DIRECTOR NOMINEES
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR ELECTION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
Governance Principles
Governance Principles Amphenol’s Corporate Governance Principles meet or exceed the Listing Standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE Listing Standards”), including guidelines for determining director independence and reporting concerns to non-employee directors and the Audit Committee. The Company’s Corporate Governance Principles, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the charters of each of the Board’s committees are reviewed at least annually and revised as warranted. Amphenol’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to all employees, directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company posts the following documents on its website at www.amphenol.com under the heading “Investors”, then “Governance,” and then “Governance Documents”: Clawback Policy Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Corporate Governance Principles Global Human Rights Policy Insider Trading Compliance Policy Political Activity Statement Stock Ownership Guidelines — Directors Stock Ownership Guidelines — Executives The Company posts the following charters for its Board committees on its website at www.amphenol.com under the heading “Investors,” then “Governance,” then “Board of Directors” and then “Committee Charters”: Audit Committee Charter Compensation Committee Charter Executive Committee Charter Finance Committee Charter Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee Charter A printed copy of any of these documents will be provided to any stockholder of the Company free of charge upon written request to the Company, c/o Secretary, Amphenol Corporation, 358 Hall Avenue, Wallingford, Connecticut 06492.
Director Independence
Director Independence The Board has adopted the definition of “independent director” set forth in the NYSE Listing Standards to assist it in making determinations of independence. In addition to applying these guidelines, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination. The Board has determined that all of the directors are independent of the Company and its management with the exception of Mr. Norwitt who is not considered an independent director because of his current employment with the Company. In addition, Mr. Edward G. Jepsen was independent during his service on our Board in 2025.
Leadership Structure
Leadership Structure Our Board believes it is important to retain flexibility to determine its optimal leadership structure in light of a variety of factors at any given time, including the particular composition of the Board as well as the specific needs and opportunities of the Company. With any leadership structure, it is critically important to have a strong relationship between the independent directors and management. Following Mr. Loeffler’s announcement that he would not stand for re-election to the Board, the Board determined that implementing a combined Chairman/Chief Executive Officer and Lead Independent Director structure is the appropriate leadership structure at this time to balance between the most effective operation of the Board and independent oversight of management. This leadership transition is the result of robust succession planning and thoughtful deliberation by the full Board. The Board’s decision to combine the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer under Mr. Norwitt reflects the Board’s strong belief that he has demonstrated the leadership and strategic vision necessary to lead the Board and the Company. The Board believes that Mr. Norwitt’s extensive tenure and success with the Company, together with his deep familiarity with the culture of Amphenol and knowledge of the day-to-day business, best positions him to help the Board focus on the issues of greatest importance to the Company and assist the Board in identifying the short-term and long-term risks and challenges facing the Company. The Board also recognizes that with a combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer structure, it is imperative to have a strong Lead Independent Director with a clearly defined set of responsibilities to provide independent leadership and oversight and to help ensure sound Board decision-making. David P. Falck, who has served as a director since 2013 and as Presiding Director since 2016, has been appointed to serve as Lead Independent Director. Mr. Falck’s extensive experience advising public companies and broad knowledge of our business make him well situated to guide the Board in its oversight of the Company and to foster open dialogue among the independent directors and management. In his role as Lead Independent Director, Mr. Falck will be responsible for developing agendas for executive sessions of independent directors and calling and presiding over the same. Mr. Falck will also serve as a liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors, review meeting agendas and meeting schedules, review stockholder communications directed to the Board and take appropriate action and consult with the Chairman on such other matters as are pertinent to the Board and the Company.

His compensation is described in more detail in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 43 and in the section entitled Compensation of Named Executive Officers beginning on page 36.

Director Compensation for the 2025 Fiscal Year
(1) This column represents the amount of cash compensation earned for service on our Board and its committees. (2) The grant date fair value of the 2,360 shares of restricted stock granted to each director (other than Mr. Jepsen) on May 16, 2025 was $205,037 computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Unless the date of the Annual Meeting is postponed, which is not currently expected, the restricted stock awards granted to each of the directors indicated in the table above will become fully vested on May 20, 2026. (3) The Company does not have a pension plan program applicable to its non-employee directors. Directors who are current or former employees participate in the Company’s Pension Plan (described beginning on page 48) as employees. Messrs. Jepsen and Loeffler participated in the Pension Plan during their prior employment with the Company. Upon retirement, their pension benefits were fixed, and they are no longer accruing any additional benefits under the Pension Plan. (4) The Company does not have any other compensation programs for its non-employee directors, nor did it provide any other benefits which could be deemed to be compensation for their service. (5) Mr. Jepsen did not stand for re-election at the May 15, 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. His 2025 compensation reflects amounts paid to him through such date. The Compensation Committee reviews compensation for the non-employee directors at the beginning of each calendar year. In connection with its review, the Compensation Committee retains Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”), an independent compensation consultant, to provide market data for director compensation at companies similar in size to Amphenol. For more information on Meridian, see the section entitled Role of Compensation Consultant in Compensation Decisions in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section. In January 2025, in connection with its regular and ongoing review of Board compensation, the Board adopted changes to the fee amounts earned by the directors as outlined in the table below effective January 1, 2025. These fees were last adjusted in 2022. In connection with such changes, Meridian confirmed that the increased fees were aligned with market practice.

