5. Restructuring and Other Charges, Net

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we analyzed the potential long-term impact of the global financial and health crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") on our business and, as a result, committed to a plan to reorganize our business (the “Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program”). The Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, consisting of voluntary and involuntary reductions-in-force and certain site closures, was commenced in order to align our cost structure to the demand levels that we anticipate over the coming quarters. The majority of the actions under the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program are expected to be completed on or before June 30, 2021.

The reductions-in-force, which are subject to the laws and regulations of the countries in which the actions are planned, are expected to impact approximately 980 positions. Over the life of the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, we expect to incur restructuring charges of between $35.0 million and $39.0 million related to reductions-in-force and between $8.0 million and $10.0 million related to site closures. We expect to settle these charges with cash on hand.

We expect these restructuring charges to impact our business segments and corporate functions as follows:

		Reductions-in-Force				Site Closures
(Dollars in millions)	Positions	Minimum		Maximum		Minimum		Maximum
Performance Sensing	214	$	12.6	$	14.0	$	3.0	$	4.0

⁽¹⁾  Severance costs, net (excluding those related to the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were related to termination benefits arising from the shutdown and relocation of an operating site in Northern Ireland. Severance costs, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily related to benefits provided for under a voluntary retirement incentive program offered to a limited number of eligible employees in the U.S.

⁽²⁾  Other charges in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily related to a $12.1 million pre-judgment interest-related award granted by the court on behalf of the plaintiffs, Wasica Finance GmbH ("Wasica"), in connection with a patent infringement case against Schrader. Refer to Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies," for additional information related to this matter. Other charges in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily related to deferred compensation incurred in connection with the acquisition of GIGAVAC, LLC ("GIGAVAC").

The following table presents a rollforward of the severance portion of our restructuring liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

7. Income Taxes

The following table presents the provision for/(benefit from) income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
	June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019		June 30, 2020			June 30, 2019
Provision for/(benefit from) income taxes	$	1,441	$	30,841	$	(75	)	$	52,308

The decrease in total tax from the prior periods was predominantly related to the overall decrease in income before tax as impacted by the mix of profits in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.

In response to the global financial and health crisis caused by COVID-19, the U.S. federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") on March 27, 2020. Federal limitations on interest deductions were reduced in connection with this legislation, and we recorded a deferred tax benefit of $7.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, as we were able to utilize additional interest expense that was previously subject to a valuation allowance.

The provision for/(benefit from) income taxes consists of:

• current tax expense, which relates primarily to our profitable operations in non-U.S. tax jurisdictions and withholding taxes related to management fees, royalties, and the repatriation of foreign earnings; and

• deferred tax expense (or benefit), which represents adjustments in book-to-tax basis differences primarily related to (1) the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets acquired in connection with business combination transactions, (2) changes in net operating loss carryforwards, (3) changes in tax rates, and (4) changes in our assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets.

8. Net (Loss)/Income per Share

Basic and diluted net (loss)/income per share are calculated by dividing net (loss)/income by the number of basic and diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 the weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted net (loss)/income per share were as follows:

	For the three months ended		For the six months ended
	June 30, 2020	June 30, 2019	June 30, 2020	June 30, 2019
Basic weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding	157,186	161,618	157,392	162,433
Dilutive effect of stock options (1)	—	568	—	601
Dilutive effect of unvested restricted securities (1)	—	292	—	466
Diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding	157,186	162,478	157,392	163,500

___________________________________

⁽¹⁾  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, potential ordinary shares of approximately 66 thousand and 200 thousand, respectively, related to stock options and approximately 353 thousand and 403 thousand, respectively, related to unvested restricted securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding as a result of the net loss incurred in those periods.

11

Net (loss)/income and net (loss)/income per share are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Certain potential ordinary shares were excluded from our calculation of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding because either they would have had an anti–dilutive effect on net (loss)/income per share or they related to equity awards that were contingently issuable for which the contingency had not been satisfied. These potential ordinary shares were as follows:

	For the three months ended		For the six months ended
	June 30, 2020	June 30, 2019	June 30, 2020	June 30, 2019

To enhance our financial flexibility given the general uncertainty associated with COVID-19, we withdrew $400.0 million of our $420.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") on April 1, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we had $16.1 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $3.9 million of obligations related to outstanding letters of credit issued thereunder. Outstanding letters of credit are issued primarily for the benefit of certain operating activities. As of June 30, 2020, no amounts had been drawn against these outstanding letters of credit.

Accrued Interest

Accrued interest associated with our outstanding debt is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accrued interest totaled $43.4 million and $42.8 million, respectively.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

We are a defendant in a lawsuit, Wasica Finance Gmbh et al v. Schrader International Inc. et al, Case No. 13-1353-CPS, U.S.D.C., Delaware, in which the claimant alleges infringement of their patent (US 5,602,524) in connection with certain of our tire pressure monitoring system products. The patent in question has expired, and as a result, the claimant seeks damages for past alleged infringement with interest and costs. The asserted patent is the U.S. counterpart of a German patent that had been previously asserted against Schrader. Schrader succeeded in proving that German patent to be invalid. On February 14, 2020, the federal jury trial related to this lawsuit concluded, and the jury found Schrader International Inc. liable for damages in the amount of $31.2 million. We recorded a loss of $29.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 in cost of revenue. On July 6, 2020, the court awarded an additional $12.1 million for plaintiffs and against us for pre-judgment interest-related damages. In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a loss of $12.1 million through restructuring and other charges, net, to reflect the court's order. We continue to deny any wrongdoing in this matter and intend to appeal this ruling along with the court's pre-judgment interest award. As of June 30, 2020, we have recorded an accrual of $43.3 million related to this matter in other long-term liabilities, based on timing of expected payment if our appeal is unsuccessful.

13. Shareholders' Equity

Treasury Shares

From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized various share repurchase programs, which may be modified or terminated by our Board at any time. We currently have an authorized $500.0 million share repurchase program under which approximately $302.3 million remained available as of June 30, 2020. On April 2, 2020, we announced a temporary suspension of this share repurchase program, which will continue to remain on hold until end market conditions show greater improvement and stability.

⁽¹⁾    Excluding any related debt discounts and deferred financing costs.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value because of their short-term nature.

In addition to the above, we hold certain equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values for which we use the measurement alternative prescribed in FASB ASC Topic 321, Investments - Equity Securities. Such investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. There were no impairments or changes resulting from observable transactions for any of these investments, and no adjustments were made to their carrying values.

Refer to the table below for a detail of the carrying values of these investments, each of which were included as a component of other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

We have agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if we default on our indebtedness and repayment of the indebtedness has been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2020, the termination value of outstanding derivatives in a liability position, excluding any adjustment for non-performance risk, was $18.5 million. As of June 30, 2020, we had not posted any cash collateral related to these agreements. If we breach any of the default provisions on any of our indebtedness as described above, we could be required to settle our obligations under the derivative agreements at their termination values.

16. Segment Reporting

In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we altered the way we measure segment operating income in order to align with a change to the performance measures provided to and used by our chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources to each segment. Whereas research and development ("R&D") and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses related to our megatrend initiatives were historically allocated to our operating segments, beginning in the second quarter these amounts are presented within corporate and other. Prior period information has been recast to reflect this revised presentation.

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following two reportable segments, Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions, each of which is also an operating segment. Our operating segments are businesses that we manage as components of an enterprise, for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

An operating segment’s performance is primarily evaluated based on segment operating income, which excludes amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, net, certain costs associated with our strategic megatrend initiatives, and certain corporate costs/credits not associated with the operations of the segment, including share-based compensation expense and a portion of depreciation expense associated with assets recorded in connection with acquisitions. Corporate and other costs excluded from an operating segment’s performance are separately stated below and also include costs that are related to functional areas, such as finance, information technology, legal, and human resources. We believe that segment operating income, as defined above, is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our segments. However, this measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies of each of our reporting segments are materially consistent with those in the summary of significant accounting policies as described in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including any documents incorporated by reference herein, includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These forward-looking statements also relate to our future prospects, developments, and business strategies and may be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "could," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "project," "forecast," "continue," "intend," "plan," and similar terms or phrases, or the negative of such terminology, including references to assumptions. However, these terms are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

Forward-looking statements contained herein, or in other statements made by us, are made based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting us. These statements are subject to uncertainties and other important factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict, and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in, or suggested by, such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by these forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them do, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition.

We believe that the following important factors, among others (including those set forth here and described in Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019), could affect our future performance and the liquidity and value of our securities and cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf:

• Future risks and existing uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to have a significant adverse impact on our business and operations including: (i) full or partial shutdowns of our facilities as mandated by government decrees, (ii) limited ability to adjust certain costs due to government actions, (iii) significant travel restrictions and “work-from-home” orders limiting the availability of our workforce, (iv) supplier constraints and supply-chain interruptions, (v) logistics challenges and limitations, (vi) reduced demand from certain customers, (vi) uncertainties associated with a protracted economic slowdown that could negatively affect the financial condition of our customers and suppliers, and (vii) uncertainties and volatility in the global capital markets;

• business disruptions due to natural disasters or other disasters outside our control, such as the global COVID-19 pandemic.

