    The Board presently consists of eight members, seven of whom are independent directors. The current terms of the directors expire at the Annual Meeting. The Board, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has nominated all current directors for re-election other than Mr. Tamer who notified the Board in January of 2025 of his decision to not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. If elected, each director will hold office until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”) and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Teradyne has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve; however, if any nominee is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve as a director, the discretionary authority provided in the enclosed proxy will be exercised to vote for a substitute candidate designated by the Board, unless the Board chooses to reduce its own size.

  21. Fiscal 2024 Compensation Highlights

    Fiscal 2024 Compensation Highlights For 2024, the performance-based compensation for the Company’s named executive officers was tied to the Company’s PBIT, two-year rolling revenue growth rate, vital goals, diversity metrics, and relative TSR. As discussed below, as a result of the challenging performance goals set by the Compensation Committee, combined with the continued market softness in certain sectors, Teradyne’s named executive officers received below-target payouts for their 2024 performance-based variable cash compensation, except for Mr. Burns who received a slightly above target payout as a result of the strong performance of the Semiconductor Test business. Further, as a result of our performance against our three-year 2022 performance-based RSU targets, Teradyne’s named executive officers earned 50% of their 2022 target performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") following the conclusion of the 2022 to 2024 performance period.

  22. Our Compensation Philosophy

    | Pay For Performance | Link executive officer compensation closely to corporate performance and reward an appropriate balance of near- and long-term results | | Competitive Excellence | Encourage competitive excellence of Teradyne’s products and services and motivate executive officers to exceed financial and operational targets | | Risk Management | Motivate executive officers to achieve our short-term and long-term operating and financial goals without encouraging excessive or inappropriate risk taking | | Shareholder Alignment | Align the interests of executive officers with the interests of our shareholders | | Attract and Retain | Attract and retain qualified executive officers |

  23. 2024 Executive Compensation Summary

    2024 Executive Compensation Summary The four core elements of our named executive officer direct compensation are base salary, an annual variable cash incentive opportunity, an annual profit-sharing opportunity or growth bonus opportunity, as applicable and described in detail below, and annual equity awards. The graphic below reflects the approximate general distribution of these four core elements of named executive officer target total direct compensation awarded during 2024. For purposes of the charts below, performance-based restricted stock units are valued based on target level of achievement.

  24. 2024 Executive Compensation Summary

    | Incentive Plan | Changes | Rationale | | Variable Cash Compensation Program | • Decreased the component weighting at target for PBIT metric to 19.5% (from 30%) and increased the Vital Goals metric to 48.75% (from 40%) of the company-wide performance assessment of the variable cash compensation payout percentage | • Encourages the attainment of vital strategic business goals intended to further align executive compensation with both Teradyne’s short-term financial and operating strategy and its long-term profitable growth strategy • More appropriately balances the weighting of profitability-related metrics in the total target compensation of our executive officers after taking into account our Cash Profit Sharing Plan | | | • Consistent with our historical practice, the threshold, target and maximum two-year rolling revenue growth rate and PBIT rate achievement goals were informed by the 10th percentile, 50th percentile and 90th percentile of the “VC Comparison Group” (further described below), respectively, resulting in the following two-year rolling revenue growth and PBIT rate achievement goals for 2024: o Threshold, target and maximum two-year rolling revenue growth rate achievement goals were set at -6%, 7%, and 19%, respectively o Threshold, target and maximum PBIT rate achievement goals were set at 11%, 21% and 39%, respectively | • Sets appropriately stringent financial goals in consideration of the performance and market trends of our peers and other comparable companies | | | • Added a gender representation goal measured on the year-over-year change in gender representation at Teradyne globally and in the U.S. | • We believe in promoting equal opportunities in the workforce. We will be reconsidering the gender representation metric for 2025. | | Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (PSUs) | • Consistent with our historical practice, the threshold, target and maximum PBIT rate achievement goals were set at the 10th percentile, 50th percentile and 90th percentile of the “VC Comparison Group”, resulting in threshold, target and maximum PBIT rate achievement goals set at 11%, 21% and 39%, respectively | • Sets appropriately stringent financial goals commensurate with the performance and market trends of our peers and other comparable companies |

