of discovery or to enable scientists to responsibly push the boundaries of what is possible, we believe that when processing power meets brainpower, the future comes alive.

To help measure our progress, we aim for 100 million people to benefit from AMD and AMD Foundation philanthropy and partnerships that enable STEM education, scientific research and the workforce of the future by 2025 (base year 2020).(7)

(3) | AMD references this operational GHG reduction goal (market-based emissions) as a “science-based target” that is aligned with a 1.5°C scenario. The basis for this statement is the AMD GHG goal is aligned with the Science-based Target initiative’s (SBTi’s) 1.5-degree minimum target ambition of 4.2 percent linear annual reduction. The SBTi criteria considers multiple climate scenario models from the IAMC and IEA. Interim progress by AMD toward the goal is disclosed in the 2022-23 AMD CR Report (page 31) as measured by metric tCO2e of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions (market-based). The AMD 2020 base year value is 61,754 metric tCO2e and the 2030 target year value is 30,877 metric tCO2e (a 50 percent reduction). AMD reports total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for each interim year and undergoes third-party limited assurance of the Scope 1 and Scope 2 values, as well as the percentage completion toward the goal.

(4) | Manufacturing suppliers are suppliers that AMD buys from directly and that provide direct materials and/or manufacturing services to AMD.

(5) | These are voluntary initiatives in which an employee chooses to actively participate in one or more employee engagement programs that foster a culture of belonging, psychological safety and meaningful connection to AMD.

(6) | Capacity building activities aim to bring a continuous improvement culture to AMD manufacturing suppliers by providing resources to gain a deeper understanding of the root causes for non-compliance or to support a beyond compliance goal. Resources can include online modules, multiple 1:1 engagements or training courses.

(7) | For each year during the goal period, data includes a) students, faculty or researchers with direct access to AMD-donated technology, funding or volunteers; and b) individuals with a reasonable likelihood of receiving research data formulated through AMD-donated technology and potentially gaining useful insights or knowledge.

Determining Non-Employee Director Compensation.The Compensation Committee annually reviews our non-employee directors’ compensation. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee recommends any changes to our non-employee directors’ compensation to the Board for approval. In addition, the Board and Compensation Committee periodically evaluate how our director pay levels and pay policies compare to the competitive market. In 2023, the Board and Compensation Committee reviewed competitive market data regarding non-employee directors’ pay relative to our peer group (as described in more detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section) as well as the broader market which was compiled by Compensia, the independent compensation consultant to our Compensation Committee. While competitive market data is important to the evaluation of the directors’ compensation, such data is just one of several factors considered by the Board in approving director compensation, and the Board has discretion in determining the nature and extent of its use. In 2023, in addition to the competitive market data, the Board considered the amount of time associated with Board and Board committee services as well as annual share usage under our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) related to non-employee director compensation.

The Board continued to reallocate the mix of cash and equity compensation paid to our non-employee directors, with the goal of maintaining total average compensation per non-employee director at approximately the same level as had been previously paid and maintaining an affordable annual share usage. These changes are further described under “Cash Fees Paid to Non-Employee Directors” and “Equity Awards for Non-Employee Directors,” below.

Cash Fees Paid to Non-Employee Directors.The cash fees our non-employee directors were eligible to receive in fiscal 2023 was composed of the following elements:

| • |  | Annual retainer for services as a director;

| • |  | Annual retainer for services on a Board committee; and

| • |  | Annual retainer for services as a Board committee chair.

Annual Retainer for Service as Director. Non-employee directors are paid an annual retainer for their service as directors. In 2023, the annual cash retainer paid to non-employee directors was $100,000. Our Lead Independent Director also receives an additional $62,500 for their service in that role. The annual retainer for a non-employee Chair of the Board for a full year of service is 1.5 times the amount of the other Board members annual retainer, or $150,000.

DIrectors’ Compensation and Benefits (continued)

Annual Retainer for Service on Board Committees. During 2023, the Board continued the practice of paying additional annual retainers set forth below for service on a Board committee. These retainers were unchanged in 2023 from 2022.

Audit and Finance Committee |  | $ | 20,000 |
Compensation Committee |  | $ | 20,000 |
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee |  | $ | 10,000 |
Innovation and Technology Committee |  | $ | 20,000 |

Annual Retainer for Service as Board Committee Chair. In addition, non-employee directors receive annual retainers for serving as a chair of a Board committee, which are set forth below. These retainers were unchanged in 2023 from 2022.

Audit and Finance Committee |  | $ | 25,000 |
Compensation Committee |  | $ | 15,000 |
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee |  | $ | 10,000 |
Innovation and Technology Committee |  | $ | 15,000 |

Equity Awards for Non-Employee Directors.In order to align the long-term interests of our directors with those of our stockholders, a portion of director compensation is provided in the form of equity. Non-employee directors participate in the 2023 Plan and are entitled to receive equity awards under our Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy, subject to the terms of the 2023 Plan. Non-employee directors are generally eligible to receive an annual RSU award (an “Annual RSU Award”) upon re-election at each annual meeting of stockholders, and, if a non-employee director is appointed to the Board on a date other than the date of an annual meeting of stockholders, such director is entitled to receive an initial RSU award on his or her appointment to the Board (an “Off-Cycle RSU Grant”).

Annual RSU Awards. In 2023, under our Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy, the Annual RSU Award for each non-employee director (other than the Chair of the Board) who has served on the Board continuously prior to an annual meeting of stockholders is calculated based on the following formula, with no discretionary component: the quotient of (i) $250,000 (the “Target Equity Value”) divided by (ii) the average closing price of our common stock for the 30-trading day period preceding and ending with the date of the respective RSU grant. The Chair of the Board’s Annual RSU Award is 1.5x the Target Equity Value.

In addition, under our Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy, if a non-employee director has served on the Board for less than twelve months prior to an annual meeting of stockholders, such director’s Annual RSU Award is pro-rated based on the number of months of service before the respective annual meeting of stockholders. For purposes of the pro-rata calculation, service during any portion of a month counts as a full month of service. Our Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy was amended in January 2023 to increase the Target Equity Value to $250,000.

Off-Cycle RSU Grants. Under our current Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy, an Off-Cycle RSU Grant is equal to the quotient of (i) the Target Equity Value divided by (ii) the average closing price of our common stock for the 30-trading day period preceding and ending with the date of the respective RSU grant. The Annual RSU Awards and the Off-Cycle RSU Grants vest on the one-year anniversary of their grant dates.

In 2023, each of our non-employee directors received an Annual RSU Award under our current Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy.

Deferral. Pursuant to our Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy, our non-employee directors may elect to defer the issuance of shares of our common stock that become issuable upon vesting of the RSUs granted pursuant to the 2023 Plan (and the recognition of taxable income associated with such RSUs) until such time as the director ceases to serve on our Board. A non-employee director can make this election by completing a Restricted Stock Unit Award Deferral Election Agreement before the scheduled date of an RSU grant. If a director makes this election, the issuance

DIrectors’ Compensation and Benefits (continued)

of the common stock subject to the RSUs may not be accelerated or changed once the Election Agreement is submitted to us. Any common stock deferred under our Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy is issued to the director, in one lump sum, within 30 days after his or her resignation from our Board.

Acceleration of Vesting. Pursuant to our Outside Director Equity Compensation Policy, in the event of our change of control, all of our non-employee directors’ equity compensation awards will become fully vested. In addition, in the event of the termination of a non-employee director’s service to the Board as a result of death, disability or retirement, all of his or her equity compensation awards will become fully vested; provided that, such non-employee director served as a member of the Board for at least three years prior to the date of termination and satisfied our stock ownership guideline requirements during his or her service as a Board member.

Other Benefits for Non-Employee Directors.We reimburse our directors for their travel and expenses in connection with attending Board meetings and Board-related activities, such as AMD site visits and sponsored events, as well as for continuing education programs.

Stock Ownership Guidelines.Under our stock ownership guidelines, which were updated in August 2020, our non-employee directors are required to hold the lesser of (i) the number of shares equivalent to five times their then-current annual retainer divided by the average closing price of our common stock for the 30-day period immediately preceding and ending with the date of the annual meeting of stockholders or (ii) 30,000 shares (in the case of non-employee directors other than the Chair of our Board) or 45,000 shares (in the case of the Chair of the Board). The stock ownership guidelines must be achieved by each non-employee director within five years of the respective director’s first election or appointment to the Board or first appointment as Chair of the Board, as applicable.

Until the requirements of our stock ownership guidelines are achieved, each non-employee director is encouraged to retain at least 10% of the “net shares” (as defined below) obtained through our stock incentive plans. Shares counted toward the minimum stock ownership requirements include (i) shares of common stock owned outright by a director and his or her immediate family members who share the same household, whether held individually or jointly; (ii) restricted stock where the restrictions have lapsed; (iii) shares acquired upon stock option exercise; (iv) shares purchased in the open market; (v) restricted stock units where the restrictions have lapsed but the issuance of the shares to the director has been deferred at the election of the director pursuant to a company policy, plan or written agreement; and (vi) shares held in trust. “Net shares” are the number of shares from the sale of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units, less the number of shares the director sells to cover the exercise price of stock options or to pay taxes.

As of December 30, 2023, all of our non-employee directors were holding the required number of shares under our stock ownership guidelines or had time remaining to do so within the established compliance time frame.

Executive Summary

2023 Business Highlights

AMD executed well in 2023 despite a mixed market demand environment. Revenues were $22.7 billion, down four percent year-over-year as revenue growth in our Embedded and Data Center segments was offset by declines in our Client and Gaming segments. Data Center revenue grew 7% year-over-year to $6.5 billion, driven by higher sales of AMD InstinctTM GPUs and 4th Gen AMD EPYCTM CPUs. Embedded segment revenues increased by 17% to $5.3 billion, primarily driven by the full year of revenue associated with the acquisition of Xilinx. Our Data Center and Embedded segments accounted for more than 50% of total revenue during fiscal 2023. Client segment revenues declined by 25% to $4.7 billion due to weak PC market conditions and inventory correction across the PC supply chain that impacted the first half of fiscal 2023. Gaming segment revenue declined 9% to $6.2 billion, primarily driven by lower semi-custom product revenue.

Gross margin for the year was 46% compared to 45% last year, driven primarily by growth in our Embedded segment and lower amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Xilinx. Operating expenses grew 7%, reflecting increased R&D expenses supporting our investments in AI. Operating income for 2023 was $401 million compared to operating income of $1.3 billion for 2022. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower Client segment performance and increased R&D investments, partially offset by lower amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Net income for 2023 was $854 million compared to $1.3 billion in the prior year. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by lower operating income.

During 2023, AMD showcased growing momentum for advanced AMD technology-powered AI solutions from the data center to PCs, leveraging our strategic investments in R&D. We announced the general availability of AMD Instinct MI300X accelerators – with industry leading memory bandwidth performance for generative AI – as well as the AMD Instinct MI300A APU that combines AMD CDNA™ 3 and “Zen 4” chiplets to deliver breakthrough performance for High Performance Computing and AI workloads. We made significant progress expanding our AI software ecosystem, including unveiling the latest version of ROCm™ 6, software, optimized for generative AI. We showcased continued leadership in supercomputing, with AMD EPYC processors and AMD Instinct accelerators now powering 140 supercomputers on the latest Top500 list of the world’s fastest computers and eight of the top 10 most energy efficient supercomputers in the world based on the latest Green500 list.

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

We continued to expand our Client product portfolio, launching our RyzenTM 7000 Series Mobile processors bringing the power of “Zen 4” and AMD RDNA 3 integrated graphics architecture to notebook users. We also expanded our commercial portfolio with AMD Ryzen PRO 7000 Series Mobile processors offering advanced and power efficient x86 processors to business notebooks and mobile workstations. In Gaming Graphics, we expanded our RadeonTM 7000 GPU series with the launch of new RX 7600 XT series enthusiast desktop GPUs earlier this month that offer leadership price/performance for 1080P gaming. In the Embedded segment, we launched new Versal Prime Adaptive SoCs for the aerospace, test and measurement, healthcare and communications markets and in automotive, new Versal SoC solutions that bring industry-leading AI compute capabilities and advanced safety and security features to next generation vehicles.

Our balance sheet remains strong with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 30, 2023 at $5.8 billion, compared to $5.9 billion at the end of December 31, 2022. Our aggregate principal amount of total debt as of December 30, 2023 was $2.5 billion, flat compared to the prior year. During the year, we repurchased 9.7 million shares, returning $985 million to shareholders.

Overall, we significantly strengthened the competitiveness of our product roadmaps and continued our strong market share expansion. However, we missed our aggressive internal financial targets which are intentionally set to be rigorous and challenging to align with our pay for performance philosophy, resulting in below target payouts under the Executive Incentive Plan. As more fully described below, our executive pay is heavily weighted toward performance-based compensation that is tied to company, individual, and stock price performance which is reflected in our executive’s 2023 compensation.

From the end of fiscal 2018 to the end of fiscal 2023, our market capitalization increased 1,250%, generating approximately $220 billion in value for our stockholders. The following graphic compares the change in our market capitalization to the change in the S&P 500 and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector Index (“SOX”) from the end of fiscal 2018 through the end of fiscal 2023. Our stock continues to significantly outperform our peer index over the 3- and 5-year periods. We believe long-term periods are more relevant as short-term periods are more impacted by market volatility.

Mr. Norrod’s promotion retention equity award was designed by the Compensation Committee to reflect his increased responsibilities upon promotion as our Executive Vice President and General Manager, Data Center Solutions Group, and to promote his retention by providing Mr. Norrod with market competitive incentive compensation that aligns with stockholders’ interests. The number of PRSUs that may be earned by Mr. Norrod pursuant to the PRSU award is based on five-year compound annual growth rate milestones related to our closing stock price that may be attained within the performance period that begins on February 15, 2023 and ends on February 15, 2026, with potential payouts at 0%, 75%, 100%, 125%, 150%, 175% and 200% of the target number of PRSUs. Any PRSUs that become earned on or before February 15, 2026, are scheduled to vest 100% on February 15, 2026, generally subject to Mr. Norrod’s continued employment through such date and Compensation Committee certification of performance results. The time-based RSUs are scheduled to vest as to one-third of the underlying shares on each of February 15, 2024, February 15, 2025, and February 15, 2026, subject to Mr. Norrod’s continued employment with us through each vesting date.

