Exhibit 10.53

SUMMARY OF KEY TERMS OF COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS WITH MERIX

CORPORATION EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Merix executive officers each receive an annual salary, which they may defer into a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The executive officers
are also eligible for a cash incentive under the Merix Executive Incentive Plan (EIP) and for equity incentives under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. Awards under the EIP are determined as a percentage of base salary. In addition,
Merix executives may receive cash bonuses on hiring and at other times at the discretion of Merix Human Resources and Compensation Committee. Merix has entered into written severance agreements with its named executive officers pursuant to which
they will receive severance benefits in the event their employment terminates other than for cause or as a result of death or disability and additional severance benefits in the event their employment terminates within 24 months following a change
in control of Merix. Merix executives participate in Merix 401(k) plan and other employee benefits plans on the same basis as other employees. Merix makes annual matching contributions to Merix 401(k) Plan and pays Group Term Life
Insurance premiums for each of its executive officers on the same basis as for all regular employees of Merix who satisfy minimum eligibility requirements. In addition, Merix executive officers are eligible to participate in Merix health
and welfare and other employee benefit plans that are available on the same basis to all regular employees of Merix who satisfy minimum eligibility requirements.

Key elements of executive compensation for fiscal year ended May 26, 2007 are:
