PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 2021

April 30, 2021

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board” and each member thereof, a “Director”) of Vicor Corporation (the “Corporation”, “Vicor”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) from owners of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Corporation (each, a “Stockholder” and collectively, the “Stockholders”) for use at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of the Corporation and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting, and the Proxy Card(s) (together, the “Proxy Solicitation Materials”) are first being mailed to Stockholders of record on or about May 7, 2021. The Corporation’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”), including financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, will be mailed to Stockholders concurrently with this Proxy Statement. The Annual Report, however, is not part of the Proxy Solicitation Materials.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

When and where will the Annual Meeting be held?

The Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, June 25, 2021, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting conducted via live audio webcast.

How can I participate in the Annual Meeting?

To participate in the Annual Meeting, please visit http://www.meetingcenter.io/209784887 and enter your name and email address and the password “VICR2021.” The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time and to allow ample time for check-in procedures. We suggest beginning the online check-in process by 8:45 a.m., Eastern Time. You will need to obtain your own Internet access if you choose to attend the Annual Meeting online and/or vote over the Internet.

If you wish to vote, submit questions, and/or examine our Stockholder list during the Annual Meeting, you will need to enter your 15-digit control number.

If you are the Stockholder of record with respect to your shares, you can find your 15-digit control number on your Proxy Card.

If you hold your shares in street name (i.e., through an intermediary, such as a bank, broker or other nominee), you must register in advance to participate in the Annual Meeting and obtain your 15-digit control number. To register, you must obtain a legally valid proxy reflecting your holdings from your intermediary. A copy of the proxy, along with your name and email address, must be submitted to Computershare as follows:

| • |  | By email: You may forward an email from your intermediary or attach an image of your legal proxy to legalproxy@computershare.com, with “Legal Proxy — Vicor Corporation” in the subject line; or

| • |  | By mail: You may mail a hard copy of the legal proxy to Computershare, Vicor Legal Proxy, P.O. Box 505008, Louisville, KY 40233-9814.

Requests for registration must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Friday, June 18, 2021. You will receive an email confirmation from Computershare, which will include your 15-digit control number.

Please note that if you hold your shares in street name and request a legally valid proxy from your intermediary, you will revoke any prior instructions provided to your intermediary as to how to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, if you request a legally valid proxy from your intermediary, you must vote at the Annual Meeting in order for your vote to be recorded.

If you lose your 15-digit control number, you may join the Annual Meeting as a “Guest” but you will not be able to vote, submit questions or access our Stockholder list.

What is the difference between being a “Stockholder of record” and holding shares in “street name”?

A Stockholder of record (also called a “registered holder”) holds shares in his or her name. A Stockholder of record may or may not hold physical share certificates, but the shares owned by such a Stockholder are registered with our transfer agent under the Stockholder’s name.

Shares held in “street name” means that shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee on the holder’s behalf.

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

The purpose of the Annual Meeting is to vote on the following proposal, as described in this Proxy Statement:

| • |  | To fix the number of Directors at nine and to elect the nine nominees as Directors to hold office until the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified; and

| • |  | To consider and act upon any other matters that may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

We do not know of any matters to be properly presented at the Annual Meeting other than the proposal referred to above. If other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof for consideration, and you are a Stockholder of record and have submitted a proxy card, the persons named in your proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The Board has fixed the close of business on April 30, 2021 as the record date for the determination of Stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). Only Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

As of March 31, 2021, there were 31,762,312 shares of Common Stock and 11,758,218 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share (for an aggregate of 31,762,312 votes or approximately 21% of the total voting power), and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to 10 votes per share (for an aggregate of 117,582,180 votes or approximately 79% of the total voting power). Shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class, reflecting their respective voting entitlement, on each proposal at the Annual Meeting.

2

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

The presence, in person (by virtual presence online) or by proxy, of Stockholders representing a majority in interest of all Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Because of his ownership of shares of Class B Common Stock and shares of Common Stock as of March 31, 2021, which is expected to represent 80.4% of the total voting power at the Annual Meeting, a quorum is assured by the presence of Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer, who will preside over the Annual Meeting. Shares that reflect abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

What are “broker non-votes”?

A “broker non-vote” occurs when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the Stockholder who beneficially owns the shares and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at their discretion. Proposal One is considered a non-discretionary matter, and a broker will lack the authority to vote uninstructed shares at their discretion on such proposal.

How do I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

We recommend that Stockholders vote by proxy even if they plan to attend the Annual Meeting and vote electronically. If you are a Stockholder of record, there are two ways to vote:

| • |  | by Internet—You can vote over the Internet at www.investorvote.com/VICR by following the instructions on your Proxy Card; or

| • |  | by Mail—You can vote by mail by signing, dating and mailing your Proxy Card.

Internet voting facilities for Stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close once the polls close during the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in street name, you will receive instructions on how to vote from your intermediary. You must follow the instructions of such intermediary in order for your shares to be voted.

How can I vote at the Annual Meeting?

If you wish to vote during the Annual Meeting, you will need to enter your 15-digit control number. See “How can I participate in the Annual Meeting?” above for additional information on obtaining your 15-digit control number. Stockholders may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the Annual Meeting.

Can I revoke or change my vote after I submit my proxy?

Yes. Whether you have voted by Internet or mail, if you are a Stockholder of record, you may change your vote and revoke your proxy by:

| • |  | sending a written statement to that effect to the attention of our Corporate Secretary at the address of the Corporation set forth above;

| • |  | voting again by Internet at a later time;

| • |  | submitting a properly signed Proxy Card with a later date that is received prior to the Annual Meeting; or

| • |  | attending the Annual Meeting and voting again.

3

If you hold shares in street name, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your intermediary. You may also change your vote or revoke your proxy online at the Annual Meeting if you obtain a signed proxy from the intermediary giving you the right to vote the shares.

