(the “Company”), with guidance from the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, approved the grant of 2026 long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards to the Company’s named executive officers (“NEOs”).\n\nThe Committee approved a bifurcated grant structure and composition for 2026 LTI awards that will comprise 1/3 performance share units, 1/3 non-qualified stock options, and 1/3 restricted stock units, of which half will be granted in May 2026 and half will be granted in November 2026.\n\nThe Committee believes that bifurcating the 2026 LTI awards into two grants and modifying the composition of each grant improves the retentive and motivational objectives of the compensation program in the current environment.\n\nGeneral vesting schedules remain unchanged for the performance share units and the non-qualified stock options. The restricted stock units shall have a 3-year cliff vesting schedule.\n\nThe awards were granted under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.\n\nAdditional details follow for the May 2026 grant:\n\nNamed Executive Officer and TitlePSUs*Non-qualified Stock Options*RSUs*\n\nPatrick Kaltenbach,\n\nChief Executive Officer\n8382,005810\n\nShawn P.

Under this grant, the CEO’s target LTI value increased by approximately 6.25% versus 2025, while the NEOs’ target LTI value increased by approximately 12.5%.\n\nThe foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.\n\nSIGNATURES\n\n \n\nPursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.\n\n METTLER-TOLEDO INTERNATIONAL INC.\n\n   \n\nDate:  May 13, 2026By:/s/ Michelle M.
