PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE H ELD ON Friday, June 21, 2024

April 29, 2024

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 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of the Corporation to be held on Friday, June 21, 2024, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at the offices of Foley & Lardner LLP, 111 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02199, and any adjournments or postponements thereof. At the Annual Meeting, Stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the proposal set forth in this Proxy Statement and to consider and act on any other matters that may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting and at 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 6, 2024. The Corporation’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”), including financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, will be mailed to Stockholders concurrently with this Proxy Statement. The Annual Report, however, is not part of the Proxy Solicitation Materials.

The Board has fixed the close of business on April 26, 2024 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, 2024, there were 32,800,034 shares of Common Stock and 11,743,218 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 32,800,034 votes or approximately 22% 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 117,432,180 votes or approximately 78% 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.

Stockholders are requested to complete, date, sign, and return the accompanying Proxy Card(s) in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope. Shares represented by a properly executed Proxy Card received prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting as directed on the Proxy Card. If a properly executed Proxy Card is submitted and no instructions are given, the shares so represented will be voted FOR each of the Director nominees. We do not anticipate any matters other than those set forth in this Proxy Statement will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly presented, proxies will be voted in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders.

A Stockholder of record may revoke a proxy at any time before it has been exercised by: (1) delivering a written revocation to our Corporate Secretary, James F. Schmidt, at the address of the Corporation set forth above; (2) delivering a duly executed Proxy Card bearing a later date; or (3) appearing in person, notifying the Corporate Secretary of such revocation, and voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting. Any Stockholder of record as of the Record Date attending the Annual Meeting may vote in person whether or not a proxy has been previously submitted, but the presence (without further action) of a Stockholder at the Annual Meeting will not constitute revocation of a previously submitted proxy.

The presence, in person 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, 2024, which is expected to represent 79.7% 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.

1

Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Brokers and other nominees do not have discretionary voting power to vote shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock at the Annual Meeting without instructions from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote such shares at the Annual Meeting on any matter. Accordingly, the Corporation does not expect that there will be any broker non-votes with respect to the proposal described in this Proxy Statement.

The cost of solicitation of proxies in the form enclosed herewith will be borne by the Corporation. 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 holding shares in their names or in the names of their nominees that are beneficially owned by others to forward proxy materials to and obtain proxies from such beneficial owners. The Corporation will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses in connection therewith.

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, Mr. Schmidt, 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 Mr. Schmidt, our Corporate Secretary, or the applicable intermediary, as the case may be.

Important notice regarding the availability of proxy materials for the Annual Meeting to be held on June 21, 2024: The Proxy Solicitation Materials and Annual Report are available at www.vicorpower.com.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF TWELVE DIRECTORS

In accordance with the requirements of the Corporation’s By-Laws, the Board recommends the number of Directors be fixed at twelve and has nominated all of the Nominees named below for election to the Board. All of the Nominees presently serve as Directors of the Corporation.

If elected, each Nominee will serve until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation, or removal. Properly executed Proxy Cards will be voted FOR the Nominees unless otherwise specified. Each Nominee has consented to stand for election and the Board anticipates each of the Nominees, if elected, will serve as a Director.

However, if any person nominated by the Board is unable to serve or, for good cause, will not serve, proxies solicited hereby will be voted for the election of another person designated by the Board, if one is nominated.

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, broker non-votes (if any) and votes withheld from any Nominee will have no effect on this proposal. There is no cumulative voting.

He has stated an intention to vote in favor of fixing the number of Directors at twelve and in favor of the election of all Nominees.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Status as a Controlled Company

As of March 31, 2024, there were 32,800,034 shares of Common Stock and 11,743,218 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, 2024, 9,592,017 shares of our Common Stock, 435,570 shares of Common Stock that he has the right to acquire upon exercise of options to purchase Common Stock within 60 days of March 31, 2024, 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, 2024, Dr. Vinciarelli beneficially owned 29.6% of our Common Stock and 93.9% of our Class B Common Stock, which together represent 79.7% 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 or recommendation 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 five of the twelve Nominees (all of which are current Directors: Mr. Ansour, Mr. Carlson, Dr. Eichten, Ms. Lavie and Dr. Shen) 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. Ansour, Mr. Carlson, and Dr. Eichten, the current members of the Audit Committee, 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 or recommended solely by independent Directors. However, Mr. Ansour, Mr. Carlson, and Dr. Eichten, the current members of the Compensation Committee, are 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 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. Schmidt, Mr. McNamara, Mr. Davies, Mr. D’Amico and Mr. Anderson are not independent Directors 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 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 three meetings during 2023. 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, which is reviewed each year. As stated above, the Board has determined that Mr. Ansour, 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. Ansour, Mr. Carlson, and Dr. Eichten have agreed, if re-elected, to continue 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 2023.