• instability and changes in the global markets, including regulatory, political, economic, governmental, and military matters, such as the recent exit of the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") from the European Union (the "EU");

• adverse conditions or competition in the industries upon which we are dependent, including the automotive industry;

• security breaches, cyber theft of our intellectual property, and other disruptions to our information technology infrastructure, or improper disclosure of confidential, personal, or proprietary data;

• foreign currency risks, changes in socio-economic conditions, or changes to monetary and fiscal policies;

• our level of indebtedness, or our inability to meet debt service obligations or comply with the covenants contained in the credit agreement and senior notes indentures;

• changes to current policies, such as trade tariffs, by the U.S. government;

• risks related to the potential for goodwill impairment;

• the impact of challenges by taxing authorities of our historical and future tax positions or our allocation of taxable income among our subsidiaries, and challenges to the sovereign taxation regimes of EU member states by the European Commission and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development;

• changes to, or inability to comply with, various regulations, including tax laws, import/export regulations, anti-bribery laws, environmental, health, and safety laws, and other governmental regulations; and

• risks related to our domicile in the U.K.

20

In addition, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact our business and financial results going forward will be dependent on future developments, such as the length and severity of the crisis, the potential resurgence of the crisis, future government actions in response to the crisis and the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and capital markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. We urge readers to review carefully the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in the other documents that we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 11, 2020, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread disruptions to our Company, employees, customers, suppliers, and communities. We recognized the global impact of COVID-19 early, and took a wide range of actions across our organization designed to benefit the health and safety of employees, while also enabling us to respond to customer needs and enhance our financial flexibility during the pandemic. We are continuing to work with local, state, and federal governmental health agencies in many countries, implementing measures to help protect employees and minimize the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. Reduced demand, in addition to elevated logistics costs, government mandates, and actions to safeguard our employees, contributed to lower margins. Savings related to our previously announced cost reduction activities in the second quarter were approximately $21.8 million, resulting from temporary salary reductions, furloughs, and government subsidies.

Given the economic response to the spread of COVID-19 worldwide, the end markets that we serve were down substantially (approximately 39.9%) in the second quarter. However, most of our businesses performed better than their respective end markets, and our net revenue contracted 33.9% organically in the second quarter. Additionally, revenue improved sequentially each month of the second quarter. On this basis, we expect sequential improvements in the third and fourth quarters, unless COVID-19 causes further economic slowdown from our expectations, which could result in customers further reducing or shutting down their production.

We are also continuing to win new business and invest in opportunities that will drive long-term growth for Sensata. In the first half of 2020, we closed new business wins at a pace faster than the average new business wins over the past five years, including $100 million in electrification wins during the first half of 2020. We believe these wins demonstrate the mission-critical nature of our products and designs, as customers have been eager to continue business awards even in the midst of shutdowns related to COVID-19.

In addition, we continue to believe that our investments in megatrend initiatives will further our end market diversification, increase our long-term growth rate, and provide important competitive advantages as these trends transform our world. Despite the impact of COVID-19, we see no evidence that customers are meaningfully slowing their investments in these areas. We are making progress on both Smart & Connected and Electrification initiatives. In the Industrial space, we are increasing our focus on high-growth areas such as the Industrial Internet of Things, Smart Manufacturing, Smart Buildings, and Infrastructure. Bringing our sensing solutions to enhance material handling and electrification charging infrastructure represent fast growing opportunities that we believe will drive industrial business content and market outgrowth.

We believe that we are in a strong financial position today, having generated $170.3 million of operating cash flow in the six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, we have taken multiple steps to enhance our financial flexibility. We lowered our operating expenses for the second quarter through management salary reductions and employee furloughs, implemented reductions in discretionary spending, and ramped down production in certain facilities in line with end market demand. We are reducing capital expenditures for the year and carefully managing our working capital.

Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program

In the second quarter of 2020, we commenced the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, which consists of actions such as voluntary and involuntary reductions-in-force and certain site closures in order to align our cost structure to the demand levels that we anticipate in the coming quarters. This program is expected to impact approximately 980 positions.

The majority of the actions under the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program are expected to be completed on or before June 30, 2021. Over the life of the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, we expect to incur restructuring charges of between $35.0 million and $39.0 million related to reductions-in-force and between $8.0 million and $10.0 million related to site closures. We expect to settle these charges with cash on hand.

In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we accrued $24.1 million of severance charges related to this program. Refer to the discussion on restructuring and other related charges in Results of Operations below for further information. As of June 30, 2020, our severance liability related to the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program was $21.5 million. Refer to Note 5, "Restructuring and Other Charges, Net," of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

22

We expect that the actions taken in the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program will result in annualized savings of personnel- and facilities-related costs of approximately $49 million by 2021. We expect savings in the third quarter of 2020 to be approximately $7 million.

Results of Operations

The table below presents our historical results of operations, in millions of dollars and as a percentage of net revenue, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. We have derived the results of operations from the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net revenue

Overall, volumes were lower than prior periods, both sequentially and year over year, due to severe end market decline caused by COVID-19. However, our end market environment is expected to improve sequentially overall through the balance of 2020. Refer to detailed discussion of revenue by segment below.

The following table presents a reconciliation of organic revenue decline, a non-GAAP financial measure, to reported net revenue decline, a financial measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Refer to the section entitled Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for further information on our use of organic revenue growth or decline.

__________________________

⁽¹⁾  Represents the percentage change in net revenue between the comparative periods attributed to differences in exchange rates used to remeasure foreign currency denominated revenue transactions into USD, which is the functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries. The percentage amounts presented above related primarily to the USD to CNY and the EUR to USD exchange rates.

Performance Sensing

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, Performance Sensing net revenue declined 40.2%, or 39.3% on an organic basis.

23

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, automotive net revenue declined 42.5% compared to the prior year. Excluding a decline of 0.9% attributed to foreign currency exchange rate differences between the two periods, automotive net revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2020 declined 41.6% on an organic basis, representing outgrowth of 890 bps compared to a market that was down 50.5%. We refer to better performance by our business compared to the markets that the business serves, which relates to content growth partially offset by pricing, as "outgrowth." Our automotive market outgrowth was led primarily by new sensor launches in mission-critical emissions, electrification, and safety applications, as well as favorable pricing.

The difference between the performance of our automotive business and that of the end markets we serve was due primarily to two factors. First, we were able to alleviate the impact of end market declines by delivering market outgrowth, driven by increased content in all regions, but particularly in China where we experienced strong content growth following the adoption of NS6 emissions regulations. During the first quarter, we attributed a portion of automotive revenue growth to inventory build, particularly in China. In most regions in which we operate, inventory movements overall were negligible in the second quarter of 2020. We expect inventories at our customers to return to normalized levels by the end of the year.

We expect that the automotive markets in North America and Europe will grow sequentially in the third and fourth quarters of 2020. The China automotive end market was up 4.3% in the second quarter compared to the prior year, rebounding from first quarter declines resulting from COVID-19, as customer facilities re-opened and production ramped back up in this region, as expected. We expect production in other regions to ramp up at a slower pace. In the North American automotive markets, improving production levels sequentially from the second quarter are expected as original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") and Tier 1 sales to their customers improve. In Europe, consumer and business confidence are showing improvements as vehicle registrations and OEM factory production levels improve from low levels in the second quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, HVOR net revenue declined 32.5% compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Excluding a decline of 1.0% attributed to foreign exchange rate differences between the two periods, HVOR net revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2020 declined 31.5% on an organic basis, representing outgrowth of 750 bps compared to a market that was down 39.0%.

The difference between the performance of our HVOR business and the performance of the end markets it serves is the result of market outgrowth, due primarily to increased content. Similar to our automotive business, a significant portion of this content came from China, where the on-road truck business has continued to post better-than-expected growth following the adoption of NS6 emissions regulations. While our HVOR business in China grew in the second quarter, we experienced substantial declines in both Europe and the Americas. We evaluate key economic indicators to gauge the health of our HVOR customers and the markets they serve, including freight load factors, truck inventory to sales ratios, building permits, industrial production, crop futures, and farm machinery. Based on these indicators, we expect HVOR end markets to improve sequentially in the third and fourth quarters of 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Performance Sensing net revenue declined 25.7%, or 24.9% on an organic basis.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, automotive net revenue declined 26.9% compared to the prior year. Excluding a decline of 0.8% attributed to foreign exchange rate differences between the two periods, automotive net revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2020 declined 26.1% on an organic basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our automotive business reported content growth in all of our major regions, particularly Asia, of which most related to China.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, HVOR net revenue declined 21.9% compared to the prior year. Excluding a decline of 0.9% attributed to foreign exchange rate differences between the two periods, HVOR net revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2020, declined 21.0% on an organic basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our HVOR business reported content growth in most markets, most notably in the China on-road truck market, but also globally in agriculture and construction markets.

