 Exhibit 10.4 

FORM OF EXECUTIVE CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 

This Executive Change in Control Severance Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made as of the
                     day of                     ,
20         (the “Effective Date”), by and between TTM Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and

Recitals 
 A. The
Executive currently serves as                      of the Company. 

B. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) acknowledges that the potential for a change in control of the
Company, whether friendly or hostile, currently exists and from time to time in the future will exist, which potential can give rise to uncertainty among the senior executives of the Company. The Board considers it essential to the best interests of
the Company to reduce the risk of the Executive’s departure and the inevitable distraction of the Executive’s attention from his or her duties to the Company, which are normally attendant to such uncertainties. 

C. The Executive confirms that the terms of this Agreement reduce the risks of his or her departure and distraction of his or her attention
from his or her duties to the Company and, accordingly, desires to enter into this Agreement.

continue in effect until the second anniversary of the Effective Date, provided, however, that the term of this Agreement automatically shall be extended for one additional year effective as of each anniversary of the Effective Date
beginning with the second anniversary, unless either the Company or the Executive provides written notice to the other that the term of this Agreement shall terminate on the upcoming anniversary of the Effective Date, provided such notice is
received by the receiving party not less than ninety (90) days prior to the intended date of termination and provided further that the Company shall not be entitled to deliver to the Executive such notice in the event of a Change in
Control or a Pending Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the later to occur of (a) the termination of the Executive’s employment other than in the event of a Change in Control
or a Pending Change in Control or (b) 12 months following a Change in Control.

to occur of the following: (a) the Executive’s voluntary resignation; (b) termination by the Company for any reason; (c) the Executive’s death or Long-Term Disability; and (d) termination by the Executive for Good
Reason following a Change in Control. 
 4. Legal Benefits; Accrued Compensation; Severance Amount.  

(a) Compensation and Benefits Required by Law or Applicable Benefit Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Executive or his or her estate shall be entitled to receive any and all compensation, benefits, awards and other payments required by any Applicable Benefit Plan, the COBRA Act or other applicable law, (the “Legal Benefits”)
at such times and in such manner as set forth in the Applicable Benefit Plan, COBRA Act or other applicable law. 
 (b) Involuntary
Termination. In addition to the Legal Benefits referred to in paragraph 4(a) above, in the event the Executive’s employment is terminated under circumstances constituting an Involuntary Termination, the Executive shall be entitled to
receive: 







 (i) within 15 calendar days after the Date of Termination, the Executive’s
Accrued Compensation through the Date of Termination; 
 (ii) on the
61st day after the Date of Termination, provided the requirements referenced in paragraph 4(c) below have been satisfied and subject to paragraphs 12 and 13 below, a lump sum
amount in cash equal to two times the sum of (A) the Executive’s annual Base Salary, plus (B) the Executive’s Target Bonus (the “Severance Amount”); and 

(iii) if the Executive timely elects to receive continuation of group health coverage for the Executive and his or her
dependents pursuant to the COBRA Act, provided the requirements referenced in paragraph 4(c) below have been satisfied, then the Company shall pay the COBRA premiums for the Executive and his or her dependents for six (6) months
following the Date of Termination (the “COBRA Payments”). In the event that the requirements reference in paragraph 4(c) below fail to be satisfied, then the Company’s obligation to make the COBRA Payments shall
immediately cease and no longer have any force or effect, and to the extent that the Company has previously made any such COBRA Payments on behalf of the Executive, the Executive shall immediately repay such amounts to the Company. 

(c) No Payment nor Acceleration Without Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Executive shall not be
entitled to any Severance Amount referenced in paragraph 4(b)(ii) above, the COBRA Payments reference in paragraph 4(b)(iii) above or the acceleration of vesting reference in paragraphs 5 below, unless and until he or she has provided

sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination; (iii) not have been revoked by the Executive and (iv) shall release the Company of any claims that the Executive may have in respect of his or her employment with the Company or the
termination thereof.

Awards. The effect of a Change in Control with respect to any then outstanding equity awards that were granted to the Executive, including, without limitation, Options, Restricted Stock, RSUs and PRUs, shall be governed by the terms and
conditions set forth in the applicable award agreements and the equity plan such awards were granted thereunder; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any individual agreement or any equity plan, in the event of an
Involuntary Termination, then the unvested portions of all of the Executive’s time-vest RSUs then outstanding shall immediately vest, in full, as of the Date of Termination of the Executive.

Termination, and Executive executes the Release and Covenant Not To Sue (Attachment A to Appendix II to this Agreement) and receives the consideration provided for in the Agreement, Executive must also comply with the following restrictive covenants

this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. 
 (d) The Company may withhold
from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state or local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 

(e) The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure
to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement. 

