Executive Compensation
At the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company’s stockholders cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement for that meeting. The Company’s stockholders overwhelmingly approved the proposal with 88% of the shares voted being cast in favor of the proposal. These programs and policies remain unchanged, as described in detail beginning on page 31. The Company’s core management compensation program includes base salary, an annual performance-based incentive plan payment opportunity, an annual stock option award (with 20% vesting each year over a five-year period), insurance benefits and retirement benefits.
The compensation program for the named executive officers emphasizes at-risk, performance-based elements. Fixed compensation elements, including base salary, retirement benefits and other compensation are designed to be market competitive for purposes of retention, and to a lesser extent, recruitment. However, it is intended that a larger part of the named executive officers’ compensation be geared to reward performance that generates long-term shareholder value.
For the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, fixed compensation elements including salary, retirement benefits and “all other compensation” comprised approximately 13% of his total 2022 compensation. His at-risk compensation linked to increasing shareholder value comprised approximately 87% of his total 2022 compensation. These at-risk elements include stock options granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant which only generate value if the Company’s share price increases after the grant date. The other at-risk compensation is annual incentive plan compensation which historically has not paid out if year-over-year Adjusted Diluted EPS declines, and rewards the Chief Executive Officer for growth in Company revenues and Adjusted Diluted EPS. For the Company’s other named executive officers as a group, fixed compensation elements comprised approximately 18% of total 2022 compensation while at-risk compensation comprised approximately 82% of total 2022 compensation. As with the Chief Executive Officer, the fixed compensation elements for the other named executive officers include salary, retirement benefits and “all other compensation”, while the at-risk items include stock options and annual incentive plan compensation linked to goals that encourage growth in revenues and either Adjusted Diluted EPS or operating income, depending on the role of the named executive officer.
The Board believes this compensation program is a valuable and appropriate tool which contributes to the Company’s continuing success.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
2022 Performance Highlights(1)
Amphenol delivered a record year in 2022, which was particularly impressive considering the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the significant inflationary and supply chain pressures. Notwithstanding this environment, we achieved:
•
Record Sales of $12.623 billion, up 16% in U.S. dollars and 15% organically compared to 2021
​
•
Record GAAP Diluted EPS of $3.06, up 22% compared to prior year
​
•
Record Adjusted Diluted EPS of $3.00, up 21% compared to prior year
​
•
GAAP and Adjusted Operating Margin of 20.5% and 20.7%, respectively
​
•
Record Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and Free Cash Flow of $2.175 billion and $1.796 billion, respectively
​
•
Invested $384 million into new products, facilities and capabilities to fuel future growth and expansion
​
•
Completed two acquisitions
​
•
Returned more than $1.2 billion to stockholders
​
Amphenol’s performance in 2022 enabled us to continue our track record of creating long-term value for our stockholders. During the past two pandemic-impacted years, Amphenol has grown our sales and Adjusted Diluted EPS by 47% and 60% respectively, a significant achievement given the severity and length of the crisis. In addition, over the past ten years, Amphenol has delivered compound annual sales growth of 11% and Adjusted Diluted EPS growth of 13%. This superior performance has created sustained shareholder value as reflected in Amphenol’s stock delivering an approximately 18% compound annual return for the ten years ending December 31, 2022, significantly exceeding the 13% return of the S&P 500 during that same time period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Amphenol’s unique operating culture enabled us to continue our track record of outperformance in 2022. Despite the challenges posed by supply chain disruptions, an inflationary environment and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other operational difficulties, our team continued to capitalize on our value-creating high-technology solutions and the growth trends in our markets. We are encouraged by the platform of strength that has been created by the Company’s strong performance in 2022. We believe that our unique Amphenolian culture of entrepreneurial accountability will continue to be the core reason for our success.
Stock Performance Graph
The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return of Amphenol over a period of five years ending December 31, 2022 with the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 (“S&P 500”) Stock Index and the Dow Jones U.S. Electrical Components & Equipment Index (“DJUSEC”). This graph assumes that $100 was invested in our Common Stock and each index on December 31, 2017, reflects reinvested dividends, and is weighted on a market capitalization basis as of the beginning of each year. Each reported data point below represents the last trading day of each calendar year. The comparisons in the graph below are based upon historical data and are not indicative of, nor intended to forecast, future performance.
Investor Outreach
Amphenol regularly engages 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. Through these engagements the Company has obtained valuable feedback. For example, in
vii

TABLE OF CONTENTS
2022, the Company adopted an amendment to the Company’s By-Laws to provide that in contested elections, directors will be elected under a plurality voting standard. This varies from the Company’s majority voting standard in uncontested elections. In addition, in 2016, the Board adopted an amendment to the Company’s By-Laws that, among other things, implemented “proxy access”, which, subject to the requirements of the By-Laws, permits any stockholder or group of up to 20 stockholders that beneficially owns at least 3% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock continuously for three years to nominate candidates for election to the Board and to require the Company to list such nominees in the Company’s proxy statement. In prior years, the Company has taken a variety of other significant actions in response to investor feedback, such as lowering the threshold to call special meetings of stockholders from 50% to 25%, declassifying the Board and providing for the annual election of directors, allowing stockholders to act by written consent and eliminating supermajority voting requirements in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. In 2022, in addition to our regular investor engagement, the Company also engaged with a number of other stakeholders on a variety of topics, including various environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) related topics.
Environmental, Social and Governance
At Amphenol, we believe that making sustainable business choices, building strong relationships with our stakeholders and engaging in good corporate governance create long-term value for our Company. We also recognize that our ESG practices and initiatives require transparency and accountability. To that end, we publish a Sustainability Report on an annual basis, the most recent of which is available on the home page of our website. We anticipate publishing our 2022 Sustainability Report prior to the Annual Meeting. For more information about our ESG practices and initiatives, please visit the sustainability section of our website at https://www.amphenol.com/sustainability.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​
PROXY STATEMENT
This proxy statement (first mailed to stockholders on or about April 10, 2023) is furnished to the holders of the Class A Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Amphenol Corporation (the “Company” or “Amphenol”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in the Conference Center at the Company’s Corporate Headquarters at 358 Hall Avenue, Wallingford, Connecticut 06492 (telephone (203) 265-8900) at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on Thursday, May 18, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”).
RECORD DATE
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on March 20, 2023 as the Record Date for the 2023 Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). Only stockholders of record at the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof, in person or by proxy. At the Record Date, there were 595,262,194 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
PROXIES
The proxy accompanying this proxy statement is solicited on behalf of the Board for use at the Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held at the Record Date. The holders of record, present in person or by proxy, of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for quorum purposes.
Shares will be voted in accordance with stockholder instructions. If a stockholder returns a signed proxy card that omits voting instructions for some or all matters to be voted on, the proxy holders will vote on all uninstructed matters in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. In addition, if a stockholder has returned a signed proxy card, the proxy holders will have, and intend to exercise, discretion to vote shares in accordance with their best judgment on any matters not identified in this proxy statement on which a vote is taken at the Annual Meeting. At present, the Company is not aware of any such matter.
For stockholders that hold their shares through an account with a broker, bank or other nominee, and do not give voting instructions on a matter, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the broker, bank or other nominee, is permitted to vote in its discretion only on Proposal 2 (ratification of selection of the independent public accountants) and is required to withhold its vote on each of the other proposals, the withholding of which is referred to as a “broker non-vote.”
The following table illustrates votes required, and the impact of abstentions and broker non-votes.

​ | ​ | Proposal | ​ | ​ | ​ | Required Vote | ​ | ​ | ​ | Impact of Abstentions | ​ | ​ | ​ | Impact of Broker Non-Votes | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | 1. Election of directors ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Votes “For” a nominee must exceed votes “Against” that nominee | ​ | ​ | ​ | No impact on outcome | ​ | ​ | ​ | Not counted as votes cast; no impact on outcome | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | 2. Ratification of the selection of the independent public accountants ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Approval by a majority of the votes cast | ​ | ​ | ​ | No impact on outcome | ​ | ​ | ​ | Not expected; not counted as votes cast; no impact on outcome | ​ | ​

A proxy may be revoked. For shares that are held in “street name”, the stockholder must follow the directions provided by its bank, broker or other intermediary for revoking or modifying voting instructions. For shares that are registered in the stockholder’s own name, the proxy may be revoked by written notification to the Company Secretary prior to its exercise and providing relevant name and account information, submitting a new proxy card with a later date (which will override the earlier proxy) or voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
Votes on each of the proposals other than election of directors are advisory and therefore not binding on the Company. However, the Board will consider the outcome of these votes in its future deliberations.
The inspectors of election appointed for the Annual Meeting with the assistance of the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., will tabulate the votes.
The Company pays the cost of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing this proxy soliciting material. The Company has engaged the firm of Georgeson LLC to assist in the distribution of this Notice of 2023 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and will pay Georgeson LLC its out of pocket expenses for such services. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to stockholders. Georgeson LLC has also been retained to assist in soliciting proxies for a fee not expected to exceed $11,000, plus distribution costs and other costs and expenses.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the Company’s executive officers and directors, and any persons who own more than 10% of the Common Stock, file reports of initial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock and subsequent changes in that ownership with the SEC and furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a). As a practical matter, the Company seeks to assist its directors and officers by monitoring transactions and completing and filing reports on their behalf.
Based solely upon a review of the filings with the SEC and written representations from directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all executive officers and directors of the Company filed all required reports on a timely basis with respect to 2022.
PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the Company, taken together, provide for a Board consisting of not less than three or more than 15 directors. Currently, the number of directors of the Company is ten. Mr. Clark has indicated that he will not stand for re-election after his term expires at the Annual Meeting. The Company thanks Mr. Clark for his seventeen years of dedicated service.
Our directors are elected annually. Immediately following the Annual Meeting, the number of directors will be reduced to nine. Accordingly, action will be taken at the Annual Meeting for the re-election of nine directors: Nancy A. Altobello, David P. Falck, Edward G. Jepsen, Rita S. Lane, Robert A. Livingston, Martin H. Loeffler, R. Adam Norwitt, Prahlad Singh and Anne Clarke Wolff for a term of one year that will expire at the 2024 Annual Meeting.
In accordance with our By-Laws, directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast. That means the nominees will be elected if the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” such nominee. For this purpose, broker non-votes will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the elections of directors. Our form of proxy permits you to abstain from voting “for” or “against” a particular nominee. However, shares represented by proxies so designated will count as being present for purposes of determining a quorum but will not count as a vote cast and will have no effect on the election of directors. Such proxies may also be voted on other matters, if any, that may be properly presented at the meeting.
If an incumbent nominee is not re-elected, Delaware law provides that the director would continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director.” Under our By-Laws and Corporate Governance Principles, all nominees for director are required to tender, prior to the mailing of the proxy statement for the meeting at which they are to be voted on as directors, irrevocable resignations that will be effective upon the occurrence of both (i) the failure to receive the required vote for re-election at any meeting at which they are nominated for re-election and (ii) the Board’s acceptance of such resignation. In the event that, any nominee fails to receive the required vote for re-election, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of the Board must then consider whether to accept the director’s previously tendered resignation and make a recommendation to the Board. The Board will then consider the resignation, and within 90 days after the date of certification of the election results, publicly disclose its decision and the reasons for its decision.
A director whose resignation is under consideration may not participate in any deliberation regarding his or her resignation unless none of the directors received a majority of the votes cast. If the Board accepts a director’s resignation, the Board will then fill any resulting vacancy or decrease the size of the Board in accordance with the By-Laws.
It is intended that the proxies delivered pursuant to this solicitation will be voted in favor of the election of each director nominee, except in cases of proxies bearing contrary instructions. In the event that any of
5