Sensing Solutions

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, Sensing Solutions net revenue decreased 20.0%, or 19.3% on an organic basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Sensing Solutions net revenue decreased 15.5%, or 14.9% on an organic basis.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, industrial and other net revenue decreased 15.5% compared to the prior year. Excluding a decline of 0.9% attributed to foreign exchange rate differences between the two periods, industrial and other net revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 14.6% on an organic basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, industrial and other net revenue decreased 14.2% compared to the prior year. Excluding a decline of 0.7% attributed to foreign exchange rate differences between the two periods, industrial and other net revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2020 declined 13.5% on an organic basis.

24

The decline in industrial and other net revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2020 was primarily driven by shutdowns related to COVID-19 and the resulting global industrial market slowdown. In the second quarter, industrial markets fared better than other markets in which we operate, as Purchasing Managers' Index data in all areas of the world improved during the quarter. For the balance of the year, we expect the industrial markets to continue to decline, but less significantly than in the second quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, aerospace net revenue declined 39.4% compared to the prior year on a reported and organic basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, aerospace net revenue declined 21.1% compared to the prior year on a reported and organic basis.

Reduced commercial OEM production in the second quarter led to a 32.0% decline in the aerospace market, and grounding of aircraft led to weakness in our aerospace aftermarket business. Expectations for future OEM commercial and defense production build rates and passenger miles flown are good indicators of future demand for our aerospace products and aftermarket services. Accordingly, as air traffic resumes, we expect the aerospace aftermarket to return to growth. The defense portion of the aerospace production market is expected to remain steady this year, while commercial production is expected to improve from very low levels in the second quarter.

Operating costs and expenses

Operating costs and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are presented, in millions of dollars and as a percentage of net revenue, in the following table. Amounts and percentages in the table below have been calculated based on unrounded numbers. Accordingly, certain amounts may not appear to recalculate due to the effect of rounding.

*     Represents the amount presented divided by total net revenue.

Cost of revenue

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue increased from the prior period, primarily as a result of productivity headwinds from our manufacturing facilities running at significantly lower than normal capacity and elevated logistics costs, partially offset by savings from temporary cost reductions in the second quarter, including salary reductions and furloughs, repositioning actions taken in 2019, and the positive impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue increased from the prior period, primarily as a result of a $29.2 million loss related to a judgment against us in intellectual property litigation with Wasica in the first quarter of 2020, productivity headwinds from our manufacturing facilities running at significantly lower than normal capacity and elevated logistics costs, partially offset by savings from temporary cost reductions in the second quarter, including salary reductions and furloughs, repositioning actions taken in 2019, and the positive impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We continue to deny any wrongdoing in the intellectual property litigation with Wasica, and intend to appeal the judgment. Refer to Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies," of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

In the second quarter of 2020, we commenced the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, which includes reductions-in-force and certain site closures. Costs related to this program have been recognized in restructuring and other charges, net line on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We expect that the actions taken in the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program will result in annualized savings of personnel- and facilities-related costs of approximately $49 million by 2021. We expect savings in the third quarter of 2020 to be approximately $7 million.

25

Research and development ("R&D") expense

For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, R&D expense decreased from the prior comparable periods. R&D expense declined compared to the prior year periods, primarily as a result of temporary salary and furlough cost savings in the second quarter and savings from repositioning actions taken in 2019, as well as the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates, somewhat offset by increased investments in our megatrend initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, SG&A expense decreased from the prior year, primarily as a result of temporary salary reductions, lower incentive compensation, furloughs, and savings from repositioning actions taken in 2019, as well as the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, SG&A expense decreased from the prior period, primarily due to temporary salary reductions and furloughs, savings from repositioning actions taken in 2019, and the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher compensation to retain and incentivize critical employee talent and increased costs related to enhancements and improvements to our global operating processes to increase productivity.

Amortization of intangible assets

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, amortization expense decreased from the corresponding prior periods primarily due to the effect of the economic benefit method.

Restructuring and other charges, net

On June 30, 2020, we analyzed the potential long-term impact of COVID-19 on our business and, as a result, committed to the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, which consists of voluntary and involuntary reductions-in-force and certain site closures. It was commenced in order to align our cost structure to the demand levels that we anticipate over the coming quarters. The majority of the actions under the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program are expected to be completed on or before June 30, 2021.

The reductions-in-force, which are subject to the laws and regulations of the countries in which the actions are planned, are expected to impact approximately 980 positions. Over the life of the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, we expect to incur restructuring charges of between $35.0 million and $39.0 million related to reductions-in-force and between $8.0 million and $10.0 million related to site closures. We expect to settle these charges with cash on hand.

Restructuring and other charges, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following (amounts in the table below have been calculated based on unrounded numbers; accordingly, certain amounts may not appear to recalculate due to the effect of rounding):

⁽²⁾  Severance costs, net (excluding those related to the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were related to termination benefits arising from the shutdown and relocation of an operating site in Northern Ireland. Severance costs, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily related to benefits provided for under a voluntary retirement incentive program offered to a limited number of eligible employees in the U.S.

⁽³⁾  Other charges in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily related to a $12.1 million pre-judgment interest-related award granted by the court on behalf of the plaintiffs, Wasica, in connection with a patent infringement case against Schrader. Refer to Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies," of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information related to this matter. Other charges in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily related to deferred compensation incurred in connection with the acquisition of GIGAVAC.

Operating (loss)/income

In the three months ended June 30, 2020, operating (loss)/income decreased $149.3 million, or 101.3%, to a loss of $1.9 million (0.3% of net revenue) compared to income of $147.4 million (16.7% of net revenue) in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to lower revenues, productivity headwinds from our manufacturing facilities running at significantly lower than normal capacity, a charge of $24.1 million recognized in the second quarter related to the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, $12.1 million of pre-judgment interest-related damages assessed against us related to the Wasica judgment, and elevated operating costs, partially offset by the non-recurrence of charges recognized in the second quarter of 2019 related to benefits provided under a voluntary retirement incentive program and the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we realized savings of approximately $21.8 million in the second quarter resulting from temporary salary reductions, furloughs, and government subsidies.

In the six months ended June 30, 2020, operating income decreased $233.3 million, or 80.4%, to $56.7 million (4.2% of net revenue) compared to $290.0 million (16.5% of net revenue) in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to lower revenues, productivity headwinds from our manufacturing facilities running at significantly lower than normal capacity, a $29.2 million loss related to a judgment against us in the intellectual property litigation with Wasica in the first quarter of 2020, a charge of $24.1 million recognized in the second quarter related to the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, $12.1 million of pre-judgment interest-related damages assessed against us related to the Wasica judgment, and elevated operating costs, partially offset by the non-recurrence of charges recognized in the second quarter of 2019 related to benefits provided under a voluntary retirement incentive program and the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we realized savings of approximately $21.8 million in the second quarter resulting from temporary salary reductions, furloughs, and government subsidies.

We expect that the actions taken in the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program will result in annualized savings of personnel- and facilities-related costs of approximately $49 million by 2021. We expect savings in the third quarter of 2020 to be approximately $7 million.

Provision for/(benefit from) income taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the decrease in total tax from the prior periods was predominantly related to the overall decrease in income before tax as impacted by the mix of profits in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.

In response to the global financial and health crisis caused by COVID-19, the U.S. federal government enacted the CARES Act on March 27, 2020. Federal limitations on interest deductions were reduced in connection with this legislation, and we recorded a deferred tax benefit of $7.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, as we were able to utilize additional interest expense that was previously subject to a valuation allowance.

The provision for/(benefit from) income taxes consists of:

• current tax expense, which relates primarily to our profitable operations in non-U.S. tax jurisdictions and withholding taxes related to management fees, royalties, and the repatriation of foreign earnings; and

• deferred tax expense (or benefit), which represents adjustments in book-to-tax basis differences primarily related to (1) the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets acquired in connection with business combination transactions, (2) changes in net operating loss carryforwards, (3) changes in tax rates, and (4) changes in our assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes references to organic revenue growth (or decline), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Organic revenue growth (or decline) is defined as the reported percentage change in net revenue, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the period-over-period impact of foreign exchange rate differences as well as the net impact of material acquisitions and divestitures for the 12-month period following the respective transaction date(s). Refer to the Net revenue section above for a reconciliation of organic revenue decline to reported revenue decline.

We believe that organic revenue growth (or decline) provides investors with helpful information with respect to our operating performance, and we use organic revenue growth (or decline) to evaluate our ongoing operations, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that organic revenue growth (or decline) provides useful information in evaluating the results of our business because it excludes items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior-year period.

