Additional criteria include a candidate’s personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, as well as his or her willingness to devote sufficient time to prepare for and attend meetings and participate effectively on the Board.
The Board Governance Guidelines provide that the Nominating, Governance & Sustainability Committee is responsible for reviewing with the Board, from time to time, the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the current make-up of the Board.

the Compensation Committee also holds executive sessions not attended by any members of management or by non-independent directors.
Use of Market Data for Comparison Against Peer Companies
One factor that the Compensation Committee considers when making compensation decisions is the compensation paid to executives of a peer group of companies. The Compensation Committee also considers other factors discussed below under the heading “Components of Executive Compensation.”
Our compensation peer group consists of publicly traded companies of roughly similar size to Advanced Energy, all of which are from related industries, including the semiconductor and electronic equipment industries, and may compete with Advanced Energy for executive talent. Our criteria for selecting our peer group companies includes companies with revenue between 50% and 200% and market capitalization between 33% and 300% of Advanced Energy.
The Compensation Committee reviews our peer companies annually to take into account the volatility and breadth of the industries in which Advanced Energy participates. While the Compensation Committee attempts to maintain consistency year to year, adjustments are made as needed. In consultation with Compensia, the Compensation Committee reviewed its list of peer companies in July 2022, to be used for a comparative review for 2023 compensation. As a result of this review, the Compensation Committee removed Azenta, Inc. (formerly Brooks Automation, Inc.), Curtiss-Wright Corp., MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc., Moog, Inc., Novanta, Inc., Rogers Corporation, Semtech Corp., SPX Technologies, and Wolfspeed Inc. due to revenues outside the selection criteria, acquisition activity, and less relevant business fits. To replace these companies and better align with the semiconductor industry, the Compensation Committee added Cirrus Logic, Inc., MaxLinear, Inc., Silicon Laboratories Inc., Synaptics Incorporated, and Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc.
For 2023, the list of peer companies consists of the following 15 publicly traded companies.
Peer Companies |
Coherent Corp. (formerly II-IV) | | Littelfuse Inc. | | Power Integrations, Inc. |
Cirrus Logic, Inc. | | MaxLinear, Inc. | | Silicon Laboratories Inc. |
Entegris, Inc. | | MKS Instruments, Inc. | | Smart Global Holdings Inc. |
FormFactor, Inc. | | Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. | | Synaptics Incorporated |
Kulicke & Soffa Industries, Inc. | | OSI Systems, Inc. | | Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. |
Components of Executive Compensation
For 2023, the principal components of compensation for named executive officers were: (1) base salary, (2) annual performance-based cash compensation under the 2023 STI Plan, (3) long-term performance-based equity incentive compensation under the 2023 LTI Plan, and (4) other benefits, each of which is described in more detail below. As we mentioned above, a majority of our named executive officers’ target compensation in 2023 was performance-based compensation under our 2023 STI Plan and 2023 LTI Plan, consistent with our “pay for performance culture.”

*** | Adjusted Cash Flow is measured as Non-GAAP Operating Income from Continuing Operations plus or minus the change in working capital, as defined as Accounts Receivable, Inventory, and Accounts Payable. |
Note: Achievement percentages between the threshold and target and between the target and stretch levels are linearly interpolated for each of the first and second half year results, and then those results are averaged together for the full-year payout levels. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures above is provided in Appendix A to this proxy statement.
Results of the 2023 Short-Term Incentive Plan
Based on the performance over both halves of the incentive period, our overall corporate achievement was 100.3% for 2023. As a result, the Company’s payouts under the 2023 Short-Term Incentive Plan were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Financial |
| | | (Actual at 100.3 % of Target) |
Name | | | Target | | | Actual |
Stephen Kelley | | | $ 1,187,500 | | | $ 1,191,063 |
Paul Oldham | | | $ 455,175 | | | $ 456,541 |
Eduardo Bernal Acebedo | | | $ 417,748 | | | $ 419,001 |
Elizabeth Vonne | | | $ 307,500 | | | $ 308,423 |
John Donaghey | | | $ 391,000 | | | $ 392,173 |
The 2023 STI Plan included a discretionary individual performance-based modifier ranging from 0% to 150% of the amounts otherwise earned based on corporate performance by the named executive officers. The modifier had a cap in which no executive could achieve greater than 200% of the target incentive. For fiscal year 2023, the Compensation Committee chose not to modify the 2023 bonus of any executive officer based on individual performance.
2024 Short-Term Incentive Plan
The Compensation Committee, in consultation with Compensia, maintained the 2024 Short-Term Incentive Plan largely as designed in 2023, including the right to use a discretionary individual performance-based modifier ranging from 0% to 150% for the named executive officers, and continuation of the cap in which no executive can achieve greater than 200% of the target incentive. The Compensation Committee also approved weighting the potential 2024 STI earned over the two six-month performance periods proportional to the 2024 annual operating plan where 40% of the incentive potential is calculated in the first half and 60% of the incentive potential is calculated in the second half, consistent with the timing of projected earnings. Each half will be a stand-alone performance period.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Compensation
We use stock awards to motivate and reward our executive officers, including our named executive officers, for long-term corporate performance and to align their interests with those of our stockholders.
Consistent with market practice in companies of our size and in our industry, our long-term incentive program is comprised primarily of full-value equity vehicles, namely time-based and performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”). We award RSUs to provide a long-term, retentive element to the executive pay package. We also use performance-based RSUs (“performance stock units”) in the program to further enhance the alignment between pay and the long-term performance of our Company.
2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan
In fiscal year 2023, we granted our executives, including our named executive officers, a mix of performance-based and time-based RSU awards, on an equally weighted basis, under the 2023 LTI Plan. The annual equity awards granted to our named executive officers under the 2023 LTI Plan were determined by our Compensation Committee after reviewing data from a competitive market analysis prepared by Compensia. In addition, our

