Performance Highlights

Haemonetics is a global medical technology company dedicated to improving the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of health care. Our innovative solutions addressing critical medical needs include a suite of hospital technologies designed to advance standards of care and help enhance outcomes for patients; end-to-end plasma collection technologies to optimize operations for plasma centers; and products to enable blood centers to collect in-demand blood components. We view our operations and manage our business in three principal reporting segments: Plasma, Blood Center and Hospital. The Company’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "HAE."

Haemonetics' fiscal 2025 represented a strong installment in our multi-year, long-range plan targeting transformational growth, diversification and sustainability in our business. We achieved significant milestones in our business evolution and drove improved profitability and growth momentum as we navigated external market challenges, including rapidly evolving trends in electrophysiology, a temporary pullback in plasma collections, difficult market conditions in China and other macroeconomic uncertainties. In Hospital, we continued to strengthen our ability to compete in attractive, high-growth markets through differentiated enabling technologies and portfolio evolution, including the launches of our upsized VASCADE MVP ® XL mid-bore venous closure device and TEG ® 6s hemostasis analyzer system's global hemostasis-heparinized neutralization assay cartridge, as well as the acquisition of Advanced Cooling Therapy, Inc. (d/b/a Attune Medical) and other strategic investments to complement our Interventional Technologies portfolio. In Plasma, we continued to advance our market leadership through new technology rollouts across our customer base and market share gains both in the US and internationally, strengthening our foundation during a temporary pullback in collection volumes. In Blood Center, we continued to meet strong demand for our Apheresis products while divesting our Whole Blood product line, helping to better align our resources toward higher margin, higher growth opportunities. In our ongoing efforts to accelerate growth and innovation, we also introduced new Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Operating Officer leadership roles designed to strengthen our strategic execution as we evolve our business. Looking ahead to the final year of our long-range plan in fiscal 2026 , we are confident in the foundation we are building to deliver sustained, long-term value to our customers and shareholders.

For further discussion of our fiscal 2025 business highlights and how our fiscal 2025 performance affected our Named Executive Officers' compensation, please see our Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 22 . For additional information on our fiscal 2025 financial results please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025.

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement 5

BOARD REFRESHMENT

The Board does not endorse arbitrary term limits for director service, nor does it believe in automatic re-nomination until directors reach a mandatory retirement age. The Board and each committee of the Board conduct an annual self-evaluation of their performance, which is an important determinant for Board refreshment. Director feedback solicited from the formal self-evaluation process is discussed during Board and committee meetings and, where appropriate, addressed with management. T he Board’s annual self-evaluation process also includes an individual Board member peer review component. The director peer review process was facilitated by our Board Chair in fiscal 2025 with feedback provided to each individual director.

As provided in the Company’s Principles of Corporate Governance, directors generally will not be nominated for re-election at any annual meeting of shareholders following their 75th birthday. To further promote refreshment, and as an alternative to term limits, the Principles of Corporate Governance also provide that the Board will seek to maintain an average tenure of ten years or less for its independent Board members as a group (see "Board Composition Snapshot" on page 4 for the current average tenure of our independent Board members). The Board maintains discretion in each case to waive these guidelines for a director if it deems such waiver to be in the best interests of the Company.

How We Think About Board Refreshment

BEST PRACTICES

We are committed to high standards in corporate governance and creating a corporate governance environment that supports the long-term success of our Company. Our governance practices include the following:


BOARD PRACTICES						SHAREHOLDER PRACTICES

ü Independent Board Chair and directors (other than CEO) ü Committees consist solely of independent directors ü Annual election of directors ü Regular executive sessions of independent directors ü Board oversight of risk management and compliance ü Annual Board and standing committee evaluations, including individual Board member peer review ü Guidelines to promote refreshment, including age 75 retirement and average director tenure of ten years or less						ü Transparent and active shareholder engagement (outreach to over 52% of shares outstanding in each of last seven years) ü Annual say-on-pay advisory vote, with over 94% approval in each of the last ten years ü Majority voting provisions in Charter and By-Laws ü Shareholder right to call special meetings ü Director resignation policy if a director does not obtain a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election ü No shareholder rights plan (i.e., a "poison pill")

OTHER BEST PRACTICES

ü Maintain strong executive compensation governance and pay practices (see "Strong Governance and Pay Practices" beginning on page 25 )

6 HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement

SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH

The Company is committed to transparent and active engagement with its shareholders. On an ongoing basis, members of senior management meet with shareholders to discuss the Company’s business fundamentals, performance and long-term outlook. Our Board also proactively engages with shareholders on governance and executive compensation matters and other topics of shareholder interest. During the fall and winter of fiscal 2025, our Board Chair (who also Chairs our Governance and Compliance Committee) and our Compensation Committee Chair offered meetings to shareholders that collectively held approximately 53% of our shares outstanding. Together with members of our Legal and Investor Relations teams , these Board members met in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 with shareholders representing over 21% of shar es outstanding to discuss, among other topics, Haemonetics' corporate strategy and performance, board composition and refreshment, executive compensation, corporate responsibility and other governance matters. Details of shareholder feedback are discussed throughout this Proxy Statement.

For information on how to contact our Board please see "Communications with the Board of Directors" on page 14 .

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

A t Haemonetics, our corporate responsibility programs and practices inform our corporate strategy and support our Purpose as we strive to drive greater possibilities and meaningfully advance healthcare. How we do this work is equally important.

We are committed to taking the necessary steps across all parts of our business to ensure the long-term health and success of our Company, our colleagues, our customers and our communities. Haemonetics’ corporate responsibility framework augments our corporate strategy by proactively identifying and managing the environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities relevant to our Company and those we serve across four sustainability pillars, as represented in the graphic below:

We target publication of our Corporate Responsibility reports on a biennial basis and currently expect to publish our next Corporate Responsibility report in summer 2025. Our Corp orate Responsibility reports and other information on our website are not incorporated by reference into, and do not form any part of, this Proxy Statement.

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement 7


Performance Highlights

ELEMENTS OF TOTAL COMPENSATION

When setting compensation for our Named Executive Officers, or NEOs, the Compensation Committee focuses on total direct compensation. Total direct compensation includes three major components – base salary, annual short-term incentive compensation and annual long-term incentive compensation – all of which are designed to work together to drive a complementary set of behaviors and outcomes. The following chart illustrates, for fiscal 2025, the target annual compensation mix among the three elements of direct compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and, on average, for our other NEOs. For more information, see "Target Annual Compensation Mix" on page 29 .

(1) Long-term incentive compensation reflects grant value of fiscal 2025 annual long-term incentive awards granted to our Named Executive Officers. For more information, see "Individual Fiscal 2025 Long-Term Incentive Awards" beginning on page 34 .


Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Any statements contained in this Proxy Statement that do not describe historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Proxy Statement may include, without limitation, statements regarding (i) plans and objectives of management for operations of the Company, including plans or objectives related to the Company’s strategy for growth; product development, commercialization and anticipated benefits; regulatory approvals; the impact of acquisitions and divestitures; market position and expenditures; and the Company’s market and regional alignment and portfolio rationalization initiatives; (ii) estimates or projections of future financial results, financial condition, capital expenditures, capital structure or other financial items, including with respect to the share repurchase program; and (iii) the assumptions underlying or relating to any statement described in points (i) and (ii) above. Such forward-looking statements are not meant to predict or guarantee actual results, performance, events or circumstances and may not be realized because they are based upon the Company’s current projections, plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, estimates and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and other influences. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements in this Proxy Statement can be found in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025 under the headings "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors" and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.

This Proxy Statement contains statements regarding individual and Company performance objectives and targets. These objectives and targets are disclosed in the limited context of our compensation plans and programs and should not be understood to be statements of management’s future expectations or estimates of future results or other guidance. We specifically caution investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.

8 HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement

ITEM 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board currently has nine members, each of whom is standing for election at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (see "Director Nominees" beginning on page 10 ). If elected, each director will serve for a one-year term expiring at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Each nominee has agreed to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected. We believe that each nominee will be able and willing to serve if elected. However, if any nominee should become unable for any reason or unwilling to serve, proxies may be voted for another person nominated as a substitute by our Board, or our Board may reduce the number of directors.



þ			Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each of the nominees for director named in this Proxy Statement. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not have any effect on this proposal. Accordingly, the nominees receiving the highest number of “for” votes at the meeting will be elected as directors. However, under a policy adopted by the Board, in an uncontested election, any nominee for director who does not receive the favorable vote of at least a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director is required to tender his or her resignation to the Board, which will consider whether to accept the resignation. This is an uncontested election of directors because the number of nominees for director does not exceed the number of directors to be elected. The persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote all duly submitted proxies FOR the nominees listed below (see "Director Nominees" beginning on page 10 ) unless instructed otherwise.


Haemonetics Board of Directors

BOARD COMPOSITION AND THE DIRECTOR NOMINATION PROCESS

The Governance and Compliance Committee is responsible for reviewing and assessing the appropriate skills, experience and background required for the Board. Because our business operates in regulated healthcare markets around the globe and encompasses research and development, manufacturing and marketing functions that are subject to technological and market changes, the skills, experience and backgrounds that are needed are diverse.

While the priority and emphasis of each factor changes from time to time to take into account the current needs of the Company, we seek to have our Board reflect a portfolio of diverse backgrounds, skills, qualifications, viewpoints and experiences in aspects of business or technology that are relevant to the Company’s business. The Governance and Compliance Committee and the Board review and assess the importance of these factors as part of the Board’s annual self-evaluation process, and the Governance and Compliance Committee at least annually reviews and reports to the Board on what skills and characteristics it believes are reflected in the Board and what additional qualifications should be sought in new directors to augment the skills and expertise on the Board. These steps are intended to ensure that the Company continues to create and sustain a Board that can support and effectively oversee the Company’s business.

Although the Board has not adopted any absolute prerequisites for Board service, the Governance and Compliance Committee considers the following minimum criteria when identifying nominees:


n	His or her background, skills, qualifications, experience and acumen as they relate to Haemonetics' business needs	n	His or her independence from the Company and management, as defined under SEC and NYSE rules

n	His or her integrity, independence, leadership and ability to exercise sound judgment	n	His or her contemporaneous service on other public company boards of directors and related committees

n	His or her knowledge of the healthcare sector and the markets in which the Company participates	n	His or her ability to participate fully in Board activities and represent the Company’s stakeholders

Our Board believes that each of its members must be willing and able to devote the substantial time required to carry out the duties and responsibilities of directors. Under our Principles of Corporate Governance, directors are prohibited from serving on more than four other public company boards (in addition to our Board) without the approval of our Board (for more information, see "Board and Committee Service Limitation" on page 16 ). In the case of directors being considered for re-nomination to the Board, the Governance and Compliance Committee will also take into consideration the director’s history of attendance at Board and committee meetings, tenure as a member of the Board and preparation for and participation in such meetings.

The Governance and Compliance Committee has evaluated and maintains that each of our director nominees for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders has proven the ability to commit sufficient time and capacity to Board duties and to otherwise fulfill the responsibilities required of directors. Such demonstration is evidenced by Board and committee meeting attendance records and preparation, contributions to Board discussions and decision-making and engagement with other members of the Board and management. Additionally, all of our directors are in compliance with our policy regarding public company board service limits, as described above.

