Narrative to Summary Compensation Table
Base Salaries
We use base salaries to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge, and responsibilities required of all our employees, including our Named Executive Officers. Base salaries are reviewed annually and adjusted from time to time to align salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance, and experience. For the 2025 fiscal year, the annual base salaries for Dr. Gaur, Mr. Gibbons, and Mr. Buch were $620,000, $400,000 and $400,000, respectively. Effective January 1, 2025, to preserve cash Dr. Gaur voluntarily agreed to a 50% reduction in his salary for fiscal year 2025.
Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation
Each of our Named Executive Officers is eligible to earn a performance-based annual cash bonus based on achievement of pre-established company and individual performance criteria established by our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee in their discretion. For the 2025 fiscal year, the target annual bonus for each of Dr. Gaur, Mr. Gibbons, and Mr. Buch was equal to 80%, 50%, and 50%, respectively, of their annual base salary. However, no annual performance bonuses were earned or paid to our Named Executive Officers for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years.
Equity Compensation
We believe that equity grants provide our executives with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executives with our stockholders. In addition, we believe that equity grants with a time-based vesting feature promote executive retention because this feature incentivizes our executive officers to remain in our employment during the vesting period.
Independent Compensation Consultant
In assessing and setting the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee has engaged Pearl Meyer & Partner LLC ("Pearl Meyer") as its independent compensation consultant. Pearl Meyer advises the Compensation
Committee on best practices in executive compensation and provides the Compensation Committee with market data in an effort to ensure our compensation program is competitive and designed to attract, retain, and incentivize our Named Executive Officers.

Additional Narrative Disclosure
Employee Benefits
Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in our welfare benefit plans, including medical, dental, vision, basic life and accidental death & dismemberment, and short-term and long- term disability insurance benefits, in each case on the same basis as all of our other employees.
401(k) Plan
Allurion participates in the ADP TotalSource Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), which provides eligible U.S. employees (including our Named Executive Officers) with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax advantaged basis. Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees may defer eligible compensation subject to applicable annual contribution limits imposed by the Internal Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Allurion’s employees’ contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and employees may begin participating after an initial 90 day waiting period. Under the provisions of the 401(k) Plan, Allurion makes 2% matching contributions and may make discretionary non-matching contributions, as determined by our Board of Directors. The 401(k) Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code with the 401(k) Plan’s related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) Plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) Plan.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy
Effective as of October 15, 2025, our Board of Directors amended and restated the Director Compensation Policy (the "Amended Director Compensation Policy"). Under the Amended Director Compensation Policy, our non-employee directors are eligible to receive cash retainers (which are payable quarterly in arrears and prorated for partial years of service) and equity awards as set forth below. In addition, we reimburse non-employee directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board of Directors or committees. We do not pay additional compensation for attending individual meetings of our Board of Directors.
| Annual Retainer for Board Membership | $25,000 |

| Additional Annual Retainer for Non-Executive Chair | 25,000 |
| Additional Annual Retainer for Committee Membership | |
| Audit Committee Chairperson | 10,000 |
| Audit Committee Member (other than Chairperson) | 5,000 |

Initial Award: The Amended Director Compensation policy provides that each new non-employee director upon his or her initial election or appointment to the Board of Directors will be granted an initial, one-time restricted stock unit award ("Initial Award") with a value to be determined by the Board. Each Initial Award shall vest in equal annual installments over three years from the grant date, subject to continued service as a director through each vesting date.
Annual Award: On the date of each annual meeting of stockholders, or on such date as determined by the Board of Directors, the continuing non-employee directors ("Outside Directors") as a whole will receive an annual restricted stock unit award with a value equal to 0.5% of total shares of common stock then outstanding (the "Aggregate Annual Award") From this Aggregate Annual Award, each Outside Director, shall receive an individual annual award ("Annual Award") equal to the total number of RSUs underlying the Aggregate Annual Award divided by the number of Outside Directors then serving on the Board, provided that no Outside Director shall be entitled to an Annual Award if he or she received an Initial Award within six months prior to the date that the non-employee director would otherwise receive an Annual Award. Annual Awards shall vest in full on the earlier of the (i) first anniversary of the date of grant or (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders; provided however, that all vesting shall cease if the director resigns from the Board of Directors or otherwise ceases to serve as a director, unless the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting; and provided, further, that if such Annual Award is not granted at an annual meeting, then in no event shall any grant be made: (i) during a Company blackout period or when any non-employee director is in possession of material non-public information or (ii) if such grant would otherwise constitute a “spring-loaded award” (as defined in the Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120). The vesting of all outstanding initial restricted stock unit awards and annual restricted stock unit awards held by non-employee directors will fully accelerate upon a “sale event” (as defined in our 2023 Plan).
For purposes of determining the size of each restricted stock unit award, the Director Compensation Policy defines “value” as the product of (A) the average closing market price on the NYSE (or such other market on which our common stock is then principally listed) of one share of our common stock over the trailing 30-day period ending on the last day of the month immediately prior to the month of the grant date, and (B) the aggregate number of shares of our common stock underlying such award.
On May 9, 2025, in the interest of preserving cash, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, determined to stop receiving cash compensation and instead, receive the value of that compensation in Restricted Stock Awards. On that date, the Board also determined to receive such Restricted Stock Awards, along with any annual equity awards, after the Company was able to replenish the shares available under its 2023 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan.
