&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Chair • Member

Garmin does not have a policy that limits the number of terms or years a director may serve on the Board because such limits may cause the loss of experience and expertise important to the operation of the Board. Instead, to ensure the Board remains composed of high-functioning members able to keep their commitments to Board service, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the qualifications and performance of each incumbent director before recommending the nomination of incumbent directors for re-election. Having a Board comprised of directors with a variety of tenures provides an effective mix of deep knowledge about Garmin and fresh perspectives.

For more information regarding our nominees, see the section entitled "Nominees for Election" beginning on page ___.

# CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

## Governance Highlights
Garmin is committed to corporate governance practices that promote the long-term interests of our shareholders and provide structure for principled and effective decision-making and appropriate monitoring of compliance and performance.

Our governance framework includes the following highlights:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Four out of six director nominees are independent

• Only independent directors are members of our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance
 Committees

• Regularly scheduled Board meetings include executive sessions during which no members of management
 are present

• All directors are elected annually for a one-year term

• Majority vote required in director elections

• Members of the Compensation Committee are elected annually by the shareholders for a one-year
 term

• The Board and its committees conduct annual self-evaluations led by experienced independent
 outside counsel, including one-on-one interviews

• A shareholder-approved "overboarding" policy that limits the number of boards
 of other public companies our directors can serve on

• Board size and structure that enables each independent director to be highly engaged and to
 have direct access to and significant interaction with our management

• The Board regularly reviews Board and executive succession planning

## Board Independence
Garmin's Corporate Governance Guidelines require a majority of Board members to be independent. The Board has undertaken a review of the independence of the directors on our Board. Based on this review, the Board has determined that four members of the Board (Ms. Ball, Mr. Burrell, Mr. Hartnett and Ms. Lewis) qualify as "independent" directors as defined under the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and SEC regulations. Ms. Ball, Mr. Burrell, Mr. Hartnett and Ms. Lewis constitute a majority of the Board.

In making these determinations, our Board considered any current and prior relationships or transactions that each director has with the Company and other information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each director and the transactions, if any, involving them described in "Compensation of Directors" and "Related Person Policy and Transactions."

The Board has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Nominating Committee"). The Board has determined that all members of each of these committees are independent under the applicable listing standards of the NYSE and SEC rules and regulations for committee memberships.

## Board and Committee Structure
Garmin and the Board regularly review the Board's size, composition and leadership structure. The Board believes the current size of the Board –six directors – is appropriate considering the primary responsibilities of the Board, its governance structure, the experience and high level of engagement of each Board member, and the capabilities and experience of the management team the Board oversees.

The Board believes its leadership structure, in which the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer are separated, best serves the Board's ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of Garmin's shareholders. Dr. Min H. Kao serves as Executive Chairman of the Board, and Clifton A. Pemble serves as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board.

The Board believes Dr. Kao's continued contribution as Executive Chairman adds significant value because he is a co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer of Garmin, which gives him a unique perspective of the Company's history, vision and values. In addition, because of his significant ownership of Garmin shares, Dr. Kao's interests are aligned with those of Garmin's shareholders.

GARMIN LTD. - *2026 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* 11

[Back to Contents](#toc)

As mentioned above, the Board regularly reviews its leadership structure. Following its most recent review, the Board determined that not having a lead independent director continues to best serve the Board's ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities because, given the size of the Board, not having a lead independent director encourages and enables all four of the independent directors to play an active role on the Board. Rather than rely on only one independent director to have access to and interact with Garmin's management, each of the independent directors has direct access to and regular interaction with Garmin's management. At executive sessions of the independent directors, rather than appoint only one independent director to preside, each of the independent directors is given the opportunity to raise issues, make comments or express views.

The membership and primary responsibilities of each of the Board committees are described below.

Each committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, which are available at www.garmin.com/investors/governance. Each committee reviews and assesses its charter annually.

### Audit Committee
Mr. Hartnett (Chair), Ms. Ball and Ms. Lewis serve as the members of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Ms. Ball, Mr. Hartnett and Ms. Lewis are "audit committee financial experts" as defined by the SEC regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee include, among others set forth in the Audit Committee's charter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Assist the Board in overseeing the quality and integrity of Garmin's financial
 statements and the accounting and financial reporting processes, both internal and external

• Appoint and oversee Garmin's independent registered public accounting firm, including
 their qualifications and independence, and preapprove fees

• Oversee Garmin's internal controls, including the internal audit function

• Assist the Board in overseeing Garmin's compliance and ethics programs, including those
 related to ethics, legal and regulatory matters

• Discuss with Garmin's management guidelines and policies to govern the process by which
 risk assessment and risk management is handled

### Compensation Committee
Ms. Lewis (Chair), Ms. Ball, Mr. Burrell and Mr. Hartnett serve as the members of the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to Swiss law and our Articles of Association, the members of the Compensation Committee are elected annually by the shareholders at the annual general meeting of shareholders.

Our Articles of Association provide that the Compensation Committee shall, among other things: (1) consider and make recommendations to the Board on the compensation and related disclosure of the Board; (2) assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to compensation and related disclosure of the members of the Company's executive management ("Executive Management"), including the development of policies relating to Executive Management compensation and benefit programs; and (3) prepare and recommend to the Board the proposals of the Board to the general meeting of the shareholders regarding the compensation of the Board and Executive Management.

Additional primary responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include, among others set forth in the Compensation Committee's charter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Review, approve and oversee Garmin's compensation philosophy for executive
 officers, and oversee the development and implementation of compensation programs aligned with Garmin's goals and objectives

• Annually review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of
 the Executive Chairman and CEO, evaluate the performance of the Executive Chairman and CEO and determine and approve the compensation
 levels, as well as the components and structure of the compensation packages, of the Executive Chairman and CEO

• Determine the compensation levels, as well as the components and structure of the compensation
 packages, of other Garmin executive officers

• Review and recommend to the Board any changes in the amount, components and structure of compensation
 paid to the non-employee members of the Board for their service on the Board and its committees

• Prepare and recommend to the Board the proposals for submission at the annual general meeting
 of shareholders regarding the maximum aggregate compensation of the members of the Board and designated members of Executive
 Management in accordance with applicable Swiss law

• Review and discuss with management the proposed Compensation Discussion and Analysis section
 ("CD&A") of Garmin's annual general meeting proxy statement and, based on such review and discussion,
 make a recommendation to the Board regarding inclusion of the CD&A in the proxy statement

• Produce the annual Compensation Committee Report required by applicable SEC rules and regulations

• Review and discuss with management the report regarding the compensation of the members of
 the Board and Garmin's Executive Management to accompany Garmin's statutory financial statements in accordance
 with Swiss law, and make a recommendation to the Board regarding inclusion of such report with the statutory financial statements

• Oversee Garmin's equity incentive plans

• Review the design and oversee the administration of Garmin's other broad-based employee
 compensation and benefit programs

• Review potential risks related to Garmin's compensation programs and policies

The processes and procedures for considering and determining executive compensation, including the Compensation Committee's authority and role in the process and the roles of Garmin executives and consultants in making determinations on executive compensation, are described in "Executive Compensation Matters—Compensation Discussion and Analysis" below.

The processes and procedures for considering and determining non-employee director compensation are described in "Compensation of Directors" below.

### Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Mr. Burrell (Chair), Ms. Ball, Mr. Hartnett and Ms. Lewis serve as the members of the Nominating Committee.

The primary responsibilities of the Nominating Committee include, among others set forth in the Nominating Committee's charter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Make recommendations to the Board regarding the composition, size, role and functions
 of the Board

• Determine director selection criteria and conduct searches for prospective directors whose
 skills and attributes reflect these criteria

• Evaluate and recommend nominees for election to the Board

• Evaluate and make recommendations to the Board concerning the appointment of directors to
 serve on each standing committee and the selection of Board committee chairs, except that, as required by mandatory Swiss
 law, members of the Compensation Committee are elected by the shareholders

• Evaluate and make recommendations to the Board of a nominee for election by the shareholders
 to serve as Chairman of the Board

• Evaluate prior to each annual general meeting, and report to the Board on, the financial literacy
 of the Audit Committee members and whether the Audit Committee has at least one "audit committee financial expert"
 and one Audit Committee member who has accounting or related financial management expertise

• Evaluate prior to each annual general meeting, and report to the Board on, the independence
 of director nominees and Board members under applicable laws, regulations, and stock exchange listing standards

• Create and implement a process for the Board to annually evaluate its own performance

• Annually review the Nominating Committee's own performance and verify that the other
 standing Board committees have annually evaluated their own performance

• Oversee and make recommendations to the Board regarding corporate governance matters, including
 Garmin's Corporate Governance Guidelines, Articles of Association and Organizational Regulations, each of which is available
 at www.garmin.com/investors/governance

The Nominating Committee seeks to include individuals from diverse backgrounds with varying perspectives, professional experience, education and skills in the pool from which nominees for vacancies on the Board are chosen.

In recommending a director nominee (including the re-election of an incumbent director), the Nominating Committee: (a) considers whether the nominee meets the standards and has the appropriate qualities and experience, the nominee's reputation and affiliations, the nominee's commitment to prepare for and regularly attend Board and Board committee meetings, the nominee's diversity of background and perspective, and other factors it deems appropriate; (b) evaluates the nominee's independence from Garmin and other qualifications if independence or other qualifications are necessary or desirable under applicable SEC rules and regulations and the listing standards of the NYSE to meet requirements for Board composition or Board committee membership; and (c) evaluates whether the nominees would satisfy Garmin's "overboarding" policy described under "Overboarding Policy" below.

In evaluating and recommending candidates for nomination at the annual general meeting of Garmin's shareholders, the Nominating Committee begins by determining whether the incumbent directors desire and are qualified to continue their service on the Board. In recommending an incumbent director for re-election, in addition to the criteria described above, the Nominating Committee considers the incumbent's prior Board service, continued commitment to Board service and any changes in employment or other status that may affect such incumbent's qualifications to serve. If there are Board vacancies and the Nominating Committee does not re-nominate an incumbent, the Nominating Committee will consider and evaluate director candidates recommended by the Board, members of the Nominating Committee, management and any shareholder owning one percent or more of Garmin's outstanding shares.

The Nominating Committee will use the same criteria to evaluate all director candidates, whether recommended by the Board, members of the Nominating Committee, management or a one percent shareholder. The Nominating Committee has adopted the policy that a shareholder owning one percent or more of Garmin's outstanding shares may recommend director candidates for consideration by the Nominating Committee by writing to the Company Secretary by mail at Garmin Ltd., Mühlentalstrasse 36/38, 8200 Schaffhausen, Switzerland. The recommendation must contain the proposed candidate's name, address, biographical data, a description of the proposed candidate's business experience, a description of the proposed candidate's qualifications for consideration as a director, a representation that the nominating shareholder is a beneficial or record owner of one percent or more of Garmin's outstanding shares (based on the number of outstanding shares reported on the cover page of Garmin's most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K) and a statement of the number of Garmin shares owned by such shareholder. The recommendation must also be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director of Garmin if nominated and elected. A shareholder may not recommend himself or herself as a director candidate.

Garmin's Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Board require that a majority of Garmin's directors be independent and that any independent director candidate meet the definition of an independent director under applicable SEC rules and regulations and the listing standards of the NYSE. The Nominating Committee also requires that at least one independent director qualify as an "audit committee financial expert." The Nominating Committee further requires that an independent director candidate should have either (a) at least ten years of experience at a policy-making level or other level with significant decision-making responsibility in an organization or institution or (b) a high level of technical knowledge or business experience relevant to Garmin's technology or industry. In addition, the Nominating Committee requires that an independent director candidate have such financial expertise, character, integrity, ethical standards, interpersonal skills and time to devote to Board matters as would reasonably be considered to be appropriate in order for the director to carry out his or her duties as a director.