2023 Executive Compensation Program – Highlights

We operate in a challenging, highly competitive and rapidly evolving global business environment. To compete effectively in this environment, our Compensation Committee has implemented an executive compensation program that is designed to: emphasize the alignment of pay for performance; advance our business strategies and objectives; drive the creation of long-term sustainable stockholder value; and attract, retain and motivate high-caliber senior leadership. Accordingly, our 2023 executive compensation program:

| • |  | Provides our Named Executive Officers with target total direct compensation that is competitive with the market;

| • |  | Rewards our Named Executive Officers for superior financial and operational results through our EIP, a short-term cash incentive program that puts a substantial component of pay at risk, with payouts tied to achievement of carefully selected and calibrated financial performance objectives and strategic milestones; and

| • |  | Aligns our Named Executive Officers’ interests with those of our stockholders through long-term equity-based awards, including PRSUs tied to relative market stock price performance and achievement of ambitious earnings growth targets.

Consistent with the forgoing, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers for 2023 was primarily driven by the aggressive financial performance objectives and strategic milestones which resulted in a below target payout under our EIP as well as the impact of our stock price performance and earnings growth on our long-term equity-based awards.

2023 Executive Compensation Program – Emphasis on “Pay for Performance”

As illustrated below, the target total direct compensation (defined below) of our Named Executive Officers in 2023 was weighted heavily towards performance-based compensation:

| • |  | Approximately 96% of our Chief Executive Officer’s target total direct compensation and approximately 92% of the average target total direct compensation of our other Named Executive Officers (excluding Mr. Kumar) was delivered in the form of variable or “at risk” compensation tied to company, individual, or stock price performance;

| • |  | Long-term equity awards (the ultimate value of which depend on our stock price) continued to be the largest element of compensation, representing approximately 87% of our Chief Executive Officer’s target total direct compensation and approximately 81% of the average target total direct compensation of our other Named Executive Officers (excluding Mr. Kumar); and

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

| • |  | 100% of the target annual incentive bonuses payable to our Named Executive Officers (excluding Mr. Kumar) was tied to the achievement of pre-established financial and strategic milestone goals for the 2023 fiscal year that aligned with our annual operating plan.

As used herein, a Named Executive Officer’s “target total direct compensation” is the sum of his or her base salary, target annual incentive bonus opportunity under our EIP, and the aggregate intended target value of long-term equity awards granted under our equity plans in fiscal 2023 (but excluding, for Mr. Norrod, his promotion retention equity award, and, for Ms. Hu and Mr. Guido, their “make-whole” equity awards, “make-whole” cash bonuses, and sign-on equity awards). The aggregate intended target values of our long-term equity awards differ from the accounting values (grant date fair value) that are included in the “2023 Summary Compensation Table” and “Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2023” tables below on pages 69 and 73).

Response to 2023 “Say On Pay” Vote and Stockholder Engagement Process

The Compensation Committee seeks to align the objectives of our executive compensation program with the interests of our stockholders. When evaluating our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee carefully considers both the results of our annual advisory resolution on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (the “say on pay” proposal) as well as direct feedback from our stockholders, with whom we actively and directly engage throughout the fiscal year. At our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, our “say on pay” proposal received support from approximately 86% of the votes cast on the proposal, reflecting widespread stockholder support for our fiscal 2022 executive compensation program. As we evaluated our compensation practices for fiscal 2023, we were mindful of the strong support our stockholders expressed for our program and ultimately decided to retain the overall design of our executive compensation program.

During fiscal 2023, we continued our practice of proactive stockholder engagement regarding executive compensation, ESG, and other corporate governance matters. We do not rely solely on the proxy season as our active stockholder engagement season, instead we prefer to actively and directly engage with stockholders throughout the fiscal year. After filing and disseminating our definitive proxy statement for our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, we conducted conference calls, in-person and virtual meetings, or other types of engagements with several of our top 100 institutional stockholders (and approximately 40% of the shares of common stock entitled to vote at our annual meeting) to solicit feedback on AMD, including their views on our executive compensation structure and pay policies and practices.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

In summary, stockholder feedback centered on the following themes:

| • |  | In the aggregate, feedback received during these discussions continued to be supportive of our executive compensation program and our compensation program design, and we received feedback that AMD has a well-functioning incentive program which appropriately promotes and rewards strong long-term performance.

| • |  | We shared stockholder feedback with the Compensation Committee, which considers both the results of our say-on-pay vote as well as direct feedback from stockholders to align the objectives of our executive compensation program with the interests of our stockholders. As we evaluated our compensation practices for 2023, the Compensation Committee considered the strong support we received from our stockholders for the overall design of our executive compensation program during our 2023 engagement as well as in the past.

| • |  | After considering the stockholder feedback, the Compensation Committee maintained the overall program design, which it believes emphasizes pay-for-performance, provides market-competitive compensation, and appropriately incentivizes our Named Executive Officers to deliver long-term sustainable stockholder value creation without encouraging excessive risk-taking.

Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

We implement sound executive compensation policies and practices, which we believe drive superior performance and prohibit or minimize behaviors that we believe do not serve our stockholders’ long-term interests, as highlighted in the below table:

Policy/Practice |  | Summary
Clawback/Recovery Rights |  | In November 2023, we adopted a compensation recovery (“clawback”) policy in compliance with the listing standards of Nasdaq pursuant to which we are required to recover certain incentive-based compensation received by our executive officers as a result of achieving financial performance goals that are not met under any restated financial results. In addition, we have the right to recoup incentive-based and other compensation (including both time and performance-based equity awards) paid or granted to an employee (including any Named Executive Officer) in the event of certain misconduct by the employee (see our “Compensation Recovery (“Clawback”) Rights” section below).
One-year minimum vesting period for equity awards |  | Our equity plans (i.e., our 2023 Plan, 2004 Plan, and the Xilinx 2007 Plan) require a minimum one-year vesting period with respect to at least 95% of awards issued thereunder, subject to limited exceptions such as death, disability, termination of employment or a change of control of AMD.
Change of control payments are “double-trigger” and capped |  | Our change of control agreements are “double-trigger”, meaning payments will be made only if there is an involuntary termination of employment without cause or constructive discharge following a change of control. Further, since March 2010 we have not and will not enter into change of control agreements that provide cash change of control payments that exceed (i) two times the sum of base salary and target annual incentive bonus plus (ii) the pro-rated target annual incentive bonus for the year in which the termination of employment occurs.
No new excise tax gross-ups |  | Since April 2009, we have not and will not enter into any change of control agreement or arrangement with a Named Executive Officer that provides for an excise tax gross-up payment.
Limited perquisites |  | We provide limited perquisites or other personal benefits to our Named Executive Officers and generally provide air and other travel for our Named Executive Officers for business purposes only. Our policy provides for the use of the Company aircraft by our Chief Executive Officer for business flights. Our other Named Executive Officers may use the Company aircraft for approved business flights when a commercial flight would not be more feasible or practical.
Anti-hedging and pledging policy |  | We prohibit our employees (including our Named Executive Officers and Directors) from hedging AMD securities. Pledging of AMD securities is not permitted without the preapproval of the Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board which is only granted in very limited circumstances. None of our Named Executive Officers or Directors currently have pledged any shares.
Incentive compensation amounts are subject to payment thresholds and maximums |  | Our annual cash performance bonuses and 2023 annual PRSU awards have aggressive and challenging performance requirements that must be achieved to receive target payment and are subject to maximum potential payment in relation to the target award.
Stock ownership requirements |  | We have robust stock ownership requirements for our Chief Executive Officer and other Named Executive Officers.
Compensation risk assessment |  | The Compensation Committee conducts an annual risk assessment of our compensation policies and practices to ensure that our programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Pay for Performance

Our executive compensation program philosophy centers on pay for performance and is guided by the following primary principles:

Principle |  | Description
Business Driven |  | Compensation should align to performance; rewards should directly tie to achievement of specific financial, operational and strategic objectives that generally lead to increased and sustained stockholder value.
Performance Differentiated |  | Compensation program design should create an effective link between pay and performance at both the company and individual level. With improved company performance and increases in company valuation and stock price, our compensation programs should deliver higher rewards to our Named Executive Officers.
Market Competitive |  | Compensation should be competitive to attract, retain and motivate high-caliber senior leadership.
Ownership Oriented |  | Incentives should be fully aligned with stockholder interests by delivering meaningful equity awards tied to and balanced with stockholder value creation supported by maintaining robust stock ownership requirements.

We continually assess and adjust our executive compensation program, policies and practices taking into account these guiding principles and based on feedback obtained through our stockholder engagement efforts.

Talent Management Focus

The Compensation Committee places a strong emphasis on developing, motivating, retaining, and attracting talent that is critical to guide and execute our strategy as well as to continue to grow our business. Our executive compensation program aligns with our talent objectives and our compensation decisions not only consider individual and company performance, but also long-term potential, key retention goals and organizational succession plans.

As required by its charter, the Compensation Committee regularly reviews succession planning and talent development. The Compensation Committee at least annually reviews succession plans for the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executive positions. These reviews occur with input from the Chief Executive Officer, our Senior Vice President, Marketing, Communications and Human Resources, and our Chief Human Resources Officer. The Compensation Committee also reviews succession plans in executive session, with no members of management present. Succession planning for key executive roles consists of an assessment of internal candidates and their development plans, as well as potential external talent, while factoring in our culture and an emphasis on diversity and inclusion.

We believe that building a diverse talent pipeline, encouraging a culture of respect and belonging, and increasing inclusion of unique and underrepresented voices makes AMD stronger. We are committed to hiring and developing under-represented groups and women leaders. In 2023, we increased focus on developing our female engineering community by launching an experiential program, “Advancing Women in Technology,” that aims to support career development. For additional information on our diversity, belonging and inclusion efforts, see our “Environmental, Social and Governance” section beginning on page 28.

Competitive Compensation

We operate in a highly competitive business environment; therefore, it is imperative that we recruit and retain top leadership and industry experts to guide and execute our business strategy. This requires that we offer competitive compensation. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee seeks to compensate our Named Executive Officers at competitive levels with compensation for executives in similar positions at a group of peer companies (set

forth below), which the Compensation Committee believes reflects the current competitive market for executive talent. In making its compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee also considers a number of other factors, including the scope of responsibility of each Named Executive Officer, internal pay comparisons and the retention value of each Named Executive Officer’s unvested long-term equity award holdings, as well as its assessment of each Named Executive Officer’s performance and expected future contributions and impact on the organization.

Align Pay Practices with Sound Risk Management

The Compensation Committee seeks to structure our executive compensation program to motivate and reward our Named Executive Officers for appropriately balancing opportunity and risk, such as investment in key initiatives designed to advance our growth in existing and new markets while at the same time avoiding pay practices that encourage excessive risk-taking.

The Compensation Committee believes that our executive compensation program fosters our objectives while mitigating potentially excessive risk-taking through the following means:

Sound Risk Management
✓ |  | Compensation is an appropriate balance of fixed pay versus variable pay, as well as short-term versus long-term incentives
✓ |  | Performance-based compensation opportunities are capped
✓ |  | Our annual incentive plans include multiple company-wide financial and strategic goals that are quantitative and measurable
✓ |  | Long-term equity awards are a balanced mix of time-based and performance-based vesting, both spanning multiple years
✓ |  | Long-term equity awards generally have a minimum vesting period of one year
✓ |  | Compensation is subject to recoupment (i.e., clawback) policies and provisions
✓ |  | Our Named Executive Officers are subject to rigorous stock ownership requirements

How We Make Compensation Decisions

Role of the Compensation Committee and our Board

The Compensation Committee is responsible to our Board for developing and overseeing our executive compensation and benefits policies and programs. The Compensation Committee, which consists of four independent directors, is responsible for reviewing our executive compensation program annually to evaluate its alignment with the strategies and needs of our business, market trends and the interests of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee is responsible for formulating compensation recommendations to the non-management members of our Board regarding our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation and for approving the compensation of our other Named Executive Officers. This includes:

| • |  | reviewing and approving the performance goals and objectives that relate to performance-based compensation awarded under the EIP and our equity plans;

| • |  | conducting an annual compensation risk assessment to evaluate our compensation policies and practices;

| • |  | evaluating the competitiveness of each Named Executive Officer’s total compensation package; and

| • |  | reviewing and approving any changes to a Named Executive Officer’s total compensation package, such as base salary, annual incentive bonus opportunities, annual long-term incentive award opportunities, and payouts and retention programs.

The non-management members of our Board annually conduct a performance assessment of our Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee reviews and considers this performance assessment in making its recommendations to the non-management members of our Board regarding the compensation and other terms of our Chief Executive Officer’s employment. Our Chief Executive Officer does not participate in the determination of her own compensation and no management recommendation is made regarding her compensation.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage independent advisors to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. During 2023, the Compensation Committee retained Compensia as its compensation consultant to provide assistance on executive and director compensation matters. Compensia advised the Compensation Committee on a variety of compensation-related matters, including:

| • |  | the competitiveness of our executive compensation program by providing a market review of executive compensation and relevant trends, evaluating our compensation peer group composition and analyzing the compensation at our compensation peer group companies;

| • |  | the pay levels of our Named Executive Officers by assessing and advising on equity and cash compensation guidelines for various executive job levels and assessing compensation levels for our executive officers;

| • |  | our executive compensation program design, including short-term and long-term incentive plan design and pay mix, the framework for our long-term equity awards and our retention strategies, evaluation of our stock ownership guidelines, and assessment of severance and change of control arrangements;

| • |  | the effectiveness of our Employee Stock Purchase Plan by benchmarking the salient provisions of similar plans within our compensation peer group; and

| • |  | the compensation arrangements for the non-management members of our Board.

Conflict of Interest Assessment for Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee recognizes the importance of receiving objective advice from its compensation consultant and conducts an annual conflicts of interest assessment of its compensation consultant. In 2023, Compensia did not provide any services to or receive any payments from us, except in its capacity as a consultant to the Compensation Committee. In March 2024, the Compensation Committee considered whether the services provided by Compensia raised any conflicts of interest pursuant to the rules of the SEC and the listing rules of Nasdaq and concluded that the work performed by Compensia did not raise any conflicts of interest.

In the course of its engagement, Compensia attended meetings of the Compensation Committee and, where applicable, presented its findings and recommendations for discussion. Compensia also consulted frequently with members of the Compensation Committee and met with members of senior management to obtain and validate market data, review materials, and discuss management’s compensation recommendations.