TABLE OF CONTENTS
these nominees should become unavailable for election for any presently unforeseen reason, the persons named in the proxy will have the right to use their discretion to vote for a substitute.
Information regarding each director nominee that led the Board to conclude that the director should serve on the Board is set forth in the biographical descriptions on the following pages and in the table on page 17 under the heading Board of Directors Summary Information. The Company’s goal is to assemble a Board that works together and with management to deliver long-term shareholder value. The Company believes that the nominees and directors set forth below, each of whom is currently a director of the Company, possess the skills and experience necessary to guide the Company in the best interests of its stockholders. The Company’s current Board consists of individuals with proven records of success in their chosen professions and with the Company. They all have high integrity and keen intellect. They are collegial yet independent in their thinking, and have demonstrated the willingness to make the time commitment necessary to be informed about the Company and its relevant industry, including its customers, suppliers, competitors, stockholders and management.
The following information details professional experience and other directorships of public companies during at least the past five years for each of the proposed director nominees. Beneficial ownership of equity securities of the current directors and the proposed director nominees is shown under the caption Security Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers on page 4.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
Governance Principles
Amphenol’s Corporate Governance Principles meet or exceed the Listing Standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE Listing Standards”), including guidelines for determining director independence and reporting concerns to non-employee directors and the Audit Committee. The Company’s Governance Principles, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the charters of each of the Board’s committees are reviewed at least annually and revised as warranted. Amphenol’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to all employees, directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company posts the following documents on its website at www.amphenol.com under the heading “Investors”, then “Governance”, and then “Governance Documents”:

A printed copy of any of these documents will be provided to any stockholder of the Company free of charge upon written request to the Company, c/o Secretary, Amphenol Corporation, 358 Hall Avenue, Wallingford, Connecticut 06492.
Director Independence
The Board has adopted the definition of “independent director” set forth in the NYSE Listing Standards to assist it in making determinations of independence. In addition to applying these guidelines, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination.
The Board has determined that all of the directors are independent of the Company and its management with the exception of Mr. Norwitt who is not considered an independent director because of his current employment with the Company.
Leadership Structure
Mr. Loeffler is Chairman of the Board and Mr. Falck is the Board’s Presiding Director. As Presiding Director, Mr. Falck has the authority to call, schedule and chair executive sessions of the independent directors. After each Board meeting and executive session the Chairman and Presiding Director communicate with the Chief Executive Officer to provide feedback and to effectuate the decisions and recommendations of the directors.
The Board of Directors has determined that at the present time, its current leadership structure, including a Presiding Director, a Chairman of the Board who retired from employment with the Company in 2010 after 37 years of service and a Chief Executive Officer who is an inside director, is appropriate and allows the Board to fulfill its duties effectively and efficiently based on the Company’s current needs. The Presiding Director and independent Chairman of the Board provide a means for the Board to effectively operate independently of the Company’s management. This structure also allows the Board to draw upon the skills and extensive experience of a Chairman who can ensure that the other directors’ attention is devoted to the issues of greatest

Board of Directors Summary Information
The following table sets forth basic information about the experience, skills and backgrounds that our Board considered important in its decision to re-nominate those individuals to our Board. Except for those directors identified as an “audit committee financial expert” ​(as defined by the applicable rules of the SEC and the NYSE Listing Standards) elsewhere in this proxy statement, the fact that a nominee has an “●” marked next to his or her name for a particular skill does not necessarily mean that the nominee is an “expert” in that area, but rather the mark signifies that the nominee brings meaningful skills and experience to the Board in that particular subject. Each director nominee is individually qualified to make unique, substantial and important contributions. Collectively, our directors’ diverse viewpoints and independent-mindedness enhance the quality and effectiveness of Board deliberations and decision making.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Our current Board of Directors also includes Stanley L. Clark, who will retire from the Board as of the Annual Meeting. Mr. Clark, age 79, has been a Director since 2005. Mr. Clark is the former Lead Trustee and Senior Advisor of Goodrich, LLC, where he also served as chief executive officer and trustee from 2001 until 2014. He was chief executive officer of Simplex Time Recorder Company from 1998 to 2001 and director from 1996 to 2001, chief operating officer from 1996 to 1998 and group vice president from 1994 to 1996. Prior to working at Simplex Time Recorder Company, he held various positions with Raytheon Company over a period of 17 years, including service as the corporate group vice president for the commercial electronics group and as a director of New Japan Radio Company, a joint venture between Raytheon Company and Japan Radio. Mr. Clark also served four years in the United States Navy. Mr. Clark is a member of the Compensation Committee, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and the Pension Committee. Mr. Clark is not a member of the board of directors of any other public company.
Director Selection Process; Board Diversity
The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for Board membership suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as by management and stockholders. A stockholder may recommend any person for consideration as a nominee for director by writing to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Secretary, Amphenol Corporation, 358 Hall Avenue, Wallingford, CT 06492. Recommendations must be received by December 31, 2023 to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and must comply with the requirements in the Company’s By-Laws. Recommendations must include the name and address of the stockholder making the recommendation, a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of Common Stock, biographical information about the individual recommended and any other information the stockholder believes would be helpful to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee in its evaluation of the individual being recommended by the stockholder as a nominee for director.
Potential candidates for the Board will be evaluated by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee on the basis of:
•
character, judgment, personal and professional ethics, integrity and values;
​
•
business, financial and/or other applicable experience;
​
•
familiarity with national and international issues affecting the Company’s business;
​
•
depth of experience, skills and knowledge complementary to the Board and the Company’s business; and
​
•
ability and willingness to devote sufficient time to effectively carry out the duties and responsibilities of a director of the Company.
​
The Board believes it functions most effectively when comprised of a diverse set of members, including a healthy mix of short-, mid- and long-serving members. To that end, the Board is committed to a policy of regular refreshment and has regularly engaged a reputable international search firm to identify appropriate candidates. During the last five years, we have added five new independent members to our Board, Anne Clarke Wolff, Robert Livingston, Rita Lane, Nancy Altobello and Prahlad Singh.
Our Board also believes that diversity includes diversity in terms of background, skills, age, experience and expertise, as well as gender, race, ethnicity and culture. To the extent used, search firms retained by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee to assist in identifying qualified candidates are specifically advised to include diverse candidates from traditional and non-traditional environments, including women and people of color (e.g., the “Rooney Rule”). The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee may also consider such other relevant factors as it deems appropriate. It will make a recommendation to the full Board as to any persons it believes should be nominated by the Board, and the Board will determine the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. The process for considering candidates recommended by a stockholder for Board membership will be no different than the process for candidates recommended by members of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, other members of the Board or management. In connection with the identification and appointment of Ms. Wolff, Mr. Livingston, Ms. Lane and Mr. Singh, the Board engaged a reputable international search firm, and in each case considered a slate of diverse candidates. In the case of

Ms. Altobello, the Board did not engage a search firm, but instead became aware of her in connection with the Company’s acquisition of MTS Systems Corporation, where she was already a board member. Of our ten current directors, three were born outside of the United States and two identify as under-represented minorities (Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Asian, Native American or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or two or more Races or Ethnicities). One identifies as LGBTQ+. Three of our directors are women.
Committees
The Board has five standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Executive Committee, the Pension Committee and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that all the members of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee are independent and satisfy the relevant SEC and New York Stock Exchange independence requirements for the members of such committees. The Board has determined that all members of the Executive Committee and the Pension Committee are independent.

Jepsen and Anne Clarke Wolff (Chair).
Meetings of the Board and Committees
During 2022 there were six formal meetings of the Board. All directors participated in all meetings of the Board and the Committees on which they served in 2022, except that one now retired director missed one of the six meetings and also missed one committee meeting. Directors also attended meetings as invited guests of all Committees on which they did not serve. This included quarterly telephonic meetings of the Audit Committee during which quarterly results were discussed and quarterly press releases reporting operating results were reviewed and approved.
The independent directors of the Company meet in executive session as necessary, but at least quarterly as part of the Board’s regular quarterly meetings. Such private meetings are currently presided over by the Chairman of the Board, the Presiding Director, the chair of the committee or by the director who requests the opportunity to meet in executive session.
The full Board conducts a self-evaluation at least annually to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively. The full Board meets at least annually with the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Executive Committee, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and the Pension Committee to review and discuss each committee’s self-evaluation, including its performance as measured against its charter and the continuing effectiveness of its charter. In addition, the Board discusses with the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee the corporate governance guidelines that it is responsible for developing and recommending to the Board.
Risk Oversight
The Board is actively involved in overseeing risk management for the Company. This oversight is conducted both directly and through the committees of the Board. At each regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of the Board, the Board reviews various risks facing the Company at such time.
The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s portfolio of risk with management and the Company’s independent public accountants, discusses with management significant financial risks, the Company’s policies

with respect to risk assessment and risk management and the actions management has taken to limit, monitor and control financial and other risk exposures. The Audit Committee also reviews the Company’s internal system of audit and financial controls and the process for maintaining financial reporting controls with management and the Company’s independent public accountants. The Committee also assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of cybersecurity and climate-change related matters, which are reviewed as appropriate with the Board.
The Compensation Committee oversees risk management as it relates to compensation plans, policies and practices in connection with structuring the Company’s executive compensation programs and incentive compensation programs for other employees. The Compensation Committee reviews with management whether the compensation programs, including the incentive plans and the stock option plans described in the section entitled Elements of Compensation Program beginning on page 32, are reasonably likely to create incentives for employees that may cause such employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation Committee and management have concluded the Company’s compensation programs are not reasonably likely to create incentives for employees that may cause such employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee oversees risk management as it relates to governance matters.
The Pension Committee oversees risk management as it relates to the Company’s U.S. pension plan described beginning on page 49. The Pension Committee reviews with management the forecasted liabilities of the U.S. pension plan, the actuarial assumptions used in determining those liabilities, the investments funding those anticipated obligations, the periodic performance of those investments and, as necessary, reviews and recommends revisions to the general investment policies governing the investment of the assets of such pension plan. The Pension Committee also has responsibility for ensuring there is an appropriate selection of diverse investments for those employees participating in the various 401(k) plans sponsored by the Company and oversees the general administration of the 401(k) plans.
Corporate policies encourage employees to report possible violations of Company policy, or any other illegal or unethical conduct by employees, officers or directors of Amphenol, to the employee’s manager, the Amphenol Legal Department, the Audit Committee or the Company ethics hotline. During each of our monthly management operation reviews the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer provide feedback on risk management practices to our operating management teams. Our operating management is required to consider risks and risk mitigation strategies as part of their annual budget processes and strategic planning processes and to include specific mitigation strategies.
Human Capital Management and Culture Oversight
The Board is actively involved in overseeing the Company’s employee-related strategies and practices as well as the Company’s culture. This oversight is conducted both directly and through certain of the Board’s committees. At each of its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews changes in key personnel and, multiple times a year, meets with management to discuss various human resources related topics, including talent development, succession planning, diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, compensation and culture. We believe the Company’s culture has been a critical component of the Company’s success and reinforcing that culture is a key responsibility of our executive management.
Amphenol is committed to workplace diversity and fostering a culture of equity, inclusion and belonging across our organization. Our business spans the globe and the employees in our facilities reflect the diversity of our geographic footprint. At Amphenol, we promote and maintain a culture of respect and appreciation of differences in our employees. The Company generally relies on local general management in every region, which we believe creates a strong degree of organizational stability and a deep commitment to our people and the local community. A key hallmark of our structure is our entrepreneurial culture that creates clear accountability for each of our general managers, who are our key business leaders. Our core management team is comprised of these general managers and their controllers, as well as our executive management team. Women represented 27% of this core management team at the end of 2022. Of our total employees worldwide, approximately half are women.