Your most recent Proxy Card or Internet proxy is the one that is counted. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Corporation before your proxy is voted or you vote online at the Annual Meeting.

Will there be a question and answer session during the Annual Meeting?

As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session. Only Stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting using a 15-digit control number (rather than as a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “How can I participate in the Annual Meeting?” will be permitted to submit questions during the Annual Meeting. Questions may be submitted during the Annual Meeting or in advance via email to invrel@vicr.com no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), on Friday, June 18, 2021. Questions submitted in advance via email must include “Annual Meeting Question” in the subject line and include the Stockholder’s 15-digit control number. Questions unrelated to the purposes of the Annual Meeting or otherwise considered by Vicor to be inappropriate for the Annual Meeting will not be addressed.

What if I have trouble accessing the Annual Meeting virtually?

The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across MS Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari browsers and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Internet Explorer is no longer supported. Participants should ensure that they have a strong WiFi connection wherever they intend to participate in the Annual Meeting. We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting prior to the start time. A link on the meeting page will provide further assistance should you need it or you may call 1-888-724-2416 or 1-781-575-2748.

Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

The Corporation will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, Directors, officers, and employees of the Corporation also may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, e-mail, or other form of electronic communication without special compensation for such activities. The Corporation also will request those intermediaries holding shares that are beneficially owned by others to forward proxy materials to and obtain proxies from such beneficial owners. The Corporation will reimburse such intermediaries for their reasonable expenses in connection therewith.

If I share my residence with another Stockholder, how many copies of the annual report and proxy statement should I receive?

The Corporation and certain intermediaries (e.g., banks, brokers, and nominees) may deliver only one copy of the Annual Report and Proxy Solicitation Materials to Stockholders sharing an address. The Corporation will deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Annual Report or Proxy Solicitation Materials, as applicable, to a Stockholder at a shared address. In order to receive such a separate document, please contact our Corporate Secretary, at the address of the Corporation set forth above. If Stockholders sharing an address (i) currently receive a single copy of the Annual Report and Proxy Solicitation Materials and wish to receive separate copies of such materials in the future or (ii) currently receive separate copies of the Annual Report and Proxy Solicitation Materials and wish to receive a single copy of such materials in the future, please contact our Corporate Secretary, or the applicable intermediary, as the case may be.

ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD ON JUNE 25, 2021:

A plurality of the votes cast for a Nominee by the Stockholders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall elect such Nominee. Accordingly, abstentions, broker non-votes (if any), and votes withheld from any Nominee will have no effect on this proposal. There is no cumulative voting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Status as a Controlled Company

As of March 31, 2021, there were 31,762,312 shares of Common Stock and 11,758,218 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote. Our Common Stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ-GS”) and, as such, we are subject to the listing requirements set forth in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq Rules”). The Corporation is a “controlled company” in accordance with the governance provisions of the Nasdaq Rules, because Dr. Vinciarelli, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer, holds more than 50% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Accordingly, the Corporation relies on certain exemptions from corporate governance requirements available to us under the Nasdaq Rules for a controlled company (Nasdaq Rule 5615(c)(2)).

Dr. Vinciarelli beneficially owned, as of March 31, 2021, 10,010,893 shares of our Common Stock, 155,977 of which Dr. Vinciarelli has the right to acquire upon exercise of options to purchase Common Stock within 60 days of March 31, 2021, and 11,023,648 shares of our Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to 10 votes per share and is exchangeable on a one for one basis into a share of Common Stock, which entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share. As of March 31, 2021, Dr. Vinciarelli beneficially owned 31.4% of our Common Stock and 93.8% of our Class B Common Stock, which together represent 80.4% of total voting power, giving him effective control of our governance.

Because of the Corporation’s status as a controlled company, we are not required to comply with listing standards requiring a majority of independent Directors on our Board, the determination of the compensation of our executive officers solely by independent Directors, and the recommendation of nominees for Director solely by independent Directors. Upon consideration of the independence criteria under the Nasdaq Rules, the Board has determined that four of the nine Nominees (three of which are current Directors: Mr. Anderson, Mr. Carlson, and Dr. Eichten and one of which is not yet a Director: M. Michael Ansour) are independent, as defined by the Nasdaq Rules.

While we do rely on an exemption, as a controlled company, from the Nasdaq Rules requirement that our Board be comprised of a majority of independent Directors, the Nasdaq Rules nevertheless require our Board to have an Audit Committee comprised of no fewer than three Directors, all of whom are independent. The Nasdaq Rules further require that all members of the Audit Committee have the ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements and that at least one member of the Audit Committee possess financial sophistication (i.e., qualify to be identified as an “audit committee financial expert” under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) and (iii) of Regulation S-K). Mr. Anderson, Mr. Carlson, and Dr. Eichten are standing for re-election to the Board and, if re-elected, intend to serve as members of the Audit Committee for the upcoming one-year term. The Board has determined each of these Directors is independent under the Nasdaq Rules, including the Nasdaq Rules applicable to audit committee members. The Board also has determined that Mr. Carlson qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) and (iii) of Regulation S-K.

We rely on an exemption, as a controlled company, from the Nasdaq Rules requirement that the compensation of our executive officers, including Dr. Vinciarelli, our Chief Executive Officer, be determined solely by independent Directors. However, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Carlson, and Dr. Eichten, all considered to be independent Directors under the Nasdaq Rules, including the Nasdaq Rules applicable to compensation committee members, are standing for re-election to the Board and, if re-elected, intend to serve as members of the Compensation Committee for the upcoming one-year term. The Compensation Committee is solely responsible for the administration of the Corporation’s stock option plans, with authority delegated by the Board to approve all recommended stock option awards.

