    | PROPOSAL 1 Election of Directors | | | | The Board recommends that the stockholders vote FOR each of the nominees. |

  8. BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS IN 2024

    At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors are elected for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders to succeed those directors whose terms are expiring. The persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote to elect as directors the nominees designated by the Board, whose names are listed below, unless the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has indicated his or her willingness to serve, if elected. However, if a nominee should be unable to serve, the shares of common stock represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board. There are no family relationships between or among any officers or directors of Entegris. Majority Voting for Directors The Company’s by-laws provide that, in an uncontested director election, a director-nominee will be elected only if the number of votes cast “for” the nominee exceeds the number of votes cast “against” the nominee. Directors are elected by a plurality vote in any “contested” election, which is defined as an election where the number of nominees exceeds the number of directorships to be filled. The by-laws prohibit the Board from nominating for election (or filling a vacancy or newly created directorship with) any candidate who has not agreed in advance to submit an irrevocable resignation that would take effect upon (a) the failure to receive the required majority vote for re-election in the next election, and (b) the Board’s acceptance of such resignation. The by-laws impose a similar requirement on director-nominees nominated by stockholders. All nominees for election as director listed above have agreed to tender such a resignation. If an incumbent director does not receive the required vote for re-election, the Governance & Nominating Committee will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept the director’s resignation. The Board will consider this recommendation and determine, within 90 days after certification of the election results, whether to accept the director’s resignation and will promptly disclose its decision (including the reasons underlying the decision) in a filing with the SEC. Board of Directors Selection of Directors Identification of Potential Nominees The Governance & Nominating Committee is responsible for managing the process for nomination of new directors. The committee may identify potential candidates for first-time nomination as a director using a variety of sources, such as recommendations from our management, current directors, stockholders or contacts in communities served by Entegris, or by conducting a formal search using an outside search firm selected by the Governance & Nominating Committee. Following the identification of a potential director-nominee, the Governance & Nominating Committee commences an inquiry to obtain information concerning the background of that person. Included in this inquiry is an initial review of the candidate with respect to the following factors: (1) whether the individual meets the minimum qualifications for first-time director nominees specified in the Corporate Governance Guidelines and described in further detail below; (2) whether the individual would be considered independent under applicable rules of Nasdaq and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); and (3) whether the individual would meet any additional requirements imposed by law or regulation on the members of the Audit & Finance Committee and/or the Management Development & Compensation Committee of the Board.

  10. BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS IN 2024

    Evaluation of Potential Nominees The Governance & Nominating Committee evaluates candidates for director nominees in the context of the current composition of the Board, taking into account all factors it considers appropriate, including but not limited to the characteristics of independence, desired mix of skills, experience, availability for service to Entegris, tenure and age of incumbent directors on the Board and the anticipated needs of the Board. The Governance & Nominating Committee believes that the assessment of potential nominees to be recommended by the Governance & Nominating Committee should include consideration of the following factors: (i) a capacity for, or a record of, making valuable contributions to the business community; (ii) personal qualities of leadership, character, judgment and a reputation in the community at large of integrity, trust, respect, competence and adherence to high ethical standards; (iii) experience in the semiconductor/microelectronics industry or in other relevant industries; (iv) whether the candidate is free of conflicts and has the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at all meetings; (v) candor and willingness to operate on a team and to seek consensus; and (vi) relevant knowledge and diversity of background and experience in areas such as business, manufacturing, technology, finance and accounting, marketing, international business, government and similar fields. In addition, at least one member of the Board should have accounting or related financial management expertise, as determined in the business judgment of the Board. Stockholder Recommendations The Governance & Nominating Committee will consider potential nominees recommended for consideration by our stockholders, taking into account the same considerations as are taken into account for other potential nominees. Stockholders may recommend candidates by writing to the Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee in care of the Company’s Corporate Secretary at Entegris, Inc., 129 Concord Road, Building 3, Billerica, MA 01821. Our by-laws provide for additional procedures and requirements for stockholders wishing to nominate a director for election as part of the official business to be conducted at an annual stockholders meeting, as further described in the section “Miscellaneous Information on Voting and the Annual Meeting” under the question “What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?” below. In addition, as noted above, our by-laws require that all nominees, as a condition of being nominated, agree to submit an irrevocable resignation that would take effect upon (a) the failure to receive the required vote for re-election in the next election, and (b) the Board’s acceptance of such resignation.