GARMIN LTD. - *2026 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* 13

[Back to Contents](#toc)

## Overboarding Policy
Our Board expects individual directors to allot sufficient time and attention to Company matters. Art. 32 b) of the Company's Articles of Association provides that no member of the Board, including members of Executive Management who serve on the Board, who holds full-time employment or part-time employment of more than sixteen hours per week may serve on the board of directors of more than two other public companies, and that no member of the Board who is retired or holds part-time employment of fewer than sixteen hours per week may serve on the board of directors of more than four other public companies.

As described above under "Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee", when evaluating and recommending a candidate for nomination (including incumbent directors) the Nominating Committee considers, among other things, whether the candidate has the time and commitment to fulfil their obligations to our Board and whether they comply with the restrictions on serving on other boards of directors of public companies set forth in our Articles of Association.

## Board Oversight of Risk
The Board takes an active role in overseeing Garmin's business strategies. The Board believes evaluating management's processes for identifying and managing risks confronting Garmin is a critical part of the Board's oversight role.

The entire Board performs the risk oversight role. Garmin's Chief Executive Officer is a member of the Board, and Garmin's Chief Financial Officer, co-Chief Operating Officers, and General Counsel regularly attend Board meetings, which helps facilitate discussions regarding risk between the Board and Garmin's senior management, as well as the exchange of risk-related information or concerns between the Board and the senior management. In addition, at least annually and more frequently as warranted, Garmin's Chief Executive Officer provides the Board a detailed description of primary business risks and the strategies to mitigate those risks, the co-Chief Operating Officer provides a detailed description of primary operations risks and the strategies to mitigate those risks, the General Counsel provides an overview of primary regulatory and compliance risks and the strategies to mitigate those risks, and reports on any ethics complaints submitted through the compliance hotline, and the head of cybersecurity provides an overview of cybersecurity risks and the strategies to mitigate those risks. Management also provides updates to the Board on the Company's use of artificial intelligence technologies, and any significant associate risks and opportunities. The members of the Board have the opportunity to ask questions, raise concerns, request additional information, and provide other input during each of those discussions.

The independent directors meet in executive session at regularly scheduled Board meetings to voice their observations or concerns and to shape the agendas for future Board meetings.

The Board believes that, with these practices, each director has an equal stake in the Board's actions and oversight role and equal accountability to Garmin and its shareholders.

## Board and Committee Meetings and Attendance
The Board held five meetings during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025. Four executive sessions of the independent directors were held in the 2025 fiscal year.

During the 2025 fiscal year, the Audit Committee held four meetings, the Compensation Committee held five meetings and the Nominating Committee held three meetings.

Each director who served during 2025 attended at least 75% of the aggregate of: (1) the total number of meetings of the Board held during their term, and (2) the total number of meetings held by all committees on which such director served. It is Garmin's policy to encourage directors to attend Garmin's annual general meeting. All of Garmin's directors attended Garmin's 2025 annual general meeting.

## Annual Board and Committee Self-Evaluations
The Board conducts an annual self-evaluation to assess the performance of the Board, its committees and each member of the Board. In addition, as part of its annual self-evaluation, the Board evaluates its size, composition, and leadership structure, and discusses whether the current size, composition and leadership structure continue to best serve the Board's ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of Garmin's shareholders.

The Nominating Committee designs and establishes the overall evaluation framework. Outside legal counsel with expertise in corporate governance matters leads the evaluation process and conducts one-on-one interviews and discussions with each member of the Board to obtain their assessment of the effectiveness and performance of the Board and its committees, as well as their assessment of the effectiveness of the Board's current size, composition and leadership structure. Additional discussion topics include the timing, agenda and content of Board and committee meetings, Board dynamics and function, the quality and timeliness of information provided to the Board by management prior to and during Board meetings, and whether members of the Board have sufficient access to management.

Outside legal counsel leads a similar annual evaluation process with each committee, and the Nominating Committee verifies that each committee has completed its annual self-evaluation.

A summary identifying any themes or issues that emerged during the Board's and its committees' evaluation processes is presented to the Board on an anonymous basis.

## Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Garmin had no compensation committee interlocks for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025.

## Related Person Policy and Transactions
Garmin has adopted a written policy for the review by the Audit Committee of transactions in which Garmin is a participant and any related person will have a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. This policy is generally designed to cover those related party transactions that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement, annual report on Form 10-K or registration statement pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. However, the policy is more encompassing in that the amount involved in a transaction covered by the policy must only exceed $60,000 while disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K is required only if the amount involved exceeds $120,000. The policy defines the terms "transaction" and "related person" in the same manner as Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

If the nature of the timing of a related party transaction is such that it is not practical to obtain advance approval by the Audit Committee, then management may enter into it, subject to ratification by the Audit Committee. If ratification is not subsequently obtained, then management must take all reasonable efforts to cause the related person transaction to be null and void.

The Audit Committee will approve or ratify only those related party transactions that it determines in good faith are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of Garmin and its shareholders. In making that determination, the Audit Committee shall consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances available to it, including the benefits to Garmin and whether the related party transaction is on terms and conditions comparable to those available in arms-length dealing with an unrelated third party that can provide comparable products or services.

The Audit Committee will also annually review ongoing related party transactions after considering all relevant facts and circumstances. The Audit Committee will then determine if those transactions should be terminated or modified based on whether it is still in the best interests, or not inconsistent with the best interests, of Garmin and its shareholders.

Philip Straub, Executive Vice President, Managing Director-Aviation, Garmin International, Inc. ("Garmin International"), has two family members who are non-executive employees of Garmin International and received annual compensation in 2025 of more than $120,000. Susan Lyman, Vice President, Global Consumer Marketing, Garmin International has two family members who are or were non-executive employees of Garmin International and received annual compensation in 2025 of more than $120,000. Clifton Pemble, Garmin's President and Chief Executive Officer, has a family member who is a non-executive employee of Garmin International and received annual compensation in 2025 of more than $120,000. Each of these family members received compensation in 2025 of more than $120,000 and less than $350,000, in addition to customary employee benefits available to all salaried employees in the United States. The Audit Committee reviewed and approved each of these related person transactions.

The compensation of each of the family members described above was established by Garmin International in accordance with its standard compensation practices and is consistent with other employees in similar positions with comparable qualifications, tenure and responsibilities.

## Compensation and Risk
The Compensation Committee regularly assesses risks related to compensation programs, including our executive compensation programs. The Compensation Committee and Garmin believe there are no risks arising from Garmin's compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Garmin.

## Communications with the Board
The Board has established a process to receive communications from shareholders and other interested persons. Shareholders and other interested persons may communicate with the Board, all independent directors as a group or any individual director of Garmin by writing to the Board, the independent directors, or any individual director in care of Garmin's Corporate Secretary by mail at Garmin Ltd., Mühlentalstrasse 36/38, 8200 Schaffhausen, Switzerland. The Company Secretary will make copies of all relevant communications and send them to the appropriate director or directors.

## Insider Trading Policy
Garmin has adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of Garmin's securities that applies to its directors, officers, employees, and other covered persons. Garmin has also implemented procedures for the repurchase of its securities. Garmin believes its insider trading policy and repurchase procedures are reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the listing standards of the NYSE. A copy of Garmin's insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to Garmin's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 27, 2025.

The Code is applicable to all Garmin directors, employees, and officers, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial and accounting officer. A copy of the Code is available on Garmin's website at <u>www.garmin.com/codeofconduct</u>.

## Compensation of Directors
Each Garmin director who is not an officer or employee of Garmin or its subsidiaries (a "Non-Management Director") is compensated for service on the Board and its committees. Garmin's President and Chief Executive Officer receives compensation for his role as a Garmin employee, but he does not receive any additional compensation for his service as a member of the Board. Under Swiss law we are required to include the Executive Chairman's employee compensation in the maximum aggregate compensation for the Board as set forth in Proposal 14, but the Executive Chairman does not receive any compensation for his service on the Board beyond the compensation he receives as a Garmin employee. The Executive Chairman's compensation is not included in the "Non-Management Director Compensation Table" because he is part of Garmin's management, and his compensation is not included in the "Executive Compensation Matters" section of this Proxy Statement because he is not a Named Executive Officer.

The Compensation Committee makes a recommendation to the Board regarding the compensation of the Non-Management Directors, and the Board makes the final determination. Garmin's Executive Chairman and CEO, in their capacities as members of the Board have a role in making determinations regarding the compensation of Non-Management Directors, but no other Garmin executives have any other role in making determinations regarding the compensation of Non-Management Directors. The objective of Garmin's compensation for non-employee directors is to provide fair, reasonable and competitive compensation to attract and retain highly qualified, independent professionals to represent Garmin shareholders.

Each Non-Management Director is paid an annual retainer of $100,000, and each Non-Management Director, who chairs a standing committee of the Board (other than the Audit Committee), also receives an annual retainer of $5,000. The Non-Management Director who chairs the Audit Committee receives an annual retainer of $10,000. Each Non-Management Director also receives an annual award of restricted stock units with a target value of $175,000.

The maximum aggregate compensation for the Board for the period between the Annual General Meeting and the 2027 annual general meeting submitted to shareholders for approval under Proposal 14 reflects this compensation program for Non-Management Directors, and also includes an annual salary for our Executive Chairman.

Garmin does not have formal stock ownership guidelines for its directors.

#### 2025 Non-Management Director Compensation
The following table shows the compensation paid to our Non-Management Directors in 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Fees Earned or<br> Paid in Cash<br> ($)** | **Stock Awards<br> ($)<sup>(1)</sup>** | **Total<br> ($)** |

### Our Compensation Philosophy
Garmin's culture traces its roots to the influence of our founders who embraced a strong set of core values, service to all stakeholders of the Company, and accountability to others. Compensation practices are one of many leadership behaviors that influence the perceptions of every stakeholder. Garmin's management and Compensation Committee consider executive compensation in light of the entire employee population in order to establish compensation practices that are internally equitable and competitive with other companies that compete with us for talent, based on market information, including data obtained from third party compensation data providers, compensation consultants, and through Garmin's recruitment and retention experience. Garmin's Named Executive Officers are therefore compensated using the same elements and approach as the broader group of employees who contribute to Garmin's success.