Organic revenue growth (or decline) should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported percentage change in net revenue calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our measure of organic revenue growth (or decline) may not be the same as, or comparable to, similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we held cash and cash equivalents in the following regions (amounts have been calculated based on unrounded numbers; accordingly, certain amounts may not appear to recalculate due to the effect of rounding):

(In millions)	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
United Kingdom	$	16.2	$	8.8
United States	7.0		7.0
The Netherlands	952.6		522.9
China	138.5		119.3
Other	128.6		116.1
Total	$	1,242.9	$	774.1

The amount of cash and cash equivalents held in these geographic regions fluctuates throughout the year due to a variety of factors, such as our use of intercompany loans and dividends and the timing of cash receipts and disbursements in the normal course of business. Our earnings are not considered to be permanently reinvested in certain jurisdictions in which they were earned. We recognize a deferred tax liability on these unremitted earnings to the extent the remittance of such earnings cannot be recovered in a tax-free manner.

28

Cash Flows:

The table below summarizes our primary sources and uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. We have derived the summarized statements of cash flows from the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Amounts in the table below have been calculated based on unrounded numbers. Accordingly, certain amounts may not appear to recalculate due to the effect of rounding.

	For the six months ended
(In millions)	June 30, 2020			June 30, 2019
Net cash provided by/(used in):
Operating activities:
Net (loss)/income adjusted for non-cash items	$	160.7		$	331.9
Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net	9.6			(79.8		)
Operating activities	170.3			252.2
Investing activities	(60.5		)	(82.9		)
Financing activities	359.1			(178.0		)
Net change	$	468.8		$	(8.8	)

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities declined from the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to lower operating profitability, partially offset by improved management of working capital. Savings related to our cost-reduction activities in the second quarter were approximately $21.8 million, resulting from temporary salary reductions and furloughs. These savings are included in operating profitability.

Over the life of the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, we expect to incur restructuring charges of between $35.0 million and $39.0 million related to reductions-in-force and between $8.0 million and $10.0 million related to site closures. We expect to settle these charges with cash on hand.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities declined from the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to a reduction in capital expenditures as a result of COVID-19. In fiscal year 2020, we anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $120.0 million to $130.0 million, which we expect to be funded from cash on hand.

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included $400.0 million of cash proceeds from the drawdown on the Revolving Credit Facility on April 1, 2020. In addition, on April 2, 2020, we announced a temporary suspension of our share repurchase program. As a result, payments to repurchase ordinary shares decreased from $168.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The share repurchase program will continue to remain on hold until end market conditions show greater improvement and stability.

Indebtedness and Liquidity:

As of June 30, 2020, we had $3,689.1 million in gross indebtedness, which included finance lease and other financing obligations and excluded debt discounts and deferred financing costs. Refer to Note 11, "Debt," of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the components of our debt.

Capital Resources

The credit agreement governing our secured credit facility (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") provides for senior secured credit facilities (the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities") consisting of a term loan facility (the "Term Loan"), the Revolving Credit Facility, and incremental availability (the "Accordion") under which additional secured credit facilities could be issued under certain circumstances.

Our sources of liquidity include cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. In order to enhance our financial flexibility given the general uncertainty associated with COVID-19, we withdrew $400.0 million from the Revolving Credit Facility on April 1, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we had $16.1 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $3.9 million of obligations related to outstanding letters of credit issued thereunder. Outstanding letters of credit are issued primarily for the benefit of certain operating activities. As of June 30, 2020, no amounts had been drawn against these outstanding letters of credit.

29

Availability under the Accordion varies each period based on our attainment of certain financial metrics as set forth in the terms of the Credit Agreement and the indentures under which our senior notes were issued (the "Senior Notes Indentures"). As of June 30, 2020, availability under the Accordion was approximately $0.7 billion.

We believe, based on our current level of operations and taking into consideration the restrictions and covenants included in the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes Indentures, that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operations, capital expenditures, ordinary share repurchases (if and when resumed), and debt service for at least the next twelve months. However, we cannot make assurances that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. Further, our highly-leveraged nature may limit our ability to procure additional financing in the future. On April 2, 2020, we announced a temporary suspension of our share repurchase program, which will continue to remain on hold until end market conditions show greater improvement and stability.

The Credit Agreement provides that, if our senior secured net leverage ratio exceeds a specified level, we are required to use a portion of our excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, generated by operating, investing, or financing activities to prepay some or all of the outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Credit Agreement also requires mandatory prepayments of the outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities upon certain asset dispositions and casualty events, in each case subject to certain reinvestment rights, and upon the incurrence of certain indebtedness (excluding any permitted indebtedness). These provisions were not triggered during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes Indentures contain restrictions and covenants that limit the ability of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sensata Technologies B.V. ("STBV"), and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur subsequent indebtedness, sell assets, pay dividends, and make other restricted payments. For a full discussion of these restrictions and covenants, refer to Part II, Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Capital Resources," included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

These restrictions and covenants, which are subject to important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes Indentures, were taken into consideration when we established our share repurchase programs, and will be evaluated periodically with respect to future potential funding of those programs. As of June 30, 2020, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants and default provisions under our credit arrangements.

Our ability to raise additional financing, and our borrowing costs, may be impacted by short- and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, which are based, in significant part, on our performance as measured by certain credit metrics such as interest coverage and leverage ratios. As of July 24, 2020, Moody’s Investors Service’s corporate credit rating for STBV was Ba2 with a stable outlook and Standard & Poor’s corporate credit rating for STBV was BB+ with a negative outlook. The Standard & Poor's outlook represents a decline from their outlook of "stable" as of December 31, 2019. The change in outlook reflects the uncertainties in the markets caused by COVID-19.

From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized various share repurchase programs, which may be modified or terminated by our Board at any time. We currently have an authorized $500.0 million share repurchase program under which approximately $302.3 million remained available as of June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased approximately 0.9 million ordinary shares under our share repurchase program for a total purchase price of approximately $35.2 million, which are now held as treasury shares. On April 2, 2020, we announced a temporary suspension of this share repurchase program, which will continue to remain on hold until end market conditions show greater improvement and stability.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently issued accounting standards that have been adopted in the current period or will be adopted in future periods that have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a discussion of the critical accounting policies that require the use of significant judgments and estimates by management, refer to Part II, Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

No significant changes to our market risk have occurred since December 31, 2019. For a discussion of market risks affecting us, refer to Part II, Item 7A—"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The required certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are included as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The disclosures set forth in this Item 4 contain information concerning the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and changes in internal control over financial reporting referred to in these certifications. These certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 4 for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal controls over financial reporting are subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may be inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are regularly involved in a number of claims and litigation matters in the ordinary course of business. Most of our litigation matters are third-party claims related to patent infringement allegations or for property damage allegedly caused by our products, but some involve allegations of personal injury or wrongful death. From time to time, we are also involved in disagreements with vendors and customers. Information on certain legal proceedings in which we are involved is included in Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies" of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters, based upon our experience and current information known to us, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Information regarding risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A—"Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The information presented below updates and should be read in connection with the risk factors and information previously disclosed therein.

We are subject to various risks related to public health crises, including the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which could have material and adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Any outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments in countries where we operate could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread disruptions to our Company in the first half of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, these disruptions were primarily limited to our manufacturing operations in China, portions of which were closed during the end of January and first half of February due to government mandates. As the virus spread to the rest of the world beginning in March, most of our other operations outside of China also were impacted. These impacts have continued to varying degrees throughout the second quarter, as regions have had varying levels of success mitigating the impacts of the virus, resulting in varying degrees of reopening. As of June 30, 2020, we were still experiencing significant disruptions, which include, depending on the specific location, full or partial shutdowns of our facilities as mandated by government decree, government actions limiting our ability to adjust certain costs, significant travel restrictions, “work-from-home” orders, limited availability of our workforce, supplier constraints, supply-chain interruptions, logistics challenges and limitations, and reduced demand from certain customers.

In addition, in these challenging and dynamic circumstances, we are working to protect our employees, maintain business continuity and sustain our operations, including ensuring the safety and protection of our people who work in our plants and distribution centers across the world, many of whom support the manufacturing and delivery of products deemed part of the critical infrastructure or essential businesses by the applicable local or country governments. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact our business and financial results going forward will be dependent on future developments such as the length and severity of the crisis, the potential resurgence of the crisis, future government actions in response to the crisis and the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and capital markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic increases the likelihood and potential severity of other risks previously discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

• A protracted economic downturn could negatively affect the financial condition of the industries and customers we serve, which may result in an increase in bankruptcies or insolvencies, a delay in payments, and decreased sales.

• A scarcity of resources or other hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may result in increased nationalism, protectionism and political tensions which may cause governments and/or other entities to take actions that may have a significant negative impact on the ability of the Company, its suppliers and its customers to conduct business.

• The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may cause us to restructure our business or divest some of our businesses or product lines in the future, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

• To mitigate the spread of COVID-19, we have transitioned a significant subset of our employee population to a remote work environment, which may exacerbate various cybersecurity risks to our business, including an increased demand for information technology resources, an increased risk of phishing and other cybersecurity attacks, and an increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information.