We also rely on an exemption, as a controlled company, from the Nasdaq Rules requirement that nominees for Director be selected or recommended solely by independent Directors (or a committee comprised solely of

11

independent Directors). The Board believes it, as a whole, is in the best position to evaluate potential candidates for nomination as Director and, therefore, the full Board (including Directors who are not independent) performs the function of such a committee. Of the current Directors, Dr. Vinciarelli, Mr. Tuozzolo, Mr. McNamara, Mr. Davies and Mr. D’Amico are not independent Directors under applicable Nasdaq Rules. Mr. Simms, who is also a Director and served as a Director in 2020, is not standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Simms is not an independent Director under applicable Nasdaq Rules.

Finally, while we rely on the exemptions from certain Nasdaq Rules requirements described above, we are not exempt from the requirement that independent Directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent Directors are present. At each meeting of the Board, the independent Directors conduct such “executive sessions,” frequently with our outside counsel as an invited guest. In addition, at each meeting of the Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of the current three independent Directors, the independent Directors conduct private meetings with representatives of our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”).

The Board and Its Committees

The Board held no in-person meetings but acted by written consent in lieu of meetings on seven occasions during 2020. Our Board has two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Information regarding the functions performed by the Audit Committee is set forth in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Report of the Audit Committee.” The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter, approved by the Board on February 3, 2007, and reviewed each year. As stated above, the Board has determined that Mr. Anderson, Mr. Carlson, and Dr. Eichten are independent, and that Mr. Carlson meets the definition of “audit committee financial expert” as defined by Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Anderson, Mr. Carlson, and Dr. Eichten have agreed, if re-elected, to serve on the Audit Committee. The charter of the Audit Committee is posted on the Corporation’s website, www.vicorpower.com, under the heading “About the Company” and the subheading “Corporate Governance.” The Audit Committee held five meetings during 2020.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for approving, based on the recommendation of Dr. Vinciarelli, the compensation for the executive officers of the Corporation, approving all grants of stock options by the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and administering the Corporation’s stock option plans pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board. The Compensation Committee is governed by a written charter, approved by the Board on October 18, 2013, and subject to review each year. The Compensation Committee held five meetings during 2020 and acted by written consent in lieu of meeting on 15 other occasions to approve stock option awards granted during 2020. The Compensation Committee charter is posted on the Corporation’s website, www.vicorpower.com, under the heading “About the Company” and the subheading “Corporate Governance.”

Each of the Directors attended 75% or more of the total number of meetings of the Board and meetings of the committees thereof on which such Director serves. Directors are expected to attend each year’s Annual Meeting in person unless doing so is impracticable due to unavoidable conflicts. All of the Directors attended the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Board Leadership and Role in Risk Management

Given the Corporation’s status as a controlled company and Dr. Vinciarelli’s leadership of the Corporation since its founding, he fulfills both the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. As Chairman of the Board, Dr. Vinciarelli presides over meetings of the Board and, in collaboration with the Corporate Secretary, establishes an agenda for each meeting. The Board does not have a lead independent Director. As Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Vinciarelli is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the Corporation, the leadership of the organization, and the operational and financial performance of the Corporation.

12

The Board advises and oversees executive management, which, under Dr. Vinciarelli’s leadership, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Corporation’s affairs. The Board reviews, assesses, and directs our long-term strategic plans and provides oversight and guidance on all matters influencing the Corporation’s well-being.

The Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing identification, analysis, and management of the Corporation’s risks. The Board regularly reviews information regarding the Corporation’s strategy, operations, financial performance and position, and legal and regulatory affairs, addressing the risks associated with each. To date, Messrs. Davies, McNamara, Simms, and Tuozzolo, in their capacities as Corporate Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing, Corporate Vice President, General Manager, Operations, former Chief Financial Officer, and President of Vicor Power Components, respectively, provide first-hand information and insight to the Board regarding enterprise risk. Messrs. Anderson and Carlson, as semiconductor industry executives with extensive, valuable experience, provide important external perspectives on a range of challenges facing the Corporation, including evolving technology and intensifying competition. Dr. Eitchen, an early investor in the Corporation, who has served on the Board for 40 years, provides important perspectives on technology trends, as well as a historical perspective on corporate strategy. Mr. D’Amico provides input on patent matters, including risk related to potential patent litigation, given his considerable experience in the field of patent law, including patent litigation, patent licensing and patent prosecution. The independent Directors, given their breadth of experience and expertise, as well as their governance responsibilities as the sole members of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, contribute to an ongoing assessment of the integrity of our financial reporting processes and systems and the appropriateness and effectiveness of our compensation programs.

While the Board is ultimately responsible for the Corporation’s risk management, the Audit Committee, comprised of independent Directors, plays a primary and important role in assisting the Board in overseeing such responsibilities, with particular focus, as mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, on the integrity and effectiveness of the Corporation’s financial reporting processes. The Audit Committee reviews our guidelines and policies on management of enterprise risks, including assessment and management of the Corporation’s major financial exposures and management’s monitoring and control of such exposures. At each meeting of the Audit Committee, members of management, led by the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer, present information addressing issues related to risk identification, analysis, and mitigation. Also at each meeting of the Audit Committee, the committee members meet privately with representatives of our independent auditors, KPMG.

In addition to the risk oversight role undertaken by the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee assists the Board in overseeing the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices as they relate to the Corporation’s risk management and risk-taking incentives. The Compensation Committee has determined that the compensation policies and practices for the Corporation’s employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation, as the incentives of the Corporation’s compensation programs are believed to be aligned with our strategic, operational, and financial goals and the interest of our Stockholders.

Director Nomination Process

As indicated above, the full Board performs the Director nomination function for the Corporation. The Board does not have a charter governing the Director nomination process, although it has established Director nomination procedures setting forth the process for identifying and evaluating Director nominees. The Corporation’s By-Laws require that our Stockholders approve the number of Directors for the coming year at each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, although the By-Laws also allow the Board to reduce the number of Directors in the event of a vacancy on the Board and to increase the number of Directors at any time by majority vote of the Directors then serving.