Board’s Role and Responsibilities

OVERVIEW

The Board oversees, directs and counsels senior management in conducting the business in the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board’s responsibilities include:

• Reviewing and approving the Company’s financial and strategic objectives, operating plans and significant actions, including mergers and acquisitions;

• Overseeing the conduct of the business and compliance with applicable laws and ethical standards;

• Overseeing the processes that maintain the integrity of our financial statements and public disclosures;

• Evaluating and determining the compensation of senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer;

• Overseeing and providing counsel on scientific, innovation and technology activities at the Company; and

• Selecting the Chief Executive Officer, developing succession plans for the position of Chief Executive Officer and reviewing senior management succession plans.

THE BOARD’S ROLE IN RISK MANAGEMENT

Among its other oversight responsibilities, the Board oversees Haemonetics’ enterprise-wide approach to risk management. Our management team is responsible for managing risk on a day-to-day basis and for bringing to the Board’s attention material risks facing the Company. The Board focuses on the quality and scope of the Company’s risk management strategies and considers the most significant areas of risk inherent in the Company’s business strategies and operations as well as the steps that management is taking to mitigate those risks. Additionally, Board committees consider discrete categories of risk relating to their respective areas of responsibility (for more information, see “Committees of the Board” on page 15 ).

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement 13

Senior management has overall responsibility for Haemonetics' risk management approach. This responsibility includes identifying, evaluating and addressing potential risks that may exist at the enterprise, strategic, financial, operational, compliance and reporting levels. Haemonetics also recognizes the linkage between corporate responsibility and our corporate strategy, and corporate responsibility topics are analyzed from a risk perspective within the Company’s broader enterprise risk management framework outlined above. As discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, our Board’s standing committees also evaluate certain corporate responsibility-related risks and opportunities as part of their regular oversight functions. Haemonetics’ Global Internal Audit function, which reports regularly to the Audit Committee, serves as the primary monitoring and testing function for compliance with company- wide policies and procedures and facilitates an annual enterprise risk management assessment across the organization.

The Company believes that the division of risk management responsibilities described above constitutes an effective program for addressing the risks inherent in the operation of the Company and the achievement of its business objectives.

THE BOARD’S ROLE IN MANAGEMENT SUCCESSION PLANNING

Pursuant to our Principles of Corporate Governance, the Board also plans for succession to the position of Chief Executive Officer as well as certain other senior management positions. To assist the Board, the Chief Executive Officer annually provides the Board with an assessment of senior management and their potential to succeed him. The Chief Executive Officer also provides the Board with an assessment of persons considered potential successors to certain other senior management positions.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board considers shareholder perspectives, as well as the interests of all stakeholders, when overseeing Company strategy, formulating governance practices and designing compensation programs. Interested parties and shareholders may communicate with the Board, or the non-management directors as a group, or any individual director by sending communications to the attention of our Corporate Secretary, 125 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, who will forward such communications to the appropriate recipients. Communications may also be sent via the Investor Relations page on our website: www.haemonetics.com.


Board Leadership Structure

STRUCTURE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board currently has nine members, eight of whom are independent, including the Board Chair. The independent directors are organized into four standing committees: Audit, Compensation, Governance and Compliance and Technology (for more information, see "Committees of the Board" beginning on page 15 ). Haemonetics has maintained an independent Board Chair since 2011. Pursuant to our Principles of Corporate Governance, the Board Chair is appointed annually and, among other responsibilities, facilitates information flow and communication among the directors and presides at all meetings of the shareholders and of the Board as a whole, as well as executive sessions of the Board. Since August 2021, Ellen M. Zane has served as our Board Chair.

We believe that having separate individuals serving in the roles of Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer is appropriate for the Company at this time in recognition of the different responsibilities of each position and to foster independent leadership of our Board. This structure allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus on the day-to-day leadership and operations of the Company and the Board Chair to focus on leadership of the Board, while both individuals provide direction and guidance on strategic initiatives.

BOARD INDEPENDENCE

The Board has determined that each director who served during fiscal 2025, with the exception of Mr. Simon, had no material relationship with the Company and is independent within the meaning of the SEC and NYSE director independence standards in effect. In making this determination, the Board considered information provided by the Company and by each director with regard to a director’s business and personal activities as they relate to the Company and its management.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS AND MEETINGS OF THE BOARD

Executive sessions of the independent directors were held during each of the Board’s regular quarterly meetings and at such special meetings of the Board as requested by the independent directors. During fiscal 2025, Ms. Zane, in her capacity as Board Chair, presided over all such executive sessions. The Board and its committees met as follows during our last fiscal year:


	Board of Directors	Audit Committee	Compensation Committee	Governance and Compliance Committee	Technology Committee
Regular Meetings	4	4	4	4	4
Special Meetings	3	5	1	0	0
Total Number of Meetings	7	9	5	4	4

In fiscal 2025, each of the directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the full Board held while he or she was a director and the meetings held by committees of the Board on which he or she served. All directors are strongly encouraged to attend each Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All of the directors serving on the Company’s Board at the time of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held in person at the Company’s headquarters.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE SERVICE LIMITATION

Without the approval of the Board, no director may sit on more than four other public company boards in addition to our Board. No director may serve simultaneously on the audit committee of more than three public company boards (including our Company) unless the Board has determined that such service would not impair the ability of the member to effectively serve on our Company’s Audit Committee (which determination the Company discloses in accordance with applicable SEC and NYSE rules). Our Board has previously determined that Charles J. Dockendorff's service on the audit committees of three other public companies would not impair his ability to effectively serve on our Audit Committee and that our shareholders would benefit from Mr. Dockendorff’s extensive experience as a Chief Financial Officer and audit committee member at other multi-national healthcare companies (as of May 1, 2025, Mr. Dockendorff no longer serves on the audit committee of more than three public company boards). Accordingly, each of our Board members has complied with our service limitations or procedures during fiscal 2025.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

The Board has determined that all Audit Committee members meet the independence and financial literacy requirements of the NYSE for audit committee members. The Board has also determined that each of Messrs. Dockendorff (Chair) and Johnson qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under the rules of the SEC.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

For the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025, the members of the Compensation Committee were Robert E. Abernathy (Chair), Diane M. Bryant, Mark W. Kroll and Claire Pomeroy. During fiscal 2025, no member of the Compensation Committee was an executive officer or employee, or former executive officer or employee, of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. None of our executive officers served as a director or member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee.


Board Policies and Processes

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

The Board has adopted a written policy and procedures for approval of transactions between the Company and its directors, director nominees, executive officers, greater than 5% beneficial owners of Haemonetics common stock, and each of their respective immediate family members, where the amount involved in the transaction exceeds or is expected to exceed $120,000 in a single calendar year and the related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction (other than solely as a result of being a director or less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). The policy, as amended from time to time, provides that the Audit Committee reviews transactions subject to the policy and determines (subject to Board ratification) whether or not to approve those transactions. In addition, in reviewing transactions subject to the policy, the Audit Committee considers, among other factors it deems appropriate:

• The material terms of the transaction, including whether the transaction with the related person is proposed to be entered into on terms no less favorable to Haemonetics than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third-party;

• The nature and extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction;

• The approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction;

• The approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss;

• Whether the transaction is undertaken in the ordinary course of Haemonetics' business;

• The business purpose of, and the potential benefits to Haemonetics of, the transaction;

• Whether the transaction would impair the independence of a non-employee director;

• Required public disclosure, if any; and

• Any other information regarding the transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

The Company is not aware of any transaction required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC since the beginning of fiscal 2025, nor is the Company aware of any instances during the period in which the foregoing policies and procedures required review, approval or ratification of such transaction but for which such policies and procedures were not followed.

CODE OF CONDUCT, GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND BOARD MATTERS

The Company’s Code of Conduct requires that all of our directors, officers and employees avoid conflicts of interest, comply with all laws and other legal requirements, conduct business in an honest and ethical manner and otherwise act with integrity and in the best interest of the Company. The Company’s Code of Conduct, Principles of Corporate Governance and the charters of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Governance and Compliance Committee and Technology Committee may be viewed on the Investor Relations page on the Company’s website at www.haemonetics.com and printed copies can be obtained by contacting our Corporate Secretary at the Company’s headquarters located at 125 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.


Directors’ Compensation

PROCESS FOR DETERMINING DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We seek to offer our directors compensation that is consistent with other companies of our revenue, industry and operational scope. The Compensation Committee, with input from its independent compensation consultant, is responsible for annually reviewing and recommending to the Board any changes to director compensation.

Directors receive a $55,000 annual retainer with an additional $10,000 meeting retainer which covers attendance at up to eight Board meetings. If the Board meets more than eight times per year, each director receives $2,000 for each additional live meeting and $750 for each additional telephonic meeting. The Board Chair receives an annual retainer of $250,000 in place of the standard Board retainer and meeting fees. Committee Chairs are paid an additional retainer as follows: Audit Committee Chair $20,000; Compensation Committee Chair $15,000; Governance and Compliance Committee and Technology Committee Chairs $10,000. For attendance at Committee meetings, members of the Audit Committee are paid $12,000 for attending up to 12 meetings per year, members of the Compensation Committee are paid $9,000 for up to eight meetings per year, and members of the Governance and Compliance and Technology Committees are paid $6,000 for up to eight meetings per year.

Each non-employee director is eligible to receive an annual equity grant with an approximate value of $200,000. The grant is in the form of restricted stock units which vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Directors elected outside of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders receive a prorated annual equity award based on the number of days to be served from their date of election through the first anniversary of the last Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

We reimburse directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with Board and committee meetings. We also extend coverage to them under our directors’ and officers’ indemnity insurance policies and have entered into our standard form of Indemnification Agreement with each director. We do not provide any other benefits, including retirement benefits or perquisites, to our non-employee directors.

ITEM 2—ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 22 , our executive compensation programs aim to be competitive with our peers and aligned with our business strategy and corporate objectives. Our compensation philosophy emphasizes a pay-for-performance culture focused on the long-term interests of our shareholders. We believe that this alignment between executive compensation and shareholder interests will drive corporate performance over time. Additionally, the Company maintains strong governance and pay practices, including meaningful share ownership guidelines for directors and executive officers, clawback policies that apply to short-term cash awards and long-term equity awards, “double trigger” change in control benefits and performance of an annual compensation risk assessment by our Compensation Committee.

Our Compensation Committee continually evaluates the design and direction of our compensation structure. Each year, we take into account the result of the "say-on-pay" vote cast by our shareholders. At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, approximately 97% of shares voting supported our 2024 executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is also committed to maintaining an open dialogue with our shareholders throughout the year. In each of the last seven years, members of our Board have offered meetings during the fall and winter to large Haemonetics shareholders to discuss governance topics of interest. In fiscal 2025, our Board Chair (who also chairs our Governance and Compliance Committee) and Compensation Committee Chair offered meetings to shareholders representing approximately 53% of shares outstanding and met with shareholders representing over 21% of shares outstanding to discuss, among other topics, Haemonetics' corporate strategy and performance, board composition and refreshment, executive compensation, corporate responsibility and other governance matters. Shareholders we met with were complimentary of our executive compensation program overall, and of our senior management team, while asking insightful questions and providing perspective on how they evaluate the program. The feedback from the shareholder outreach efforts was provided to the Governance and Compliance and Compensation Committees as well as the full Board (for further discussion, see "Advisory ’Say-on-Pay' Vote and Shareholder Outreach" beginning on page 24 ).

Shareholders are urged to read our Compensation Discu ssion and Analysis beginning on page 22 and the section entitled “Executive Compensation Tables” beginning on page 40 for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal 2025 compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our Named Executive Officers’ compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a "say-on-pay" proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our Named Executive Officers’ compensation. This vote, as required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, is not intended to address any specific element of our compensation programs, but rather to address our overall approach to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers described in this Proxy Statement. To that end, we ask our shareholders to vote FOR the following resolution at the meeting:

RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the related executive compensation tables and the related narrative executive compensation disclosures contained in this Proxy Statement.

