        <footnote id="F1">Each Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) represents a contingent right to receive one share of Cohu, Inc. Common Stock upon vesting. The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning March 12, 2025 (assuming continued employment).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Represents Performance Stock Units (also referred to as RSUs) that will be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Cohu, Inc. Common Stock upon vesting. These performance stock units will vest only after the achievement of specified performance goals (total shareholder return). Provided such goals are achieved and subject to continued employment through the vesting date, vesting is scheduled to occur in full on the third anniversary of the date of the grant (March 12, 2027). The number of shares shown is the target award level. The actual number of shares that may vest ranges from 0% to 200% of the target amount, depending on achievement of specified performance goals.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Number of shares includes 392,677 RSUs (excluding the impact of shares that will be withheld to cover tax obligations) previously reported that in the future will be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Cohu, Inc. Common Stock immediately upon the vesting dates (assuming continued employment and achievement of specified performance goals).</footnote>