  50. DIRECTOR NOMINATION PROCESS

    (1)Bertrand Loy, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors, is not included in this table as he receives no compensation for his services as a director because he is an employee of the Company. Information with respect to compensation paid to Mr. Loy is included in the Summary Compensation Table under “Executive Compensation” below. (2)Mr. Anderson resigned from the Board of Directors in July 2024 due to his desire to focus on his new role as Chief Executive Officer of Coherent Corp. and forfeited his stock awards granted in 2024. (3)Ms. Puma received a prorated cash retainer and equity award upon her appointment to the Board of Directors in September 2024. (4)Mr. Reeder became entitled to a cash retainer and received an equity award upon his appointment to the Board of Directors in March 2024. Due to an administrative error, Mr. Reeder was paid the full amount of his 2024 cash fees in January 2025. (5)Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of awards of RSUs to each director during 2024, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding estimated forfeitures. Each active director as of December 31, 2024 holds 1,643 outstanding unvested RSUs with the exception of Ms. Puma who holds 1,207 shares. Mr. Anderson forfeited his unvested shares upon resignation. Stock Ownership Guidelines for Directors During 2024, the Board maintained stock ownership guidelines for non-employee directors to align director interests with those of Entegris stockholders. This alignment is a critical objective of the equity awards discussed above. Under these guidelines, each director is required to hold shares of Entegris common stock with a value equal to five times the annual cash retainer for directors generally in effect at the time of each annual determination. Determination of compliance with these guidelines is made as of January 15th of each year. Compliance is calculated based on the average of the prior calendar year’s month-end closing prices for Entegris common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Shares of Entegris common stock that are owned by a director outright as well as vested deferred shares/units count towards compliance with these guidelines. Directors have five years following their initial election or appointment to the Board or the date on which the Stock Ownership Guidelines were adopted to achieve the minimum holding required by the guidelines. In addition, the Board maintains stock ownership guidelines for executive officers.

    In addition, in establishing its executive compensation policies for a given year, the Compensation Committee considers the results of the most recent stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation and determines whether any changes are appropriate. Components of 2024 Compensation The 2024 Entegris compensation program for senior executives, including the named executive officers, consisted of a number of elements that are summarized in the following table. Due to Entegris’ focus on short- and long-term incentive compensation, a meaningful portion of each executive officer’s target total direct compensation is dependent on the Company’s performance. Approximately 93% of the Chief Executive Officer’s target total direct compensation and an average of approximately 79% of the target total direct compensation for the other named executive officers was “variable,” i.e., dependent on the Company’s performance. In the graphics below, “fixed” compensation is composed of 2024 target base salary, while “variable” compensation is composed of 2024 target Entegris Incentive Plan (“EIP”) awards and 2024 annual long-term incentive compensation grants consisting of RSUs, stock options and PSUs.

The purposes of our long-term incentive awards are to: •Promote executive ownership of our stock; •Promote retention of executives in a competitive labor market over the longer term; •Encourage management focus on critical performance metrics creating value for stockholders; and •Align the program with peer group and market practices, where appropriate. | No changes to the type and mix of long-term incentive awards were made for 2024. Named executive officers received time-vested RSUs (weighted 40%), time-vested stock options (weighted 30%) and PSUs (weighted 30%). Following a comprehensive design review of Entegris’ long-term incentive program, Management has recommended, and the Compensation Committee has committed to, increasing the weighting of PSUs to 50% or higher of the equity award mix commencing with equity awards made in 2026. | | | |

  58. OTHER COMPENSATION

    Compensation Decisions in 2024 Base Salary In general, base salary for each employee, including the named executive officers, is established based on the individual’s job responsibilities, performance and experience, the competitive environment and executive-specific factors such as individual performance, job scope, retention risk and tenure. Each year, we survey the compensation practices of companies serving the semiconductor and other industries deemed relevant as well as general market pay practices for executives in the United States and in other countries in which we have significant employee populations in order to assess the competitiveness of the compensation we offer. In addition, for senior executives, including the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee evaluates base salary against corresponding compensation data from our peer group and national technology industry survey data scoped to the Company’s size. In fiscal year 2024, we continued to target base salary at the median of the peer group and survey reference points compiled by F.W. Cook, adjusted for executive-specific factors such as individual performance, job scope, retention risk and tenure. The percent changes in annual base salary from 2023 to 2024 for each of the named executive officers are reflected in the table below.