Director Compensation for the 2025 Fiscal Year
* The 2024 Restricted Stock Plan for Directors of Amphenol Corporation (the “Directors Restricted Stock Plan”), which was approved by stockholders in May 2024, provides for annual grants of restricted stock to the non-employee directors on the first business day after each annual meeting of stockholders and interim pro-rated grants for non-employee directors not initially elected at a regular meeting of the Company’s stockholders. On the grant date, each non-employee director will be awarded shares of Common Stock subject to the restrictions and conditions in the Directors Restricted Stock Plan. In 2025, the number of shares granted was determined by dividing $205,000 by the closing price for the Common Stock on the grant date and rounding up to the next whole share amount. The closing price of the Common Stock on May 16, 2025 was $86.88 In February 2026, in connection with its regular and ongoing review of Board compensation and after consultation with Meridian, the Board increased the fee payable to the Lead Independent Director from $45,000 to $50,000. This change was made in anticipation of Mr. Loeffler’s retirement from the Board and the concurrent appointment of Mr. Norwitt, a non-independent director, as Chairman of the Board effective on the date of the Annual Meeting. Upon his appointment, Mr. Norwitt will not be paid the separate Chairman fee for his role as Chairman of the Board. No other changes were made with respect to the fees payable to the Board in 2026. Going forward, the Compensation Committee will continue to monitor and make recommendations to the Company and to the Board regarding the annual retainer fee, committee chair fees, Chairman of the Board fee, if any, Lead Independent Director fee and equity compensation elements of the directors’ compensation program to ensure that total director compensation is fair and reasonable and competitive for the purpose of attracting and retaining qualified directors.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Philosophy and Objectives of Compensation Program. The Committee continues to strive to develop, refine and implement a complete, consistent and straightforward compensation program that helps to attract, motivate and retain the executive officers and key management employees, and that remains competitive with comparable companies. The program is designed to promote decision making geared to increasing long-term shareholder value while avoiding excessive risk taking. The Committee believes that to further these objectives, executive compensation packages should include both cash and long-term equity-based compensation as well as reasonable benefits. Elements of Compensation Program. The Committee endeavors to provide an appropriate mix of different elements of compensation, including finding a balance among (i) fixed versus at-risk compensation, (ii) current versus long-term compensation, (iii) cash versus equity-based compensation and (iv) basic benefits. Cash payments primarily reward current year performance and equity-based awards encourage key management employees, including the named executive officers, to continue to deliver results over a longer period of time and serve as a retention tool. The Committee generally strives to provide equity-based compensation at a level sufficient to drive an appropriate amount of focus on the long-term performance of the Company. The compensation program for executive officers and key management employees, including the named executive officers, generally includes the following elements: • Base Salary • Annual Cash Incentive Plans Stock Option Plans Insurance Benefits • Retirement Benefits Base Salary. The Company establishes base salary to provide fixed income at approximately the median level for executives of comparable companies with similar responsibilities. Several elements are considered in setting base salary, including the size, scope and complexity of the executive officer’s or key management employee’s responsibilities, as well as the tenure of the executive officer with the Company. Position, geography and economic and market conditions are also considered, particularly with respect to retention. Base salary must be reasonable, fair and competitive. The Committee also considers the historical, current and forecasted performance of the Company and individual operating units, and the contributions or expected contributions of each executive officer or key management employee to those results when considering proposed adjustments to base salary. Salary levels for all executive officers and key management employees are reviewed and typically adjusted annually. Salary levels are also typically reviewed and may be adjusted in connection with a change in job responsibilities. Annual Cash Incentive Plans. Executive officers and key management employees, including the named executive officers (with the exception of key sales and marketing employees who typically have their own sales incentive or commission plans and from time-to-time certain key employees of newly acquired companies who had or have their own incentive plans), were eligible to receive annual cash payments pursuant to the 2025 Management Incentive Plan (the “2025 Management Incentive Plan”). The Committee has reviewed and approved the 2026 Management Incentive Plan (the “2026 Management Incentive Plan”) with terms that are substantially the same as the 2025 Management Incentive Plan. The 2025 Management Incentive Plan and the 2026 Management Incentive Plan are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “incentive plan.” Target payments under the incentive plan when added to fixed base salary are intended to generate total annual cash compensation that the Company believes is reasonable, fair and competitive with annual cash compensation paid to similarly situated employees at other companies with comparable size and performance. Incentive plan payments have historically totaled in the aggregate less than 2% of the annual consolidated operating income for the Company. There were approximately 570 participants in the 2025 Management Incentive Plan. Payouts under the 2025 Management Incentive Plan totaled approximately $53 million, representing approximately 0.86% of the Company’s Adjusted Operating Income for 2025. There are currently approximately 690 participants in the 2026 Management Incentive Plan who, at achievement of 100% of 2026 performance targets and goals, would be paid an aggregate of approximately $38 million. The incentive plan provides participants with a cash bonus if certain operating unit and/or Company goals are achieved. A “responsibility unit” in the discussion below refers to the group or business unit for which the employee has management responsibility or to which he or she is assigned. For executive officers and key management employees with global headquarters roles (i.e., Company-wide responsibilities), such as Messrs. Norwitt and Lampo, the Company is considered the responsibility unit. For Messrs. Walter, Doherty and Straub, the division over which each served as Division President in 2025 is considered the relevant responsibility unit. The incentive plan is intended to reward participants upon the achievement of the goals for their respective responsibility unit, with discretion for qualitative individual, operating unit and Company performance factors. No annual incentive payments will be made if a threshold performance level of profitability is not achieved for the relevant responsibility unit, absent the occurrence of extenuating circumstances that, in the discretion of the Committee, merit an exception to the threshold profitability performance requirement. As a general rule, no incentive plan payment is made to employees with Company- wide responsibilities if Adjusted Diluted EPS declines year-over-year, nor to other employees if the operating income of their respective responsibility unit declines year-over-year. Incentive plan payment amounts are calculated by multiplying three factors together: (i) a participant’s annual base salary, (ii) a participant’s incentive plan target percentage and (iii) a participant’s incentive plan multiplier. Incentive plan target percentages for each participant are generally established at the beginning of each year. The incentive plan multiplier is determined for each participant after the end of each year by analyzing a number of quantitative factors, subject to qualitative adjustment, as discussed in more detail below. The maximum incentive plan multiplier any recipient may be awarded is 200%. The incentive plan does not guarantee any minimum incentive plan multiplier to any participant. For 2025, participants received incentive plan multipliers ranging from 0% to 200%. A participant’s incentive plan multiplier is based primarily on responsibility unit financial performance against quantitative measures established at the beginning of each year. In addition, adjustments are made, when appropriate, for certain qualitative factors, as well as for reasonableness and consistency. The quantitative portion of the incentive plan multiplier is contingent upon the Company’s achievement and/or the applicable responsibility unit’s achievement of performance targets and/or goals.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
The Company continues to believe that the key drivers to generating shareholder value are revenue growth, operating income growth and EPS growth. In 2025 the quantitative performance criteria for (i) participants with Company-wide responsibilities was based on Company revenue and Adjusted Diluted EPS growth in 2025 over 2024 and (ii) other participants was based on responsibility unit revenue and operating income growth in 2025 over 2024, adjusted for actual operating income in 2025 as compared to 2025 operating income budget. Revenue growth and operating income growth are calculated on a constant currency basis. The specific targets to be achieved by Messrs. Norwitt and Lampo to attain a 100% quantitative portion of the incentive plan multiplier in 2025 were (i) Company revenue growth of 7%, and (ii) Company Adjusted Diluted EPS growth of 11%. To achieve a 200% quantitative portion of the incentive plan multiplier in 2025 would have required Company revenue growth of at least 17.5% and Company Adjusted Diluted EPS growth of at least 27.5%. In calculating the incentive plan multiplier, Company revenue growth and Company Adjusted Diluted EPS growth are given equal weighting. The specific targets to be achieved by Messrs. Walter, Doherty and Straub to attain a 100% incentive plan multiplier under the 2025 incentive plan were (i) responsibility unit revenue growth of 7% and (ii) responsibility unit operating income growth of 11%. In addition, for executives that do not have global headquarters roles, such as Messrs. Walter, Doherty and Straub, the incentive plan multiplier is adjusted up or down based on achievement to operating income budget. To achieve a 200% quantitative portion of the incentive plan multiplier under the incentive plan in 2025 would have required responsibility unit revenue growth of at least 17.5% and responsibility unit operating income growth of at least 27.5%. In calculating the incentive plan multiplier, responsibility unit operating income growth and responsibility unit revenue growth are given equal weighting. If Adjusted Diluted EPS or operating income, as applicable, decline, the impact to the incentive plan multiplier is at the discretion of the Committee, but generally has resulted in an overall incentive plan multiplier of 0%. Once the quantitative portion of the incentive plan multiplier is established, management and/or the Committee, as applicable, consider various qualitative factors and may adjust the incentive plan multiplier accordingly. The qualitative analysis is designed to ensure that a participant is rewarded for responsibility unit performance and individual performance, but also to provide a means to ensure the awards are fair and meet the other goals of the Committee in determining executive compensation. The qualitative portion of the incentive plan may include one or more of the following factors: whether operating margins of the responsibility unit are above or below the average of the Company, balance sheet management including cash flow, operating unit and group contribution to total Company performance, risk management issues, contributions of responsibility unit to achieving the Company’s sustainability goals, industry performance, special market conditions, budget impact and any other factor that the Committee deems relevant under the circumstances. In 2026 there is no change in the quantitative performance criteria for the 2026 Management Incentive Plan as compared to the 2025 Management Incentive Plan. Stock Option Plans. In May 2017, stockholders approved and the Company adopted the 2017 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol and Subsidiaries (the “Original 2017 Option Plan”) and in May 2021, stockholders approved and the Company adopted the Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for Key Employees of Amphenol and Subsidiaries (together with the Original 2017 Option Plan, the “2017 Option Plan”). Granting stock options is a simple and clear means to maintain the alignment of the interests of the Company’s executive officers and key management employees with its stockholders and allows executive officers and key management employees to participate in the long-term value creation of the Company. The Committee believes that granting stock options helps create competitive levels of compensation and provides an opportunity for increased equity ownership by executive officers and key management employees (including the named executive officers). All currently outstanding