Array recognizes that our people are our most critical resource, and we value them not only as employees but also as human beings with vital roles in their families and communities. By embracing diversity and inclusion, we are expanding the definition of success and creating a space where each of us work together to fuel opportunities for our people, our company, and our customers, suppliers and communities.

Director Independence

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Board will consist of a majority of independent directors and in making independence determinations, the Board will observe all applicable requirements, including the applicable corporate governance listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Under Nasdaq rules, the Board has a responsibility to make an affirmative determination that those members of its Board that serve as independent directors do not have any relationships with the Company and its businesses that would impair their independence. In connection with these determinations, the Board reviews information regarding transactions, relationships, and arrangements involving the Company and its businesses and each director that it deems relevant to independence, including those required by Nasdaq rules.

Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, and including family relationships, our Board has determined that all eight of the current non-management directors of the Company (Messrs. Almirante, Alstead, Ashford, Corio, Forth, Khan, Schmid, Ms. Iyengar and Ms. Iyengar)Jokinen) qualify as “independent” under the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq, that each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as “independent” under Rule 10A-3 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and that each member of the CompensationHuman Capital Committee qualifies as “independent” under Rule 10C-1 of the Exchange Act. Our Board has not established separate independence requirements beyond those of Nasdaq, the Exchange Act or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the “Code”).

Board Leadership Structure

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

Our current Board leadership structure separates the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, although we do not have a corporate policy requiring that structure.

is primarily focused on matters pertaining to corporate governance, including management oversight, and strategic guidance. While the Board believes that this is the most appropriate structure at this time, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the Board leadership structure from time to time and may recommend alterations of this structure in the future.
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

THE BOARD’S ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

The Board plays an important role in risk oversight at Array through direct decision-making authority with respect to significant matters, as well as through the oversight of management by the Board and its committees. In particular, the Board administers its risk oversight function through (1) the review and discussion of regular periodic reports by the Board and its committees on topics relating to the risks that Array faces; (2) the required approval by the Board (or a committee of the Board) of significant transactions and other decisions; (3) the direct oversight of specific areas of Array’s business by the Audit, CompensationHuman Capital and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees; and (4) regular periodic reports from the auditors and other outside consultants regarding various areas of potential risk, including, among others, those relating to our internal control over financial reporting. The Board also relies on management to bring significant matters impacting Array to the attention of the Board.

Pursuant to the Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and discussing with management and Array’s independent registered public accounting firm, Array’s system of internal controls, its critical accounting practices, and policies relating to risk assessment and management. As part of this process, the Audit Committee discusses Array’s major financial risk exposures and steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposure. In addition, the Audit Committee has established procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and the confidential, anonymous submissions by employees of concerns regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing and compliance matters.

Because of the role of the Board and the Audit Committee in risk oversight, the Board believes that any leadership structure that it adopts must allow it to effectively oversee the management of the risks relating to Array’s operations. The Board acknowledges that there are different leadership structures that could allow it to effectively oversee the management of the risks relating to the Company’s operations and believes its current leadership structure enables it to effectively provide oversight with respect to such risks.

BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board has a standing Audit Committee, CompensationHuman Capital Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The composition, duties and responsibilities of these committees is described more fully below. Each committee operates pursuant to a written charter, reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter periodically and submits its charter to the Board for approval. The charters for each committee are all available on our investor relations website ir.arraytechinc.com under the “Governance Highlights” section found under the “Corporate Governance” tab.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER TRANSITION

On April 5, 2022, we announced that Mr. Fusaro, our then Chief Executive Officer, would terminate his employment as Chief Executive Officer and cease serving as a member of the Board, effective as of April 18, 2022. We determined that his termination was a termination by mutual agreement that qualified as an involuntary termination under the Company’s executive severance and change in control plan (the “Severance Policy”) and provided the separation payments to Mr. Fusaro as described below under “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

On this same date, we also announced that Mr. Hostetler was appointed our new Chief Executive Officer, effective April 18, 2022. In connection with Mr. Hostetler’s appointment, we entered into an offer letter (“Offer Letter”) with him setting forth certain terms of his employment with the Company commencing April 18, 2022. Under the terms of the Offer Letter, Mr. Hostetler is entitled to receive (i) an initial annual base salary of $850,000, (ii) an annual incentive bonus at a target level of 125% of his base salary, based on Say-On-Pay

The Offer Letter also provides that Mr. Hostetler is eligible to hold such a vote onreceive an annual basis thereafter, after taking into account feedback fromgrant under our shareholders on2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, in the advisory say-on-frequency vote includeddiscretion of the Board or the Human Capital Committee, as well as an initial equity grant under the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan upon the commencement of his employment, with an approximate value of $3,200,000 (the “Initial Equity Grant”). Sixty percent of the Initial Equity Grant was granted in this proxy statement.

Array first became publicthe form of performance stock units (“PSUs”) and forty percent of the Initial Equity Grant was in October 2020, and we have made and are continuingthe form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), as further described below under “Long-Term Incentive Awards”.

performing such general oversight and investigation functions related to Company compensation inherent to the responsibilities designated in our Compensation Committee’s charter or set forth in resolutions of our Board.
The Role of Management

Although the CompensationHuman Capital Committee has the responsibility to approve compensation for our NEOs, management also plays a role in the executive compensation process. Specifically, our Chief Executive Officer is involved in the design and implementation of our executive compensation program as it applies to his direct reports. He is typically present at CompensationHuman Capital Committee meetings, except that he is not present when the CompensationHuman Capital Committee deliberates or votes on his compensation arrangements in executive session. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews the individual performance of each executive officer annually and makes recommendations to our CompensationHuman Capital Committee regarding their compensation arrangements.

The Role of the Compensation Consultant

THE ROLE OF THE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain and terminate compensation consultants, outside legal counsel and other advisors as it deems necessary to fulfill its duties and responsibilities under its charter. The CompensationHuman Capital Committee retained Pay Governance to serve as its independent compensation consultant for fiscal year 2021.2022. Pay Governance provides analysis and recommendations to the CompensationHuman Capital Committee regarding: (i) trends and emerging topics with respect to executive compensation; (ii) peer group selection for executive compensation benchmarking; (iii) compensation practices of our peer group, (iv) compensation offers and programs for our executive officers (including our Chief Executive Officer), non-employee directors,director programs, and equity-based compensation programs for our employees; and (v) stock utilization and related metrics. The CompensationHuman Capital Committee has the sole authority to modify or approve Pay Governance’s compensation, determine the nature and scope of its services, evaluate its performance, terminate its engagement, and hire a replacement or additional consultant at any time. No other consulting firm made recommendations to the CompensationHuman Capital Committee or management on the peer group composition or on the form, amount or design of executive compensation in fiscal year 2021.2022.


ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES2023 PROXY STATEMENT23

Pay Governance consultants regularly attend meetings of the CompensationHuman Capital Committee, including executive sessions in which executive compensation related matters are discussed without the presence of management. In 2021,2022, Pay Governance attended all regularly-scheduledregularly scheduled and special meetings of the CompensationHuman Capital Committee. Pay Governance reports to the CompensationHuman Capital Committee and not to management, although Pay Governance meets with management for purposes of gathering information for its analyses and recommendations. The CompensationHuman Capital Committee reviewed the independence of Pay Governance and concluded that it is independent and that its work for the CompensationHuman Capital Committee does not raise any conflicts of interest.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES

As we continue to mature, the objective of the Array executive compensation program, seeksand the Company’s Total Rewards philosophy, remains to attract, retainalign the interests and motivate a high-performanceactivities of the senior leadership team with the interests of our shareholders. The program is constructed with the flexibility to be competitive and motivational for our executive management team in alignmentmembers, while being subject to the centralized design, approval, and control of our Human Capital Committee with the following principles:

attractiveness as an employer is a function of all total rewards elements;
target compensation should be aligned at least with the market median against our peer group (discussed below);
performance-based incentives will be a mixture of cash and equity incentives, and incentive metrics will include a combination of absolute and relative goals that represent key performance indicators for our Company;
alignment of our executive’s interests with those of our stockholders; and
consciousness of costs and the importance of return on investment in our total rewards programs;
elements:

Periodically, our CompensationHuman Capital Committee reviews the objectives and components of our executive compensation program to ensure they are appropriate and achieve their intended purpose, while allowing us to keep compensation costs manageable. To establish compensation parameters for our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, our CompensationHuman Capital Committee evaluated the information provided by our compensation consultant relative to a compensation peer group (discussed below), including each element of compensation separately and the target total direct compensation (the combined value of annual base salary,

21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

target annual incentives and long-term incentive grants (at target, with respect to performance-based awards)) for each executive officer.