  59. OTHER COMPENSATION

    | Performance Metrics | Relation to Our Strategy | Incentive Programs Represented In | | Adjusted EBITDA as Percentage of Net Sales | The Compensation Committee believes that Adjusted EBITDA (defined as net income before interest income, interest expense, intangible amortization, depreciation, acquisition and integration costs, acquired inventory step-up amortization, restructuring costs, goodwill impairment, impairment on long-lived assets, deal and transaction costs, and gain or loss on sale of businesses, but excluding acquisition operating income, with income tax expense added back) as a percentage of net sales is an important measure of our performance because it measures our profitability and financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a key financial metric that we use internally to measure ongoing financial performance. | Entegris Incentive Plan | | Revenue Growth in Excess of our Markets | The Compensation Committee believes that our organic business growth (defined as revenue growth excluding revenue from the first twelve months of our operation of acquired businesses, on a constant currency basis, over a market index based on wafer starts and semiconductor industry capital spending based on independent external third-party data) provides a valuable measure of our financial performance relative to our primary industry. Because this metric measures growth relative to the semiconductor industry, it only rewards growth above the industry and is agnostic to general industry-wide growth. | Entegris Incentive Plan | | Inventory Velocity Improvement | The Compensation Committee believes that effectively managing our inventory levels is a key factor in achieving a robust operating cash flow and ensuring excellence in our supply chain management processes. | Entegris Incentive Plan | | On-Time Shipment Performance | The Compensation Committee believes that measuring our ability to meet our commitments when shipping products to our customers is an effective measure of operational excellence and customer service levels. | Entegris Incentive Plan | | Relative TSR | The Compensation Committee believes that TSR as compared with the TSR achieved by the companies that comprise the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index over a three-year period provides an important comparison of how well we are driving stockholder value compared to companies facing similar industry conditions and against which we compete for business, investors and employees. | Long-term incentive compensation |

  60. OTHER COMPENSATION

    Short-Term Incentive Compensation Entegris has, for a number of years, maintained a short-term variable incentive compensation program, the EIP, which provides for a potential cash award based upon the achievement of annual financial criteria and operating performance objectives in accordance with a sliding scale established by the Compensation Committee, with a fractional award for performance above the threshold level, a full award for target performance and a premium award of up to 200% of target for extraordinary performance. In addition to the financial criteria and operating performance objectives, awards under the EIP are conditioned on the Company achieving an operating profit.

The Compensation Committee has discretion to apply a modifier to adjust the EIP upward or downward for performance against our corporate social responsibility objectives.

  64. Actual Performance Under the 2024 Entegris Incentive Plan

    Actual Performance Under the 2024 Entegris Incentive Plan The Company achieved an EIP payout of 114.7% of target based on the performance metrics described above. However, for fiscal year 2024, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with management and consistent with the terms of the EIP, exercised negative discretion for the EIP, reducing the final payout to 91.4% of target. The Compensation Committee considered numerous factors in using discretion to lower the EIP payout, including, but not limited to, (1) performance relative to our externally published target model, (2) overall corporate performance in a challenging industry environment and (3) a difference between the external data used to calculate market outperformance (based on million square inches of global shipments of silicon wafers (“MSI”)) and internal estimates (based on wafer starts). Specifically, while the Compensation Committee relies upon an external, third-party metric of MSI to measure market growth for purposes of calculating the EIP, management considers wafer starts to most closely approximate the market growth of the consumables portion of our business. Typically, MSI and wafer starts are comparable measures of growth. However, in 2024, high wafer inventory levels at fabs caused MSI to deviate from the wafer starts.

    Equity Award Changes for 2026 Following a comprehensive design review of Entegris’ long-term incentive program, the Compensation Committee has committed to increasing the weighting of PSUs to 50% or higher of the equity award mix commencing with equity awards made in 2026.

  70. Target Equity Opportunities

    Target Equity Opportunities During 2024, executives and certain key employees were eligible to receive equity awards under the Entegris, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee. RSU awards, stock option awards and PSU awards, as described below, were the three equity vehicles used by Entegris for long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards to executive officers during 2024.

  72. Forms of Equity Awarded in 2024

    Forms of Equity Awarded in 2024 The Compensation Committee believes that long-term incentive awards to executive officers, including the named executive officers, should be composed of a mixture of RSUs, stock options and PSUs. Accordingly, for 2024, the Compensation Committee approved equity awards for executive officers composed, as a percentage of the total annual grant value, of 40% RSUs, 30% stock options and 30% PSUs, which has been unchanged since 2015. The total annual grant value of long-term equity incentive awards granted to our named executive officers in 2024 approximated the market median, adjusted for executive-specific factors such as individual performance, job scope, retention risk and tenure. A description of the terms of each type of equity award and the reasons why the Compensation Committee believes each is an appropriate long-term incentive equity vehicle follows.