As an advisory vote, the results of this vote will not be binding on the Board or the Company. However, the Board values the opinions of our shareholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the Company’s executive compensation principles, policies and procedures.



þ			The Board recommends that shareholders vote, in an advisory manner, FOR the resolution set forth above. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present, in person or represented by proxy, and voting on this proposal at the meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will not have any effect on this proposal. Management proxy holders will vote all duly submitted proxies FOR approval unless instructed otherwise.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Compensation Committee of our Board (the "Compensation Committee" or the “Committee”) has adopted an integrated executive compensation program that is intended to align our Named Executive Officers’ interests with those of our shareholders and to promote the creation of shareholder value without encouraging excessive or unnecessary risk-taking. The Committee has tied a significant portion of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation to a number of key performance measures that contribute to or reflect shareholder value and link pay with performance. Specifically, in addition to base salary, our Named Executive Officers’ total compensation includes annual short-term incentive compensation that is based on the Company’s attainment of objective, pre-established financial performance metrics as well as annual long-term incentive compensation consisting of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance share units ("PSUs") tied to relative total shareholder return. Our executive compensation program plays a significant role in our ability to attract and retain an experienced, successful executive team.

Fiscal 2025 Business Highlights

Haemonetics' fiscal 2025 represented a strong installment in our multi-year, long-range plan targeting transformational growth, diversification and sustainability in our business. We achieved significant milestones in our business evolution and drove improved profitability and growth momentum as we navigated external market challenges, including rapidly evolving trends in electrophysiology, a temporary pullback in plasma collections, difficult market conditions in China and other macroeconomic uncertainties. In Hospital, we continued to strengthen our ability to compete in attractive, high-growth markets through differentiated enabling technologies and portfolio evolution, including the launches of our upsized VASCADE MVP XL mid-bore venous closure device and TEG 6s hemostasis analyzer system's global hemostasis-heparinized neutralization assay cartridge, as well as the acquisition of Attune Medical and other strategic investments to complement our Interventional Technologies portfolio. In Plasma, we continued to advance our market leadership through new technology rollouts across our customer base and market share gains both in the US and internationally, strengthening our foundation during a temporary pullback in collection volumes. In Blood Center, we continued to meet strong demand for our Apheresis products while divesting our Whole Blood product line, helping to better align our resources toward higher margin, higher growth opportunities. In our ongoing efforts to accelerate growth and innovation, we also introduced new Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Operating Officer leadership roles designed to strengthen our strategic execution as we evolve our business. Looking ahead to the final year of our long-range plan in fiscal 2026 , we are confident in the foundation we are building to deliver sustained, long-term value to our customers and shareholders.

Advisory “Say-on-Pay” Vote and Shareholder Outreach


The Company holds annual “say-on-pay” votes and has received over 94% say-on-pay approval from our shareholders for our executive compensation programs in each of the last ten years, including at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. While say-on-pay is a key indicator of shareholder feedback, we also are committed to maintaining an open dialogue with our shareholders throughout the year. As discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, our Board Chair (who also Chairs our Governance and Compliance Committee) and Compensation Committee Chair offered meetings to shareholders representing approximately 53% of shares outstanding during the fall and winter of fiscal 2025 and met with shareholders representing over 21% of shares outstanding to discuss, among other topics, Haemonetics' corporate strategy			APPROXIMATELY 97% say-on-pay approval at 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
and performance, board composition and refreshment, executive compensation, corporate responsibility and other governance matters. Shareholders we met with were complimentary of our executive compensation program overall, and of our senior management team, while asking insightful questions and providing perspective on how they evaluate the program. The feedback from the shareholder outreach efforts was provided to the Governance and Compliance and Compensation Committees as well as the full Board, including with respect to the following compensation matters:


WHAT WE HEARD						WHAT WE DID

• Investors generally commended the clarity and continuity of our executive compensation design and were not prescriptive on appropriate compensation design to support our strategic objectives, but asked thoughtful questions about the Compensation Committee’s rationale for certain short- and long-term incentive compensation plan metrics versus other financial or operational metrics. • Investors supported adding a free cash flow measure to our 2026 executive compensation program, which we discussed as a key metric for the Company as it continues to seek to deploy and utilize capital efficiently. • Several investors suggested that the Compensation Committee consider adding a financial metric to supplement rTSR for PSUs under our long-term incentive compensation program.						• The Compensation Committee took all investor feedback into account when reviewing the design of our fiscal 2026 compensation programs, and the Company continued to focus on providing transparent disclosures in the CD&A linking compensation decisions to corporate strategy and long-term shareholder value creation. • The Compensation Committee determined to add a free cash flow measure as an additional performance metric under our fiscal 2026 short-term incentive compensation plan. • The Compensation Committee, having considered market practice among our compensation peers and our focus on long-term growth, determined to add a three-year average annual organic revenue growth rate target as an additional PSU award performance measure under our fiscal 2026 long-term incentive compensation plan to supplement rTSR.

24 HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement

The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the results of shareholder advisory votes and shareholder input on executive compensation when making future decisions relating to our executive compensation program and compensation for our Named Executive Officers.

Fiscal 2025 Compensation Program Design

In establishing our fiscal 2025 executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee continued to focus on pay for performance and competitive pay, with an emphasis on total direct compensation. The Committee made the following executive pay decisions for our Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2025, consistent with its compensation philosophy and in consultation with Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC ("Pearl Meyer"), the Committee’s independent compensation consultant:

• Approved between 4% - 7% annual salary merit increases for certain Named Executive Officers based on considerations of individual performance and market position.

• Structured annual performance bonus opportunities under our fiscal 2025 short-term incentive compensation plan as follows:

◦ Capped bonus pool funding at 200% to reward overachievement against ambitious financial targets, while maintaining wider performance ranges between threshold, target and maximum performance for each metric in recognition of continued macroeconomic uncertainties that could materially impact financial results;

◦ Set applicable revenue and profitability targets at 60% and 40% relative weighting, respectively, for both our corporate and business unit leaders to align with the Company’s strategic focuses on transformational revenue growth and shareholder value creation; and

◦ Determined to exclude from applicable adjusted revenue and business unit revenue results the portion, if any, of fiscal 2025 revenue from North America disposables sales to CSL under its U.S. supply agreement expiring in December 2025 that exceed the amount of fiscal 2025 revenue from North America disposable sales to CSL contemplated in the applicable revenue performance targets set by the Committee based on the Company’s fiscal 2025 annual operating plan (see "2025 Bonus Plan Performance Targets and Funding" beginning on page 31 for more information).

• Increased annual long-term incentive award grant values for Named Executive Officers based on considerations of individual performance and market position, with annual award grant values allocated (i) for our CEO, 60% to PSUs, 20% to RSUs and 20% to stock options and (ii) for our other Named Executive Officers, 50% to PSUs, 25% to RSUs and 25% to stock options.

• Retained rTSR as the sole performance measure for PSUs to drive continued emphasis on shareholder return.

2025 Compensation Highlights

Our positive financial results for fiscal 2025 despite a challenging and uncertain macroeconomic environment directly affected our Named Executive Officers’ compensation, which was directly aligned with business results, shareholder return and our pay- for- performance philosophy. Most notably:

• The Company's performance against corporate and business unit targets set by the Committee under our fiscal 2025 short- term incentive plan resulted in the following annual bonus pool funding levels for our Named Executive Officers:

◦ 82.3% of target funding for corporate executives (excluding Messrs. Galvin and Strong), based on 76.8% adjusted revenue and 90.5% adjusted EPS achievement against fiscal 2025 targets, with such metrics weighted 60% and 40%, respectively;

◦ 91.7% of target funding for Mr. Galvin, based on 91.7% Plasma and Blood Center business unit revenue and 91.8% Company adjusted operating income achievement against fiscal 2025 targets, with such metrics weighted 60% and 40%, respectively; and

◦ 36.7% of target funding for Mr. Strong, based on below-threshold achievement for Hospital business unit revenue and 91.8% Company adjusted operating income achievement against fiscal 2025 targets, with such metrics weighted 60% and 40%, respectively.

• PSU awards previously granted to our Named Executive Officers with performance periods ending in fiscal 2025, all of which were based on the Company’s rTSR over a three-year performance period, achieved between 176% to 200% of target.

For further discussion, see "Annual Short-Term Incentive Compensation" beginning on page 29 and "Long-Term Incentive Award Payouts" on page 35 .

Strong Governance and Pay Practices

We believe that our executive compensation program supports our business strategies and talent management objectives and is consistent with governance best practices that serve our shareholders’ long-term interests.

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement 25

The following chart lists some of the highlights of our program design and pay practices:

☑

WHAT WE DO

☒

WHAT WE DON’T DO

• Balanced incentive programs that link pay outcomes to execution of business strategy (i.e., pay for performance) , with a significant portion of compensation “at-risk”

• Maintain meaningful share ownership guidelines for directors and executive officers

• Maintain robust clawback provisions that apply to our short-term cash awards and long-term equity awards

• Conduct an annual risk assessment

• Consult with an independent compensation consultant

• Provide for double-trigger change in control benefits

• Conduct regularly scheduled executive sessions without management present

• No gross-up provisions for excise taxes in change-in-control agreements

• No hedging or pledging of Haemonetics stock, in accordance with our Securities Trading Policy

• No pension or post-employment benefit plans for Named Executive Officers

• No repricing of stock options without shareholder approval

HOW WE DETERMINE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Compensation Philosophy

The key objectives of our executive compensation philosophy are to:

• Attract, retain and motivate exceptional leaders dedicated to the success of the organization;

• Maximize individual and Company performance;

• Display a clear correlation between the cost of compensation and pay for performance; and

• Align the interests of executives with shareholders.

In furtherance of these objectives, the Company has adopted the following practices:

• Offer market competitive compensation opportunities, referencing median total direct compensation while maintaining maximum flexibility to determine individual compensation based on the executive’s responsibilities, experience and performance;

• Pay for performance through a mix of short- and long-term incentive compensation where above-market performance by the Company is rewarded with above-market compensation and underperformance results in lower compensation; and

• Promote ownership in the Company through stock-based compensation and share ownership guidelines.

Participants in the Compensation Setting Process

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Compensation Committee establishes our executive compensation program philosophy, plan design and administration rules and is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (subject to the Board’s ratification of CEO compensation). The Committee is comprised solely of independent, non-employee members of the Board. The Committee works closely with both its independent compensation consultant and management to examine the effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program throughout the year. For more information about the Committee and its duties, please see “Committees of the Board—Compensation Committee” beginning on page 15 of this Proxy Statement.

INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

The Compensation Committee retained Pearl Meyer as its fiscal 2025 independent compensation consultant to, among other things, assist it in structuring the Company’s fiscal 2025 compensation programs and in its deliberations. Pearl Meyer reported directly and exclusively to the Committee, and neither Pearl Meyer nor any of its respective affiliates provided other services to the Company or management in fiscal 2025. During fiscal 2025, Pearl Meyer provided to the Committee, among other services:

• Expertise-based advice;

• Research and analytical services, including competitive market data benchmarking and analyses, recommendations on peer group compos ition and compensation recommendations for our executives and directors based on the foregoing;

• Updates on compensation trends and regulatory developments;

• Review and commentary on our proxy disclosures and management recommendations concerning our executive compensation programs; and

• Attendance and participation in meetings of the Compensation Committee.