employee stock option grants have a five-year vesting period, with 20% vesting each year. The Committee believes this extended vesting schedule improves retention of executive officers and key management employees while encouraging them to make decisions that achieve a healthy balance between short- and long-term Company performance. The total expense for options granted each year is typically in the range of approximately 3% to 5% of the Company’s annual budgeted consolidated operating income for such year. The employee stock option plan is administered by the Committee. The Committee will consider recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior management employees of the Company and determine those employees of Amphenol and its subsidiaries who will be eligible to receive options, the number and the terms and conditions of each option grant, the form of the option agreement and any conditions on the exercise of an option award. For more information on equity grant practices and procedures, including with respect to the timing of awards of stock options, see the section entitled Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information beginning on page 62. In determining the number of options to be granted to an individual employee, a value is imputed for each option, with reference to the Company’s then current stock price and the Black-Scholes valuation of each option granted. The Committee also considers information regarding the total amount of options available, an individual’s base salary, the amount of stock options, if any, previously awarded to an individual, an individual’s past and expected future contributions to the Company’s financial performance and an individual’s responsibilities for assisting the Company in achieving its long-term strategic goals. The Committee also considers the estimated dilutive effect of options granted each year. Insurance Benefits. Each executive officer and key management employee (including the U.S.-based named executive officers) is offered the same health and life insurance benefits as other employees working at the same location. The Company also makes a contribution to group term life insurance on behalf of substantially all U.S.-based salaried employees (including the U.S.-based named executive officers) on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated U.S.-based salaried employees for which the Company is required to impute compensation for amounts in excess of $50,000 net of employee payments, see table of All Other Compensation under footnote (4) on page 44. Key management employees outside of the U.S. participate in the same insurance programs on the same terms and conditions as similarly situated salaried employees.
Compensation of Named Executive Officers
Compensation of Named Executive Officers Company Performance — When determining compensation, the Committee reviewed the Company’s 2025 financial results. The Company’s 2025 financial results were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reported in the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Company’s 2025 Annual Report”). In addition to reviewing relevant GAAP financial measures, the Committee considered non-GAAP measures which it believes are also relevant in gauging year-over-year performance. Thus, Constant Currency Net Sales Growth, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS and other non-GAAP measures are referenced in this proxy statement.2 In 2025, the Company achieved net sales of $23.1 billion, representing an increase of 52% in U.S. Dollars and 51% in constant currencies as compared to 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, GAAP Diluted EPS was $3.34 and $1.92, respectively. GAAP Diluted EPS in 2025 included (i) excess tax benefits of $246.6 million ($0.19 per share) related to stock-based compensation resulting from stock option exercises, (ii) a discrete tax expense of $100 million ($0.08 per share) and (iii) acquisition-related expenses of $181.2 million ($148.8 million after-tax, or $0.12 per share). GAAP Diluted EPS in 2024 included (i) excess tax benefits of $142.6 million ($0.11 per share) related to stock-based compensation resulting from stock option exercises, (ii) a discrete tax benefit of $18.6 million ($0.01 per share) and (iii) acquisition-related expenses of $145.6 million ($119.3 million after-tax, or $0.09 per share). Excluding these items, Adjusted Diluted EPS in 2025 was $3.34, as compared to $1.89 in 2024, representing an increase of 77%. The non-GAAP financial measures defined below should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. See Part II, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report for further details. Non-GAAP financial measures related to net sales exclude the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. The non-GAAP financial information contained herein is included for supplemental purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to the related GAAP financial measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily the same or comparable to similar measures presented by other companies as such measures may be calculated differently or may exclude different items. • Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share (as reported in accordance with GAAP), excluding income and expenses and their specific tax effects that are not directly related to the Company’s operating performance during the years presented. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Amphenol Corporation, as defined below, divided by the weighted average outstanding diluted shares as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income. • Adjusted Net Income attributable to Amphenol Corporation is defined as Net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income, excluding income and (2) Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In addition to assessing the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, management and the Committee utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures defined below when assessing employee compensation measures. Management and the Committee believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to investors in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance, trends and year-over- year comparative results, in addition to the reasons noted below. Non-GAAP financial measures related to operating income, operating margin, net income attributable to Amphenol Corporation, effective tax rate and diluted EPS exclude income and expenses that are not directly related to the Company’s operating performance during the years presented. Items excluded in the presentation of such non-GAAP financial measures in any period may consist of, without limitation, acquisition-related expenses, refinancing-related costs, gains associated with bargain purchase acquisitions, the excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and