compensation package but did not materially impact decisions regarding other elements of executive officer compensation.
All U.S. employees of the Company, including the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) savings plan and are eligible to receive matching contributions from the Company. This plan is considered a safe-harbor plan which matches 100% of the employee’s contributions on the first three percent (3%), then fifty percent (50%) of the next two percent (2%) of contributions. The Company’s 401(k) savings plan has immediate vesting of the Company’s matching contributions.
Our U.S.-based named executive officers were entitled to a preventative care medical benefit of an annual physical with a dollar value of up to $3,500 per calendar year. Mr. Bernal Acebedo is not eligible for this benefit because he is based outside of the U.S.
Deferred Compensation Plan
In 2021, the Company established a deferred compensation plan that commenced in 2022. The plan allows a group of management employees, including the named executive officers, to defer receiving a portion of their cash or equity-based compensation.
The Company will also credit to each participant’s account under the plan an amount equal to the employer matching contribution that would have been made for the participant under the Company’s 401(k) plan that could not be made under that plan due to limitations under the tax code. The Company also may make discretionary contributions to participants’ accounts in the plan.
Earnings and losses on amounts deferred under the plan will be determined on the basis of the participants’ deemed investments of their account balances into investment alternatives selected by participants from alternatives made available by the Compensation Committee from time to time, which may include commercially available investments or Company stock.
Generally, distributions under the plan will be paid in a cash lump sum or Advanced Energy common stock (aligned with their deemed investments) six months after the participant’s separation from service unless the participant has elected to receive annual installments over a period of up to ten years or the participant has begun receiving distributions as a result of an election to receive distributions on a specified date prior to separation from service. A participant also may elect to receive distributions on the participant’s death or disability.
Any and all company contributions to this plan for 2023 are disclosed in the “Summary Compensation Table for 2023” (the “Summary Compensation Table”) and the “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” sections below.
Tax and Accounting Implications
When determining the compensation packages of our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers all factors that may have an impact on our financial performance, such as accounting rules and tax regulations, including Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) generally disallows a tax deduction to publicly traded corporations for compensation in excess of $1 million paid for any fiscal year to certain covered employees, generally including our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee believes that the tax deduction limitation should not compromise the Company’s ability to design and maintain executive compensation arrangements necessary to attract and retain strong executive talent. Accordingly, achieving the desired flexibility in the design and delivery of compensation may result in compensation that in certain cases is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.
Response to the 2023 Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the SEC’s rulemakings thereunder, we offered our stockholders an advisory vote on executive compensation as set forth more fully in our 2023 proxy statement. As reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 28, 2023,

Change in Control and General Severance Agreements
The Company entered into certain executive change in control and general severance agreements (the “agreements”) in 2018 with Mr. Oldham, in 2021 with Mr. Kelley and in 2022 with Ms. Vonne and Mr. Donaghey. The agreements provide each of the executive officers with severance payments and certain benefits in the event of a termination without cause (as defined in the agreements) at any time (known as the “General Severance Benefits”), or a termination without cause or for good reason (as defined in the agreements) following an actual, or during a pending, change in control (known as “CIC Benefits”). The Company provides CIC Benefits in order to keep management focused on the Company’s stated corporate objectives irrespective of whether the achievement of such objectives makes the Company attractive for acquisition, and to avoid the distraction and loss of key management that could occur in connection with a rumored or actual change in corporate control. The Company decided to also provide General Severance Benefits in these agreements after determining that such benefits were commonly provided by the Company’s peers. The Compensation Committee approved the terms and conditions of the agreements based on consideration of marketplace benchmark data and the Company’s retention objectives.
Under these agreements, if the executive’s employment is terminated without cause (and not in connection with a change in control), then the General Severance Benefits provided to the executive are: (a) all then accrued compensation, (b) a lump sum payment equal to one times (1x) (or in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, one and a half times (1.5x)) the executive’s then current annual base salary, (c) continuation of insurance and other benefits for twelve (12) months following the date of termination, (d) an amount equal to the contributions that would have been made to the Company’s retirement plans on behalf of executive, if the executive had continued to be employed for twelve (12) months following the date of termination, and (e) reimbursement, up to $15,000, for outplacement services.
Under these agreements, in the event of an executive’s termination without cause or for good reason within 12 months following an actual, or during a pending, change in control, the CIC Benefits provided to the executive are: (a) all then accrued compensation and a pro-rata portion of executive’s target bonus for the year in which the termination is effected, (b) a lump sum payment equal one and a half times (1.5x) the executive’s then current annual base salary and target bonus for the year in which the termination is effected (or in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, two times (2x) the then current annual base salary and target bonus amount), (c) continuation of insurance and other benefits for 18 months following the date of termination, (d) an amount equal to the contributions that would have been made to the Company’s retirement plans on behalf of executive, if the executive had continued to be employed for twelve (12) months following the date of termination, (e) reimbursement, up to $15,000, for outplacement services, and (f) full vesting and right to exercise all stock options, equity grants and other equity awards (at maximum) then held by the executive so terminated.
The payment of the General Severance Benefits and CIC Benefits under these agreements are conditioned upon the executive’s execution of a release of claims against the Company.
Compensation Risk Assessment
In 2023, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of our compensation consultant, Compensia, Inc., reviewed the formal risk assessment for all our incentive compensation programs that have material impact on our financial statements. In conducting such review, the Compensation Committee considered key information about each incentive compensation plan within our compensation program, including the number of participants, target annual awards, performance metrics, and design features. As a result of such review, the Compensation Committee determined that none of our incentive plans presents a material adverse risk to the financial statements of the Company.