It is our belief that while the market 50th percentile generally represents a desirable benchmark for each of the components of our compensation program at target, with respect to annual incentives and long-term incentives, an individual component as well as the combined value represented by total direct compensation may exceed the market 50th percentile, in the event of strong Company or individual performance. From the data and analysis provided by our compensation consultant, our Compensation Committee concluded that, for fiscal year 2021, overall base salaries, target annual incentives, and the value of long-term incentives for our Named Executive Officers are aligned between the market 50th percentile and market 75th percentile of our compensation peer group. Due to the performance-based structure of the target compensation opportunity provided to our Named Executive Officers, the actual value of compensation delivered to our executives may be higher or lower than target based on Company and individual performance. Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee determined that our process for determining executive compensation is aligned with stockholder interests with a percentagethe majority of executive pay being at risk and contingent on Company performance.

Considerations

CONSIDERATIONS

In making compensation determinations relative to our executive officers, our CompensationHuman Capital Committee takes into account the following important considerations:

Company Results

COMPANY RESULTS

We believe that the compensation provided to our executive officers should be closely related to the Company’s overall results as measured against goals approved by our Board each year. Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee evaluates each individual executive officer’s overall contribution to the Company’s ongoing and long-term performance and approves performance targets, which include operationalfinancial and financialoperational measures. The Human Capital Committee also establishes incentive compensation targets for each individual executive officer, expressed as a percentage of annual base salary. Compensation targets are correlated with competitive market data and provide for differentiation in job responsibilities.


Individual Performance
ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES2023 PROXY STATEMENT24

INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE

At the beginning of fiscal year 2021,2022, our CompensationHuman Capital Committee considered individual performance objectives for each executive officer based upon the responsibilities assigned to each executive. These objectives included both objective factors such as the executive’s role in achieving the goals and metrics considered in the formula-based portion of the bonus discussed below, as well as subjective factors such as overall corporate results, service and operational excellence, creatingand the extent to which the executive has created a culture of problem solvingproblem-solving and employee retention.

Competitive Benchmarking

COMPETITIVE BENCHMARKING

Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee considers competitive industry data in making executive pay determinations and utilizes an executive compensation benchmarking peer group of companies (“compensation peer group”) comprised of companies our CompensationHuman Capital Committee considers to be appropriate for benchmarking compensation. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021,2022, the compensation peer group included fifteen18 companies:

Enphase Energy, Inc.;
Generac Holdings Inc.;
Trimble Inc.;

For fiscal year 2022,2023, the compensation peer group was reviewed and evaluated by the CompensationHuman Capital Committee with the input of Pay Governance. Based on an analysis by Pay Governance, the CompensationHuman Capital Committee decided to remove Trimble Inc. from the compensation peer group for 2023. Also based on an analysis by Pay Governance, the Human Capital Committee determined that a peer group of seventeen companies for 2023 was within the typical range and large enough to provide stable market data. As a result, no companies were added three companies to ourthe peer group. group for 2023.

The three additions represent peer companies that are similar in size to Array:

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc.;
Shoals Technologies Group, Inc.; and

The CompensationHuman Capital Committee will review and refine the compensation peer group periodically to reflect the Company'sCompany’s growth, evolving business model and other relevant factors.
Components of Our Executive Compensation Program

COMPONENTS OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

In order to achieve the objectives of our executive compensation program, we have developed a balanced compensation package consisting of base salary, annual incentive bonus and long-term incentive stock awards. The CompensationHuman Capital Committee reviews these elements in the first quarter of each year in light of Company and individual performance, recommendations from management and other relevant information, including prior compensation history and outstanding long-term compensation arrangements. From time to time, our CompensationHuman Capital Committee may vary the composition and structure of the compensation program, the allocation among components and the criteria associated with each component. The incorporation of cash and equity elements in our executive compensation program is intended to balance the reward associated with short-term performance with the potential for achieving longer term results, as well as to support effective retention. Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee reviews the components of our compensation program together to determine the appropriate mix of compensation, including the level of fixed versus variable compensation and the percentage of compensation that is performance-based. Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee utilized information provided by Pay Governance in analyzing each component and the mix of these


ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES2023 PROXY STATEMENT25

components as compared to our compensation peer group. Each one of these elements of compensation serves a particular purpose, as discussed below.

For 2021,2022, our executive compensation program consisted of three components:

•   base salaries;

•   annual incentive bonuses; and

•   long-term stock-based incentive compensation.

In addition, Mr. Hostetler received a one-time sign-on bonus and a one-time relocation bonus in connection with his commencement of employment and each of our Named Executive Officers is provided with severance protections, including “double trigger” severance in connection with a change in control of the Company

BASE SALARIES

Base salaries compensate our executive officers for services rendered and are set in proportion to the job responsibilities of each individual. An executive officer’s base salary is initially determined upon hire or promotion based on the executive officer’s responsibilities, prior experience and the base salaries of similarly situated executives at companies in our compensation peer group. The salaries of our executive officers are generally reviewed following the end of each fiscal year and are eligible for adjustment in recognition of individual performance and to reflect our desired position in the competitive market. We seek to compensate for market movement of salaries in our compensation peer group, utilizing data provided by Pay Governance relative to peer group practices, general industry compensation surveys and competitive trends.

ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES2023 PROXY STATEMENT27

Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee structured the annual incentive bonus to be formulaic and directly linked to the achievement of Company-wide goals and metrics and individual objectives approved by our Board. The final determinations of the amount of annual incentive bonus earned are based upon the extent to which results for the fiscal year met, failed to meet, or exceeded our established goals and metrics.

Goals and Metrics

GOALS AND METRICS

In determining the goals and metrics for fiscal year 2021,2022, the Human Capital Committee based the metrics on the Company’s budget as approved by our Board. Each metric was associated with a threshold, target and a stretch level of possible

achievement. Each performance measure also was assigned a weighting factor to reflect the Company’s goals and priorities as interpreted by our CompensationHuman Capital Committee. In consultation with Pay Governance, our CompensationHuman Capital Committee established for each metric threshold, target, and stretch level of objectives and related levels of payment opportunities. These levels of achievement represent the minimum, target and maximum payout opportunity for each metric. In the event the threshold performance level is not met for a metric, none of the bonus is earned for that metric. Similarly, achieving the stretch performance level earns the maximum percentage for a metric. In the event that a metric was achieved at a level between defined achievement levels,threshold and target or target and maximum, our CompensationHuman Capital Committee makes a linear interpolation to determine the bonus earned for that metric.

EBITDA. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, is a core measure of our profitability that takes into accountconsiders both top line revenue performance and cost management and represents a key performance metric that our stockholders utilize to measure our performance.

For 2022, the Human Capital Committee analyzed EBITDA of the Array Legacy Operations segment.

Cash Conversion Cycle. Cash Conversion Cycle, or CCC, measures the efficiency of our capital allocation and represents the number of days it takes for us to convert sales into cash flow, and it also represents a key performance metric that our stockholders regularly analyze to assess our performance.

STI INTEGRATION SUCCESS

For each2022, given the importance of the executive officers, our CompensationCompany’s acquisition of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L. (“STI Norland”), the Human Capital Committee determined that it was appropriate to base a portion of the 2022 incentive bonus amount on metrics related to the integration of STI Norland. Achievement of activities in pursuit of a successful integration of the STI Norland business was measured 40% based on Achievement of Financial Targets and 60% on our Integration Effectiveness. The table below shows the detailed metrics and our achievement against each.

Based on the table above, STI Integration Success accounted for two percent of the overall bonus payment made to NEOs and executive leaders.

INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE PORTION OF ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUS

For fiscal year 2022, our Human Capital Committee considered the individual performance portion of the annual incentive bonus by assessing the officer’s performance and contributionseach executive officer against both againsttheir individual goals and the objectives established for each officer at the beginning of the year and against other relevant factors not covered directly by(or, for Mr. Hostetler, at the time he was hired). Given the degree of interdependency on necessary to achieve these individual goals, our Chief Executive Officer recommended, and objectives.

the Human Capital Committee concurred, that all executive officers would receive the same achievement equivalent to 85% of the target individual objective weight. The resultant weighted payment was equal to eight-point-five (8.5) percent of the total leadership incentive payment.