In connection with the appointment, effective June 1, 2021, of James F. Schmidt as Corporate Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Corporate Secretary, following the Annual Meeting, the Board

13

intends to increase the size of the Board to ten Directors and appoint Mr. Schmidt to the Board for a one year term.

Board Membership Criteria — At a minimum, the Board must be satisfied each candidate for nomination has high personal and professional integrity, has demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment, and is expected, in the judgment of the Board, to be highly effective, in collaboration with the other nominees to the Board, in collectively serving the interests of the Corporation and our Stockholders. In addition to the minimum qualifications set forth above, the Board seeks to select for nomination persons possessing relevant industry or technical experience and, in order to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Rules regarding the independence of Audit Committee members, persons meeting the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Rules and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees — The Board may solicit recommendations from any sources it deems appropriate.

In identifying and evaluating candidates for nomination, the Board may consider, in addition to the minimum professional qualifications discussed above and other criteria for Board membership approved by the Board from time to time, all facts and circumstances it deems appropriate or advisable, including, among other things, the breadth of experience, geographic representation, and backgrounds of other nominees. Based on these considerations, the Board may nominate a candidate it believes will, together with the other nominees, best serve the interests of the Corporation and our Stockholders.

Mr. Ansour, a Nominee for election at the Annual Meeting, was initially recommended to serve as a Director by Dr. Vinciarelli. In determining to nominate Mr. Ansour and each other Nominee at this Annual Meeting, the Board evaluated each Nominee in accordance with our standard review process for director candidates as described above.

PRINCIPAL AND MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of the Corporation’s Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by (1) each person or entity known to the Corporation to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of either class of the Corporation’s common stock, (2) each Director and Nominee, (3) each named executive officer of the Corporation (as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K and named in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal 2020 below), and (4) all Directors, Nominees and executive officers as a group, in each case based on representations of the Directors, Nominees and executive officers as of March 31, 2021, and a review of filings on Schedules 13D and 13G under the Exchange Act. Except as otherwise specified, the named beneficial owner has sole voting and investment power over the shares set forth opposite such beneficial owner’s name. The information in the table reflects shares outstanding of each of the two classes of common stock on March 31, 2021, and does not, except as otherwise indicated below, take into account conversions after such date, if any, of shares of Class B Common Stock into Common Stock, which, if they were to occur, would increase the voting control of persons who retain shares of Class B Common Stock.

The percentages shown have been determined as of March 31, 2021, in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and are based on a total of 43,520,530 shares of common stock that were outstanding on such date, of which 31,762,312 were shares of Common Stock and 11,758,218 were shares of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share, and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to 10 votes per share. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Common Stock at any time upon the election of the holder thereof.

17

Pursuant to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, shares of Class B Common Stock are transferrable only under the limited circumstances set forth therein and must be converted into shares of Common Stock in order to be sold. Such conversion may be effected by the delivery of the certificate(s) representing shares of Class B Common Stock, accompanied by a written notice of the election by the record holder thereof to convert, to the Corporate Secretary, c/o Vicor Corporation, 25 Frontage Road, Andover, MA 01810, or to the then-current transfer agent for our Common Stock. Any transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock not permitted under the provisions of our certificate of incorporation will result in the automatic conversion of those shares of Class B Common Stock into an equal number of shares of Common Stock.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This section provides information about our overall compensation program elements and objectives, with a particular focus on the compensation decisions made during 2020 with respect to our “Named Executive Officers” (as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K), which were the following individuals for 2020: Dr. Vinciarelli, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Simms, who served as our Chief Financial Officer until his resignation on April 16, 2021; and Messrs. Davies, McNamara and Tuozzolo, each of whom is a Vice President of the Corporation.

Philosophy

The primary objective of the Corporation’s compensation programs is to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified and productive employees using a combination of cash and equity based rewards intended to motivate and reward superior performance. Salaries and, in appropriate circumstances, cash bonuses encourage effective performance relative to current plans and objectives, while stock options may be utilized to attract new employees, reward outstanding performers, promote longer-term focus, and more closely align the interests of employees with those of Stockholders.

Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

At the 2017 annual meeting of Stockholders, Stockholders cast an advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (“Say on Pay” votes). The option receiving the highest number of votes was a frequency of every three years, and, in accordance with the outcome of that advisory vote, our Board determined to hold a Say on Pay advisory vote every three years. The Corporation’s most recent Say on Pay vote occurred at the Corporation’s 2020 annual meeting of Stockholders, and Stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in our proxy statement for that annual meeting. The Compensation Committee believes this affirmed our Stockholders’ support of the Corporation’s approach to executive compensation and, therefore, did not change its approach during 2020. The next advisory vote on the frequency of future Say on Pay votes will occur at the 2023 annual meeting of Stockholders.

Overview of Executive Compensation

Dr. Vinciarelli, with input from Ms. Grava, our Corporate Vice President, Human Resources, makes periodic recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to the compensation of executives including the Named Executive Officers (other than himself) and other employees in leadership positions.

Potential elements of compensation for our executive officers include: a base salary, cash bonuses, stock option awards through the Corporation’s stock option plans, the option to purchase Common Stock of the Corporation through the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), subsidized participation in group health, disability, and life insurance, cash contributions to a 401(k) tax-qualified retirement saving plan sponsored by the Corporation and certain perquisites. All employees, including our Named Executive Officers, are employees-at-will and, as such, do not have employment contracts with the Corporation.

