Deferred Compensation Plan

On May 21, 2024, the Human Capital Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Array Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the Array Tech, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Participation in the Plan is voluntary and is currently open to U.S. employees of the Company and its subsidiaries at the level of Vice President or higher.

The Plan allows for deferrals by participants of up to 50% of their base salary and up to 100% of their cash incentive compensation. There is no maximum dollar limit on the amount that may be deferred by a participant in any year.

In addition, the Company will make a matching contribution to the Plan in respect of cash compensation that could not be recognized under the Company’s 401(k) plan due to the Code Section 401(a)(17) compensation limit ($345,000 for 2024). The Plan matching contribution will be equal to the matching contribution established for the Company’s 401(k) plan for the applicable year. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company may also provide discretionary contributions to participants as determined annually in the discretion of the Committee. The participants are always 100% vested in the amount they defer, and any Company contributions will vest fully on the second anniversary of the date on which the Company contribution is made.

Compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan, along with any Company contributions to the Plan, may be invested by participants in accordance with investment menu of the Plan, which will mirror the fund choices of the Company 401(k) plan.

Compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan will be distributed in accordance with elections made by the participant. Participants may elect to receive distributions upon a separation from service or a specified date in the form of a lump sum payment or annual installment payments for up to 10 years, for distributions following a separation from service, or 5 years, for distributions upon a specified date. Compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan may also be distributed in the form of a lump sum benefit in the event of the participant’s death, disability, or unforeseeable emergency that results in “severe financial hardship,” as contemplated by Section 409A of the Code.

The Plan does not require the Company to establish any trust, escrow account, or other mechanism to hold the participant deferrals and Company contributions. The obligations of the Company under the Plan are general unsecured obligations.

The Company may amend the Plan at any time, except that no such amendment or termination may adversely affect a participant’s right with respect to the amount of the participant’s accounts as of the date of such amendment or termination. The Company may terminate the Plan at any time, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and pay the participants their vested amounts in a single lump sum or on a schedule determined by the Committee.

The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