FINAL 2022 BONUS DETERMINATION

For fiscal year 2021,2022, the Human Capital Committee considered the Company’s fiscal year 2021 financial results as compared to fiscalthe objectives set early in the year 2020 financial results and the strategic steps taken by management to position the Company for success, to enhance stockholder value and to ensure continued improvement in the Company’s financial performance.

This reduction aligns executive officer awards with those of the LIPbroader employee population for our Named Executive Officers in light of the challenging financial year.
Final Bonus Determination
As the Company did not meet threshold-level performance for the financial components of the 2021 LIP, and as our Compensation Committee elected not to fund payouts under the individual performance component of the plan in light of the challenging operating environment in 2021, no payouts were earned under the 2021 LIP. Mr. Stacherski did receive a $75,000 cash bonus for 2021 per the terms of his offer agreement. His offer agreement was negotiated in connection to his commencement of employment in July 2021 prior to his appointment to a senior executive officer in October 2021. None of our executive officers, including none of our Named Executive Officers, have any current agreements in place with future guaranteed bonuses.

Long-Term Stock Incentive Awards

LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE AWARDS

Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee considers stock ownership by management through stock-based compensation arrangements beneficial in aligning management’s and stockholders’ interests. Under the provisions of our 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), our CompensationHuman Capital Committee has the ability to grant stock and stock-based awards, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”)RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”)PSUs to our employees, including our Named Executive Officers, non-employee directors and consultants.

Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee grants long-term incentive awards to our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, in line with competitive market norms based upon each officer’s performance in a fiscal year. These awards are primarily designed to tie a substantial portion of each executive officer’s compensation to longer-term future performance of the Company and to support the compensation philosophy adopted by our CompensationHuman Capital Committee. The grant determinations are made by our CompensationHuman Capital Committee using, as a reference, the relevant competitive market information and recommendations provided to our CompensationHuman Capital Committee by Pay Governance, in order to provide an appropriate level of target total direct compensation compared to compensation of executive officers in our compensation peer group. Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee sets the individual grant values to reflect (a) the level of responsibility and individual contribution of each executive officer and their potential impact on the long-term success of the business, (b) a desire to maintain or set, as applicable, a market-competitive compensation package for each officer, and (c) talent retention considerations, as appropriate.

To determine long-term incentive awards granted in a year, our CompensationHuman Capital Committee first approves a target aggregate grant date fair value to be awarded to each Named Executive Officer. The target aggregate grant date fair value is then allocated among the types of awards granted for such year.

As Mr. Stacherski was appointed

In 2022, Mr. Hostetler and Mr. Collins each received new hire stock grants to induce them to join the Company and to, Chief Operations Officers effective in part, mitigate the economic impact with respect to the forfeiture of outstanding awards when they terminated their prior employment. Effective April 18, 2022, the grant date fair value of Mr. Hostetler’s new hire grant was approximately $3,200,000, 60% of which was in the form of PSUs and 40% of which was in the form of RSUs. Effective August 1, 2022, the grant date fair value of Mr. Collins’s new hire grant was approximately $480,000, 50% of which was in the form of PSUs and 50% of which was in the form of RSUs. In both cases, the PSUs are subject to cliff vesting after a three-year performance period (fiscal years 2022 to 2024) and contingent upon the achievement of certain Company performance criteria determined by the Board or the Human Capital Committee thereof and set forth in the award agreement evidencing the PSUs, and the Fourth Quarter of 2021, it was determined to issue his 2021 target annual stock grant wholly in RSUs. Effective 2022, Mr. Stacherski’s annual stock grants will be allocated in accordance with the long-term incentive mix our Compensation Committee approves for our senior executive team for the year.

RSUs
are subject to vesting in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, in each case subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. These PSUs and RSUs are subject to the 2020 Plan and the terms of the award agreements evidencing such awards. See the subsection entitled “PSUs” below for further information regarding the performance criteria underlying the PSUs. Additionally, Mr. Collins received an additional RSU grant on the same date, August 1, 2022, with a grant date fair value of approximately $180,000 made completely in the form of RSUs, which vested 100% on March 15, 2023, subject to his continued employment with the Company through said vesting date, to align with the vesting schedule of certain awards forfeited when he terminated his prior employment.

RSUs

The RSUs granted to our Named Executive Officers in 20212022 other than the additional RSU grant to Mr. Collins described above, vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, generally subject to the Named Executive Officer’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

In 2021, Messrs. Hottinger and Stacherski also received new hire RSU grants to induce them to join the Company and to, in part, mitigate the economic impact with respect to the forfeiture of outstanding awards when they terminated their prior employment. Their new hire RSUs also vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, generally subject to their continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

All outstanding and unvested restricted stock unitsRSUs will vest upon a qualifying termination in connection with change in control (as defined in the 2020 Plan) or in the event that the officer’s employment is terminated due to his death or disability.

PSUs

The PSUs granted to our Named Executive Officers in 20212022 vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the achievement of corporate financial results and relative market performance over the 2021-20232022-2024 performance period, and generally subject to the Named Executive Officer’s continued employment through the vesting date. Specifically, the PSUs granted in 20212022 vest 50% based on the achievement of 3-yearthree-year average annual revenue growth and 50% based on the achievement of 3-yearthree-year cumulative adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) as follows:

At the end of the performance period, after calculating the degree to which the above performance requirementsmetrics were achieved, we then will evaluate our total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index over the 2021-20232022-2024 performance period (“RTSR Modifier”). If our TSR is at or above the 75thpercentile of the Index, the RTSR Modifier will be 125%, and if our TSR is at or below the 25thpercentile of the Index, the RTSR Modifier will be 75%.

TABLE OF CONTENTSSEVERANCE AGREEMENTS

Severance Agreements

We provide certain severance benefits to our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, in order to attract and retain key talent, and minimize turnover of our executive team. We also believe the provision of these benefits serves the interests of our stockholders by encouraging certain valued employees to remain employed with the Company in the event of a change ofin control. Our Named Executive Officers’ offer letters havehad historically provided severance benefits upon a termination by us for any reason other than for “cause” or upon a resignation by the executive for “good reason,” each as defined in the applicable offer letter, subject to the execution and deliverycertain qualifying terminations of a fully effective release of claims in favor of the Company and continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants.

The letters also provide “double trigger” change of control benefits for our executive officers, designed to be competitive to those provided by companies in our compensation peer group.employment. On December 28, 2021, our CompensationHuman Capital Committee approved an amendmentthe Severance Policy, which now governs severance payable to select severance terms to better align our severance benefits with the prevailing market, determined based on peer group data.
For more information regardingexecutive officers, including each of our severance and change of control arrangements, including the changes approved by the Compensation Committee in 2021, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control.Named Executive Officers, under various termination scenarios. Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee believes the provision of suchseverance and change ofin control benefits under the Severance Policy is competitive and appropriate in light of our compensation peer group.

For more information regarding the Severance Policy as well as the benefits Mr. Fusaro received in connection with his termination of employment, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.

The CompensationHuman Capital Committee takes into account severance benefits, including post-change in control severance benefits, payable to Mr. Fusaro and the other Named Executive Officers, in reviewing overall compensation packages of our Named Executive Officers.

Mr. Hostetler Offer Letter
On April 3, 2022, the Company and Kevin Hostetler entered executed an Employment Offer Letter (the “Offer Letter”). Under the terms of the Offer Letter, Mr. Hostetler will receive (i) an initial annual base salary of $850,000, (ii) an annual incentive bonus at a target level of 125% of his base salary, based on the achievement of the Company’s corporate objectives and Mr. Hostetler’s individual objectives, in each case, as established by the Board or the Compensation Committee, (iii) a one-time sign-on bonus of $1,000,000, payable on Mr. Hostetler’s first regularly scheduled payroll, subject to applicable withholdings and certain time-based repayment requirements in the event Mr. Hostetler’s employment is terminated for cause or Mr. Hostetler resigns without good reason (each as defined below), and (iv) a one-time relocation bonus of $200,000 to assist with certain relocation expenses, payable with Mr. Hostetler’s first regularly scheduled payroll, subject to applicable withholdings and subject to certain time-based repayment requirements in the event Mr. Hostetler’s employment is terminated for cause or Mr. Hostetler resigns without good reason.
Mr. Hostetler will also be eligible to receive an annual grant under the LTIP, in the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee. Subject to applicable approvals, Mr. Hostetler will receive an initial equity grant under the LTIP upon the commencement of his employment, with an approximate value of $3,200,000, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date preceding the announcement of Mr. Hostetler’s appointment (the “Initial Equity Grant”). Sixty percent of the Initial Equity Grant will be in the form of PSUs subject to vesting over a three-year performance period contingent upon the achievement of certain Company performance criteria determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee and set forth in the LTIP, and forty percent of the Initial Equity Grant will be in the form of RSUs vesting in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, in each case subject to Mr. Hostetler’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.
Under the Offer Letter, Mr. Hostetler would be entitled to severance upon the termination of his employment in certain circumstances pursuant to the Company’s written executive severance and change in control plan (the “Severance Policy”). Pursuant to our Severance Policy, upon a termination of employment without cause, Mr. Hostetler’s resignation with good reason or a termination by mutual agreement that qualifies as an involuntary termination, and subject to Mr. Hostetler’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and Mr. Hostetler’s compliance with his existing restrictive covenants, Mr. Hostetler is entitled to (i) 150% of the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus opportunity and (ii) subject to his timely election of COBRA coverage, payment of the Company’s portion of monthly COBRA premiums for 18 months (or, if earlier, until he becomes eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s health plan). In addition, If Mr. Hostetler is terminated in connection with or within 12 months following a