certain other discrete tax items including but not limited to (i) the impact of tax audits relating to prior periods and (ii) significant changes in tax law. expenses and their specific tax effects that are not directly related to the Company’s operating performance during the years presented. Adjusted Operating Income is defined as Operating income, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income, excluding income and expenses that are not directly related to the Company’s operating performance during the years presented. • Adjusted Operating Margin is defined as Adjusted Operating Income (as defined above) expressed as a percentage of Net sales (as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income). • Constant Currency Net Sales Growth is defined as the year-over-year percentage change in net sales growth, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s results are subject to volatility related to foreign currency translation fluctuations. As such, management evaluates the Company’s sales performance based on actual sales growth in U.S. dollars, as well as Constant Currency Net Sales Growth, and believes that such information is useful to investors to assess the underlying sales trends. • Free Cash Flow is defined as (i) Net cash provided by operating activities (“Operating Cash Flow” — as reported in accordance with GAAP) less (ii) capital expenditures (as reported in accordance with GAAP), net of proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment (as reported in accordance with GAAP), all of which are derived from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure for the Company, as we believe it is useful for management and investors to assess our ability to generate cash, as well as to assess how much cash can be used to reinvest in the growth of the Company or to return to stockholders through either stock repurchases or dividends. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Pay Mix — Compensation programs for the named executive officers emphasize at-risk, performance- based elements geared to encourage management to generate long-term shareholder value, namely stock options and annual incentive plan compensation linked to goals that encourage growth in revenue, operating income and/or Adjusted Diluted EPS. Fixed compensation elements, such as base salary, retirement benefits and other compensation are designed to be market competitive for purposes of retention, and to a lesser extent, recruitment. For the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, fixed compensation elements including salary and “all other compensation” (which includes retirement benefits) comprised approximately 9% of his total 2025 compensation. His at-risk compensation linked to increasing shareholder value comprised approximately 91%

Compensation of Named Executive Officers
* Constant Currency Net Sales Growth, Adjusted Diluted EPS Growth and Adjusted Operating Income Growth are Non-GAAP financial measures. See Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 36 to see items excluded. CEO Compensation. In January 2026, Mr. Norwitt’s annual base salary was increased by approximately 5.4% from $1,565,000 to $1,650,000. Mr. Norwitt’s annual incentive plan target percentage pursuant to the 2026 Management Incentive Plan was increased from 180% to 200%. In its deliberations about whether and how to adjust these two elements of Mr. Norwitt’s compensation, the Committee considered the Company’s financial performance in 2025, including in particular the significant growth in net sales and Adjusted Diluted EPS from prior year, as well as annual base salary and target bonus percentages of chief executive officers of similarly sized companies based on information provided by Meridian. Based on calculations described in the section entitled Annual Cash Incentive Plans above, the quantitative portion of Mr. Norwitt’s incentive plan multiplier in 2025 was calculated to be 200%, the same percentage calculated for all named executive officers and key management employees with global headquarters roles. His incentive plan payment pursuant to the 2025 Management Incentive Plan was therefore $5,634,000, representing a product of his 2025 base salary of $1,565,000 multiplied by his incentive plan target percentage of 180%, multiplied by the global headquarters incentive plan multiplier of 200%. This was the maximum possible payout under the 2025 Management Incentive Plan. In May 2025, Mr. Norwitt was awarded 602,344 options pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan with an exercise price of $86.88 and a grant date value of $14,649,006. The option award reflects the Board’s confidence in his leadership and is designed to further align Mr. Norwitt’s interests with the Company’s stockholders to generate long-term shareholder value. In granting this award to Mr. Norwitt, the Committee considered the Company’s ongoing substantial growth in the scale and complexity of the Company during Mr. Norwitt’s tenure as well as the importance of closely aligning Mr. Norwitt’s interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. In 2025, Mr. Norwitt was provided with car and driver and security-related services. The Company expenses associated with the car and driver were $15,694. The Company expenses associated with the security- related services were $9,631. The imputed value of compensation for group term life insurance provided to Mr. Norwitt in 2025 in excess of $50,000, net of employee payments, was $10,062. The Company continues to provide Mr. Norwitt with car and driver and security-related services and to contribute to his group term life insurance in 2026. Mr. Norwitt continues to participate in the Pension Plan (further described in the section entitled Pension Plan Background commencing on page 48), but his benefits under such Pension Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2006. In 2025, Mr. Norwitt received a 401(k) match of $22,250. The Company made notational contributions to a non-qualified supplemental defined contribution plan, or DC SERP, on behalf of Mr. Norwitt for 2025 of $435,445. Mr. Norwitt continues to participate in the 401(k) Plan and the DC SERP in 2026. Other Named Executive Officers’ Compensation. For each of the other named executive officers, in determining annual cash incentive plan payments and stock option awards for 2025, and base salary and incentive plan target adjustments for 2026, the Committee considered each executive’s overall performance, as well as relevant market data from Meridian. In the case of Mr. Lampo, the Committee evaluated the overall performance of the Company and his contributions to that performance. In the case of Messrs. Walter, Doherty and Straub, the Committee evaluated their contributions to the performance and results of the division over which each served as Division President. Mr. Lampo. In January 2026, Mr. Lampo’s annual