Each component of compensation is described in the following table:

Component |  | Characteristics/Frequency |  | Objective
Base Salary |  | Salaries are established for a new hire based on the qualifications of the individual, the talents and skills sought for the position, and the comparable market level of salaries paid by position and/or geography. Salaries are |  | We seek to attract and retain the best available individual talent. We structure salaries to provide a fixed amount of annual compensation reflecting (a) the individual’s performance, and (b) the performance of the

20

Component |  | Characteristics/Frequency |  | Objective
|  | reviewed and revised annually, based on the performance of the individual. Each year a target percentage for an organization-wide merit increase in salaries, based on the Corporation’s performance and an assessment of increases in the cost of living, is presented to Dr. Vinciarelli for approval. |  | Corporation and the business unit within which the individual is employed.
Cash Bonus (Contingent) |  | Certain senior sales and marketing personnel are eligible to participate in sales incentive programs, with cash bonuses paid based on achievement of various objectives. These programs generally are structured annually, with payments made quarterly. The Corporation does not have a policy regarding or a program involving discretionary cash bonuses for personnel outside of the sales or marketing functions. |  | We seek to provide short-term, tangible motivation for certain senior sales and marketing personnel to meet objectives, whether these objectives involve dollar volumes, market penetration, or other defined quantitative objectives.
Stock Option Awards (Contingent) |  | We generally award non-qualified stock options to a new employee upon hiring. From time to time, existing employees will be rewarded for superior performance through the award of stock options. However, the Corporation does not have a policy regarding or a program involving annual awards of stock options. |  | We seek to motivate and retain recipients of stock option awards to contribute to achieving longer-term performance goals, potentially contributing to an increase in the value of the shares underlying the stock option awards, thereby aligning economic interests of recipients with Stockholders.
ESPP Participation (Elective) |  | Under the ESPP, established in 2017, eligible employees who elect to participate on the first day of an offering period of approximately six months are able to purchase shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at the end of that offering period at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock either on the first trading day or last trading day of that offering period. The purchase of shares is funded by means of periodic payroll deductions. |  | We seek to motivate and retain U.S. employees through their purchase, using after tax funds, of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at an advantageous price. Under the provisions of the ESPP, shares purchased and held past the first anniversary of the purchase are eligible for long-term capital gains tax treatment when sold.
Fringe Benefits |  | We offer a package of fringe benefits to all employees, including all Named Executive Officers, and their dependents, portions of which are paid for, in whole or in part, by the employee. The benefits we offer include: life, health, dental, vision, and long-term care insurance; disability and workers’ compensation insurance; healthcare reimbursement accounts; tuition reimbursement; employee stock purchase plan; and paid time off. |  | We seek to provide a competitive package of benefits addressing the health and welfare needs of employees, reflecting our overall compensation philosophy of attracting and retaining talented individuals.

21

Component |  | Characteristics/Frequency |  | Objective
Retirement Benefits |  | The Corporation sponsors a 401(k) tax-qualified retirement saving plan open to all employees. In any plan year, the Corporation will make a matching contribution equal to 50% of the first 3% of the participant’s compensation that has been contributed to the plan, up to a maximum matching contribution of $4,275. Participants received up to $3,975 in matching funds in 2020 from the Corporation. All Named Executive Officers, with the exception of Dr. Vinciarelli, participated in the 401(k) plan and received matching contributions. The Corporation does not provide any defined benefit plans, nonqualified deferred compensation plans, retirement health insurance, or other post-employment benefits. |  | We seek to provide retirement benefits that are competitive with other companies of our size and industry focus, reflecting our overall compensation philosophy of attracting and retaining talented individuals.
Perquisites |  | Executive officers, including all Named Executive Officers, are eligible to participate in supplemental health, dental, and vision insurance, and receive a fixed cash automobile allowance, as well as reimbursement for fuel expenses. Amounts associated with automobile allowances and fuel expense reimbursements are considered taxable current income by the recipient. |  | The limited perquisites we currently offer are intended to provide benefits to our executives comparable to those received by executives of other companies of our size and industry focus, or, as is the case with automobile allowances and fuel reimbursement, to support business purposes.

Stock Option Awards

Discretionary awards of stock options have been a component of our compensation for executives and employees that Dr. Vinciarelli considers to be important contributors to the Corporation’s success. The Compensation Committee approves all stock option grants. We generally award a limited number of non-qualified stock options to a new employee upon hiring. From time to time, existing employees may also be rewarded for superior performance through the award of additional stock options.

The Corporation does not have a policy regarding the composition or frequency of discretionary awards of stock options or other forms of equity-based compensation. In 2020, Mr. Simms, Mr. Davies, Mr. McNamara and Mr. Tuozzolo each received an award of stock options due to their service on the Board, as described below under the section entitled “Directors’ Compensation For Fiscal 2020.” In addition, Mr. Davies, Mr. McNamara and Mr. Tuozzolo each received an award of stock options in lieu of an annual compensation increase.

During 2020, as was also the case in 2019 and 2018, options for the purchase of the Corporation’s Common Stock were awarded under the Vicor Corporation Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Vicor 2000 Plan”). The exercise price of stock options for the purchase of the Corporation’s Common Stock is set at the closing price of a share of the Corporation’s Common Stock on the NASDAQ-GS on the effective date of the grant. Generally, these option grants vest evenly each quarter over five years and have a 10-year term. In certain circumstances, options have been awarded with vesting provisions based on the achievement of specific financial performance targets, as defined in the award agreement associated with those options.

22

Prior to the VI Chip Merger in June 2019, options for the purchase of VI Chip common stock were awarded under the VI Chip Corporation Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2007 VI Chip Plan”). In connection with the VI Chip Merger, the Corporation assumed the 2007 VI Chip Plan and any outstanding stock options thereunder. All outstanding options under the 2007 VI Chip Plan have been converted into options for the purchase of Common Stock of the Corporation. The 2007 VI Chip Plan, which was previously approved by the Corporation’s stockholders at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, was amended and restated on June 28, 2019 in connection with the VI Chip Merger. The assumed 2007 VI Chip Plan, as amended and restated, is referred to herein as the “Assumed VI Chip Plan.”