change in control of the Company, he is instead entitled to (i) 200% of the sum of his annual base salary and target annual bonus opportunity and (ii) subject to his timely election of COBRA coverage, payment of the Company’s portion of monthly COBRA premiums for 24 months (or, if earlier, until he becomes eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s health plan). Additionally, upon Mr. Hostetler’s qualifying termination, whether or not in connection with a change in control of the Company, all outstanding RSUs would continue to vest over the severance period as if Mr. Hostetler had remained employed through each subsequent vesting date and all outstanding PSUs for which the performance period has not been completed will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual achievement of the performance metrics through the applicable performance period, pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which Mr. Hostetler was employed by the Company.
Perquisites and Benefits

Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans on the same terms as other employees. The Company’s 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) is a safe harbor qualified defined contribution plan which allows employees, including Named Executive Officers, to save for retirement through a tax-advantaged combination of employee and Company contributions. Under the terms of the Retirement Plan, the Company matches up to 100% of the first 3% of eligible compensation contributed by the employee plus 50% of eligible compensation contributed between 3% and 5%. The Company may also make a discretionary profit-sharing contribution to the Retirement Plan but has not made any such contributions to date.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer on April 18, 2022, Mr. Hostetler received a one-time cash payment of $200,000 to assist with relocation expenses. Similarly, Mr. Collins received a one-time cash payment of $100,000 to assist with relocation expenses in connection with his appointment as Chief Human Resources Officer on August 1, 2022. In each case, the relocation payment must be repaid to the Company in full if the recipient is either terminated for Cause or resigns without Good Reason (i) in the case of Mr. Hostetler, within 24 months of the date of his appointment as Chief Executive Officer or (ii) in the case of Mr. Collins, within 12 months of the date of his appointment as Chief Human Resources Officer.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

Our Stock Ownership Guidelines are designed to assist in aligning the financial interests of the directors and senior employees with our stockholders and to promote sound corporate governance practices. Our Stock Ownership Guidelines apply to non-executive directors who receive compensation for their service on the Board and executive officers. Common stock underlying RSUs and deferred shares or share units held by directors and executive officers is considered owned for purposes of determining stock ownership levels under the Stock Ownership Guidelines. Common stock underlying unexercised stock options and unearned PSUs held by directors and executive officers is not considered owned for purposes of determining stock ownership levels under the Stock Ownership Guidelines.

Executive officers and directors subject to this policy are required to achieve a minimum ownership requirement by five years from the later of (i) June 8, 2021 (or, in the case of non-executive directors, as of the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders), or (ii) the date the individual becomes a director or executive officer, as applicable, is promoted to a position that causes the covered


ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES2023 PROXY STATEMENT31

individual to be subject to a greater ownership requirement or is otherwise designated as a covered individual. Upon achieving his or her respective minimum ownership requirement, each covered individual must continue to maintain the minimum ownership requirement at all times during a given calendar year and for so long as the covered individual remains subject to this policy.

Each director and covered employee must maintain ownership of shares of common stock with a fair market price equal to a multiple of the director’s base annual retainer or the covered employee’s annual base salary, as follows:

for non-executive directors who receive compensation, three times the base annual retainer;
for our Chief Executive Officer, six times his or her annual base salary; and
for executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, three times his or her annual base salary.

for non-executive directors who receive compensation, three (3) times the base annual retainer;
for our Chief Executive Officer, six (6) times his or her annual base salary; and
for executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, three (3) times his or her annual base salary.

The failure by a director or covered employee to meet or to demonstrate sustained progress toward the achievement of the applicable minimum ownership requirement will result in the imposition of a restriction on sales of common stock and a requirement that they retain 50% of the net number of shares acquired upon vesting or settlement of equity awards or exercise of stock options until compliance with the ownership guidelineStock Ownership Guidelines is attained.

Our CompensationHuman Capital Committee, Audit Committee and Board employ a risk management process conducted periodically to ensure that potential risks that might arise from any of our executive compensation practices and policies do not result in potential adverse impact on the Company, financially or otherwise. Our Compensation

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Human Capital Committee, with the assistance of Pay Governance, has reviewed the policies and guidelines underlying our executive compensation determinations and concluded that the following factors promote the creation of long-term value and thereby discourage behavior that leads to excessive or unnecessary risk:
individual cash incentives are made within the boundaries of approved fixed maximum awards as applicable to each executive officer;
the performance metrics under our short-term incentive program are distinct and separate from the metrics under our long-term incentive program, thereby ensuring there is no duplicative compensation opportunity for attainment of the same performance metric;
the members of our Compensation Committee who approve final bonus recommendations are independent;
Executive officers receive the majority of their total direct compensation in the form of long-term incentives with multi-year vesting to align the interests of our executive officers with long term value creation for our stockholders; and
Executive officers are subject to robust stock ownership guidelines, further ensuring their long-term wealth is tied to long-term Company performance.

We have estimated that the total annual compensation of our median employee (other than our CEO) was $39,836;$58,800; and
The total annual compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, was $4,271,575.$6,021,990.

Based on this information, for 2021,2022, the ratio of the total annual compensation for Mr. Fusaro,Hostetler, our CEO, to the total annual compensation of our median employee was 10785 to 1.

To determine this ratio, we first prepared a list of all our full-time, part-time and temporary employees as of December 31, 2021,2022, the last day of our fiscal year. To identify the median employee from our employee population, we reviewed the amount of regular wages, and overtime pay, and incentives for of all of our employees for 2021.

2022.

Once we identified the median employee, we then determined the total annual compensation for 20212022 of that employee using the same rules that apply to reporting compensation for our Named Executive Officers in the 20212022 Summary Compensation Table.

The pay ratio disclosure rules allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As a result, 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 in calculating their own pay ratios.

PAY-VERSUS-PERFORMANCE

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our Compensation Committee approved an amended Severance Policy that governs severance payable tofinancial performance for each of the last three completed calendar years for our principal executive officers, including each ofofficer (“PEO”) and our Named Executive Officers other than our PEO (“Non-PEO NEOs”). In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our Non-PEO NEOs, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table. The table below summarizes compensation values both previously reported in our Summary Compensation Table, as well as the adjusted values required in this section for the 2020, 2021 and 2022 calendar years. Note that for our Non-PEO NEOs, compensation is reported as an average.

●    In 2022, the Non-PEO NEOs were Messrs. Patel, Collins, Hottinger, and Rose.

●    In 2021, the Non-PEO NEOs were Messrs. Patel, Hottinger, Jeffery Krantz and Ken Stacherski.

●    In 2020, the Non-PEO NEOs were Mr. Krantz and Ms. Charlotte MacVane.

Relationship between Compensation Actually Paid and Performance Measures

From 2020 to 2021, both Array’s net income and revenue dropped by roughly $109 million and $19 million, respectively. Total shareholder return fell 69%. Over this same period Mr. Fusaro’s summary compensation total and compensation actually paid increased, 37% and 21% respectively. Following Mr. Hostetler’s arrival in early 2022, the Company’s net income rose $43.6 million, and revenue increased $781 million. In turn, total shareholder return increased over 200%. The changes in pay for non-CEO NEOs are primarily due to the departure of previous NEOs and their subsequent replacement.

Array’s compensation philosophy ties executive compensation and company performance through each pay element. Compensation actually paid to our NEOs was significantly reduced in 2021, due to the loss of value in both outstanding equity awards granted but not vested, as well as vested equity awards. Further, no short-term cash incentive was paid to any NEO for performance in the 2021 fiscal year. While shareholder return is directly tied to Array’s long-term incentive awards, individual performance is a strong determining factor for base salary actions and short-term cash incentives reflect collective team performance, as stated above.