Role of Management

The Compensation Committee is supported by our Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to her own compensation) and other members of management. The Compensation Committee considers the input of these individuals to formulate the specific plan and award designs, including performance measures and performance levels, necessary to align our executive compensation program with our business objectives and strategies. These individuals did not attend either executive sessions or portions of any meetings of the Compensation Committee or our Board where their own compensation was discussed or determined. During the Compensation Committee’s annual review of executive compensation, our Chief Executive Officer reviews with the Compensation Committee her performance evaluations of each of our other Named Executive Officers and her compensation recommendations for those Named Executive Officers.

Competitive Pay Analysis

Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews the compensation decisions of a custom group of peer companies in combination with industry-specific compensation survey data to develop an understanding of the “competitive market” with respect to current executive compensation levels and related policies and practices. The Compensation Committee then evaluates how our pay practices and our Named Executive Officers’ compensation levels compared to the competitive market. As part of this evaluation, the Compensation Committee also reviews the performance measures and related performance target levels generally used within the competitive market to reward performance. The Compensation Committee believes that it appropriately sets the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, while taking into account the practices of our peers and industry best practices.

Methodology Used to Perform the Competitive Pay Analysis

To assist the Compensation Committee in its review of the 2022 compensation for our Named Executive Officers, Compensia provided a competitive pay analysis in February 2022 that set forth compensation data developed from publicly available information, as of December 2021, of the companies included in a custom peer group (the “2022 Executive Compensation Peer Group”). In May 2022, Compensia provided the Compensation Committee an updated competitive pay analysis that reflected AMD’s and peer group financial data as of April 14, 2022, and updated AMD’s 30-day average stock price as of that date.

To develop the 2022 Executive Compensation Peer Group, the Compensation Committee reviewed the group of companies comprising the then-existing compensation peer group in November 2021, with particular reference to their industry (i.e., business segment and key competitors), revenues (generally 50% to 200% of our revenues for the trailing four fiscal quarters) and market capitalization (generally 30% to 300% of our market capitalization), in each case based on publicly available information as of October 26, 2021. The Compensation Committee selected these latter two metrics because, based on Compensia’s analysis and holding all other factors constant, revenue has the greatest correlation to cash compensation levels and market capitalization has the greatest influence on equity compensation levels.

Based on this review, the Compensation Committee removed Skyworks Solutions, Inc. because it was below the target range for both revenue and market capitalization, and removed Xilinx, Inc. because it was below the target range for revenue, at the lower end of the target range for market capitalization, and was then pending acquisition by AMD (which was subsequently completed on February 14, 2022). Also based on this review, and in order to improve the statistical sampling of the peer group, the Compensation Committee added Adobe Inc. and Intuit Inc., each of which fit within the applicable criteria and is included in competitive benchmark sets for other high profile semiconductor companies. Our revenues for the trailing four fiscal quarters ended December 25, 2021, would have placed us in approximately the 52nd percentile of the 2022 Executive Compensation Peer Group based on publicly available information. The Compensation Committee believes that the composition of the 2022 Executive Compensation Peer Group reflects an appropriate set of comparator companies for purposes of assessing our executive compensation program.

The Compensation Committee used the 2022 Executive Compensation Peer Group competitive pay analysis developed by Compensia as its reference source in analyzing the competitiveness of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation. As compared to the 2022 Executive Compensation Peer Group, AMD’s fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 annual revenue was approximately $23.6 billion and $16.4 billion, respectively. To assist the Compensation Committee in its review of the 2023 compensation for our Named Executive Officers, Compensia provided a competitive pay analysis in February 2023 that set forth compensation data developed from publicly available information, as of December 2022, of the companies included in a custom peer group (the “2023 Executive Compensation Peer Group”). In May 2023, Compensia provided the Compensation Committee an updated competitive pay analysis that reflected AMD’s and peer group financial data as of May 2, 2023, and updated AMD’s 30-day average stock price as of that date.

To develop the 2023 Executive Compensation Peer Group, the Compensation Committee reviewed the group of companies comprising the then-existing compensation peer group in November 2022, with particular reference to their industry (i.e., business segment and key competitors), revenues (generally 50% to 200% of our revenues for the trailing four fiscal quarters) and market capitalization (generally 30% to 300% of our market capitalization), in each case based on publicly available information as of October 19, 2022. The Compensation Committee selected these latter two metrics because, based on Compensia’s analysis and holding all other factors constant, revenue has the greatest correlation to cash compensation levels and market capitalization has the greatest influence on equity compensation levels.

Based on this review, the Compensation Committee decided to retain the composition of the 2022 Executive Compensation Peer Group and, to increase the robustness of peer group size and align AMD closer to median for revenue and market capitalization, to add Cisco Systems, Inc., Oracle Corporation, and Salesforce, Inc. to the 2023 Executive Compensation Peer Group. Each of these three companies is included in competitive benchmark sets for other high profile semiconductor companies and satisfied the revenue and/or market capitalization criteria based on publicly available information as of October 19, 2022.

Our revenues for the trailing four fiscal quarters ended September 24, 2022, would have placed us in approximately the 57th percentile of the 2023 Executive Compensation Peer Group based on publicly available information. Our market capitalization would have placed us in approximately the 55th percentile of the 2023 Executive Compensation Peer Group, based on the 30-day average market capitalization of AMD and each peer group company as of October 19, 2022. The following illustrates how our revenue and market capitalization as of October 19, 2022 compared to the median of the 2023 Executive Compensation Peer Group:

(3) | Mr. Norrod was promoted to Executive Vice President and General Manager, Data Center Solutions Group effective January 2, 2023, at which time his base salary was increased to $680,000 (from $640,000). His base salary was further increased effective July 1, 2023, to $710,000.

(4) | Mr. Kumar retired from AMD in April 2023.

Annual Cash Performance Bonuses

Generally, short-term incentives in the form of an annual cash performance bonus are provided to our Named Executive Officers under the EIP. These bonuses are designed to reward short-term performance and the achievement of the principal goals of our annual operating plan. Each Named Executive Officers’ target bonus opportunity is a percentage of their base salary and is determined based on the competitive pay analysis conducted by the Compensation Committee as described above. For fiscal 2023, the target bonus opportunity was 200% of base salary for our CEO, which was unchanged from fiscal 2022, and 125% of base salary for the other Named Executive Officers, which was unchanged from fiscal 2022 for Messrs. Peng and Kumar. Mr. Kumar retired from AMD in April 2023 and did not receive a bonus under the EIP for fiscal 2023. In connection with Mr. Norrod’s promotion to Executive Vice President and General Manager, Data Center Solutions Group, the Compensation Committee increased his target bonus opportunity to 125% of base salary (from 100% of base salary) effective January 2, 2023. Ms. Hu and Mr. Guido joined AMD in January 23, 2023, and June 5, 2023, respectively, and their target bonus opportunities under the EIP for fiscal 2023 were set at 125% of base salary pursuant to the terms of their individually negotiated offer letters, prorated for the portion of calendar 2023 commencing on their start dates.

Under the fiscal 2023 EIP, the amount of the annual cash performance bonus for each Named Executive Officer, other than Mr. Kumar, was calculated based on (i) his or her target bonus opportunity, (ii) our corporate financial performance (weighted 80%) for fiscal 2023, as measured against pre-established performance levels (the “Financial Performance Targets”) for the first half of fiscal 2023 (weighted 40%) and the second half of fiscal 2023

(weighted 60%),and (iii) achievement of strategic milestones (weighted 20%) established with respect to key engineering, business, commercial/operational, and sales and culture metrics (the “Strategic Milestones”).

Financial Performance Targets for the first half of fiscal 2023 and the Strategic Milestones were approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2023. The Financial Performance Targets for the second half of fiscal 2023 were approved by the Compensation Committee in August 2023. In addition to assessing achievement of the fiscal 2023 performance goals, the Compensation Committee also performs an annual qualitative assessment of each NEO’s individual performance. This assessment results in determination of an individual performance factor for each named executive that can increase or decrease his or her final EIP payout.

Financial Performance Targets

The Compensation Committee used the following financial performance measures and weightings as the Financial Performance Targets for the fiscal 2023 EIP:

Financial Measure |  | Weighting
Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Income |  | 50%
Net Revenue |  | 40%
Adjusted Free Cash Flow |  | 10%

The Compensation Committee chose adjusted non-GAAP net income as a performance measure because it is a fair measure of our profitability and a valid metric for comparison, which the Compensation Committee believes is directly tied to enhanced stock price performance. The Compensation Committee assigned it a weight of 50% because it is a key short-term financial measure for the operation of our business and is a measure of significant importance to our stockholders. For purposes of the fiscal 2023 EIP, our “adjusted non-GAAP net income” was calculated by adjusting our fiscal 2023 GAAP net income for (i) non-GAAP financial adjustments such as gains/losses on equity investments (net), stock-based compensation, equity income in investee, acquisition-related and other costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and provision for income taxes associated with these adjustments and (ii) amounts accrued for fiscal 2023 annual cash performance bonuses. GAAP reconciliation of our adjusted non-GAAP net income may be found in our Form 10-K filed January 31, 2024.

The Compensation Committee chose GAAP net revenue as a performance measure because it reflects our top-line growth, which the Compensation Committee believes is a strong indicator of our long-term ability to increase profitability, cash flow and improve stock price performance.

Finally, the Compensation Committee chose adjusted free cash flow as a performance measure because it believes effective cash management and cash generation are key components of our strategy and our annual operating plan, the successful execution of which should lower indebtedness, increase financial flexibility and ultimately drive improved company valuation and stock price performance. For purposes of the fiscal 2023 EIP, our “adjusted free cash flow” was calculated by adjusting our GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for (i) purchases of property and equipment and (ii) cash payments for fiscal 2022 bonuses which were paid in March and April 2023.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

The following illustrates how the 2023 annual cash performance bonuses under the EIP were calculated:

The performance levels (threshold, target and maximum) for the first half and second half of fiscal 2023 financial performance measures were established by the Compensation Committee in February 2023 and August 2023, respectively, in each case in consultation with senior management. The performance levels were structured using our 2023 operating plan as a benchmark to align with our financial objectives for the fiscal periods, taking into account overall affordability of the bonus opportunities provided under the EIP for fiscal 2023.

These targets were determined by the Compensation Committee to be appropriately aggressive. The threshold and maximum levels for each financial measure was determined by the Compensation Committee to provide for appropriate payout above or below target. For each performance measure, the level of performance required increases at a fixed rate between each performance level.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Strategic Milestones

For the Strategic Milestones, which account for 20% of the EIP Performance Factor (subject to possible adjustment as described above), the Compensation Committee selected (a) new product tape outs and launches tied to specified internal targeted delivery dates, (b) achievement of various commercial/operations milestones, and (c) workforce strategic objectives. Each of the specific Strategic Milestones is highly confidential information so we try to balance that with giving our stockholders transparency. Providing our specific milestones would give competitors a greater sense of our internal goals, milestones, strategy, and timelines. Disclosure would allow our competitors to adjust their own strategy in a way that would cause us irreparable competitive harm in the highly competitive semiconductor industry. When approved, the Compensation Committee believed that each Strategic Milestone was challenging, yet reasonably achievable.

Based on our performance relative to the Financial Performance Targets and Strategic Milestones, the fiscal 2023 EIP reached 59.7% achievement.

Individual Performance Factor

For fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee reviewed individual performance based on achievement of objective measures and goals in the areas of execution, leadership, and innovation/strategic planning (the “Individual Performance Factor”). At the end of fiscal 2023, our Chief Executive Officer assessed each Named Executive Officer’s performance, except her own, and made bonus recommendations to the Compensation Committee for each of them. The Compensation Committee then considered the Chief Executive Officer’s individual performance reviews and bonus recommendations, and independently assessed the Company’s performance and the individual performance of the Chief Executive Officer and each of the other Named Executive Officers to determine the Individual Performance Factor. After consideration of the factors above, the Compensation Committee determined to award each Named Executive Officer an Individual Performance Factor of 1.0 to reflect the leadership and continued execution that contributed to the Company delivering strong performance across all businesses, including record annual revenue in 2023.

Based on its assessment of each of these factors and considering the Company’s strong performance relative to our aggressive Financial Performance Targets and Strategic Milestones and the challenging macro environment, the Compensation Committee approved fiscal 2023 annual cash performance bonuses under the EIP for the Named Executive Officers as set forth below:

|  | 2023 EIP Bonus Calculation
Named Executive Officer |  | Eligible Base Salary |  | Target Bonus Opportunity |  | EIP Performance Factor |  |  | Individual Performance Factor |  | EIP Bonus(1)
Lisa Su |  | $ | 1,200,000 |  |  |  | 200% |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1.0 |  | $ | 1,432,800 |
Jean Hu(2) |  | $ | 680,694 |  |  |  | 125% |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1.0 |  | $ | 507,968 |
Victor Peng |  | $ | 915,000 |  |  |  | 125% |  |  |  | 59.7% |  |  | 1.0 |  | $ | 682,819 |
Philip Guido(3) |  | $ | 414,286 |  |  |  | 125% |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1.0 |  | $ | 309,161 |
Forrest Norrod |  | $ | 695,000 |  |  |  | 125% |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1.0 |  | $ | 518,644 |

(1) | The amounts reported in this column reflect the bonus amounts approved by the Compensation Committee and paid to the Named Executive Officers.

(2) | Ms. Hu commenced participation in the EIP effective January 23, 2023. Her eligible base salary during calendar 2023 was prorated from January 23, 2023.

(3) | Mr. Guido commenced participation in the EIP effective June 5, 2023. His eligible base salary during calendar 2023 was prorated from June 5, 2023.

The Compensation Committee reviews and certifies the level of achievement for each performance measure before any payments are made. This review and certification are generally performed at the first regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meeting following the end of the year with any payout of the annual cash performance bonus occurring in March of such year.

Long-Term Equity Awards

We believe that long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards provide a strong alignment between the interests of our Named Executive Officers and our stockholders. The Compensation Committee generally

60 |  | ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.|2024 Proxy Statement

##### Table of Contents

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

seeks to provide equity award opportunities that are consistent with our compensation philosophy (with the potential for larger PRSU payments and stock price appreciation for exceptional performance). The Compensation Committee also believes that utilizing time-based equity incentives for a portion of our long-term equity awards is essential in promoting executive retention.