Prior to 2018, options for the purchase of Picor common stock were awarded under the Amended and Restated Picor Corporation 2001 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2001 Picor Plan”). In connection with the merger of Picor with and into the Corporation in May 2018 (the “Picor Merger”), the Corporation assumed the 2001 Picor Plan, as well as any outstanding stock option awards under the 2001 Picor Plan. All outstanding options under the 2001 Picor Plan were converted into options for the purchase of Common Stock of the Corporation. The 2001 Picor Plan, which was previously approved by the Corporation’s stockholders at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, was amended and restated on May 30, 2018 in connection with the Picor Merger. The assumed 2001 Picor Plan, as amended and restated, is referred to herein as the “Assumed Picor Plan.”

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

Stock Option Plan Information

The following table sets forth certain aggregated information for the Corporation as of December 31, 2020 regarding equity securities underlying stock option awards made under the Vicor 2000 Plan, the Assumed Picor Plan, and the Assumed VI Chip Plan. All equity compensation plans of the Corporation have been approved by Stockholders.

As shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock are issuable upon the exercise of options granted under the Vicor 2000 Plan, the Assumed Picor Plan, and the Assumed VI Chip Plan, we refer to the Vicor 2000 Plan, the Assumed Picor Plan, and the Assumed VI Chip Plan collectively as the “Vicor Plans” in the tables below.

The first column of the first row of the table below sets forth the total number of shares of stock to be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options awarded under the Vicor Plans, which, as the sum of all vested and unvested stock option awards, represents the maximum number of shares potentially issued pursuant to the Vicor Plans, if all such awards are exercised. The second column of the first row of the table below sets forth the weighted average exercise price of outstanding stock options awarded under the Vicor Plans. This figure represents the weighted average exercise price for all outstanding stock option awards under the Vicor Plans (calculated as the quotient of (A) divided by (B), with (A) representing the cumulative sum of (C) the product of (D) each outstanding award’s number of underlying shares (reflecting the one-to-one relationship in each of the Vicor Plans between a stock option and an underlying share of stock) and (E) the exercise price at which that individual option may be exercised to purchase a share of stock pursuant to the applicable Vicor Plan, with (B) representing the total number of shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options shown in the first column for the Vicor Plans). Such exercise prices were established at the time of each stock option award and, accordingly, do not represent the value as of December 31, 2020, or as of any time subsequent to the time of each stock option award. The third column of the first row of the table below sets forth the number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Vicor Plans. This figure represents (X) the difference between (Y) the total number of shares authorized for issuance under the Vicor Plans and the respective number of shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options shown in the first column.

24

Stock options issued under the Vicor 2000 Plan, the Assumed Picor Plan, and the Assumed VI Chip Plan carry a change in control provision that automatically accelerates vesting and makes unvested options fully exercisable upon a change of control, as defined in the applicable plan.

|  | Number of Shares to be Issued Upon Exercise of Outstanding Stock Options |  |  | Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Stock Options |  |  | Number of Shares Remaining Available for Issuance under Stock Option Plans |
Equity Compensation Plans Approved by Security Holders (1) |  |  | 2,023,477 |  |  | $ | 20.98 |  |  |  | 6,369,353 |

(1) | Includes the Vicor Plans, which as described above, includes the Vicor 2000 Plan, the Assumed Picor Plan and the Assumed VI Chip Plan. Following the VI Chip Merger, option awards originally granted under the 2007 VI Chip Plan are exercisable for shares of Common Stock of the Corporation under the Assumed VI Chip Plan. 1,476,371 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock are available for issuance under the Assumed VI Chip Plan solely upon the exercise of the options assumed by the Corporation in connection with the VI Chip Merger. No additional awards or any other types of awards may be granted under the Assumed VI Chip Plan. Following the Picor Merger, option awards originally granted under the 2001 Picor Plan are exercisable for shares of Common Stock of the Corporation under the Assumed Picor Plan. 511,794 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock are available for issuance under the Assumed Picor Plan solely upon the exercise of the options assumed by the Corporation in connection with the Picor Merger. No additional awards or any other types of awards may be granted under the Assumed Picor Plan.

(1) | The awards granted on June 26, 2020 were associated with the annual award to Directors, excluding Dr. Vinciarelli, of non-qualified stock options as compensation for service on the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

(2) | Refer to Note 12, “Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed on March 1, 2021, for the relevant assumptions used to determine the valuation of option awards. For the options granted on June 26, 2020, the formula used to calculate the number of stock options annually awarded to Directors, excluding Dr. Vinciarelli, is $50,000 divided by the closing price of a share of Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ-GS on the day of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

25

OPTIONS EXERCISES AND STOCK VESTED FOR FISCAL 2020

The following table presents option exercises by our Named Executive Officers during 2020. All options exercised by Named Executive Officers during 2020 were under the Vicor Plans as follows:

Named Executive Officer |  | Number of Shares Acquired upon Exercise |  |  | Value Realized upon Exercise (1) |
Patrizio Vinciarelli |  |  | 311,954 |  |  | $ | 14,418,371 |
Jamie A. Simms |  |  | 48,546 |  |  |  | 2,452,104 |
Philip D. Davies |  |  | 60,000 |  |  |  | 4,167,446 |
Michael S. McNamara |  |  | 14,599 |  |  |  | 1,074,996 |
Claudio Tuozzolo |  |  | 106,300 |  |  |  | 6,166,674 |

(1) | Represents the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of exercise.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION, UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL, AND

UPON TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE OF CONTROL

As all of our employees are employees-at-will, no amounts become due or payable to any of our executives upon termination of employment, regardless of whether a change of control has occurred. However, the Vicor Plans each provide that all unvested options thereunder will become vested and exercisable as of a change of control, as defined in each of the plans. Accordingly, our Named Executive Officers would have received the amounts set forth below based on the vesting of their unvested options if a change of control of the Corporation had occurred on December 31, 2020.