*PEO 1Yuval Wasserman *PEO 2Steve Kelley (1) The dollar amounts reported in column (d) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mr. Kelley (our President and Chief Executive Officer) for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. (2) The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Kelley, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. Kelley during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to Mr. Kelley’s total compensation for 2023 to determine the compensation actually paid: | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reported | | | | | | | | | | | Summary | | | | | | | | | | | Compensation | | Reported Value of | | Equity | | Compensation | | Table Total for | | Equity | | Award | | Actually Paid to | Year | PEO 2 | | Awards(a) | | Adjustments(b) | | PEO 2 | 2023 | $ | 8,296,122 | | $ | (6,140,792) | | $ | 9,066,106 | | $ | 11,221,436 |

(3) The dollar amounts reported in column (f) represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s named executive officers (“NEOs”) as a group (excluding Messrs. Wasserman and Kelley, as applicable) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The names of each of the NEOs (excluding Mr. Kelley) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in 2023 are as follows: Paul Oldham, Eduardo Bernal Acebedo, Elizabeth Vonne, and John Donaghey. (4) The dollar amounts reported in column (g) represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs as a group (excluding Messrs. Wasserman and Kelley, as applicable), as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding Messrs. Wasserman and Kelley) during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Kelley) for 2023 to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in footnote 1: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Average | | | | | | | | | | | | Reported Summary | | | | | | | Average | | | Compensation | | Average | | Average Equity | | Compensation | | | Table Total for | | Reported Value of | | Award | | Actually Paid to | Year | | Non-PEO NEOs | | Equity Awards | | Adjustments(a) | | Non-PEO NEOs | 2023 | | $ | 2,249,445 | | $ | (1,326,293) | | $ | 1,958,253 | | $ | 2,881,406 |

(5) Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of (i) the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and (ii) the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. (6) Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the following published industry index: Dow Jones US Electrical Computer & Equipment. (7) The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year. (8) The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of revenue reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year. While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that revenue is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return |
Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR The following graph illustrate the relationship between the amount of compensation actually paid to Mr. Kelley, the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s named executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Kelley), the Company’s total stockholder return, and the total stockholder return of the Dow Jones Electrical Components & Equipment Index over the four years presented in the table. We believe the “Compensation Actually Paid” in each of the years reported above and over the four-year cumulative period are reflective of the Compensation Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” as the “Compensation Actually Paid” fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due to the result of our stock performance and our varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our 2023 STI program and 2023 LTI Plans.

|
|
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income |
Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income The following graph illustrate the relationship between the amount of compensation actually paid to Mr. Kelley, the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s named executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Kelley) and the Company’s net income over the four years presented in the table. While the Company does not use net income as a performance measure in the overall executive compensation program, the measure of net income is correlated with the measure Non-GAAP Operating Income which the Company does use for setting goals in the Company’s short-term incentive compensation program. As described in more detail in the section “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company targets that approximately 18% of the value of total compensation awarded to the named executive officers consists of amounts determined under the Company short-term incentive compensation program.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure |
Compensation Actually Paid and Revenue The following graph illustrates the relationship between the amount of compensation actually paid to Mr. Kelley, the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s named executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Kelley) and the Company’s revenue performance. While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that revenue is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s named executive officers, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance. As described in more detail in the section “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company targets that approximately 18% of the value of total compensation awarded to the named executive officers consists of amounts determined under the Company short-term incentive compensation program and approximately 60% of the value of total compensation awarded to the named executive officers is to be comprised of equity awards, including restricted stock and stock options.

Tabular List, Table |
Financial Performance Measures As described in greater detail in the section “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our named executive officers to increase the value of our enterprise for our stockholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s named executive officers, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows: | ● | Non-GAAP Operating Income |
| ● | Non-GAAP Gross Margin Percentage |
| ● | Relative Total Shareholder Return |

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table As described in detail in the section “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay Versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table.