We believe that the protection of our employees is a moral obligation. In addition, the safety and well-being of our employees is critical to the successful operation of our business. Our health and safety activities are overseen by our corporate environmental, health, safety and sustainability leadership team and are managed by our local teams, who coordinate on-site safety programs, resources, reporting and training in our facilities. We believe that this model of coaching and tracking at the corporate level, but administering at the facility level, has allowed us to provide training and supervision that better fits the local needs of each of our workforces. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we took significant actions to protect the physical and mental health and well-being of our employees throughout the world, including, in particular, those employees who work in our factories.
Amphenol recognizes that we have a responsibility to be a positive influence in the communities in which we operate around the world. Most of our community outreach is organized by our local management teams, which helps ensure that our efforts are working in support of the local communities in which our employees live and work. Our local teams are actively supporting their communities in a variety of ways including: school supply drives, local blood drives, mentoring of at-risk students, community clean-up events, local tree planting, holiday-giving events and food delivery services to immobile individuals. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our local teams worked to support their communities through the purchase and donation of supplies and equipment, as well as financial support of local health care institutions.

The grant date fair value of the 2,664 shares of restricted stock granted to each director (other than Mr. Craig) on May 19, 2022 was $180,060 computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Unless the date of the Annual Meeting is postponed, which is not currently expected, the restricted stock awards granted to each of the directors indicated in the table above will become fully vested on May 17, 2023.
​
(2)
The Company does not have a pension plan program applicable to its non-employee directors. Directors who are current or former employees participate in the Company’s Pension Plan (described beginning on page 49) as employees. Messrs. Loeffler and Jepsen participated in the Pension Plan during their prior employment with the Company. Upon retirement, their pension benefits were fixed, and they are no longer accruing any additional benefits under the Pension Plan.
​
(3)
The Company does not have any other compensation programs for its non-employee directors nor did it provide any other benefits which could be deemed to be compensation for their service.
​
(4)
Mr. Craig did not stand for re-election at the May 18, 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. His 2022 compensation reflects amounts paid to him through such date.
​
In February 2022, in connection with its regular and ongoing review of Board compensation, the Board adopted changes to the fee amounts earned by the directors effective January 1, 2022, which will continue through 2023. These fees were last adjusted in 2018. In connection with such changes, the Compensation Committee retained Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”), an independent compensation consultant, to provide market data for director compensation at companies similar in size to Amphenol. Meridian also confirmed the final decision was generally aligned with market practice. For more information on Meridian, see the section entitled Role of Compensation Consultant in Compensation Decisions in the

The 2012 Directors Restricted Stock Plan of Amphenol Corporation (the “Directors Restricted Stock Plan”) provides annual grants of restricted stock to the non-employee directors on the first business day after each annual meeting of stockholders and interim pro-rated grants for non-employee directors not initially elected at a regular meeting of the Company’s stockholders. On the grant date, each non-employee director will be awarded shares of Common Stock subject to the restrictions and conditions in the Directors Restricted Stock Plan. In 2022, the number of shares granted was determined by dividing $180,000 by the closing price for the Common Stock on the grant date and rounding up to the next whole share amount. The closing price of the Common Stock on May 19, 2022 was $67.59.
​
Going forward, the Compensation Committee will monitor and make recommendations to the Company and to the Board regarding the annual retainer fee, committee chair fees, Chairman of the Board and Presiding Director fees and equity compensation elements of the directors’ compensation program to ensure that total director compensation is fair and reasonable and competitive for the purpose of attracting and retaining qualified directors.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate directly with members of the Board of Directors c/o Secretary, Amphenol Corporation, 358 Hall Avenue, Wallingford, CT 06492. All communications will be promptly forwarded to the appropriate directors for their review, except that the Board has instructed the Secretary not to forward solicitations, bulk mail or communications that address improper or irrelevant topics or requests for general information.
Board Member Attendance at Annual Meeting of Stockholders
In each of the last ten years, more than 85% of outstanding shares of Common Stock have been voted by proxy and no more than five non-employee stockholders (representing only a nominal number of shares) have personally attended any of the Company’s Annual Meetings of Stockholders. Accordingly, the Company does not require members of the Board to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The only then current Board member who attended the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was Mr. Norwitt.

PROPOSAL 2. RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered the performance and qualifications of Deloitte & Touche LLP and has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP to act as independent public accountants to examine the financial statements of the Company for the current fiscal year.

If the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP is not ratified by an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee will review its future selection of independent public accountants in light of that result.
The Board is asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2023 Annual Meeting:
RESOLVED, that the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent public accountants for the Company for the year 2023 is hereby RATIFIED.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Overview of Compensation. The Compensation Committee of the Board (referred to in this Compensation Discussion & Analysis as the “Committee”) has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Company’s compensation philosophy and guidelines. A primary goal of the compensation philosophy and these guidelines is to align the interests of management with the interests of stockholders to drive long-term shareholder value through performance. The Committee strives to ensure that the total compensation paid to executive officers and key management employees is appropriate and reasonable, while, at the same time, capable of attracting, motivating and retaining the executive officers and key management employees of the Company. The Committee endeavors to keep the structure of the Company’s compensation programs simple, transparent, consistent and broad-based. The Company’s core management compensation program includes base salary, an annual performance-based incentive plan payment opportunity, annual stock option awards, insurance benefits and retirement benefits. This core compensation structure has not changed in more than 10 years.
The Company continues to emphasize performance through its compensation programs. Notwithstanding the unexpected and unprecedented challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic and the inflationary and supply chain disruptions of 2022 created for our management teams, no changes were made to our core compensation program in 2022, including the 2022 Management Incentive Plan.
Throughout this proxy statement, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer together with the three other individuals included in the Summary Compensation Table on page 44, are referred to as the “named executive officers”. References to “executive officers and key management employees” in this proxy statement relate to the approximately 950 management personnel of the Company, including the named executive officers, who participated in the Company’s core management compensation programs in 2022.
Say on Pay. At the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The proposal received overwhelming support with 88% of the shares voted being cast in favor of the proposal. The Board appreciates this show of support, which reaffirms to the Board that the Company’s current management compensation policies and programs support our stockholders’ objectives. The Company believes the philosophy and objectives of its management compensation program, as well as the implementation of the elements of the compensation program, are appropriately geared towards aligning the interests of management with the interests of stockholders to drive long-term shareholder value. No changes were made to the structure of the Company’s core management compensation programs in 2022 or 2023.
The Compensation Committee. The Committee is currently composed of four independent directors. The activities and actions of the Committee are subject to the review of the full Board. All actions of the Committee are reported to the Board no later than the next subsequent meeting of the full Board following any Committee action.
The Committee has responsibility, from time to time, but at least annually, to:
•
Review and approve the overall compensation philosophy and guidelines for all executive officers and key management employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
​
•
Review and approve changes as necessary and appropriate to the Company’s annual Management Incentive Plan and the Company’s Stock Option Plans as described beginning on pages 33 and 35, respectively.
​
•
Review and approve the goals relevant to compensation for, and evaluate the performance of, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; determine and approve, as deemed necessary and appropriate, any changes in his compensation; and approve any incentive plan payments and/or any option awards to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
​
•
Review and approve recommendations from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer related to the incentive plan awards and stock option awards and other related matters for all other executive officers and key management employees.

•
Review and approve recommendations from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer related to specific adjustments to individual base salary and incentive plan targets for all executives reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, the Division Controllers and Group General Managers and any other employees comprising the 20 most highly compensated employees.
​
•
Review the Company’s diversity, equity & inclusion programs and performance.
​
Role of Compensation Consultant in Compensation Decisions. The Committee has retained Meridian, an independent compensation consultant, to advise it from time to time on executive and board compensation matters. Meridian reports directly to the Committee and the Committee has sole authority to negotiate the terms of service, including all fees paid to Meridian. In 2022, in conjunction with the Committee’s annual review of executive compensation, Meridian was asked to provide market data for executive compensation at companies similar in size to Amphenol. Meridian does not make any decisions relating to the creation or implementation of the Company’s compensation policies or programs. The Committee and Meridian both evaluated Meridian’s independence in 2022 and concluded that Meridian is independent of the Company.
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions. In establishing, reviewing and assessing the appropriateness of compensation levels and adjustments in compensation levels for the executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) and key management employees, the Committee considers the recommendations of certain executive officers of the Company, including in particular Mr. Norwitt. Mr. Norwitt and certain executive officers of the Company review the performance and compensation of the executive officers and key management employees at least annually and any prospective senior management employees as necessary. As part of this process, Mr. Norwitt and such executive officers consider market data provided by Meridian as well as general compensation surveys comprised of widely available information which is generally accessible for purchase or provided without charge to the Company in exchange for participation in the survey. The Company’s human resources department, including the Senior Vice President, Human Resources, also provides data, information and feedback based on its general knowledge of compensation inside and outside of the Company. The accounting department and legal department, including the executive officers in those departments, also compile and analyze data and share this with Mr. Norwitt. The recommendations of these executive officers, including Mr. Norwitt, regarding any salary adjustments, annual incentive plan payments and annual option awards based on individual and operating unit performance, are presented to the Committee. The Committee exercises its discretion in modifying and approving any such recommendations. The Committee’s compensation actions are then submitted to the full Board for ratification and approval. Mr. Norwitt consults with the Committee on essentially all compensation matters but does not participate in the evaluation or determination of his own compensation.
Mr. Norwitt does not vote on any compensation matters considered by the Committee. However, he is available to the Committee as an additional resource to respond to questions and discuss individual and operating unit performance, as well as related compensation matters. The Committee also meets informally from time to time and in executive session following each meeting to discuss compensation matters without Company employees present.
Philosophy and Objectives of Compensation Program. The Committee continues to strive to develop, refine and implement a complete, consistent and straightforward compensation program that helps to attract, motivate and retain the executive officers and key management employees, and that remains competitive with comparable companies. The program is designed to promote decision making geared to increasing long-term shareholder value while avoiding excessive risk taking. The Committee believes that to further these objectives, executive compensation packages should include both cash and long-term equity-based compensation as well as reasonable benefits.
Elements of Compensation Program. The Committee endeavors to provide an appropriate mix of different elements of compensation, including finding a balance among (i) fixed versus at-risk compensation, (ii) current versus long-term compensation, (iii) cash versus equity-based compensation and (iv) basic benefits. Cash payments primarily reward current year performance and equity-based awards encourage key management employees, including the named executive officers, to continue to deliver results over a longer period of time and serve as a retention tool. The Committee generally strives to provide equity-based compensation at a level sufficient to drive an appropriate amount of focus on the long-term performance of

