On April 24, 2009, Littelfuse, Inc. (the “Company”) approved new forms of Restricted Stock
Award Agreement (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”) and Stock Option Award Agreement (the “Option
Agreement”) for grants under the Littelfuse, Inc. Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity
Plan”). The Restricted Stock Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of awards of restricted
stock under the Equity Plan, including, but not limited to, vesting, settlement, rights to
dividends, voting, transfer restrictions and forfeiture. A copy of the Restricted Stock Agreement
is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Option Agreement
sets forth the terms and conditions of awards of options for shares of the Company’s common stock
under the Equity Plan, including, but not limited to, vesting, settlement of the award, delivery of
shares, forfeiture, and transfer restrictions. A copy of the Option Agreement is attached hereto as
Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On April 27, 2009, the Company amended its Littelfuse, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan (the “SERP”), freezing benefit accruals for the 2009 calendar year. The amendment provides
that participants in the SERP will not receive credit, other than for vesting purposes, for
eligible earnings paid or for any months of service worked during 2009. All accrued benefits under
the SERP will remain intact, and service credits for vesting and retirement eligibility will
continue in accordance with the terms of the SERP. The SERP is a legacy plan with only two active
participants.