### Objectives of the Compensation Program
The objectives of Garmin's executive compensation program are to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide compensation to our Named Executive
 Officers that is viewed as internally equitable and fair by both the Named Executive Officers and the broader Garmin employee
 population, while also being externally competitive in order to attract, motivate and retain a highly qualified executive
 team;

• Reward Named Executive Officers for individual performance
 and contribution;

• Provide incentives to Named Executive Officers to
 enhance shareholder value; and

• Reward Named Executive Officers for long-term, sustained
 individual and Company performance.

|:---|:---|
| *What We Do* | *What We Don't Do* |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax18x1.jpg)<br> **Mitigate excessive risk-taking behaviors by Named Executive Officers:**<br> *Garmin's Compensation Committee regularly reviews the risks related to our executive compensation program, and our program includes features that reduce the likelihood of our Named Executive Officers, either individually or as a group, making excessively risky business decisions that could maximize short-term results at the expense of long-term value.*<br> ![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax18x1.jpg)<br> **Use long-term incentives to encourage stock ownership, foster retention of key employees, and link a significant portion of pay to Company performance over time:**<br> *A significant portion of each Named Executive Officer's total direct compensation consists of long-term equity incentive compensation, with a mix of time-based vesting awards and performance-based vesting awards that have their values directly linked to Company performance.*<br> ![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax18x1.jpg)<br> **Recovery of performance-based compensation:**<br> *We have policies for the recovery of certain performance-based compensation received by Named Executive Officers and other covered employees in the event of certain accounting restatements, as described below under "Recovery of Performance-Based Compensation."*<br> ![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax18x1.jpg)<br> **Include double-trigger change of control provisions in equity awards:**<br> *Accelerated vesting of equity awards would only occur following a change of control if a Named Executive Officer resigns with good reason or is terminated without cause within 12 months following the change of control.*<br> ![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax18x1.jpg)<br> **Have a policy that prohibits hedging and pledging of Garmin securities:**<br> *Named Executive Officers are prohibited from engaging in any hedging or pledging transactions involving Garmin securities under the Garmin Ltd. Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy.* | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax23x1.jpg)<br> **No severance agreements:**<br> *We do not have severance agreements with any of our Named Executive Officers that would require us to make cash payments upon termination of their employment.*<br> ![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax23x1.jpg)<br> **No cash payments upon change of control:**<br> *We do not have any separate change of control agreements that would obligate us to make any cash payments to any Named Executive Officers upon a change of control.*<br> ![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax23x1.jpg)<br> **No post-retirement benefit plans. No supplemental executive retirement plans:**<br> *We do not have any post-retirement benefit plans that would provide post-retirement benefits to any of our Named Executive Officers. We do not have any supplemental executive retirement plans.*<br> ![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax23x1.jpg)<br> **No repricing or backdating of underwater equity awards:**<br> *We do not reprice or backdate any underwater equity awards.*<br> ![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax23x1.jpg)<br> **No setting of executive compensation to meet specific benchmarks:**<br> *We do not attempt to set executive compensation to meet specific benchmarks, such as targeting a specific percentile of a compensation component paid by one or more peer groups.* |

---

### Engagement with Our Shareholders
Garmin seeks shareholder input on executive compensation matters through an annual advisory vote to approve Named Executive Officer compensation in accordance with U.S. securities laws. In addition, the maximum prospective aggregate compensation of our Executive Management (which consists of our CEO, CFO and co-COOs) and the maximum prospective aggregate compensation of our Board are each subject to an annual binding vote in accordance with Swiss law. Garmin's management and investor relations team engage with shareholders throughout the year.

### Consideration of Last Year's "Say on Pay" Vote
Garmin provides its shareholders with an annual, advisory "say on pay" vote. At Garmin's 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders, in an advisory, non-binding vote, over 94% of the shares voted were voted in favor of approval of the compensation of Garmin's Named Executive Officers. Although this was an advisory vote and the results were not binding on Garmin or the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee reviewed and considered the results. Considering the strong support demonstrated by our shareholders, the Committee and the Board were encouraged to continue their practices in determining executive compensation, and no changes to executive compensation were made specifically in response to the 2025 "say on pay" vote.

At the 2023 annual general meeting, shareholders voted on the frequency of "say on pay" voting, and voted in favor of an annual advisory "say on pay" vote. The next vote on the frequency of "say on pay" votes is expected to be held at our 2029 annual general meeting.

### How We Determine Executive Compensation

#### Role of the Compensation Committee
As described under "Compensation Committee" above, our Compensation Committee is comprised of the four non-executive members of the Board, each of whom is an independent director under the listing standards of the NYSE and applicable SEC regulations. The Compensation Committee oversees the determination of specific compensation for Named Executive Officers, and evaluates these programs against competitive practices, legal and regulatory developments and corporate governance trends. Pursuant to the Compensation Committee Charter, the Compensation Committee is authorized, among other things, to retain and terminate any consultant, as well as to approve the consultant's fees and other terms of the engagement.

#### Role of Management
Mr. Pemble, our President and Chief Executive Officer, was one of our first employees and brings a unique perspective with regard to the culture of the Company and recruiting trends specific to our target markets. Mr. Pemble discusses with the Compensation Committee compensation recommendations for the other Named Executive Officers and other executives. Dr. Kao discusses with the Compensation Committee compensation matters related to Mr. Pemble. Dr. Kao and Mr. Pemble attend meetings of the Compensation Committee to discuss executive compensation matters, but they are not members of the Compensation Committee and do not vote on Compensation Committee matters. Mr. Pemble and Dr. Kao are not present for certain portions of Compensation Committee meetings, such as when the Compensation Committee discusses their own respective performance and compensation.

#### Role of Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners LLC ("Meridian") in 2022 to assist the Compensation Committee with evaluating and updating, as appropriate, Garmin's focused comparator group, which takes into account company size, market capitalization, revenue, industry, and Garmin's unique culture, which helps to retain talented executives.

The Compensation Committee reviews the comparator group annually and makes changes it deems necessary or appropriate to the comparator group to (a) remove companies that are no longer stand-alone, publicly traded companies, (b) remove companies the Compensation Committee, with input from Garmin management, views as no longer fitting the criteria described above, and (c) add other companies the Compensation Committee, with input from Garmin management, views as being better matches based on those criteria. The 2025 comparator group was the same as it was in 2024.

The Compensation Committee uses the comparator group's executive compensation data primarily to assess the overall competitiveness of Garmin's compensation programs and to obtain information on compensation trends.

The current comparator group consists of the following companies:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Acushnet Holdings Corp. | Teledyne Technologies Incorporated |
| Brunswick Corporation | Textron Inc. |
| Deckers Outdoor Corporation | Trimble Inc. |
| DexCom, Inc. | Visteon Corporation |
| HEICO Corporation | Winnebago Industries, Inc. |
| Logitech International S.A. | YETI Holdings, Inc |
| NetApp, Inc. | Zebra Technologies Corporation |
| Polaris Inc. | |

#### Factors We Consider When Determining Compensation for Individual Executives
In making compensation decisions for individual Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee generally considers the individual's performance both in the preceding year and over the duration of the individual's service as an executive of the Company, tenure, scope of responsibilities, past compensation adjustments, mix of fixed compensation (for example, base salary) versus variable compensation (for example, performance-contingent long-term incentives), and the level of risk associated with the individual's total direct compensation package. The Compensation Committee also factors in overall Company performance, internal equity considerations, retention considerations, and the current business environment.

### Primary Elements of Compensation
The primary elements of total direct compensation for our Named Executive Officers are base salary and long-term equity compensation. Long-term equity compensation includes both time-based vesting awards and performance-based vesting awards, as described in more detail below. We also provide retirement and benefit programs to our Named Executive Officers, consistent with benefit programs provided to other employees, as described below under "Employee Stock Purchase Plan" and "Benefits; Retirement Contributions."

Garmin does not pay an annual cash incentive award or material annual cash bonuses. In 2025, Garmin's Named Executive Officers each received a $358 annual holiday cash bonus. This is the same annual holiday cash bonus that was paid to other Garmin employees.

#### Base Salary
The Compensation Committee believes a competitive base compensation program is an important factor in attracting, motivating and retaining talented employees at all levels of the organization. Named Executive Officers are paid a base salary as compensation for the performance of their primary duties and responsibilities.

The following table shows the base salary in U.S. dollars of each of the Named Executive Officers in 2023, 2024 and 2025, except for 2023 in the case of Mr. Trenkle, who first became a Named Executive Officer in 2024:

| Mr. Boessen | $750577 | $780385 | $800577 |
| Mr. Desbois | $801443 | $875481 | $900577 |
| Mr. Trenkle | $*N/A* | $550962 | $601923 |
| Mr. Straub | $751442 | $825481 | $850577 |

---

#### Long-Term Performance: Restricted Stock Units
Garmin's management and Compensation Committee believe stock ownership is the most important element in achieving the goals of Garmin's compensation program. Stock ownership aligns the long-term interests of employees with those of shareholders, provides long-term retention incentive, and ties compensation to Garmin's performance.

**Time-Based Vesting Restricted Stock Units**

Named Executive Officers are granted awards in the form of full-value restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Garmin Ltd. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan that, unless forfeited, vest over a three-year period. These RSU awards provide a long-term retention incentive, align the interests of Named Executive Officers with those of other shareholders and encourage an appropriate degree of risk-taking that is consistent with long-term growth. The Compensation Committee believes time vesting is an appropriate structure to achieve these objectives.

The following table shows the grant date fair value in U.S. dollars of the RSUs awarded to each of the Named Executive Officers in 2023, 2024 and 2025, except for 2023 in the case of Mr. Trenkle, who first became a Named Executive Officer in 2024:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **2023** | **2024** | **2025** |
| Mr. Pemble | $2699956 | $2899922 | $2999833 |
| Mr. Boessen | $624933 | $825222 | $849792 |
| Mr. Desbois | $850140 | $1000212 | $1074720 |
| Mr. Trenkle | $*N/A* | $699960 | $1000145 |
| Mr. Straub | $749847 | $849771 | $950228 |

---

The value of the RSUs awarded to Mr. Trenkle in 2025 was significantly higher than the value of the RSUs he received in 2024 because 2025 was the first full year in which he served as co-COO, a position that significantly increased his responsibilities.

**Performance-Based Vesting Restricted Stock Units**

Named Executive Officers are also granted performance-contingent RSU awards ("PC-RSUs") under the Garmin Ltd. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. Such awards are valued on the grant date based on target achievement of Company performance criteria, as described below. The values on the vesting dates may differ due to share price fluctuation and achievement against predetermined Company performance criteria, ranging from 0% to 175% of target.

The initial vesting of these awards is contingent upon the achievement of fiscal year revenue and profitability targets established by the Compensation Committee, and thereafter the remaining unvested PC-RSUs are subject to additional time-based vesting. As shown below, for the last three fiscal years, these targets were the Company's operating income and revenue, which are derived from the Company's audited financial statements, without any adjustments. Following the end of the fiscal year in which the PC-RSU awards were granted, the Compensation Committee determines whether each of the performance targets were achieved (the date such determination is made, the "Certification Date"). The percentage of the PC-RSUs that corresponds with the weighting attributed to each performance target that was achieved, if any, will, if not forfeited, vest in three equal installments, first within 30 days of the Certification Date and then on each of the first and second anniversary of the Certification Date.

GARMIN LTD. - *2026 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* 24

The Compensation Committee believes the performance-based element of these PC-RSU awards further aligns the interests of Garmin's Named Executive Officers with the interests of Garmin's shareholders, and that the time-based element furthers the objective of retaining Named Executive Officers.

The following table shows the grant date fair value in U.S. dollars of the PC-RSUs awarded to each of the Named Executive Officers in 2023, 2024 and 2025, except for 2023 in the case of Mr. Trenkle, who first became a Named Executive Officer in 2024:

| Mr. Pemble | $2450067 | $2900152 | $3300252 |
| Mr. Boessen | $625057 | $649899 | $850085 |
| Mr. Desbois | $849944 | $1000025 | $1075282 |

| Mr. Straub | $700019 | $800177 | $875107 |

#### Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Garmin offers a discounted stock purchase plan to employees. This plan allows employees to purchase Garmin shares at a per share price equal to 85% of the lesser of (a) the per share closing price of Garmin's shares on the last stock trading day of the offering period, and (b) the per share closing price of Garmin's shares on the first stock trading day of the offering period. Named Executive Officers can participate in this program under the same terms and conditions as all other employees. The plan provides limits on the percentage of salary an employee, including Named Executive Officers, may contribute to the plan and on the total value of Garmin shares that an employee, including Named Executive Officers, may purchase under the plan in any one calendar year.

#### Benefits; Retirement Contributions
In 2025, for all U.S. employees, including the Named Executive Officers employed by Garmin in the U.S., (a) for every dollar the employee contributed to the Garmin Retirement Plan up to 10% of the employee's salary per payroll period, Garmin contributed 75 cents, and (b) Garmin made an additional contribution equal to 5% of the employee's salary, whether or not the employee contributed to the plan. For 2025, 2024 and 2023, no salary in excess of U.S. $350,000, $345,000, and $330,000, respectively, was taken into account for any of the NEOs for either of the foregoing contributions.

### Other Considerations

#### Stock Ownership Guidelines
Garmin does not have formal stock ownership guidelines for executives. However, Garmin executives receive a large portion of their total direct compensation in equity awards, and, as set forth in the "Stock Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" table in this Proxy Statement, each of the Named Executive Officers owns a significant number of Garmin shares.