  25. Compensation Practices and Governance Policies

    | What We Do | What We Don’t Do | | Pay for Performance. Performance-based pay represents a significant portion of our named executive officers’ target direct compensation Balanced Mix of Short- and Long-Term Compensation. Appropriate balance between short-term and long-term compensation to discourage short-term risk taking at the expense of long-term results Double-Trigger Change in Control Benefits. Our named executive officer change of control agreements are “double-trigger” Clawback Policy. We maintain a clawback policy for the recovery of incentive compensation paid to executive officers in the event of a financial restatement that is compliant with Nasdaq listing standards and SEC requirements Robust Stock Ownership Guidelines. Executive officer stock ownership guidelines require significant ownership. Beginning in fiscal year 2025, the executive officer stock ownership guidelines for our CEO, CFO and President, Semiconductor Test were made even more stringent Independent Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee is composed solely of independent directors Independent Compensation Consultant. Our Compensation Committee directly retains Compensia as an independent compensation consultant Annual Advisory Say-on-Pay Vote. We hold an annual advisory say-on-pay vote and approximately 89% of votes cast approved the compensation of our named executive officers in 2023 | No Excessive Risks. Annual risk assessment of executive compensation program to ensure no excessive risk taking No Single Trigger Vesting. Equity awards will not automatically accelerate in the event of a Change of Control No Excessive Change in Control Payments. Cash change in control payments do not exceed two times annual model cash incentive compensation No Excise Tax Gross Ups. We do not provide for “golden parachute” excise tax gross ups No Excessive Perks. We do not provide any excessive perquisites to our named executive officers No Hedging or Pledging. All employees, including our named executive officers and our directors, are prohibited from engaging in hedging or pledging our stock as collateral for a loan No Dividend Payments on Unvested Awards. Dividends and dividend equivalents will only be paid out when awards vest No Repricing or Cash-out of Underwater Options. Our 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan forbids the repricing and cash-out of underwater options without shareholders approval |

  26. 2024 Executive Compensation

    | | | Core Compensation Element | Purpose | Key Characteristics | | | | | | | | | | Base Salary | • Compensates our executive officers for expected levels of day-to-day performance | • Reflects expertise and scope of responsibilities in a competitive market for executive talent | | | | | | | | | | Annual Variable Cash Opportunity | • Aligns executive officer performance with near-term financial and organizational objectives | • Multiple performance metrics: o Including financial and organizational performance and gender representation metrics • Requires significant levels of achievement before payments are earned | | | | Annual Profit Sharing Award Opportunity | • Allows eligible employees to participate in our growth by encouraging performance that increases profit | • Distributes 10% of Teradyne’s GAAP pre-tax profit (excluding its Robotics businesses, Wireless Test Division, and the Avionics Interface Technologies business) to all eligible employees, including executive officers • Each division excluded from the 10% GAAP pre-tax profit pool described above, including Robotics, is eligible to receive a profit-sharing or growth plan cash incentive based on certain specified financial goals, except for the Avionic Interface Technologies business | | | | | | | | | | Annual Performance-based RSUs | • Aligns interests of executive officers with long-term shareholder interests through incentivizing PBIT and relative stock price growth over a multi-year performance period • Modifier helps align payouts with shareholder experience • Encourages retention | • 50% of the performance-based RSUs vest based upon the determination of Teradyne’s TSR performance relative to the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index over a three-year performance period • 50% of the performance-based RSUs vest based on three-year cumulative PBIT | | | | Annual Time-based RSUs | • Aligns interests of executive officers with long-term shareholder interests as their value is tried to stock price growth • Encourages retention | • Four-year vesting subject to continued employment | | | | Stock Options | • Aligns interests of executive officers with long-term shareholder interests through incentivizing long-term stock price growth as stock options only become valuable if the stock price increases from the grant date • Encourages retention | • Four-year vesting subject to continued employment • Expire seven years after the applicable grant date |

