Compensation Arrangements of Certain Officers**\n\n \n\nThe\nnew employment agreement entered into with Dr. Hartnett on June 23, 2026 amends and restates the employment agreement that the Company\nand Dr. Hartnett entered into in 2024 (which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K\ndated June 28, 2024). The new agreement has an initial term that expires on March 31, 2027 with automatic annual renewals thereafter\nunless either party gives 90 days’ notice of nonrenewal. The new agreement is substantially similar to Dr. Hartnett’s prior\nemployment agreement except that it provides for (i) Dr. Hartnett’s new base salary of $1,591,350 per year (a 3.0% increase over\nthe prior year), retroactive to June 1, 2026, (ii) certain modifications to his performance-based compensation tables, (iii) sizing of\nhis equity awards based on RBC’s average closing stock price for the six months immediately preceding the filing of the Annual\nReport on Form 10-K for the then-completed fiscal year (rather than the closing stock price on the award date as was the case under the\n2024 agreement), and (iv) modifications to the definitions in the 2024 agreement regarding the calculation of ROIC so that those definitions\nalign with the Company’s historical practice.\n\n \n\nThe\namendment entered into with Mr. Bergeron on June 23, 2026 amends the employment agreement that the Company and Mr. Bergeron entered into\nin 2024 (which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 28, 2024). The new\namendment provides for (i) sizing of his equity awards based on RBC’s average closing stock price for the six months immediately\npreceding the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the then-completed fiscal year (rather than the closing stock price on the\naward date as was the case under the current agreement before it was amended), and (ii) modifications to the definitions in his current\nagreement regarding the calculation of ROIC so that those definitions align with the Company’s historical practice. At the same\ntime that the Compensation Committee approved the amendment of Mr. Bergeron’s agreement, it approved a 3.0% increase in his annual\nbase salary to $713,482, effective June 1, 2026.\n\n \n\nThe\nforegoing description of Dr. Hartnett’s new employment agreement and Mr. Bergeron’s amendment to his current employment\nagreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, reference to the provisions of Exhibits\n10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.\n\n** **\n\n**Section\n9 – Financial Statements and Exhibits**"}
