To our shareholders, partners, customers and employees
Fiscal Year 2025 was a year of outstanding results for Logitech.
We returned the Company to growth - expanding each quarter to deliver topline growth of +6% in US dollars year over year. The growth was broad-based across key product categories, geographies and across both business and consumer channels. We expanded our market share in strategic categories across the portfolio. We continue to be number one or two in 12 of the 13 categories in which we compete. And we achieved all this while simultaneously driving profitability - annual gross margins were 43.1%, up 170 basis points compared to the prior year.
As a result, Logitech closed the year with a pristine balance sheet and healthy cash position. Cash flow from operations was $843 million, and the end-of-year cash balance was $1.5 billion. We returned approximately $800 million to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases.
This strong performance was reflected internally, too. Our latest global survey saw overall employee engagement at 78%, 9 points above the industry benchmark. And in Forbes’ survey of the World’s Best Employers, Logitech ranked number 20 out of 850 global companies
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES DRIVE OUTSTANDING RESULTS
These outstanding results reflect the hard work of our teams, and solid progress against our strategic priorities:
Superior products and innovation: We launched 39 new products in FY 2025, innovating across our portfolio in existing and in new categories. This innovation was recognized by ten Red Dot and four iF design awards, including for products in new categories like MX Ink and MX Creative Console. Many won multiple awards, such as the Logitech Sight camera, which made TIME’s list of Best Inventions of 2024, SonntagsZeitung’s Swiss Innovations 2024 and Fast Company’s list of the Next Big Things in Tech. We also released new best-sellers, including the Combo Touch keyboard case for the new iPads, the Pro X Superlight 2 gaming mouse and the Astro A50 gaming headset. These results reflect the strategic investments we made in research and
development - about 6% of sales - and the dedication of our world-class design and engineering teams.
Double down on business-to-business (B2B): While we continued to win in consumer channels, we accelerated our focus on B2B. Our newly established Logitech for Business organization drove robust growth across Video Collaboration, Headsets, Keyboards & Combos, and Pointing Devices. Products like Sight and the Rally Board 65 helped drive this growth, which was also enabled by smart new AI-driven features across the portfolio. Aided by the new organizational setup, we improved our go-to-market capabilities and delivered double-digit growth in services as well as in the new education sector.
Excellence across geographies: We serve more than 150 countries, and worked throughout the fiscal year to apply best practices and proven strategies from market to market, bringing the best of our global expertise to each locality. In the year, we grew sales in constant currency in all three regions.
Leveraging our operations powerhouse: Resilience and excellence in operations have long set Logitech apart. We continued to drive this capability to our advantage in FY 2025. Focused product cost reductions resulted in record savings to deliver the second highest annual non-GAAP gross margin of the last decade. We manufacture five products every second, and we take great pride in doing so with superior quality, service and cost. We also ensure we are constantly improving our products’ sustainability performance by designing for sustainability along our supply chain.
All these, plus the trusted, iconic brand we are building, contributed to our Fiscal Year 2025 results and to our mission of extending human potential in Work and Play.
A FOCUS ON WORK AND PLAY, SUPPORTED BY MACRO TRENDS
Earlier this year, at our analyst and investor day, we highlighted our focus on the macro areas of Work and Play, which represent a large, growing serviceable addressable market (SAM). Our revenue today is about $4.6 billion, but our SAM is about $24 billion, including Gaming, Personal Workspace, the B2B market and a set of verticals that we have only recently entered - Education, Healthcare and the Public Sector.
| | | | | | | | |
|
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, PARTNERS, CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES
| |
This large market is growing at a robust pace. It provides Logitech a great opportunity to lead, gain share and grow in the years to come, supported by several long-term, macro trends.