  73. Forms of Equity Awarded in 2024

    | 2025 Proxy Statement | 47 |

  74. Forms of Equity Awarded in 2024

    | | Restricted Stock Units | | Forty percent of the 2024 equity award to executive officers consisted of RSUs, with restrictions lapsing in four equal annual installments following the date of award. The award of RSUs is designed to enable the Company to retain executive officers and other key employees during turbulent economic times and in a competitive labor market. Non-executive employees receiving equity awards in 2024 received RSUs, with the restrictions lapsing ratably over four years in accordance with the foregoing schedule. | | | | Stock Options | | Thirty percent of the 2024 equity awards to executive officers consisted of stock options that vest in four equal annual installments following the date of grant and have a seven-year term. The Compensation Committee believes that the award of stock options is an effective mechanism to align the interests of our executive officers with those of Entegris stockholders, which is expected to lead to an increase in the long-term value of Entegris’ common stock. This is because stock options only provide value to the recipient if the price of the Company’s common stock appreciates, which creates a strong performance orientation consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy. All stock options granted in 2024 were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the Nasdaq Stock Market of Entegris common stock on the date of grant. | | | | Performance Share Units | | Thirty percent of the 2024 equity awards to executive officers consisted of PSUs, which provide the opportunity to earn shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Company’s TSR as compared with the TSR achieved by the companies that comprise the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index over a three-year period following the start of the calendar year of the grant date of the award. At grant, each recipient received a target allocation of PSUs; the final number of shares which may be earned pursuant to such awards ranges from 0% to 200% of target. The number of shares actually earned at the end of the performance period is based on a pre-established payout curve, which provides for earnouts of 50%, 100% and 200% of target for performance at the 25th, 50th and 85th percentiles, respectively, with linear interpolation between such levels. No shares are earned for performance below the 25th percentile. If the Company’s absolute TSR is negative, then the maximum number of shares that may be earned is the target performance share allocation. The PSUs fully vest after the third anniversary of the grant date and are settled following the certification of the number of shares earned by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee included PSUs as a component of the 2024 long-term incentive award for executive officers because the Compensation Committee believes that relative TSR is an important metric for our stockholders’ evaluation of the Company’s performance against the performance of other companies. The PSUs thus create an additional alignment with stockholder interests through an objective performance metric. In addition, based on the Compensation Committee’s review of peer company market data, it believes that TSR-based PSUs frequently represent a significant portion of equity incentives used by companies that compete with us in attracting, hiring, motivating and retaining executives. | |

    Procedures for Determining Compensation Factors Considered by the Compensation Committee The use of the compensation elements described above enables us to reinforce our pay-for-performance philosophy and to strengthen our ability to attract and retain high-quality executives. The Compensation Committee believes that this combination of compensation elements provides an appropriate mix of fixed and variable pay and achieves an appropriate balance between short-term financial and operational performance and long-term stockholder value creation. The Compensation Committee determines the amount of compensation under each component of executive compensation granted to the executive officers to emphasize performance-based compensation tied to financial metrics approved by the Compensation Committee and to achieve the appropriate balance between cash compensation and equity compensation, as well as to reflect the level of responsibility of the executive officer. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between either cash and non-cash or short- and long-term incentive compensation. With respect to fiscal year 2024, the total compensation paid or awarded to the named executive officers included both short-term cash and equity-based long-term incentive compensation. When making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee also looks at the target total direct compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers relative to that provided to similarly situated executives based on a competitive market analysis provided by F.W. Cook. The Compensation Committee believes, however, that a benchmark should be a point of reference for measurement, but not the determinative factor for our executives’ target compensation. The purpose of the comparison is merely to supplement and not to supplant the analyses of internal pay equity, wealth accumulation potential and the individual performance of the executive officers that the Compensation Committee considers when making compensation decisions. Because the comparative compensation information is just one of the several analytical tools that are used in setting executive compensation, the Compensation Committee has discretion in determining whether to use this information and/or the nature and extent of its use.

    Peer Group Benchmarking The Compensation Committee evaluates our executive compensation programs against a group of publicly traded companies that comprise our executive compensation benchmarking peer group. Data from a broader range of companies is also used for insight into general compensation trends and to supplement the compensation peer group when necessary. For each of our NEOs, the Compensation Committee evaluated each element of target total direct compensation (the sum of base salary, target annual incentive and target long-term incentives) and set target total direct compensation for the NEOs at the market median, adjusted for executive-specific factors such as individual performance, job scope, retention risk and tenure. In mid-2023, the Compensation Committee, working with F.W. Cook, reviewed the peer group to ensure that size measures continue to be appropriately aligned with Entegris. Following the review, no changes were made to the compensation peer group for 2024. The 18-company peer group shown below was approved by the Compensation Committee to inform its decisions with respect to target total direct compensation levels for 2024:

    This group was selected from companies operating in similar or related industries with median revenues, EBITDA and market capitalizations approximating those of the Company. The graphic below illustrates the Company’s position relative to its peer group with respect to these metrics at the time the peer group was selected in mid-2023. The Compensation Committee selected peer companies in the same or related industries on the basis of these metrics because it believes that they are commonly used to compare the relative size of companies. Information concerning the compensation practices of these companies was drawn from their proxy statements or other public filings. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the peer group with the assistance of F.W. Cook to ensure that it remains appropriate.