#### Policy Regarding Hedging and Pledging of Garmin Securities
Pursuant to the Garmin Ltd. Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy, Garmin prohibits members of the Board and Named Executive Officers from engaging in any transactions pursuant to which they would hedge the economic risk of Garmin stock ownership or pledge Garmin securities as collateral for a loan.

#### Recovery of Performance-Based Compensation
Garmin maintains and operates the Garmin Ltd. Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy (the "Compensation Recovery Policy"), effective October 2, 2023, in accordance with SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. Under the Compensation Recovery Policy, in the event Garmin is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. federal securities laws, then, subject to limited exceptions, Garmin shall recover certain excess incentive compensation received by Named Executive Officers and other covered employees during the recoupment period.

For purposes of the Compensation Recovery Policy, (a) "excess incentive compensation" means the amount of certain performance-based compensation received that exceeds the amount that otherwise would have been received if the determination of the compensation to be received had been determined based on restated amounts in the accounting restatement, without regard to taxes paid, and (b) "recoupment period" means the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which the determination was made that Garmin is required to prepare the accounting restatement.

With respect to certain PC-RSU awards that were outstanding prior to the effective date of the Compensation Recovery Policy, pursuant to a separate clawback policy (the "Predecessor Clawback Policy"), in the event of an accounting restatement of Garmin's financial statements due to misconduct resulting in Garmin's material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under U.S. federal securities laws, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to require reimbursement or forfeiture of any compensation received by any Named Executive Officer or other covered employee under those awards during the three-year period preceding the date on which Garmin is required to prepare the accounting restatement. In determining the amount to be recovered under the Predecessor Clawback Policy, the Compensation Committee may consider, in addition to other factors, the excess of the performance-based compensation received based on the erroneous data over the performance-based compensation that would have been received had it been based on the restated amounts, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

#### Grant Practices Specific to Stock Option Awards
During 2025, none of our Named Executive Officers received any grants of any stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar equity awards that include an exercise price (collectively, "Option Awards").

Garmin has not granted any Option Awards to any employees, including Named Executive Officers, since 2014. The Compensation Committee does not currently have plans to grant Option Awards to any employees, including Named Executive Officers, in the future as part of Garmin's equity compensation programs. For these reasons, Garmin does not currently have policies or practices on the timing of Option Awards, as described in Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K. In the event the Compensation Committee decides in the future to include Option Awards as part of our compensation programs, such policies and practices would be adopted at that time and disclosed in accordance with Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K.

Named Executive Officers receive RSU awards in December and PC-RSUs in February of each year. The RSU awards are granted in December because the value of the award for each Named Executive Officer takes into account that Named Executive Officer's performance throughout the year. The PC-RSU awards are granted in February because they are conditioned on the Company's achievement of fiscal year revenue and profitability targets for the full year that are established by the Compensation Committee as its February meeting.

GARMIN LTD. - *2026 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* 26

#### Severance Agreements
Garmin does not have severance agreements with any of its Named Executive Officers.

#### Change of Control Benefits
If a Named Executive Officer's employment is terminated without cause, or the Named Executive Officer resigns with good reason, within twelve months following a change of control of Garmin, all of the Named Executive Officer's unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs), if any, would immediately become exercisable and all of the Named Executive Officer's unvested RSUs and PC-RSUs would immediately become payable.

"Cause" generally includes certain conduct by the Named Executive Officer, such as a conviction or plea of guilty to a felony or certain other crimes, willful actions or omissions that are grounds for immediate dismissal under certain employment policies, a habitual neglect of duties, and willful and intentional material misconduct in the Named Executive Officer's performance of their duties that results in financial detriment. However, "Cause" generally does not (other than with respect to crimes) include bad judgment, negligence, or acts or omissions that the Named Executive Officer believed, in good faith, to have been in or at least not opposed to the interests of the Company. "Good Reason" generally includes certain actions by the Company, including a material diminution in the Named Executive Officer's position, authority or duties, requiring the Named Executive Officer to move more than 50 miles from their current location, or a material diminution in aggregate compensation (other than broad-based reductions applicable to all similarly-situated employees).

If a Named Executive Officer's employment is terminated without cause, or the Named Executive Officer resigns with good reason, after the Certification Date for PC-RSUs and within twelve months following a change of control of Garmin, all of the Named Executive Officer's PC-RSUs that were earned pursuant to the performance-based vesting element but not yet vested due to the time-based vesting element would immediately become payable. If the Named Executive Officer's employment is terminated without cause, or the Named Executive Officers resigns with good reason, prior to the Certification Date and within twelve months after a change of control of Garmin, then all of the Named Executive Officer's PC-RSUs that would have been earned as of the Certification Date pursuant to the performance-based element but for the termination of employment will become payable within 30 days of the Certification Date.

Such vesting treatment is the only benefit that would be received by the Named Executive Officers in connection with a change of control, and such benefit would also be received by all other Garmin employees who own unvested RSUs or PC-RSUs. This change of control protection is designed to provide adequate protection for Named Executive Officers and other Garmin employees who own unvested equity awards so that they may focus their efforts on effective leadership, rather than significant compensation loss, during a time that Garmin is considering or undertaking a change of control, and to provide Named Executive Officers and other Garmin employees who own unvested equity awards with incentives to remain with Garmin during a time that Garmin is considering or undertaking a change of control.

## CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K we are providing the following information about the relationship of the median of the annual total compensation of our employees (on a worldwide basis) and the annual total compensation of our PEO, Mr. Pemble.

For 2025, the respective annual total compensation for our median employee and for Mr. Pemble, and the ratio of Mr. Pemble's annual total compensation to the median employee's annual total compensation, are set forth below.

Median employee annual total compensation: $46,356.

Mr. Pemble (PEO) annual total compensation: $7,744,354, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement.

Based on this information, for 2025 the ratio of annual total compensation of our PEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee was approximately 167:1. We note that, due to our permitted use of reasonable estimates and assumptions in preparing this pay ratio disclosure, the disclosure may involve a degree of imprecision, and thus this ratio disclosure is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K using the data and assumptions described below.

In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we identified the median employee for 2023, and used that same median employee for 2024. To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, we prepared a listing of all employees as of October 1, 2023. We selected that date to allow sufficient time to identify the median employee given the global scope of our operations. Gross earnings for 2023, as reported to applicable tax authorities, for example, the Internal Revenue Service for our U.S. employees, were then calculated for each of those employees, other than our PEO. Gross earnings for 2023 were annualized for those permanent employees who were hired between January 1, 2023 and October 1, 2023 and for those whose employment terminated between October 2, 2023 and December 31, 2023. Gross earnings paid in currencies other than U.S. dollars were converted to U.S. Dollars using the average 2023 currency exchange rate for each applicable currency. The median employee was then selected from the annualized list.

Because the original median employee identified for 2023 received a promotion and a significant increase in compensation for 2025, as permitted under Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K we identified another employee whose compensation was substantially similar to the original median employee for 2023, and used that other employee as our median employee for 2025.

The median employee's total annual compensation for 2025 was calculated using the same methodology we used to calculate total annual compensation for our PEO and other Named Executive Officers, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table in this Proxy Statement. We then compared the median employee's total annual compensation for 2025 to our PEO's total annual compensation for 2025 to calculate the pay ratio set forth above. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the "median employee."

The Board's dividend proposal has been confirmed to comply with Swiss law and Garmin's Articles of Association by Garmin's statutory auditor, Ernst & Young Ltd, a state-supervised auditing enterprise, representatives of which will be present at the Annual Meeting. The Board proposes the following resolutions with respect to the dividend:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Reserve from Capital Contribution as per December 27, 2025 | $2806743000 |
| *Resolutions proposed by the Board of Directors:* |  |
| • *RESOLVED, that Garmin, out of, and limited at a maximum to the amount of, the Dividend Reserve (as defined below), pay a cash dividend in the amount of $4.20 per outstanding share<sup>1</sup> out of Garmin's reserve from capital contribution payable in four equal installments at the dates to be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion, the record date and payment date for each such installment to be announced in a press release<sup>2</sup> at least ten calendar days prior to the record date; and further* |  |
| • *RESOLVED, that the cash dividend shall be made with respect to the outstanding share capital of Garmin on the record date for the applicable installment, which amount will exclude any shares of Garmin held by Garmin or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries; and further* |  |
| • *RESOLVED, that $900,442,000<sup>3</sup> be allocated to dividend reserves from capital contribution (the "Dividend Reserve") from the reserve from capital contribution in order to pay such dividend of $4.20 per outstanding share<sup>4</sup>; and further* | $(900442000) |
| • *RESOLVED that if the aggregate dividend payment is lower than the Dividend Reserve, the relevant difference will be allocated back to the reserve from capital contribution; and further* |  |
| • *RESOLVED, that to the extent that any installment payment would exceed the Dividend Reserve then remaining, the U.S. dollar per share amount of that installment payment shall be reduced on a pro rata basis, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of that installment payment shall in no event exceed the then remaining Dividend Reserve* |  |
| • *Reserve from Capital Contribution after Dividend Reserve Allocation* | $1906301000 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(1)* *In no event will the dividend payment exceed a total of $4.20 per outstanding share.* 

*(2)* *The announcements will not be published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce.* 

*(3)* *The amount of the Dividend Reserve, calculated on the basis of the Company's issued shares as at December 27, 2025, includes a margin to accommodate new share issuance (see footnote 4 below) that may occur between the time when the dividend is approved by shareholders and when the last installment payment is made. Any unused portion of the Dividend Reserve will be returned to the reserve from capital contribution after the last installment payment.* 

*(4)* *Assuming a total of 194,900,965 shares eligible to receive the dividend, based on the registered share capital as at December 27, 2025. The number of shares eligible for dividend payments may change due to the issuance of new shares or the reissuance of treasury shares, including (without limitation) from the capital band or the conditional share capital reserved for the share incentive plans, or the cancellation of existing shares as a result of share repurchases.* 

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE PAYMENT OF A CASH DIVIDEND IN THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF $4.20 PER OUTSTANDING SHARE OUT OF GARMIN'S RESERVE FROM CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION IN FOUR EQUAL INSTALLMENTS.

# PROPOSAL FOUR &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discharge of the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management from liability for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025
In accordance with Article 698, paragraph 2, item 7 of the Swiss Code of Obligations, it is customary for Swiss companies to request shareholders at the annual general meeting to discharge the members of the Board and the Executive Management from personal liability for their activities during the preceding fiscal year. This discharge is only effective with respect to facts that have been disclosed to shareholders and only binds shareholders who either voted in favor of the proposal or who subsequently acquired shares with knowledge that shareholders have approved this proposal.

Ernst & Young LLP has acted as Garmin's independent registered public accounting firm since 2000 and has been appointed by the Audit Committee to audit and certify Garmin's financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 26, 2026.

Ernst & Young Ltd was re-elected as Garmin's statutory auditor for 2025. Swiss law and our Articles of Association require that our shareholders elect annually a firm as statutory auditor. The statutory auditor's main task is to audit our consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements that are required under Swiss law. The Audit Committee and Board propose that Ernst & Young Ltd be re-elected as Garmin's statutory auditor for another one-year term.

Representatives of Ernst & Young Ltd will be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Although the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is not required, we value the opinions of Garmin's shareholders. If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to appoint Ernst & Young LLP as Garmin's registered independent public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 26, 2026.

# PROPOSAL THIRTEEN &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Binding vote to approve Fiscal Year 2027 maximum aggregate compensation for the Executive Management
Pursuant to Swiss law and Article 22(a) of our Articles of Association, the shareholders must annually approve the maximum aggregate compensation of the Executive Management for the next fiscal year.