the Company. The compensation program for executive officers and key management employees, including the named executive officers, generally includes the following elements:
•
Base Salary
​
•
Performance-Based Incentive Plans
​
•
Stock Option Plans
​
•
Insurance Benefits
​
•
Retirement Benefits
​
Base Salary. The Company establishes base salary to provide fixed income at approximately the median level for executives of comparable companies with similar responsibilities. Several elements are considered in setting base salary, including the size, scope and complexity of the executive officer’s or key management employee’s responsibilities, as well as the tenure of the executive officer with the Company. Position, geography and economic and market conditions are also considered, particularly with respect to retention. Base salary must be reasonable, fair and competitive. The Committee also considers the historical, current and forecasted performance of the Company and individual operating units, and the contributions or expected contributions of each executive officer or key management employee to those results when considering proposed adjustments to base salary. Salary levels for all executive officers and key management employees are reviewed and typically adjusted annually. Salary levels are also typically reviewed and may be adjusted in connection with a change in job responsibilities.
Performance-Based Incentive Plans. Executive officers and key management employees, including the named executive officers (with the exception of key sales and marketing employees who typically have their own sales incentive or commission plans and from time-to-time certain key employees of newly acquired companies who had or have their own incentive plans), were eligible to receive annual cash payments pursuant to the 2022 Management Incentive Plan (the “2022 Management Incentive Plan”). The Committee has reviewed and approved the 2023 Management Incentive Plan (the “2023 Management Incentive Plan”) with terms that are substantially the same as the 2022 Management Incentive Plan. The 2022 Management Incentive Plan and the 2023 Management Incentive Plan are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “incentive plan”. Target payments under the incentive plan when added to fixed base salary are intended to generate total annual cash compensation that the Company believes is reasonable, fair and competitive with annual cash compensation paid to similarly situated employees at other companies with comparable size and performance.
Incentive plan payments have historically totaled in the aggregate less than 2% of the annual consolidated operating income for the Company. There were approximately 525 participants in the 2022 Management Incentive Plan. Payouts under the 2022 Management Incentive Plan totaled approximately $37 million representing approximately 1.5% of the Company’s Adjusted Operating Income for 2022. There are currently approximately 550 participants in the 2023 Management Incentive Plan who, at achievement of 100% of 2023 performance targets and goals, would be paid an aggregate of approximately $26 million.
The incentive plan provides participants with a cash bonus if certain operating unit and/or Company goals are achieved. A “responsibility unit” in the discussion below refers to the group or business unit for which the employee has management responsibility or to which he or she is assigned. For executive officers and key management employees with global headquarters roles (i.e., Company-wide responsibilities), such as Messrs. Norwitt and Lampo, the Company is considered the responsibility unit. For Messrs. Walter, Doherty and Gavelle, the division over which each served as Division President in 2022 is considered the relevant responsibility unit. The incentive plan is intended to reward participants upon the achievement of the goals for their respective responsibility unit, with discretion for qualitative individual, operating unit and Company performance factors. No annual incentive payments will be made if a threshold performance level of profitability is not achieved for the relevant responsibility unit, absent the occurrence of extenuating circumstances that, in the discretion of the Committee, merit an exception to the threshold profitability performance requirement. As a general rule, no incentive plan payment is made to employees with Company-wide responsibilities if Adjusted Diluted EPS declines year-over-year nor to other employees if the operating income of their respective responsibility unit declines year-over-year.
33

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Incentive plan payment amounts are calculated by multiplying three factors together: (i) a participant’s annual base salary, (ii) a participant’s incentive plan target percentage and (iii) a participant’s incentive plan multiplier.
Incentive plan target percentages for each participant are generally established at the beginning of each year. Incentive plan target percentages for participants in the 2022 Management Incentive Plan ranged from 5% to 150% of annual base salary.
The incentive plan multiplier is determined for each participant after the end of each year by analyzing a number of quantitative factors, subject to qualitative adjustment, as discussed in more detail below. The maximum incentive plan multiplier any recipient may be awarded is 200%. The incentive plan does not guarantee any minimum incentive plan multiplier to any participant. For 2022, participants received incentive plan multipliers ranging from 0% to 200%.
A participant’s incentive plan multiplier is based primarily on responsibility unit financial performance against quantitative measures established at the beginning of each year. In addition, adjustments are made, when appropriate, for certain qualitative factors as well as for reasonableness and consistency. The quantitative portion of the incentive plan multiplier is contingent upon the Company’s achievement and/or the applicable responsibility unit’s achievement of performance targets and/or goals.

​ | ​ | ​ | Responsibility Unit Achievement | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | Sales Growth | ​ | ​ | EPS/Operating Income Growth | ​ | ​ | Incentive Plan Multiplier | ​
Threshold | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​ | ​
Target | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 7% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 11% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 100% | ​ | ​
Maximum | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 17.5% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 27.5% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 200% | ​ | ​

The Company continues to believe that the key drivers to generating shareholder value are revenue growth, operating income growth and EPS growth. In 2022 the quantitative performance criteria for (i) participants with Company-wide responsibilities was based on Company revenue and Adjusted Diluted EPS growth in 2022 over 2021 and (ii) other participants was based on responsibility unit revenue and operating income growth in 2022 over 2021 adjusted for actual operating income in 2022 as compared to 2022 operating income budget. Revenue growth and operating income growth are calculated on a constant currency basis.
The specific targets to be achieved by Messrs. Norwitt and Lampo to attain a 100% quantitative portion of the incentive plan multiplier in 2022 were (i) Company revenue growth of at least 7%, and (ii) Company Adjusted Diluted EPS growth of at least 11%. To achieve a 200% quantitative portion of the incentive plan multiplier in 2022 would have required Company revenue growth of at least 17.5% and Company Adjusted Diluted EPS growth of at least 27.5%. In calculating the incentive plan multiplier, Company revenue growth and Company Adjusted Diluted EPS growth are given equal weighting.
The specific targets to be achieved by Messrs. Walter, Doherty and Gavelle to attain a 100% incentive plan multiplier under the 2022 incentive plan were (i) responsibility unit revenue growth of at least 7% and (ii) responsibility unit operating income growth of at least 11%. In addition, for executives that do not have global headquarters roles, such as Messrs. Walter, Doherty and Gavelle, the incentive plan multiplier is adjusted up or down based on achievement to operating income budget. To achieve a 200% quantitative portion of the incentive plan multiplier under the incentive plan in 2022 would have required responsibility unit revenue growth of at least 17.5% and responsibility unit operating income growth of at least 27.5%. In calculating the incentive plan multiplier, responsibility unit operating income growth and responsibility unit revenue growth are given equal weighting.
If Adjusted Diluted EPS or operating income, as applicable, decline, the impact to the incentive plan multiplier is at the discretion of the Committee, but generally has resulted in an overall incentive plan multiplier of 0%.
Once the quantitative portion of the incentive plan multiplier is established, management and/or the Committee, as applicable, consider various qualitative factors and may adjust the incentive plan multiplier
34

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​
accordingly. The qualitative analysis is designed to ensure that a participant is rewarded for responsibility unit performance and individual performance, but also to provide a means to ensure the awards are fair and meet the other goals of the Committee in determining executive compensation. The qualitative portion of the incentive plan may include one or more of the following factors: whether operating margins of the responsibility unit are above or below the average of the Company, balance sheet management including cash flow, operating unit and group contribution to total Company performance, risk management, contributions of responsibility unit to achieving the Company’s sustainability goals, including environmental, social and climate-related targets, industry performance, special market conditions, budget impact and any other factor that the Committee deems relevant under the circumstances.
In 2023 there is no change in the quantitative performance criteria for the 2023 Management Incentive Plan as compared to the 2022 Management Incentive Plan.
Stock Option Plans. In May 2017, stockholders approved and the Company adopted the 2017 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol and Subsidiaries (the “Original 2017 Option Plan”) and in May 2021, stockholders approved and the Company adopted the Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol and Subsidiaries (together with the Original 2017 Option Plan, the “2017 Option Plan”). Granting stock options is a simple means to maintain the alignment of the interests of the Company’s executive officers and key management employees with its stockholders and allows executive officers and key management employees to participate in the long-term growth and profitability of the Company. The Committee believes that granting stock options helps create competitive levels of compensation and provides an opportunity for increased equity ownership by executive officers and key management employees (including the named executive officers). All currently outstanding employee stock option grants have a five-year vesting period, with 20% vesting each year. The Committee believes this extended vesting schedule helps retain executive officers and key management employees and encourages them to make decisions that achieve a healthy balance between short and long-term Company performance. The total expense for options granted each year is typically in the range of approximately 3% to 5% of the Company’s annual budgeted consolidated operating income for such year.
The employee stock option plan is administered by the Committee. The Committee will consider recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior management employees of the Company and determine those employees of Amphenol and its subsidiaries who will be eligible to receive options, the number and the terms and conditions of each option grant, the form of the option agreement and any conditions on the exercise of an option award.
In determining the number of options to be granted to an individual employee, a value is imputed for each option, with reference to the Company’s then current stock price and the Black-Scholes valuation of each option granted. The Committee also considers information regarding the total amount of options available, an individual’s base salary, the amount of stock options, if any, previously awarded to an individual, an individual’s past and expected future contributions to the Company’s financial performance and an individual’s responsibilities for assisting the Company in achieving its long-term strategic goals. The Committee also considers the estimated dilutive effect of options granted each year.
The Committee has historically made annual awards of stock options in the second quarter of each year. Newly hired or promoted executive officers or key management employees have on occasion received an award of stock options at or near the date of appointment. The Committee does not grant stock options with an exercise price that is less than the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date.
Insurance Benefits. Each executive officer and key management employee (including the U.S.-based named executive officers) is offered the same health and life insurance benefits as other employees working at the same location. The Company also makes a contribution to group term life insurance on behalf of substantially all U.S.-based salaried employees (including the U.S.-based named executive officers) on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated U.S.-based salaried employees for which the Company is required to impute compensation for amounts in excess of $50,000 net of employee payments, see table of All Other Compensation under footnote (4) on page 45. Key management employees outside of the U.S. participate in the same insurance programs on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated salaried employees.
Retirement Benefits. U.S.-based salaried employees (including the U.S.-based named executive officers) may participate in the Company’s Pension Plan, Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan, or SERP, a
35