  27. Variable Cash Compensation Program

    (1) Teradyne is not disclosing the specific performance target levels for these goals in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis section because they represent confidential, commercially sensitive information that Teradyne does not disclose to the public and it believes, if disclosed, would cause competitive harm. The target levels for such performance measures, such as product development, market share, new product introductions and margin goals for new and existing products, are inherently competitive and, if disclosed, would provide valuable insight into specific customers, markets and areas where Teradyne is focusing. In establishing the threshold, target and maximum two-year rolling revenue growth rate and PBIT rate achievement goals, the Compensation Committee reviewed the 2023 revenue growth rate and PBIT rate of all companies in the S&P 500, our 2024 peer group (as further described in the section below entitled “Competitive Positioning”) and the additional semiconductor companies described in the table below (collectively, the “VC Comparison Group”) and, after consultation with its independent compensation consultant, set the threshold, target and maximum two-year rolling revenue growth rate and PBIT rate achievement goals for the 2024 variable cash compensation program at the 10th percentile, 50th percentile and 90th percentile of the VC Comparison Group, respectively.

  30. 2024 Equity Awards

    2024 Equity Awards Equity compensation is designed to align executive compensation with shareholder return, motivate longer-term Company performance, and attract, retain and reward talented individuals. Teradyne’s equity compensation program provides three types of equity incentives:

  31. 2024 Equity Awards

    | Type of Equity Incentive | Description | | Performance-Based RSUs | Split equally between awards that vest based on the achievement of TSR and cumulative PBIT percentage, in each case, measured at the end of a three-year performance period | | Time-Based RSUs | Vest in equal installments annually over four years conditioned upon continued service, which supports Teradyne’s employee retention efforts |

  32. 2024 Equity Awards

    | Stock Options | Vest in equal installments annually over four years conditioned upon continued service, where executives only benefit if Teradyne’s stock price appreciates |

  33. 2024 Equity Awards

    Equity awards are made under the shareholder-approved 2006 Plan. The grant date value of awards granted to the named executive officers is based upon peer group data provided by Compensia, global survey data, and each executive’s relative contribution, performance and responsibility within the organization. The Compensation Committee assesses these factors each year for each executive officer. In January 2024, the Compensation Committee, and, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, the independent members of the Board, approved the 2024 equity awards for the named executive officers. The Compensation Committee and the independent members of the Board determined it was appropriate to continue to award equity in 2024 in the form of performance-based RSUs, time-based RSUs and non-qualified stock options in the proportions set forth below.

  34. 2024 Equity Awards

    | Performance-Based RSUs | Time-Based RSUs | Stock Options | | | | |

  35. 2024 Equity Awards

    In setting the 2024 equity award levels, the Compensation Committee considered benchmarking data against our peer group and generally aimed for the 50th-percentile when setting the final values. The 2023 and 2024 target equity award values for the named executive officers are set forth below:

    | COMPENSATION FACTORS | | | | Internal Equity | Competitive Market Data(1) | Other Benefits Provided(2) | | Individual and Corporate Performance | General and Industry-Specific Business Environment | Roles and Responsibilities of Each Executive Officer |

  61. Annual Equity Awards

    Annual Equity Awards Prior to the beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee also approves an overall annual equity budget to be used for awards to executive officers, directors and employees, including new hires. Various factors are used in determining the annual equity award budget, including the total projected compensation expense to be incurred as a result of the equity awards, “overhang” from previously issued and outstanding awards, burn rates and competitive market data from the peer group, global survey data and compensation surveys. The Compensation Committee uses the stock price on the date of grant methodology as its calculation of the value of the awards for purposes of comparison with the equity values for peer companies and with prior year equity values for the named executive officers. The methodology used by the Compensation Committee creates a 6% lower valuation for performance-based RSUs with a three-year TSR target and a 2% lower valuation for all other equity. The independent members of the Board determine the award types and grant date value for the Chief Executive Officer and the Compensation Committee determines the award types and grant date value for each other executive officer. Management approves equity awards for all other employees within the overall equity budget pursuant to a delegation of authority from the Compensation Committee.