Named Executive Officer |  | Number of Unvested Options as of December 31, 2020 (1) |  |  | Intrinsic Value of Unvested Options as of December 31, 2020 (2) |
Patrizio Vinciarelli |  |  | 311,954 |  |  | $ | 26,656,469 |
James A. Simms |  |  | 4,630 |  |  |  | 276,957 |
Philip D. Davies |  |  | 12,901 |  |  |  | 652,866 |
Michael S. McNamara |  |  | 21,734 |  |  |  | 994,567 |
Claudio Tuozzolo |  |  | 11,233 |  |  |  | 653,478 |

(1) | Excludes unvested options with exercise prices exceeding the market value of the Corporation’s stock as of December 31, 2020.

(2) | Calculated as the aggregate amount by which the fair market value as of December 31, 2020 of the shares underlying the unvested options (i.e., the product of the closing price of a share of Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ-GS on that date, $92.22, and the number of unvested options) exceeded the aggregate exercise price of the unvested options as of that date.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PAY RATIO

As required by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the ratio of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Patrizio Vinciarelli, our Chief Executive Officer. For the year ended December 31, 2020:

| • |  | the annual total compensation of our median employee was reasonably estimated to be $63,274; and

| • |  | the annual total compensation of Dr. Vinciarelli was $143,495.

29

Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer to the annual total compensation of our median employee is estimated to be 2.3 to 1.

We identified our median employee using a multi-step process. First, we examined the base salaries and wages of all individuals employed by us on December 31, 2020 (other than Dr. Vinciarelli), whether full-time, part-time, or on a seasonal basis to identify the median base salary of all our employees. We annualized wages and salaries for all permanent employees who were hired after January 1, 2020, as permitted by SEC rules, and converted all employees’ salaries or wages into U.S. dollars based on the applicable foreign exchange rate on December 31, 2020. We selected the individual within such group whose total compensation was at the median to serve as our median employee whose compensation is disclosed above. After we identified our median employee, we calculated such employee’s total annual compensation in the same way that we calculate the annual total compensation of our named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table.

DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION FOR FISCAL 2020

Overview of Director Compensation

The level of compensation of non-employee Directors is reviewed on an annual basis by the Board as a whole. To determine the appropriateness of the current level of compensation for non-employee Directors, the Board reviews data from a number of different sources including publicly available data describing director compensation in peer companies.

Non-employee Directors are compensated through a combination of cash payments and awards of options for the purchase of our Common Stock. Each non-employee Director receives a quarterly retainer of $7,500 for his services. Expenses incurred by non-employee Directors in attending Board and committee meetings are reimbursed by the Corporation.

Directors who are employees do not receive cash compensation for service on the Board.

Each Director (including Directors that are employees), other than any Director holding in excess of 10% of the total number of shares of the capital stock of the Corporation (i.e., Dr. Vinciarelli), receives an annual grant of non-qualified stock options following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders under the Vicor 2000 Plan. Currently, the formula to calculate the stock option award is $50,000 divided by the closing price of a share of Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ-GS on the day of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Accordingly, on June 26, 2020, each Director, other than Dr. Vinciarelli, was awarded non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 731 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $68.48 per share. Stock options granted to Directors as compensation for their service on the Board vest at a rate of 20% per year on each of five successive anniversaries of the date of award.

The table below reflects Director compensation for fiscal 2020:

Director |  | Fees Earned or Paid in Cash |  |  | Option Awards (1) (2) (4) |  |  | Total Compensation |
Samuel J. Anderson |  | $ | 30,000 |  |  | $ | 22,466 |  |  | $ | 52,466 |
Jason L. Carlson |  |  | 30,000 |  |  |  | 22,466 |  |  |  | 52,466 |
Estia J. Eichten |  |  | 30,000 |  |  |  | 22,466 |  |  |  | 52,466 |
Andrew T. D’Amico (3) |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |

(1) | These amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of stock option awards granted during 2020. Refer to Note 12, “Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans”, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed on March 1, 2021, for the relevant assumptions used to determine the valuation of option awards.

30

(2) | Option awards granted to Philip D. Davies, James A. Simms, Michael S. McNamara and Claudio Tuozzolo, who are both employees and Directors, are described in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards for Fiscal 2020 table.

(3) | Andrew T. D’Amico was elected a Director in late October 2020 and therefore did not receive stock option awards or compensation for his services in 2020.

(4) | The aggregate grant date fair value and aggregate number of stock options awarded and outstanding as of December 31, 2020 were as follows:

Name |  | Grant Date Fair Value of Stock Options |  |  | Number of Awards Outstanding |
Samuel J. Anderson |  | $ | 85,589 |  |  |  | 5,378 |

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Messrs. Carlson, Anderson and Eichten serve on the Compensation Committee and served on the Compensation Committee in 2020. Messrs. Carlson, Anderson and Eichten are independent Directors and the Board is not aware of any committee interlocks or other relationships that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 407(e)(4) of Regulation S-K.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee oversees the Corporation’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, which is responsible for performing an independent integrated audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and issuing an opinion as to whether the consolidated financial statements conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and an opinion as to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Corporation’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG the auditors’ independence from management and the Corporation, including the matters in the written disclosures from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee discussed with KPMG the overall scope and plans for its audit. The Audit Committee has also discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. The Audit Committee periodically meets with KPMG, with and without management present, to discuss the results of its audit, its evaluation of the Corporation’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Corporation’s financial reporting.