    Based upon the Compensation Committee’s review of the compensation arrangements discussed below, the compensation levels of the above peer companies, general market pay practices for executives and its assessments of individual and corporate performance, the Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s executive compensation policies for 2024 were appropriate. While executive officers, principally the Senior Vice President, Global Human Resources, worked closely with the Compensation Committee and with F.W. Cook to design Entegris’ compensation programs for 2024, the Compensation Committee ultimately decides which policies to adopt and directs and approves the design of all compensation programs as well as the specific compensation paid to each of the named executive officers (other than for the Chief Executive Officer). Discussions concerning Chief Executive Officer compensation are conducted between F.W. Cook and the Compensation Committee without executive officer involvement. Risk Assessment with Respect to Compensation Policies and Practices In December 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed the various design elements of our compensation program to determine whether it encourages excessive or inappropriate risk-taking. The scope of this review included all aspects of executive compensation and consideration of the items of our compensation policies and practices that affect all employees. In general, the process used by the Compensation Committee to complete its risk evaluation was as follows: •The Compensation Committee identified the compensation-related risks that the Company may face; •The Compensation Committee identified the material design elements of our compensation policies and practices with respect to all employees; and •The Compensation Committee then evaluated whether there is a relationship between any of those design elements and any of our most significant risks. More specifically, the Compensation Committee evaluated whether any of the design elements of our compensation policies and practices encourages our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company. After completing its evaluation, the Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. More specifically, the Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation program is designed to encourage employees to take actions and pursue strategies that support our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, without promoting excessive or inappropriate risk. The design elements of our executive compensation program (which are described in detail elsewhere in this “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section) do not include unusual or problematic compensatory schemes that have been linked to excessive risk-taking. Furthermore, the design elements of our compensation program that directly tie compensatory rewards to our performance include various counterbalances designed to offset potentially excessive or inappropriate risk-taking. For example, there is a balance between the fixed and performance-based components of the program. Similarly, with respect to the performance-based components, there is a balance between annual and longer-term incentives. Thus, the overall program is not too heavily weighted towards incentive compensation, in general, or short-term incentive compensation, in particular. The financial incentives are not based solely upon revenue. Rather, they are tied to performance metrics such as Adjusted EBITDA (net income before interest income, interest expense, intangible amortization, depreciation, acquisition and integration costs, acquired inventory step-up amortization, restructuring costs, goodwill impairment, impairment on long-lived assets, deal and transaction costs, and gain or loss on sale of businesses, but excluding acquisition operating income, with income tax expense added back) as a percentage of net sales and quantitatively measured strategic objectives, which more closely align the interests of management with the interests of our stockholders. The performance metrics for incentive payments are established annually and reflect goals that are a stretch, but not so high that they require performance outside of what the Compensation Committee believes is reasonable or could motivate management to take actions that could subject us to unreasonable levels of risk. In addition, there are caps on how much performance-based compensation may be earned in a particular performance period, and the Board has adopted a policy for clawback of performance-based compensation that was paid out in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws. Furthermore, the Company maintains stock ownership guidelines for its executive officers, including the named executive officers, in order to promote a close alignment of the interests of those executive officers with those of Entegris stockholders. The Compensation Committee also maintains an ongoing dialogue with our management team to track progress on performance-based goals in order to foresee and avoid any excessive or inappropriate risk-taking that may otherwise be driven by a desire to maximize performance-based compensation. Equity Award Grant Practices The Compensation Committee does not take material non-public information into account when determining the timing or terms of equity award grants, and the Company does not time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. During fiscal year 2024, the Company did not grant stock options to any NEO in the period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of a Current Report on Form 8-K that discloses material non-public information, and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of any such report.

