Dear Liam,
On behalf of Teleflex Incorporated (the “Company”), I am pleased to confirm our offer of employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. You will be based at our facility located in Wayne, PA and report directly to me.

The key provisions of the offer package are as follows:
Base Salary: You will receive an annual base salary of $550,000.00, to be paid bi-weekly in arrears.
Annual Incentive Plan (AIP): In addition to your base salary, you will be eligible to participate in the Teleflex Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) with a target payout of 75% of your annual base salary. The AIP is designed to provide an annual cash incentive award to eligible employees who meet certain performance criteria. Any potential award would be based on your performance and the financial performance of Teleflex Incorporated. Teleflex reserves the right to change, add to, or modify this plan in whole or in part, for any reason without advance notice, during the plan year and from year to year.
Equity: You will be eligible for consideration to receive equity grants under the Company’s equity incentive plan. Equity grants typically occur annually based on individual performance and company financial performance. All equity grants are subject to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Teleflex Incorporated Board of Directors.