First, Artificial Intelligence, AI. Generative AI, Edge AI and Agentic AI are rapidly-evolving, multi-billion dollar market opportunities that we believe will help us design smarter product experiences. We’re already leveraging AI at the Edge today across a range of products, like the Zone 2 wireless Headset and the new Spot Sensor, as well the Sight VC camera. We have developed an intelligent AI streaming assistant with NVIDIA. And it is through Logitech’s devices that people access AI, via multimodal inputs like text, images, audio and video. Our devices are already in people’s hands, on their heads and in front of their eyes. As the world embraces advances in AI at an unprecedented rate, Logitech has many new opportunities to innovate. Our role as the connection between people and the digital world has never been more critical; and the opportunity to extend human potential has never been greater.
Second, new ways of working. Most companies and people have now settled into evolved working routines. Whatever their employer’s policy, most people around the world today work from two or more places. They work in offices, from home, in cafes, hotels and airports, and everywhere in between. 71% of Global 500 Index companies are Logitech customers; and one in three meeting rooms and desks use Logitech, making us the market leader in video conferencing and personal workspace solutions. Yet, this leaves room for more. Wherever people work from, they need mice, keyboards, webcams and headsets. More than 75% of meeting rooms are not yet video conferencing-enabled. Wherever there is someone working, there's an opportunity for Logitech.
Finally, gaming continues to grow. It has become a mainstream activity, enjoyed by men and women, young and old. Much of its success can be credited to the fact that gaming has become so much more than just a game. Gaming is a sport - the International Olympic Committee has created the first-ever Olympic Esports program; and it is a huge form of connection and entertainment - for Americans under 45, more time is spent gaming than on TV and movies combined.
CHAIRPERSON TRANSITION
After eight years on our board, Wendy Becker, Logitech’s chairperson, announced her decision to step down at this year’s Annual General Meeting. Her tenure spans Logitech’s biggest years of growth both for revenues and shareholder return. Logitech is very grateful for her many years of service, strategic guidance and outstanding leadership. During Wendy’s tenure, Logitech established Logitech for Business, the Company’s B2B organization; navigated the Covid pandemic’s impact and return to growth; increased its pace of innovation; and smoothly transitioned to the fourth CEO in Logitech’s history.
A special board committee has focused on identifying Wendy’s successor, leading to the board’s unanimous nomination of Guy Gecht. With a track record of leading and advising tech companies through innovation and growth, Guy brings decades of executive and board-level experience to the role. He is the co-founder and former co-CEO of E.Merge Technology Acquisition Corp., and was CEO of publicly traded Electronics for Imaging (EFI) from 2000 to 2018, where he guided the company’s evolution into a global leader in digital printing technology. Guy has been a non-executive member of Logitech’s board since September 2019 and served as interim CEO from June to December 2023, prior to Hanneke Faber’s appointment as CEO. His nomination will be voted on by shareholders at the Company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting.
LOOKING AHEAD
We exited Fiscal Year 2025 with strong momentum. In Fiscal Year 2026, we are operating against a backdrop of uncertainty. Geopolitical conflict, fluctuating tariffs and dynamic consumer and enterprise sentiment are all factors that shape the current environment.
In these choppy waters, Logitech will continue to drive its long-term strategy, as presented at our analyst and investor day in March 2025, and stay true to its long-term values. We have overlaid three principles to our plans at this time: we will play offense; strictly control costs; and be agile. We are able to play offense because we start from a position of strength. We are a global business - approximately two-thirds of our net sales are generated outside the US. We have a diversified, flexible manufacturing footprint across six countries. We have a strong brand with customer loyalty and solid market share; a pristine balance sheet; and a highly experienced operations and commercial

team. At the same time, cost discipline and agility are more important than ever at this time.
Our teams have the talent, passion and determination to deliver, and our unique culture is stronger than ever. We look forward to delivering many more years of superior innovation and continuing our strong track record of shareholder value creation.

Agenda Proposals and Explanations |
Proposal 1
Approval of the Annual Report, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Statutory Financial Statements of Logitech International S.A. for Fiscal Year 2025
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual Report, the consolidated financial statements and the statutory financial statements of Logitech International S.A. for fiscal year 2025 be approved.
Explanation
The Logitech consolidated financial statements and the statutory financial statements of Logitech International S.A. for fiscal year 2025 are contained in Logitech’s Annual Report, which was made available to all registered shareholders on or before the date of this Invitation. The Annual Report also contains the reports of Logitech’s auditors on the consolidated financial statements and on the statutory financial statements, additional information on the Company’s business, organization and strategy, and information relating to corporate governance as required by the SIX Swiss Exchange directive on corporate governance. Copies of the Annual Report are available on the Internet at http://ir.logitech.com.
Under Swiss law, the annual report and financial statements of Swiss companies must be submitted to shareholders for approval at each annual general meeting. In the event of a negative vote on this proposal by shareholders, the Board of Directors may call an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders for reconsideration of this proposal by shareholders.
KPMG AG, as Logitech's auditors, issued an unqualified recommendation to the 2025 Annual General Meeting that the consolidated and statutory financial statements of Logitech International S.A. be approved. KPMG AG expressed their opinion that the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and comply with Swiss law. They further expressed their opinion and confirmed that the statutory financial statements and the proposed appropriation of available earnings comply with Swiss law and the Articles of Incorporation of Logitech International S.A. and the Swiss Statutory Compensation Report contains the information required by Swiss law and complies with the Articles of Incorporation.
Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal
The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, not counting abstentions.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the 2025 Annual Report, the consolidated financial statements and the statutory financial statements of Logitech International S.A. for fiscal year 2025.

Proposal 2
Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officers Compensation for Fiscal Year 2025
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Logitech’s named executive officers disclosed in Logitech’s Compensation Report for Fiscal Year 2025 (included in the Proxy Statement).
Explanation
Since 2009, the Logitech Board of Directors has asked shareholders each year to approve Logitech’s compensation philosophy, policies and practices, as set out in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of the Compensation Report included in the Proxy Statement, in a proposal commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal. Beginning with the 2011 Annual General Meeting, a say-on-pay advisory vote was required for all public companies, including Logitech, that are subject to the applicable U.S. proxy statement rules. Shareholders have been supportive of our compensation philosophy, policies and practices in each of those years.
At the 2023 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved a proposal to take the say-on-pay vote annually. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is asking shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Logitech’s named executive officers disclosed in the Compensation Report included in the Proxy Statement, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Summary Compensation table and the related compensation tables, notes, and narrative. The vote under this Proposal 2 is not intended to address any specific items of compensation or any specific named executive officer, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in the Compensation Report included in the Proxy Statement.
This say-on-pay vote is advisory and therefore is not binding. It is carried out as a best practice and to comply with applicable U.S. proxy statement rules, and is consequently independent from, and comes in addition to, the binding vote on the Approval of Compensation for the Board of Directors for the 2025 to 2026 Board Year contemplated in Proposal 11 below and the binding vote on the Approval of Compensation for the Group Management Team for fiscal year 2027 contemplated in Proposal 12 below. However, the say-on-pay vote will provide information to us regarding shareholder views about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Compensation Committee of the Board will be able to consider when determining future executive compensation. The Committee will seek to determine the causes of any significant negative voting result.
As discussed in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of Logitech’s Compensation Report for Fiscal Year 2025 included in the Proxy Statement, Logitech has designed its compensation programs to:
•provide compensation sufficient to attract and retain the level of talent needed to create and manage an innovative, high-growth, global company in highly competitive and rapidly evolving markets;
•support a performance-oriented culture;
•place most of total compensation at risk based on Logitech’s performance, while maintaining controls over inappropriate risk-taking by factoring in both annual and long-term performance;
•provide a balance between short-term and long-term objectives and results;
•align executive compensation with shareholders’ interests by tying a significant portion of compensation to increasing share value; and
•reflect an executive’s role and past performance through base salary and short-term cash incentives, and his or her potential for future contribution through long-term equity incentive awards.