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, which is subject to review each year. The Compensation Committee held five meetings during 2023 and acted by written consent in lieu of meeting on 19 other occasions to approve stock option awards granted during 2023. 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 of Stockholders in person unless doing so is impracticable due to unavoidable conflicts. All of the Directors attended the 2023 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.

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, Schmidt, and Tuozzolo, in their capacities as Corporate Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing, Corporate Vice President, General Manager, Operations, 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. Eichten, an early investor in the Corporation, who has served on the Board for 43 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. Mr. Ansour provides investment and legal expertise and has considerable experience as an investor in companies in the power management and semiconductor industries. Ms. Lavie provides extensive experience in the semiconductor industry, including leading diverse business initiatives and complex R&D projects, and significant R&D process development expertise, including technology development. Dr. Shen provides extensive knowledge of electronics and power conversion and has an understanding of the evolution of technical innovation in the semiconductor and power conversion industries. 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

11

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.

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.

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.

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 2023 below), and (4) all Directors and executive officers as a group, in each case based on representations of the Directors and executive officers as of March 31, 2024, 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, 2024, 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, 2024, in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and are based on a total of 44,543,252 shares of common stock that were outstanding on such date, of which 32,800,034 were shares of Common Stock and 11,743,218 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.

15

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 James F. Schmidt, 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 2023 with respect to our “Named Executive Officers” (as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K), which were the following individuals for 2023: Dr. Vinciarelli, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Schmidt, our Chief Financial Officer; and Messrs. Davies, McNamara and Tuozzolo, each of whom is a Corporate 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 2023 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 2023 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 2023. The next Say on Pay vote will occur at the Corporation's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the next advisory vote on the frequency of future Say on Pay votes will occur at the Corporation's 2029 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 reviewed and revised annually, based on the |  | We seek to attract and retain the best available individual talent. We structure salaries to provide a fixed amount of annual compensation reflecting the individual’s performance and the comparable market
|  | 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. In 2023, our Named Executive Officers participated in the organization-wide merit increase and received the salaries reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal 2023. |  | level of salaries paid by position and/or geography.

18

Component |  | Characteristics/Frequency |  | Objective
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. Of the Named Executive Officers, only Mr. Davis was eligible for these programs during 2023. The Corporation did not have a policy regarding or a program involving discretionary cash bonuses for personnel outside of the sales and marketing functions in 2023. However, the Corporation has in the past from time to time awarded discretionary or service-or performance-based cash incentive bonuses to Named Executive Officers. |  | 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. We also may make stock option incentive grants in conjunction with merit increases for eligible employees. |  | 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; 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.
Retirement Benefits |  | The Corporation sponsors a 401(k) tax-qualified retirement saving plan that is open to all employees. In any plan year, the Corporation will make a matching contribution equal to 50% of the first 6% of the participant’s compensation that has been contributed to the plan, up to a maximum matching contribution of $9,900. Participants received up to $9,900 in matching funds in 2023 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. Stock options may also be granted to eligible employees in conjunction with annual merit increases.

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 2023, Mr. Schmidt, 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 2023.” In addition, Dr. Vinciarelli, Mr. Davies, Mr. Schmidt, Mr. McNamara and Mr. Tuozzolo each received an award of stock options as part of an annual merit increase. The number of 2023 merit stock options awarded to each Named Executive Officer was determined using a formula that calculates (a) a percentage that takes each Named Executive Officer’s salary and divides it by the average base salary of Vicor Corporation’s exempt employee population, (b) a merit percentage which is each Named Executive Officer’s annual merit increase percentage divided by the overall merit increase percentage for Vicor Corporation’s employee population, and (c) an incentive percentage, which multiplies the percentages from items (a) and (b) and a factor of 0.2 to arrive at the incentive dollar award total for each Named Executive Officer. This incentive dollar award total was divided by Vicor Corporation’s closing stock price on the merit stock option award date of May 2, 2023 to arrive at the number of options to be granted to each Named Executive Officer.

During 2023, as was also the case in 2022 and 2021, 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 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.

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.”

Compensation Recovery Policy

During 2023, the Corporation adopted a compensation recovery policy designed to comply with the SEC’s recently issued regulations and the implementing Nasdaq Rules. This policy provides that, if the Corporation is required to prepare a qualifying accounting restatement, then, unless an exception applies, the Corporation will recover reasonably promptly the excess of (1) the amount of incentive-based compensation received by a person who served as a covered officer at any time during the applicable performance period during the three completed years immediately preceding the date the Corporation is required to prepare the accounting restatement over (2) the amount that would have been received had it been determined based on the restated financials.

The following table sets forth certain aggregated information for the Corporation as of December 31, 2023 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, 2023 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.

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.