• The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the supply of raw materials, and we may experience increased difficulties in obtaining a consistent supply of materials at stable pricing levels.

• If the financial performance of our businesses were to decline significantly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we could incur a material non-cash charge to our income statement for the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.

• The continued global spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which may increase the cost of, and adversely impacted access to, capital. In addition, as a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, we may have even less flexibility with respect to certain aspects of capital management.

• If the financial performance of our businesses were to decline significantly for an extended period of time as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may face challenges to comply with the covenants contained in our credit arrangements.

32

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, given the speed with which the COVID-19 pandemic is evolving and the uncertainty of its duration and impact, we are not able to predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity and financial results, and there can be no assurance that the COVID-19 pandemic will not have a material adverse effect on our financial results during any quarter or year in which we are affected.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT                

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is hereby executed by and between Sensata Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Shannon Votava (“Executive”), to be effective as of May 26, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to enter into an employment agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, continued employment of Executive by the Company and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are expressly hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Employment. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to continue employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending as provided in Section 4 hereof (the “Employment Period”). Subject to applicable law, the parties agree that for purposes of calculating years of service under any benefit plans or programs, Executive’s employment with the Company commenced as of May 26, 2020, unless expressly provided otherwise under the terms of any employee benefit plans or programs.

2.Position and Duties.

(a)During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer of the Company and shall have the duties, responsibilities, functions and authority that are normally associated with the position of Senior Vice President. Executive’s duties shall be subject to the power and authority of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Company Board”) and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sensata Technologies Holding plc, a public limited company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“Parent”), to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority and to overrule actions of officers of the Company. During the Employment Period, Executive shall render to Parent and its Subsidiaries (as defined herein) administrative, financial and other executive and managerial services that are consistent with Executive’s position as the Board may from time to time direct.

(b)Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer & President, or to such other person or persons as may be designated from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board. Executive shall devote her full business time and attention (except for vacation periods consistent with past practice and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries. In performing her duties and exercising her authority under this Agreement, Executive shall support and implement the business and strategic plans approved from time to time by the Board. As long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board, perform other services for compensation. Unless otherwise agreed by Executive, Executive’s place of work shall be in the greater Attleboro, Massachusetts metropolitan area, except for travel reasonably required for Company business.

1

(c)For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiaries” shall mean any corporation or other entity of which the securities or other ownership interests having the voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other governing body are, at the time of determination, owned by Parent, directly or through one or more Subsidiaries.

(d)For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” shall mean with respect to Parent and its Subsidiaries, any other Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and, in the case of a Person that is a partnership, any partner of the Person.

(e)For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” shall mean an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a joint stock company, a trust, a joint venture, an unincorporated organization and a governmental entity or any department, agency or political subdivision thereof.

3.Compensation and Benefits.

(a)During the Employment Period, Executive’s base salary shall be equal to the amount determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board on an annual basis (as adjusted from time to time, the “Base Salary”), which Base Salary shall be payable by the Company in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices (in effect from time to time). In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all of the Company’s employee benefit programs for which senior executive employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries are generally eligible (assuming Executive and/or her family meet the eligibility requirements of those benefit programs) (the “Senior Executive Benefits”).

(b)During the Employment Period, Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable business expenses incurred by her in the course of performing her duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, which business expenses are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses. Reimbursement of the costs and expenses set forth in this Section 3(b) are subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such costs and expenses.

(c)In addition to the Base Salary, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus (“Annual Bonus”) in an amount as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board equal to a certain percentage of the Base Salary then in effect, with such other terms and based upon Executive’s individual performance and/or the achievement by Parent and its Subsidiaries of financial and other objectives, in each case as established for each fiscal year by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board. Executive will become entitled to receive an Annual Bonus, if any, only if Executive continues to be employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries through April 1st of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates and such Annual Bonus, if any, will be paid to Executive by the Company on or before April 15^th of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates. There is no guaranteed

2

Annual Bonus under this Agreement, and for each applicable year, Executive’s Annual Bonus could be as low as zero or as high as the maximum Annual Bonus opportunity established for such year.

(d)The Company shall pay Executive a sign-on bonus in the amount of $250,000 (“Sign-On Bonus”), which shall be paid to Executive within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date.

(e)The Company shall reimburse Executive up to $100,000 for her relocation expenses in accordance with the Company’s relocation benefit program and policies (“Relocation Expenses”).

(f)Executive agrees in the event her employment with the Company terminates either voluntarily (other than for Good Reason) or for Cause during the first two years following the Effective Date, she will reimburse the Company 100% of the Sign-On Bonus and Relocation Expenses within thirty (30) days following Executive’s final day of employment. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for a reason other than for Cause, Executive’s obligations to reimburse the Sign-On Bonus and Relocation Expenses shall lapse.

4.Term.

(a)The Employment Period shall end on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, but shall automatically be renewed on the same terms and conditions set forth herein (as may be modified from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) for additional one-year periods beginning on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and on each successive anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the Company or Executive gives the other party written notice of the election not to renew the Employment Period at least 90 days prior to any such renewal date; provided that, the Employment Period shall terminate immediately upon Executive’s resignation (with or without Good Reason, as defined below), death or Disability (as defined below) or upon the Company’s termination of Executive’s employment (whether with Cause (as defined below) or without Cause).

(b)If the Employment Period is terminated (1) by the Company without Cause (other than as a result of Executive’s Disability) or (2) upon Executive’s resignation with Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to: (i) her Base Salary through the date of termination; (ii) any Annual Bonus amounts to which Executive is entitled for years that ended on or prior to the date of termination in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3(c) (including the requirement that Executive remain employed by the Parent or its Subsidiaries through April 1 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates); (iii) an amount equal to one year of Executive’s then current Base Salary plus an amount equal to the average of the Annual Bonuses paid to Executive for the two completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date of the termination of Executive’s employment; and (iv) running concurrently with (and counting toward) her COBRA period, continued participation throughout the Severance Period (as defined below) in all health and dental benefit plans in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the termination of Executive’s employment (or the Company shall arrange to make available to Executive benefits substantially similar to those which Executive would otherwise have been entitled to receive over such period if Executive’s employment had not been terminated) on the same terms

3

and conditions (including the amount of employee contributions toward premium payments but not guaranteeing any particular tax result to Executive of such continued benefits) under which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to her termination. Any stock options, RSUs or other equity awards granted to Executive shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Management Equity Plans and such awards. The amounts and benefits described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 4(b) will be paid if and only if Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a separation agreement with a general release to be provided by the Company in connection with Executive’s termination, and such release has become effective and no longer subject to revocation not later than sixty (60) days following the date of termination (the “General Release”) and only if Executive does not breach the provisions of Sections 5 through 7 hereof. The amounts payable pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 4(b) shall be payable in regular installments over the twelve (12)-month period following the date of termination (the “Severance Period”) in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices as in effect on the date of termination, but in no event less frequently than monthly; provided that no amounts shall be paid until the first scheduled payment date following the date the General Release is executed and no longer subject to revocation, with the first such payment being in an amount equal to the total amount to which Executive would otherwise have been entitled during the period following the date of termination through such payment date if such deferral had not been required. The amounts and benefits described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(b) shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the applicable date of termination.

(c)If the Employment Period is terminated (1) by the Company with Cause, (2) due to Executive’s death or Disability or (3) by Executive’s resignation without Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) her Base Salary through the date of termination and (ii) any Annual Bonus amounts to which Executive is entitled determined by reference to years that ended on or prior to the date of termination in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3(c) (including the requirement that Executive remain employed by the Parent or its Subsidiaries through April 1 of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates). The amounts and benefits described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(c) shall be paid to Executive or, in the event of death, Executive’s estate or beneficiaries, in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the applicable date of termination.

(d)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Executive shall not be entitled to any other salary, bonuses, employee benefits or compensation from the Company or its Subsidiaries after the termination of the Employment Period and all of Executive’s rights to salary, bonuses, employee benefits and other compensation hereunder which would have accrued or become payable after the termination of the Employment Period (other than vested retirement benefits accrued on or prior to the termination of the Employment Period in accordance with the terms of the applicable retirement plan or other amounts owing hereunder as of the date of such termination that have not yet been paid) shall cease upon such termination, other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA) or as provided under an applicable Management Equity Plan.

(e)Executive is under no obligation to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise, and the Company shall

4

have no right of offset for any amounts received by Executive from other employment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Executive’s coverage under the Company’s health and dental benefit plans will terminate when Executive becomes eligible under any employee benefit plan made available by another employer covering health and dental benefits. Executive shall notify the Company within thirty (30) days after becoming eligible for any such benefits.

(f)Subject to applicable law, the Company may offset any amounts Executive owes Parent and its Subsidiaries against any amounts Parent and its Subsidiaries owe Executive hereunder.

