 our employee benefits programs as needed based upon changes in applicable laws and market practices.

Other Personal Benefits

We do not generally provide perquisites or other personal benefits to our named executive officers, except in limited situations where we believe it is appropriate. We generally do not reimburse executive officers for the income taxes associated with these perquisites except for limited business-related perquisites. In circumstances where we have elected to provide perquisites or other personal benefits, and at times have elected to pay the income taxes for these business-related perquisites or other personal benefits, we have done so because we believe they are business expenses. These benefits generally represent a very small portion of an executive officer’s overall compensation and provide a benefit to us and our stockholders.

#### Severance Arrangements
We believe that reasonable and appropriate severance benefits are necessary in order to be competitive in our executive attraction and retention efforts. See the section titled “Potential Payments upon a Change in Control or Termination of Employment” on page 62 for a more detailed description of these benefits.

#### Change in Control Severance Policy
Effective July 30, 2020, our compensation committee adopted the 10x Genomics, Inc. Change in Control Severance Policy (the "Severance Policy"), which is intended to provide severance pay and other benefits to certain eligible employees including our named executive officers in the event of certain terminations of employment in connection with a “change in control” (as defined in the Severance Policy). The Severance Policy also provides accelerated vesting of certain outstanding stock options and restricted stock units held by eligible employees and other service providers.

The Severance Policy became effective upon its adoption by our compensation committee and will continue in effect until December 31, 2025 and will automatically be extended for one additional year after each successive one-year period thereafter, unless it is terminated or amended by our compensation committee, the plan administrator.

The following individuals are eligible to participate in the Severance Policy:

• An employee who is classified by us as a regular full-time salaried or hourly employee and is primarily employed in the United States.

• An employee who is not a U.S. employee and who holds or is granted stock options or restricted stock units.

• A consultant or advisor (excluding any non-employee director) who holds or is granted stock options or restricted stock units.

The Severance Policy provides certain payments and benefits upon a “qualifying termination,” which is defined as follows