26 HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement

Prior to engaging Pearl Meyer for fiscal 2025, the Committee evaluated Pearl Meyer’s independence and any potential conflicts of interest under relevant SEC rules and NYSE listing standards and determined that Pearl Meyer satisfied the requirements for independence. The Compensation Committee has sole authority to approve the independent compensation consultant’s compensation, determine the scope of its services, evaluate its performance and terminate or continue to retain the independent compensation consultant. The Committee annually reviews its independent compensation consultant engagement, typically at the beginning of each fiscal year.

MANAGEMENT

During fiscal 2025, certain members of management supported the Committee with respect to the following, among other things:

• Recommending performance metrics and goals for Committee review and approval;

• Presenting financial results measured against performance and providing compensation cost analyses;

• Reviewing executive performance and providing leadership competency assessments; and

• Implementing and communicating Committee decisions.

No executive officer participates in the deliberations of the Committee regarding his or her own compensation.

Peer Group and Market Data

When reviewing compensation programs for, and setting the compensation of, our Named Executive Officers, the Committee considers the compensation practices of specific peer companies as well as market data from published surveys. With the assistance of its independent compensation consultant, the Committee selects a peer group of companies that are comparable in terms of size and industry and reviews the composition of this peer group at least annually. In setting the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, the Committee, with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant, evaluates each Named Executive Officer’s compensation relative to the median market data for the respective position based on our peer group and industry published surveys. However, the Committee does not strictly tie target compensation to the median of our peer group or survey data, but also considers Company and individual performance, experience and scope of role when determining the appropriate level of compensation for each executive.

PEER GROUP FOR SETTING FISCAL 2025 COMPENSATION

In consultation with Pearl Meyer, the Committee reviewed and updated the Company’s peer group in February 2024 for purposes of setting fiscal 2025 compensation. The Committee considered a varie ty of factors designed to foster year-over-year consistency in peer group composition to the extent possible while recommending a group of companies that, in the aggregate, reflect Haemonetics' profile and position Haemonetics near the median of those companies based on certain size and valuation parameters. In so doing, the Committee, with the assistance of Pearl Meyer, used a filtration methodology that began with a large pool of U.S. publicly-traded companies in the healthcare equipment and supplies or life sciences and tools and services industries. The Committee then considered potential peers based on certain size and valuation metrics (including revenue, market capitalization, market capitalization to revenue ratio and employee count), generally within a range of one-third to three times that of the Company, and applied additional filters to identify profile-appropriate peers with comparable operations to the Company and/or overlap with proxy advisory firm-identified peers of the Company, reverse peers and peers of peers. Applyi ng this filtration methodology, the Committee determined to retain the same peer group for fiscal 2025 other than removing NuVasive, Inc. due to its acquisition by Globus Medical, Inc. and adding CONMED Corporation, a reverse peer and reasonably comparable company in terms of revenue and market capitalization.

The following table sets forth the peer group approved by the Committee for purposes of setting fiscal 2025 compensation, along with the Company’s relative position in the peer group in each of the categories.

PEER GROUP FOR SETTING FISCAL 2026 COMPENSATION

In consultation with Pearl Meyer, the Committee reviewed and updated the Company’s peer group in January 2025 for purposes of setting fiscal 2026 compensation. Applying a similar filtration methodology as described above, the Committee determined to retain the same peer group for fiscal 2026, other than adding Teleflex Incorporated, a common peer of peers, and removing Veradigm Inc. due to its stock exchange delisting.

Evaluating Executive Performance

The Committee reviews the performance of our Named Executive Officers through our annual performance cycle. No Named Executive Officer participates in the Committee’s discussion regarding his or her own compensation.

CEO EVALUATION
6

OTHER NEO EVALUATION
6

With respect to our CEO, our independent Board Chair gathers input from all non-employee directors and completes an assessment of the CEO’s performance. The Board Chair solicits feedback and assesses our CEO based on the Company’s performance, his individual performance and his interactions with directors. Once the Board Chair receives the solicited input, the Board Chair reviews all pertinent information with the Committee, which then evaluates the CEO’s performance in light of the goals and objectives relevant to the CEO’s compensation.

With respect to the other Named Executive Officers, our CEO completes an assessment of each such Named Executive Officer’s performance, and proposes compensation adjustments where appropriate. In completing his assessment, the CEO evaluates such officer’s (i) achievement of individual objectives and goals; (ii) contributions to the Company’s short- and long-term goals and performance; and (iii) leadership competencies and how such officer achieved the applicable goals.

The Committee determines, approves and submits to the independent members of the Board for ratification the CEO’s compensation, with the Board Chair and Compensation Committee Chair reviewing all pertinent information with the Board.

The Committee reviews and discusses the CEO’s performance assessments and compensation recommendations for each other Named Executive Officer and then approves the compensation payable to each other Named Executive Officer.

ELEMENTS OF TOTAL COMPENSATION

When setting compensation for our Named Executive Officers, the Committee focuses on total direct compensation. Total direct compensation includes three major components – base salary, annual short-term incentive compensation and annual long-term incentive compensation – all of which are designed to work together to drive a complementary set of behaviors and outcomes.

• Base salary. Base salary is intended to compensate for individual technical and leadership competencies required for such officer’s specific position and to provide economic security.

• Annual Short-Term Incentive Compensation . Annual short-term incentive compensation in the form of a market-competitive, performance-based cash bonus is designed to focus our Named Executive Officers on pre-set objectives each year and drive specific behaviors that foster short-term and long-term growth and profitability.

28 HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement

• Annual Long-Term Incentive Compensation . Annual long-term incentive compensation generally consists of PSUs, stock options and RSUs. Annual long-term incentive compensation is designed to align the interests of Named Executive Officers with the long-term growth interests of our shareholders, reward executives for shareholder value creation, recognize executives for their contributions to the Company and promote retention.

In addition to receiving direct compensation, our Named Executive Officers also participate in various employee benefit programs, as described in the “Other Benefits” section of this CD&A beginning on page 35 .

The following chart illustrates, for fiscal 2025, the distribution of value among the three elements of direct compensation for our CEO and, on average, for the other Named Executive Officers. For purposes of this illustration, the annual short-term incentive compensation component is based on the target annual short-term incentive opportunities awarded by the Committee for fiscal 2025 short-term incentive awards (for more information, see "How the 2025 Bonus Plan Works" beginning on page 29 ) and the annual long-term incentive compensation component is based on the grant value awarded by the Committee for fiscal 2025 annual long-term incentive awards before conversion to the various forms of equity awards (for more information, see “Annual Long-Term Incentive Awards" beginning on page 33 ). As a percentage of total annual compensation, approximately 88 % of our CEO’s compensation and, on average, 77% of our other Named Executive Officers’ compensation was variable because it was subject to performance goals, the fluctuations of our stock price, or both.

TARGET ANNUAL COMPENSATION MIX ( 1)

(1) Reflects annual target compensation mix as approved by the Committee in early fiscal 2025.

Base Salary

Base salary, which represents 12% of our CEO’s target total compensation and, on average, 23% of target total compensation for other Named Executive Officers, is paid to provide a fixed component of compensation for the technical and leadership competencies required for the respective position. Target base salary varies based on the field in which each executive operates, the scope of the position, the peer-group comparisons for similarly-situated executives, the experience and qualifications needed for the role, the executive’s performa nce and an assessment of internal equity among Company executives.

Early in fiscal 2025 , the Committee completed the process described above under “Evaluating Executive Performance” (beginning on page 28 ) and determined appropriate increases to base salaries for our Named Executive Officers based on individual performance and contributions and market considerations . Accordingly, fiscal 2025 base salaries for our Named Executive Officers were as follows:


Named Executive Officer	Fiscal 2024 Base Salary		Fiscal 2025 Base Salary		Percent Increase
Christopher A. Simon	$	1,100,000	$	1,100,000	—	%
James C. D'Arecca	$	551,250	$	580,000	5.2	%
Michelle L. Basil	$	520,262	$	541,072	4.0	%
Roy Galvin (1)	$	463,500	$	495,000	6.8	%
Stewart W. Strong	$	458,556	$	480,000	4.7	%

(1) Mr. Galvin's annual salary was increased in March 2025 to $550,000 in connection with his promotion to Executive Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer.

Annual Short-Term Incentive Compensation

HOW THE 2025 BONUS PLAN WORKS

Annual short-term incentive compensation supports the Committee’s pay-for-performance philosophy and aligns individual goals with Company goals. Under our short-term incentive compensation plan for fiscal 2025 (the “2025 Bonus Plan”), Named Exe cutive Officers are eligible for a cash award based on the Company’s attainment of pre-established performance goals that the Committee sets based on the Company’s annual operating plan approved by the Board. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Committee, with input from Pearl Meyer, structured the 2025 Bonus Plan as follows:

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement 29

Fiscal 2025 Performance Goals and Metrics

• Executive (non-Business Unit) Metrics. For each of our Named Executive Officers, other than Messrs. Galvin and Strong, the Committee tied the 2025 Bonus Plan to achievement of the following two performance goals, with adjusted revenue weighted 60% and adjusted EPS weighted 40% to align with the Company’s strategic focus on transformational revenue growth while also driving profitability:


Fiscal 2025 Metrics	Weighting	Description
Adjusted Revenue	60%	Adjusted revenue, which is intended to reflect organic growth, is calculated as revenue determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and adjusted to remove the impacts of currency. Additionally, the calculation of adjusted revenue results excludes the portion, if any, of fiscal 2025 revenue from North America disposables sales to CSL under its U.S. disposable supply agreement expiring in December 2025 that exceeds the amount of fiscal 2025 revenue from North America disposable sales to CSL contemplated in the adjusted revenue performance target set by the Committee based on the Company’s annual operating plan. It may also be adjusted for certain items that affect the comparability of results, including acquisitions or dispositions completed during the fiscal period, other specific large, unusual or nonrecurring items and changes in accounting principles pursuant to GAAP. The Committee selected adjusted revenue as a performance metric because it is a key component of our annual operating plan and is consistent with our strategic objective to drive transformational revenue growth.
Adjusted EPS	40%	Adjusted EPS is calculated as earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP and adjusted for certain items that affect the comparability of results, including acquisitions or dispositions completed during the fiscal period, other specific large, unusual or nonrecurring items and changes in accounting principles pursuant to GAAP. The Committee selected adjusted EPS as a performance metric because it is a key driver of shareholder return and aligns executives with shareholder value creation.

• Business Unit Metrics. For each of Messrs. Galvin and Strong, the Committee tied the 2025 Bonus Plan to achievement of the following two performance goals, with business unit revenue weighted 60% and adjusted operating income weighted 40% in recognition of their unique roles in leading revenue growth for their respective business units in fiscal 2025, while also aligning with the Company’s strategic focus on profitability consistent with other executives:


Fiscal 2025 Metrics	Weighting	Description
Business Unit Revenue (1)	60%	Business unit revenue is calculated as revenue determined in accordance with GAAP that is attributable to a specific business unit of the Company based on product-focused and customer-centric alignment, adjusted to remove the impacts of currency. Additionally, the calculation of business unit revenue results exclude the portion, if any, of fiscal 2025 revenue from North America disposables sales to CSL under its U.S. disposable supply agreement expiring in December 2025 that exceeds the amount of fiscal 2025 revenue from North America disposable sales to CSL contemplated in the applicable business unit performance target set by the Committee based on the Company’s annual operating plan. It may also be adjusted for certain items that affect the comparability of results, including acquisitions or dispositions completed during the fiscal period, other specific large, unusual or nonrecurring items and changes in accounting principles pursuant to GAAP. The Committee selected this performance metric for Mr. Galvin, with respect to the Global Plasma and Blood Center business unit revenue, and Mr. Strong, with respect to the Global Hospital business unit revenue, because each of Messrs. Galvin and Strong had direct responsibility for the revenue growth for such applicable business unit(s), which is a key component of our annual operating plan and is consistent with our strategic objective to drive transformational revenue growth.
Adjusted Operating Income	40%	Adjusted operating income is calculated as consolidated operating income determined in accordance with GAAP and adjusted to remove the impacts of currency and certain other items that affect the comparability of results, including acquisitions or dispositions completed during the fiscal period, other specific large, unusual or nonrecurring items and changes in accounting principles pursuant to GAAP. The Committee selected adjusted operating income as a performance metric because it is a key driver of shareholder return that Messrs. Galvin and Strong can meaningfully impact through effective leadership and management of business unit costs and opportunities.