    (1)All Entegris executive officers receive Company-paid long-term disability coverage that provides a monthly benefit of 60% of qualified salary to a maximum of $15,000 per month. Personal Benefits The Company does not offer the named executive officers perquisites other than relocation expenses and allowances made available to certain new hires or in accordance with the Company’s mobility policies. Retirement Plans During 2024, Entegris offered retirement benefits to its U.S. employees through the tax-qualified Entegris, Inc. 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan, as amended (the “401(k) Plan”), which generally provides for an employer match for employee contributions. Executive officers participated in the 401(k) Plan on the same terms as those available for other eligible employees in the U.S. The 401(k) Plan provides a long-term savings vehicle that allows for pre-tax and/or post-tax Roth contributions by employees and tax-deferred earnings. During 2024, the Company made matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan equal to 100% of such employee contributions on the first 6% of eligible compensation, not to exceed the annual Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limit. In connection with the 401(k) Plan, we also maintain the Entegris, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), a non-qualified retirement plan. Under the SERP, certain senior executives, including the named executive officers, are allowed certain salary and cash bonus deferral benefits that would otherwise be lost by reason of restrictions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), limiting the amount of compensation which may be deferred under tax-qualified plans. Compensation that may be deferred into the SERP includes employee and employer contributions that are in excess of the maximum contributions allowed under the terms of the 401(k) Plan. Participant accounts are credited with an investment return equivalent to that provided by the investment vehicles elected by the participant, which may be allocated among the same investment funds as are offered with respect to the 401(k) Plan accounts. In 2023, Entegris amended the SERP for years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, to provide for an employer contribution of a fixed percentage of the employee’s eligible compensation over IRS limits only if the employee maximizes his or her permissible contributions to the 401(k) Plan for the year. Payment of employer contributions and any investment earnings on them will be subject to the employee’s compliance with restrictive covenants and the execution of a waiver and release at the time of termination. Participating employees will be allowed to receive payment of SERP benefits in a lump sum or two to ten annual installments, and participating employees will be allowed to elect in-service distributions of their employee contributions (but not employer contribution). The individual participant balances in the 401(k) Plan and the SERP reflect a combination of: (i) the annual amount contributed by the Company or by the employee to the 401(k) Plan and the SERP; (ii) the amounts being invested at the direction of the employee (the same investment choices are available to all participants); and (iii) the continuing reinvestment of the investment returns until the accounts are paid out. This means that similarly situated employees, including the named executive officers, may have materially different account balances because of a combination of these factors. See the “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table” below for more information on account balances and earnings under the SERP for the named executive officers.

    Other Items Stock Ownership Guidelines for Executive Officers The Company maintains stock ownership guidelines for its executive officers, including the named executive officers, in order to ensure the continuation of the close alignment of the interests of those executive officers who are elected by the Board with those of Entegris stockholders. This alignment is a critical objective of the long-term incentive compensation discussed above. The guidelines provide that the Company’s executive officers attain and maintain beneficial ownership of Entegris stock at the levels indicated in the below table. Determination of compliance with these guidelines is made as of January 31st of each year. For purposes of the stock ownership guidelines, beneficial ownership of Entegris stock includes direct holdings, holdings by immediate family members, shares held in 401(k) and employee stock ownership plans, unvested shares of restricted stock and RSUs. For purposes of complying with these guidelines, shares of the Company’s common stock that executive officers have the right to acquire through the exercise of stock options (whether or not vested) and unearned PSUs are not included as shares owned by such executive officer.

    In addition, the Board maintains stock ownership guidelines for directors. For more information, please see the “Corporate Governance — Compensation of Directors — Stock Ownership Guidelines for Directors” section of this Proxy Statement. Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy During 2014, the Board adopted a policy against hedging, pledging and speculative transactions in the Company’s stock. This policy covers directors, executive officers, employees and consultants and prohibits directly or indirectly engaging in any hedging or monetization transactions with respect to the Company’s securities; pledging, hypothecating, or otherwise encumbering shares of the Company’s common stock or other equity securities as collateral for indebtedness; or engaging in short-term or speculative transactions in the Company’s securities, including short-term trading where the Company’s securities are sold within six months following the purchase (or vice versa) and short sales of the Company’s securities (i.e., the sale of a security that the seller does not own). Clawback Policy Effective as of October 2, 2023, the Board adopted a revised incentive compensation clawback policy aligned with updated Nasdaq listing rules implementing Exchange Act Rule 10D-1. The Clawback Policy requires the Company to recoup or “claw back” certain annual cash and long-term equity incentive compensation from covered executive officers in specified situations. The Company must recoup paid incentive compensation in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws, subject to certain exceptions. The Compensation Committee will, subject to certain exceptions, seek to recoup the difference between the incentive compensation paid and the lower amount that would have been paid based upon accurate information or restated financial results. In addition, the Company now includes a specific reference to this clawback right in its equity award agreements, including for both time-based and performance-based equity awards. Our Clawback Policy can be found attached as Exhibit 10.32 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Insider Trading Policy Under our Insider Trading Policy, each employee, officer, and director of the Company is prohibited from buying or selling our securities when he or she is aware of material non-public information about the Company, or information about other public companies which he or she learns as our employee or director. These individuals are also prohibited from providing such information to others. In addition, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits employees, officers, and directors from (i) pledging and hedging Entegris securities, (ii) engaging in short sales of Entegris securities and (iii) buying or selling any derivative securities related to Entegris securities, whether or not such individual is in possession of material non-public information. We believe our Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations and any applicable listing standards. Our Insider Trading Policy can be found attached as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