Pursuant to Article 23.1 of the Organizational Regulations of Garmin, the Executive Management consists of the Chief Executive Officer and such other officers expressly designated by the Board to be members of the Executive Management. The Board has designated the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the co-Chief Operating Officers to be the members of Executive Management.

The Board proposes that the amount of $19,000,000 be approved as the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Executive Management for the fiscal year commencing on December 27, 2026 and ending on December 25, 2027. Such maximum aggregate amount includes all forms of cash, stock and other compensation and is based on the expected fiscal year 2027 compensation of the Executive Management. This amount represents the maximum possible amount that Garmin could pay to the Executive Management in the 2027 fiscal year and not necessarily the actual amount that will be paid. Actual 2027 fiscal year compensation for the Executive Management will be determined by the Compensation Committee based on company and individual performance and other relevant factors.

To the extent that such grants of restricted stock units are subject to the achievement of performance targets, such grants are valued based on target achievement of performance criteria. The value on the vesting date may differ due to share price fluctuation and achievement against predetermined performance criteria ranging from 0% to 175% of target.*

# AUDIT MATTERS

## Report of Audit Committee
This report is submitted by the Audit Committee.

The Board pursues its responsibility for oversight of Garmin's financial reporting process through the Audit Committee. The Board, in its business judgment, has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are independent and financially literate as required by the applicable listing standards of the NYSE. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Board, as amended and restated on July 25, 2025, a copy of which is available on Garmin's website at www.garmin.com/investors/governance. The Audit Committee and the Board annually review and assess the adequacy of the Audit Committee Charter.

The Audit Committee meets regularly with the independent auditor, management and Garmin's internal auditors. The independent auditor and Garmin's internal auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee, with and without the presence of management representatives, to discuss the scope and results of their work and their comments on the adequacy of internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting.

In performing its oversight function, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed Garmin's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, with management and with Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm retained by Garmin to audit its financial statements, and with Ernst & Young Ltd, its statutory auditor. The Audit Committee received and reviewed management's representation and the opinion of the independent registered public accounting firm and the statutory auditor that Garmin's audited financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm and the statutory auditor during the 2025 fiscal year the matters required to be discussed by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC.

The Audit Committee received from Ernst & Young LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Ernst & Young LLP's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the independence of its firm. The Audit Committee considered whether the non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young LLP, as well as its affiliates, including Ernst & Young Ltd (collectively, "EY"), are compatible with its independence.

Based upon the review and discussions referenced above, the Audit Committee recommended to Garmin's Board, and the Board approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our 2025 Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, for filing with the SEC.

**Audit Committee**

Joseph J. Hartnett, *Chair*

Susan M. Ball

Catherine A. Lewis

## Annual Evaluation and Selection of Independent Auditors
The Audit Committee annually evaluates the performance of Garmin's independent auditors and determines whether to recommend reengagement of the current independent auditors or consider other audit firms. Factors considered by the Audit Committee include the auditors' independence, global capabilities, technical expertise and knowledge of Garmin's global operations and industry, quality of communication with the Audit Committee and management, quality and efficiency of services provided, external data on audit quality and performance, and the appropriateness of fees. Additionally, the Audit Committee considers the benefits of longer auditor tenure and the controls and processes that ensure continued auditor independence.

The Audit Committee believes the benefits of longer tenure include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enhanced audit quality associated with deep institutional knowledge;

• competitive fees that can be achieved due to the independent auditors'
 familiarity with Garmin; and

• the avoidance of incremental time and costs that would be incurred in the engagement of new
 independent auditors.

The Audit Committee also considers the following controls and processes that ensure the continued independence of Ernst & Young LLP:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• oversight by the Audit Committee, including regular private sessions;

• limits on non-audit services, including pre-approval for all audit and
 permissible non-audit services;

• Ernst & Young LLP's internal independence process, including
 periodic internal reviews and partner rotations; and

• a robust regulatory framework, including periodic Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
 (the "PCAOB") inspections, peer reviews, and PCAOB and SEC oversight.

Based on this evaluation, the Audit Committee believes that retaining Ernst & Young LLP and Ernst & Young Ltd to serve as Garmin's independent registered public accounting firm and statutory auditor, respectively, for the fiscal year ending December 26, 2026 is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

## Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to Garmin and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 and the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 by EY:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

| All Other Fees<sup>(3)(4)</sup> | 157 | 7 |
| **TOTAL:** | $**4258** | $**3748** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(1)* *Audit Fees consisted of fees for the integrated audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and internal controls, reviews of the Company's quarterly consolidated financial statements, and audit services provided in connection with other statutory and regulatory filings.* 

*(2)* *Tax Fees consisted of tax consulting and compliance services.* 

*(3)* *In 2025, All Other Fees consisted primarily of fees for environmental, social and governance regulatory readiness consultation services and online research subscription fees. In 2024, All Other Fees consisted of online research subscription fees.* 

*(4)* *The Audit Committee concluded that the provision of these services is compatible with maintaining the independence of EY.* 

### Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Auditor
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires advance approval by the Audit Committee of all audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services performed by EY. The policy provides for pre-approval by the Audit Committee annually of specifically defined services up to specifically defined fee levels. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before EY is engaged to perform it. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Audit Committee Chair authority to approve permitted services provided that the Chair reports any such approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next meeting. The Audit Committee pre-approved all services that EY rendered to Garmin and its subsidiaries in 2025.

# GENERAL INFORMATION

### Information Concerning Solicitation and Voting
The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board for use at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at the offices of Bär & Karrer AG, Brandschenkestrasse 90, 8002 Zurich, Switzerland, at 5:00 p.m. Central European Summer Time on Friday, June 5, 2026, and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. This proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") and the accompanying proxy card are first being furnished to shareholders on or about April ___, 2026.

We are sending the Notice to our beneficial owners of shares held in "street name" through a broker or other nominee ("Broker Customers") and to participants in the Garmin International, Inc. Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan") with a beneficial interest in our shares ("Plan Participants"), and we are mailing our proxy materials to shareholders whose shares are held directly in their names with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (such holders, "Record Holders").

### Shareholders Entitled to Exercise Voting Rights
April 10, 2026 is the record date (the "Record Date") for the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were _________ shares (excluding shares held by Garmin or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries) outstanding and entitled to exercise voting rights with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders registered in our share register at the close of business, U.S. Eastern Time, on the Record Date are entitled to exercise voting rights with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting, except as provided below. Any additional shareholders who are registered in Garmin's share register on May 22, 2026 will receive a copy of the proxy materials after May 22, 2026 and are entitled to exercise voting rights by giving instructions to our independent voting rights representative (in the manner as further set out in this Proxy Statement) with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders not registered in Garmin's share register as of May 22, 2026 will not be entitled to exercise voting rights with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

No shareholder will be entered in Garmin's share register as a shareholder with voting rights between the close of business on May 22, 2026 and the opening of business on the day following the Annual Meeting. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., which maintains Garmin's share register, will, however, continue to register transfers of Garmin's shares in the share register in its capacity as transfer agent during this period. Shareholders who are registered in Garmin's share register on May 22, 2026 but have sold their shares before the Annual Meeting date are not entitled to exercise voting rights with respect to the matters to be resolved upon at the Annual Meeting.

### Solicitation of Proxies
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by Garmin. In addition to soliciting shareholders by mail and through its regular employees not specifically engaged or compensated for that purpose, Garmin will request banks and brokers, and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to solicit their customers who have shares of Garmin registered in the names of such persons and, if requested, will reimburse them for their reasonable, out-of-pocket costs. Garmin engaged Georgeson LLC, an independent proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies on Garmin's behalf. Garmin has agreed to pay Georgeson a fee of $18,500 plus costs and expenses, for these services. Garmin may also use the services of its officers, directors and others to solicit proxies, personally or by telephone, facsimile, video conference, or electronic mail, without additional compensation.

### Voting
Each shareholder is entitled to one vote on each proposal presented in this Proxy Statement for each share held. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. The required quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting is the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders holding not less than a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting with abstentions, invalid ballots and broker non-votes regarded as present for purposes of establishing the quorum.

A shareholder who purchases shares from a registered holder after the Record Date but on or before May 22, 2026 and who wishes to exercise voting rights with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting must ask to be registered as a shareholder with respect to such shares in our share register prior to May 22, 2026. Registered holders of our shares (as opposed to beneficial shareholders) on May 22, 2026 who sell their shares prior to the Annual Meeting will not be entitled to exercise voting rights with respect to those shares in relation to the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Proposals 1 through 14 each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the share votes cast (in person or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting, excluding unmarked, invalid and non-exercisable votes and abstentions.

Members of our Board and members of Executive Management (which consists of our CEO, our CFO and our co-COOs) are not allowed to exercise their shareholder voting rights with respect to Proposal 4, the proposal to discharge the members of the Board and the Executive Management from liability for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025.

GARMIN LTD. - *2026 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* 52

[Back to Contents](#toc)

Shareholder ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Garmin's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 26, 2026 is not required by law or by our organizational regulations (the "Organizational Regulations"), but shareholders' views are important to the Audit Committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee") and the Board. If shareholders do not ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, our Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Garmin's independent registered public accounting firm.

Proposals 10 and 11 are advisory and non-binding on Garmin. However, our Board will review voting results on these proposals and will give consideration to such results.

### Broker Non-Votes
Although brokers have discretionary authority to exercise voting rights with respect to shares of Broker Customers on "routine" matters, they do not have authority to exercise voting rights with respect to shares of Broker Customers on "non-routine" matters pursuant to applicable NYSE rules. We believe that the following proposals to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting will be considered to be "non-routine" under NYSE rules and, therefore, brokers will not be able to exercise voting rights with respect to shares owned by Broker Customers in relation to these proposals unless the broker receives instructions from such customers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proposal No. 4 (discharge of the members of the Board and Executive Management
 from liability for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025);

• Proposal No. 5 (re-election of six directors);

• Proposal No. 6 (re-election of the Chairman);

• Proposal No. 7 (re-election of four Compensation Committee members);

• Proposal No. 10 (advisory vote to approve compensation of Garmin's
 Named Executive Officers);

• Proposal No. 11 (advisory vote on the Swiss Statutory Compensation Report);

• Proposal No. 13 (binding vote to approve Fiscal Year 2027 maximum aggregate
 compensation for the Executive Management);

• Proposal No. 14 (binding vote to approve maximum aggregate compensation for the Board for
 the period between the 2026 annual general meeting and the 2027 annual general meeting).

### How Shareholders Vote
Shareholders, Plan Participants and Broker Customers may exercise voting rights (or in the case of Plan Participants, may direct the trustee of the Garmin International, Inc. Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan") to exercise voting rights) with respect to their shares as follows:

### Shares of Record
Shareholders may only vote their shares if they or their proxies are present at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders may appoint as their proxy the independent voting rights representative, the law firm of Wuersch & Gering LLP, Wall Street Plaza, 88 Pine Street, 20<sup>th</sup> Floor, New York, NY 10005, USA, to vote their shares by checking the appropriate box on the enclosed proxy card and the independent voting rights representative will vote all shares for which it is the proxy as specified by the shareholders on the proxy card. A registered shareholder desiring to name as proxy someone other than the independent voting rights representative may do so by crossing out the name of the independent voting rights representative on the proxy card and inserting the full name of such other person. In that case, the shareholder must sign the proxy card and deliver it to the person named, and the person named must be present, present appropriate identification and vote at the Annual Meeting. Shares owned by shareholders who have timely submitted a properly executed proxy card and specifically indicated their votes will be voted as indicated. Shares owned by shareholders who have timely submitted a properly executed proxy card and have not specifically indicated their votes instruct the independent voting rights representative to vote in the manner recommended by the Board. If any modifications to agenda items or proposals identified in the invitation to the Annual Meeting or other matters on which voting is permissible under Swiss law are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, you instruct the independent voting rights representative, in the absence of other specific instructions, to vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board.