2023 Annual Equity Awards

On July 5, 2023, the Compensation Committee and, in Dr. Su’s case, the non-management members of our Board, approved the following aggregate intended target values and annual equity awards under our 2023 Plan, each of which was granted to the listed Named Executive Officer on August 9, 2023:

Named Executive Officer |  | PRSUs (Target # of Shares) |  | Time-Based RSUs |  | Time-Based Stock Options |  | Aggregate Intended Target Value(1)
Lisa Su |  |  | 158,562 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 106,474 |  |  | $ | 24,000,000 |
Jean Hu(2) |  |  | 39,640 |  |  |  | 13,213 |  |  |  | 26,618 |  |  | $ | 7,500,000 |
Victor Peng |  |  | 52,854 |  |  |  | 17,618 |  |  |  | 35,491 |  |  | $ | 10,000,000 |
Philip Guido(3) |  |  | 31,712 |  |  |  | 10,570 |  |  |  | 21,294 |  |  | $ | 6,000,000 |
Forrest Norrod(4) |  |  | 34,355 |  |  |  | 11,451 |  |  |  | 23,069 |  |  | $ | 6,500,000 |

(1) | Amounts reflect intended target value as approved in July 2023. The amounts reported in the 2023 Summary Compensation Table represent the grant date fair values (i.e., accounting values) of these awards computed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718.

(2) | Amounts shown for Ms. Hu do not include the “make-whole” equity award of 92,360 time-based RSUs or the sign-on equity award of 65,971 time-based RSUs and 65,971 PRSUs that were granted to Ms. Hu on February 15, 2023, pursuant to the terms of her offer letter. For a discussion of Ms. Hu’s offer letter, see “Executive Summary—2023 Chief Financial Officer New Hire Package” above.

(3) | Amounts shown for Mr. Guido do not include the “make-whole” equity award of 33,971 time-based RSUs or the sign-on equity award of 22,482 time-based RSUs that were granted to Mr. Guido on July 10, 2023, pursuant to the terms of his offer letter. For a discussion of Mr. Guido’s offer letter, see “Executive Summary—2023 Chief Commercial Officer New Hire Package” above.

(4) | Amounts shown for Mr. Norrod do not include his promotion retention equity award of 32,985 PRSUs and 32,985 time-based RSUs, which was granted on February 15, 2023, in connection with his promotion as our Executive Vice President and General Manager, Data Center Solutions Group. For a discussion of Mr. Norrod’s promotion retention equity award, see “Executive Summary—2023 Executive Vice President Promotion” above.

As reflected in the table above, the aggregate intended target value of Dr. Su’s 2023 annual long-term equity award was converted into a mix of 75% PRSUs and 25% stock options using a conversion price of $113.52 (i.e., the average closing price of our common stock over the 30 trading-day period ending on August 9, 2023, the 2023 annual program’s grant date) (the “Conversion Price”), and, for the stock options, also using an additional factor of 49.64% that correlates to the Black-Scholes value we use for accounting purposes. For Ms. Hu and Messrs. Peng, Norrod and Guido, their respective aggregate intended target values were converted into a mix of 60% PRSUs, 20% time-based RSUs and 20% stock options the Conversion Price and, for the stock options, also using an additional factor of 49.64% that correlates to the Black-Scholes value we use for accounting purposes.

The accounting values of these awards differ from the aggregate intended target values reported in the table above for various reasons, including: (a) the grant date closing price of our common stock (which is used in determining the accounting values) was lower than the Conversion Price, and (b) each target PRSU has an accounting value that is approximately 124.73% of the fair market value of the underlying share of our common stock.

In approving the aggregate intended target value of each Named Executive Officer’s 2023 annual long-term equity award, the Compensation Committee (the non-management members of our Board for Dr. Su) reviewed data showing the market-competitive award levels based on the 2023 Executive Compensation Peer Group, the potential realizable value of each Named Executive Officer’s then-outstanding equity holdings, and the projected accounting cost of the awards based on information available as of July 5, 2023. Additionally, the Compensation Committee (the non-management members of our Board for Dr. Su) considered the potential realizable value of each Named Executive Officer’s then-outstanding equity holdings, our executive retention objectives and continuity within senior management and the following high-level corporate goals: achieve fiscal 2023 financial results, execute industry-leading roadmap and

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

meet customer commitments. The achievement of these high-level goals drive our overall company business strategy and, correspondingly, the attainment of the performance objectives in our long-term incentive compensation program.

2023 Annual PRSU Awards.The 2023 annual PRSU awards (the “2023 Annual PRSUs”) provide for a payout that will range from 0% to 250% of the target number of shares of our common stock subject to the award. The actual number of shares earned by each Named Executive Officer will be calculated as follows:

| • |  | Each Named Executive Officer will earn between 0% and 200% of his or her target number of shares (the “Initial Earned Shares”) depending on the return on our stock price relative to the total shareholder return of the S&P 500 Index over the period (Performance Period) beginning August 9, 2023 and ending August 9, 2026 (or, if earlier, the date of a change of control), provided that if the absolute return on our stock price during the Performance Period is negative, the Initial Earned Shares is capped at 100% of the target number of shares.

| • |  | In alignment with our long-term growth strategy, we used EPS growth as an upside modifier to the award. If we meet or exceed challenging pre-established non-GAAP EPS growth targets from our 2023 to our 2025 fiscal year, award payouts will be increased to 125% or 150% of each Named Executive Officer’s Initial Earned Shares (if applicable, the “Adjusted Earned Shares”). In no event, however, will the Named Executive Officer’s Adjusted Earned Shares exceed 250% of his or her target number of shares.

Any PRSUs that are earned will generally be settled on the later of August 15, 2026, or the date following the Compensation Committee’s certification of our performance achievement. Each Named Executive Officer must be continuously employed through the last day of the Performance Period to receive his or her earned shares, except to the extent an event triggers accelerated vesting of the 2023 Annual PRSUs under the terms of his or her employment or other agreement, as applicable.

Stock Options. Stock options are intended to align the interests of our Named Executive Officers with the interests of our stockholders because they will not realize any financial benefit from these awards unless our stock price increases above the exercise price over the seven-year option term. The stock options have an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date, which was $110.47 per share. The stock options vest (and become exercisable) as to one-fourth of the underlying shares on each of August 9, 2024, August 9, 2025, August 9, 2026 and August 9, 2027, subject to the Named Executive Officer’s continued employment with us through each vesting date (unless his or her employment agreement or other agreement with us provides otherwise). The service-based vesting requirements are intended to further our retention objectives. The stock options expire seven years after the grant date, subject to earlier expiration if the Named Executive Officer’s employment with us terminates.

RSUs. RSUs are intended to encourage executive retention, manage share dilution, recognize individual performance and align the interests of our Named Executive Officers with our stockholders because the value of the awards is tied to the market value of our common stock at the time of vesting. All of the RSUs granted to our Named Executive Officers in 2023 vest as to one-fourth of the underlying shares on each of August 9, 2024, August 9, 2025, August 9, 2026 and August 9, 2027, subject to the Named Executive Officer’s continued employment with us through each vesting date (unless his or her employment agreement or other agreement with us provides otherwise).

2020 PRSUs – Performance Results

The annual PRSUs that were granted to each of our Named Executive Officers (other than Ms. Hu and Messrs. Peng and Guido) on August 9, 2020 (the “2020 PRSUs”) became earned and settled in August 2023 at 250% of target (i.e., maximum performance achievement). The Compensation Committee certified achievement at 250% of target as a result of our (a) total shareholder return exceeding the total shareholder return of the S&P 500 Index by more than 50 percentage points over the three-year performance period that began August 9, 2020 and ended August 9, 2023, and (b) achievement of fiscal 2022 non-GAAP earnings per share (“Non-GAAP EPS”) of $3.50, which represented a greater than 30% compound annual growth rate in our non-GAAP earnings per share from our fiscal 2020 Non-GAAP EPS of $1.29.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Grant Timing Practices

We have no practice or policy of coordinating or timing the release of the Company information around the grant date of our annual long-term equity awards. Our annual long-term equity awards are typically granted in July or August. On occasion, we grant equity awards outside of our annual grant cycle for new hires, promotions, recognition, retention or other purposes. These “off cycle” awards are granted only on a limited basis.

Deferred Compensation

In 2023, our U.S.-based Named Executive Officers were eligible to participate in our Deferred Income Account Plan (the “DIA Plan”). Participation in the DIA Plan is intended to assist our Named Executive Officers in their retirement planning as well as to restore company contributions that are lost due to IRS limits applicable to contributions in our Section 401(k) plan. The Compensation Committee believes the opportunity to defer compensation is a competitive benefit that enhances our ability to attract and retain talented executives while building plan participants’ long-term commitment to AMD. Dr. Su, Ms. Hu and Messrs. Guido and Kumar participated in the DIA Plan in 2023. For further information about the DIA Plan, see the “2023 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table below.

Health, Welfare and Other Personal Benefits (Perquisites)

In 2023, a broad population of our U.S. employees, including our Named Executive Officers, were eligible to receive the following health and welfare benefits:

| • |  | participation in our U.S. benefit programs, including our Section 401(k) plan, health care coverage, paid time-off and paid holidays;

| • |  | matching contributions under our Section 401(k) plan, which were equal to 75% of an employee’s annual contribution, up to the first 6% of compensation deferred under the plan, subject to IRS limits; and

| • |  | patent awards, if earned.

In addition to the above, our Named Executive Officers were eligible to receive an annual physical examination and executive life insurance. In limited circumstances, we may occasionally provide meals and allow spouses or guests to accompany a Named Executive Officer traveling for a business-related purpose and pay for other incidental expenses. Our policy provides for the use of the Company aircraft by senior management for approved travel. The health, welfare and other personal benefits described above are intended to be part of a competitive overall compensation program and help attract and retain executive talent. For further information regarding the health, welfare, perquisites and other personal benefits received by our Named Executive Officers during 2023, see the “2023 Summary Compensation Table” below.

Change of Control Agreements and Arrangements

Our Chief Executive Officer has an employment agreement that establishes her base salary and provides for annual incentive and long-term incentive awards under our approved plans (i.e., the EIP, 2023 Plan, and 2004 Plan). In addition, the agreement provides for certain payments and benefits in the event of certain termination of employment scenarios, including following a change of control of AMD. For further information on this agreement, see the “Severance and Change in Control Arrangements” section beginning on page 77.

With the exception of our Chief Executive Officer, each of our other Named Executive Officers is party to a change of control agreement with us. These agreements and the change-of-control provisions of Dr. Su’s employment agreement are designed to encourage the continued services of the covered Named Executive Officer in the event of a potential change of control of AMD and to allow for a smooth leadership transition upon such a change of control. In addition, these agreements and the change-in-control provisions in Dr. Su’s employment agreement are intended to provide incentives to the Named Executive Officer to effectively execute the directives of our Board, even in the event that such actions may result in the elimination of the Named Executive Officer’s position.

In April 2009, AMD adopted a policy to not enter into any new change of control agreements or arrangements containing an excise tax gross-up provision. Our Named Executive Officers’ change of control agreements and the change-of-control provisions of Dr. Su’s employment agreement do not provide for excise tax gross-ups.

ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.|2024 Proxy Statement |  | 63

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Termination of Employment Required to Trigger Payments

Under the terms and conditions of these change of control agreements and the change-of-control provisions of Dr. Su’s employment agreement, each of our Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Kumar) is eligible to receive certain specified payments and benefits only if (a) a “change of control” of us occurs and (b) the Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated or the Named Executive Officer is constructively discharged within two years of the change of control transaction (a “double trigger” arrangement). The Compensation Committee believes this structure strikes a balance between our incentive arrangements and our executive hiring and retention objectives without providing “windfall” payments and benefits to any Named Executive Officers who continue employment with an acquiring entity following a change of control of AMD.

For a detailed description of these agreements and arrangements with our Named Executive Officers, as well as an estimate of the amounts payable under such agreements and arrangements as of the last day of fiscal 2023, see the “Severance and Change in Control Arrangements” section.

Severance and Separation Arrangements

Any post-employment compensation payable to our Chief Executive Officer is governed solely by her employment agreement, the terms of which were the result of arms-length negotiations between her and the Compensation Committee. Under her employment agreement, Dr. Su is eligible to receive certain specified payments and benefits in the event that her employment is involuntarily terminated. The Compensation Committee believes that the amount payable to Dr. Su pursuant to her employment agreement is reasonable and competitive and provides transition assistance in the event of her involuntary termination of employment, with the goal of keeping her focused on our business rather than her personal circumstances.

With the exception of our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Kumar, all of our other Named Executive Officers participate in our Executive Severance Plan for Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents (the “Executive Severance Plan”). The Executive Severance Plan is designed to provide uniform treatment in the event of an involuntary termination of employment of our U.S. senior executives (except our Chief Executive Officer) and to provide transition assistance in such instances with the goal of keeping these senior executives focused on our business rather than their personal circumstances. A Named Executive Officer is not eligible to receive payments and benefits under the Executive Severance Plan if he or she receives severance payments and benefits in connection with a change of control of AMD pursuant to his or her change of control agreement. The Compensation Committee believes that the Executive Severance Plan provides the covered executives important protections and promotes our objectives of attracting and retaining executive talent.

For a detailed description of the post-employment compensation arrangements of our Named Executive Officers, as well as an estimate of the amounts payable under such arrangements as of the last day of fiscal 2023, see the “Severance and Change in Control Arrangements” section.

Devinder Kumar’s Retirement Transition Agreement and General Release

Mr. Kumar announced his retirement as our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer on January 8, 2023. In order to ensure a smooth transition and to recognize Mr. Kumar’s significant contributions over his almost 40-year tenure with AMD, we entered into a Retirement Transition Agreement and General Release with him on February 15, 2023 (the “Retirement Transition Agreement”). Mr. Kumar remained with us as an executive officer and employee until his retirement on April 14, 2023. We do not have a retirement policy that is generally applicable to long-term equity awards. However, in certain limited circumstances, such as for long-tenured, dedicated employees like Mr. Kumar who have had an exceptional impact on the Company over the course of their tenure, the Compensation Committee may provide for retirement treatment of equity awards on a case-by-case basis.

Pursuant to the Retirement Transition Agreement, in connection with his termination of employment Mr. Kumar received:

| • |  | Twelve (12) months of accelerated vesting with respect to his outstanding unvested RSUs and stock options, and Mr. Kumar’s outstanding stock options continue to be exercisable by him until the earlier of the second anniversary of his termination date or the option expiration date;

| • |  | Deemed satisfaction of the service vesting conditions applicable to his 2020 PRSU award, with the number of PRSUs to be earned determined based on actual performance for the three-year performance period ended August 9, 2023;

| • |  | Deemed satisfaction of the service and performance vesting conditions with respect to a number of PRSUs covered by each of his 2021 and 2022 PRSU awards equal to the target number of PRSUs covered by the awards, prorated based on his separation date relative to the three (3)-year performance periods applicable to the awards; and

| • |  | Payment for COBRA premiums for up to twelve (12) months following his separation, based on his coverage elections as of his separation date.

In consideration of the separation benefits payable under the Retirement Transition Agreement, Mr. Kumar released us from all claims and liabilities under federal and state laws arising prior to his separation date.

Other Compensation Policies

Compensation Recovery (“Clawback”) Rights

In November 2023, we adopted a compensation recovery (“clawback”) policy in compliance with the listing standards of Nasdaq. In the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. securities law, the policy provides that we will recoup compensation from each current or former executive officer who, during the three-year period preceding the date on which a restatement is required, received compensation from incentive awards based on the erroneous financial data that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation the executive would have received based on the restatement. The Compensation Committee has sole discretion to determine how to seek recovery under the policy and may forgo recovery if it determines that recovery would be impracticable and either the cost of recovery would exceed the amount sought to be recovered, or that recovery would violate a home-country law that was adopted prior to November 28, 2022, or would cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan broadly available to our employees to fail to meet applicable tax qualification requirements.

In addition, our Worldwide Standards of Business Conduct provide that we may pursue all remedies available under applicable law to recover any incentive-based or other compensation (including equity awards) paid or granted to our employees or agents in the event of such individual’s direct involvement with fraud, misconduct or gross negligence which contributes to an accounting restatement as a result of our material noncompliance with any financial reporting laws.

Finally, the award agreement for each stock option, RSU, and PRSU granted since May 2010 to an employee at or above the level of senior vice president (which includes our Named Executive Officers) has included a compensation recoupment (“clawback”) provision. The clawback provides the Compensation Committee with the right to recover all or a portion of the compensation attributable to the award if the employee’s direct involvement with fraud, misconduct or his or her gross negligence contributes to or results in us being required to prepare an accounting restatement as a result of our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws. The clawback does not apply to any award granted more than 18 months before the date of the first public issuance or SEC filing of the financial document embodying the reporting requirement. In addition, (a) with respect to awards granted in and after August 2015, we may recoup the award if the recipient violates the non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality terms of the award agreement as permitted under applicable law, or fails to comply with any agreement with us regarding inventions, intellectual property rights, or proprietary information or material, and (b) with respect to awards granted after May 2019, we may recoup the award if the recipient engages in certain workplace misconduct (including sexual harassment or age, sex or other prohibited discrimination) or a criminal act involving moral turpitude. The Compensation Committee may exercise these clawback rights by cancellation, forfeiture, repayment or disgorgement of any profits realized by the employee from the sale of our securities.

Stock Ownership Requirements

Our stock ownership requirements are designed to increase our Named Executive Officers’ stakes in us and to align their interests more closely with those of our stockholders.

ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.|2024 Proxy Statement |  | 65

These requirements provide that on or before the Ownership Achievement Date (as defined below), our Chief Executive Officer should attain an investment position in our common stock equal to the lesser of (a) six times her then-current annual base salary or (b) 125,000 shares, and our other Named Executive Officers should attain an investment position in our common stock equal to the lesser of (x) 2.5 times their then-current annual base salaries or (y) 30,000 shares.

Shares of our common stock counted toward the minimum stock ownership requirements include any shares held directly or indirectly by a Named Executive Officer.

The “Ownership Achievement Date” is the later of August 7, 2025, or five years from first appointment as an executive officer. Until the guideline is achieved, each Named Executive Officer is encouraged to retain at least 10% of the net shares obtained through our stock incentive plans. For this purpose, the “net shares” are the number of shares received from the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock or RSU awards, less the number of shares the Named Executive Officer sells to cover the exercise price of stock options or sells or has withheld to pay taxes.

As of December 30, 2023, each of our Named Executive Officers had satisfied his or her applicable stock ownership requirement or has time remaining to do so.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) generally disallows public companies a tax deduction for federal income tax purposes of remuneration in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers. While the Compensation Committee may consider the deductibility of awards as one factor in determining our executive compensation, it also considers other factors in making its executive compensation decisions and retains the flexibility to grant awards or pay compensation the Compensation Committee determines to be consistent with its goals for our executive compensation program, even if the awards may not be deductible for tax purposes.

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

RISK ANALYSIS OF OUR COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES

In March 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed our compensation policies and practices for employees generally and concluded that these policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

In reaching this conclusion, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of management, assessed our executive and broad-based compensation and benefits programs to determine if any of them created undesired or excessive risks of a material nature. The assessment included (i) a review of our compensation policies and practices for employees generally, (ii) identification of the risks that could result from such policies and practices, (iii) identification of the risk mitigators and controls, and (iv) analysis of the potential risks against the risk mitigators and controls and our business strategy and objectives. Although the Compensation Committee reviewed our compensation programs, the Compensation Committee focused on the programs that have variability of payout and in which employees could directly affect the payout of incentives. These programs included the EIP, Annual Incentive Plan, Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTI”), Sales Incentive Plan and 2023 Plan.

In performing the assessment and reaching its conclusion, the Compensation Committee noted the following factors that the Compensation Committee believes may reduce the likelihood of undesired or excessive risk-taking:

| • |  | Our overall compensation levels are competitive with the market;

| • |  | Our compensation practices and policies appropriately balance base pay versus variable pay and short-term versus long-term incentives;

| • |  | Although the EIP, Annual Incentive Plan, LTI and Sales Incentive Plan have variability of payout, the Compensation Committee believes that any potential risks associated with such plans are controlled or mitigated by one or more of the following: (i) the performance goals being multi-dimensional (i.e., adjusted non-GAAP net income, adjusted non-GAAP free cash flow, revenue), thereby increasing the range of performance over which incentives are paid; (ii) the performance goals being aligned with our business objectives and being quantitative financial measures; (iii) the use of sliding payout scales, with the payouts in certain instances being linearly interpolated for performance falling between the performance levels set by the Compensation Committee; (iv) the ability of the Compensation Committee and/or management to exercise discretion to reduce payouts; (v) the existence of multiple internal controls and approval processes that are intended to prevent manipulation of outcomes by any employee, including the Named Executive Officers; and (vi) the incentive opportunities being capped;

| • |  | Although the grant of equity awards under the 2023 Plan could motivate our employees to, among other things, focus on increasing our short-term stock price rather than the creation of long-term stockholder value, the Compensation Committee believes that potential risks are controlled or mitigated by one or more of the following: (i) awarding a combination of PRSUs, RSUs and stock options; (ii) three-year vesting and performance period for PRSUs (with the exception of the Value Creation Equity Awards granted in fiscal 2019, which have a five-year performance period); (iii) the vesting provisions of stock options and RSUs occurring over multi-year periods, (iv) caps on performance-based compensation opportunities; and (v) our stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers. In addition, we prohibit our employees, including Named Executive Officers, from engaging in hedging transactions in our securities; and

| • |  | We have implemented clawback provisions and policies, as described in more detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

(1) | For fiscal 2023, amounts represent (i) a one-time sign-on bonus payment of $2,000,000 for Ms. Hu and (ii) a one-time sign-on bonus payment of $3,000,000 for Mr. Guido. For a discussion of Ms. Hu’s and Mr. Guido’s offer letters, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Summary—2023 Chief Financial Officer New Hire Package” and “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Summary—2023 Chief Commercial Officer New Hire Package.” For fiscal 2022, amount represents a one-time sign-on bonus payment of $4,750,000 for Mr. Peng in connection with the acquisition of Xilinx, Inc.

(2) | Amounts shown in the column do not reflect dollar amounts actually received by the Named Executive Officers. Instead, these amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs and PRSUs granted in the year indicated computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The grant date fair value (which is sometimes referred to herein as the “accounting value”) is used to recognize the accounting expense for long-term equity awards. For fiscal 2023, the amounts shown include the grant date fair value of the PRSUs awarded in fiscal 2023 to each Named Executive Officer other than Mr. Kumar, as set forth in the table below. The grant date fair value of the PRSUs is calculated by an outside professional valuation consultant using a Monte-Carlo simulation model and based upon a discounted cash flow analysis of the probability-weighted payoffs of a share-based payment assuming a variety of possible stock price paths and represents the estimate of the most probable aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the requisite service period determined as of the grant date under ASC Topic 718. There were no stock awards to Mr. Kumar during fiscal 2023. The amount reported for Mr. Kumar for fiscal 2023 represents the incremental fair value, determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718, associated with (i) the twelve months of vesting service credit in respect of his outstanding unvested RSUs as of his retirement, (ii) service vesting credit with respect to his 2020 PRSUs, and (iii) pro-rated vesting at target-level performance for Mr. Kumar’s 2021 PRSUs and 2022 PRSUs, in each case pursuant to the terms of his Retirement Transition Agreement. For a discussion of the assumptions made in the valuations reflected in this column, see Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report. For more information on the RSUs and PRSUs held by Mr. Kumar during fiscal 2023, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Severance and Separation Arrangements—Devinder Kumar’s Retirement Transition Agreement and General Release” above.

(5) | Amounts reflect the grant date fair value of the respective award computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Regardless of the value on the grant date, the actual value that may be realized from an award is contingent upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions to vesting of that award, and for stock options, also upon the excess of AMD’s stock price over the exercise price. With respect to the PRSUs, in accordance with SEC rules, amounts reflect the fair value at the grant date determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model and based upon a discounted cash flow analysis of the probability-weighted payoffs of a share-based payment assuming a variety of possible stock price paths and represents the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the requisite service period determined as of the grant date under ASC Topic 718. For Mr. Kumar, the amount reflects the incremental fair value, determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718, associated with the

2023 NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

The following table shows information for the Named Executive Officers who had accounts in the Deferred Income Account Plan (the “DIA”), a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, in 2023. Except for amounts deferred and vested prior to January 1, 2005, the DIA is subject to Section 409A of the Code.

(1) | Amount is included in the “Salary” column for fiscal 2023 of the “2023 Summary Compensation Table” above.

(2) | Represents the net amounts debited from the DIA accounts of Dr. Su, Ms. Hu and Messrs. Kumar and Guido as a result of the performance of the investment vehicles in which their accounts were deemed invested, as more fully described in the narrative disclosure below. These amounts do not represent above-market or preferential earnings (within the meaning of 17 CFR Section 229.402(c)(2)(viii)), and as a result are not reported in the “2023 Summary Compensation Table” above.

(3) | Other than executive contributions in the fiscal year, no other aggregate amounts were reported as compensation for the Named Executive Officers in 2023, 2022 and 2021.

We maintain the DIA, which allows eligible employees, including the Named Executive Officers, to voluntarily defer receipt of a portion of their salary, bonus and any commission payments until the date or dates selected by the participant. Participants may defer up to 50% of annual base salary and/or 100% of commissions and bonuses. Earnings on the deferred accounts are based on the performance of the investment funds selected by the participants. Participants make a deferral election, prior to the year in which the compensation is earned, that may not be terminated or changed during the year for which it was made. Generally, we make a discretionary contribution to the participant’s account if his or her annual base salary, minus his or her Section 401(k) contribution before the deferral, is greater than the annual compensation limit for Section 401(k) plans. The contribution, if any, is equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the deferred compensation credited to the participant’s account for the year or (ii) a discretionary percentage of the participant’s base salary in excess of the eligible Section 401(k) compensation limit for the year minus the participant’s Section 401(k) contributions. For 2023, our discretionary contribution percentage under option (ii) above was 4.5%. Participants are 100% vested in the value of their accounts. Participants may select their desired benchmark investment fund(s) in which their accounts are deemed to be invested and may change their investment elections at any time, with such change effective as of the next business day. The amount of investment gain or loss that is credited to the participant’s account depends on the participant’s investment election. For 2023, we utilized investment funds in an array of asset classes, substantially aligned to those offered under our Section 401(k) plan. We have placed assets in mutual funds held in a Rabbi trust established for the DIA. For 2023, the investment return credited to Dr. Su’s, Ms. Hu’s, Mr. Guido’s and Mr. Kumar’s DIA accounts was 16.0%, 14.6%, 7.4% and 24.7%, respectively, based on their investment elections for their respective DIA accounts. This investment return was calculated by taking the aggregate gain or loss in fiscal 2023 and dividing it by the aggregate balance as of the beginning of fiscal 2023.

The DIA accounts are distributed following a participant’s termination of employment with us unless the participant has elected an in-service withdrawal (scheduled or hardship withdrawal). At the time a participant makes his or her deferral election, he or she may elect a different form of distribution for such year’s deferred compensation. The participant may elect a single lump sum distribution or annual installment distributions over three to ten years. The default form of distribution is a single lump sum. A participant may change the form of distribution election, subject to the terms of the DIA.

A participant may elect to withdraw all or part of his or her account while employed by us, subject to the terms of the DIA. The in-service withdrawal date must be at least two years after the plan year in which the election was made. An in-service withdrawal date may be changed, subject to the terms of the DIA. An unscheduled payment may also be made, subject to the terms of the DIA.

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

We have entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Su, our current Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Ms. Hu and Messrs. Peng, Guido and Norrod participate in the Executive Severance Plan and have each entered into a change in control agreement with us.

The Executive Severance Plan and change in control agreements are designed to (i) implement a uniform process for handling potential future involuntary departures of the Named Executive Officers, and (ii) encourage the Named Executive Officers’ continued services in the event of a potential change in control of us and to allow for a smooth transition upon such a change in control. In addition, these arrangements are intended to provide incentives to the Named Executive Officers to effectively execute the directives of our Board, even in the event that such actions may result in the elimination of a Named Executive Officer’s position. Under the terms of the change in control agreements, a Named Executive Officer is eligible to receive certain specified compensatory payments and benefits only if (i) a “change in control” occurs, and (ii) the Named Executive Officer’s employment is involuntarily terminated or the Named Executive Officer is constructively discharged, in each case within two years of that change in control.