    | PROPOSAL 3 Ratification of Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025 | | | | The Board recommends that the stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. |

  116. COMPENSATION ACTUALLY PAID VS. ADJUSTED EBITDA AS A PERCENTAGE OF NET SALES

    KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has reported on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 and for previous fiscal years. The Audit & Finance Committee selected KPMG as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Representatives of KPMG are expected to be able to make a statement at the Annual Meeting if they wish to do so and to respond to appropriate stockholder questions. The engagement agreement entered into with KPMG for fiscal year 2025 is subject to mediation and arbitration procedures as the sole method for resolving disputes. Ratification of the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Audit & Finance Committee to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the audit work of the independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board is submitting this matter to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If the selection of KPMG is not ratified by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, the Audit & Finance Committee will reconsider whether to retain KPMG, and may retain that firm or another firm without re-submitting the matter to the Company’s stockholders. Even if stockholders vote in favor of ratification of the appointment, the Audit & Finance Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders. Representatives of KPMG regularly attend meetings of the Audit & Finance Committee. The Audit & Finance Committee pre-approves and reviews audit and non-audit services performed by KPMG as well as the fees charged by KPMG for such services. In its pre-approval and review of non-audit service fees, the Audit & Finance Committee considers, among other factors, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the auditors’ independence. To avoid potential conflicts of interest in maintaining auditor independence, publicly traded companies are prohibited from obtaining certain non-audit services from its independent registered public accounting firm. In 2024, 2023 and 2022, we did not obtain any of these prohibited services from KPMG. Entegris uses other accounting firms for these types of non-audit services. For additional information concerning the Audit & Finance Committee and its activities with KPMG, see “Corporate Governance” and “Report of the Audit & Finance Committee” herein. Annual Evaluation and Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Audit and Finance Committee annually evaluates the performance of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and determines whether to recommend re-engagement of the current independent registered public accounting firm or consider other audit firms. In connection with its selection of KPMG as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the Audit and Finance Committee considered several factors, including, but not limited to, the following: •KPMG’s independence, objectivity, and professional skepticism; •overall quality of the audit and efficiency of services provided; •KPMG’s depth, technical expertise and regional capabilities; •KPMG’s knowledge of the Company’s global operations and industry, accounting policies and practices, and internal control over financial reporting; •sufficiency of resources dedicated to the audit; •quality and effectiveness of communication with the Audit and Finance Committee and management; and

  117. COMPENSATION ACTUALLY PAID VS. ADJUSTED EBITDA AS A PERCENTAGE OF NET SALES

    | 66 | |

  118. COMPENSATION ACTUALLY PAID VS. ADJUSTED EBITDA AS A PERCENTAGE OF NET SALES

    •the appropriateness of KPMG’s fees, taking into account the size and complexity of the Company and the resources necessary to perform the audit. Additionally, the Audit and Finance Committee considers the benefits of longer auditor tenure and the controls and processes that ensure continued auditor independence. The Audit and Finance Committee believes the benefits of longer tenure include: •enhanced audit quality associated with deep institutional knowledge; •competitive fees that can be achieved due to the independent auditors’ familiarity with the Company, including our operations, accounting policies and practices and internal control over financial reporting; and •the avoidance of incremental time and costs that would be incurred in the engagement of new independent auditors. The Audit and Finance Committee also considers the following controls and processes that ensure the continued independence of KPMG: •oversight by the Audit and Finance Committee, including regular executive sessions; •limits on non-audit services, including pre-approval for all audit and permissible non-audit services; •KPMG’s internal independence process, including periodic internal reviews and partner rotations, where it rotates its lead audit engagement partner every five years; •when there is a partner rotation, the Audit and Finance Committee interviews proposed candidates and selects the lead audit engagement partner; and •a robust regulatory framework, including periodic PCAOB inspections, peer reviews, and PCAOB and SEC oversight. Based on this evaluation, the Audit and Finance Committee believes that engaging KPMG to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Audit Fees Aggregate fees for professional services rendered for the Company by KPMG for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were:

    Audit fees for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of fees for the integrated audit of annual financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, reviews of quarterly financial statements, statutory audits, audit procedures associated with acquisitions and divestitures, and other services normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings with the SEC. The fees for Audit-Related services for the year ended December 31, 2024 were for monthly Taiwan capital audits and consents related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and for the year ended December 31, 2023 were for monthly Taiwan capital audits. The fees for Tax services for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were for services related to tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice for the Company. There were no fees for All Other services for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, such fees consisted of human resources consultation services.