(1) Business unit revenue includes (i) for Mr. Galvin, combined Global Plasma and Global Blood Center business unit revenue and (ii) for Mr. Strong, Global Hospital business unit revenue.

30 HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement

The Compensation Committee set fiscal 2025 growth targets for the 2025 Bonus Plan that, other than with respect to Global Plasma and Blood Center, exceeded fiscal 2024 performance levels and reflected, among other considerations, lower projected revenue contributions from North America disposable sales to CSL under its current U.S. supply agreement ending in December 2025, consistent with such amounts contemplated under the Company’s fiscal 2025 annual operating plan (see "2025 Bonus Plan Performance Targets and Funding" beginning on page 31 for more information). The Committee determined to maintain wider performance ranges between threshold, target and maximum performance in recognition of continued macroeconomic uncertainties. The Committee believed these financial performance goals were achievable, but appropriately challenging, based on a challenging and uncertain macroeconomic environment and internal budgeting and forecasting.

Fiscal 2025 Bonus Plan Target Payout Levels

The Committee set target payout levels for each Named Executive Officer (expressed as a percentage of base salary) based upon competitive market and internal equity considerations, and it set threshold performance requirements to earn a threshold award (50% of target award) and maximum performance requirements to earn a maximum award (200% of target award). For example, the maximum bonus payout for an individual with a targeted payout level of 50% of annual base salary would be 100% of annual base salary. Based upon competitive market and internal equity considerations, the Committee set 2025 Bonus Plan targets for Named Executive Officers, which are expressed as a percentage of base salary, at the levels set forth below:


Named Executive Officer	Fiscal 2024 Target	Fiscal 2025 Target
Christopher A. Simon	125%	125%
James C. D'Arecca	75%	80%
Michelle L. Basil	75%	80%
Roy Galvin	70%	75%
Stewart W. Strong	70%	75%

Bonuses paid to our Named Executive Officers under the 2025 Bonus Plan are based primarily upon the Company’s achievement of specified targets set by the Committee for the performance metrics described above under "Fiscal 2025 Performance Goals and Metrics" and are approved by the Compensation Committee. The compensation of our CEO is also ratified by the Board. The Compensation Committee has authority under the 2025 Bonus Plan to adjust final individual bonuses based on individual performance (within the range of 0 to 200% of target as described above), although any such adjustment is expected to be exercised infrequently. No such adjustments were made in fiscal 2025. After the close of fiscal 2025, the Committee received a report from manageme nt regarding Company performance against the pre-established performance goals as well as a recommendation as to an appropriate funding level for the 2025 Bonus Plan pool. The Committee then reviewed the Company’s financial performance against each goal and established the 2025 Bonus Plan pool. After establishing the 2025 Bonus Plan pool funding level, the Committee reviewed the individual performance for all Named Executive Officers and approved final awards.

2025 BONUS PLAN PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND FUNDING

The following table outlines the threshold, target and maximum financial performance goals for the 2025 Bonus Plan, as well as the results achieved. When setting fiscal 2025 Bonus Plan targets, the Committee determined to exclude from the applicable adjusted revenue and Global Plasma and Blood Center business unit revenue results the portion, if any, of fiscal 2025 revenue from North America disposables sales to CSL under its current U.S. supply agreement that exceed the amount of fiscal 2025 revenue from North America disposable sales to CSL contemplated in the applicable revenue performance targets set by the Committee based on the Company’s fiscal 2025 annual operating plan. The Committee believed this design supported its pay- for- performance philosophy by recognizing executives for achievement against revenue targets tied to the Company’s fiscal 2025 annual operating plan while avoiding rewarding executives for overachievement based on above-budgeted North America disposables sales to CSL under its current U.S. supply agreement that expires in December 2025.

2025 BONUS PLAN AWARDS AND RESULTS

Based upon the Company’s performance against the pre-established performance goals described above, the Committee set the overall funding level of the 2025 Bonus Plan pool at (a) 82.3% of target funding for Named Executive Officers, other than Messrs. Galvin and Strong, (b) 91.7% for Mr. Galvin and (c) 36.7% for Mr. Strong. Preliminary individual bonus payouts for Named Executive Officers were then calculated based on the overall funding level applicable to the executive as well as the targeted payout levels for each Named Executive Officer. The Committee then reviewed the performance of each individual during fiscal 2025, taking into consideration the recommendation of the CEO with respect to Named Executive Officers other than the CEO. The Committee then considered adjustments to the preliminary individual bonus payouts in accordance with the 2025 Bonus Plan (as described above) based on each Named Executive Officer’s performance during fiscal 2025.

Based on this alignment of performance, total fiscal 2025 short-term incentive payments for our Named Executive Officers are shown below:


Executive	Fiscal 2025 Bonus Target (% Salary)		Fiscal 2025 Bonus Target ($) (1)			Fiscal 2025 Bonus Actual (% Bonus Target)		Fiscal 2025 Bonus Actual ($) (1)
Christopher A. Simon	125	%		$	1,375,000	82.3	%		$	1,131,625
James C. D'Arecca	80	%		$	464,000	82.3	%		$	381,872
Michelle L. Basil	80	%		$	432,858	82.3	%		$	356,242

(2) Based on Mr. Galvin's annual salary of $550,000 as of the end of fiscal 2025 following his promotion to Executive Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer.

Annual Long-Term Incentive Awards

The Committee uses long-term incentive compensation to deliver competitive compensation that recognizes executives for their contributions to the Company and aligns the interests of Named Executive Officers with shareholders by focusing them on long- term growth and share performance. The Committee views long-term incentive awards as a significant element of total compensation at the executive level and a critical component of the Company’s executive compensation program.

FISCAL 2025 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD TYPES

In fiscal 2025, the total award values of annual long-term incentive awards granted to our CEO and to our other Named Executive Officers were allocated generally among the following, with the CEO's relative weighting of PSUs increasing to 60% (from 50% in fiscal 2024) to further enhance performance orientation and alignment with shareholders:

Award Type(s)

Vesting Period

Allocation Among Named Executive Officers

PSUs

Performance-based awards vest, if at all, at the end of a three-year performance period based upon satisfaction of performance criteria tied to relative total shareholder return, or rTSR (for more information, see "How We Establish rTSR Goals" below).

Stock Options

Four-year ratable vesting period.

RSUs

Three-year ratable vesting period.

The Committee considered this allocation of annual long-term incentive awards to be appropriate, as Company performance is reflected in PSUs and stock options (which have value to the extent the Company’s stock price increases from the stock price on the grant date), while grants of time-based RSUs allow the program to support retention throughout a full business cycle.

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement 33

HOW WE ESTABLISH rTSR GOALS

In implementing and setting goals for our PSU awards, the Committee considers market practice as well as our focus on driving shareholder value. For our fiscal 2025 PSU awards, the Committee determined to retain the PSU metric of rTSR (measured over a three-year performance period) because it directly links our Named Executive Officers' compensation to long-term shareholder return, in addition to being well received and supported by our shareholders.

The Committee did not make any design changes for fiscal 2025 PSU awards. Achievement under fiscal 2025 PSU awards is tied to the Company's rTSR relative to the components of the S&P MidCap 400 index during the three-year performance period from May 17, 2024 to May 16, 2027 (the Company has been a member of the S&P MidCap 400 Index since fiscal 2019). Depending on the Company’s rTSR performance, the number of shares that may be earned under these PSU awards ranges from 0% to 200% of target, as follows:

rTSR

Percentage of Target
Shares Earned

Below 30 th percentile

30 th to 50 th percentile (Threshold)

50% to 99%

51 st to 80 th percentile (Target)

100% to 200%

80 th percentile or higher (Maximum)

Capped at 200%

Similar to fiscal 2024 PSU awards, if the Company experiences negative total shareholder return during the performance period, the fiscal 2025 PSU award payout cannot exceed 100% of the target performance level.

INDIVIDUAL FISCAL 2025 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS

When setting annual long-term incentive compensation for Named Executive Officers in early fiscal 2025, the Committee employed the process described in the “Evaluating Executive Performance” section of this CD&A (beginning on page 28 ) and determined appropriate increases to annual long-term incentive grant values for our Named Executive Officers based on individual performance and contributions, market considerations and, with respect to our CEO, competitive positioning versus peers based on performance. After the Committee established a grant value for each Named Executive Officer’s fiscal 2025 annual long-term incentive award, that value was allocated between PSUs, stock options and RSUs as described above under "Fiscal 2025 Long- Term Incentive Award Types", with the exact number of PSUs and RSUs issued based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and the exact number of stock options determined using the applicable Black- Scholes value.

The table below lists the grant value of fiscal 2025 annual long-term incentive awards granted by the Committee:


Named Executive Officer	Fiscal 2024 Annual Long-Term Incentive Grant Value Awarded		Fiscal 2025 Annual Long-Term Incentive Grant Value Awarded (1)
Christopher A. Simon	$	6,500,000	$	7,000,000
James C. D'Arecca	$	1,500,000	$	1,700,000
Michelle L. Basil	$	1,500,000	$	1,600,000
Roy Galvin	$	800,000	$	1,100,000
Stewart W. Strong	$	1,000,000	$	1,100,000

Other Benefits

The Company offers retirement and health and welfare benefits, as well as an employee stock purchase plan, to eligible employees, including Named Executive Officers. The Company offers very limited perquisites to executive officers.

RETIREMENT AND HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFITS

We maintain a tax-qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan, the Haemonetics Corporation Savings Plus Plan, that is available to all eligible United States employees. As part of our overall compensation offering, our health and welfare benefits are intended to be competitive with peer companies. The health and welfare benefits we provide to our Named Executive Officers are offered to all of our eligible United States-based employees and include medical, dental, prescription drug, vision, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, critical illness, accident, short- and long-term disability coverage and an employee assistance program. The Company’s long-term disability coverage includes supplemental coverage available for eligible employees, including each of our Named Executive Officers, who earn salaries in excess of amounts covered under our base plan.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

We maintain a broad-based employee stock purchase plan, the Haemonetics Corporation 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which provides eligible employees, including our Named Executive Officers, with the opportunity to purchase Company shares through payroll deductions. We believe that providing an employee stock purchase plan is consistent with our philosophy that compensation should align the interests of employees and shareholders and promote a long-term shareholder perspective. The ESPP is intended to be “qualified” under Internal Revenue Code Section 423 and offers eligible employees the opportunity to purchase Company shares during consecutive offering periods of approximately six months that generally begin with the first of May and November each year. Messrs. Galvin and Simon participated in the ESPP during fiscal 2025.

