On October 24, 2022, following the recommendation of the Compensation & Governance Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (the “Company”), the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Richardson Electronics, Ltd. Amended and Restated Edward J.

The Richardson Incentive Plan is the plan pursuant to which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Edward J.

The amended terms approved and reflected in the Amendment include revisions (1) to allow Mr. Richardson to participate directly in the Management Incentive Compensation Plan and (2) for Mr. Richardson to be eligible for an annual award equal to 2% of the Company’s net income over the benefit to which Mr. Richardson is entitled to under the Management Incentive Compensation Plan. This description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