(g)For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean, with respect to Executive, one or more of the following: (1) the indictment for a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude or the commission of any other act or any omission to act involving fraud with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their customers or suppliers; (2) any act or any omission to act involving dishonesty or disloyalty that causes, or in the good faith judgment of the Board would be reasonably likely to cause, material harm (including reputational harm) to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their customers or suppliers; (3) any (i) repeated abuse of alcohol or (ii) abuse of controlled substances, in either case, that adversely affects Executive’s work performance (and, in the case of clause (i), continues to occur at any time more than thirty (30) days after Executive has been given written notice thereof) or brings Parent or its Subsidiaries into public disgrace or disrepute; (4) the failure by Executive to substantially perform duties as reasonably directed by the Board, which non-performance remains uncured for ten (10) days after written notice thereof is given to Executive; (5) willful misconduct with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, which misconducts causes, or in the good faith judgment of the Board would be reasonably likely to cause, material harm (including reputational harm) to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; (6) the failure of Executive to cooperate in any audit or investigation of the business or financial practices of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; or (7) any breach by Executive of Sections 5 through 7 of this Agreement or any other material breach of this Agreement or the Management Equity Plans (as defined below).

(h)Executive will be “Disabled” only if, as a result of her incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive is considered disabled under the Company’s long-term disability insurance plans.

(i)For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean if Executive resigns from employment with the Company and, if applicable, its Subsidiaries prior to the end of the Employment Period as a result of one or more of the following reasons: (1) any reduction in Executive’s Base Salary or Annual Bonus opportunity, without Executive’s prior consent, in either case other than any reduction which (i) is generally applicable to senior leadership team executives of the Company and (ii) does not exceed 15% of Executive’s Base Salary and Annual Bonus opportunity in the aggregate; (2) any material breach by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any agreement between such Persons and Executive; or (3) a change in Executive’s principal office without Executive’s prior consent to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from Executive’s principal office on the date hereof; provided that, in order for Executive’s resignation with Good Reason to be effective hereunder, Executive must provide written notice to the Company of the

5

event constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial occurrence of such event, the Company shall have thirty (30) days after delivery of such written notice to cure such event to Executive’s reasonable satisfaction, and Executive’s resignation with Good Reason must be effective within thirty (30) days following the end of the Company’s cure period.

(j)For purposes of this Agreement, “Management Equity Plans” shall mean the First Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan of Parent, including any amendments thereto, together with any other incentive equity plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries under which Executive may have in the past received, or may in the future receive any equity or equity-based award, along with any Award Agreements (as defined therein) and any attachments thereto, as amended from time to time.

5.Confidential Information.

(a)Executive acknowledges that the continued success of Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, depends upon the use and protection of a large body of confidential and proprietary information. All of such confidential and proprietary information now existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement as “Confidential Information”. Confidential Information will be interpreted as broadly as possible to include all information of any sort (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form) that is (1) related to Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ current or potential business and (2) is not generally or publicly known. Confidential Information includes, without specific limitation, the information, observations and data obtained by Executive during the course of her performance with Parent and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including the Company) concerning the business and affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ business or industry of which Executive has become or becomes aware during her employment, the persons or entities that are current, former or prospective suppliers or customers of any one or more of them during Executive’s course of performance, as well as development, transition and transformation plans, methodologies and methods of doing business, strategic, marketing and expansion plans, including plans regarding planned and potential sales, financial and business plans, employee lists and telephone numbers, locations of sales representatives, new and existing programs and services, prices and terms, customer service, integration processes, requirements and costs of providing service, support and equipment. Therefore, Executive agrees that during her employment and thereafter he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for her own account any of such Confidential Information without the Board’s prior written consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s acts or omissions to act; or (ii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or court order. Executive agrees to deliver to the Company at the end of the Employment Period, or at any other time the Company may request in writing, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents (and copies thereof) relating to the business of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, without limitation, all Confidential Information) that he may then possess or have under her control.

6

(b)During the Employment Period, Executive shall not use or disclose any confidential information, including trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and shall not bring onto the premises of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or Person. Executive shall use in the performance of her duties only information that is (1) generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive’s and that is (i) common knowledge in the industry or (ii) is otherwise legally in the public domain; (2) otherwise provided or developed by Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; or (3) in the case of materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, approved for such use in writing by such former employer or Person. If at any time during the Employment Period, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in work that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality or other obligations Executive may have to former employers, Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executive’s duties can be modified appropriately.

(c)Executive represents and warrants to the Parent and its Subsidiaries that Executive took nothing with her that belonged to any former employer when Executive left her position(s) with such employer(s) that Executive was not authorized to take and that Executive has nothing that contains any confidential information that belongs to any former employer. If at any time Executive discovers that this representation is incorrect, Executive shall promptly return any such materials to Executive’s former employer(s). Parent and its Subsidiaries do not want any such materials, and Executive shall not be permitted to use or refer to any such materials in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.

(d)Executive understands that Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 5(a) above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of Parent or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates who need to know such information in connection with their work for Parent or such Subsidiaries and Affiliates) or use, except in connection with her work for Parent or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the Board in writing.

(e)Under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made to Executive’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (3) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Further, nothing in this Agreement prevents Executive from providing, without prior notice

7

to the Company or its Affiliates, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations.

6.Intellectual Property, Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any confidential information) and all registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and that are conceived, developed or made by Executive (whether alone or jointly with others) while employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether before or after the date of this Agreement (“Work Product”), belong to Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary. At the Company’s expense, Executive shall perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).

7.Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation.

(a)In further consideration of the increased compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder, Executive acknowledges that during the course of her employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, he has and shall become familiar with Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ corporate strategy, pricing and other market information, know-how, trade secrets and valuable customer, supplier and employee relationships, and with other Confidential Information concerning Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and that her services have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Accordingly, and in consideration for receiving the salary increase in connection with this Agreement and the potential severance benefits set forth in Section 4(b) above, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for one (1) year thereafter (the “Non-compete Period”), if the termination of Executive’s employment is voluntary or for “Cause” (as defined above), he shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, in a capacity similar to the position(s) held by Executive with the Company in the last two (2) years of Executive’s employment by the Company, and in a geographic area to which Executive was assigned, in which Executive provided services or had a material presence or influence, or for which Executive was directly or indirectly responsible, during the last two (2) years of her employment by the Company, own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any manner engage in any Competing Business that conducts operations or sales in such U.S. states, or such countries outside the United States, as Parent and its Subsidiaries conduct sales or operations as of the date of termination of the Employment Period. Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a publicly-traded corporation, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation. For purpose of this Agreement, “Competing Business” shall mean any business engaged (whether directly or indirectly) in the design, manufacture, marketing, or sale of products or services competitive with those designed, manufactured, marketed or sold by the Parent or its

8

Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive has received sufficient mutually agreed-upon consideration for agreeing to be bound by the obligations in this Section, specifically the salary increase and the potential to receive severance set forth in Section 4(b) above. The restrictions in this Section do not become effective until the 11^th business day after this Agreement is executed by Executive.

(b)During the Non-compete Period, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another person or entity (1) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Parent or any Subsidiary to leave the employ of Parent or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Parent or any Subsidiary and any employee thereof; (2) knowingly hire any person who was an employee of Parent or any Subsidiary at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the termination of Executive’s employment; or (3) induce or encourage, or attempt to induce, encourage or solicit, any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of Parent or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with Parent or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or business relation and Parent or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, making any negative or disparaging statements or communications regarding Parent or its Subsidiaries); provided that, in each case, this Section 7(b) shall only apply if Executive shall have done business with, or had direct or indirect supervisory or other responsibility for, the employee, customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, or business relation to which the applicable clause of this Section 7(b) applies.

(c)If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 7, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are reasonable and that he has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement with her legal counsel.

20.Tax Matters; Code Section 409A.

(a)The Company and its respective Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from any amounts owing from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to Executive any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes, excise tax, or employment taxes (“Taxes”) imposed with respect to Executive’s compensation or other payments from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Executive’s ownership interest in Parent (including, without limitation, wages, bonuses, dividends, the receipt or exercise of equity options and/or the receipt or vesting of restricted equity). In the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not make such deductions or withholdings, Executive shall indemnify the Company and its Subsidiaries for any amounts paid with respect to any such Taxes, together (if such failure to withhold was at the written direction of Executive) with any interest, penalties and related expenses thereto. The Company does not guarantee any particular tax result to Executive with respect to any payments or benefits provided hereunder.

(b)The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. In no event whatsoever shall the Company, or Parent or any of their Subsidiaries be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

(c)A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (1) the first business day following the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Executive, and (2) the date of Executive’s death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 19(c)(whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

(d)To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (1) all such expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Executive;

12

(2) any right to such reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and (3) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

(e)For purposes of Code Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive any payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

(f)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

21.Waiver of Jury Trial. AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED FOR INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (AFTER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL), EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

22.Corporate Opportunity. During the Employment Period, Executive shall submit to the Board all business, commercial and investment opportunities or offers presented to Executive, or of which Executive becomes aware, at any time during the Employment Period, which opportunities relate to the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, or selling products or services competitive with those designed, manufactured, marketed or sold by the Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (“Corporate Opportunities”). During the Employment Period, unless approved by the Board, Executive shall not accept or pursue, directly or indirectly, any Corporate Opportunities on Executive’s own behalf.

