Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Table” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
3


Provided, however, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) It will remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Registration Statement on Form S-8
We have acted as special Swiss counsel to Logitech International S.A., a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Switzerland (the Company), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the Registration Statement) to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the date hereof under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), with respect to the registration of an additional 3,250,000 registered shares of the Company, each with a par value of CHF 0.25 (the Shares), that may be delivered pursuant to the Plan (as defined below). As such counsel, we have been requested to give our opinion as to certain legal matters under Swiss law.
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning attributed to them in the Documents unless otherwise defined herein.
I.Basis of Opinion
This opinion is confined to and given on the basis of the laws of Switzerland in force at the date hereof as currently applied by the Swiss courts. In the absence of explicit statutory law, we base our opinion solely on our independent professional judgment. This opinion is also confined to the matters stated herein and is not to be read as extending, by implication or otherwise, to any document referred to in the Documents (other than listed below) or any other matter.
For purposes of this opinion we have not conducted any due diligence or similar investigation as to factual circumstances, which are or may be referred to in the Documents, and we express no opinion as to the accuracy of representations and warranties of facts set out in the Documents or the factual background assumed therein.
For the purpose of giving this opinion, we have only examined originals or copies of the following documents (collectively the Documents):
(a)A copy of the resolutions adopted by the Company's shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting (the AGM) held on September 14, 2022 (the Shareholder Resolutions), as reflected in the minutes of such meeting, dated September 14, 2022, regarding, among other things, the approval by the Company's shareholders of the reserve of an additional
3,250,000 Shares in the aggregate amount of Shares available for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the Plan);
(b)A copy of the minutes of the meeting of the Company's board of director held on June 28/29, 2022 and on May 15, 2023 (the Board Resolutions), including, among other things, a resolution approving the amendment and the restatement of the Plan and a resolution reserving Shares for use under the Plan;
(c)A copy of the Plan, as amended and restated effective September 14, 2022;
(d)A copy of the Company's Articles of Incorporation (statuts) in the form deposited with the Commercial Register of the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, dated October 10, 2022 (the Articles), including the conditional share capital (the Conditional Share Capital);
(e)A copy of the Company's Organizational Regulations, dated as of January 12, 2022 (the Organizational Regulations); and
(f)A copy of an online excerpt from the Commercial Register of the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, for the Company, dated as of May 17, 2023 (the Excerpt).
No documents, other than the Documents, have been reviewed by us in connection with this opinion. Accordingly, we shall limit our opinion to the Documents and their legal implications under Swiss law.
In this opinion, Swiss legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original language. These concepts may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist under the laws of other jurisdictions.
II.Assumptions
In rendering the opinion below, we have assumed the following:

(b)all factual information contained in, or material statements given in connection with, the Documents are true and accurate;

2.The Company's share capital registered in the Commercial Register of the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, amounts to CHF 43,276,655, divided into 173,106,620 Shares. Such Shares have been validly issued, fully paid and are non-assessable.
3.The Shares that may be issued from the Conditional Share Capital, if and when such Shares are issued pursuant to the Plan and the agreements accompanying the Plan, and after the

IV.Qualifications
The above opinions are subject to the following qualifications:

(b)We note that, under Swiss law, shares issued out of Conditional Share Capital cannot be paid-in by way of contribution in kind.