Dr. Su’s Employment Agreement. Pursuant to Dr. Su’s at-will employment agreement which sets forth Dr. Su’s duties and obligations as our President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Su Employment Agreement”), Dr. Su’s employment may be terminated by (i) us for Cause (as defined in the Su Employment Agreement), (ii) Dr. Su’s Involuntary Termination Without Cause (as defined in the Su Employment Agreement), (iii) Dr. Su’s Constructive Termination (as defined in the Su Employment Agreement), (iv) Dr. Su’s voluntary election to terminate her employment with us, or (v) Dr. Su’s death or disability.

Except as otherwise described in the next paragraph, in the event of Dr. Su’s Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Constructive Termination, subject to Dr. Su’s execution of a full release of claims, which remains effective, following such termination:

| • |  | Dr. Su will be credited with an additional 12 months of service for purposes of calculating the service-based vesting of any then-unvested equity awards. Any performance-based equity award for which the service-based vesting condition has been satisfied as of the date of termination will continue in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement and will be earned or forfeited based on actual performance for the applicable performance period. The settlement of any earned performance-based equity award will occur at such time as such performance-based equity award would have been settled had Dr. Su continued her employment with us;

| • |  | We will make a lump-sum cash payment to Dr. Su in an amount equal to two times her then base salary;

| • |  | We will pay Dr. Su the pro-rata amount of her annual bonus accrued under the EIP, based on actual performance for the year of termination and paid at the time annual bonuses are paid to other executives; and

| • |  | We will, for 24 months following the date of termination, pay Dr. Su an amount equal to the COBRA premium for continuation coverage for herself and her dependents (if applicable) under our group medical and dental plans on a monthly basis.

In the event of Dr. Su’s Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Constructive Termination between the public announcement of a transaction that results in our Change of Control (as defined in the Su Employment Agreement) and 24 months after such Change of Control, subject to Dr. Su’s execution of a full release of claims, which remains effective, following such termination:

| • |  | We will pay Dr. Su her earned but unpaid base salary through the date of termination and all other amounts to which Dr. Su is entitled under any of our compensation plans or practices on the date of termination;

| • |  | All unvested equity awards then held by Dr. Su will accelerate and be deemed fully vested, and all such equity awards then-outstanding that are subject to performance-based vesting condition, other than Dr. Su’s Value Creation Equity Award, will be deemed achieved at the target levels set forth in the applicable award agreement;

| • |  | We will make a lump-sum cash payment to Dr. Su in an amount equal to two times her base salary plus two times her target annual bonus, in each case at the rate in effect immediately before the date of termination or, if higher, the rate in effect six months before the date of termination;

ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.|2024 Proxy Statement |  | 77

##### Table of Contents

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Severance and Change in Control Arrangements (continued)

| • |  | We will pay Dr. Su the pro-rata amount of her annual bonus accrued under the EIP assuming performance at target levels for the portion of the year prior to the date of termination; and

| • |  | We will, for 24 months following the date of termination, pay Dr. Su an amount equal to the COBRA premium for continuation coverage for herself and her dependents (if applicable) under our group medical and dental plans on a monthly basis. In addition, we will pay Dr. Su $4,000 per month for 12 months following the date of termination for financial planning and tax planning services.

Under the terms of the Su Employment Agreement, upon a termination of employment in connection with a change in control, Dr. Su’s severance payments and benefits will be made in full or as to such lesser amount as would result in no portion of the payments being subject to an excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (relating to Section 280G of the Code), whichever of the foregoing amounts is greater on an after-tax basis (i.e., a parachute payment cut-back).

Executive Severance Plan for Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents. With the exception of Dr. Su, all of the Named Executive Officers participated in the Executive Severance Plan as of the end of 2023.

Under the terms of the Executive Severance Plan, any participant who (i) is involuntarily terminated other than for cause (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) or as a result of death or disability (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) and (ii) is not offered a job with one of our affiliates or a successor of us, will be entitled to the following benefits, subject to the participant’s execution of a full release of claims, which remains effective, following such termination:

| • |  | We will make a lump-sum cash payment to the participant in an amount equal to 12 months of base salary;

| • |  | We will, for 12 months following the date of termination, pay COBRA premiums for continuation coverage under our group medical and dental plans; and

| • |  | We will allow participants to use our Employee Assistance Plan for up to 12 months.

Additionally, we will seek reimbursement on a pro-rata basis, of severance benefits if we re-employ a participant during the 12 months following receipt of a severance payment under the Executive Severance Plan. Under the terms of his offer letter with us, if Mr. Peng is eligible to receive severance under the Executive Severance Plan he will also receive accelerated vesting of a prorated portion of his outstanding unvested time-based equity awards based on the number of days of service completed by Mr. Peng during the applicable vesting period.

The Executive Severance Plan is intended to represent the exclusive severance benefits payable to a participant by us. Accordingly, any participant who is entitled to receive severance benefits payable in connection with a change of control pursuant to a change in control agreement may not also receive severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan. In other words, a participant may not collect severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan if he or she receives benefits under a change in control agreement with us.

Although we expect to maintain the Executive Severance Plan indefinitely, we may amend, modify or terminate the Executive Severance Plan at any time. Therefore, severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan are not guaranteed and may be eliminated in the future. The form of release agreement used under our Executive Severance Plan includes a customary non-disparagement agreement and a one-year employee non-solicitation agreement.

Change in Control Agreements.Ms. Hu and Messrs. Peng, Guido and Norrod were each covered by a change in control agreement as of the end of 2023. These change in control agreements are designed to encourage their continued services in the event of a change in control, which generally means any of the following events:

| • |  | the acquisition by any person representing more than 50% of our then outstanding shares of stock or the combined voting power of our voting securities;

| • |  | a change of the majority of the Board during any two consecutive years, unless certain Board approval conditions are met;

| • |  | a merger or consolidation of us into any other corporation, where immediately after the merger or consolidation 50% or less of the combined voting power is held by holders of our voting securities immediately before such merger or consolidation; or

| • |  | the stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation or there is a consummated a sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Severance and Change in Control Arrangements (continued)

The change in control agreements provide that, if within two years after a change in control, the Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated by us without cause or they are constructively discharged, the Named Executive Officer will receive:

| • |  | a lump sum severance benefit equal to the sum of two times the executive’s rate of annual base compensation at the rate in effect immediately before the date of termination or, if higher, the rate in effect six months before the date of the change in control, plus two times the target annual bonus in the year of termination;

| • |  | all unvested equity will vest and be exercisable, and options may be exercised for the period of one year from the date of termination or the original option term, whatever is shorter;

| • |  | payment of the executive’s prorated accrued bonus assuming performance at target levels for the portion of the year prior to the date of termination;

| • |  | reimbursement of personal financial and tax planning up to $4,000 for twelve months following the date of termination; and

| • |  | 12 months’ continued health and welfare benefits comparable to those in effect at termination and a gross-up for any income taxes due as a result of the payment by us for such health and welfare benefits.

The payments and benefits pursuant to the change in control agreements are subject to the executive’s execution of a release of claims. Further, upon a termination of employment in connection with a change in control, the executive’s severance payments and benefits will be made in full or as to such lesser amount as would result in no portion of the payments being subject to an excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (relating to Section 280G of the Code), whichever of the foregoing amounts is greater on an after-tax basis (i.e., a parachute payment cut-back).

Executive Incentive Plan.Our EIP generally requires that participants be employed on the date of payment of the award. If a participant’s employment ends before the date of payment of the award other than due to the participant’s involuntary employment termination for misconduct (as defined the EIP), the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay an award to the participant for the portion of the performance period that the participant was employed, calculated as determined by the Compensation Committee.

AMD Policies.In April 2009, we adopted a policy to, in general, not enter into any new change in control agreements or arrangements containing an excise tax gross-up provision. Dr. Su’s change in control agreement does not provide for an excise tax gross-up.

In March 2010, we also adopted a policy to not enter into any new change in control agreement or arrangement with any executive officer that provides for a cash severance payment (upon both our change in control and a subsequent termination of employment) in excess of (i) two times the sum of the respective executive officer’s base salary and annual target bonus, plus (ii) a prorated annual target bonus for the year in which the termination of employment occurs. Dr. Su’s employment agreement and the change in control agreements comply with this limitation.

Vesting of Equity Awards.

Change in Control. All RSUs and stock options granted under our equity incentive plans become fully vested (i) if our successor refuses to assume or substitute similar awards for outstanding awards, upon a change in control, or (ii) if our successor assumes or substitutes similar awards for outstanding awards and the participant’s employment is terminated by our successor for any reason (other than for misconduct) or by the participant due to a constructive termination within one year following a change in control, upon such termination of employment. All PRSUs vest to the extent the applicable performance criteria were achieved. Upon a change in control, the Compensation Committee shall determine and approve the Company’s performance with respect to the applicable performance vesting conditions as of the effective date of the change in control and the participant will be deemed to have earned that number of PRSUs, which will be converted automatically into an equal number of RSUs that will vest as of the first to occur of (i) the one-year anniversary of the change in control or (ii) the last day of the originally scheduled performance period. All remaining unearned PRSUs will be automatically forfeited without consideration. If the participant’s employment or service with the Company is involuntarily terminated for any reason (other than misconduct) after a change in control, then all such converted RSUs will become fully vested as of the date of termination.

2024 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Severance and Change in Control Arrangements (continued)

Death. If a participant’s status as a service provider terminates due to his or her death, the participant will become fully vested in any unvested outstanding RSUs or stock options granted to the participant after May 2020. In such event, the participant’s estate or legal representative may exercise any outstanding vested stock options for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of death (or, if earlier, until the expiration date of the stock option).

With respect to PRSUs granted after May 2020 and before August 2023, if a participant ceases to be a service provider due to his or her death, the participant’s PRSUs will remain outstanding and, at the end of the applicable performance period, will be deemed earned and vested based on the actual performance results for the performance period. For PRSUs granted in or after August 2023, if a participant ceases to be a service provider due to his or her death, the participant will immediately vest in the “target” number of PRSUs.

Disability.If a participant’s status as a service provider terminates due to his or her disability, the participant will automatically vest in any stock options that would have vested if the participant had remained in employment until the end of the calendar year in which the participant ceased to be a service provider. In such event, the participant or his or her legal representative may exercise any outstanding vested stock options for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of termination (or, if earlier, until the expiration date of the stock option).

Dr. Su’s Value Creation Equity Award.In August 2019, Dr. Su received a PRSU award for a target number of 775,194 shares (the “CEO Value Creation Award”), with the number of earned shares ranging from 0% to 200% of such target based on achievement of stock price performance milestones during the five-year performance period ending August 9, 2024. Any shares earned under the CEO Value Creation Award based on achievement of a stock price performance milestone on or before the third anniversary of the grant date of the CEO Value Creation Award will vest 50% on August 9, 2022, and 50% on August 9, 2024. The CEO Value Creation Award was earned at 200% achievement before the third anniversary of the grant date and, accordingly, Dr. Su vested in 50% of the earned shares on August 9, 2022, and the remaining 50% of the earned shares are scheduled to vest on August 9, 2024. If Dr. Su incurs a “covered termination” (as defined in her employment agreement) any time between August 9, 2023, and August 9, 2024, she will immediately vest in the remaining earned shares covered by the CEO Value Creation Award.

Victor Peng Assumed Xilinx Equity Awards. Pursuant to AMD’s acquisition of Xilinx, we agreed to accelerate vesting of any portion of Mr. Peng’s Xilinx equity awards that were assumed by AMD and that would have accelerated upon Mr. Peng’s resignation for “good reason” under his Xilinx employment agreement. The portion of any assumed Xilinx equity awards that did not accelerate pursuant to the offer letter will remain subject to the applicable vesting and other terms and conditions.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control. The following table presents the amount of compensation and benefits payable to Dr. Su under her employment agreement in the event of (i) an involuntary termination without cause or a constructive termination (without a change in control), (ii) an involuntary termination without cause or a constructive termination immediately following the consummation of a change in control and (iii) a separation due to death. As required by SEC rules, the amounts shown assume that the termination or death was effective as of December 30, 2023, exclude amounts earned through that time and are estimates of the amounts that would be paid out to Dr. Su. In the event of Dr. Su’s termination due to disability, she would be entitled to receive only (x) accelerated vesting of any unvested stock options that are otherwise scheduled to vest in the calendar year of termination (which stock options may be exercised for twelve (12) months following termination (or until the expiration date of the stock option, if earlier)) and (y) any amount under the EIP that the Compensation Committee determines, in its discretion, to award Dr. Su for the fiscal year in which her termination occurs. Accordingly, in the event of Dr. Su’s disability termination, the value she would receive in respect of the accelerated vesting of her unvested stock options as of December 30, 2023, that are otherwise scheduled to vest on or before December 30, 2024, is $4,283,211. For this purpose and for purposes of the below calculations, the value of each share of our common stock underlying an option, RSU or PRSU is assumed to be $147.41, the last reported sales price of our common stock on December 29, 2023, the last trading day of our fiscal 2023.

(1) | Amount represents two times Dr. Su’s base salary of $1,200,000.

(2) | Amount represents two times Dr. Su’s base salary of $1,200,000, plus two times her target annual bonus ($2,400,000) as of December 30, 2023.

(3) | Amount represents the pro-rata amount of her annual bonus accrued under the EIP based on actual 2023 performance for the portion of the year prior to the date of termination.

(4) | Amount represents the pro-rata amount of her annual bonus accrued under the EIP assuming performance at target levels for the portion of the year prior to the date of termination.

(5) | Amount represents the pro-rata amount of Dr. Su’s annual bonus accrued under the EIP for the portion of the year prior to the date of termination. Amount shown assumes the Compensation Committee exercises its discretion under the EIP to pay Dr. Su’s pro-rated EIP bonus for 2023 based on actual performance as of December 30, 2023.

(6) | Amounts represents the value of unvested stock options outstanding as of December 30, 2023 that would have vested during the 12-month period after her termination. The value reported for each stock option is the excess of the aggregate value of the underlying shares over the aggregate exercise price of the stock option.

(7) | Amounts shown reflect the value of stock option acceleration in the event of, as applicable, Dr. Su’s death or the occurrence of a change in control whereby our successor refuses to assume or substitute similar awards for outstanding stock options. The value reported for each stock option is the excess of the aggregate value of the underlying shares over the aggregate exercise price of the stock option.