The following table presents information as of December 31, 2023 with respect to compensation plans under which equity securities of the Corporation are authorized for issuance:

|  | 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 |

The awards granted on June 23, 2023 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.

Refer to Note 11, “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, 2023, filed on February 28, 2024, for the relevant assumptions used to determine the valuation of option awards. For the options granted on June 23, 2023, the formula used to calculate the number of stock options annually awarded to Directors, excluding Dr. Vinciarelli, is $200,000 divided by the closing price of a share of Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ-GS on the day of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Accordingly, on June 23, 2023, the Named Executive Officers who also served as Directors were awarded non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 3,769 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $53.07 per share.

In connection with the VI Chip Merger, all outstanding VI Chip stock options granted under the 2007 VI Chip Plan were converted into an equivalent value of Vicor stock options pursuant to the assumption by the Corporation of the 2007 VI Chip Plan and the options outstanding thereunder. As a result of the VI Chip Merger, Mr. McNamara received 17,724 options to purchase Common Stock of the Corporation and Dr. Vinciarelli received 779,885 options to purchase Common Stock of the Corporation under the Assumed VI Chip Plan, of which 17,724 options and 429,371 options, respectively, were exercisable as of December 31, 2023. In connection with the Picor Merger, all outstanding Picor stock options granted under the 2001 Picor Plan were converted into an equivalent value of Vicor stock options pursuant to the assumption by the Corporation of the 2001 Picor Plan and the options outstanding thereunder. As a result of the Picor Merger, Mr. Tuozzolo received 133,369 options to purchase Common Stock of the Corporation under the Assumed Picor Plan, of which 1,272 options were exercisable as of December 31, 2023.

OPTIONS EXERCISES AND STOCK VESTED FOR FISCAL 2023

The following table presents option exercises by our Named Executive Officers during 2023. All options exercised by our Named Executive Officers during 2023 were under the Vicor Plans as follows:

Named Executive Officer |  | Number of Shares Acquired upon Exercise |  |  | Value Realized upon Exercise (1) |
Michael S. McNamara |  |  | 10,000 |  |  | $ | 489,819 |

(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, 2023.

Named Executive Officer |  | Number of Unvested Options as of December 31, 2023 (1) |  |  | Intrinsic Value of Unvested Options as of December 31, 2023 (2) |
Patrizio Vinciarelli |  |  | 17,273 |  |  | $ | 57,519 |
James F. Schmidt |  |  | 16,229 |  |  |  | 54,043 |
Philip D. Davies |  |  | 21,520 |  |  |  | 96,322 |

Claudio Tuozzolo |  |  | 19,974 |  |  |  | 69,914 |

(1)
Excludes unvested options with exercise prices exceeding the market value of the Corporation’s Common Stock as of December 31, 2023.
(2)
Calculated as the aggregate amount by which the fair market value as of December 31, 2023 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, $44.94, 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, 2023:

•
the annual total compensation of our median employee was reasonably estimated to be $74,332; and
•
the annual total compensation of Dr. Vinciarelli was $821,250.

28

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 9 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, 2023 (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, 2023, 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, 2023. 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.

Cumulative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) is calculated on a $100 investment from the beginning of fiscal year 2020 by the share price appreciation calculated by dividing the difference between the Corporation’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Corporation’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

6.
Represents the weighted peer group Cumulative TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the Standard & Poor’s SmallCap 600 Index (“S&P SmallCap 600 Index”), a value-weighted index of 600 listed companies with market capitalizations between $750,000,000 and $4,600,000,000, comprising the same issuers the Corporation used in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for purposes of Item 201(e)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K. In the Corporation’s proxy statement filed in 2023, it used the Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400 Index (the “S&P MidCap 400 Index”) for this purpose, but it has used the S&P SmallCap 600 Index in this year’s proxy statement because, as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Corporation was removed from the S&P MidCap 400 Index and included within the S&P SmallCap 600 Index in October 2023. A comparison of the Corporation’s Cumulative TSR with the weighted peer group Cumulative TSR of both the S&P SmallCap 600 Index and the S&P MidCap 400 Index is below, assuming a hypothetical $100 investment at the beginning of fiscal year 2020.

Year |  | Corporation TSR ($) |  |  | S&P SmallCap 600 Index TSR ($) |  |  | S&P MidCap 400 Index TSR ($) |

The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Corporation’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.
8.
The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) reflected in the Corporation’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

The following charts show graphically the relationships over the past four years of the Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) Amounts for our PEO and Other NEOs as compared to our diluted EPS, Cumulative TSR, Peer Group Cumulative TSR, and Net Income, as well as the relationship between Cumulative TSR and Peer Group Cumulative TSR:

32

We have identified diluted EPS as the most important financial performance measure relevant to determining the compensation actually paid to our NEOs in 2023. As described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” we generally do not directly link compensation decisions to diluted EPS or other financial performance measures. However, we consider diluted EPS an important measure of our long-term financial success and it therefore is relevant to discretionary compensation decisions through which we seek to motivate and reward superior performance.