23.Executive’s Cooperation. During the Employment Period and thereafter, Executive shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and its Subsidiaries in any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding as reasonably requested by Parent or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, Executive being available to Parent and its Subsidiaries upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at Parent’s or any Subsidiary’s request to give truthful and accurate testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to Parent and its Subsidiaries all pertinent information and turning over to Parent and its Subsidiaries all relevant documents which are or may come into Executive’s possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with Executive’s other permitted activities and commitments). In the event Parent or any Subsidiary requires Executive’s cooperation in accordance with this Section 23, Parent shall pay Executive a per diem reasonably determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee and reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith (including lodging and meals, upon submission of receipts).

13

24.Nondisparagement. Executive agrees not to, except as may be required by law, directly or indirectly, publicly or privately, make, publish or solicit, or encourage others to make, publish or solicit, any disparaging statements, comments, announcements, or remarks concerning Parent or its Affiliates, or any of their respective past and present directors, officers or employees. Parent and its Affiliates agree not to, except as may be required by law, directly or indirectly, publicly or privately, make, publish or solicit, or encourage others to make, publish or solicit, any disparaging statements, comments, announcements or remarks concerning Executive or her employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

25.Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that he had the opportunity to consult with counsel regarding this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, continued employment of Executive by the Company and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are expressly hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Employment. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to continue employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending as provided in Section 4 hereof (the “Employment Period”).

2.Position and Duties.

(a)During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company and shall have the duties, responsibilities, functions and authority that are normally associated with the position of Senior Vice President. Executive’s duties shall be subject to the power and authority of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Company Board”) and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sensata Technologies Holding plc, a public limited company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“Parent”), to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority and to overrule actions of officers of the Company. During the Employment Period, Executive shall render to Parent and its Subsidiaries (as defined herein) administrative, financial and other executive and managerial services that are consistent with Executive’s position as the Board may from time to time direct.

(b)Executive shall report to the Chief Executive officer & President, or to such other person or persons as may be designated from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board. Executive shall devote her full business time and attention (except for vacation periods consistent with past practice and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries. In performing her duties and exercising her authority under this Agreement, Executive shall support and implement the business and strategic plans approved from time to time by the Board. As long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board, perform other services for compensation. Unless otherwise agreed by Executive, Executive’s place of work shall be in the greater Attleboro, Massachusetts metropolitan area, except for travel reasonably required for Company business.

3.Compensation and Benefits.

(a)During the Employment Period, Executive’s base salary shall be equal to the amount determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board on an annual basis (as adjusted from time to time, the “Base Salary”), which Base Salary shall be payable by the Company in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices (in effect from time to time). In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all of the Company’s employee benefit programs for which senior executive employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries are generally eligible (assuming Executive and/or her family meet the eligibility requirements of those benefit programs) (the “Senior Executive Benefits”).

(b)During the Employment Period, Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable business expenses incurred by her in the course of performing her duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, which business expenses are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses.

Executive will become entitled to receive an Annual Bonus, if any, only if Executive continues to be employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries through April 1st of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates and such Annual Bonus, if any, will be paid to Executive by the Company on or before April 15^th of the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which such Annual Bonus relates. There is no guaranteed

2

Annual Bonus under this Agreement, and for each applicable year, Executive’s Annual Bonus could be as low as zero or as high as the maximum Annual Bonus opportunity established for such year.

4.Term.

(a)The Employment Period shall end on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, but shall automatically be renewed on the same terms and conditions set forth herein (as may be modified from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) for additional one-year periods beginning on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and on each successive anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the Company or Executive gives the other party written notice of the election not to renew the Employment Period at least 90 days prior to any such renewal date; provided that, the Employment Period shall terminate immediately upon Executive’s resignation (with or without Good Reason, as defined below), death or Disability (as defined below) or upon the Company’s termination of Executive’s employment (whether with Cause (as defined below) or without Cause).

Any stock options, RSUs or other equity awards granted to Executive shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Management Equity Plans and such awards. The amounts and benefits described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 4(b) will be paid if and only if Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a separation agreement with a general release to be provided by the Company in connection with Executive’s termination, and such release has become effective and no longer subject to revocation not later than sixty (60) days following the date of termination (the “General Release”) and only if Executive does not breach the provisions of Sections 5 through 7 hereof.

3

until the first scheduled payment date following the date the General Release is executed and no longer subject to revocation, with the first such payment being in an amount equal to the total amount to which Executive would otherwise have been entitled during the period following the date of termination through such payment date if such deferral had not been required. The amounts and benefits described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(b) shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the applicable date of termination.

The amounts and benefits described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(c) shall be paid to Executive or, in the event of death, Executive’s estate or beneficiaries, in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the applicable date of termination.

(d)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Executive shall not be entitled to any other salary, bonuses, employee benefits or compensation from the Company or its Subsidiaries after the termination of the Employment Period and all of Executive’s rights to salary, bonuses, employee benefits and other compensation hereunder which would have accrued or become payable after the termination of the Employment Period (other than vested retirement benefits accrued on or prior to the termination of the Employment Period in accordance with the terms of the applicable retirement plan or other amounts owing hereunder as of the date of such termination that have not yet been paid) shall cease upon such termination, other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA) or as provided under an applicable Management Equity Plan.

(e)Executive is under no obligation to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise, and the Company shall have no right of offset for any amounts received by Executive from other employment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Executive’s coverage under the Company’s health and dental benefit plans will terminate when Executive becomes eligible under any employee benefit plan made available by another employer covering health and dental benefits. Executive shall notify the Company within thirty (30) days after becoming eligible for any such benefits.

4

Board would be reasonably likely to cause, material harm (including reputational harm) to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their customers or suppliers; (3) any (i) repeated abuse of alcohol or (ii) abuse of controlled substances, in either case, that adversely affects Executive’s work performance (and, in the case of clause (i), continues to occur at any time more than thirty (30) days after Executive has been given written notice thereof) or brings Parent or its Subsidiaries into public disgrace or disrepute; (4) the failure by Executive to substantially perform duties as reasonably directed by the Board, which non-performance remains uncured for ten (10) days after written notice thereof is given to Executive; (5) willful misconduct with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, which misconducts causes, or in the good faith judgment of the Board would be reasonably likely to cause, material harm (including reputational harm) to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; (6) the failure of Executive to cooperate in any audit or investigation of the business or financial practices of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; or (7) any breach by Executive of Sections 5 through 7 of this Agreement or any other material breach of this Agreement or the Management Equity Plans (as defined below).

(h)Executive will be “Disabled” only if, as a result of her incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive is considered disabled under the Company’s long-term disability insurance plans.

(i)For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean if Executive resigns from employment with the Company and, if applicable, its Subsidiaries prior to the end of the Employment Period as a result of one or more of the following reasons: (1) any reduction in Executive’s Base Salary or Annual Bonus opportunity, without Executive’s prior consent, in either case other than any reduction which (i) is generally applicable to senior leadership team executives of the Company and (ii) does not exceed 15% of Executive’s Base Salary and Annual Bonus opportunity in the aggregate; (2) any material breach by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any agreement between such Persons and Executive; or (3) a change in Executive’s principal office without Executive’s prior consent to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from Executive’s principal office on the date hereof; provided that, in order for Executive’s resignation with Good Reason to be effective hereunder, Executive must provide written notice to the Company of the event constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial occurrence of such event, the Company shall have thirty (30) days after delivery of such written notice to cure such event to Executive’s reasonable satisfaction, and Executive’s resignation with Good Reason must be effective within thirty (30) days following the end of the Company’s cure period.

(j)For purposes of this Agreement, “Management Equity Plans” shall mean the First Amended and Restated 2010 Equity Incentive Plan of Parent, including any amendments thereto, together with any other incentive equity plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries under which Executive may have in the past received, or may in the future receive any equity or equity-based award, along with any Award Agreements (as defined therein) and any attachments thereto, as amended from time to time.

5.Confidential Information.