base salary was increased by approximately 13% from $730,000 to $825,000, to reflect a market adjustment for the increased size and complexity of the Company’s business and his promotion to Executive Vice President. Based on calculations described in the section entitled Annual Cash Incentive Plans above, the quantitative portion of Mr. Lampo’s incentive plan multiplier in 2025 was calculated to be 200%, the same percentage calculated for all named executive officers and key management employees with global headquarters roles. His incentive plan payment pursuant to the 2025 Management Incentive Plan was therefore $1,460,000, representing a product of his 2025 base salary of $730,000 multiplied by his incentive plan target percentage of 100%, multiplied by the global headquarters incentive plan multiplier of 200%. This was the maximum possible payout under the 2025 Management Incentive Plan. Mr. Lampo’s incentive plan target percentage pursuant to the 2026 Management Incentive Plan was increased from 100% to 110% of his base salary, which represents a continued emphasis on performance-based compensation. This variable, at-risk compensation is designed to incentivize performance in line with the core goal of increasing revenue and profit growth for the Company. In May 2025, Mr. Lampo was awarded 172,496 options pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan with an exercise price of $86.88 and a grant date value of $4,195,103. The imputed value of compensation for group term life insurance provided to Mr. Lampo in 2025 in excess of $50,000, net of employee payments, was $7,276. In 2026, the Company continues to contribute to Mr. Lampo’s group term life insurance. Mr. Lampo continues to participate in the Pension Plan, but his benefits under such Pension Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2006 as described in the section entitled Pension Plan Background commencing on page 48. In 2025, Mr. Lampo received a 401(k) match of $22,250. The Company made notational contributions to the DC SERP on behalf of Mr. Lampo for 2025 of $108,398. He also continues to participate in the 401(k) plan and the DC SERP in 2026. Mr. Walter. In January 2026, Mr. Walter’s annual base salary was increased by approximately 4.3% from $815,000 to $850,000, in line with the average increase generally given to other salaried employees of the Company in the United States. Based on calculations described in the section entitled Annual Cash Incentive Plans above, Mr. Walter’s payment pursuant to the 2025 Management Incentive Plan was $1,304,000, representing the product of his 2025 base salary of $815,000 multiplied by his incentive plan target percentage of 80%, multiplied by his incentive plan multiplier of 200%. This was the maximum possible payout under the 2025 Management Incentive Plan. Mr. Walter’s incentive plan target percentage pursuant to the 2026 Management Incentive Plan was increased from 80% to 85% of his base salary, which represents a continued emphasis on performance-based compensation. This variable, at-risk compensation is designed to incentivize performance in line with the core goal of increasing revenue and operating income growth within Mr. Walter’s division. In May 2025, Mr. Walter was awarded 146,824 options pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan with an exercise price of $86.88 and a grant date value of $3,570,760.
Compensation of Named Executive Officers
The imputed value of compensation for group term life insurance provided to Mr. Walter in 2025 in excess of $50,000, net of employee payments, was $15,310. In 2026, the Company continues to contribute to Mr. Walter’s group term life insurance. Mr. Walter continues to participate in the Pension Plan, but his benefits under such Pension Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2006 as described in the section entitled Pension Plan Background commencing on page 48. In 2025, Mr. Walter received a 401(k) match of $21,759. The Company made notational contributions to the DC SERP on behalf of Mr. Walter for 2025 of $102,611. He also continues to participate in the 401(k) Plan and the DC SERP in 2026. Mr. Doherty. In January 2026, Mr. Doherty’s annual base salary was increased by approximately 8.7% from $750,000 to $815,000, to reflect a market adjustment for the increased size and complexity of the Communications Solutions division. Based on calculations described in the section entitled Annual Cash Incentive Plans above, Mr. Doherty’s payment pursuant to the 2025 Management Incentive Plan was $1,200,000, representing the product of his 2025 base salary of $750,000 multiplied by his incentive plan target percentage of 80%, multiplied by his incentive plan multiplier of 200%. This was the maximum possible payout under the 2025 Management Incentive Plan. Mr. Doherty’s incentive plan target percentage pursuant to the 2026 Management Incentive Plan was increased from 80% to 85% of his base salary, which represents a continued emphasis on performance-based compensation. This variable, at-risk compensation is designed to incentivize performance in line with the core goal of increasing revenue and operating income growth within Mr. Doherty’s division. In May 2025, Mr. Doherty was awarded 146,824 options pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan with an exercise price of $86.88 and a grant date value of $3,570,760. The imputed value of compensation for group term life insurance provided to Mr. Doherty in 2025 in excess of $50,000, net of employee payments, was $11,484. In 2026, the Company continues to contribute to Mr. Doherty’s group term life insurance. In 2025, Mr. Doherty received a 401(k) match of $22,250. The Company made notational contributions to the DC SERP on behalf of Mr. Doherty for 2025 of $103,075. He also continues to participate in the 401(k) Plan and the DC SERP in 2026. Mr. Straub. In January 2026, Mr. Straub’s annual base salary was increased by approximately 5% from $600,000 to $630,000, slightly higher than the average increase generally given to other salaried employees of the Company in the United States due to the increased size and complexity of the Interconnect and Sensor Systems division. Based on calculations described in the section entitled Annual Cash Incentive Plans above, Mr. Straub’s payment pursuant to the 2025 Management Incentive Plan was $912,000, representing the product of his 2025 base salary of $600,000 multiplied by his incentive plan target percentage of 80%, multiplied by his incentive plan multiplier of 190%. This is compared to a maximum possible payout under the 2025 Management Incentive Plan of $960,000. Mr. Straub’s incentive plan target percentage pursuant to the 2025 Management Incentive Plan was increased from 80% to 85% of his base salary, which represents a continued emphasis on performance-based compensation. This variable, at-risk compensation is designed to incentivize performance in line with the core goal of increasing revenue and operating income growth within Mr. Straub’s division.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
