Voting by Mail. If you received or requested printed proxy materials, then by signing and returning the proxy or voter instruction card according to the enclosed instructions, you are enabling our Chief Executive Officer, Charles (CJ) Prober, and our Chief Financial Officer, Bryan D. Murray, who are named on the proxy as “proxies and attorneys-in-fact,” to vote your shares as proxy holders at the Annual Meeting

in the manner you indicate. We encourage you to sign and return the proxy or voter instruction card even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. In this way, your shares will be voted even if you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting.

Your shares will be voted in accordance with the instructions you indicate on the proxy or voter instruction card. If you submit the proxy or voter instruction card, but do not indicate your voting instructions, your shares will be voted as follows:

•

FOR the election of the director nominees identified in Proposal One;

•

FOR the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026; and

•

FOR the non-binding advisory proposal regarding executive compensation.

If you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, you may vote your shares electronically by using the 16-digit control number on your Notice, proxy card, or voting instruction form and following the instructions at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NTGR2026. If you have already voted previously by telephone or Internet, there is no need to vote again at the Annual Meeting unless you wish to revoke and change your vote.

To reduce the expenses of delivering duplicate voting materials to our stockholders who may have more than one NETGEAR stock account, we are delivering only one set of the voting materials to certain stockholders who share an address unless otherwise requested. For stockholders receiving printed proxy materials, a separate proxy card is included in the voting materials for each of these stockholders. If you share an address with another stockholder and have received only one set of voting materials, you may request a separate copy of these materials at no cost to you by writing our Corporate Secretary at NETGEAR, Inc., 3553 North First Street, San Jose, California 95134, or calling our Corporate Secretary at (408) 907-8000. For future annual meetings, you may request separate voting materials, or request that we send only one set of voting materials to you if you are receiving multiple copies, by writing or calling our Corporate Secretary. You may receive a copy of NETGEAR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 including the Consolidated Financial Statements, schedules and list of exhibits, and any particular exhibit specifically requested by sending a written request to NETGEAR, Inc., 3553 North First Street, San Jose, California 95134, Attn: Corporate Secretary.