The chart below shows the correlation between total shareholder return and compensation actually paid for NEOs at Array. There is a clear and immediate relationship between the financial performance of the business and the pay for executive leaders.

Financial Performance Measures

The performance metrics listed below represent the most important metrics we use to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs for 2022 to the Company’s performance:

Revenue (our Company Selected Measure under Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K)
EBITDA
Cash Conversion Cycle

As further described in the Company’s Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 21 of this proxy statement, achievement of EBITDA performance goals are weighted 50% under various termination scenarios. our annual bonus plan or LIP.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

Our Severance Policy provides for severance payments and benefits in the event of a termination by the Company without Cause, a termination by mutual agreement of the executive and the Company that is deemed by the CompensationHuman Capital Committee to qualify as an involuntary termination or a resignation by the executive for Good Reason (a “qualifying termination”), both in connection with and outside the context of a change in control (“CIC”). The severance entitlements under the Severance Policy in connection with a CIC are subject to a double trigger that requires a termination of employment in order for severance to become payable.


ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES2023 PROXY STATEMENT38

In the event of a qualifying termination other than in connection with, or within 12 months following a CIC, the Severance Policy provides the following cash severance:

In the case of our Chief Executive Officer, 150% of the sum of his or her (i) annual base salary and (ii) target bonus opportunity; and
In the case of all other executives, 100% of the sum of their annual base salary.

In the case of our Chief Executive Officer, 150% of the sum of his or her (i) annual base salary and (ii) target bonus opportunity; and 
In the case of all other executives, 100% of the sum of their annual base salary.

Additionally, subject to his or her timely election of COBRA coverage, the executive would be entitled to payment of the Company’s portion of monthly COBRA premiums for a specified severance period (18 months for our Chief Executive Officer and 12 months for all other executives) or until the executive becomes eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s health plan. Upon the executive’s qualifying termination, all outstanding RSUs would continue to vest over the specified severance period as if the executive had remained employed through each subsequent vesting date and all outstanding PSUs for which the performance period has not been completed will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual achievement of the performance metrics through the applicable performance period, pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which the executive was employed by the Company.

In the event of a qualifying termination that occurs upon or within 12 months after a CIC, the Severance Policy provides cash severance to each executive of 200% of the sum of the executive’s (i) annual base salary and (ii) target bonus opportunity.

Additionally, subject to his or her timely election of COBRA coverage, the executive would be entitled to payment of the Company’s portion of monthly COBRA premiums for a specified severance period (2424 months for each executive) or until the executive becomes eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s health

Upon the executive’s qualifying termination, all outstanding RSUs would continue to vest over the specified severance period as if the executive had remained employed through each subsequent vesting date and all outstanding PSUs for which the performance period has not been completed will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual achievement of the performance metrics through the applicable performance period, pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which the executive was employed by the Company.

“Good Reason” is defined as (i) a material reduction in the executive’s annual base salary without the executive’s consent, (ii) a relocation of the executive’s principal place of employment, without his or her consent, to a location more than 50 miles from his or her then-current principal place of employment, or (iii) an adverse change in the executive’s position or title without his or her consent; provided, that, in any case, (x) written notice of the executive’s resignation for Good Reason must be delivered to the Company within 30 days after the occurrence of any such event in order for his or her resignation for Good Reason to be effective hereunder, (y) the Company shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice during which the Company may remedy the occurrence giving rise to the claim for Good Reason termination (if such occurrence is capable of being remedied), and, if the Company cures such occurrence within such 30-day period, there shall be no Good Reason, and (z) the executive must actually resign within 90 days following the event constituting Good Reason.


ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES2023 PROXY STATEMENT39

Separately, pursuant to the terms of the equity award agreements between us and the Named Executive Officers,, in the event of a termination of the executive’s employment by reason of death or disability, all outstanding RSUs would immediately vest in full and all outstanding PSUs would be deemed to be earned at target and pro-rated to reflect the portion of the performance period during which the executive was employed by the Company.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” or incorporated by reference in future filings with the SEC, or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of Array for the year ended December 31, 20212022 and has discussed these statements with management and BDO USA, LLP, or BDO, the Company’s previous independent registered public accounting firm and Deloitte & Touche LLP, or Deloitte, the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm. Array management is responsible for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and for maintaining an adequate system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. The independent registered public accounting firm audits the annual consolidated financial statements prepared by management, expresses an opinion as to whether those consolidated financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Array in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and discusses any issues they believe should be raised with us. The Audit Committee is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions and internal controls, and its review included a discussion of the quality and acceptability of the Company’s financial reporting and internal controls.

The Audit Committee also received from, and discussed with, BDO and Deloitte the written disclosures and other communications that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed under the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB.

BDO and Deloitte also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the PCAOB regarding independence. PCAOB rules require independent registered public accounting firms annually to disclose in writing all relationships that in their professional opinion may reasonably be thought to bear on independence, to confirm their perceived independence and engage in a discussion of independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed this disclosure and has discussed with BDO and Deloitte their respective independence from Array.

Based on its discussions with management and our independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Array Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.SEC.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following is a summary of transactions to which we are a party in which the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements with directors and executive officers, which are described under “Executive Compensation” and “Director Compensation.” For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2021,2022, the Company recognized $0.8 million, $4.8 million, $13.8 million and $13.8$15.0 million, respectively, in equity-based compensation.

History of Array Technologies, Inc. and Partnership with Oaktree
Ron Corio founded the business of the Company in 1989. On July 8, 2016, Oaktree, through ATI Investment Parent, LLC (“ATI Investment”), our former parent company, purchased a majority of the ownership of Array Tech, Inc. with Ron Corio and the other selling stockholders rolling over a portion of their ownership into ATI Investment. Although Ron Corio is no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company, he is a member of our Board.
Tax Receivable Agreement

TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT

Concurrent with ATI Investment’s acquisition of Array Technologies Patent Holdings Co., LLC, Array Tech, Inc. (f/k/a Array Technologies, Inc.) entered into a Taxes Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with the former majority shareholder of Array. The TRA is valued based on the future expected payments under the agreement. The TRA provides for the payment by Array Tech, Inc. to the former owner for certain federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax benefits deemed realized in post-closing taxable periods by Array, from the use of certain deductions generated by the increase in the tax value of the developed technology. The TRA is accounted for as contingent consideration and subsequent changes in fair value of the contingent liability are recognized in contingent consideration in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2021,2022, December 31, 2020,2021, and December 2019,2020, the fair value of the TRA was $8.6 million, $14.6 million and $19.7 million and $17.8 respectively.

Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the TRA is by nature imprecise. The significant fair value inputs used to estimate the future expected TRA payments to the former owners include the timing of tax payments, a discount rate, book income projections, timing of expected adjustments to calculate taxable income and the projected rate of use for attributes defined in the TRA.

Payments made under the TRA consider tax positions taken by the Company and are due within 125 days following the filing of the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns under procedures described in the agreement. The current portion of the TRA liability is based on tax returns. The TRA will continue until all tax benefit payments have been made or the Company elects early termination under the terms described in the TRA.

As of December 31, 2021,2022, the undiscounted future expected payments through December 31, under the TRA are as follows (in thousands):

Abstentions will have no effect on the results of this vote.

The Audit Committee annually reviews the independent registered public accounting firm'sfirm’s independence, including reviewing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and us and any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, and the independent registered public accounting firm’s performance. Although ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of BDODeloitte to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. To assure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of our independent external audit firm. In addition, in conjunction with the mandated rotation of BDO’sDeloitte’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee is directly involved with the selection of BDO’sDeloitte’s new lead engagement partner. The Audit Committee believes that the continued retentionengagement of BDODeloitte to serve as our independent external auditor is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

BDO served as the independent registered accounting firm for the Company through March 2023. After careful consideration of the ongoing audit needs of the Company, on March 28, 2023, the Audit Committee chose not to renew the engagement of BDO and approved the engagement of Deloitte. The Company notified BDO on March 28, 2023 that it would be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. The decision to change independent registered public accounting firms was recommended and approved by the Audit Committee. BDO’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 2021 and the subsequent interim period through March 28, 2023, did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles and includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the adoption of new accounting standards.

PROPOSAL NO. 3—APPROVAL OF THE ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
At

Our Board recognizes the Annual Meeting, shareholders are being asked to approveinterest that the Array Technologies, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was approved by the Board on December 1, 2021, subject to shareholder approval. The material features of the ESPP are summarized below.