We urge you to return your proxy card by 5:00 p.m., U.S. Eastern Time, on June 3, 2026 to ensure that your proxy can be timely submitted.

Shareholders may also grant a written proxy to a third party, who need not be a shareholder but who must present appropriate identification and the shareholder's written proxy and participate in person and exercise the shareholder's rights at the Annual Meeting.

### Shares Held Under the Garmin International, Inc. Retirement Plan
On the voting instructions card, Plan Participants may instruct the trustee of the Retirement Plan how to vote the shares allocated to their respective participant accounts. The trustee will vote all allocated shares accordingly. Shares for which inadequate or no voting instructions are received will not be voted by the trustee. The trustee of the Retirement Plan will vote shares allocated to the accounts of the Plan Participants by giving instructions to the independent voting rights representative accordingly.

### Shares Held Through a Broker or Other Nominee
Each broker or nominee must solicit from the Broker Customers directions on how to vote the shares, and the broker or nominee must then vote such shares through voting instructions relayed to the independent voting rights representative in accordance with such directions. Brokers or nominees are to forward the Notice to the Broker Customers, at the reasonable expense of Garmin if the broker or nominee requests reimbursement. See "Broker Non-Votes."

### Revoking Proxy Authorizations or Instructions
Until the polls for a particular proposal on the agenda close (or in the case of Plan Participants, until the trustee of the Retirement Plan votes), voting instructions or votes of Record Holders and voting instructions of Plan Participants may be revoked or recast with a later-dated, properly executed and delivered proxy card or, in the case of Plan Participants, a voting instruction card. Otherwise, shareholders may not revoke a vote, unless: (a) in the case of a Record Holder, the Record Holder or his or her properly appointed proxy either (i) attends the Annual Meeting and casts a ballot at the meeting or (ii) delivers a written revocation to the independent voting rights representative at any time before the Chairman of the Annual Meeting closes the polls for a particular proposal on the agenda; (b) in the case of a Plan Participant, the revocation procedures of the trustee of the Retirement Plan are followed; or (c) in the case of a Broker Customer, the revocation procedures of the broker or nominee are followed.

### Attendance and Voting in Person at the Annual Meeting
Attendance at the Annual Meeting is limited to Record Holders or their properly appointed proxies, beneficial owners of shares having evidence of such ownership, and guests of Garmin. Plan Participants may only vote by instructing the trustee of the Retirement Plan how to vote the shares allocated to their respective participant accounts, and they may not cast a ballot in person at the Annual General Meeting. Broker Customers may only vote by instructing their broker on how to vote their shares, unless they have obtained a legal proxy from their broker that authorizes them to cast their ballot in person at the Annual Meeting. Security measures will be in place at the meeting, and briefcases, handbags and packages are subject to inspection. No cameras (including mobile phone cameras) or recording devices of any kind, or signs, placards, banners or similar materials, may be used during the meeting. Anyone who refuses to comply with these requirements will not be admitted, or, if admitted, will be required to leave.

A shareholder of record can request in writing for an item to be put on the agenda for an annual general meeting in accordance with Swiss law, provided that we receive such requests by the date that is 90 calendar days in advance of the anniversary of the date that we filed our proxy statement for the previous year's annual general meeting with the SEC. In order for a shareholder proposal that is not included in the Proxy Statement for the 2027 annual general meeting to be properly brought before the meeting, such proposal must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary and received at Garmin's executive offices in Schaffhausen, Switzerland no later than January 22, 2027, and specify the relevant agenda items and motions, together with evidence of the required shareholdings recorded in the share register, and must also comply with the procedures outlined in this Proxy Statement under the heading "Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee." The determination that any such proposal has been properly brought before such meeting is made by the director presiding over such meeting.

### Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires Garmin's directors, executive officers and certain other officers, and persons, legal or natural, who own more than 10 percent of Garmin's shares (collectively "Reporting Persons"), to file reports of their ownership of such shares, and the changes therein, with the SEC and Garmin (the "Section 16 Reports").

The Compensation Committee makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation of the four non-executive directors, and the Board of Directors makes the final determination. The objective of Garmin's compensation for non-executive directors is to provide fair, reasonable and competitive compensation to attract and retain highly qualified, independent professionals to represent Garmin shareholders.

**ANNUAL RETAINERS AND EQUITY AWARD FOR NON-EXECUTIVE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS**

The table below shows the annual retainers and target equity awards for each of 2025 and 2024 for non-executive members of the Board of Directors:

The Company does not grant loans or guarantees to non-executive members of the Board of Directors.

No non-executive members of the Board of Directors, or related parties to any of them, received any fees or remunerations for services rendered to the Company or its subsidiaries, other than the remuneration paid to the non-executive members of the Board of Directors included in this Compensation Report. A related party includes a spouse, children below the age of eighteen, legal or natural person acting as a fiduciary and legal entities controlled by a non-executive member of the Board.

### Remuneration of Executive Management

#### The Company's Executive Management Compensation Philosophy
Garmin's Executive Management consists of its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and two co-Chief Operating Officers.

Garmin's culture traces its roots to the influence of its founders who embraced a strong set of core values, service to all stakeholders of the Company, and accountability to others. Compensation practices are one of many leadership behaviors that influence the perceptions of every stakeholder. The Compensation Committee and the Company's management considers Executive Management compensation in light of the entire employee population in order to establish compensation practices that are internally equitable and competitive with other companies that compete with us for talent, based on market information, including data obtained from third party compensation data providers, compensation consultants, and through Garmin's recruitment and retention experience. Members of Executive Management are therefore compensated using the same elements and approach as the broader group of employees who contribute to Garmin's success.

GARMIN LTD. - *2026 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* A-2

[Back to Contents](#toc)

#### Objectives of the Compensation Program
The objectives of Garmin's Executive Management compensation program are to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide Executive Management compensation that is viewed as internally equitable and fair by the
Executive Management team and the broader Garmin employee population, while also being externally competitive in order to attract,
motivate and retain a highly qualified Executive Management team;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reward Executive Management members for individual performance and contribution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide incentives to Executive Management to enhance shareholder value; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reward Executive Management members for long-term, sustained individual and Company performance.

### Engagement with our Shareholders
Garmin seeks shareholder input on executive compensation matters through an annual advisory vote on executive compensation in accordance with U.S. securities laws. In addition, the maximum prospective aggregate compensation of our Executive Management and the maximum prospective aggregate compensation of our Board of Directors are each subject to an annual binding vote in accordance with Swiss law.

GARMIN LTD. - *2026 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* A-3

[Back to Contents](#toc)

### How We Determine Executive Management Compensation

#### Role of the Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee is comprised of the four non-executive members of the Board, each of whom is an independent director under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the applicable rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Compensation Committee oversees the determination of specific compensation for Executive Management, and evaluates these programs against competitive practices, legal and regulatory developments and corporate governance trends. Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee is authorized to retain and terminate any consultant, as well as to approve the consultant's fees and other terms of the engagement.

#### Role of Executive Management
Mr. Pemble, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is the only member of Executive Management who has a role with respect to the compensation of members of Executive Management. Mr. Pemble was one of our first employees and brings a unique perspective with regard to the culture of the Company and recruiting trends specific to our target markets. Mr. Pemble attends meetings of the Compensation Committee to discuss Executive Management compensation matters, but he is not a member of the Compensation Committee and he does not vote on Compensation Committee matters. Dr. Kao, our Executive Chairman, discusses with the Compensation Committee compensation matters related to Mr. Pemble. Mr. Pemble is not present for certain portions of Compensation Committee meetings, such as when the Compensation Committee and Dr. Kao discuss Mr. Pemble's performance and the Compensation Committee determines his compensation.

#### Role of Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners LLC ("Meridian") in 2022 to assist the Compensation Committee with evaluating and updating, as appropriate, Garmin's focused comparator group, which takes into account company size, market capitalization, revenue, industry, and Garmin's unique culture, which helps to retain talented executives.

The Compensation Committee reviews the comparator group annually and makes changes to the comparator group to (a) remove companies that are no longer stand-alone, publicly traded companies, (b) remove companies the Compensation Committee, with input from Garmin management, views as no longer fitting the criteria described above, and (c) add other companies the Compensation Committee, with input from Garmin management, views as being better matches based on those criteria.

The current comparator group consists of the following companies:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Acushnet Holdings Corp. | Teledyne Technologies Incorporated |
| Brunswick Corporation | Textron Inc. |
| Deckers Outdoor Corporation | Trimble Inc. |
| DexCom, Inc. | Visteon Corporation |
| HEICO Corporation | Winnebago Industries, Inc. |
| Logitech International S.A. | YETI Holdings, Inc |
| NetApp, Inc. | Zebra Technologies Corporation |
| Polaris Inc. | |

---

The Compensation Committee uses the comparator group's executive compensation data primarily to assess the overall competitiveness of Garmin's compensation programs and to obtain information on compensation trends.

**Factors the Compensation Committee Considers when Determining Compensation for Individual Members of Executive Management** 

In making compensation decisions for individual members of Executive Management, the Compensation Committee generally considers the individual's performance both in the preceding year and over the duration of the individual's service as a member of Executive Management, tenure, scope of responsibilities, past compensation adjustments, mix of fixed compensation (e.g. base salary) versus variable compensation (e.g. performance-contingent long-term incentives), and the level of risk associated with the individual's total direct compensation package. The Compensation Committee also factors in overall Company performance, internal equity considerations, retention considerations, and the current business environment.

GARMIN LTD. - *2026 Proxy Statement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* A-4

[Back to Contents](#toc)

### Elements of Compensation
The primary elements of total direct compensation for Executive Management are base salary and long-term equity compensation. Long-term equity compensation includes both time-based vesting awards and performance-based vesting awards, as described in more detail below. We also provide retirement and benefit programs to Executive Management, consistent with benefit programs provided to other employees.

Garmin does not pay an annual cash incentive award or material annual cash bonuses. In 2025, members of Executive Management each received a $358 annual holiday cash bonus. This is the same annual holiday cash bonus that was paid to other Garmin employees.

**Base Salary**

The Compensation Committee believes a competitive base compensation program is an important factor in attracting, motivating and retaining talented employees at all levels of the organization, including Executive Management. Executive Management members are paid a base salary as compensation for the performance of their primary duties and responsibilities.

#### Long-Term Performance: Restricted Stock Units
The Compensation Committee believes stock ownership is the most important element in achieving the goals of Garmin's compensation program. Stock ownership aligns the long-term interests of Executive Management with those of shareholders, provides long-term retention incentive, and ties compensation to Garmin's performance.

**Time-Based Vesting Restricted Stock Units**

Executive Management members are granted awards in the form of full value restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan that, unless forfeited, vest over a three-year period. These awards provide a long-term retention incentive, align the interests of Executive Management with those of other shareholders and encourages an appropriate degree of risk-taking that is consistent with long-term growth. The Compensation Committee believes time vesting is an appropriate structure to achieve these objectives.

**Performance-Based Vesting Restricted Stock Units**

Members of Executive Management are also granted performance-contingent RSU awards under the Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. Such grants are valued on the grant date based on target achievement of Company performance criteria, as described below. The values on the vesting dates may differ due to share price fluctuation and achievement against predetermined Company performance criteria ranging from 0% to 175% of target.

The initial vesting of these awards is solely contingent upon the achievement of certain fiscal year revenue and profitability targets established by the Compensation Committee, and thereafter the remaining unvested shares are subject to time-based vesting requirements ("PC-RSUs"). For 2025 and 2024 these targets were the Company's operating income and revenue, which are derived from Garmin's audited financial statements, without any adjustments. Following the end of the fiscal year in which the PC-RSU awards were granted, the Compensation Committee determines whether each of the performance targets for these PC-RSU awards was achieved (the "Certification Date"). The percentage of the PC-RSUs that corresponds with the weighting attributed to each performance target that was achieved will, if not forfeited, vest in three equal installments within 30 days of the Certification Date and the first and second anniversaries of the Certification Date.