The following table lists diluted EPS and three additional financial performance measures that represent important performance measures for our long-term financial success and that are therefore relevant to discretionary compensation decisions through which we seek to motivate and reward superior performance.

DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION FOR FISCAL 2023

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 or her 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 $200,000 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 23, 2023, each Director, other than Dr. Vinciarelli, was awarded non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 3,769 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $53.07 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 2023:

Director |  | Fees Earned or Paid in Cash |  |  | Option Awards (1) (2) |  |  | Total Compensation |
Samuel J. Anderson |  | $ | 30,000 |  |  | $ | 104,976 |  |  | $ | 134,976 |

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the CD&A be included in this Proxy Statement and be incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for filing with the SEC and distribution to Stockholders.

Submitted by the Compensation Committee:

Jason L. Carlson, Chairman

M. Michael Ansour

Estia J. Eichten

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. Carlson, Ansour and Eichten currently serve on the Compensation Committee and served on the Compensation Committee during 2023. 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 or Item 404 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 Corporation’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.

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, 2023, for filing with the SEC, which occurred on February 28, 2024.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Transactions

Arrangement between the Corporation and Andrew D’Amico

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 approximately $33,101 per month (subject to annual adjustment), 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. The Corporation expects to continue the Agreement, under the same terms and conditions, for the remainder of 2024.

In connection with this arrangement, during the year ended December 31, 2023, Mr. D’Amico received aggregate compensation and reimbursement from the Corporation of $909,467, consisting of total monthly compensation of $397,208, income associated with license-based incentive fees of $150,631, income related to exercises during 2023 of non-qualified stock options awarded under the Vicor 2000 Plan of $259,720, and cumulative expense reimbursement of $101,908. From January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2024, Mr. D’Amico received aggregate compensation and reimbursement from the Corporation of $160,568, consisting of total monthly compensation of $99,302 (i.e., compensation of approximately $33,101 per month for 3 full months), income associated with license-based incentive fees of $17,286, and cumulative expense reimbursement of $43,980.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Mr. D’Amico was awarded stock options under the Vicor 2000 Plan to purchase an aggregate of 28,351 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $42.30. As of December 31, 2023, Mr. D’Amico had 55,741 stock options outstanding under the Vicor 2000 Plan, at exercise prices ranging from $10.07 to $100.00. From January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2024, no stock options have been awarded to Mr. D’Amico.

Of the options awarded to Mr. D’Amico in 2023 (described in the paragraph above), options to purchase 3,769 shares were awarded in connection with his service as a Director and are included in the Directors’ Compensation for Fiscal 2023 table. None of the other 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.

License Agreement between the Corporation and IceMOS Technology Corporation

On November 4, 2022, we entered into a license agreement with IceMOS Technology Corporation (“IceMOS”), which grants us a non-exclusive license to certain U.S. patents owned by IceMOS relating to the design, manufacture and interconnection of super-junction FETs. The license agreement continues for a term of 15 years or until the expiration of the last to expire of the licensed patents, whichever is later. We are obligated under the license agreement to pay IceMOS ongoing royalties on the sales of any semiconductor device/commercialized product incorporating or made using the licensed patents. No royalties have accrued and no payments have been made to IceMOS under the license agreement to date. It is not possible at this time to estimate the payments to be made under the license agreement; however, we expect that future royalty payments to IceMOS will exceed $120,000. Mr. Anderson, one of our Directors and Nominees, is the Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of IceMOS. In addition, Mr. Anderson owns 80% of the voting stock of IceMOS.

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.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Corporation’s executive officers and Directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Corporation’s equity securities (collectively, “Insiders”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Insiders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Corporation with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Corporation’s knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of such reports and written representations that no other reports were required during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, all transactions in the Corporation’s securities that were engaged in by Insiders, and therefore required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, were timely reported, except that, due to inadvertent administrative error, late Forms 3 were filed on behalf of Ms. Lavie and Dr. Shen on April 14, 2023.

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, 2023.

Audit-related fees include fees relating to the Company’s real-time system implementation assessment of certain enterprise resource planning software.

Tax Fees include fees for 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. Under the Charter, preapproval authority may be delegated to the Audit Committee Chair, who is 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 2023 and 2022.

The Audit Committee has selected KPMG as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

However, in the event that the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is advanced by more than 30 days before or delayed by more than sixty days after the anniversary of the 2024 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 120 th 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.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our By-Laws, Stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

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, 2025. 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, 2025, subject to SEC rules governing the exercise of this authority.
