Equity Award Program Description

Our equity award program is a broad-based, long-term employee retention program that is intended to attract, retain and motivate our employees, executive officers, and directors and to align their interests with those of our shareholders. Our shareholders approved our 2020 Plan at our 2020 annual meeting of shareholders held on March 11, 2020. Under our 2020 Plan, we may grant options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to all employees, executive officers, directors, consultants, and advisors of ADI. All stock options have a maximum term of ten years, and for employees, generally vest in four equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to full or partial acceleration upon death, disability or a change in control. The 2020 Plan does not permit us to grant options at exercise prices that are below the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Generally, our employee time-based RSUs vest in four equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. Our Relative TSR PRSUs have a three-year performance period under which the number of shares of ADI common stock received following vesting, if any, will be based on ADI’s TSR performance measured against the median TSR of a comparator group of companies over the three-year period. The Financial Metric PRSUs that we granted during fiscal year 2024 have a three-year vesting period under which the number of shares of ADI common stock received following vesting, if any, will be based on ADI’s achievement of non-GAAP OPBT targets set by the Compensation and Talent Committee over a three-year cumulative performance period. RSUs and PRSUs granted under the 2020 Plan are subject to full or partial acceleration upon death, disability, or a change in control.

Under our 2006 Plan, we granted options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to all employees, executive officers, directors, consultants, and advisors of ADI. The 2006 Plan expired by its terms on March 12, 2021, but awards outstanding under the 2006 Plan will remain in effect. We have not granted any new awards under the 2006 Plan since our shareholders approved our 2020 Plan on March 11, 2020. All stock options have a term of ten years, and for employees, generally vest in four equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to full or partial acceleration upon death, disability or a change in control. The 2006 Plan did not permit us to grant options at exercise prices that are below the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Generally, our employee time-based RSUs vest in four equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. Our Relative TSR PRSUs have three-year performance periods under which the number of shares of ADI common stock received following vesting, if any, will be based on ADI’s TSR performance measured against the median TSR of a comparator group of companies over the three-year period. Our Financial Metric PRSUs have a three-year vesting period under which the number of shares of ADI common stock received following vesting, if any, will be based on ADI’s achievement of non-GAAP OPBT targets set by the Compensation and Talent Committee for one-year, two-year cumulative and three-year cumulative performance periods. RSUs granted under the 2006 Plan are subject to full or partial acceleration upon death, disability, or a change in control.

Under our 2010 Plan, which we assumed as part of the Linear Technology acquisition, we granted options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to legacy Linear Technology employees. The 2010 Plan expired by its terms on September 15, 2020, but awards outstanding under the 2010 Plan will remain in effect. We have not granted any new awards under the 2010 Plan since our shareholders approved our 2020 Plan on March 10, 2020. All stock options have a term of ten years, and for employees, generally vest in four equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to full or partial acceleration upon death or disability. The 2010 Plan did not permit us to grant options at exercise prices that are below the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Generally, our employee time-based RSUs vest in four equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. RSUs under the 2010 Plan are subject to full or partial acceleration upon death or disability. The Compensation and Talent Committee has discretion to determine the treatment of outstanding awards under the 2010 Plan in the event of a change in control.

In connection with the Maxim acquisition, we assumed and amended and restated the Maxim Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. We also assumed Maxim’s existing share reserve under the 1996 Plan. The 1996 Plan expired by its terms on August 11, 2024, but awards outstanding under the 1996 Plan will remain in effect. Under the 1996 Plan we were permitted to grant options to purchase shares of our common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. There are no stock options outstanding under the 1996 Plan. Employee time-based RSUs and RSAs previously granted by Maxim under the 1996 Plan continue to vest on the same schedule provided under the original

Maxim awards. New RSUs typically will vest in four equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. Generally, stock options, RSUs, and RSAs under the 1996 Plan are subject to full acceleration upon death.

Our shareholders approved our ESPP at our 2022 annual meeting of shareholders, which provides for 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to be available for purchase by eligible employees in accordance with the terms of the plan. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount during consecutive six-month plan periods. Our Board of Directors, the Compensation and Talent Committee, or its delegate will determine the purchase price of the shares in a given plan period, including whether such purchase price will be determined based on the lesser of the closing price of our common stock on the first business day of the plan period and the last business day of the plan period, or will be based solely on the closing price of our common stock on the last day of the plan period; provided, however, that such purchase price shall be, in either case, (i) at least 85% of the applicable closing price in the case of a Section 423 offering under the Internal Revenue Code and (ii) at least 80% of the applicable closing price in the case of a nonqualified offering under the Internal Revenue Code. Employee contributions are made through payroll deductions or other contributions at a specified whole percentage of the participating employee’s compensation, subject to a minimum permitted percentage of 1% and a maximum permitted percentage of 20%. Our Board of Directors, the Compensation and Talent Committee or its delegate may, in its discretion, designate a higher minimum, and/or a lower maximum, contribution rate.

We can make equity award grants to executive officers and directors only from shareholder-approved plans after the Compensation and Talent Committee reviews and approves the grants. All members of the Compensation and Talent Committee are independent directors, as defined by the Nasdaq Rules.