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​
non-qualified supplemental defined contribution program, or DC SERP, and in the Company’s 401(k) programs on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated U.S.-based salaried employees. For more information on the Pension Plan, the SERP, the DC SERP and 401(k) programs, and each named executive officer’s participation, see the section entitled Pensions and Deferred Compensation beginning on page 49. As certain of the retirement programs are unfunded, i.e. the SERP and the DC SERP, the Company’s executives are incentivized to look after the long-term health of the Company. Key management employees outside of the U.S. participate in the same retirement programs on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated salaried employees.
Perquisites/Other. Mr. Norwitt was provided with car and driver services in 2022. Mr. Norwitt continues to receive car and driver services in 2023. No other perquisites were provided to the named executive officers in 2022 or are planned in 2023.
Compensation of Named Executive Officers
Company Performance — When reviewing compensation, the Committee reviewed the Company’s 2022 financial results. The Company’s 2022 financial results were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reported in the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to reviewing relevant GAAP financial measures, the Committee considered non-GAAP measures which it believes are also relevant in gauging year-over-year performance. Thus, Constant Currency Net Sales Growth, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS and other non-GAAP measures are referenced in this proxy statement.1
In 2022, the Company achieved record net sales of $12.623 billion, which grew by 16% in U.S. Dollars and 19% in constant currency compared to $10.876 billion in 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, GAAP Diluted EPS was $3.06, compared to $2.51 for the year ended December 31, 2021. GAAP Diluted EPS in 2022 included (i) excess tax benefits of $56.0 million ($0.09 per share) related to stock-based compensation resulting from stock option exercises, partially offset by (ii) acquisition-related expenses of $21.5 million ($18.4 million after-tax, or $0.03 per share) comprised primarily of the amortization related to the value associated with acquired backlog resulting from two acquisitions that closed in 2022, along with external transaction costs. GAAP Diluted EPS in 2021 included (i) excess tax benefits of $63.4 million ($0.10 per share) related to stock-based compensation resulting from stock option exercises and (ii) a discrete tax benefit of $14.9 million ($0.02 per share) related to the settlement of uncertain tax positions in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, all of which was partially offset by (iii) acquisition-related expenses of $70.4 million ($57.3 million after-tax, or $0.09 per share) comprised primarily of transaction, severance, restructuring and certain non-cash purchase accounting costs related to the acquisition of MTS Systems Corporation in the second quarter of 2021 along with external transaction costs and certain non-cash purchase accounting costs related to the acquisition of Halo Technology Limited in the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding the effects of these items, 2022 Adjusted Diluted EPS was $3.00 representing 21% growth compared to $2.48 in 2021.
The non-GAAP financial measures defined below should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. See Part II, Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details. Non-GAAP financial measures related to net sales exclude the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions. Non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable

(1) Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In addition to assessing the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, management and the Committee utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures defined below when assessing employee compensation measures. Management and the Committee believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance, trends and year-over-year comparative results, in addition to the reasons noted below. Non-GAAP financial measures related to operating income, operating margin, net income from continuing operations attributable to Amphenol Corporation, effective tax rate and diluted EPS from continuing operations exclude income and expenses that are not directly related to the Company’s operating performance during the applicable time period. Items excluded in the presentation of such non-GAAP financial measures in any period may consist of, without limitation, acquisition-related expenses, refinancing-related costs, and certain discrete tax items including but not limited to (i) the excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and (ii) the impact of significant changes in tax law.

GAAP financial measures presented herein are on a continuing operations basis only and exclude any results associated with discontinued operations. The non-GAAP financial information contained herein is included for supplemental purposes only and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for or superior to the related GAAP financial measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily the same or comparable to similar measures presented by other companies as such measures may be calculated differently or may exclude different items.
•
Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (as reported in accordance with GAAP), excluding income and expenses and their specific tax effects that are not directly related to the Company’s operating performance during the years presented. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations attributable to Amphenol Corporation, as defined below, divided by the weighted average outstanding diluted shares as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
​
•
Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations attributable to Amphenol Corporation is defined as Net income from continuing operations attributable to Amphenol Corporation, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income, each excluding income and expenses and their specific tax effects that are not directly related to the Company’s operating performance during the years presented.
​
•
Adjusted Operating Income is defined as Operating income, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income, excluding income and expenses that are not directly related to the Company’s operating performance during the years presented.
​
•
Adjusted Operating Margin is defined as Adjusted Operating Income (as defined above) expressed as a percentage of Net sales (as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income).
​
•
Constant Currency Net Sales Growth is defined as the year-over-year percentage change in net sales growth, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s results are subject to volatility related to foreign currency translation fluctuations. As such, management evaluates the Company’s sales performance based on actual sales growth in U.S. dollars, as well as Organic Net Sales Growth (defined below) and Constant Currency Net Sales Growth, and believes that such information is useful to investors to assess the underlying sales trends.
​
•
Free Cash Flow is defined as (i) Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations (“Operating Cash Flow”—as reported in accordance with GAAP) less (ii) capital expenditures (as reported in accordance with GAAP), net of proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment (as reported in accordance with GAAP), all of which are derived from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure for the Company, as we believe it is useful for management and investors to assess our ability to generate cash, as well as to assess how much cash can be used to reinvest in the growth of the Company or to return to stockholders through either stock repurchases or dividends.
​
•
Organic Net Sales Growth is defined as the year-over-year percentage change in net sales growth resulting from operating volume and pricing changes, and excludes the impact of (i) changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which is outside the control of the Company, and (ii) acquisitions, both of which are taken as a percentage of the respective prior year period(s) net sales. The acquisition impact represents the percentage impact on net sales resulting from acquisitions that have not been included in the Company’s consolidated results for the full current year period(s) and/or prior comparable year period(s) presented. Such net sales related to these acquisitions do not reflect the underlying growth of the Company on a comparative basis. Management evaluates the Company’s sales performance based on actual sales growth in U.S. dollars, as well as Constant Currency Net Sales Growth and Organic Net Sales Growth, and believes that such information is useful to investors to assess the underlying sales trends.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Pay Mix — Compensation programs for the named executive officers emphasize at-risk, performance-based elements geared to encourage management to generate long-term shareholder value, namely stock options and annual incentive plan compensation linked to goals that encourage growth in revenue, operating income and/or Adjusted Diluted EPS. Fixed compensation elements, such as base salary, retirement benefits and other compensation are designed to be market competitive for purposes of retention, and to a lesser extent, recruitment.
For the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, fixed compensation elements including salary and “all other compensation” comprised approximately 13% of his total 2022 compensation. His at-risk compensation linked to increasing shareholder value comprised approximately 87% of his total 2022 compensation. These at-risk elements include stock options granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant which only generate value if the Company’s share price increases after the grant date. The value ascribed to the options for purposes of calculating percentages in this paragraph is the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718, as further described in footnote (1) to the Summary Compensation Table on page 44. The other at-risk compensation is annual incentive-plan compensation which historically has not paid out if Adjusted Diluted EPS declines, and rewards the Chief Executive Officer when Company revenues and Adjusted Diluted EPS grow. For the Company’s other named executive officers as a group, fixed compensation elements comprised approximately 18% of total 2022 compensation while at-risk compensation comprised approximately 82% of total 2022 compensation. As with the Chief Executive Officer, the fixed compensation elements for the other named executive officers include salary, retirement benefits and “all other compensation”, while the at-risk items include stock options and annual incentive plan compensation linked to goals that encourage growth in revenues and either Adjusted Diluted EPS or operating income, depending on the role of the named executive officer.
2022 Management Incentive Plan Determination. As described in the section entitled Performance-Based Incentive Plans above, the incentive plan multiplier is based primarily on responsibility unit financial performance. The Company continues to believe that the key drivers to generating shareholder value are revenue growth, operating income growth and EPS growth. In 2022 the quantitative performance criteria for (i) participants with global headquarters roles was based on Company revenue and Adjusted Diluted EPS growth in 2022 over 2021 and (ii) other participants was based on responsibility unit revenue and operating income growth in 2022 over 2021, adjusted for actual responsibility unit operating income in 2022 as compared to responsibility unit operating income budget. For 2022, the budgeted operating income performance adjustment did not impact the final incentive plan multiplier for Messrs. Doherty and Gavelle, whereas Mr. Walter’s incentive plan multiplier was increased slightly due to responsibility unit operating income growth that exceeded his 2022 responsibility unit operating income budget. Revenue growth and operating income growth are calculated on a constant currency basis for all participants. Based on the above, the incentive plan multipliers for our named executive officers in 2022 were determined as follows:

CEO Compensation. Mr. Norwitt’s annual base salary at the beginning of 2023 was increased by 4% from $1,400,000 to $1,456,000. Mr. Norwitt’s annual incentive plan target percentage pursuant to the 2023 Management Incentive Plan remains at 150%. In its deliberations about whether and how to adjust these two elements of Mr. Norwitt’s compensation, the Committee concluded that Mr. Norwitt’s base salary should be increased in line with the average increase generally given to other salaried employees of the Company in the United States and the incentive plan target percentage should remain at 150% to continue to emphasize incentive compensation. In arriving at its conclusions, the Committee also considered the annual base salary and target bonus percentages of chief executive officers of similarly-sized companies based on information provided by Meridian.
Based on calculations described in the section entitled Performance-Based Incentive Plans above, the quantitative portion of Mr. Norwitt’s incentive plan multiplier in 2022 was calculated to be 180%, the same percentage calculated for all named executive officers and key management employees with global headquarters roles. His incentive plan payment pursuant to the 2022 Management Incentive Plan was therefore $3,780,000, representing a product of his 2022 base salary of $1,400,000 multiplied by his incentive plan target percentage of 150%, multiplied by the global headquarters incentive plan multiplier of 180%. This compared to a maximum possible payout under the 2022 Management Incentive Plan of $4,200,000.
In May 2022, Mr. Norwitt was awarded 505,084 options pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan with an exercise price of $67.59 and a grant date value of $8,424,801. The option award reflects the Board’s confidence in his leadership and is designed to further align Mr. Norwitt’s interests with the Company’s stockholders to generate long-term shareholder value. In granting this award to Mr. Norwitt, the Committee considered the Company’s strong performance through the COVID-19 pandemic, the substantial growth in the scale and complexity of the Company during Mr. Norwitt’s tenure as well as the importance of closely aligning Mr. Norwitt’s interests with those of the Company’s stockholders.
In 2022, Mr. Norwitt was provided with car and driver services. The Company expenses associated with this car and driver were $17,600. The imputed value of compensation for group term life insurance provided to Mr. Norwitt in 2022 in excess of $50,000, net of employee payments, was $5,382. The Company continues to provide Mr. Norwitt with car and driver services and to contribute to his group term life insurance in 2023.
Mr. Norwitt continues to participate in the Pension Plan (further described in the section entitled Pension Plan Background commencing on page 49), but his benefits under such Pension Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2006. In 2022, Mr. Norwitt received a 401(k) match of $18,300. The Company made notational contributions to a non-qualified supplemental defined contribution plan, or DC SERP, on behalf of

Mr. Norwitt for 2022 of $309,600. Mr. Norwitt continues to participate in the 401(k) Plan and the DC SERP in 2023.
Other Named Executive Officers’ Compensation. For each of the other named executive officers, in determining annual cash incentive plan payments and stock option awards for 2022, and base salary and incentive plan target adjustments for 2023, the Committee considered each executive’s overall performance, as well as relevant market data from Meridian. In the case of Mr. Lampo, the Committee evaluated the overall performance of the Company and his contributions to that performance. In the case of Messrs. Walter, Doherty and Gavelle, the Committee evaluated their contributions to the performance and results of the division over which each served as Division President.
Mr. Lampo. In January 2023, Mr. Lampo’s annual base salary was increased by approximately 5% from $650,000 to $680,000, in line with the average increase generally given to other salaried employees of the Company in the United States.
Based on calculations described in the section entitled Performance-Based Incentive Plans above, the quantitative portion of Mr. Lampo’s incentive plan multiplier in 2022 was calculated to be 180%, the same percentage calculated for all named executive officers and key management employees with global headquarters roles. His incentive plan payment pursuant to the 2022 Management Incentive Plan was therefore $936,000, representing a product of his 2022 base salary of $650,000 multiplied by his incentive plan target percentage of 80%, multiplied by the global headquarters incentive plan multiplier of 180%. This compared to a maximum possible payout under the 2022 Management Incentive Plan of $1,040,000.
Mr. Lampo’s incentive plan target percentage pursuant to the 2023 Management Incentive Plan remains at 80% of his base salary, which represents a continued emphasis on performance-based compensation. His potential 2023 Management Incentive Plan payment will range from 0% to 160% of his base salary. This variable, at-risk compensation is designed to incentivize performance in line with the core goal of increasing revenue and profit growth for the Company.
In May 2022, Mr. Lampo was awarded 161,000 options pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan with an exercise price of $67.59 and a grant date value of $2,685,480.