(8) | Amount reflects the value of unvested RSUs and PRSUs outstanding as of December 30, 2023, in each case that would have vested during the 12-month period after her termination. The number of PRSUs payable reflects achievement as of December 30, 2023, of the CEO Value Creation Award at 200% of target and the 2021 annual PRSU award at 161% of target. The actual number of PRSUs payable under the 2021 annual PRSU award could be lower and will not be known until August 9, 2024, the last day of the performance period.

(9) | Amount reflects the value of all unvested RSUs and PRSUs outstanding as of December 30, 2023, that would become vested upon Dr. Su’s qualifying termination immediately following the consummation of a change in control. The number of PRSUs payable reflects achievement as of December 30, 2023, at the following levels: 2021 annual PRSU award (161% of target), CEO Value Creation Equity Award (200% of target), 2022 annual PRSU award (136% of Target), and 2023 annual PRSU award (103% of target). Upon the occurrence of a change in control, the PRSUs convert into a number of time-based RSUs determined based on achievement as of the date of the change in control. These time-based RSUs would immediately vest upon Dr. Su’s qualifying termination immediately following the change in control.

(10) | Amount reflects the value of all unvested RSUs and PRSUs outstanding as of December 30, 2023, that would become vested upon Dr. Su’s death. The number of PRSUs payable assumes achievement as of December 30, 2023, at the following levels: 2021 annual PRSU award (161% of target) and 2022 annual PRSU award (136% of Target). The target number of shares under 2023 annual PRSU award would become vested upon Dr. Su’s death.

(11) | Amount represents our cost of paying COBRA premiums on behalf of Dr. Su and her dependents for 24 months following her termination based on rates for a current employee.

(12) | Pursuant to our Executive Life Insurance Benefit Plan, amount reflects a life insurance payout equal to three times Dr. Su’s base salary of $1,200,000, subject to a maximum of $3,000,000.

(13) | Pursuant to Dr. Su’s employment agreement, she is entitled to $4,000 per month in financial planning for a 12-month period following termination.

(14) | In the event that the severance and other benefits provided would be subject to excise taxes imposed by Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, such amount will either be delivered in full or reduced so as not to be subject to excise taxation, whichever amount is higher, pursuant to the terms of Dr. Su’s Employment Agreement.

The following table presents the amount that would be payable to Ms. Hu and Messrs. Peng, Guido and Norrod (i) under the Executive Severance Plan (as supplemented, in the case of Mr. Peng, by his offer letter) assuming an involuntary termination of employment without cause outside of a change in control, (ii) under their respective change

in control agreements, in each case assuming a termination of employment without cause or a constructive discharge that occurred within 24 months of a change in control, and (iii) in the event of a separation due to death. As required by SEC rules, the amounts shown assume that such termination or death was effective as of December 30, 2023, exclude amounts earned through that time and are estimates of the amounts that would be paid out to the Named Executive Officers. In the event of each Named Executive Officer’s termination due to disability, the Named Executive Officer would be entitled to receive only (x) accelerated vesting of any unvested stock options that are otherwise scheduled to vest in the calendar year of termination (which stock options may be exercised for twelve (12) months following termination (or until the expiration date of the stock option, if earlier)) and (y) any amount under the EIP that the Compensation Committee determines, in its discretion, to award to the Named Executive Officer for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs. Accordingly, the value Ms. Hu and Messrs. Peng, Guido and Norrod would receive upon a disability termination in respect of the accelerated vesting of their unvested stock options as of December 30, 2023, that are otherwise scheduled to vest on or before December 30, 2024, is $245,863, $1,056,023, $196,667, and $876,578, respectively. For this purpose and for purposes of the below calculations, the value of each share of our common stock underlying an option, RSU or PRSU is assumed to be $147.41, the last reported sales price of our common stock on December 29, 2023, the last trading day of our fiscal 2023.

Severance and Change in Control Arrangements (continued)

(10) | Under the Executive Severance Plan, the value of the health and welfare benefit following an involuntary termination is equal to 12 months of COBRA medical, dental and/or vision insurance premiums, based on the participant’s benefits plan elections in effect at the time of termination, and use of the employee assistance plan provided by us as part of the 12 months of COBRA coverage.

(11) | Amount reflects our annual cost of paying COBRA premiums on behalf of Ms. Hu and Messrs. Peng, Guido and Norrod for 12 months following termination based on the rates of a current employee. Also includes gross-ups for income taxes in the amounts of $5,998, $20,817, $14,599, and $17,530 due by Ms. Hu and Messrs. Peng, Guido and Norrod, respectively, as a result of our payment of health and welfare benefits on their behalf.

(12) | Pursuant to our Executive Life Insurance Benefit Plan, amount reflects a life insurance payout equal to three times the Named Executive Officer’s base salary, which is $725,000 for Ms. Hu, $915,000 for Mr. Peng, $725,000 for Mr. Guido, and $775,000 for Mr. Norrod, subject to a maximum of $3,000,000.

(13) | In the event that the severance and other benefits provided would be subject to excise taxes imposed by Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, such amount will either be delivered in full or reduced so as not to be subject to excise taxation, whichever amount is higher, pursuant to the terms of our Change in Control Agreement.

(14) | Amount represents the value of all unvested time-based RSUs and stock options outstanding as of December 30, 2023, that would become vested upon Mr. Peng’s involuntary termination other than for cause (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) or as a result of death or disability (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan). Under the terms of his offer letter with us, if Mr. Peng becomes eligible for severance under the Executive Severance Plan he will receive accelerated vesting, on a prorated basis, of all outstanding time-based equity awards. Prorated vesting is based on the number of days during the applicable vesting period that Mr. Peng is employed by us.

(15) | If Mr. Guido’s employment with us terminates on or before July 5, 2024, for any reason other than due to a company- or department-wide reduction-in-force, he is required to repay 100% of his $3 million cash sign-on bonus. If such termination occurs after July 5, 2024, and before July 5, 2025, his repayment obligation is reduced by 8.33% for each full month completed after February 23, 2024.

Devinder Kumar Retirement

Mr. Kumar retired from us on April 14, 2023. Because Mr. Kumar’s separation from us was a retirement, he did not receive benefits under our Executive Severance Plan. AMD does not have a retirement policy that is generally applicable to long-term equity awards. However, in certain limited circumstances, such as for long-tenured, dedicated employees like Mr. Kumar who have had an exceptional impact on AMD over the course of their tenure, the Compensation Committee may provide for retirement treatment of equity awards on a case-by-case basis. Accordingly, we entered into a Retirement Transition Agreement and General Release with him on February 15, 2023 (the “Retirement Transition Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Retirement Transition Agreement, in connection with his retirement Mr. Kumar received:

| • |  | Twelve (12) months of accelerated vesting with respect to his outstanding unvested RSUs and stock options, and Mr. Kumar’s outstanding stock options continue to be exercisable by him until the earlier of the second anniversary of his termination date or the option expiration date;

| • |  | Deemed satisfaction of the service vesting conditions applicable to his 2020 PRSU award, with the number of PRSUs to be earned determined based on actual performance for the three-year performance period ended August 9, 2023;

| • |  | Deemed satisfaction of the service and performance vesting conditions with respect to a number of PRSUs covered by each of his 2021 and 2022 PRSU awards equal to the target number of PRSUs covered by the awards, prorated based on his separation date relative to the three (3)-year performance periods applicable to the awards; and

| • |  | Payment for COBRA premiums for up to twelve (12) months following his separation, based on his coverage elections as of his separation date.

The aggregate value to Mr. Kumar resulting from the acceleration of his equity awards using $87.57 per share, the last reported sales price of our common stock on April 24, 2023, the date on which Mr. Kumar’s release became binding and irrevocable and his equity awards became vested, was $7,382,293. The aggregate value of Mr. Kumar’s COBRA reimbursement benefit under his Retirement Transition Agreement is estimated to be $16,276, which assumes reimbursement of 12 months of COBRA continuation coverage. In consideration of the separation benefits payable under the Retirement Transition Agreement, Mr. Kumar released us from all claims and liabilities under federal and state laws arising prior to his separation date.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PAY RATIO

For 2023:

| • |  | the annual total compensation for the median employee of the Company (other than our Chief Executive Officer) was $127,642; and

| • |  | the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer was $30,348,281(1).

Based on this information, for 2023 the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer to the annual total compensation of the median employee was 238 to 1. This ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As permitted by SEC rules, to identify our median employee, we selected total estimated compensation which we calculated as annual base pay plus the target bonus plus the target value of stock awards granted to each employee during the year, as the compensation measure to be used to compare the total estimated compensation of our employees as of December 1, 2023. We annualized base pay and estimated bonus for any regular employees who commenced work during 2023 and did not annualize these amounts for temporary and seasonal employees. The annual total compensation of the median employee and the annual total compensation of the CEO were calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, and the median employee’s annual total compensation was converted to U.S. dollars using a currency exchange rate as of December 30, 2023. In addition, as permitted by SEC rules, we have omitted from our calculation approximately 75 employees who became employees as a result of our acquisition of Mipsology and Nod.AI.

Compensation Actually Paid |  | $ | 189,834,854 |  |  | $ | 33,308,296 |

| For purposes of the foregoing adjustments, the value of equity awards was determined as follows: (i) for RSUs, the closing price of our common stock on the fiscal year-end date, or, in the case of vesting RSUs, the closing price of our common stock on the applicable vesting date; (ii) for stock options, a Black Scholes value as of year-end or the vesting date(s), as applicable, determined based on the same methodology as used to determine grant date fair value but using the closing share price on the applicable revaluation date, and the market price volatility, expected remaining life and risk free rates, each as re-measured as of the applicable revaluation date, and where applicable, taking into account the incremental fair value, calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718, of any material modifications that occurred during the fiscal year, and (iii) for unvested PRSUs as of fiscal year-end, the estimate of the most probable aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the requisite service period determined as of fiscal year-end under ASC Topic 718, calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model and based upon a discounted cash flow analysis of the probability-weighted payoffs of a share-based payment assuming a variety of possible stock price paths and for the 2022 and 2023 PRSUs (see footnotes to Outstanding Equity Awards at 2023 Fiscal Year-End table for more information).

(4) | Our total shareholder return is calculated, for each fiscal year, as the cumulative total shareholder return on our common stock from December 29, 2019 (i.e. the first day of our 2020 fiscal year), through the last day of the applicable fiscal year, assuming that $100 was invested beginning December 29, 2019.

(5) | Our peer group is comprised of the component companies of the S&P 500 Index Semiconductor & Semiconductor Equipment Index (the “Peer Index”) for each applicable fiscal year. The total shareholder return for our peer group is calculated, for each fiscal year, as the cumulative total shareholder return of the Peer Index from December 29, 2019 (i.e. the first day of our 2020 fiscal year), through the last day of the applicable fiscal year, assuming that $100 was invested beginning December 29, 2019.

* | Acquisition-related and other costs primarily comprised of transaction costs, purchase price adjustments for inventory, certain compensation charges, contract termination and workforce rebalancing charges.

(7) | The amount reported reflects (a) the incremental fair value, determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718, associated with the extension of the exercise period of Mr. Kumar’s outstanding vested stock options to two years following his termination date pursuant to the terms of his Retirement Transition Agreement with the Company, divided by (b) five (i.e., the number of non-CEO Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2023).

Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and our Total Shareholder Return
Our stock price performance is the predominant factor that determines whether the Compensation Actually Paid to our named executive officers is at, above, or below the amounts reported in our summary compensation tables. The Compensation Actually Paid directly correlates with our total shareholder return (“TSR”) since most of our executive compensation is delivered through long-term equity awards in the form of PRSUs, RSUs, and stock options which vary in value with changes to our stock price. The chart below compares the Compensation Actually Paid during the 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 fiscal years to our cumulative TSR since December 29, 2019 (the last day of our 2019 fiscal year), measured as of the last day of each of those fiscal years.

Pay Versus Performance Table
(continued)
Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and our Net Income (GAAP and
Non-GAAP)
GAAP and
non-GAAP
net income are key measures of our overall profitability and can contribute to changes in our stock price, which in turn primarily drives Compensation Actually Paid. We do not use GAAP net income as a financial measure in our executive compensation program, but we use
non-GAAP
net income which is derived from our GAAP net income.
Non-GAAP
net income is the primary performance factor for determining cash bonuses under our EIP for each of the covered fiscal years and the growth of our
non-GAAP
earnings per share, which is derived from our
non-GAAP
net income, is also a performance measure used to determine the payouts under the annual PRSU awards granted in each of the covered fiscal years.
Between 2020 and 2021, our GAAP and
non-GAAP
net income increased and there was a slight increase in CEO Compensation Actually Paid but a slight decrease in Average Compensation Actually Paid to
Non-CEO
Named Executive Officers. In 2022, GAAP net income and the Compensation Actually Paid decreased while
non-GAAP
net income increased. In 2023, our GAAP and
non-GAAP
net income declined as compared to 2022 but there was an increase in Compensation Actually Paid. The decline in 2023 GAAP and
non-GAAP
net income are not directly correlated to Compensation Actually Paid in 2023 because Compensation Actually Paid was largely driven by the increase to our stock price as illustrated above.
Other Relevant Financial Performance Measures
For fiscal 2023, the following other financial performance measures represented the most important financial performance measures used by us to link the compensation actually paid to our Named Executive Officers to our financial performance:

Financial Performance Measures
Revenue
1-Year Total Shareholder Return
Non-GAAP EPS
Free Cash Flow
Non-GAAP Net Income

For a discussion of how these other financial performance measures impacted the compensation actually paid to our Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2023, please see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 44.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Under SEC rules, a “related person” is a director, executive officer, nominee for director since the beginning of the previous fiscal year, or a greater than 5% beneficial owner of the company at the time of the applicable transaction, and their immediate family members. The Audit and Finance Committee monitors and reviews issues involving potential conflicts of interest and related party transactions (“related party transactions”). In doing so, the Audit and Finance Committee applies our Worldwide Standards of Business Conduct, which provides that directors, Named Executive Officers and all other employees are expected to avoid any relationship, influence or activity that would cause or even appear to cause a conflict of interest. Our Governance Principles require a director to promptly disclose to the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (if the office is separate from the Chair of the Board), and the Lead Independent Director (if a Lead Independent Director has been appointed) any conflict of interest involving the director.