  62. Competitive Positioning

    Competitive Positioning To ensure its compensation is competitive, Teradyne makes extensive use of comparative data for its worldwide employee programs and its executive officer compensation. This includes data gathered from surveys, the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant, and public filings. For purposes of determining 2024 compensation, the Compensation Committee asked Compensia to develop a competitive analysis of Teradyne’s peer companies, to analyze executive pay packages and to advise on the relationship of Teradyne’s short-term and long-term performance incentives to total compensation. In August 2023, Compensia recommended to the Compensation Committee a peer group that reflects organizations of comparable size (approximately $1 billion to $10.6 billion in revenue and approximately $7 billion to $64.5 billion market capitalization) and operations (product type and geographic scope) to Teradyne and that provides an appropriate sample size for comparisons. The Compensation Committee reviewed and approved a peer group that included the 17 companies listed below:

  63. Competitive Positioning

    | Teradyne 2024 Peer Group | | | Cadence Design Systems | ON Semiconductor | | Cognex | PTC | | Entegris | Qorvo | | Fortive(1) | Rockwell Automation | | Keysight Technologies | Skyworks Solutions | | KLA-Tencor | Teledyne Technologies | | Marvell Technology | Trimble Navigation | | Microchip Technology | Zebra Technologies | | MKS Instruments | |

  64. Competitive Positioning

    For 2024, the Compensation Committee revised our peer group to (i) exclude Analog Devices, Inc. as its revenue and market capitalization were determined to be disproportionate compared to Teradyne and (ii) add Fortive as its revenue and market capitalization were more appropriate for purposes of comparison with Teradyne’s business profile and otherwise met the criteria required for inclusion in the peer group. At the time the peer group was approved, Teradyne was below the median of the peer group in terms of revenue (10th percentile), and below the median of the peer group in terms of market capitalization (40th percentile).

  65. Summary Compensation Table

  81. Pension Benefits Table for 2024

    Pension Benefits Table for 2024 The Company offers a qualified Retirement Plan and a non-qualified SERP. In 1999, the Company closed both plans to new members. At that time, all employees were offered the choice to continue to participate in the Retirement Plan and accrue benefits, or to opt for an additional Company match in the 401(k) Plan in lieu of continued participation in the Retirement Plan. In November 2009, the Board voted to freeze the benefits under the Retirement Plan for any employee who participated in both the Retirement Plan and the final average pay variant of the SERP. These employees continue to receive the same retirement benefits, but through the SERP rather than through accruals in the Retirement Plan. None of our named executive officers are accruing benefits under the Retirement Plan or the SERP. The SERP pension formula is identical to that of the Retirement Plan, except an employee’s eligible earnings are based on the employee’s highest consecutive 60 months of actual base salary, actual cash profit sharing and target variable compensation and actual years of service. The resulting benefit is then reduced by the benefit payable from the Retirement Plan. There is no provision in the Retirement Plan or the SERP to grant extra years of credited service. To calculate the present value of the accumulated benefit under the Retirement Plan and the SERP, Teradyne’s actuaries used the same assumptions as used in Teradyne’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, a discount rate of 5.45% for the Retirement Plan and a discount rate of 5.35% for the SERP. Similar to most pension plans, Teradyne’s Retirement Plan was designed such that the annual present value of the accrued benefit associated with the plan increases significantly as an employee both approaches retirement and increases his or her years of service. Other factors that can influence year-on-year changes include one-time items such as discount rate changes, information updates, or mortality rate changes. The table below shows the present value, as of December 31, 2024, of accumulated benefits payable to our named executive officers under the Retirement Plan or SERP. As shown below, none of our named executive officers are entitled to benefits under the Retirement Plan or SERP.

  83. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table for 2024

    Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table for 2024 The Company maintains the Supplemental Savings Plan, which allows certain eligible employees who are actively employed by Teradyne to defer compensation in excess of limits under the 401(k) Plan and to receive supplemental matching contributions from the Company. In addition, employees who participate in the variable cash compensation plan may defer up to 85% of each year’s variable cash compensation payment into the Supplemental Savings Plan. The Supplemental Savings Plan is unfunded and is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or “highly compensated employees” as defined in ERISA. In general, under the Supplemental Savings Plan, distribution of the deferrals and the vested matching contributions are made in one lump sum upon the participant’s retirement, disability or other termination of employment. In addition to the conditions of the Supplemental Savings Plan itself, certain restrictions are imposed by Section 409A of the Code regarding when participants will receive distributions under the Supplemental Savings Plan. Because the Supplemental Savings Plan is intended to be an ERISA excess plan, the investment options available to participants are similar to those provided in the 401(k) Plan. Employees select the investment options from a portfolio of mutual funds. The earnings are credited based on the actual performance of the selected mutual funds. The table below shows the aggregate balance of the deferred compensation amounts in the Supplemental Savings Plan for each named executive officer as of December 31, 2024 (only Messrs. Mehta, Burns and Driscoll participated in this plan as of this date).

