The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Dr. Vinciarelli (our Chief Executive Officer) for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to “Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal 2023.”

The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Dr. Vinciarelli, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Dr. Vinciarelli during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to Dr. Vinciarelli’s total compensation for each year to determine the compensation actually paid:

(a)

The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.

(b)

The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:

The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for the Corporation’s Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) as a group (excluding Dr. Vinciarelli, who has served as our CEO for each of the years shown). The names of each of the NEOs (excluding Dr. Vinciarelli) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2023 and 2022, James F. Schmidt, Philip D. Davies, Michael S. McNamara and Claudio Tuozzolo; (ii) for 2021, James F. Schmidt, James A. Simms, Richard J. Nagel Jr., Philip D. Davies, Michael S. McNamara and Claudio Tuozzolo; and (iii) for 2020, James A. Simms, Philip D. Davies, Michael S. McNamara and Claudio Tuozzolo.

The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs as a group (excluding Dr. Vinciarelli), as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding Dr. Vinciarelli) during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the NEOs as a group (excluding Dr. Vinciarelli) for each year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in footnote 2:

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.

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.

The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Corporation’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

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:

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.

Diluted EPS

Revenue Growth

Gross Margin Percentage
