| 5 |     | Termination and Change-in-Control Benefits |

The protection of competitive and confidential information and the retention of top talent are of the utmost importance to Vertiv. For this reason, our named executive officers are subject to confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation covenants.Each named executive officer generally was subject to our Executive Employment Policy (or for some of our non-U.S. executiveofficers, an employment agreement with similar benefits) and our “double-trigger” Executive Change of Control Plan, in each case that provide for severance benefits following a qualifying termination of employment, which is intended to alleviate concerns about job security that could affect performance and keep the named executive officers focused on their day-to-day responsibilities.A detailed description of these severance and change of control benefits, along with estimates of the value of the benefits potentially payable under these arrangements, are set out below under the caption “ Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control.”

All of the named executive officers in the United States were eligible for coverage under our health insurance programs, including medical, dental and vision, a health savings account and flexible spending accounts. Additionally, the named executive officers were eligible for life insurance, short- and long-term disability benefits and paid time off. Officers in other jurisdictions are generally eligible for available benefit programs in the applicable jurisdiction. We may provide additional benefits in particular circumstances. For example, for executives required to relocate to the U.S. for new positions, in some cases we have agreed to provide reimbursement for fees paid in connection with the filing of U.S. and non-U.S.tax returns, tax equalization benefits, and other related items. The compensation for Mr. Sanghi and Mr. Karlborg for 2024 reflects these types of benefits, as described in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table. We also provide relocation benefits.

The Compensation Committee expects to review annual benchmarking using a peer group representing a set of companies in the industries in which we compete. The Compensation Committee has worked with management to represent companies comparable in terms of size, industry, revenue and/or market cap, with a focus on