  89. Potential Payments upon Termination or Termination Following a Change in Control

    (1) Other than the entitlements in the Variable Compensation Plan and performance-based RSUs as described above, none of the named executive officers have an agreement to receive any salary continuation, bonus, benefits continuation, acceleration of equity or other payment in the event such named executive officer voluntarily terminates his or her employment with Teradyne without “Good Reason” or if the employment of that named executive officer is terminated by Teradyne for cause. (2) The amounts reported in this column for Not for Cause, Disability, Death and Retirement reflect the pro-rated variable cash compensation that would be payable based on actual performance to each of the named executive officers; the amounts for Change in Control represent prorated variable cash incentives at target for each of the named executive officers; the Not for Cause scenario assumes terminations for Messrs. Smith and Burns would also be considered a retirement. The Change in Control amounts represent the value of the performance and non-performance-based RSUs and the in-the-money value of stock options that would accelerate upon termination of employment by the Company without cause or by the executive officer for good reason following a change in control as described above in the "Change in Control Agreements" section; performance awards are shown at target levels. Amounts for Not for Cause (for Messrs. Smith and Burns), Death, and Retirement (for Messrs. Smith and Burns) represent pro-rated values of performance-based RSUs granted in 2024 (assuming target results); full values of performance-based RSUs granted prior to 2024 (assuming target results for the 2023 awards and reflecting actual results for the 2022 awards) and time-based RSUs; and the in-the-money value of stock options. Amounts for Disability reflect continued vesting while an employee is out on disability for a maximum of 24 months. Mr. Smith's amount upon termination of employment by the Company Not for Cause represents the value of the performance-based RSUs that would continue to vest for 36 months (assuming target results for the 2023 and 2024 grants and reflecting actual results for the 2022 awards), the full value of time-based RSUs, and the in-the-money value of stock options that would continue to vest for 24 months. Mr. Smith is eligible to receive a two-year severance payment, in the event of termination due to disability, to the extent he is not eligible to receive disability insurance, which payment is reduced by any compensation Mr. Smith receives from other employment. (5) Mr. Mehta is eligible to receive a one-year severance payment, in the event of termination due to disability, to the extent he is not eligible to receive disability insurance, which payment is reduced by any compensation Mr. Mehta receives from other employment.

  90. CEO Pay Ratio

    CEO Pay Ratio As required by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, Teradyne is providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of its employees to the annual total compensation of Mr. Smith, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer who was serving in such office on December 31, 2024. The pay ratio information included below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. For 2024, Teradyne’s last completed fiscal year: • the median of the annual total compensation of all Teradyne employees (other than the Chief Executive Officer) was $116,338; • the annual total compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table of this proxy statement, was $11,760,656; and • the ratio of the annual total compensation of the Chief Executive Officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was approximately 101:1. To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all its employees (the “median employee”), the Company examined the target total cash compensation for all employees, excluding our Chief Executive Officer, who were employed by the Company on the Company’s determination date, November 30, 2023. “Target total cash compensation” consists of model cash compensation plus any target profit share payments. The Company used target total cash compensation for all employees as its consistently applied compensation measure because it reasonably reflects the Company’s annual compensation structure. Given its global population, the Company used currency exchange rates as of November 30, 2023 to determine target total cash compensation and therefore the median employee. The Company included all employees in all countries, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, temporary or seasonal basis. The Company did not use any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the median employee. Using target total cash compensation as the consistently applied compensation measure, the Company determined the median employee is a field applications engineer working in Asia. Teradyne calculated annual total compensation for the median employee using the same methodology it used for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table of this proxy statement. As the median employee was not paid in US dollars, the Company used currency exchange rates as of November 8, 2024 to determine the median employee’s annual total compensation for 2024.

    The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the Morningstar Global Semiconductor Equipment and Materials GR USD Industry Group (“Morningstar Global Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Index”), which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the Morningstar Global Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. (5) We determined PBIT to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs in 2024. PBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure. See Appendix A of this proxy statement for additional on PBIT and the reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
