**Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

As previously announced on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Teleflex Incorporated (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 8, 2026, Liam J. Kelly departed from his roles as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, effective as of the end of the day on January 7, 2026 (the "Effective Date"). In connection with Mr. Kelly's departure, the Company entered into a separation agreement and release with Mr. Kelly, dated January 23, 2026 (the "Separation Agreement"). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Kelly has resigned from the Board effective January 23, 2026.

The Separation Agreement provides for the benefits to which Mr. Kelly is entitled in the event of a termination without cause pursuant to the terms of his existing severance agreement with the Company, dated March 31, 2017 (provided that outplacement benefits will be paid in a lump sum), contingent upon Mr. Kelly's execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, which such release is included in the Separation Agreement. Please refer to the description of the post-employment payments and benefits included under the heading "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Ongoing and Post-Employment Arrangements - Executive Severance Arrangements" in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025, which description is incorporated herein by reference. Further, Mr. Kelly's outstanding equity awards will receive age and service vesting treatment upon termination to the extent applicable under his existing equity award agreements.

Additionally, the Separation Agreement provides that Mr. Kelly will remain an employee of the Company following the Effective Date until March 31, 2026, unless he resigns or the Company terminates him for cause prior to such date (the "Transition Period") in order to provide transition services to the Company. During the Transition Period, Mr. Kelly will continue to: (i) receive his base salary; (ii) be eligible to participate in all health and welfare benefit plans in which he was enrolled as of the Effective Date, including the Company's 401(k) plan; (iii) receive payment of any bonus payable pursuant to the Company's Annual Incentive Plan in respect of the 2025 performance period to the extent scheduled to be paid during the Transition Period; and (iv) vest and settle in all equity awards granted to him by the Company that are scheduled to vest during the Transition Period (but will be ineligible to receive any new equity award grants).

As affirmed in the Separation Agreement, Mr. Kelly will be subject to the restrictive covenants set out in his existing severance agreement.