AGENDA PROPOSALS AND EXPLANATIONS
| |
While compensation is a central part of attracting, retaining and motivating the best executives and employees, we believe it is not the sole or exclusive reason why exceptional executives or employees choose to join and stay at Logitech, or why they work hard to achieve results for shareholders and other stakeholders. In this regard, both the Compensation Committee of the Board and management believe that providing a working environment and opportunities in which executives and employees can develop, express their individual potential, and make a difference are also a key part of Logitech’s success in attracting, motivating and retaining executives and employees.
The Compensation Committee of the Board has developed a compensation program that is described more fully in the Compensation Report for Fiscal Year 2025 included in the Proxy Statement. Logitech’s compensation philosophy, compensation program risks and design, and compensation paid during fiscal year 2025 are also set out in the Compensation Report included in the Proxy Statement.
Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal
The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, not counting abstentions.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the following advisory resolution:
“Resolved, that the compensation paid to Logitech’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Compensation Report for Fiscal Year 2025, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the "Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2025" and the related compensation tables, notes, and narrative discussion, is hereby approved.”

Proposal 3
Advisory Vote on the Swiss Statutory Compensation Report for Fiscal Year 2025
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the Swiss Statutory Compensation Report for fiscal year 2025.
Explanation
Under Swiss corporate law, we are required to prepare a separate Swiss Statutory Compensation Report and to submit it annually to our shareholders for an advisory vote. The current Swiss Statutory Compensation Report sets forth, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the aggregate compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and the members of the Group Management Team.
With regard to the compensation of our Group Management Team, we note that at the 2023 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the fiscal year 2025 maximum aggregate compensation amount for our Group Management Team in the aggregate amount of $26.7 million with 83.7% of shareholders voting in favor of the proposal. Shareholders also approved at the 2024 Annual General Meeting, respectively, the maximum aggregate compensation amounts for the Board of Directors for the Board Year from the 2023 Annual General Meeting to the 2024 Annual General Meeting and the Board Year from the 2024 Annual General Meeting to 2025 Annual General Meeting, respectively, of CHF 3.7 million and CHF 3.9 million with 96.80% and 94.93% of shareholders voting in favor of the proposals.
For our 2025 Swiss Statutory Compensation Report together with the statutory report of our auditor thereon as included in the Proxy Statement, please refer to the Proxy Statement under the heading “Compensation Tables Audited Under Swiss Law.”
Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal
The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, not counting abstentions.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" approval, on an advisory basis, of the Swiss Statutory Compensation Report for fiscal year 2025.

Proposal 4
Advisory Vote on the Swiss Statutory Non-Financial Matters Report for Fiscal Year 2025
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the Swiss Statutory Non-Financial Matters Report for fiscal year 2025.
Our Swiss Statutory Non-Financial Matter Report for fiscal year 2025 is available on our website at https://ir.logitech.com/financial-info/annual-reports/default.aspx.
Explanation
Under Swiss corporate law, we are required to prepare a Swiss Statutory Non-Financial Matters Report and to submit it annually to our shareholders for an advisory vote at our Annual General Meeting.
Our Swiss Statutory Non-Financial Matter Report contains information about Logitech's sustainability agenda, targets and progress achieved with respect to environmental, climate, social, employee and anti-corruption matters as required by Article 964b of the Swiss Code of Obligations and the Swiss Ordinance on Climate Disclosures.
ERM Certification and Verification Services Limited provided a limited assurance in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagement (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) on selected key performance indicators, included in our Swiss Statutory Non-Financial Matters Report.
Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal
The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, not counting abstentions.