OTHER COMPENSATION AND POLICIES

Employment, Change in Control and Severance Arrangements

Our success in building the sound leadership team in place today was due in large part to our ability to utilize a full complement of compensation tools, including employment, change in control and severance agreements. We believe that together, our employment, change in control and severance agreements, which are guided by our compensation philosophy and governance practices, foster stability within our executive leadership team by helping our executives to better focus their time, attention and capabilities on our business and assist the Company in recruiting and retaining key executives. Details about specific arrangements made with our Named Executive Officers are set forth below.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH CHRISTOPHER A. SIMON

In connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer in fiscal 2017, Mr. Simon entered into an employment agreement with the Company (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement renews automatically each year and provides for a specified annual base salary and a target variable compensation award based on performance, both of which are subject to annual adjustment. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Simon is also eligible to receive annual equity grants under the Company’s long-term incentive compensation plans, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Employment Agreement also entitles Mr. Simon to participate in all other elements of the Company’s standard employee benefit programs generally available to the Company’s senior executives, to reimbursement for certain housing and travel expenses during his first 18 months of employment (which have since expired), and to reimbursement of up to $20,000 in legal fees in connection with the enforcement of the Employment Agreement.

Additionally, the Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Simon will be entitled to severance benefits under the terms of separate executive severance and change in control agreements between Mr. Simon and the Company. The terms of Mr. Simon’s severance and change in control agreements with the Company are discussed below.

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement 35

SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENTS WITH NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Company has entered into severance and change in control agreements with certain of its senior executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers. The purpose of these agreements is to provide financial security if there is a loss of employment in certain circumstances (as discussed in detail below) so the executive can better focus his or her time, attention and capabilities on our business. In consideration for these benefits, each executive agrees to a release of claims and customary confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation clauses in favor of the Company.

Severance Agreements. Each agreement provides that if the executive is terminated for reasons other than death, disability or cause or, solely in the case of Mr. Simon, if he resigns due to constructive termination (as such terms are defined in the severance agreement), the executive is entitled to receive the following benefits:

• An amount equal to (i) for Mr. Simon, two times his base salary payable over a 24-month period and (ii) for our other Named Executive Officers, one times the person’s base salary payable over a 12-month period;

• An amount equal to the cost of the Company’s portion of the monthly premium for the executive’s medical and dental insurance coverage for a period of (i) two years for Mr. Simon, payable over a 24-month period, and (ii) one year for our other Named Executive Officers, payable over a 12-month period;

• A pro-rated annual bonus for the year in which the executive was terminated based on the Company’s actual performance during the applicable bonus period and assuming full achievement of any individual performance goals;

• Outplacement services for up to 12 months; and

• If any benefit provided under the agreement is subject to excise taxes under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 280G”), the benefit will either be reduced to the Section 280G cap or paid in full depending on which provides the better after-tax position for the executive.

Each severance agreement (other than Mr. Simon’s, which continues for the duration of his employment as Chief Executive Officer) has an initial term of three years and will automatically renew for successive one-year periods, unless terminated by either party. Severance benefits payable under each agreement will immediately cease if the executive violates certain confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition obligations and, in the event of such violation, the executive will be required to repay to the Company any installments of continued base salary or payments for welfare benefits that were previously paid to the executive under the severance agreement. To the extent the executive is entitled to severance benefits under a change in control agreement, the executive will not receive any benefits under the severance agreement.

Double-Trigger Change in Control Agreements. Each agreement provides that if a change in control occurs during the term of the agreement and the executive is terminated for reasons other than death, disability or cause (as defined in the change of control agreement) or terminates his or her employment due to constructive termination (as defined in the change in control agreement) within two years after the occurrence of the change in control (this is known as a "double trigger"), the executive is entitled to receive the following benefits:

• A lump sum cash payment equal to (i) for Mr. Simon, 2.99 times the sum of his base salary plus target annual short-term incentive compensation and/or any other annual cash incentive award opportunity at the time of termination or change in control (whichever is higher), and (ii) for our other Named Executive Officers, two times the sum of their salary plus target annual short-term incentive compensation and/or any other annual cash incentive award opportunity at the time of termination or change in control (whichever is higher);

• A lump sum cash payment equal to (i) for Mr. Simon, thirty-six times the cost of the Company’s portion of the monthly premium for the executive’s medical, dental, life and disability insurance coverage, and (ii) for our other Named Executive Officers, twenty-four times the cost of the Company’s portion of the monthly premium for the executive’s medical, dental, life and disability insurance coverage;

• Outplacement services for up to 12 months;

• Immediate and full vesting of all time-based equity awards and pro rata vesting of performance-based awards, provided that in the event of a conflict between the terms of the change in control agreement and the terms of an individual equity award with respect to vesting of equity awards upon a change in control, the terms of the individual equity award will control if such award provides more favorable vesting terms than the change in control agreement (for a discussion of change in control terms under our equity awards see “Change in Control and Acceleration in Equity Awards” below); and

• If any benefit provided under the agreement is subject to excise taxes under Section 280G, the benefit will either be reduced to the Section 280G cap or paid in full depending on which provides the better after-tax position for the executive

For purposes of the agreements, a change in control is defined as a person or group acquiring 50% or more of the Company’s stock, the sale of substantially all the assets of the Company to an unrelated person, our “Incumbent Board” ceasing for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board, or the consummation of certain mergers, reorganizations, consolidations and share exchanges. Each change in control agreement (other than Mr. Simon’s, which continues for the duration of his employment as Chief Executive Officer) has an initial term of five years and will automatically renew for successive five-year periods, unless terminated by either party. Benefits payable under each agreement will immediately cease if the executive violates certain confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition obligations and, in the event of such violation, the executive will be required to repay to the Company any cash amounts that were previously paid to the executive under the agreement.

36 HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement

The amount of the estimated payments and benefits payable to our Named Executive Officers, assuming termination or a change in control of the Company as of the last day of fiscal 2025, is shown in the table on page 45 under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

CHANGE IN CONTROL AND ACCELERATION IN EQUITY AWARDS

Each option award agreement and RSU award agreement provides that if a change in control occurs and the executive is terminated for reasons other than death, disability or cause (as defined in each agreement) or terminates his or her employment due to certain qualifying terminations within two years after the occurrence of the change in control (i.e., a double trigger), then all unvested stock options and time-based RSUs will immediately vest. Additionally, option and RSU awards will vest in full upon termination of employment due to the executive’s death and, in the case of option awards and RSU awards (other than fiscal 2019 RSU awards), will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule upon a termination of employment due to the executive’s disability (as defined in the award agreement).

PSUs provide for “double-trigger” vesting in connection with a change in control. If an executive’s employment is terminated involuntarily without cause or voluntarily for good reason (as defined in the agreement) within two years following a change in control, the requirement for vesting will be met and the executive will be entitled to receive the greater of the amount the executive would receive based on performance achieved as of the change in control date and a pro rata portion of the target award amount based on the period of time elapsed during the performance period. Additionally, upon a termination of employment due to the executive’s death, disability or a qualifying retirement (each as defined in the agreement), the executive will remain eligible to receive a pro rata portion of the target award amount at the end of the performance period based on the period of time elapsed during the performance period and achievement of the relevant performance metrics.

Under the terms of our award agreements, a "change in control" would occur upon the acquisition of 50% or more of the Company’s shares of common stock, the sale of substantially all Company assets, the turnover of a majority of our then-current Board in a proxy contest, or upon certain mergers, reorganizations, consolidations and share exchanges.

Share Ownership Policy

Our Board believes strongly in aligning the long-term interests of our directors and executives with those of our shareholders. We maintain through our Compensation Committee a share ownership policy requiring that our Board Chair, all other non-employee directors, our CEO and our other Named Executive Officers own shares of Haemonetics common stock at or above prescribed levels based on their role at the Company. Specifically, those individuals must comply with the following ownership requirements (expressed as a multiple of annual retainer or base salary) within five years of their respective election as a director, date of hire as an executive officer, or date of appointment to a new role requiring them to maintain a higher level of stock ownership under the policy:


Organizational Role	Share Ownership Requirement	Compliance Status (1)
Non-Employee Directors (Other than Board Chair)	5X annual cash retainer	Compliant
Board Chair	2X non-employee director dollar threshold	Compliant
Chief Executive Officer	5X base salary	Compliant
Other Named Executive Officers	2X base salary	Compliant or within 5-year grace period

(1) The Compensation Committee reviews executive and director share ownership compliance at least annually at its October meeting. Compliance status above is measured as of the last day of the Company’s fiscal 2025.

Only the value of shares owned outright and unvested RSUs are credited toward the share ownership requirements above. No unvested PSUs or outstanding stock options (regardless of whether or not vested) are credited towards the ownership requirements. The Compensation Committee may temporarily suspend or permanently remove an individual’s share ownership requirement for hardship due to unforeseen and compelling circumstances.

Clawback Policies

To further align the executive compensation program with the interests of shareholders and our culture of ethical behavior, our Principles of Corporate Governance include a clawback provision that provides for recovery of short-term incentive compensation and long-term equity awards (both time-based and incentive-based) of an executive officer in the event that (a) the Company is required to make an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, as a result of misconduct; or (b) such executive officer violates the Company’s Code of Conduct in a manner that causes material harm to the Company. In such an event, the Company may – as determined to be appropriate by the Board and in all cases as required by law – seek reimbursement of all or a portion of such executive officer’s short-term and long-term compensation granted or earned. Additionally, the Company maintains a separate compensation recovery policy that is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and corresponding SEC and NYSE rules (the “Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy”). The clawback provisions under our Governance Principles and Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy are incorporated by reference into our 2025 Bonus Plan and long-term equity award agreements, and do not preclude recovery under the other’s provisions or as otherwise required by law, provided that no executive officer will be subject to duplicative recovery under the Governance Principles and Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy.

RISK ASSESSMENT OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAMS

At the Compensation Committee’s direction, representatives of the Company’s Human Resources department conducted a risk assessment of the Company’s compensation programs and practices during fiscal 2025. This risk assessment consisted of a review of cash and equity compensation provided to Company employees, with a focus on compensation payable to senior executives and incentive compensation plans which provide variable compensation to other Company employees based upon Company and individual performance. The Compensation Committee reviewed the findings of this assessment and agreed with the conclusion that our compensation programs are designed with the appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to the Company’s overall business strategy and do not create risk that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The following characteristics of our compensation programs support this finding:

• Our use of different types of compensation vehicles that provide a balance of short- and long-term incentives with fixed and variable components;

• Our practice of capping non-sales plan awards to limit windfalls;

• Our practice of looking beyond results-oriented performance in assessing the contributions of a particular executive;

• Our share ownership guidelines; and

• Our clawback policies applicable to our incentive plans.

IMPACT OF TAX ACCOUNTING ON COMPENSATION

Deductibility of Compensation

The impact of federal tax laws on our compensation programs is also considered by the Compensation Committee. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), as amended, generally limits the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to any one “covered employee” (which generally includes the Company’s Named Executive Officers) during any fiscal year. Under the rules in effect before 2018, compensation that qualified as “performance-based” under Section 162(m) was deductible without regard to this $1 million limit. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 repealed the exemption from the Section 162(m) deduction limit for performance-based compensation, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result, we expect that compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers in excess of $1 million generally will not be deductible.

Although our compensation programs take into consideration the Section 162(m) rules as a factor, this consideration will not necessarily limit compensation to amounts deductible under Section 162(m). Despite the changes to Section 162(m) the Compensation Committee currently expects to structure the Company’s executive compensation programs such that a significant portion of executive pay is subject to performance goals.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718. In determining the appropriate fiscal 2025 long-term incentive grant levels, the Company sought to balance its long-term incentive goals with the need to reduce shareholder dilution and manage stock compensation expense.