    The charter of the Audit & Finance Committee requires the pre-approval of all non-audit services before any such non-audit services are performed for the Company. The charter of the Audit & Finance Committee is posted on the Company’s web site http://www.Entegris.com under “About Us – Investors – Corporate Governance”. The Audit & Finance Committee adopted pre-approval policies and procedures with respect to audit and permissible non-audit services (“Services”). Under this policy, Services must receive either a general pre-approval or a specific pre-approval by the Audit & Finance Committee. The grant of a general pre-approval of Services is limited to identified Services that have been determined not to impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and must include a maximum fee level for the Services approved. A request for specific pre-approval must include detailed information concerning the scope of the Services and the fees to be charged. The policy also provides for a special delegation of pre-approval authority to the Chair of the Audit & Finance Committee where the commencement of Services is required prior to the next scheduled meeting of the Audit & Finance Committee and it is impractical to schedule a special meeting; any such pre-approval by the Chair is subject to review by the full Audit & Finance Committee. All of the fees listed as paid for 2024 and 2023 in the table above received pre-approval by the Company’s Audit & Finance Committee. Report of the Audit & Finance Committee As of February 4, 2025, the Audit & Finance Committee is composed of three members and acts under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The members of the Audit & Finance Committee meet the standards of independence applicable to members of audit committees that are set forth in the Audit & Finance Committee Charter, the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. Marketplace Rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The Audit & Finance Committee reviewed the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and discussed these audited consolidated financial statements with the Company’s management. Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. Management represented to the Audit & Finance Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements had been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Audit & Finance Committee selected KPMG LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which selection was ratified by the stockholders at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and to issue a report on those financial statements. More specifically, the Audit & Finance Committee reviews, evaluates, and discusses with the Company’s management and with the independent registered public accounting firm, the following matters: •the plan for, and report of the independent registered public accounting firm on, each audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements; •the Company’s financial disclosure documents, including all financial statements and reports filed with the SEC or sent to stockholders; •changes in the Company’s accounting practices, principles, controls or methodologies; •significant developments or changes in accounting rules applicable to the Company; and •the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and accounting, financial and auditing personnel and the areas of risk that could impact the Company’s business. The Audit & Finance Committee also reviewed and discussed with KPMG LLP the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for 2024 and the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. These rules require the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to discuss with the Company’s Audit & Finance Committee, among other things, the following: •methods to account for significant unusual transactions; •the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus; •the process used by management in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the auditors’ conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and •any disagreements with management over the application of accounting principles, the basis for management’s accounting estimates and the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

    KPMG LLP also provided the Audit & Finance Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit & Finance Committee concerning independence. The PCAOB requires auditors annually to disclose in writing all relationships that in the auditor’s professional opinion may reasonably be thought to bear on independence, confirm their perceived independence and engage in a discussion of independence. The Audit & Finance Committee discussed with KPMG LLP the matters disclosed in this communication and that firm’s independence from Entegris. The Audit & Finance Committee also considered whether the provision of the audit-related and tax services to Entegris by KPMG LLP, which are referred to under PROPOSAL 3 – RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025 above, is compatible with maintaining such auditors’ independence and concluded that KPMG LLP met the specified independence standards. Based on its discussions with management and KPMG LLP, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and KPMG LLP, the Audit & Finance Committee recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. In performing all of these functions, the Audit & Finance Committee acted only in an oversight capacity. The members of the Audit & Finance Committee necessarily relied on the information, opinions, reports and statements presented to them by Entegris management, which has the primary responsibility for the Company’s consolidated financial statements and reports. The members of the Audit & Finance Committee also relied on the work and assurances of KPMG LLP, who in their report express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, while the Audit & Finance Committee recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as described above, the foregoing oversight procedures do not assure that management has maintained adequate financial reporting processes and controls, that the consolidated financial statements are accurate, or that the audit would detect all inaccuracies or flaws in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The information in this report of the Audit & Finance Committee shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” “filed” with the SEC or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and is not incorporated by reference into any filings of the Company with the SEC, irrespective of any general incorporation language contained in any such filing.