In 2023, the Company continues to contribute to Mr. Lampo’s group term life insurance. Mr. Lampo continues to participate in the Pension Plan, but his benefits under such Pension Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2006 as described in the section entitled Pension Plan Background commencing on page 49. In 2022, Mr. Lampo received a 401(k) match of $18,300. The Company made notational contributions to the DC SERP on behalf of Mr. Lampo for 2022 of $80,700. He also continues to participate in the 401(k) plan and the DC SERP in 2023.
Mr. Walter. In January 2023, Mr. Walter’s annual base salary was increased by approximately 4% from $725,000 to $755,000, in line with the average increase generally given to other salaried employees of the Company in the United States.
Mr. Walter’s payment pursuant to the 2022 Management Incentive Plan was $1,005,938, representing the product of his 2022 base salary of $725,000 multiplied by his incentive plan target percentage of 75%, multiplied by his incentive plan multiplier of 185%. This compared to a maximum possible payout under the 2022 Management Incentive Plan of $1,087,500.
Mr. Walter’s incentive plan target percentage pursuant to the 2023 Management Incentive Plan remains at 75% of his base salary, which represents a continued emphasis on performance-based compensation.

In 2006, the Company amended its Pension Plan by freezing accruals effective December 31, 2006 for certain personnel below the age of 50 and/or with certain years of service with the Company. Simultaneously, the Company implemented employer contributions to the Amphenol 401(k) Plan and to a related non-qualified supplemental defined contribution plan, or DC SERP, for those same individuals and for certain new hires. Beginning in 2007, Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter no longer accrue any additional benefits under the Pension Plan. In 2022, there was a decrease in pension values for Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter of $59,300, 18,000 and $185,900, respectively, because of changes in actuarial assumptions in 2022 as compared to 2021; in 2021, there was a decrease in pension values for Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter of $10,600, $3,100 and $22,600, respectively, because of changes in actuarial assumptions in 2021 as compared to 2020. Notwithstanding that their pension benefits were frozen effective December 31, 2006, the value of the frozen benefits fluctuates as related actuarial assumptions change. The changes in pension value in each case represent the increase and decrease, respectively, in the actuarial present value of their respective benefits under the Pension Plan. For years in which changes in actuarial assumptions result in a decrease in pension value, rather than report a negative number, a change of $0 is reported.
​
Messrs. Doherty and Gavelle do not participate in the Pension Plan.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
Section 162(m) of the Code places a limit of $1,000,000 per person on the amount of compensation that a public company may deduct in any year with respect to certain current or former executive officers. The Compensation Committee believes that stockholder interests are best served by not restricting the Committee’s flexibility in structuring compensation plans, even though such plans may result in non-deductible compensation expenses. Accordingly, achieving the desired flexibility in the design and delivery of compensation may result in compensation that in certain cases is not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Employment Agreements
In conjunction with accepting each stock option award, all option award recipients, including each of the named executive officers, becomes party to a stock option agreement with the Company which contemplates, among other things, that a terminated employee may be paid, at the Company’s discretion, fifty percent of base salary in the form of salary continuation following his/her termination for up to two years, in exchange for a firm undertaking from the terminated employee not to compete with the business of the Company.
Pursuant to an employment letter agreement with the Company dated March 22, 1999, the Company has agreed that if Mr. Walter is terminated by the Company without cause, the Company is obligated to (i) pay him lump sum severance equal to 100% of the base compensation he received in the twelve-month period preceding his termination and (ii) relocate him to France if he so chooses.
Except as set forth above, none of the named executive officers are parties to any employment agreements with the Company.
Stock Option Plans
In May 2017, stockholders approved and the Company adopted the 2017 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol and Subsidiaries (the “Original 2017 Option Plan”) and in May 2021,

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
stockholders approved and the Company adopted the Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol and Subsidiaries (together with the Original 2017 Option Plan, the “2017 Option Plan”). While options remain outstanding under the 2009 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol and Subsidiaries, as amended (the “2009 Option Plan”), the Company ceased granting options under the 2009 Option Plan at the time the 2017 Option Plan was adopted. The 2009 Option Plan and the 2017 Option Plan are collectively referred to herein as the “Company’s Option Plans”. The Company’s Option Plans provide for the granting of an option to purchase shares not intended or not qualifying as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
No options can be granted at less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. The Company is not able to grant any restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, performance units, performance shares or any other stock-based grants other than non-qualified options under the Company’s Option Plans, and stockholder approval is required for any material amendments. Option awards vest in equal annual installments over a five-year period and have a ten-year term. In the event of a death or disability (as defined in the plans), assuming the minimum service requirements have been satisfied, a participant will immediately vest in all outstanding options. The Compensation Committee has discretion to allow continued vesting of unvested options following termination of employment due to retirement at age 65 or older with at least five years of employment with the Company or following termination of employment due to retirement at age 55 or older with at least ten years of employment with the Company. Vesting stops under most other termination situations.
A total of 6,389,410 options were granted under the 2017 Option Plan in May 2022 at an exercise price of $67.59 to approximately 880 employees of the Company including the named executive officers. An aggregate of 640,522 options at exercise prices ranging from $63.75 to $86.50 were also granted under the 2017 Option Plan at other times in 2022 to other employees. The 2017 Option Plan limits the number of options that may be granted to any one participant in any fiscal year to not more than 3,000,000 options, which may be doubled during the first fiscal year a participant commences employment with the Company and/or its subsidiaries.
Of the 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan, 36,836,583 shares are available for future option grants as of March 31, 2023.
The exercise prices of the 9,931,189 options outstanding as of March 31, 2023 under the 2009 Option Plan range from $19.50 to $32.43. The exercise prices of the 53,609,879 options outstanding as of March 31, 2023 under the 2017 Option Plan range from $36.45 to $86.50. On March 31, 2023, the market value per share of Common Stock was $81.72 (determined by reference to the closing price listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Composite Tape).
Repricing of Options/Granting of SARs
During the last fiscal year, the Company did not reprice any options nor did it grant any SARs. The Company’s Option Plans do not provide for the granting of SARs or any other stock-based grants.

Reflects the possible payouts under the Company’s 2022 Management Incentive Plan. The 2022 Management Incentive Plan is a single-year plan with a single-year performance measure that became final and effective when approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in February 2022 and terminated December 31, 2022. This plan is described in more detail in Performance-Based Incentive Plans on page 33. The non-equity incentive plan compensation for 2022 for all plan participants including the named executive officers was paid in January 2023. Amounts actually paid to the named executive officers are indicated in the Summary Compensation Table on page 44.

Reflects the full grant date fair value of the option awards granted on January 3, 2022 or May 19, 2022, as indicated in the table, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies; Stock-Based Compensation and Note 7—Equity; Stock-Based Compensation; Stock Options to the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except that rules of the SEC require that the amounts shown in this table and its footnotes exclude the impact of assumed forfeitures, if any, related to service based vesting conditions. The amounts reflected in this column do not correspond to the actual value that may be recognized by the named executive officers when these options are actually exercised.

PENSIONS AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Pension Plan
Pension Plan Background. Certain employees of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Pension Plan for Employees of Amphenol Corporation, referred to as the Pension Plan, which is a defined benefit pension plan. Benefits are calculated based on the section of the Pension Plan in which an employee participates. The Company also sponsors a supplemental employee retirement plan (the “SERP”) which provides for the payment of the portion of an annual pension which cannot be paid from the Pension Plan as a result of limitations contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”).
In 2006, the Company amended the Pension Plan by freezing accruals effective December 31, 2006 for personnel with less extensive service (referred to as the “non-grandfathered participants”). In connection with the freezing of accruals under the Pension Plan, beginning in 2007, the Company implemented employer contributions to the Amphenol 401(k) Plan and to a related non-qualified supplemental defined contribution plan for non-grandfathered participants and certain new employees of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries. Grandfathered participants will continue to accrue incremental benefits under the Pension Plan and the SERP and will continue to be eligible to participate in the Amphenol 401(k) plan with no employer contributions.
Messrs. Doherty and Gavelle do not participate in the Pension Plan or the SERP. The other named executive officers participate in the Pension Plan and the SERP as non-grandfathered participants. Non-employee directors do not participate in the Pension Plan, although Messrs. Loeffler and Jepsen participated in the Pension Plan and the SERP during their prior employment with the Company.
General Provisions of the Pension Plan. The normal retirement date under the Pension Plan is the first day of the month following a participant’s 65 th birthday. A participant may also retire as of the first day of any month subsequent to the participant’s 55 th birthday and completion of either five or ten years of service, however, a participant’s normal retirement benefit is reduced by as much as 50% if payment of retirement benefits commences upon early retirement. Retirement benefits are paid in the form of a life annuity (generally a reduced joint and survivor annuity for married participants). The Company has a policy that prohibits granting extra years of credited service under the Pension Plan.
For the section of the Pension Plan in which Mr. Norwitt participated, the annual normal retirement benefit is equal to the greater of: (i) 1.1% of the participant’s final average pensionable compensation multiplied by the participant’s years of credited service or (ii) 1.8% of the participant’s final average pensionable compensation multiplied by the participant’s years of credited service not in excess of 25 (1% for years in excess of 25) reduced by 2% of the participant’s estimated annual social security benefit multiplied by the participant’s years of credited service not in excess of 30. Average pensionable compensation is equal to the participant’s average annual total compensation, excluding bonuses and incentive plan payments, during the three years prior to the Pension Plan being frozen.
For the section of the Pension Plan in which Messrs. Lampo and Walter participated, the annual normal retirement benefit is equal to the greater of: (i) 2% of the participant’s final average pensionable compensation multiplied by the participant’s years of credited service not in excess of 25 less 2% of the participant’s estimated annual social security benefit multiplied by the participant’s years of credited service not in excess of 25 or
49

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
(ii) 1.5% of average pensionable compensation multiplied by credited service not in excess of 15 years. Average pensionable compensation is equal to the participant’s average annual compensation, including bonuses and incentive payments, during the five years immediately prior to the Pension Plan being frozen.
Mr. Walter’s Retirement Benefit Assuming He Elects Early Retirement. Mr. Walter meets the age and service requirements for early retirement under his section of the Pension Plan. If Mr. Walter were to have elected early retirement as of December 31, 2022, he could have elected to receive his accrued benefit starting at age 65 or a reduced benefit commencing as of his retirement date. The reduced benefit would be equal to the benefit that would otherwise be payable at his normal retirement date ($2,449 per month payable from the Pension Plan and $2,788 per month payable from the SERP), reduced by 1/180 th for each of the first 60 months and by 1/360 th for each of the months more than 60 by which Mr. Walter’s hypothetical early retirement date precedes his normal retirement date (i.e. 5 months). Using this formula, Mr. Walter’s early retirement benefit, if he had elected early retirement as of December 31, 2022, would have been $2,381 per month payable from the Pension Plan and $2,711 per month payable from the SERP.