(f) All claims by the Executive for payments or benefits under this Agreement shall be promptly forwarded to and addressed by the
Compensation Committee and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Compensation Committee of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial and the
specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon. The Compensation Committee shall afford the Executive a reasonable opportunity for a review of the decision denying a claim and shall further allow the Executive make a written demand upon the
Company to submit the disputed matter to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 11(g) below. The Company shall pay all expenses of the Executive, including reasonable attorneys and expert fees, in connection with any
such arbitration. If for any reason the arbitrator has not made his or her award within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of Executive’s demand for arbitration, such arbitration proceedings shall be immediately suspended and the
Company shall be deemed to have agreed to Executive’s position. Thereafter, the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within 10 business days after the expiration of such 180-day period, pay Executive his or her reasonable
expenses and all amounts reasonably claimed by him or her that were the subject of such dispute and arbitration proceedings. 
 (g) Subject
to the terms of paragraph 11(f) above, any dispute arising from, or relating to, this Agreement shall be resolved at the request of either party through binding arbitration in accordance with this paragraph 11(g). Within 10
business days after demand for arbitration has been made by either party, the parties, and/or their counsel, shall meet to discuss the issues involved, to discuss a suitable arbitrator and arbitration procedure, and to agree on arbitration rules
particularly tailored to the matter in dispute, with a view to the dispute’s prompt, efficient, and just resolution. Upon the failure of the parties to agree upon arbitration rules and procedures within a reasonable time (not longer than 15
business days from the demand), the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association shall be applicable. Likewise, upon the failure of the parties to agree upon an arbitrator within a reasonable time (not longer than 15 business
days from demand), there shall be a panel comprised of three arbitrators, one to be appointed by each party and the third one to be selected by the two arbitrators jointly, or by the American Arbitration Association, if the two arbitrators cannot
decide on a third arbitrator. At least 30 days before the arbitration hearing (which shall be set for a date no later than 60 days from the demand), the parties shall allow each other reasonable written discovery including the inspection and copying
of documents and other tangible items relevant to the issues that are to be presented at the arbitration hearing. The arbitrator(s) shall be empowered to decide any disputes regarding the scope of discovery. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s)
shall be final and binding upon both parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in Orange County in the State of California. The California District Court located in 







 
Orange County shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes between the parties in connection with such arbitration and the enforcement thereof, and the parties consent to the jurisdiction and
venue of such court for such purpose. 
 (h) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect
to any choice of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California. 

12. Other Terms Relating to Section 409A of the Code 

(a) Except as provided in paragraph 12(b) below, amounts payable under this Agreement following the termination of
Executive’s employment with the Company or a subsidiary, other than those expressly payable on a deferred or installment basis or as reimbursement of expenses, will be paid as promptly as practicable after such a termination of employment and,
in any event, within 2 1/2 months after the end of the year in which employment terminates and amounts payable as reimbursements of expenses to the Executive must be made on or before the last day
of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such expense was incurred. 
 (b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if (i) on the date of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or a subsidiary, any of the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise (within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”)), (ii) if Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
(iii) the payments exceed the amounts permitted to be paid pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) and (iv) such delay is required to avoid the imposition of the tax set forth in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, as
a result of such termination, the Executive would receive any payment that, absent the application of this paragraph 12(b), would be subject to interest and additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result
of the application of Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then no such payment shall be payable prior to the date that is the earliest of (A) six months after the Date of Termination, (B) the Executive’s death or (C) such
other date as will cause such payment not to be subject to such interest and additional tax (with a catch-up payment equal to the sum of all amounts that have been delayed to be made as of the date of the initial payment). 

(c) It is the intention of the parties that payments or benefits payable under this Agreement not be subject to the additional tax imposed
pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. To the extent such potential payments or benefits could become subject to such Section, the parties shall cooperate to amend this Agreement with the goal of giving the Executive the economic benefits
described herein in a manner that does not result in such tax being imposed. 
 (d) A termination of employment under this Agreement shall
be deemed to occur only in circumstances that would constitute a “separation from service” for purposes of Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii). 

(e) Wherever payments under this Agreement are to be made in installments, each such installment shall be deemed to be a separate payment for
purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 
 13. Certain Possible Reduction of Payments by the Company 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the
Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would be nondeductible by the Company for Federal
income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present value of amounts payable or distributable to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement (such payments or distributions pursuant to this
Agreement are hereinafter referred to as “Agreement Payments”) shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount (as defined below), but only if and to the extent that the after-tax value of reduced Agreement Payments would exceed the
after-tax value of the Agreement Payments received by the Executive without application of such reduction. The “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of
Agreement Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Reduced Amount is zero and it is determined further that any Payment which
is not an Agreement Payment would nevertheless be nondeductible by the Company for Federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present value of Payments which








 
are not Agreement Payments shall also be reduced (but not below zero) to an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Payments without causing any Payment
to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code. For purposes of this paragraph 13(a), present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. 

(b) All determinations required to be made under this paragraph 13 shall be made by KPMG LLP or another independent registered
accounting firm selected by the Board (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within twenty (20) business days of the date of termination or
such earlier time as is requested by the Company and an opinion to the Executive that he has substantial authority not to report any excise tax on his Federal income tax return with respect to any Payments. Any such determination by the Accounting
Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. The Executive shall determine which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this paragraph 13, provided that, if the Executive
does not make such determination within ten business days of the receipt of the calculations made by the Accounting Firm, the Company shall elect which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of
this paragraph 13 and shall notify the Executive promptly of such election. Within five business days thereafter, the Company shall pay to or distribute to or for the benefit of the Executive such amounts as are then due to the Executive
under this Agreement. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm incurred in connection with the determinations contemplated by this paragraph 13 shall be borne by the Company. 

(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by the Company which should not have been made (“Overpayment”) or that additional Payments which will not have been made by the Company could have
been made (“Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against
the Executive which the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive shall be treated for all
purposes as a loan ab initio to the Executive which the Executive shall repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no such loan shall be
deemed to have been made and no amount shall be payable by the Executive to the Company if and to the extent such deemed loan and payment would not either reduce the amount on which the Executive is subject to tax under Section 1 and
Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or other substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.