Proposal 5
Appropriation of Available Earnings and Declaration of Dividend
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes the following appropriation of available earnings (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| Year ended March 31, 2025 |
Payment of a dividend in the amount of | CHF | 212,933 | |
Transfer to legal retained earnings in the narrower sense | | — | |
To be carried forward | | 1,936,469 | |
Total appropriation of available earnings | | 2,149,402 | |
Treasury shares | | (1,337,450) | |
Total available earnings for appropriation | CHF | 811,952 | |
The Board of Directors approved and proposes a gross distribution of CHF 1.26 per share or approximately $1.43 per share based on the CHF-USD exchange rate on March 31, 2025. Based on the number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025 (148,509,018 shares) and the proposed dividend per share, the maximum aggregate gross dividend would be CHF 187.1 million (approximately $212.4 million based on the CHF-USD exchange rate on March 31, 2025).
No distribution shall be made on shares held in treasury by the Company and its subsidiaries.
If the proposal of the Board of Directors is approved, the dividend payment of CHF 1.26 per share (or approximately CHF 0.8190 per share after deduction of 35% Swiss withholding tax where required) will be made on or about September 24, 2025 to all shareholders as of the record date (which will be on or about September 23, 2025). We expect that the shares will be traded ex-dividend as of approximately September 22, 2025. For payments made in USD, we expect to use the currency exchange rate as of the date of the meeting, September 9, 2025.
Explanation
Under Swiss law, the use of available earnings must be submitted to shareholders for approval at each annual general meeting. The available earnings at the disposal of Logitech shareholders at the 2025 Annual General Meeting are the earnings of Logitech International S.A., the Logitech parent holding company.
The proposal of the Board of Directors to distribute a gross dividend of CHF 1.26 per share which, if approved by shareholders, would be an increase of approximately CHF 0.10 from CHF 1.16 per share to CHF 1.26 per share. This proposed, increased cash dividend demonstrates Logitech’s continued commitment to consistently return cash to shareholders. Since fiscal year 2013, the Board of Directors decided on a recurring annual gross dividend and not an occasional one. As a consequence, the Company expects to propose a dividend to the shareholders of the Company every year (subject to the confirmation of the Company’s statutory auditors in the applicable year).
Other than the distribution of the dividend, the Board of Directors proposes the carry-forward of available earnings based on the Board’s belief that it is in the best interests of Logitech and its shareholders to retain Logitech’s earnings for future investment in the growth of Logitech’s business, for share repurchases, and for the possible acquisition of other companies or lines of business.

Proposal 6
Amendment of Articles of Incorporation: Renewal of the Capital Band
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that the Company's existing capital band, which authorizes the Board to issue shares, to repurchase and cancel shares, or to reduce the nominal value of the shares, be renewed for a period ending five years after the date of the 2025 Annual General Meeting on September 9, 2030.
The proposed amendments to Article 27 and Article 28 of our Articles of Incorporation are set forth in Annex 6 to our Proxy Statement.
Explanation
At the 2023 Annual General Meeting, our shareholders approved the Company's existing capital band, which authorizes the Board of Directors until September 13, 2028, to issue new shares, to repurchase and cancel shares, or to reduce the nominal value of the shares. Following the capital band's adoption, we have utilized this authority to conduct share repurchases for cancellation under our share repurchase program announced on June 21, 2023 for an amount of up to USD 1 billion; as disclosed on March 5, 2025, this amount was subsequently increased to a maximum of USD 1.6 billion.
As of the end of June 2025, we have repurchased shares for a value totaling approximately USD 1.08 billion under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program and cancelled or approved for cancellation a total of 12,322,160 of those shares, leaving a remaining authority to cancel 4,988,502 shares. Because we expect to continue repurchasing shares beyond both the date of this proxy statement and the 2025 Annual General Meeting, cancellations will further reduce the available authority under the capital band for that purpose. Consequently, the Board of Directors believes that, in light of the near depletion of the current capital band’s cancellation capacity, it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company to renew the capital band on terms substantially the same as those approved at the 2023 Annual General Meeting. This renewal would preserve the Company’s ability to continue repurchasing shares, canceling those repurchased shares and issuing new shares subject to the terms substantially the same as those approved at the 2023 Annual General Meeting.
Accordingly, the Board of Directors is proposing to shareholders that its authority under the capital band be renewed for another five years, until September 9, 2030. Under the proposed renewal of the capital band, the Board would be permitted to increase the current stated share capital by up to 10 percent or reduce it by up to 10 percent by canceling shares or decreasing the nominal value of the shares. The restated Article 28 of our Articles of Incorporation would continue to ensure that the Company does not issue new shares under the proposed capital band or the existing conditional capital for convertible bonds, in aggregate, exceeding 10 percent of the Company’s existing share capital as of the AGM date, in situations where shareholders’ preferential subscription rights are restricted or excluded.
The Board of Directors has no present plans to issue shares out of the capital band. The share capital would only be increased if and when the Board of Directors makes use of its authorization.
If the proposal under this agenda item is approved, we would always seek shareholder approval for share issuances to the extent required under Nasdaq rules. Under current Nasdaq rules, shareholder approval is generally required, with certain enumerated exceptions, to issue common shares or securities convertible into or exercisable for common shares in one or a series of related transactions if such common shares represent 20% or more of the voting power or outstanding common shares of the company. Nasdaq rules also require shareholder approval for an issuance of shares that would result in a change of control of the company, as well as for share issuances in connection with certain benefit plans or related party transactions.