The purpose of the ESPP is to enable eligible employees of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to use payroll deductions to purchase shares of our common stock and thereby acquire an ownership interestCompany’s stockholders have in the Company. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
As of March 31, 2022, 19,081,046 shares of our Common Stock were available for future issuance or subject to outstanding awards under our 2020 Plan, which represents 12.7% of our common stock outstanding on such date. The maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be purchased under the ESPP will be 3,500,000 (the “Share Pool”), subject to adjustment as provided for in the ESPP, which represents 2.3% of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022. In establishing the Share Pool, our Board considered the potential dilutive impact to stockholders, the estimated projected participation rate over the ten-year term of the plan, equity plan guidelines established by certain proxy advisory firms and advice provided by Pay Governance, the compensation consultant to the Compensation Committee. For information about options and restricted stock units outstanding under our existing equity plans and the number of shares available for issuance under these plans, each as of December 31, 2021, please see “Equity Compensation Plans” elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.
The full text of the ESPP is set forth in Annex A to this Proxy Statement. The following description of certain features of the ESPP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ESPP.
Summary of the ESPP
Administration. The ESPP will be administered by the Compensation Committee (except that the Board may at any time act in the capacity of administrator), which will have the authority to interpret and determine eligibility under the plan, prescribe forms, rules and procedures relating to the plan, and otherwise do all things necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of the plan. The Compensation Committee (or the Board, as applicable) may delegate its authority under the ESPP to one or more of its members (or one or more members of our Board) such of its duties, powers, and responsibilities as it may determine and to employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems appropriate. As used in this summary, the term “administrator” refers to the Compensation Committee, our Board or any authorized delegates, as applicable.
Shares Subject to the ESPP. As noted above, the Share Pool consists of 3,500,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment, as described below. Shares delivered upon exercise of options under the ESPP may be either shares of authorized but unissued common stock, treasury stock, or previously issued common stock acquired by the Company. In the event of any change in our outstanding common stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization or other change in the Company’s capital structure, the administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the aggregate number and type of shares available for purchase under the ESPP, the number and type of shares granted under any outstanding options, the maximum number and type of shares purchasable under any outstanding option, and/or the purchase price per share under an outstanding option.
Shares will not be treated as delivered, and will not reduce the number of shares in the aggregate unless and until, and to the extent, they are actually delivered to a participant. If any option granted under the ESPP expires or terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full or ceases for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, the unpurchased shares of common stock subject to such option will not reduce the Share Pool and will remain available for purchase under the ESPP. On March 31, 2022, the closing price of a share of our common stock was $11.27.
Eligibility. Participation in the ESPP will be limited to employees of the Company or a designated subsidiary (i) who have been continuously employed for a period of at least 14 days as of the first day of the option period, (ii) whose customary employment is for more than five months per calendar year, (iii) who
48

TABLE OF CONTENTS

customarily work 20 hours or more per week, and (iv) who satisfy the other requirements set forth in the ESPP. Under the ESPP, designated subsidiaries include any subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Company that has been designated by our Board or the Compensation Committee as eligible to participate in the ESPP.
No employee may be granted an option under the ESPP if, immediately after the option is granted, the employee would own (or, pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, would be deemed to own) shares possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The administrator may establish additional eligibility requirements for option periods that have not yet commenced that are not inconsistent with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.
As of March 31, 2022, approximately 473 employees would be eligible to participate in the ESPP, including all of our executive officers.
General Terms of Participation.
Option Periods. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock during certain option periods. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, option periods under the ESPP will be successive periods of approximately six months commencing on the first business day in January and July of each year and ending on the last business day in June or December, as applicable. The last business day of each option period will be an “Exercise Date.” The administrator may change the Exercise Date, the commencement date and the duration of the option periods to the extent permitted by Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that no option may be exercised after 27 months from its grant date. If the ESPP is approved at the Annual Meeting, the first option period, which commenced under the ESPP on January 1, 2022, will end on June 30, 2022. Should stockholders not approve the ESPP at the Annual Meeting, the current open option period will immediately terminate, and no shares will be issued under the Plan.
Method of Participation. Shares will be purchased under the ESPP on the Exercise Date using accumulated payroll deductions, unless the administrator provides otherwise with respect to the employees of a designated subsidiary in a manner consistent with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to participate in the ESPP, an eligible employee must execute and deliver to the administrator of the ESPP an election form in accordance with procedures and prior to the deadlines prescribed by the administrator of the ESPP. Participation will be effective as of the first day of an option period.
Each election form will authorize payroll deductions between 1% and 15% of the participant’s eligible compensation per payroll period. For purposes of the ESPP, eligible compensation includes regular base salary and regular base wages. A participant’s election form will remain in effect for subsequent option periods unless the participant files a new election form within the time specified by the administrator prior to the start of the subsequent option period or the participant’s option is cancelled in accordance with the ESPP. During an option period, elections and rates of contribution may not be increased or decreased. A participant may terminate his or her participation in the ESPP during an option period by canceling his or her option in accordance with the ESPP. A participant who reduces his or her rate of payroll deductions for future payroll periods to zero percent in accordance with the ESPP will be deemed to have terminated his or her participation in the ESPP as to all current and future option periods unless and until a new election form has been delivered for a subsequent option period. Upon such termination or cancellation, any amount withheld from a participant’s compensation will be returned to the participant, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable.
Grant and Exercise of Options. Subject to the limitations set forth in the ESPP, on the first day of each option period, each participant will automatically be granted a right to purchase shares of our common stock on the last day of the option period. On the last day of each option period, each participant will be deemed to have exercised his or her option, and the accumulated payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account will be applied to purchase the greatest number of whole shares of our common stock that can be purchased with such account balance at the applicable purchase price. No participant may purchase more than 2,500 shares of our common stock (or such lesser number as the administrator of the ESPP may prescribe) on any Exercise Date. In addition, no participant will be granted an option

under the ESPP that would permit the participant’s right to purchase shares of our common stock under the ESPP to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 in fair market value for each calendar year, determined in accordance with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Purchase Price. The purchase price per share of our common stock applicable to purchases during each option period under the ESPP will be eighty-five percent (85%) (or such greater percentage as the administrator of the ESPP may designate) of the lesser of (i) the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date on which the option was granted or (ii) the fair market value per share of our common stock on the Exercise Date.
Transferability. Options granted to participants under the ESPP are not assignable or transferable and may be exercised only by the participant during his or her lifetime. For participants who have purchased shares under the ESPP, the administrator may impose restrictions prohibiting the transfer, sale, pledge or alienation of such shares, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, for such period as may be determined by the administrator.
Amendment and Termination of the ESPP. The administrator has the discretion to amend the ESPP to any extent and in any manner it may deem advisable, provided that any amendment that would be treated as the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code will require stockholder approval.
The administrator also has the right at any time to suspend or terminate the ESPP. In connection with such a termination or suspension, the administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, either that the outstanding option s will be exercisable on the Exercise Date for the applicable option period (or such earlier date as the administrator may specify), or that each participant’s accumulated payroll deductions will be returned to the participant without interest.
Sub-Plans. Consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, the administrator may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of the ESPP, or an offering, or provide for separate offerings under the ESPP to, among other things, reflect the impact of local law outside of the United States as applied to one or more eligible employees of a designated subsidiary and may, where appropriate, establish one or more sub-plans to reflect such amended provisions.
Effective Date and Term. The ESPP is effective as of the date our Board adopted the ESPP, subject to approval by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. No option s will be granted under the ESPP after the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the ESPP by the administrator and (ii) the issuance of all shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP.
Corporate Transactions. In the event of certain corporate transactions (including a consolidation, merger or similar transaction, a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, a dissolution or liquidationNamed Executive Officers. In recognition of the Company, or such other corporate transaction as is determined by the administrator), the administrator may,that interest and in its discretion, provide that each outstanding option will be assumed or exchanged for a substitute option granted by the acquiror or successor corporation or by a parent or subsidiary of such entity, or will be cancelled with accumulated payroll deductions returned to each participant, or that the option period will end on or before the date of the proposed sale, merger or similar transaction (in which case, the date on which the option period terminates will be treated as the Exercise Date for such option period).
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Relating to the ESPP
The following is a summary of certain material federal income tax consequences associated with the grant and exercise of options under the ESPP under current federal tax laws. The summary does not address tax rates or non-U.S., state or local tax consequences, nor does it address employment tax or other federal tax consequences except as noted.
The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, an employee will not recognize U.S. taxable income until the sale or other disposition of the shares of our common stock purchased under the ESPP (“ESPP Shares”). Upon such sale or disposition, the employee will generally be subject to tax in an amount that depends on the employee’s holding period with respect to the ESPP Shares.
50