The Compensation Committee believes the performance-based element of these PC-RSU awards further aligns the interests of Garmin's Executive Management members with the interests of Garmin's shareholders by conditioning vesting on meeting or exceeding financial performance goals, and that the time-based element furthers the objective of retaining Executive Management members.

#### Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Garmin offers a discounted stock purchase plan to employees. This plan allows employees to purchase Garmin shares at a per share price equal to 85% of the lesser of (a) the per share closing price of Garmin's shares on the last stock trading day of the offering period, and (b) the per share closing price of Garmin's shares on the first stock trading day of the offering period. Executive Management members can participate in this plan under the same terms and conditions as all other employees.

The plan provides limits on the percentage of salary an employee, including Executive Management members, may contribute to the plan and on the total value of Garmin shares that an employee, including Executive Management members, may purchase under the plan in any one calendar year. Non-executive members of the Board of Directors are not eligible to participate in the plan.

#### Benefits; Retirement Contributions
For Garmin's U.S. employees, including members of Executive Management employed by Garmin in the U.S., (a) for every dollar the employee contributed to the plan up to 10% of the employee's salary per payroll period, Garmin contributed 75 cents, and (b) Garmin made an additional contribution equal to 5% of the employee's salary, whether or not the employee contributed to the plan. For each of 2025 and 2024, no salary in excess of US $350,000 and $345,000, respectively, was taken into account for either of the foregoing contributions.

### Other Considerations

#### Policy Regarding Hedging and Pledging of Garmin Securities
Pursuant to the Garmin Ltd. Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy, Garmin prohibits members of the Board of Directors and Executive Management from engaging in transactions pursuant to which they would hedge the economic risk of Garmin stock ownership or pledge Garmin securities as collateral for a loan.

#### Recovery of Performance-Based Compensation
Garmin's Board of Directors adopted the Garmin Ltd. Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy, effective October 2, 2023, in accordance with SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. Under the Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy, in the event Garmin is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. federal securities laws, then, subject to limited exceptions, Garmin shall recover the excess incentive compensation received by members of Executive Management and other covered employees during the recoupment period.

For purposes of the Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy, (a) "excess incentive compensation" means the amount of performance-based compensation received that exceeds the amount that otherwise would have been received if the determination of the compensation to be received had been determined based on restated amounts in the accounting restatement, without regard to taxes paid, and (b) "recoupment period" means the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which the determination was made that Garmin is required to prepare the accounting restatement.

With respect to certain PC-RSU awards that were outstanding prior to the effective date of the Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy, pursuant to a separate claw-back policy in the event of an accounting restatement of Garmin's financial statements due to misconduct resulting in Garmin's material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under U.S. federal securities laws, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to require reimbursement or forfeiture of any compensation received by any Executive Management member or other covered employee under those awards during the three-year period preceding the date on which Garmin is required to prepare an accounting restatement. In determining the amount to be recovered, the Compensation Committee may consider, in addition to other factors, the excess of the performance-based compensation received based on the erroneous data over the performance-based compensation that would have been received had it been based on the restated amounts, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

#### Change-in-Control Benefits
If an Executive Management member's employment is terminated without cause, or the member resigns with good reason, within twelve months following a change in control of Garmin, all of the member's unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs), if any, would immediately become exercisable and all of the member's unvested time-based RSUs would immediately become payable.

"Cause" generally includes certain conduct by the Executive Management member, such as a conviction or plea of guilty to a felony or certain other crimes, willful actions or omissions that are grounds for immediate dismissal under certain employment policies, a habitual neglect of duties, and willful and intentional material misconduct in the Executive Management member's performance of their duties that results in financial detriment. However, "Cause" generally does not (other than with respect to crimes) include bad judgment, negligence, or acts or omissions that the Executive Management member believed, in good faith, to have been in or at least not opposed to the interests of the Company. "Good Reason" generally includes certain actions by Garmin, including a material diminution in the Executive Management member's position, authority or duties, requiring the Executive Management member to move more than 50 miles from their current location, or a material diminution in aggregate compensation (other than broad-based reductions applicable to all similarly-situated employees).

If an Executive Management member's employment is terminated without cause, or the member resigns with good reason, after the Certification Date for PC-RSUs and within twelve months following a change in control of Garmin, all of the member's PC-RSUs that were earned pursuant to the performance-based vesting element but not yet vested due to the time-based vesting element would immediately become payable. If the Executive Management member's employment is terminated without cause, or the member resigns with good reason, prior to the Certification Date and within twelve months after the change in control of Garmin, then all of the member's PC-RSUs that would have been earned as of the Certification Date pursuant to the performance-based element but for the termination of employment will become payable within 30 days of the Certification Date.

Such vesting treatment is the only benefit that would be received by Executive Management members upon a change in control, and such benefit would also be received by all other Garmin employees who own unvested stock options, SARs, RSUs or PC-RSUs. This change-in-control protection is designed to provide adequate protection for Executive Management members so that they may focus their efforts on effective leadership, rather than significant compensation loss, during a time that Garmin is considering or undertaking a change in control, and to provide Executive Management members who own unvested equity awards with incentives to remain with Garmin during a time that Garmin is considering or undertaking a change in control.

Garmin focuses on five strategic corporate pillars to achieve its long-term objectives. These strategic pillars are People, Products, Operations, Growth, and Corporate Sustainability.

![](lgrmn2026_pre14ax76x1.jpg)

Garmin's values are a direct reflection of the values of our founders, Gary Burrell and Dr. Min Kao. The values they embodied and instilled in Garmin at the time of its founding remain the values that drive everything we do.

Please refer to our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2025 Form 10-K"), in particular Part I, Item 1, for additional details on Garmin's business model.

### Environmental Matters

#### Overview
Garmin's Global Environmental Policy<sup>1</sup> is a commitment to protect the environment throughout all aspects of our business. Garmin actively manages its environmental impact by continually assessing and reviewing its environmental sustainability efforts. The policy, aligned with Garmin's mission, vision and values, supports business strategies and objectives.

#### Environmental Management
Garmin exhibits its environmental commitment through, among other things, its management of resources, energy, and greenhouse gas emissions. Garmin has implemented environmental management systems to improve resource efficiency, reduce waste, and reduce costs, and has achieved certification to the International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 standard for Environmental Management at facilities in the U.S., U.K., Taiwan, Poland, and China. Garmin has also implemented energy management systems and achieved certification to the ISO 50001 standard for Energy Management at its manufacturing facilities in Taiwan. Additionally, certain Garmin operations are conducted in buildings that are certified to environmental building certification frameworks, such as Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), which has contributed to energy efficiency and improved environmental performance.

Recycling and waste management programs are developed to manage operational waste. These programs are established to align with the global environmental policy objective of conserving resources and reducing the impact on the environment. In 2025, approximately 4,800 metric tons of materials, including paper, cardboard, plastic and electronic waste were collected and recycled from Garmin facilities. For waste unable to be recycled, multiple Garmin facilities utilize waste-to-energy providers who divert waste from landfills and use the waste to convert into electricity. Garmin also funds e-waste collection, processing and recycling through third-party organizations in certain jurisdictions in compliance with extended producer responsibility regulations and directives. In certain markets, Garmin offers consumers the ability to return Garmin products that have reached their end-of-life to be recycled responsibly.

#### Climate and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Garmin reduces its greenhouse gas emissions through direct carbon emissions reduction and elimination strategies, including utilization of renewable energy, through means such as power purchase agreements with utility providers or on-site generation. Sites that utilize 100% renewable electricity include Garmin's manufacturing and distribution facility in Olathe, Kansas (U.S.), manufacturing facilities in the Netherlands and Poland, and our distribution facility and office in the United Kingdom. In 2025, approximately 30% of Garmin's total indirect emissions from purchased electricity was covered by renewable energy<sup>2</sup>.

The following section specifically discloses Garmin's climate-related governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics in line with the Swiss Ordinance on Climate Disclosures and thus indirectly the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

**Governance**

The Garmin Board of Directors (the Board) provides oversight and governance on all business matters, including those related to responsible business practices. Garmin management regularly updates the Board on these matters. Engagement and involvement from our Board and management ensures that Garmin's strategies related to responsible business practices are integrated into business decisions and throughout the organization.

Garmin management is responsible for developing, implementing and reviewing the performance of corporate strategies. Garmin has an executive leadership team dedicated to providing direction on and overseeing the implementation of strategies related to responsible business practices.

Climate-related risks and opportunities are evaluated by members of the executive leadership team. The executive leadership team is informed and updated about climate-related topics through regular channels within our business operations.

**Strategy, Measures and Risks**

Garmin conducted a climate scenario analysis in line with the TCFD recommendations to evaluate relevant climate-related risks and opportunities and their potential impacts to our business. This analysis assessed physical and transition risks and opportunities over various time horizons. The following time horizons were used in our analysis:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Short-term: 0 to 3 years

• Medium-term: 3 to 10 years

• Long-term: 10+ years

Relevant risks and opportunities were evaluated against either a high-emissions climate scenario or a low-emissions scenario, in line with the TCFD recommendations. The selected scenarios are hypothetical, plausible scenarios outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and International Energy Agency (IEA). The high-emissions climate scenario follows the IPCC SSP5-8.5, where global temperatures rise 4°C above pre-industrial temperatures by 2100. The low-emissions climate scenario follows the IEA Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario, where global temperature rise is limited to 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures by 2050. The assessment of physical risks focused on certain Garmin properties critical to our operations.

Within the climate scenario analysis, management identified physical and transition climate-related risks that could potentially have a meaningful impact on our business, including:

 

*Physical Risk*

Increased severity of extreme weather events, such as cyclones, floods, landslides, and tornados, could cause disruption to our business operations, damage to our properties and assets, loss of inventory or affect the sale of our products.

 

*Transition Risk*

An increase in regulations and legislative measures to address climate change could have a direct or indirect impact on our cost of operations or market for our products.

Based on the scenario pathways utilized, these risks exist across all time horizons with exposure increasing over the medium and long-terms.

Opportunities were also assessed within the climate scenario analysis. As an innovation-driven company, we adapt business strategies to capitalize on meaningful opportunities that emerge over time, such as changes in consumer preferences and behavior.

Our vertically integrated business model, balance sheet, financial performance, and diversified business enable us to maintain resilient strategies to mitigate climate-related risks and capitalize on future opportunities. We continually monitor our physical exposure and the regulatory landscape for evolving risks to our business, and we adapt or respond as appropriate.

The risks noted above are not the only ones facing our company. Please refer to our 2025 Form 10-K, in particular Part I, Item 1A, for additional information on the risks and uncertainties facing the Company.

**Risk Management**

Garmin utilizes a cross-functional team to conduct our climate scenario analysis and assess climate-related risks, which are reviewed with members of the executive leadership team. Business leaders and responsible parties involved in the climate scenario analysis remain engaged such that any changes to factors that could affect the judgement and results of the analysis are continually evaluated.

Garmin takes a pragmatic approach to managing climate-related risks, ensuring decisions align with our long-term business strategies and objectives. Risks are evaluated based on their likelihood of occurrence and their potential impact on our business. When evaluating these risks, we also consider the applicability and effectiveness of our existing risk management strategies that address potential climate-related impacts. For example, Garmin has developed backup and recovery plans, retained insurance against certain losses, diversified our suppliers where possible to mitigate supply chain disruptions, and continually innovates and seeks opportunities to provide products and technologies that meet customer expectations.