(1) The amounts in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies; Stock-Based Compensation and Note 7 — Equity; Stock-Based Compensation; Stock Options to the Company’s 2025 Annual Report, except that rules of the SEC require that the amounts shown in this table and its footnotes exclude the impact of assumed forfeitures, if any, related to service based vesting conditions. The amounts in this column do not correspond to the actual value that may be recognized by the named executive officers when any such option awards are actually exercised. (2) The non-equity incentive plan compensation for each year was paid in January of the following year. In 2006, the Company amended its Pension Plan by freezing accruals effective December 31, 2006 for certain personnel below the age of 50 and/or with certain years of service with the Company. Simultaneously, the Company implemented employer contributions to the Amphenol 401(k) Plan and to a related non-qualified supplemental defined contribution plan, or DC SERP, for those same individuals and for certain new hires. Beginning in 2007, Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter no longer accrue any additional benefits under the Pension Plan. In 2025, there was an increase in pension values for Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter of $10,200, $3,000 and $2,100, respectively, because of changes in actuarial assumptions in 2025 as compared to 2024; in 2024, there was a decrease in pension values for Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter of $5,100, $1,600 and $44,000, respectively, because of changes in actuarial assumptions in 2024 as compared to 2023; and in 2023, there was an increase in pension values for Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter of $8,800, $2,600 and $24,200, respectively, because of changes in actuarial assumptions in 2023 as compared to 2022. Notwithstanding that their pension benefits were frozen effective December 31, 2006, the value of the frozen benefits fluctuates as related actuarial assumptions change. The changes in pension value in each case represent the increase and decrease, respectively, in the actuarial present value of their respective benefits under the Pension Plan. For years in which changes in actuarial assumptions result in a decrease in pension value, rather than report a negative number, a change of $0 is reported. Messrs. Doherty and Straub do not participate in the Pension Plan. “All Other Compensation” consists of the following:

Pension Benefits for the 2025 Fiscal Year
(1) Credited service was frozen as of December 31, 2006 for Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter. (2) Computed as of December 31, 2025, the same Pension Plan measurement date used for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the Company’s audited 2025 financial statements. Calculation of present value reflects FASB ASC Topic 715, “Compensation Retirement Benefits,” disclosure assumptions described in Note 9 — Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits to the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. (3) Although Mr. Norwitt had been employed with the Company or its subsidiaries for approximately eight years when his credited service was frozen, he has only 3.0 years of credited service in the Pension Plan and the SERP. Prior to becoming directly employed by Amphenol Corporation and joining the Pension Plan and the SERP, Mr. Norwitt was employed by Amphenol East Asia Limited, a Hong Kong subsidiary of the Company. (4) Although Mr. Walter had been employed with the Company or its subsidiaries for approximately 23 years when his credited service was frozen, he has only 8.0 years of credited service in the Pension Plan and the SERP. Prior to becoming directly employed by Amphenol Corporation and joining the Pension Plan and the SERP, Mr. Walter was employed by Amphenol Socapex SAS, a French subsidiary of the Company. (5) Messrs. Doherty and Straub do not participate in the Pension Plan or the SERP. Pension Plan and 401(k) Plan. Beginning on January 1, 2007, non-grandfathered participants in the Pension Plan, including Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter, and most U.S.-based employees who were not participants in the Pension Plan as of December 31, 2006, including Mr. Doherty and Mr. Straub, have been provided a Company contribution to their Company qualified 401(k) savings plan (the “Amphenol 401(k) Plan”) accounts. In 2025, the Company contribution was equal to 3% of their covered earnings (for which no employee contribution is required) and in addition, the Company matched 50% of the employee’s first 8% contribution of their covered earnings. Covered earnings include base salary and incentive plan compensation. The Company also sponsors a non-qualified supplemental defined contribution plan (the “DC SERP”) for selected non-grandfathered participants in the Amphenol 401(k) Plan. Each of our named executive officers participates in the DC SERP. Participants in the DC SERP are credited with an 8% employer contribution on compensation in excess of the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Each participating named executive officer is also permitted to defer up to 8% of his estimated compensation in excess of the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code to a DC SERP account. A participant may elect to defer base salary and non-equity incentive plan compensation under the DC SERP and a participant’s election to defer compensation is made prior to the beginning of each year and is binding for the applicable year. The participant concurrently selects the timing of the distribution of their deferred compensation. Distributions may occur upon termination of employment (which could include retirement, death or disability) or upon a specified future date while still employed (an “in-service distribution”), as elected by the participant. For the named executive officers, any distribution payable on account of termination of employment will not occur until after six months following termination of employment pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Compensation deferred by participants and any matching contributions made by the Company are credited to a bookkeeping account that represents the Company’s unsecured obligation to repay the participant in the future.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL The amount of compensation that may be payable to each named executive officer upon voluntary termination, early retirement, normal retirement, involuntary not-for-cause termination, for-cause termination, termination following a change of control and in the event of disability or death of the executive is shown on the tables on pages 53-55. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2025, and thus include amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts which could have been paid out to the named executive officers in connection with their termination. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined in the event of and at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company. Payments Made Upon Termination. Regardless of the manner in which a named executive officer’s employment is terminated, he or she is entitled to receive amounts earned during his or her term of employment. Such amounts might include: • unused vacation pay; • amounts accrued and vested through the Company’s retirement plans; • statutory entitlements; and • non-equity incentive compensation relating to the fiscal year. Payments Made Upon Retirement. The plan administrator (currently the Compensation Committee) has the discretion to decide if options will continue to vest following normal retirement at age 65 with at least five years of employment with the Company or upon early retirement at or after age 55 with more than 10 years of employment with the Company. Mr. Walter is currently eligible for normal retirement. Messrs. Doherty, Norwitt, Lampo and Straub are currently eligible for early retirement. Payments Made Upon Involuntary Not for Cause Termination or Involuntary for Good Reason Termination. In the event of involuntary not for cause termination or involuntary for good reason termination of any employee, including a named executive officer, in addition to the benefits which might be made as reflected under the heading Payments Made Upon Termination above, the Board has the discretion to decide if options that are not vested at the time of such termination shall vest and the terms of such vesting. The disclosure in the tables below for involuntary not for cause termination and involuntary for good reason termination assumes that the Board has exercised its discretion to continue vesting of all such options. Payments Made Upon a Change in Control. Pursuant to the 2009 Option Plan, immediately prior to a change in control (as defined in the plan), all outstanding options held by any employee, including a named executive officer, immediately vest and become exercisable at the discretion of the Board. Pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan, the plan administrator (currently the Compensation Committee) has discretion to accelerate options upon a change in control (as defined in the plan). The disclosure in the tables below relating to change in control assumes that the Board has exercised its discretion to cause all shares to vest. Payments Made Upon Death or Disability. In the event of the death or disability of any employee, including a named executive officer, in addition to the benefits which might be made as reflected under the heading Payments Made Upon Termination above, he or she may receive benefits and/or payments under the group term life insurance plan and/or the Company funded disability plan, as appropriate. In the event of death or disability as defined in the Company’s Option Plans, assuming the minimum service requirements have been satisfied, all outstanding options held by such individual will immediately vest. The disclosure in the tables below reflects that the minimum service requirements for all named executive officers have been satisfied. Health Care Benefits. The Company does not currently offer any of the named executive officers any enhanced health care benefits on termination for any reason.

(a) In 2006, the Company amended its Pension Plan by freezing accruals effective December 31, 2006 for certain employees, including three of our 2025 NEOs that participated in the Pension Plan, Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter. Messrs. Doherty and Straub do not participate in the Pension Plan. In 2025, there was an increase in pension values for Messrs. Norwitt, Lampo and Walter because of changes in actuarial assumptions in 2025 as compared to 2024. Notwithstanding that their pension benefits were frozen in 2006, the value of the frozen benefits fluctuates as related actuarial assumptions change. (b) Because the Pension Plan has been frozen for each of our participating NEOs since 2006, the reportable service cost for 2025 is $0.

CEO PAY RATIO
CEO PAY RATIO As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Norwitt, President and CEO (the “CEO”). The Company is a vertically integrated manufacturer with extensive labor-intensive operations in numerous low-cost countries. As of December 31, 2025, we estimate that our employee population consisted of approximately 170,000 individuals globally, with a majority of those employees based in low-cost countries. The Company’s disclosed ratio may be higher relative to other companies which rely more heavily on outsourced production or otherwise source products and components from low-cost countries without operating their own manufacturing facilities. We believe our compensation levels are competitive with prevailing wage rates in the local markets in which we operate. In 2025, the Company concluded that there were not any changes in the employee population or our compensation practices that would significantly affect our pay ratio disclosure and, consequently, that no change to the employee identified at the median compensation level of the Company as identified in our 2024 compensation analysis (the “Median Employee”) was warranted. For 2025, the total annual compensation (determined in accordance with the summary compensation table rules) of our Median Employee, who was a direct labor employee in one of our China plants, was $18,816 (based on the average US dollar to RMB exchange rate for 2025 of 0.1392 as reported by Bloomberg). In addition, for 2025, the total annual compensation for the employee identified at the median compensation level of US based employees of the Company (the “Median US Employee”) was $66,799 (determined in accordance with the summary compensation table rules). For 2025, our last completed fiscal year, annual total compensation of the CEO for purposes of determining the CEO Pay Ratio was $22,351,288. Based on this information, for 2025, the ratio of the annual total compensation of the CEO to the annual total compensation of the Median Employee is estimated to be 1188:1 and the ratio of the annual total compensation of the CEO to annual total compensation of the Median US Employee is estimated to be 335:1. The pay ratios above are reasonable estimates calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodologies described below. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. Moreover, there are a number of factors which make a meaningful comparison of pay ratios difficult, such as industry specific pay differentials, the geographic location of employee populations and a company’s manufacturing strategy (e.g., outsourcing versus insourcing).