Release of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers from Liability for Activities During Fiscal Year 2025

Proposal 11
Approval of Compensation for the Board of Directors for the 2025 to 2026 Board Year
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders approve a maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Board of Directors of CHF 3,900,000 for the term of office from the 2025 Annual General Meeting until the 2026 Annual General Meeting (the “2025 – 2026 Board Year”).
Explanation
Pursuant to Swiss corporate law, the compensation of the Board of Directors must each year be subject to a binding shareholder vote, in the manner contemplated by Logitech’s Articles of Incorporation. Article 19 quater, paragraph 1 letter (a) of Logitech’s Articles of Incorporation provides that shareholders shall approve the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Board of Directors for the period up to the next Annual General Meeting.
Under the Articles of Incorporation, the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors who do not have management responsibilities consists of cash payments and shares or share equivalents. The value of cash compensation and shares or share equivalents corresponds to a fixed amount, which reflects the functions and responsibilities assumed. The value of shares or share equivalents is calculated at market value at the time of grant.
The proposed maximum amount of CHF 3,900,000 has been determined based on 10 non-executive members of the Board of Directors and on the following non-binding assumptions:
With respect to the 10 non-executive members of the Board of Directors, the compensation consists of the following elements:
•Cash payments of a maximum of CHF 1,300,000. Cash payments for non-executive members of the Board of Directors include annual retainers for Board and committee service and an annual retainer for a non-executive Chairperson.
•Share or share equivalent awards of a maximum of CHF 2,200,000. The value of share or share equivalent awards corresponds to a fixed amount and the number of shares granted will be calculated at market value at the time of their grant.
•Other payments, including accrual of the Company's estimated contributions to social security, of a maximum of CHF 400,000.
Shareholders are approving the maximum aggregate amount of compensation set forth in the proposal and not the individual components thereof. The assumptions set forth in this explanation are based on the Company’s current expectations about future compensation plans and decisions. The Company may redesign its compensation plans or make alternative compensation decisions within the maximum aggregate amount of compensation approved by shareholders. The actual compensation awarded to the members of the Board of Directors for the 2025 - 2026 Board Year will be disclosed in the Compensation Report included in the Proxy Statement for the 2027 Annual General Meeting.
Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal
The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, not counting abstentions.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the maximum aggregate amount of the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors of CHF 3,900,000 for the term of office from the 2025 Annual General Meeting until the 2026 Annual General Meeting.