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the ESPP Shares are sold or disposed of more than one year from the date of purchase and more than two years after the first day of the option period in which they were purchased, or upon the employee’s death while owning the ESPP Shares, the employee will recognize ordinary income in an amount generally equal to the lesser of: (i) an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the ESPP Shares on the date of commencement of the option period over the purchase price paid for the ESPP Shares, and (ii) the excess of the sale price of the ESPP Shares over such purchase price. Any additional gain will be treated as long-term capital gain. If the ESPP Shares held for the periods described above are sold and the sale price is less than the purchase price, then the employee will recognize a long-term capital loss in an amount equal to the excess of the purchase price over the sale price of the ESPP Shares.
If the ESPP Shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of the holding periods described above, other than following the employee’s death while owning the ESPP Shares, the employee generally will recognize as ordinary income an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the ESPP Shares on the date the ESPP Shares were purchased over the purchase price paid for the ESPP Shares. Any additional gain or loss on such sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the employee’s holding period with respect to the ESPP Shares.
We are not entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed as ordinary income or capital gain to an employee except to the extent of ordinary income recognized upon a sale or disposition of ESPP Shares prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above.
New Plan Benefits
Because awards to employees under the ESPP are based on voluntary contributions in amounts determined by the participant, the benefits and amounts that will be received or allocated under the ESPP are not determinable at this time. Future purchase prices are not determinable because they are based upon the fair market value of shares of our common stock at the beginning and end of each applicable option period.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF SUCH RATIFICATION UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER HAS INDICATED OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES2023 PROXY STATEMENT52

Proposal No. 4—Approval of an Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to Allow Exculpation of Officers to the Extent Permitted by Delaware Law

At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will be asked to approve an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to provide for exculpation of liability for officers of the Company for certain breaches of fiduciary duties, similar to the protections currently available for directors of the Company, as permitted by Delaware law. A copy of the proposed Charter Amendment is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

The proposed Charter Amendment would amend Article VII of the Charter to read in its entirety as follows:

“A. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, directors and officers (as defined in Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL) of the Corporation shall have no personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Corporation or its stockholders.

B. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any modification of law shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of a current or former director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.”

Effective August 1, 2022, the State of Delaware adopted amendments to Section 102(b)(7) (the “Section 102(b)(7) Amendments”) of the DGCL to allow Delaware corporations to exculpate their officers from personal liability from monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer. Prior to the Section 102(b)(7) Amendments, Delaware law permitted Delaware corporations to exculpate directors from personal liability for monetary damages associated with breaches of the duty of care, but that protection did not extend to a Delaware corporation’s officers. Consequently, stockholder plaintiffs have employed a tactic of bringing certain claims that would otherwise be exculpated if brought against directors, against individual officers to avoid dismissal of such claims. The Section 102(b)(7) Amendments were adopted to address inconsistent treatment between officers and directors and address rising litigation and insurance costs for stockholders. Our Board desires to amend the Charter to maintain provisions consistent with the Section 102(b)(7) Amendments and believes the Charter Amendment, by adding the authorized liability protection for certain officers, consistent with the protection currently afforded to our directors in the Charter, is necessary in order to continue to attract and retain experienced and qualified officers. The Charter Amendment would allow for the exculpation of certain officers only in connection with direct claims brought by stockholders, including class actions, but would not eliminate officers’ monetary liability for breach of fiduciary duty claims brought

The board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Charter Amendment.


ARRAY TECHNOLOGIES2023 PROXY STATEMENT53

by the Company itself or for derivative claims brought by stockholders in the name of the Company. As is currently the case with directors under our Charter, the Charter Amendment would not limit the liability of officers for: any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, and any transaction from which the officer derived an improper personal benefit.

If the Charter Amendment is approved by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, it will become effective upon the option receivingfiling of the greatest numberCharter Amendment with the Secretary of votes willState of the State of Delaware. In accordance with the DGCL, however, our Board may elect to abandon the Charter Amendment without further action by the stockholders at any time prior to the effectiveness of the filing of the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment.

On March 23, 2023, our Board authorized and approved the Charter Amendment and directed that the Charter Amendment be considered the frequency recommended by the Company’s stockholders.

We will hold our first “say-on-pay” vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting. AUnder the DGCL, we are required to obtain the affirmative vote onof the frequencyholders of holdinga supermajority of our outstanding shares of common stock in order to approve the “say-on-pay” vote will occur at least once every six years.

2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
1.
DEFINED TERMS
Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, defines the terms used in the Plan and sets forth certain operational rules related to those terms.
2.
PURPOSE
The Plan is intended to enable Eligible Employees to use payroll deductions to purchase shares of Stock, and thereby acquire an interest in the Company. The Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 and to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and is to be construed consistently with that intent.
3.
ADMINISTRATION
The Plan will be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator has discretionary authority, subject only to the express provisions of the Plan, to interpret the Plan; to determine eligibility under the Plan; to prescribe forms, rules and procedures relating to the Plan; and to otherwise do all things necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of the Plan. Determinations of the Administrator made with respect to the Plan are conclusive and bind all persons.
4.
SHARE POOL
(a) Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 17 below, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock available for purchase pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the Plan will be 3,500,000 shares (the “Share Pool”). For purposes of this Section 4(a), shares of Stock shall not be treated as delivered under the Plan, and will not reduce the Share Pool, unless and until, and to the extent, they are actually delivered to a Participant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Option granted under the Plan expires or terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full or ceases for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, the unpurchased shares of Stock subject to such Option will not reduce the Share Pool and will remain available for purchase under the Plan. If, on an Exercise Date, the total number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be purchased upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan exceeds the number of shares then available in the Share Pool, the Administrator shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares then available in as uniform a manner as is practicable and as it determines to be equitable. In such event, the Administrator shall notify each Participant affected by such reduction.
(b) Type of Shares. Stock delivered by the Company under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Stock, treasury Stock or previously issued Stock acquired by the Company. No fractional shares of Stock will be delivered under the Plan.
5.
ELIGIBILITY
(a) Eligibility Requirements. Subject to the limitations contained in the Plan, each Employee (i) who has been continuously employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, as applicable, for a period of at least fourteen (14) days as of the first day of an Option Period, (ii) whose customary Employment with the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, as applicable, is for more than five (5) months per calendar year, (iii) who customarily works twenty (20) hours or more per week, and (iv) who satisfies the requirements set forth in the Plan, will be an Eligible Employee.
(b) Five Percent Stockholders. No Employee may be granted an Option under the Plan if, immediately after the Option is granted, the Employee would own (or pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code would be deemed to own) shares possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of its Parent or Subsidiaries, if any.
(c) Additional Requirements. The Administrator may, for Option Periods that have not yet commenced, establish additional or other eligibility requirements, or amend the eligibility requirements set forth in subsection (a) above, in each case, consistent with the requirements of Section 423.