32

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board (and the Board approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for filing with the SEC, which occurred on March 1, 2021.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Transactions

Mr. D’Amico, one of our Directors and Nominees, also serves in the role of general counsel for the Corporation for intellectual property matters. Pursuant to an informal compensation agreement between the Corporation and Mr. D’Amico (the “Agreement”), in exchange for his services as general counsel, the Corporation has agreed to pay Mr. D’Amico a fee of $30,000 per month, as well as reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with his provision of services to the Corporation. Also pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. D’Amico is entitled to an incentive fee equal to 3% of the royalties received by the Corporation pursuant to certain license agreements negotiated by Mr. D’Amico on behalf of the Corporation. The aggregate amount of such incentive fees is limited to $1,000,000, although this amount may be increased by mutual agreement in certain circumstances, including the negotiation of additional license agreements by Mr. D’Amico. As of April 19, 2021, there were no such incentive fees payable to Mr. D’Amico. The Corporation expects to continue the Agreement, under the same terms and conditions, for the remainder of 2021.

In connection with this arrangement, during the year ended December 31, 2020, Mr. D’Amico received aggregate compensation and reimbursement from the Corporation of $1,774,312, consisting of total monthly compensation of $360,000 (i.e., compensation of $30,000 per month for 12 months), income associated with license-based incentive fees of $6,536, income related to exercises during the year of non-qualified stock options awarded under the Vicor 2000 Plan of $1,326,250, and cumulative expense reimbursement of $81,526. From January 1, 2021 through April 19, 2021, Mr. D’Amico has received aggregate compensation and reimbursement from the Corporation of $448,518, consisting of total monthly compensation of $90,000 (i.e., compensation of $30,000 per month for 3 full months), income related to exercises during the year of non-qualified stock options awarded under the Vicor 2000 Plan of $355,904, and cumulative expense reimbursement of $2,614.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, Mr. D’Amico was awarded stock options under the Vicor 2000 Plan to purchase an aggregate of 2,886 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $69.04. As of December 31, 2020, Mr. D’Amico had 55,186 stock options outstanding under the Vicor 2000 Plan, at a weighted average exercise price range of $8.54 — $69.04. From January 1, 2021 through April 19, 2021, no stock options have been awarded to Mr. D’Amico.

None of the amounts or stock option awards described in this “Related Party Transactions” section were paid or awarded to Mr. D’Amico in connection with his service as a Director.

Review and Approval of Related Party Transactions

The Corporation’s policy and procedures with respect to the review, approval, and/or ratification of related party transactions are set forth in the Charter of the Audit Committee and, in summary, require the Audit Committee to review and approve all related party transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K, and to discuss with management the business rationale for the transactions, whether the transactions are on terms that are fair to the Corporation, and whether appropriate disclosures have been made.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee, acting under authorization of the Board of Directors, pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter, and following the Corporation’s By-Laws, selected KPMG as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Corporation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. A representative of KPMG is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be given the opportunity to make a statement. The representative is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from Stockholders.

The following table summarizes the fees for services rendered by KPMG for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 in each of the following categories:

Name |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Audit Fees |  | $ | 1,515,000 |  |  | $ | 1,437,000 |
Tax Fees |  |  | 235,000 |  |  |  | 214,000 |
Total Fees |  | $ | 1,750,000 |  |  | $ | 1,651,000 |

Audit Fees include services provided in connection with the audit of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements (including internal control reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), the reviews of the Corporation’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC, statutory audits required internationally and accounting consultations that relate to the audited financial statements.

Tax Fees include services provided in connection with tax compliance, tax advice, tax planning, and assistance with tax audits.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Charter of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all auditing services and the terms thereof and non-audit services (other than non-audit services prohibited under Section 10A(g) of the Exchange Act or the applicable rules of the SEC or the PCAOB) to be provided to the Corporation by our independent registered public accounting firm; provided, however, the pre-approval requirement is waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services for the Corporation if the de minimus provisions of Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act are satisfied. Under the Charter, the authority to pre-approve non-audit services may be delegated to one or more members of the Audit Committee, who are required to present all decisions to pre-approve an activity to the full Audit Committee at its first meeting following such decision. The Audit Committee approved all audit and non-audit services provided to the Corporation by KPMG for fiscal years 2020 and 2019.

The Audit Committee has selected KPMG as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Corporation on or before January 7, 2022, in order to be considered for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement and form of proxy. These proposals must also comply with the rules of the SEC governing the form and content of proposals in order to be included in the Corporation’s proxy statement and form of proxy and should be directed to: Corporate Secretary, Vicor Corporation, 25 Frontage Road, Andover, Massachusetts 01810.

proxy, the Stockholder proposal or Director nomination must comply with the requirements set forth in our By-Laws and we must receive notice of the matter not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to June 25, 2022. However, in the event that the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting is advanced by more than 30 days before or delayed by more than sixty days after the anniversary of the 2021 Annual Meeting, and instead, such meeting is scheduled to be held on a date outside that period, notice of a Stockholder proposal or Director nomination, to be timely, must be received by our Corporate Secretary not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such other meeting date and not later than 90 days prior to such other meeting date or 10 days following the date such other meeting date is first publicly announced or disclosed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing notice deadlines under our By-Laws, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to our Board at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is increased and either all of the nominees for Director at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or the size of the increased Board is not publicly announced or disclosed by us by April 1, 2022, notice will be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if the notice is delivered to our Corporate Secretary no later than 10 days following the first date all such nominees or the size of the increased Board is publicly announced or disclosed.

Proxies solicited by the Board will confer discretionary voting authority with respect to Stockholder proposals, other than proposals to be considered for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement described above, that the Corporation receives at the above address after March 23, 2022. These proxies will also confer discretionary voting authority with respect to Stockholder proposals, other than proposals to be considered for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement described above, that the Corporation receives on or before March 23, 2022, subject to SEC rules governing the exercise of this authority.
