PSU AGREEMENT
The Participant has been granted an Award (the “Award”) of performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) pursuant to the Mirion Technologies, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), the Notice of PSU Award (the “Notice”) and this PSU Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 1, 2024 (the “Grant Date”). Except as otherwise indicated, any capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan or in the Notice.
1.Issuance of Shares. Each PSU shall represent the right to receive one Share upon vesting, as determined in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan and the Notice. The target number of PSUs (the “Target PSUs”) is set forth in the Notice. The actual number of Shares to be issued will be based on the level of attainment of the Performance Goals (as defined in Appendix 1 to this Exhibit A).
2.Vesting Date; Vesting Conditions.
(a)The Participant may earn between 0% and 200% of the Target PSUs based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals during the Performance Period. Subject to Sections 1, and 3 of this Agreement, the Award shall vest on the date the Committee certifies the Company’s achievement of the Performance Metrics set forth in the Notice following the final date of the Performance Period (such certification date, the “Vesting Date”), and pursuant to the vesting conditions set forth in the Notice.
(b)Following the Vesting Date, the PSUs underlying this Award vest based on the achievement of the Performance Goals and, once vesting is determined, the applicable portion (if any) shall become vested and be settled in Shares in accordance with Section 6. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3, vesting will cease upon the Participant’s Termination of Service. Any PSUs that did not become vested prior to the Participant’s Termination of Service or that do not become vested according to the provisions in Section 3 of this Agreement shall be forfeited immediately following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service.
3.Treatment Upon a Termination of Service. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the treatment of the PSUs underlying this Award upon the Participant’s Termination of Service outside of, or in connection with, a Change in Control shall be governed by the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company (the “Employment Agreement”) if any; provided, however, in the event the Company at such time maintains a severance plan in which the Participant has become a participant in accordance with the terms and conditions of any such plan, including, but not limited to, by entering into a participation agreement upon the Participant’s Termination of Service (the “Severance Plan”), and such
3
Severance Plan provides for greater benefits than set forth in the Employment Agreement with respect to the treatment of the PSUs underlying this Award, the Participant shall receive the greater benefit under the Severance Plan in lieu of the benefit under the Employment Agreement. In no event shall the Participant receive benefits with respect to the treatment of the PSUs underlying this Award under both the Employment Agreement and the Severance Plan.
4.Voting Rights. The Participant shall have no voting rights or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the PSUs unless and until the Participant becomes the record owner of the Shares underlying the PSUs.
5.Dividend Equivalents. If a cash dividend is declared on Shares during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date on which the Shares underlying the PSUs are distributed to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant shall be eligible to receive an amount in cash (a “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the dividend that the Participant would have received had the Shares underlying the PSUs been held by the Participant as of the time at which such dividend was declared; provided that, the Dividend Equivalent shall be provided in Shares if required by applicable law. Each Dividend Equivalent will be paid to the Participant in cash or Shares, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than 45 days) after the applicable vesting date of the corresponding PSUs. For clarity, no Dividend Equivalent will be paid with respect to any PSUs that are forfeited.
6.Distribution of Shares. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon the vesting of any of the PSUs, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than 45 days) after the applicable vesting date, one Share for each such PSU. Upon the delivery of Shares, such Shares shall be fully assignable, alienable, saleable and transferrable by the Participant; provided that any such assignment, alienation, sale, transfer or other alienation with respect to such Shares shall be in accordance with applicable securities laws and any applicable Company policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the timing of the distribution of Shares may be modified to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code as contemplated by Section 19 of the Plan.
7.Responsibility for Taxes.
(a)The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Award and the receipt of any dividends and/or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any
8
particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items in the manner determined by the Company and/or the Employer from time to time, which may include: (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; (ii) requiring the Participant to remit the aggregate amount of such Tax-Related Items to the Company in full, in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company or the Employer; (iii) through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to sell Shares obtained upon settlement of the Award and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount of the proceeds of such sale equal to the amount of the Tax-Related Items; (iv) by a “net settlement” under which the Company reduces the number of Shares issued on settlement of the Award by the number of Shares with an aggregate fair market value that equals the amount of the Tax-Related Items associated with such settlement; or (v) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and permitted by applicable law.
(c)Depending on the withholding method, the Company or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent number of Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the settled Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(d)Finally, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
8.Not Salary, Pensionable Earnings or Base Pay. The Participant acknowledges that the Award shall not be included in or deemed to be a part of (a) salary, normal salary or other ordinary compensation, (b) any definition of pensionable or other earnings (however defined) for the purpose of calculating any benefits payable to or on behalf of the Participant under any pension, retirement, termination or dismissal indemnity, severance benefit, retirement
8
indemnity or other benefit arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate (including the Employer) or (c) any calculation of base pay or regular pay for any purpose.
9.Cancellation/Clawback.
(a)The Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant and the Award are subject to the terms and conditions of Section 18 (Cancellation or “Clawback” of Awards) of the Plan.
(b)The Board has adopted a Clawback Policy (as amended from time to time, the “Policy”), a copy of which can be found attached to the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2024. The Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant has had an opportunity to review the Policy. In addition, the Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Participant is a Covered Executive and/or a Participating Employee (as defined in the Policy), as applicable, for purposes of the Policy and any Incentive Compensation (as defined in the Policy) received by Participant on or after the Effective Date (as defined in the Policy) including, without limitation, this Award, shall be subject to, reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Policy. To the extent the Company’s recovery right under the Policy conflicts with any other contractual rights Participant may have with the Company, Participant understands that the terms of the Policy shall supersede any such contractual rights.

This Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, including the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time.