Pension Plan and 401(k) Plan. Beginning on January 1, 2007, non-grandfathered participants in the Pension Plan, including Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter, and most U.S.-based employees who were not participants in the Pension Plan as of December 31, 2006, including Mr. Doherty, have been provided a Company contribution to their Company qualified 401(k) savings plan (the “Amphenol 401(k) Plan”) accounts. In 2022, the Company contribution was equal to 3% of their covered earnings (for which no employee contribution is required) and in addition the Company matched 50% of the employee’s first 6% contribution of their covered earnings. Covered earnings include base salary and incentive plan compensation. Beginning in 2023, the Company contribution was increased to 4%, and the Company increased its match to 50% of the employee’s first 8% contribution.
Pursuant to the Amphenol 401(k) Plan, during the first four years of a participant’s employment with the Company, the employer contribution vests 25% per year for each year of service. After four full years of employment with the Company, the employer contribution is fully vested. Each of Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo, Doherty and Walter are fully vested in all employer contributions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
The Company also sponsors a non-qualified supplemental defined contribution plan (the “DC SERP”) for selected non-grandfathered participants in the Amphenol 401(k) Plan. Each of our named executive officers except Mr. Gavelle participates in the DC SERP. Participants in the DC SERP are credited with an 8% employer contribution on compensation in excess of the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Each participating named executive officer is also permitted to defer up to 8% of his estimated compensation in excess of the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code to a DC SERP account. A participant may elect to defer base salary and non-equity incentive plan compensation under the DC SERP and a participant’s election to defer compensation is made prior to the beginning of each year and is binding for the applicable year. The participant concurrently selects the timing of the distribution of their deferred compensation. Distributions may occur upon termination of employment (which could include retirement, death or disability) or upon a specified future date while still employed (an “in-service distribution”), as elected by the participant. For the named executive officers, any distribution payable on account of termination of employment will not occur until after six months following termination of employment pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Compensation deferred by participants and any matching contributions made by the Company are credited to a bookkeeping account that represents the Company’s unsecured obligation to repay the participant in the future.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
The amount of compensation that may be payable to each named executive officer upon voluntary termination, early retirement, normal retirement, involuntary not-for-cause termination, for-cause termination, termination following a change of control and in the event of disability or death of the executive is shown on the tables on pages 54-56. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2022, and thus include amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts which could have been paid out to the named executive officers in connection with their termination. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined in the event of and at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company.
Payments Made Upon Termination. Regardless of the manner in which a named executive officer’s employment is terminated, he or she is entitled to receive amounts earned during his or her term of employment. Such amounts might include:
•
unused vacation pay;
​
•
amounts accrued and vested through the Company’s retirement plans;
​
•
statutory entitlements; and
​
•
non-equity incentive compensation relating to the fiscal year.
​
Payments Made Upon Retirement. The plan administrator (currently the Compensation Committee) has the discretion to decide if options will continue to vest following normal retirement at age 65 with at least five years of employment with the Company or upon early retirement at or after age 55 with more than 10 years of employment with the Company. None of the named executive officers is currently eligible for normal retirement. Messrs. Walter and Doherty are eligible for early retirement with more than 10 years of employment with the Company.
Payments Made Upon Involuntary Not for Cause Termination or Involuntary for Good Reason Termination. In the event of involuntary not for cause termination or involuntary for good reason termination of any employee, including a named executive officer, in addition to the benefits which might be made as reflected under the heading Payments Made Upon Termination above, the Board has the discretion to decide if options that are not vested at the time of such termination shall vest and the terms of such vesting. The disclosure in the tables below for involuntary not for cause termination and involuntary for good reason termination assumes that the Board has exercised its discretion to continue vesting of all such options.
Payments Made Upon a Change in Control. Pursuant to the 2009 Option Plan, immediately prior to a change in control (as defined in the plan), all outstanding options held by any employee, including a named executive officer, immediately vest and become exercisable at the discretion of the Board. Pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan, the plan administrator (currently the Compensation Committee) has discretion to accelerate options upon a change in control (as defined in the plan). The disclosure in the tables below relating to change in control assumes that the Board has exercised its discretion to cause all shares to vest.
Payments Made Upon Death or Disability. In the event of the death or disability of any employee, including a named executive officer, in addition to the benefits which might be made as reflected under the heading Payments Made Upon Termination above, he or she may receive benefits and/or payments under the group term life insurance plan and/or the Company funded disability plan, as appropriate. In the event of death or disability as defined in the Company’s Option Plans, assuming the minimum service requirements have been satisfied, all outstanding options held by such individual will immediately vest. The disclosure in the tables below reflects that the minimum service requirements for all named executive officers have been satisfied.
Health Care Benefits. The Company does not currently offer any of the named executive officers any enhanced health care benefits on termination for any reason.

(a)
In 2006, the Company amended its Pension Plan by freezing accruals effective December 31, 2006 for certain employees, including three of our 2022 NEOs that participated in the Pension Plan, Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter. Messrs. Doherty and Gavelle do not participate in the Pension Plan. In 2022, there was a decrease in pension values for Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter because of changes in actuarial assumptions in 2022 as compared to 2021. Notwithstanding that their pension benefits were frozen in 2006, the value of the frozen benefits fluctuates as related actuarial assumptions change. For years in which changes in actuarial assumptions result in a decrease in pension value, rather than report a negative number, a change of $0 is reported, as was the case in the Summary Compensation Table for 2022 compensation.
​
(b)
Because the Pension Plan has been frozen for each of our participating NEOs since 2006, the reportable service cost for 2022 is $0.

Pay Versus Performance Tabular List
We believe the following performance measures represent the most important financial performance measures used by us to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022:

For our CEO and CFO | ​ | ​ | For our Division Presidents | ​
Net Sales Growth for the Company | ​ | ​ | Net Sales Growth for the relevant Division | ​
Adjusted Diluted EPS Growth | ​ | ​ | Adjusted Operating Income Growth for the relevant Division | ​
| ​ | ​ | Performance to Budget | ​

For additional details regarding our most important financial performance measures, please see Performance-Based Incentive Plans in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on page 33 and see Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 36 to see items excluded.
CEO PAY RATIO
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Norwitt, President and CEO (the “CEO”).
The Company is a vertically integrated manufacturer with extensive labor-intensive operations in numerous low-cost countries. As of December 31, 2022, we estimate that our employee population consisted of approximately 90,000 individuals globally, with a majority of those employees based in low-cost countries. The Company’s disclosed ratio may be higher relative to other companies which rely more heavily on outsourced production or otherwise source products and components from low-cost countries without operating their own manufacturing facilities. We believe our compensation levels are competitive with prevailing wage rates in the local markets in which we operate.
For 2022, our last completed fiscal year:
•
The annual total compensation of the employee identified at the median compensation level (the “Median Employee”) of the Company, other than the CEO, was $16,726.
​
•
The annual total compensation of the employee identified at the median compensation level (the “Median US Employee”) of US based employees of the Company, other than the CEO, was $55,333.
​
61

TABLE OF CONTENTS
•
The annual total compensation of the CEO for purposes of determining the CEO Pay Ratio was $13,955,683.
​
Based on this information, for 2022, the ratio of the annual total compensation of the CEO to the annual total compensation of the Median Employee was estimated to be 834:1 and the ratio of the annual total compensation of the CEO to annual total compensation of the Median US Employee was estimated to be 252:1.
The pay ratios above are reasonable estimates calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodologies described below. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. Moreover, there are a number of factors which make a meaningful comparison of pay ratios difficult, such as industry specific pay differentials, the geographic location of employee populations and a company’s manufacturing strategy (e.g., outsourcing versus insourcing).
To identify the Median Employee, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of the Median Employee, the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates that we used were as follows.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company completed a process of collecting surveys of compensation data from our global sites because the Company does not have a global Human Resources Information System (“HRIS”). The data provided statistical sampling of the average total compensation for direct labor, indirect labor, and salaried employees from 180 of our estimated 240 operating sites representing all regions globally, particularly where our headcount is the greatest. These data were sorted and it was determined that based on our representative survey and with consideration to our global headcount, the Median Employee was a direct labor employee in one of our China plants with a total annual compensation (determined in accordance with the summary compensation table rules) of $16,726 (based on the average US dollar to RMB exchange rate for 2022 of 0.1488 as reported by Bloomberg).
We elected to not exclude any of our employees from the calculation based on the 5% “De Minimis Exemption” adjustment as permitted under SEC rules.
In addition, with respect to US-based employees, in 2022, the Company analyzed data directly from our HRIS in the United States which currently contains compensation information for all our employees in the United States, excluding our US-based employees who recently joined the Company via acquisition who have not yet been added to our HRIS system. Based on that data, the Median US Employee for 2022 (excluding the CEO) was determined to have annual total compensation of $55,333 (determined in accordance with the summary compensation table rules).

PROPOSAL 3. ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE
COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Board is asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2023 Annual Meeting:
RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby APPROVED.
The Board recommends a vote FOR this resolution because it believes that the compensation policies and practices of the Company described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis have been and continue to be effective in helping to achieve the Company’s goals of rewarding sustained financial and operating performance and leadership excellence, aligning the executive officers’ long-term interests with those of the stockholders and motivating the executive officers to remain with the Company for long and productive careers.
Stockholders are urged to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 31 of this proxy statement, as well as the Summary Compensation Table and related compensation tables and narrative, appearing on pages 44 through 62 which provide detailed information on the Company’s compensation policies and practices and the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.
This advisory resolution, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” resolution, is non-binding on the Board. Although non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results when evaluating the Company’s executive compensation program on an ongoing basis. The Board favors a policy of providing for annual say-on-pay advisory votes. The Board will consider the outcome of Proposal 4 below, but we anticipate that the next say-on-pay advisory vote will occur at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
At the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders overwhelmingly approved the “say-on-pay” proposal with 88% of the shares voted being cast in favor of the proposal.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE ADVISORY
RESOLUTION TO APPROVE COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