We have written policies and procedures that apply to transactions with related parties. Members of our Legal and Finance departments review all transactions or series of transactions in which the Company or a subsidiary is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a related person has a direct or indirect material interest. All such transactions are then sent to the Audit and Finance Committee to be reviewed. The Audit and Finance Committee must approve all transactions that are considered related party transactions under SEC rules. Furthermore, those deemed to be related party transactions that could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on our financial statements will be submitted to the Board of Directors for their review and approval. In fiscal 2023, we did not conduct any transactions with related persons that would be considered related party transactions under applicable SEC rules.

AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit and Finance Committee consists of Mr. Householder, as Chair, and Messrs. Marren and Olson. Each of the members of the Audit and Finance Committee is “independent” and “financially literate,” as determined by the Board and in compliance with SEC and Nasdaq rules. In addition, Messrs. Householder and Olson were each determined to be an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined under SEC rules.

The Audit and Finance Committee oversees our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm and assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities on matters relating to the integrity of AMD’s financial statements and the effectiveness of AMD’s internal control over financial reporting, AMD’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the performance of our internal audit functions and the independent registered public accounting firm qualifications, by meeting regularly with the independent registered public accounting firm, our senior management and our internal audit, financial, and legal personnel.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of AMD’s financial statements and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of AMD’s annual financial statements and of the effectiveness of AMD’s internal control over financial reporting and expressing opinions on both in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit and Finance Committee reviewed and discussed AMD’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 with management and Ernst & Young LLP, AMD’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit and Finance Committee also discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. This included a discussion of the independent registered public accounting firm’s judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of AMD’s accounting principles and such other matters that generally accepted auditing standards require to be discussed with the Audit and Finance Committee. The Audit and Finance Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the Audit and Finance Committee discussed the independence of Ernst & Young LLP with that firm.

Based on the Audit and Finance Committee’s review and discussions noted above, the Audit and Finance Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, that the audited financial statements be included in AMD’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 for filing with the SEC.

The Audit and Finance Committee and the Board also have recommended, subject to stockholder ratification, the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as AMD’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2024.

ITEM 2—RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit and Finance Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024 and has further directed that management submit the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by our stockholders at the annual meeting.

Although ratification by our stockholders is not a prerequisite to the Audit and Finance Committee’s ability to select Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit and Finance Committee believes such ratification is advisable and in the best interests of our stockholders. Accordingly, stockholders are being requested to ratify, confirm and approve the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to conduct the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting for the current fiscal year. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered by the Audit and Finance Committee; provided, however, the Audit and Finance Committee may select Ernst & Young LLP notwithstanding the failure of our stockholders to ratify its selection. If the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is ratified, the Audit and Finance Committee will continue to conduct an ongoing review of Ernst & Young LLP’s scope of engagement, pricing and work quality, among other factors, and will retain the right to replace Ernst & Young LLP at any time.

Unless you vote otherwise, your proxy will vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. The Audit and Finance Committee meets with Ernst & Young LLP several times a year. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at our Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires. He or she will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Required Vote

Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at our Annual Meeting. Abstentions have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Because brokers and other nominees have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification, we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this item.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current year. Unless you vote otherwise, your proxy will vote FOR ratification.

(2) | Audit-related fees during fiscal 2023 were primarily for compliance-related matters. Audit-related fees for fiscal 2022 were for due diligence service associated with the Pensando acquisition and reviews related to debt financing.

(3) | Tax fees during fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 were primarily for tax compliance and advisory services. Tax fees during fiscal 2023 also include fees for due diligence services associated with the Pensando acquisition.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit and Finance Committee Charter provides that the Audit and Finance Committee must pre-approve the engagement before an independent registered public accounting firm is engaged by us or our subsidiaries to render audit or non-audit services. Audit and Finance Committee pre-approval of audit and non-audit services is not required if the engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit and Finance Committee regarding our engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the committee is informed of each service provided and such policies and procedures do not include delegation to our management of the committee’s responsibilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Audit and Finance Committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the committee the authority to grant pre-approvals, provided such approvals are presented to the committee at a subsequent meeting. If the Audit and Finance Committee elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the Audit and Finance Committee must be informed of each non-audit service provided by the independent auditor.

Our Audit and Finance Committee reviews both audit and non-audit services performed by Ernst & Young LLP and the fees charged for such services on at least an annual basis. Among other things, the Audit and Finance Committee examines the effect that the performance of non-audit services may have upon the independence of Ernst & Young LLP. All services provided by Ernst & Young LLP in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 were pre-approved by the Audit and Finance Committee after review of each of the services proposed for approval.

ITEM 3—APPROVAL ON A NON-BINDING, ADVISORY BASIS OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (“SAY-ON-PAY”)

We are seeking an advisory vote from our stockholders to approve the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC. Unless you indicate otherwise, your proxy will vote FOR the approval of the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers.

The Compensation Committee, with assistance from its independent executive compensation consultant and counsel, has structured our executive compensation program to reflect our “pay-for-performance” philosophy. A significant portion of the compensation opportunities provided to the Named Executive Officers are dependent on our financial performance, which are intended to drive the creation of stockholder value. The Compensation Committee intends to continue to emphasize responsible compensation arrangements that attract, retain and motivate high caliber executive officers, motivate these executive officers to achieve our short-term and long-term business strategies and objectives and support our career development and succession goals.

We have determined to hold a “say-on-pay” advisory vote every year. In accordance with this determination and Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as a matter of good corporate governance, you have the opportunity to vote “for” or “against,” or to “abstain” from voting on, the following non-binding resolution relating to executive compensation:

“Resolved, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation discussion and analysis, the compensation tables and the narrative discussion of such proxy statement.”

In deciding how to vote on this proposal, you are encouraged to consider our executive compensation philosophy and objectives and the elements of our executive compensation program, as contained in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above, as well as the following principles of our executive compensation program and other information:

| • |  | Pay-for-Performance is Important. The Compensation Committee places a strong emphasis on performance-based compensation. To this end, approximately 96% of Dr. Su’s and 92% of the other Named Executive Officer’s aggregate total direct compensation opportunity (i.e., base salary, annual target cash performance bonus opportunity and target value of annual long-term equity awards for 2023) was in the form of a cash performance bonus and long-term equity awards.

| • |  | Clawback Policy. We adopted a compensation recovery (“clawback”) policy in compliance with listing standards of Nasdaq pursuant to which we are required to recover certain incentive-based compensation received by our executive officers as a result of achieving financial performance goals that are not met under any restated financial results.

| • |  | Pay Practices Aligned with Sound Risk Management. The Compensation Committee endeavors to structure our executive compensation program to motivate and reward the Named Executive Officers for appropriately balancing opportunity and risk, such as investing in key initiatives designed to advance our growth in existing and new markets while at the same time avoiding pay practices that encourage excessive risk-taking. In connection with the Compensation Committee’s review of our compensation policies and practices for all employees in general, the Compensation Committee concluded that these policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

| • |  | Stock Ownership Guidelines in Effect. Our stock ownership requirements are designed to increase the Named Executive Officers’ stakes in us and to align their interest more closely with those of our stockholders. As of December 30, 2023, each of the Named Executive Officers were on track to comply with our stock ownership guidelines or has time remaining to do so.

| • |  | Policies Intended to Comport to Best Practices with respect to Change in Control Payments in Effect. During fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee continued to adhere to the executive compensation policies it previously adopted, namely, the Compensation Committee will not approve any change in control arrangement that provides for excise tax gross-ups or cash severance payments in excess of (i) two times the sum of the executive officer’s base salary and annual target bonus, plus (ii) a prorated annual target bonus for the year in which termination occurs.

Abstentions have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

While your vote on this proposal is advisory and will not be binding on the Compensation Committee, the Board or us, the Board and the Compensation Committee values the opinions of our stockholders on executive compensation matters and will take the results of this advisory vote into consideration when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation program.

Calling a special shareholder meeting is hardly ever used by shareholders but the main point of calling a special shareholder meeting is that it gives shareholders at least significant standing to engage effectively with management.

Management will have an incentive to genuinely engage with shareholders, instead of stonewalling, if shareholders have a reasonable Plan B alternative of calling a special shareholder meeting. Management likes to claim that shareholders have multiple means to communicate with management but in most cases these means are as effective as mailing a post card to the CEO. A reasonable right to call a special shareholder meeting is an important step for effective shareholder engagement with management.

Since a special shareholder meeting can be called to replace a director, adoption of this proposal could foster better performance by our directors.

For instance Mr. Abhi Talwalkar received 158 million against votes in 2023.This compares poorly with 7 Advanced Micro Devices directors each receiving less than 26 million against votes.

With the widespread use of online shareholder meetings it is much easier for management to conduct a special shareholder meeting and our bylaws thus need to be updated accordingly.

Please vote yes:

Proposal 4 – Adopt a Shareholder Right to Call a Special Shareholder Meeting

Required Vote

Approval of the stockholder proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote on the proposal and present in person or represented by proxy at our Annual Meeting. Abstentions have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST THE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL

The Board has carefully considered the proposal and believes that it is not in the best interests of our stockholders in light of our recently adopted bylaw, which provides stockholders holding no less than 20% of our capital stock with the right to call a special meeting of stockholders. The 20% special meeting ownership threshold adopted by the Board is consistent with the predominant market practice. Consequently, the Board UNANIMOUSLY recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons.

ITEM 4—Stockholder Proposal Requesting a Stockholder Right to Call a Special Meeting (continued)

A 20% special meeting ownership threshold in our bylaws provides a procedural safeguard against abuse, corporate waste and activist investors with short-term goals.

In response to the receipt of the stockholder proposal, on February 13, 2024, the Board amended our bylaws to give stockholders holding no less than 20% of our capital stock continuously for at least one year the right to call a special meeting. We believe this strikes the appropriate balance between ensuring that our stockholders have the ability to call a special meeting to act on extraordinary and urgent matters, while at the same time protecting against a misuse of this right by a small number of stockholders whose interests may not be aligned with the remaining 80% of our stockholders. If stockholders holding just 10% of our capital stock have the ability to call a special meeting, as requested by the proposal, then a small number of stockholders could act together to call a special meeting. Enabling a few large stockholders that together meet a lower ownership threshold to monopolize this right would result in outsized attention and resources being devoted to the special interests of a minority, at the expense of our smaller stockholders. Furthermore, we believe that failure to aggregate sufficient stock ownership to reach the 20% ownership threshold is a strong indicator that a sufficient interest among the majority of stockholders does not exist to call a special meeting.

Special meetings of stockholders can be disruptive to business operations, incur substantial expenses and harm long-term stockholder interests. The Board, management and employees must devote a significant amount of time and attention preparing for such meetings, which distracts them from their primary focus of maximizing long-term financial returns for stockholders and operating our business in the best interest of stockholders. In addition, with each special meeting of stockholders, we must incur significant expenses in order to prepare the disclosures required for such meetings, print and distribute materials, solicit proxies and tabulate votes. As a result, special meetings of stockholders should be limited to circumstances where a substantial number of stockholders believe a matter is sufficiently urgent or extraordinary to justify calling a special meeting.

Our special meeting bylaw serves as a protective mechanism against activist investors with short-term goals. With a threshold at 10%, a small number of stockholders could use the special meeting right to advance special interest agendas, goals not widely shared by the stockholder base as a whole or apply short-term oriented pressure inconsistent with the long-term interests of the Company and our stockholders. The 20% threshold in our bylaws ensures that a special meeting of stockholders may only be called by a stockholder or group of stockholders with a more substantial stake in our Company and who share interest in a common topic. This appropriately safeguards stockholder interests and prevents corporate waste, while at the same time ensuring that stockholders have the ability to call special meetings when appropriate.

In addition, the one-year stock holding period included in our bylaws is consistent with the minimum holding period established by the SEC under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, which enables a stockholder to include a proposal in an issuer’s proxy statement. In adopting the holding requirements under Rule 14a-8, the SEC indicated that the holding period should be calibrated such that a stockholder has some meaningful “economic stake or investment interest” in a company before the stockholder may draw on company and stockholder resources and command the time and attention of other stockholders to consider and vote on the proposal. Our Board believes the SEC’s reasoning is equally applicable to the Company’s one-year holding requirement for requesting a special meeting.

The special meeting ownership threshold in our bylaws is consistent with overwhelming market practice.

The 20% special meeting ownership threshold included in our bylaws is in line with market practice and notably, it is actually lower than the most common special meeting ownership threshold of 25%. As of February 2024, within the S&P 500, 364 companies afford stockholders the right to call a special meeting of stockholders. Of those companies, over half have adopted an ownership threshold of 20% or higher for allowing stockholders to call a special meeting, with the most common ownership threshold being 25%, while only about 40% have adopted a special meeting ownership threshold of 15% or less. Our Board believes that the 20% ownership threshold is appropriate for our Company and in line with market practice.

Our existing governance policies provide stockholders with meaningful opportunities to engage in Company affairs.

We are committed to regular stockholder engagement and strong and effective corporate governance policies that provide sufficient avenues for stockholders to meaningfully engage in Company affairs. We regularly engage with

key stockholders to discuss, among other items, governance issues to ensure that management and the Board understand and address issues that are important to the Company’s stockholders. Our existing governance policies provide stockholders with numerous avenues to address and discuss our business and governance policies with the Board, and demonstrate our responsiveness and willingness to engage with stockholders and provide them with a meaningful voice.

For instance, our bylaws provide a proxy access right permitting certain of our stockholders who have beneficially owned 3% or more of our common stock continuously for at least three years to submit director nominations via our proxy materials for up to 20% of the directors then serving. In addition, our bylaws provide for the annual election of directors. These corporate governance policies provide our stockholders with numerous opportunities to be heard and to engage directly with the Board. In light of these existing opportunities for stockholder engagement, together with the existing right to call a special meeting, the Board believes that a lower special meeting thresholds as requested by the proposal would not make a meaningful difference in our stockholders’ ability to engage with the Board or influence our business or governance policies.

For the above reasons, the Board has determined that it is not in the best interests of our stockholders to adopt this proposal. Doing so is unnecessary in light of the existing special meeting bylaw, which allows stockholders who own at least 20% of our capital stock continuously for at least one year to call a special meeting of stockholders.

For these reasons, the Board UNANIMOUSLY urges stockholders to vote AGAINST the proposal to adopt a stockholder right to call a special meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST THE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL.