\* Scope 3 emissions include the following categories:

• Category 1 – Purchased Goods and Services

• Category 2 – Capital Goods

• Category 3 – Fuel and Energy-Related Activities

• Category 4 – Upstream Transportation

• Category 5 – Waste Generated in Operations

• Category 6 – Business Travel

• Category 7 – Employee Commuting

• Category 11 – Use of Sold Products

• Category 12 – End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products

• Category 15 – Investments

**Transition Plan**

Garmin acknowledges Switzerland's climate policy and goals that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. As previously discussed, Garmin believes the most impactful and accountable approach is to prioritize direct carbon reductions where possible and its strategy focuses on emission reductions within its operations and areas under the Company's control. Garmin has made progress in this area and continues to explore opportunities to further reduce its emissions.

Garmin has established a reduction target of approximately 60% of its 2024 baseline Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 emissions by 2035 in alignment with Swiss climate goals. The reduction target, which is calculated under an absolute reduction method, is established using globally recognized science-based climate frameworks. Garmin also considers other factors, such as trends in energy consumption and normalized emissions using intensity factors, to evaluate performance as progress towards achieving the target will not be linear and may be affected by business growth. Achievement of the reduction target is dependent in large part on external factors, such as the availability and practicality of alternative energy sources and regulatory changes. As the target date approaches, and as Garmin's business and technologies evolve, Garmin will re-evaluate longer-term targets and strategies.

### Employee-Related Matters
Garmin employs approximately 23,000 individuals worldwide. Successful execution of our strategy depends on attracting, developing, and retaining key employees and members of our management team. To facilitate talent attraction and retention, Garmin provides opportunities for employees to grow and develop in their careers, supported by generous compensation and benefits, in a safe. healthy and inclusive working environment. Garmin believes its efforts in managing its workforce have been effective, as evidenced by a strong company culture and positive relations between the Company and its employees. Garmin has received recognition from notable publications for being a leading employer. These rankings include Forbes' lists for America's Best Employers by State, America's Best Large Employers, America's Best Employers for Women, and Best Employers for New Grads, Vault's lists for Best Internships Overall, Best Internships by Role (Engineering), and Best Internships by Industry (Tech & Engineering), Newsweek's list of Most Trustworthy Companies in America, and Time's list of World's Best Companies. Garmin also received recognition by Mental Health America with the platinum level for the Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health in 2025.

Garmin fosters a strong company culture through the shared mission, vision, and values among employees. The Company's Code of Conduct<sup>5</sup> is an extension of Garmin core values and reflects the commitment of Garmin and its employees to conduct business ethically. Employees create meaningful connections and demonstrate effective teamwork. Due to Garmin's global presence and vertically integrated operations, Garmin employees often collaborate with other departments and offices around the world to create innovative products and services. Employees are also passionate participants, providing valuable insight and perspective into the development, testing, and support of Garmin products and services. Additionally, Garmin has business resource groups ("BRGs") and shared interest groups that are open to all employees and offer them a forum to build a sense of belonging beyond their work, connect and provide mentorship.

Garmin invests significant resources in talent development programs to provide employees with the training and education they need to achieve their career goals, build relevant skills, and bring value to their teams. To support this, Garmin offers benefits in some cases exceeding legal requirements, which vary by country or region, such as education assistance as well as leadership and professional development courses. Garmin also offers a range of benefits to employees that assist in attracting and retaining leading talent. These benefits, which vary by country or region, include healthcare and insurance benefits, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave, stock compensation, savings plans, and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which provides employees an opportunity to acquire company ownership for a discounted price. A recent employee engagement survey, which was conducted by Flex Surveys in 2025, surveyed U.S. employees on a range of metrics, including company culture and compensation and benefits. In the results, Garmin scored above industry averages in Overall, Employee Engagement, and Company Product and Service Endorsement categories. Positive employee relations and a strong company culture also contribute to Garmin's low employee turnover rate relative to the average turnover for companies in the technology industry. The average turnover across the entire Company during the most recent reporting period was approximately 11%<sup>4</sup>.

Garmin has a Global Health and Safety Policy<sup>1</sup> and is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace that promotes the wellbeing of employees. Garmin continually evaluates its processes to ensure they fulfill requirements and educate and engage with employees to implement improvements that prevent work-related incidents and illnesses, eliminate hazards and mitigate risks. Garmin has also achieved certification to the ISO 45001 standard, an internationally recognized certification for management systems of occupational health and safety, at facilities in the U.S., Taiwan, Poland, and China. As a reflection of Garmin health and safety practices, its Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) is consistently well below industry averages. TRIR, as defined by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is the total number of recordable injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time equivalent workers during a one-year period. In 2025 TRIR among Garmin locations that have achieved ISO 45001 certification was approximately 0.21. This value is approximately 60%<sup>10</sup> lower than industry incidence rates based on most recent industry averages provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

As outlined in the Company's Code of Conduct, Garmin is committed to supporting an engaged and collaborative workforce at all levels of the company. As a global company with offices in 37 different countries around the world, teamwork and belonging play an important role in Garmin's culture, business operations, and ability to create innovative new products and services. For additional information on Garmin's workforce representation, please refer to the Company's Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Report on its corporate sustainability reporting webpage<sup>6</sup>.

Garmin's future success depends significantly on the continued contribution of our key executive, engineering, sales, marketing, manufacturing, and administrative personnel. Recruiting and retaining the skilled personnel Garmin requires to maintain and grow its market position can be challenging. Please refer to the 2025 Form 10-K, in particular Part I, Item 1A, for additional information on the risks and uncertainties facing the Company, including risks related to employee matters.

### Human Rights
As outlined in the Company's Global Human Rights Policy<sup>1</sup>, Garmin is committed to upholding human rights and freedoms for all people, including the right to experience safe, fair, and nondiscriminatory working conditions. Garmin is committed to complying with all applicable laws and adhering to prevailing industry standards, and the Company expects the same from its suppliers.

In accordance with the Company's Modern Slavery Policy<sup>7</sup>, Garmin condemns modern slavery in all forms and prohibits acts that constitute modern slavery. Garmin has standards and procedures in place and requires employees to report any suspected instances of modern slavery. All individuals employed by Garmin are subject to Garmin's Code of Conduct<sup>5</sup> and Modern Slavery Policy and employees are required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, which include those regarding modern slavery and human trafficking Additionally, Garmin factories are subject to periodic compliance audits by many of its distributors and other resellers to confirm compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and international labor and human rights standards. Employees are required to report all suspected instances of forced labor or child labor.

policy provides confidentiality and protection against retaliation to any individuals who raise concerns. If any form of forced labor or child labor were to be discovered in Garmin's own operations or in Garmin's supply chain, corrective action and remediation would be performed.

With respect to the production of components of Garmin's products, Garmin requires upstream suppliers to comply with Garmin's Supplier Code of Conduct<sup>8</sup>, which sets forth expectations on human rights and labor practices of suppliers. Instances of noncompliance are subject to action, which may include termination of relationship with the upstream supplier. Garmin's standard supply agreements require suppliers to assure Garmin that products they supply are not produced, manufactured or packaged by forced, prison or child labor. At the sole discretion of the Company, Garmin conducts periodic assessments of its suppliers to assess and verify compliance with Garmin's Supplier Code of Conduct and other supply chain requirements. These assessments include evaluations of compliance with policies implemented to prevent forced labor, child labor, and other human rights issues. Garmin has also evaluated our supply chain to determine whether there are reasonable grounds to suspect that products or services we offer have been manufactured or provided using child labor, pursuant to the requirements of Art. 964j of the Swiss Code of Obligations in connection with Art. 5 et seq. of the Ordinance on Due Diligence and Transparency in relation to Minerals and Metals from Conflict-Affected Areas and Child Labour. As a result of the analysis performed, we have determined that there are no reasonable grounds to suspect Garmin's products or services have been manufactured or provided using child labor and thus we are exempt from due diligence obligations and reporting obligations related to child labor.

Garmin also takes steps to ensure our supply chain is free of conflict minerals, which include tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold, also known as 3TG. Although Garmin does not directly purchase any raw 3TG minerals from our suppliers, Garmin purchases component parts from its suppliers that could include 3TG derived from mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries. Garmin designed its due diligence measures in conformance with the due diligence related steps of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, as further set forth in the specific guidance for downstream companies contained in the supplements on tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold. Garmin expects each of our suppliers to adopt a policy of responsible sourcing of minerals and pass this requirement through its supply chain. Garmin responds to identified risks when there is reason to believe that conflict minerals included in its products may have originated in the DRC or an adjoining country and are not from recycled or scrap sources. For additional information on Garmin's policies and procedures regarding conflict minerals, please refer to our Conflict Minerals Policy<sup>9</sup> and our Conflict Minerals Report on our corporate sustainability reporting webpage<sup>6</sup>. For the sake of this report, we note that we are exempted from the due diligence and reporting requirements regarding conflict minerals under Swiss law (Art. 964j et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations in connection with Art. 3 et seq. of the Ordinance on Due Diligence and Transparency in relation to Minerals and Metals from Conflict-Affected Areas and Child Labour), as we comply with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Conflict Minerals Guidance and thus are exempt under Art. 9.

As a business that operates worldwide, we are subject to complex and changing global laws and regulations, including those related to health and safety, labor and employment, import, export and trade. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable global laws and regulations, including those discussed above. Please refer to our 2025 Form 10-K, in particular Part I, Item 1A, for additional information on the risks and uncertainties facing the Company, including risks relating to human rights matters.

### Business Conduct and Combating Corruption
Garmin is committed to conducting business in a manner fully consistent with its ethical standards and legal obligations. Garmin is also committed to complying with all anti-corruption laws of the countries in which it does business, such as the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 and articles 322<sup>ter</sup> – 322<sup>decies</sup> of the Swiss Criminal Code. Garmin is committed to conducting its activities free from the illegal and improper influence of bribery and to ensuring anti-corruption awareness among its employees, as well as third parties with respect to their activities related to Garmin.

In accordance with the Company's Code of Conduct<sup>5</sup>, Garmin empowers its employees to identify corruption risk and to respond appropriately. Employees are expected to be aware of local law requirements, follow the Company's approval process for transactions, refuse and report to Garmin's Chief Compliance Officer any requests for bribes or facilitating payments, and ensure any expenses for government officials are appropriate. Garmin employees are provided with mandatory annual trainings that include the education and resources they need to be informed of and to adhere to applicable regulations and Garmin's compliance policies. Additionally, Garmin employees are required to acknowledge on an annual basis that they have reviewed the Code of Conduct and understand they are expected to comply with all of the rules therein. Garmin employees are required to report any compliance concern and may do so anonymously through Garmin's compliance helpdesk where permitted by local law. Garmin promptly investigates any concerns relating to potential violations of the Company's Code of Conduct reported through the reporting methods set forth in the Code of Conduct, including the compliance helpdesk.

No such concerns have been reported regarding potential corruption during the year 2025, which is an indicator of the effectiveness of Garmin's anti-corruption compliance program.

Garmin's Chief Compliance Officer has overall responsibility for the Company's anti-corruption compliance program and the related guidelines. These guidelines are in place so neither Garmin nor any of its agents, partners or representatives will give, offer, receive or solicit any improper direct or indirect payments or anything of value to or from any customers, agents, counterparties or other business relationships or authorities. Included in the Company's guidelines are due diligence processes designed to screen certain proposed business relationships with third parties that could have authority to make payments on Garmin's behalf, including distributors, consultants, agents, and outside law firms. This due diligence process includes an analysis of the related risks and the need to implement safeguards, the results of which are reviewed and approved by Garmin's legal department prior to entering into an agreement. Once Garmin has retained a third party, additional due diligence is performed periodically and as needed.

Garmin is subject to complex and changing global laws and regulations, including those related to anticorruption, bribery, and anti-money laundering. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable global laws and regulations, including those discussed above. Please refer to Garmin's 2025 Form 10-K, in particular Part I, Item 1A, for additional information on the risks and uncertainties facing the Company.
