On May 9, 2025, Teradyne, Inc. (the "Company") held its 2025 annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"). At the Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved the Company's Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the "Amended Plan"), which is an amendment and restatement of the Company's 2006 Equity and Cash Compensation Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan").

The Company's board of directors previously approved the Amended Plan, subject to shareholder approval, on March 24, 2025. The Amended Plan became effective immediately upon shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting.