Proposal 12
Approval of Compensation for the Group Management Team for Fiscal Year 2027
Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders approve a maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Group Management Team of USD 28,302,000 for fiscal year 2027.
Explanation
Pursuant to Swiss corporate law, the compensation of the Company’s Group Management Team must each year be subject to a binding shareholder vote, in the manner contemplated by Logitech’s Articles of Incorporation. Article 19 quater, paragraph 1 letter (b) of Logitech’s Articles of Incorporation provides that shareholders shall approve the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Group Management Team for the next fiscal year. As the 2025 Annual General Meeting takes place in the middle of Logitech’s fiscal year 2026, the applicable next fiscal year is fiscal year 2027. This required, binding vote on the compensation of the Group Management Team is independent from, and comes in addition to, the non-binding, advisory say-on-pay vote contemplated in Proposal 2 and Proposal 3.
Logitech’s Group Management Team currently consists of Ms. Johanna 'Hanneke' Faber, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Mr. Matteo Anversa, Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Prakash Arunkundrum, President of Logitech for Business, and Ms. Samantha Harnett, Chief Legal Officer.
Logitech’s compensation philosophy, compensation program risks and design, and compensation paid during fiscal year 2025 are set forth in the Compensation Report included in the Proxy Statement.
The proposed maximum amount of USD 28,302,000 has been determined based on the following non-binding assumptions for Logitech’s Group Management Team as an aggregate group:
•The Group Management Team includes four members.
•Gross base salaries of a maximum of USD 3,300,000.
•Performance-based cash compensation of a maximum of USD 6,700,000 at grant value. Performance-based cash compensation in the form of incentive cash payments may be earned under the Logitech Management Performance Bonus Plan (the “Annual Bonus Plan”) or other cash bonuses approved by the Compensation Committee. Payout under the Annual Bonus Plan is variable, and is based on the achievement of the Company’s, individual executives’ or other performance goals, and for fiscal year 2027 is expected to continue to range from 0% to 200% of the executive’s target incentive. The maximum amount of the performance-based bonus for fiscal year 2027 assumes a maximum achievement of all performance goals.
•Equity incentive awards of a maximum of USD 16,900,000 at grant value. Long-term equity incentive awards are generally granted in the form of performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"). In order to align with the methodology used in the Compensation Report in the Proxy Statement, where the value of PSUs is disclosed based on estimated fair value at the time of grant, the fair value at grant has been considered to calculate the maximum amount of the long-term equity awards. The target number of PSU awards granted to our Group Management Team in fiscal year 2027 will be determined at the beginning of the three-year performance period and the number of shares that will vest at the end of the three-year performance period is expected to continue to range from 0% to 200% of the executive's target number of shares depending on our corporate performance.
•Other compensation of a maximum of USD 1,402,000. Other compensation may include tax preparation services and related expenses, 401(k) savings plan matching contributions, premiums for group term life insurance and long-term disability insurance, employer’s contribution to medical premiums, relocation or extended business travel-related expenses, defined benefit pension plan employment contributions, accrual of estimated employer's contribution to social security and Medicare, and other awards. The Company generally does not provide all of these components of other compensation to all executives each year, but the proposed maximum amount of compensation has been formulated to provide flexibility to cover these compensation components as applicable.

Proposal
The Board of Directors proposes that KPMG AG be re-elected as auditors of Logitech International S.A. for a one-year term and that the appointment of KPMG LLP as Logitech’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026 be ratified.
Explanation
KPMG AG, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, is proposed for re-election for a further year as auditors for Logitech International S.A. KPMG AG assumed its first audit mandate for Logitech during fiscal year 2015.

Logitech’s Articles of Incorporation do not require that shareholders ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. However, Logitech is submitting the appointment of KPMG LLP to shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain KPMG LLP. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, change the appointment during the year if the Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of Logitech and its shareholders.
Information on the fees paid by Logitech to KPMG AG and KPMG LLP, the Company’s auditors and independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025, respectively, as well as further information regarding KPMG AG and KPMG LLP, is set out in our Proxy Statement under the heading “Independent Auditors” and “Report of the Audit Committee.”
One or more representatives of KPMG AG will be present at the 2025 Annual General Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement at the meeting if they wish, and are expected to be available to respond to questions from shareholders.
Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the re-election of KPMG AG as auditors of Logitech International S.A. and the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as Logitech’s independent registered public accounting firm, each for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

Any person who purchases shares after the Share Register closes on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 will not be able to register them until the day after the meeting and so will not be able to vote the shares at the meeting. |

(Registration starts at 8:30 a.m.)
Dear shareholders:
You are cordially invited to attend Logitech’s 2025 Annual General Meeting. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 9, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. at the SwissTech Convention Center, EPFL, in Lausanne, Switzerland.
As the point of connection between people and the digital world, Logitech’s mission is to extend human potential in work and play, in a way that is good for people and the planet. Sustainability is at the heart of our approach and we are constantly improving our products by designing for sustainability along our supply chain.

We look forward to your participation as we continue to innovate responsibly for a better future.