(1) Salaries for fiscal 2025 listed above differ slightly from the fiscal 2025 base salaries discussed in the CD&A because of the timing of fiscal 2025 salary increases, which were approved by the Compensation Committee for each Named Executive Officer and took effect during May 2024.

(2) Represents one-time cash bonuses in connection with new hire sign-on and entry into customary non-competition, non-solicitation and assignment of inventions agreement, payable following completion of the Named Executive Officer's first 60 days of employment.

(3) Represents the aggregate grant date fair value for, in the case of Stock Awards, time-based RSUs and performance-based PSUs, and in the case of Option Awards, stock options, in each case granted in the respective fiscal years set forth above and calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The grant date fair value of RSUs granted under our 2019 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended and restated, the "2019 Plan") are calculated using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. PSU values were determined based on the expected performance at the time of grant. The Company uses the Monte Carlo model to estimate the probability of satisfying the performance criteria and the resulting fair value of PSU awards with market conditions. If the maximum level of performance is assumed for the PSUs awarded in fiscal 2025, the value of Mr. Simon’s fiscal 2025 PSU awards would be $11,253,425 instead of $5,626,712 Mr. D'Arecca would be $2,277,464 instead of $1,138,732, Ms. Basil’s would be $2,143,314 instead of $1,071,657, Mr. Galvin would be $1,473,593 instead of $736,796 and Mr. Strong would be $1,473,593 instead of $736,796. The grant date fair value of options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date for awards under the 2019 Plan, and the weighted average assumptions specific to the underlying options in each case. For a detailed description of the assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of our Stock Awards and Option Awards, see Note 16 "Capital Stock" to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025. All RSU, PSU and stock option awards granted to Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2025 were made pursuant to the 2019 Plan.

(4) Represents cash payments under our annual short-term incentive compensation plans for fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025, as applicable.

(5) Represents (i) the Company's matching contributions under our 401(k) savings plan in the amount of $22,963, (ii) the Company paid portion of supplemental long-term disability insurance premiums in the amount of $22,273 and (iii) the Company paid portion of spousal travel to the Corporation's annual sales award meeting in the amount of $11,514 and the payment of taxes on such expense.

(6) Represents (i) the Company's matching contributions under our 401(k) savings plan in the amount of $20,600, (ii) the Company paid portion of supplemental long-term disability insurance premiums and (iii) commuter benefits under a program available to all Boston-based employees.

(7) Represents (i) the Company's matching contributions under our 401(k) savings plan in the amount of $21,962, (ii) the Company paid portion of supplemental long-term disability insurance premiums and (iii) commuter benefits under a program available to all Boston-based employees.

(8) Represents (i) the Company's matching contributions under our 401(k) savings plan in the amount of $20,368, (ii) the Company paid portion of supplemental long-term disability insurance premiums, and (iii) the Company paid portion of spousal travel to the Corporation's annual sales award meeting in the amount of $11,514 and the payment of taxes on such expense.

(9) Represents (i) the Company's matching contributions under our 401(k) savings plan in the amount of $20,420, (ii) the Company paid portion of supplemental long-term disability insurance premiums, and (iii) the Company paid portion of spousal travel to the Corporation's annual sales award meeting and the payment of taxes on such expense.

The target amount is based upon achievement within the target ranges for the performance measures listed in “2025 Bonus Plan Performance Targets and Funding” in the CD&A beginning on page 31 . The maximum amount represents 200% of target. The actual amounts earned by each Named Executive Officer are set forth under "2025 Bonus Plan Awards and Results" in the CD&A beginning on page 33 .

(2) Represents the threshold, target and maximum award amounts for PSU awards issued to our Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2025. The PSU award amounts will be determined based on the Company’s three-year total shareholder return relative to the components of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. For more information see "Individual Fiscal 2025 Annual Long-Term Incentive Awards" in the CD&A beginning on page 34 .

(3) Represents RSUs that vest in annual increments of one-third beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

(4) Represents option awards that vest in annual increments of 25% beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The exercise price of options awards equals the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

(5) Represents the aggregate grant date fair value for, in the case of Stock Awards, time-based RSUs and performance-based PSUs, and in the case of Option Awards, stock options, in each case calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement 45

(1) Based upon the price of $63.19, which was the closing price on the NYSE of our common stock on March 28, 2025, the last trading day of our common stock in fiscal 2025.

(2) Represents estimated payments for outplacement services pursuant to our executives' change in control and severance agreements.

(3) Employees that voluntarily retire from the Company after age 55 and that have completed five consecutive years of service with the Company remain eligible to receive a pro-rata portion of their PSU awards at the end of the performance period based on the period of time elapsed during the performance period and achiev ement of the relevant performance metrics. As of March 29, 2025, Mr. Simon was the only Named Executive Officer that was retirement eligible under this provision . None of our other NEOs were retirement eligible as of March 29, 2025 and accordingly would forfeit their PSUs upon termination.

(4) Payments and benefits are calculated assuming the death of the Named Executive Officer on March 29, 2025. In-the-Money-Value of Unvested Equity includes the value of (a) unvested option awards and RSU awards that accelerate upon the executive’s death plus (b) the pro rata value of the target award amount under outstanding PSU awards based on the time elapsed during the performance period through March 29, 2025 assuming the PSU award vests at target award amounts based on the relevant performance metrics. The actual amount payable under these PSU awards can be determined and paid, if at all, only at the end of the performance period and may be more or less than the target performance levels based on the terms of the applicable PSU.

(5) Payments and benefits are calculated assuming the Named Executive Officer’s employment was terminated for a disability as defined under his or her respective equity award agreements. In-the-Money-Value of Unvested Equity includes the value of (a) unvested option awards and RSU awards that will continue to vest according to their original vesting schedule, and (b) the pro rata value of the target award amount under outstanding PSU awards based on the time elapsed during the performance period through March 29, 2025, assuming the PSU award vests at target award amounts based on the relevant performance metrics. The actual amount payable under these PSU awards can be determined and paid, if at all, only at the end of the performance period and may be more or less than the target performance levels based on the terms of the applicable PSU.

(6) Payments and benefits are calculated assuming the Named Executive Officer’s employment was terminated by the Company without cause or, solely in the case of Mr. Simon, upon Mr. Simon’s resignation due to constructive termination (as defined in Mr. Simon’s severance agreement), on March 29, 2025 and payable as a lump sum.

(7) Payments and benefits are calculated assuming the Named Executive Officer’s employment was terminated by the Company without cause or by the Named Executive Officer for good reason on March 29, 2025 following a change in control and payable as a lump sum. Additionally, In-the-Money-Value of Unvested Equity assumes that PSU awards would vest at target award amounts. The actual amount payable under these awards can be determined only at the time of the change in control and may be more or less than the target performance levels based on the terms of the applicable PSU.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Simon. Our CEO pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calcu lated in a manner consistent with the SEC’s requirements. For fiscal 2025 , our median employee annual total compensation was $54,635. Our CEO’s annual total compensation was $10,722,488 . Accordingly, the ratio of our CEO’s annual total compensation to the median employee’s annual total compensation for our fiscal 2025 was 196 to 1.

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee and our CEO, we used the following methodology, material assumptions, adjustments and estimates:

• We determined that, as of March 29, 2025 (the date chosen for identifying our median employee), our employee population consisted of 3,023 employees worldwide. This date was chosen to facilitate ease of calculation as it aligns with the last day of our fiscal 2025.

• We used a consistently applied compensation measure to identify our median employee by comparing the base salary and hourly wages actually paid in fiscal 2025 as reflected in our payroll records. To make them comparable, base salaries and wages for newly hired employees who had worked less than a year were annualized.

• We used all of our worldwide employees, excluding Mr. Simon, in our analysis, and used the currency exchange rate in effect on March 29, 2025 to convert all currencies to U.S. dollars for the comparison. We did not make any cost of living adjustments in identifying the median employee.

• After we identified our median employee, we combined the elements of such employee’s compensation for the Company’s fiscal year ended March 29, 2025 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K.

• With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our fiscal 2025 Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement.

Because the SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices, the pay ratio reported by other companies in our peer group may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as these other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Pay Versus Performance

As described in greater detail in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 22 , our executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. The following table and related disclosures provide further “pay versus performance” disclosure with respect to our Chief Executive Officer, also referred to as our principal executive officer ("PEO"), and our other named executive officers, or NEOs, as contemplated by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.

Instead, it is a nuanced calculation that includes the increase or decrease in value of certain elements of compensation over each fiscal year, including compensation granted in a prior year, in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The amount of compensation ultimately received may, in fact, be different from the amounts disclosed in these columns.

(6) The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in our audited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year.

(7) Adjusted revenue is a non-GAAP number and represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs, including our CEO, for the most recently completed fiscal year to the Company’s performance. For purposes of the 2025 Bonus Plan, adjusted revenue equals fiscal 2025 total Company revenue determined in accordance with GAAP, or $1,360.8 million, adjusted to exclude the impacts of currency as well as the sale of the Company’s Whole Blood product line within its Blood Center business unit in January 2025, which occurred after the Compensation Committee set performance goals under the 2025 Bonus Plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. As discussed in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, adjusted revenue results also exclude approximately $14.0 million of fiscal 2025 revenue from North America disposables sales to CSL, which represents the portion of such fiscal 2025 North America disposables sales to CSL that exceeded the amount contemplated in the adjusted revenue performance targets set by the Committee based on the Company’s fiscal 2025 annual operating plan. For more information, see "Annual Short-Term Incentive Compensation" beginning on page 29 .

ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION IN THE PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE TABLE

As described in more detail in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 22 , the Company’s executive compensation program reflects our pay-for-performance philosophy. We selected adjusted revenue as our Company Selected Measure for purposes of the Pay Versus Performance Table because it is a key performance metric within our 2025 Bonus Plan that aligns with the Company’s strategic objective to drive transformational revenue growth. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, not all of those Company measures are presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table above (for additional information on such performance measures, please refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 22 ). In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following graphic depictions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE TABULAR LIST OF MOST IMPORTANT FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES FOR ALL NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025

As described in greater detail in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 22 , our compensation philosophy emphasizes a pay-for-performance culture focused on the long-term interests of our shareholders. We utilize metrics for our short- and long-term incentive compensation programs that are designed to drive short-term and long-term growth and profitability and link our Named Executive Officers' compensation pay outcomes to execution of business strategy and shareholder value creation.

Listed below are the financial performance measures which in our assessment represent the most important performance measures we used to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs, including our CEO, to Company performance for fiscal 2025.


