For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Release Date the Employee’s access to the Employer’s premises shall be restricted to the Employee’s apartment (including the necessary access stairwell) and the Employer’s parking garage. The Employee shall not be permitted to access any other premises of the Employer as of the Release Date.

For the year 2026, the employee receives a voluntary bonus in the amount of CHF 228'430.95 gross (60 % of CHF 456'861.90 pro rata temporis until the End Date). This amount will be paid at the End Date.

7.

Vacation Entitlements

The holiday balance as of the End Date is 117.67 days (amount days carry-over from previous years, amount days entitlement from January 2026 to the End Date, taken days in 2026). Total 43.67 vacation days are compensated with the garden leave (general rule: 1/3 of the garden leave duration (May 1 until End Date), 131 working days). The difference of 74 vacation days (117.67 minus 43.67) in the amount of CHF 130’069.80 gross (monthly salary CHF 38’071.83: 21.66 days/month x 74 vacation days) will be paid to the Employee together with the last salary payment at the End Date (the Vacation Payout).

The Employee expressly agrees that any Vacation Payout shall be offset against any withholding tax due and owed by the Employee and be retained by the Employer to comply with its obligation to pay such withholding tax on Employee’s behalf. The Employee confirms to have no claims vis-à-vis the Employer with respect to vacation entitlements, extra hours and overtime as at the End Date.

The Employer will pay to the Employee a voluntary severance of CHF 456’861.96 gross (12-month salaries), less employee social security contributions (AHV/IV/EO/ALV) and (if applicable) withholding tax. No pension fund contributions are due on this payment. This severance payment will be paid out at the End Date.

The Employer shall give only positive references about the Employee vis à vis third parties. The parties will make no other statement (or take any other action) designed to, or which has the effect of damaging the reputation of the other party.

16.

Settlement Clause

In the case of invalidity or revocation of a provision of this Agreement, the provision is to be replaced by an effective one that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision. The same shall apply in cases where a gap becomes apparent.

18.