PROPOSAL 4. ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF
FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES TO APPROVE
COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
As described in Proposal 3 above, in accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, our stockholders have the opportunity to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. This Proposal 4 affords our stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on how often we should include an advisory vote to approve compensation of named executive officers or say-on-pay vote in our proxy materials for future annual stockholder meetings or any special stockholder meeting for which we must include executive compensation information in the proxy statement for that meeting. Under this Proposal 4, stockholders may vote to have the say-on-pay vote conducted every: one year, two years or three years.
The stockholders voted on a similar proposal in 2011 and 2017 with the majority voting to hold the say-on-pay vote every one year. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on the Company, the Board or the Compensation Committee. However, the Compensation Committee and the Board value the opinions expressed by stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions regarding the frequency of a say-on-pay vote.
Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years or abstain. The Board is recommending that the stockholders should vote for holding the advisory vote to approve compensation of named executive officers every one year. The Board believes this has become the predominant practice among similarly situated public companies.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has adopted a written policy for the review and approval of transactions and arrangements between the Company and the Company’s current directors, director nominees, current executive officers, greater than five percent stockholders, and their immediate family members. All transactions, regardless of amount, are required to be reported to and reviewed by the General Counsel of the Company who is required to report the results of his review to the Board or independent Directors, as appropriate. Following this review, the Board would determine whether any such transaction is in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, taking into consideration whether any such transaction is on terms no less favorable to the Company than those available with unrelated third parties and the related person’s interest in the transaction. As required under the rules of the SEC, transactions that are determined to be directly or indirectly material to the Company or a related person must be disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement.
Affiliates of FMR LLC (“Fidelity”) provide investment management services or other services in connection with the Company’s 401(k) programs, the SERP and the DC SERP. In 2022, with respect to the 401(k) program and DC SERP managed by Fidelity, (i) participants paid $2,955,501 (net) in mutual fund manager’s fees, and $430,759 in participant direct fees and (ii) the Company paid $14,319 in plan sponsor direct fees. In 2022, with respect to the pension plan and related SERP, the Company incurred $334,816 in asset management fees to Fidelity. The related investment management agreements were entered into on an arm’s-length basis.
The spouse of our director Anne Clarke Wolff joined the law firm of Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP as a partner in June 2022. In 2022, the Company paid legal fees and expenses of $5,443,435 to Faegre Drinker in connection with its representation of the Company in on-going litigation. Virtually all of these expenses were reimbursed by a third party pursuant to an indemnification agreement described more fully in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Amphenol and the indemnitor agreed Amphenol should engage Faegre Drinker to represent us in the relevant lawsuit at the time the litigation commenced in early 2020. Ms. Wolff’s spouse does not work on any Company-related matters.
No other related party transactions were identified during or subsequent to 2022 where the amount involved exceeded $120,000. As such, there are no other transactions to be reported in this proxy statement.
PROHIBITION ON SHORT SALES, TRANSACTIONS IN
DERIVATIVE SECURITIES AND HEDGING
The Company has a written policy prohibiting officers and directors from engaging in (i) short sales of the Company’s securities, (ii) transactions in puts, calls or other derivative securities involving the Company’s securities, (iii) hedging transactions involving the Company’s securities, (iv) purchases of the Company’s securities on margin (other than a cashless exercise of stock options under the Company’s equity plans), and (v) any pledges of the Company’s securities to secure margin or other loans.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​
STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES FOR
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS AND CERTAIN EXECUTIVES
The Company has adopted stock ownership guidelines for its non-employee directors and certain of its executive officers. Each non-employee director is encouraged to own shares of the Company having a total value equal to at least 3x the annual cash retainer for Board service. The CEO is required to own shares of the Company having a total value equal to at least 5x base salary. The CFO is required to own shares of the Company having a total value equal to at least 3x base salary. Any new non-employee director or CEO or CFO will have five years from the date of his/her appointment to attain the required level of stock ownership. For purposes of this requirement, 60% of the value (assuming a cashless exercise) of vested but unexercised stock options count in determining stock ownership. Stock ownership does not include unvested stock options. There may be rare instances where the stock ownership guidelines would place a severe financial hardship on the director or executive. The Compensation Committee of the Board may, in its discretion, modify the stock ownership requirements in special circumstances.
INVESTOR OUTREACH
Amphenol regularly engages 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. Through these engagements the Company has obtained valuable feedback. For example, in 2022, the Company adopted an amendment to the Company’s By-Laws to provide that in contested elections, directors will be elected under a plurality voting standard. This varies from the Company’s majority voting standard in uncontested elections. In addition, in 2016, the Board adopted an amendment to the Company’s By-Laws that, among other things, implemented “proxy access”, which, subject to the requirements of the By-Laws, permits any stockholder or group of up to 20 stockholders that beneficially owns at least 3% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock continuously for three years to nominate candidates for election to the Board and to require the Company to list such nominees in the Company’s proxy statement. In prior years, the Company has taken a variety of other significant actions in response to investor feedback, such as lowering the threshold to call special meetings of stockholders from 50% to 25%, declassifying the Board and providing for the annual election of directors, allowing stockholders to act by written consent and eliminating supermajority voting requirements in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws.
In 2022, in addition to our regular investor engagement, the Company also engaged with a number of other stakeholders on a variety of topics, including various ESG related topics.
The Company’s Board welcomes direct engagement with significant stockholders to discuss matters of interest to such stockholders. Any such an engagement can be arranged by calling Lance D’Amico, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, at (203) 265-8606.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG)
At Amphenol, we believe that making sustainable business choices, building strong relationships with our stakeholders and engaging in good corporate governance create long-term value for our Company. Whether through minimizing our and our partners’ environmental footprint, following humane labor practices, supporting the development and diversity of our global team, ensuring the strength and integrity of our supply chain or giving back to our communities, we have always believed that it is not just good stewardship, but good business to focus on the long-term sustainability of Amphenol. Throughout Amphenol, we have a shared commitment to create innovative products and enable technologies that improve the lives of people around the world, to support the well-being of our employees and communities and to sustain the health of our planet.
Our Board of Directors oversees the Company’s overall sustainability programs, including our annual Sustainability Report. The Audit Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibility for the “Environmental” portion of ESG, which includes (1) periodic reviews of the Company’s

The Compensation Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibility for the “Social” portion of ESG, which includes a periodic review of the Company’s DEI programs and performance. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee continues to be responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibility for the “Governance” portion of ESG. Amphenol’s ESG initiatives are governed by a number of policies that outline our related principles including in particular our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Environmental Policy, Global Human Rights Policy, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy and our Health and Safety Policy, all of which are available on our website.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
A stockholder has given the Company notice of the intent to introduce the following proposal for consideration and action by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
The stockholder proposal may contain assertions about the Company that the Company believes are incorrect. The Board has not attempted to refute all assertions and the Company has not corrected any errors in the stockholder proposal. The Company will provide the address and share ownership of the stockholder proponent upon request.
Proposal 5—Improve Political Spending Disclosure
Resolved, that the shareholders of Amphenol Corporation (“Amphenol” or “Company”) hereby request the Company to prepare and semiannually update a report, which shall be presented to the pertinent board of directors committee and posted on the Company’s website, disclosing the Company’s:
(a) Policies and procedures for making electoral contributions and expenditures (direct and indirect) with corporate funds, including the board’s role (if any) in that process; and
(b) Monetary and non-monetary contributions or expenditures that could not be deducted as an “ordinary and necessary” business expense under section 162(e)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, including (but not limited to) contributions or expenditures on behalf of candidates, parties, and committees and entities organized and operating under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as the portion of any dues or payments made to any tax-exempt organization (such as a trade association) used for an expenditure or contribution that, if made directly by the Company, would not be deductible under section 162(e)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The report shall be made available within 12 months of the annual meeting and identify all recipients and the amount paid to each recipient from Company funds. This proposal does not encompass lobbying spending.
Supporting Statement
As a long-term shareholder of Amphenol, I support transparency and accountability in corporate electoral spending. A company’s reputation, value, and bottom line can be adversely impacted by election spending conducted through third parties.
The Conference Board’s 2021 “Under a Microscope” report warns “a new era of stakeholder scrutiny, social media, and political polarization has propelled corporate political activity—and the risks that come with it—into the spotlight. Political activity can pose increasingly significant risks for companies, including the perception that political contributions—and other forms of activity—are at odds with core company values.”
Amphenol discloses a policy regarding most direct corporate contributions. This is deficient because Amphenol’s policy does not address or require disclosure of all direct and indirect corporate-funded election-related spending, including payments to 501 (c)(4) social welfare organizations, payments to trade associations, and payments to influence the outcome of ballot measures.
Information on indirect electoral spending through 501(c)(4) groups and trade associations cannot be obtained by shareholders unless the Company discloses it. This proposal asks the Company to disclose all of its electoral spending, direct and indirect. This would bring our company in line with a growing number of leading companies, including General Electric Company, Intel Corporation, and NVIDIA Corporation, which present this information on their websites.
Without knowing the recipients of our company’s political dollars our directors and we the shareholders cannot sufficiently assess whether our company’s election-related spending aligns with its policies and core values. We urge your support for this important governance reform.
Please vote yes:
Improve Political Spending Disclosure—Proposal 5

TABLE OF CONTENTS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST PROPOSAL 5
The Board has carefully considered this proposal and believes that it is unnecessary and not in the best interests of our stockholders. Consequently, the Board UNANIMOUSLY recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons.
Amphenol does not make political contributions as already publicly disclosed.
Amphenol is a non-partisan corporation that does not actively engage in the political process. As described in our political activity statement, which is available on our website, Amphenol:
•
does not make contributions to political parties or candidates for office at any level, whether federal, state or local;
​
•
does not direct corporate funds to political organizations (i.e., organizations organized under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code);
​
•
does not make independent expenditures for communications in support of or in opposition to political candidates to 501(c)(4) organizations or otherwise (such as through electioneering communications or other corporate independent expenditures); and
​
•
does not have a Company-sponsored political action committee (PAC).
​
For at least the last twenty years, we have not contributed any money to political campaigns, political organizations or organizations engaged to lobby directly on behalf of Amphenol.
The proposal is unnecessary because if Amphenol did participate in the political process, it would disclose lobbying and political expenditures as required by law.
Political contributions of all types are subject to extensive governmental regulation and public disclosure requirements. Election laws at both the federal and state level require either the contributor or the recipient campaign or committee to publicly file reports disclosing such contributions. Those disclosures are aggregated by a number of independent and non-partisan groups and are available and easily searchable on public websites, making the report required by this proposal unnecessary.
In accordance with federal law, corporations cannot use corporate funds to make direct contributions to candidates for federal political office. While Amphenol does not currently actively participate in the political process, make contributions or lobby, if it were to do so, it would do so in full compliance with all applicable disclosure laws.
The cost and effort of providing the information requested by this proposal could significantly exceed the value such information would have to our stockholders.
The proposal would also mandate disclosure of the portion of any dues or payments made to any tax-exempt organization, such as a trade association, used for an expenditure or contribution that, if made directly by the Company, would not be deductible under section 162(e)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code.
As described above, Amphenol does not currently actively participate in the political process, make political contributions or lobby. However, Amphenol does participate in various industry groups and trade associations that further our business, economic and community interests as noted in our political activity statement. From time to time, Amphenol may also participate in direct public policy or legislative advocacy. The industry groups and trade associations of which we are a member help keep the Company informed of developments and trends in the manufacturing industry and issues important to Amphenol as a global company and employer. These organizations may support their member companies through educational forums, political activities and advocacy to advance issues of common concern to the manufacturing industry or the business community at large. These industry groups or trade associations may also take political or policy positions we do not share, and that are not directly attributable to the membership dues we pay. As a result, the requested report could be misleading, by characterizing dues to such organizations as political contributions. Further, it can be difficult to assess exactly how dues paid to such organizations could be used, which would make it difficult to comply with the reporting requirements of this proposal and require further

corporate expenditures with little return for our stockholders. Therefore, we do not believe that the benefit of the requested report outweighs the resources required to prepare such a report.
Thus, after careful consideration of the proposal, the Board has concluded that the additional disclosure mandated by the report would not provide decision-useful information to our shareholders, as Amphenol has already clearly and publicly stated that it does not actively engage in the political process. The additional information would also not be an efficient use of Amphenol’s resources in light of our existing political contribution policy, as well as the extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing political contributions and related disclosures.
For these reasons, the Board UNANIMOUSLY urges stockholders to vote AGAINST the proposal to prepare a report disclosing the Company’s political spending and related policies and procedures.