OPTION PERIODS
The Plan will generally be implemented by a series of separate offerings referred to as “Option Periods”. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Option Periods will be successive periods of approximately six (6) months commencing on the first Business Day in January and July of each year, anticipated to be on or around January 1 and July 1, and ending approximately six (6) months later on the last Business Day in June or December, as applicable, of each year, anticipated to be on or around June 30 and December 31. The last Business Day of each Option Period will be an “Exercise Date”. The Administrator may change the Exercise Date, the commencement date, the ending date and the duration of each Option Period, in each case, to the extent permitted by Section 423; provided, however, that no Option may be exercised after 27 months from its grant date.
7.
OPTION GRANTS
Subject to the limitations set forth herein and the Maximum Share Limit (as defined below), on the first day of an Option Period, each Participant will automatically be granted an Option to purchase shares of Stock on the Exercise Date; provided, however, that no Participant will be granted an Option under the Plan that permits the Participant’s right to purchase shares of Stock under the Plan and under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its Parent and Subsidiaries, if any, to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 in Fair Market Value (or such other maximum amount as may be prescribed from time to time by the Code) for each calendar year during which any Option granted to such Participant is outstanding at any time, as determined in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.
8.
PARTICIPATION
(a) Election. To participate in an Option Period, an Eligible Employee must execute and deliver to the Administrator an election form, in accordance with the procedures prescribed by, and in a form acceptable to, the Administrator. Such election form must be delivered not later than fourteen (14) days prior to the first day of an Option Period, or such other time as specified by the Administrator. An Eligible Employee will become a Participant as of the first day of the Option Period for which he or she timely delivered such election form and will remain a Participant with respect to subsequent Option Periods until his or her participation in the Plan is terminated as provided herein.
(b) Election Amount. Each election form will authorize payroll deductions as a whole percentage from one (1) to fifteen (15) percent of the employee’s Eligible Compensation per payroll period, to be deducted from the Eligible Employee’s pay during each payroll period occurring during the applicable Option Period.
(c) Payroll Deduction Account. All payroll deductions made pursuant to this Section 8 will be credited to the Participant’s Account. Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account will not be required to be set aside in trust or otherwise segregated from the Company’s general assets.
(d) Changes to Election for Current Option Period. During an Option Period, elections and rates of contributions may not be increased or decreased. A Participant may terminate his or her participation in the Plan during an Option Period by canceling his or her Option in accordance with Section 14 below.
(e) Changes to Election for Subsequent Option Periods. A Participant’s election form will remain in effect for subsequent Option Periods unless the Participant files a new election form not later than fourteen (14) days prior to the first day of the subsequent Option Period (or such other time as specified by the Administrator) or the Participant’s Option is cancelled in accordance with the Plan.
9.
METHOD OF PAYMENT
A Participant must pay for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option with the accumulated payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s Account.
10.
PURCHASE PRICE
The Purchase Price of shares of Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option on each Exercise Date will be eighty-five percent (85%) (or such other percentage specified by the Administrator to the extent permitted under Section 423) of the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date on which the Option was granted (i.e., the first day of the Option Period) and (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date on which the Option is deemed exercised (i.e., the Exercise Date).

11.
EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
(a) Purchase of Shares. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, with respect to each Option Period, on each Exercise Date, each Participant will be deemed to have exercised his or her Option and the accumulated payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s Account will be applied to purchase the greatest number of shares of Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) that can be purchased with such Account balance at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that no more than 2,500 shares of Stock may be purchased by a Participant on any Exercise Date, or such other number as the Administrator may prescribe in accordance with Section 423 (the “Maximum Share Limit”). As soon as practicable thereafter, the shares of Stock so purchased will be placed, in book-entry form, into a recordkeeping account in the name of the Participant. Any accumulated payroll deductions in a Participant’s Account that are not sufficient to purchase a whole share of Stock will be retained in the Participant’s Account for the subsequent Option Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the Participant as provided in Section 14 below.
(b) Return of Account Balance. Except as provided in Section 11(a) above, any accumulated payroll deductions in a Participant’s Account for an Option Period that are not used to purchase shares of Stock, whether because of the Participant’s withdrawal from participation in an Option Period or for any other reason, will be returned to the Participant (or his or her designated beneficiary or legal representative, as applicable), without interest, as soon as administratively practicable after such withdrawal or other event, as applicable. If the Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions for an Option Period would otherwise enable the Participant to purchase shares of Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Limit or the maximum Fair Market Value set forth in Section 7 above, the excess of the amount of the accumulated payroll deductions over the aggregate Purchase Price of the shares of Stock actually purchased will be returned to the Participant, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable after the applicable Exercise Date.
12.
INTEREST
No interest will accrue or be payable on any amount held in the Account of any Participant.
13.
TAXES
Payroll deductions will be made on an after-tax basis. The Administrator will have the right, as a condition to exercising an Option, to make such provision as it deems necessary to satisfy its obligations to withhold federal, state, local or other taxes incurred by reason of the purchase or disposition of shares of Stock under the Plan. In the Administrator’s discretion and subject to applicable law, such tax obligations may be satisfied in whole or in part by delivery of shares of Stock to the Company, including shares of Stock purchased under the Plan, valued at Fair Market Value, but not in excess of the maximum withholding amount consistent with the award being subject to equity accounting treatment under the Accounting Rules.
14.
CANCELLATION AND WITHDRAWAL
A Participant who holds an Option under the Plan may cancel all (but not less than all) of such Option and terminate his or her participation in the Plan by delivering a notice to the Administrator in accordance with the procedures prescribed by, and in a form acceptable to, the Administrator. To be effective with respect to an upcoming Exercise Date, such notice must be delivered not later than fourteen (14) days prior to such Exercise Date (or such other time as specified by the Administrator). Upon such termination and cancellation, the balance in the Participant’s Account will be returned to the Participant, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, a Participant who reduces his or her rate of payroll deductions for future payroll periods to zero percent (0%) in accordance with Section 8 above will be deemed to have terminated his or her participation in the Plan as to all current and future Option Periods, unless and until the Participant has delivered a new election for a subsequent Option Period in accordance with the rules of Section 8 above.
15.
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
Upon the termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, as applicable, for any reason (including the death of a Participant during an Option Period prior to an Exercise Date) or in the event the Participant ceases to qualify as an Eligible Employee, the Participant’s participation in

the Plan will terminate, any Option held by the Participant under the Plan will be canceled, the balance in the Participant’s Account will be returned to the Participant (or his or her estate or designated beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death), without interest, as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, and the Participant will have no further rights under the Plan.
16.
EQUAL RIGHTS; RIGHTS NOT TRANSFERABLE
All Participants granted Options during an Option Period under the Plan will have the same rights and privileges, consistent with the requirements set forth in Section 423. Any Option granted under the Plan will be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him or her and may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner. In the event any Participant violates or attempts to violate the terms of this Section 16, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, any Options granted to the Participant under the Plan may be terminated by the Company and, upon the return to the Participant of the balance of his or her Account, without interest, all of the Participant’s rights under the Plan will terminate.
17.
CHANGE IN CAPITALIZATION; COVERED TRANSACTION
(a) Change in Capitalization. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization or other change in the Company’s capital structure that constitutes an equity restructuring within the meaning of the Accounting Rules, the Administrator shall make appropriate adjustments to the aggregate number and type of shares of stock available under the Plan, the number and type of shares of stock granted under any outstanding Options, the maximum number and type of shares of stock purchasable under any outstanding Option, and/or the Purchase Price under any outstanding Option, in any case, in a manner that complies with Section 423.
(b) Covered Transaction. In the event of a Covered Transaction, the Administrator may, in its discretion, (i) provide that each outstanding Option will be assumed or exchanged for a substitute option granted by the acquiror or successor corporation or by a parent or subsidiary of the acquiror or successor corporation; (ii) cancel each outstanding Option and return the balances in Participants’ Accounts to the Participants; and/or (iii) terminate the Option Period on or before the date of the Covered Transaction (in which case the date on which the Option Period terminates will be treated as the Exercise Date for such Option Period).
18.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
(a) Amendment. The Administrator reserves the right at any time or times to amend the Plan to any extent and in any manner it may deem advisable; provided, that any amendment that would be treated as the adoption of a new plan for purposes of Section 423 will have no force or effect unless approved by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after its adoption.
(b) Termination. The Administrator reserves the right at any time or times to suspend or terminate the Plan. In connection therewith, the Administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, either that outstanding Options will be exercisable on the Exercise Date for the applicable Option Period or on such earlier date as the Administrator may specify (in which case such earlier date will be treated as the Exercise Date for the applicable Option Period), or that the balance of each Participant’s Account will be returned to the Participant, without interest.
19.
APPROVALS
Stockholder approval of the Plan will be obtained prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is approved by the Board. In the event that the Plan has not been approved by the stockholders of the Company prior to the one-year anniversary of the date the Plan is approved by the Board, all Options granted under the Plan will be cancelled and become null and void and all shares of Stock previously purchased under the Plan will be required to be returned to the Company.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligation of the Company to issue and deliver shares of Stock under the Plan will be subject to the approval required of any governmental authority in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale or transfer of such shares of Stock and to any requirements of any national securities exchange applicable thereto, and to compliance by the Company with other applicable legal requirements in effect from time to time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, nothing herein is to be construed as limiting the ability of the Company and a Participant to agree to submit any dispute arising under the terms of the Plan or in respect of any Option to binding arbitration or as limiting the ability of the Company to require any individual to agree to submit any dispute to binding arbitration as a condition of receiving an Option hereunder.
(b) Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, nor the Administrator, nor any person acting on behalf of the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or the Administrator, will be liable to any Participant or to any other person by reason of any acceleration of income, any additional tax, or any penalty, interest or other liability asserted by reason of the failure of the Plan or any Option to satisfy the requirements of Section 423, or otherwise asserted with respect to the Plan or any Option.