Adjusted EPS*
Adjusted Operating Income*
Adjusted Revenue*
Business Unit Revenue*
Relative Total Shareholder Return

* Adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income, adjusted revenue and business unit revenue are non-GAAP financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations and represent the performance metrics for our Named Executive Officers under the 2025 Bonus Plan, as described in more detail in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 22 . For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 22 and to Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Timing of Equity Awards

The Compensation Committee approves all long-term incentive compensation for our Named Executive Officers. The Committee meets in mid-May each year to approve annual equity award grants to our Named Executive Officers, with individual grant values generally allocated between PSUs, RSUs and option awards (see "Fiscal 2025 Long-Term Incentive Award Types" beginning on page 33 ). This meeting is scheduled each year to occur at least two business days following the public release of the Company’s earnings results for the prior fiscal year, at which time the Company generally expects all material nonpublic information to have been disclosed publicly and its regular trading window for its first fiscal quarter to have opened. The Committee also has authority to approve off-cycle grants for Named Executive Officers, which typically occur in connection with a new hire and are structured such that the grant date coincides with the first business day of the month following the Committee’s approval of such awards. T o the extent applicable, the Committee will evaluate the potential impact of material nonpublic information when considering prospective equity awards to Named Executive Officers and does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

The Compensation Committee did not grant any equity awards to Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2025 during a period beginning four business days before, or one business day after (i) the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-Q or (ii) or the filing or furnishing of a current report on Form 8-K that discloses material non-public information. The Compensation Committee granted the following stock option awards to Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2025 during a period beginning four business days before, or one business day after the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-K, but subsequent to our earlier disclosure on May 9, 2024 of our fiscal 2024 earnings results on Form 8-K:

Audit Committee Report

NATURE OF THE REPORT

The material in this report is not “soliciting material,” is not deemed filed with the SEC and is not to be incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) is currently comprised of three directors, each of whom meets the applicable independence and experience requirements of the SEC and the NYSE, as determined by the Board. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

The primary responsibility of the Committee is to oversee the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and to report the results of their activities to the Board regularly. While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in its charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s consolidated financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and for the appropriateness of the accounting principles and reporting policies that are used by the Company. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the Company’s consolidated financial statements and for reviewing the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. In so doing, it is the responsibility of the Committee to maintain free and open communication between the Committee, the independent registered public accounting firm, internal auditors and management of the Company. The Committee is also directly responsible for the appointment, termination and compensation of the independent registered public accounting firm.

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement 55

The Committee me t nine times during fiscal 2025. The meetings were designed, among other things, to facilitate and encourage communication among the Committee, management, the internal audit function and Ernst & Young LLP. The Committee discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the overall scope and plans for its audits and the Committee regularly met with Ernst & Young LLP without the presence of management. Ernst & Young LLP has unrestricted access to the Committee.

The Committee reviewed and discussed with management and Ernst & Young LLP the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025. Management represented to the Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Discussions about the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included the independent registered public accounting firm’s judgments about the overall quality of the statements, not just their technical compliance. The Committee focused on the accounting principles used, the reasonableness of significant judgments, management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and the clarity of disclosures in the Company’s financial statements. The Committee also discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed with audit committees by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. Ernst & Young LLP provided the Committee with written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” as currently in effect, and the Committee discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its independence from our Company.

When considering Ernst & Young LLP’s independence, the Committee considered whether its provision of services to our Company beyond those rendered in connection with its audit of our consolidated financial statements and review of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q was compatible with Ernst & Young LLP maintaining their independence.

Based on the Committee’s review and discussion with management and Ernst & Young LLP and the Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of Ernst & Young LLP to the Committee, the Committee has recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025.

Upon the Effective Date, no further awards were granted under the 2005 Plan; however, each outstanding award under the 2005 Plan will remain outstanding under that plan and continue to be governed under its terms and any applicable award agreement. On August 4, 2023, our shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2019 Plan that increased the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan by 2,966,231 additional shares, from 1,975,970 shares to 4,942,201 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided by the terms of the 2019 Plan, as amended and restated.

Additionally, shares of common stock subject to outstanding RSU, PSU and option grants under the 2005 Plan as of the Effective Date that terminate, expire or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered on or after the Effective Date, without having been exercised, vested or paid under the 2005 Plan are added to the share reserve under the 2019 Plan at the rates described in the preceding sentence.

• Via the Internet. You may vote by proxy via the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice.

• By Telephone. If you requested printed copies of proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy via telephone by calling the toll free number found on the proxy card.

• By Mail. If you requested printed copies of proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy via mail by filling out the proxy card (you must be sure to complete, sign and date the proxy card) and returning it in the envelope provided.

• In Person. You may vote in person at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. We will provide you with a ballot when you arrive. Shareholders who plan to attend the meeting must present valid photo identification. Shareholders of record will be verified against an official list available at the registration area. We reserve the right to deny admittance to anyone who cannot show valid identification or sufficient proof of share ownership as of the record date.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, which is known as being held in “street name,” you will receive separate voting instructions with your proxy materials. If you hold your shares in street name, your ability to vote by Internet or by telephone depends on the voting process of the bank, broker or other holder of record that holds your shares. Although most banks, brokers and other holders of record also offer Internet and telephone voting, availability and specific procedures will depend on their voting arrangements. Please follow their directions carefully. If you want to vote shares that you hold in street name at the meeting, you must request a legal proxy from the bank, broker or other holder of record that holds your shares and present that proxy, along with valid photo identification and sufficient proof of share ownership as of the record date, at the meeting. We reserve the right to deny admittance to anyone who cannot show valid identification or sufficient proof of share ownership as of the record date.

Even if you plan to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we encourage you to vote in advance using one of the voting methods described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting. Directions to the meeting may be obtained by contacting Investor Relations at (781) 848-7100. You may also contact us in writing at the following address: Haemonetics Corporation, 125 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attention: Investor Relations.


Can I change my vote after I have voted?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders by: (1) filing with our Corporate Secretary a written notice of revocation, (2) executing a later dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to our Corporate Secretary or (3) attending the meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy). If your shares are held in street name, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee to revoke your proxy or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares at the meeting, you may change your vote by attending the meeting and voting in person. Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy should be sent to the attention of our Corporate Secretary, Haemonetics Corporation, 125 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02110 at or before the final vote at the meeting.

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION | 2025 Proxy Statement 61


What vote is required to approve each proposal and how are votes counted?

Election of directors (Item 1) will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not have any effect on this proposal. Accordingly, the nominees receiving the highest number of “for” votes at the meeting will be elected as directors. However, under a policy adopted by the Board, in an uncontested election, any nominee for director who does not receive the favorable vote of at least a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director is required to tender his or her resignation to the Board, which will consider whether to accept the resignation. This is an uncontested election of directors because the number of nominees for director does not exceed the number of directors to be elected. Accordingly, if a nominee fails to receive the favorable vote of at least a majority of the votes cast with respect to such nominee, then within 90 days after the certification of the election results, the remaining members of our Board shall, through a process managed by the Governance and Compliance Committee and excluding the director nominee in question, determine whether to accept such nominee’s resignation. The determination of the Board will be publicly disclosed by the filing of appropriate disclosure with the SEC.

Approval of Item 2 and Item 3 require the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present, in person or represented by proxy, and voting on each such matter at the meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are included in the number of shares present or represented for purposes of a quorum but are disregarded for purposes of determining whether any of the proposals have been approved.

Banks, brokers or other holders of record may vote shares held for a customer in street name on matters that are considered to be “routine” even if they have not received instructions from their customer. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker, or other holder of record has not received voting instructions from a customer and cannot vote the customer’s shares because the matter is not considered routine.

One of the proposals before the meeting this year is deemed a "routine" matter, namely the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 28, 2026 (Item 3), which means that if your shares are held in street name your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares on that proposal if you do not provide timely instructions for voting your shares. The election of directors (Item 1) and the non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (Item 2) are not considered “routine” matters. As a result, if you do not instruct your bank, broker or nominee how to vote with respect to those matters, your bank, broker or nominee may not vote on those proposals and a broker "non-vote" will occur.


Where can I find the results of the meeting?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election and published in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we are required to file with the SEC within four business days following the meeting.


How do I request to receive proxy materials electronically or in hard copy?

The Notice will provide you with instructions regarding the method of delivery for future proxy materials. Choosing to access our proxy materials via the Internet or to receive future proxy materials by email will reduce the impact of our meetings on the environment as well as decrease the cost of printing and mailing documents to you. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it. If you hold your stock through a bank, broker or other holder of record and you would like to receive future proxy materials electronically, please refer to the information provided by that entity for instructions on how to elect this option.

If you prefer to receive paper copies of the proxy materials, you can still do so. You may request a paper copy by following the instructions provided in the Notice. The Notice also provides you with instructions on how to request paper copies of the proxy materials on an ongoing basis. There is no charge to receive the materials by mail. You may request printed copies of the materials until one year after the date of the meeting. If you have previously elected to receive printed proxy materials, you will continue to receive these materials in paper format until you elect otherwise.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION


Solicitation of Proxies

The Company will bear the costs of soliciting proxies, including the reimbursement to record holders of their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. Directors, officers and regular employees of the Company, without extra compensation, may solicit proxies personally or by mail, telephone or email.

The Company has engaged MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies and to provide related advice and informational support, for a services fee, plus customary disbursements, which are not expected to exceed $20,500 in total. The Company will bear these costs.


Shareholder Proposals for Next Year’s Annual Meeting

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act, some shareholder proposals may be eligible for inclusion in the proxy statement for the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In order for a shareholder proposal to be considered timely for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the written proposal must be received by the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s office, Haemonetics Corporation, 125 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, no later than February 10, 2026.

Under our By-Laws, if a shareholder wishes to present a proposal or wants to nominate candidates for election as directors at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, such shareholder must give written notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the address noted above. The Corporate Secretary must receive such notice not earlier than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and not less than 90 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is called for a date that is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice must be received by the Corporate Secretary not earlier than 120 days prior to the 2026 Annual Meeting and not later than the later of 90 days prior to such meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the 2026 Annual Meeting was made. Our By-Laws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a shareholder’s notice. The Company will not entertain any proposals or nominations that do not meet those requirements. If the shareholder does not also comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-4(c)(2) under the Exchange Act, the Company may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies it solicits to vote in accordance with its best judgment on any such shareholder proposal. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our By-Laws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must also comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.


Other Matters

Management knows of no matters which may properly be and are likely to be brought before the meeting other than the matters discussed herein. However, if any other matters properly come before the meeting, the proxy holders named in the enclosed proxy card will vote in accordance with their best judgment.


Incorporation by Reference

To the extent that this proxy statement has been or will be specifically incorporated by reference into any filing made by us under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the sections of the proxy statement entitled “Compensation Committee Report” and “Audit Committee Report” shall not be deemed to be so incorporated, unless specifically provided in any such filing.

Delivery of Documents to Shareholders Sharing an Address

APPENDIX A


Non-GAAP Financial Reconciliations

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). This Proxy Statement contains financial measures that are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. Management uses non-GAAP measures to monitor the financial performance of the business, make informed business decisions, establish budgets and forecast future results. Performance targets for management are also based on certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In this Proxy Statement, supplemental non-GAAP measures have been provided to assist shareholders in evaluating the performance of the Company’s core operations and provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. We strongly encourage shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

When used in this Proxy Statement, organic revenue growth excludes the impact of currency fluctuation, acquisitions and divestitures. Adjusted operating income, adjusted interest and other income/expense, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share exclude restructuring costs, restructuring related costs, digital transformation costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, asset impairments and write downs, amortization of fair value inventory step-up, accelerated device depreciation and related costs, costs related to compliance with the European Union Medical Device Regulation and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation, acquisition, integration and divestiture related costs, divestitures and sale of assets, certain tax settlements, unusual or infrequent and material litigation-related charges, and remeasurement of contingent consideration liability. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share also exclude the tax impact of these items. The adjustments to provision for income taxes are calculated based on the jurisdictions in which pre-tax adjustments occurred. Adjusted operating margin equals (i) adjusted operating income divided by (ii) revenue determined in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and additions to Haemonetics equipment, net of the proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

For additional details regarding the reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures below, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 8, 2025. This information is also available on the Investor Relations page on the Company’s website at www.haemonetics.com.