(a)Executive acknowledges that the continued success of Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, depends upon the use and protection of a large body of confidential and

5

proprietary information. All of such confidential and proprietary information now existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement as “Confidential Information”. Confidential Information will be interpreted as broadly as possible to include all information of any sort (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form) that is (1) related to Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ current or potential business and (2) is not generally or publicly known. Confidential Information includes, without specific limitation, the information, observations and data obtained by Executive during the course of her performance with Parent and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including the Company) concerning the business and affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ business or industry of which Executive has become or becomes aware during her employment, the persons or entities that are current, former or prospective suppliers or customers of any one or more of them during Executive’s course of performance, as well as development, transition and transformation plans, methodologies and methods of doing business, strategic, marketing and expansion plans, including plans regarding planned and potential sales, financial and business plans, employee lists and telephone numbers, locations of sales representatives, new and existing programs and services, prices and terms, customer service, integration processes, requirements and costs of providing service, support and equipment. Therefore, Executive agrees that during her employment and thereafter he shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for her own account any of such Confidential Information without the Board’s prior written consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s acts or omissions to act; or (ii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or court order. Executive agrees to deliver to the Company at the end of the Employment Period, or at any other time the Company may request in writing, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents (and copies thereof) relating to the business of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, without limitation, all Confidential Information) that he may then possess or have under her control.

(b)During the Employment Period, Executive shall not use or disclose any confidential information, including trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and shall not bring onto the premises of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or Person. Executive shall use in the performance of her duties only information that is (1) generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive’s and that is (i) common knowledge in the industry or (ii) is otherwise legally in the public domain; (2) otherwise provided or developed by Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; or (3) in the case of materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, approved for such use in writing by such former employer or Person. If at any time during the Employment Period, Executive believes he is being asked to engage in work that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality or other obligations Executive may have to former employers, Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executive’s duties can be modified appropriately.

6

(c)Executive represents and warrants to the Parent and its Subsidiaries that Executive took nothing with her that belonged to any former employer when Executive left her position(s) with such employer(s) that Executive was not authorized to take and that Executive has nothing that contains any confidential information that belongs to any former employer. If at any time Executive discovers that this representation is incorrect, Executive shall promptly return any such materials to Executive’s former employer(s). Parent and its Subsidiaries do not want any such materials, and Executive shall not be permitted to use or refer to any such materials in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.

(d)Executive understands that Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 5(a) above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of Parent or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates who need to know such information in connection with their work for Parent or such Subsidiaries and Affiliates) or use, except in connection with her work for Parent or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the Board in writing.

(e)Under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made to Executive’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (3) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Further, nothing in this Agreement prevents Executive from providing, without prior notice to the Company or its Affiliates, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations.

6.Intellectual Property, Inventions and Patents. Executive acknowledges that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any confidential information) and all registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and that are conceived, developed or made by Executive (whether alone or jointly with others) while employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether before or after the date of this Agreement (“Work Product”), belong to Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary. At the Company’s expense, Executive shall perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments).

7.Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation.

(a)In further consideration of the increased compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder, Executive acknowledges that during the course of her employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, he has and shall become familiar with Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ corporate strategy, pricing and other market information, know-how, trade secrets and valuable customer, supplier and employee relationships, and with other Confidential Information concerning Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and that her services have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Accordingly, and in consideration for receiving the salary increase in connection with this Agreement and the potential severance benefits set forth in Section 4(b) above, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for one (1) year thereafter (the “Non-compete Period”), if the termination of Executive’s employment is voluntary or for “Cause” (as defined above), he shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, in a capacity similar to the position(s) held by Executive with the Company in the last two (2) years of Executive’s employment by the Company, and in a geographic area to which Executive was assigned, in which Executive provided services or had a material presence or influence, or for which Executive was directly or indirectly responsible, during the last two (2) years of her employment by the Company, own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any manner engage in any Competing Business that conducts operations or sales in such U.S. states, or such countries outside the United States, as Parent and its Subsidiaries conduct sales or operations as of the date of termination of the Employment Period. Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a publicly-traded corporation, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation. For purpose of this Agreement, “Competing Business” shall mean any business engaged (whether directly or indirectly) in the design, manufacture, marketing, or sale of products or services competitive with those designed, manufactured, marketed or sold by the Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive has received sufficient mutually agreed-upon consideration for agreeing to be bound by the obligations in this Section, specifically the salary increase and the potential to receive severance set forth in Section 4(b) above. The restrictions in this Section do not become effective until the 11^th business day after this Agreement is executed by Executive.

(b)During the Non-compete Period, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another person or entity (1) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Parent or any Subsidiary to leave the employ of Parent or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between Parent or any Subsidiary and any employee thereof; (2) knowingly hire any person who was an employee of Parent or any Subsidiary at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the termination of Executive’s employment; or (3) induce or encourage, or attempt to induce, encourage or solicit, any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of Parent or any Subsidiary to cease doing business with Parent or such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or business relation and Parent or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, making any negative or disparaging statements or communications regarding Parent or its Subsidiaries); provided that, in each case, this Section 7(b) shall only apply if Executive shall have done business with, or had direct or indirect

8

supervisory or other responsibility for, the employee, customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, or business relation to which the applicable clause of this Section 7(b) applies.

(c)If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 7, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are reasonable and that he has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement with her legal counsel.

(d)Executive acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 7 would cause Parent and its Subsidiaries irreparable harm. Accordingly, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). Further, in the event of an alleged breach or violation by Executive of this Section 7, the Non-compete Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.

8.Executive’s Representations.

15.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including by means of facsimile), each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement.

16.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including, without limitation, any Persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor shall thereafter be deemed the “Company” for the purposes of this Agreement), but will

not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company other than to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and legatees, but otherwise will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by Executive. This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 16.

17.Choice of Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

19.Insurance. The Company may, at its discretion, apply for and procure in its own name and for its own benefit life and/or disability insurance on Executive in any amount or amounts considered advisable. Executive agrees to cooperate in any medical or other examination, supply any information and execute and deliver any applications or other instruments in writing as may be reasonably necessary to obtain and constitute such insurance.

20.Tax Matters; Code Section 409A.

(a)The Company and its respective Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from any amounts owing from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to Executive any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes, excise tax, or employment taxes (“Taxes”) imposed with respect to Executive’s compensation or other payments from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Executive’s ownership interest in Parent (including, without limitation, wages, bonuses, dividends, the receipt or exercise of equity options and/or the receipt or vesting of restricted equity). In the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not make such deductions or withholdings, Executive shall indemnify the Company and its Subsidiaries for any amounts paid with respect to any such Taxes, together (if such failure to withhold was at the written direction of Executive) with any interest, penalties and related expenses thereto. The Company does not guarantee any particular tax result to Executive with respect to any payments or benefits provided hereunder.

11

(b)The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. In no event whatsoever shall the Company, or Parent or any of their Subsidiaries be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

(c)A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (1) the first business day following the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Executive, and (2) the date of Executive’s death, to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 19(c)(whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

(d)To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, (1) all such expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Executive; (2) any right to such reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and (3) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

(e)For purposes of Code Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive any payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

(f)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

21.Waiver of Jury Trial. AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED FOR INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (AFTER

12

HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL), EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

22.Corporate Opportunity. During the Employment Period, Executive shall submit to the Board all business, commercial and investment opportunities or offers presented to Executive, or of which Executive becomes aware, at any time during the Employment Period, which opportunities relate to the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, or selling products or services competitive with those designed, manufactured, marketed or sold by the Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (“Corporate Opportunities”). During the Employment Period, unless approved by the Board, Executive shall not accept or pursue, directly or indirectly, any Corporate Opportunities on Executive’s own behalf.

23.Executive’s Cooperation. During the Employment Period and thereafter, Executive shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and its Subsidiaries in any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding as reasonably requested by Parent or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, Executive being available to Parent and its Subsidiaries upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at Parent’s or any Subsidiary’s request to give truthful and accurate testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to Parent and its Subsidiaries all pertinent information and turning over to Parent and its Subsidiaries all relevant documents which are or may come into Executive’s possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with Executive’s other permitted activities and commitments). In the event Parent or any Subsidiary requires Executive’s cooperation in accordance with this Section 23, Parent shall pay Executive a per diem reasonably determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee and reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith (including lodging and meals, upon submission of receipts).

24.Nondisparagement. Executive agrees not to, except as may be required by law, directly or indirectly, publicly or privately, make, publish or solicit, or encourage others to make, publish or solicit, any disparaging statements, comments, announcements, or remarks concerning Parent or its Affiliates, or any of their respective past and present directors, officers or employees. Parent and its Affiliates agree not to, except as may be required by law, directly or indirectly, publicly or privately, make, publish or solicit, or encourage others to make, publish or solicit, any disparaging statements, comments, announcements or remarks concerning Executive or her employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

25.Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that he had the opportunity to consult with counsel regarding this Agreement.

1.Release of Claims by You (the “Release”)

a.Allisha Elliott (or “you”) (for yourself, your heirs, assigns or executors) release and forever discharge the Company, any of its affiliates, and its and their directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, suits, demands, causes of action, contracts, covenants, obligations, debts, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law or equity, by statute or otherwise whether now known or unknown, vested or contingent, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden, which have existed or may have existed, or which do exist, through the date this Letter Agreement becomes effective and enforceable of any kind (“Claims”), which relate in any way to your employment with the Company or the termination of that employment, your rights under the employee benefit plans of the Company and your rights to accrued, unused vacation time in the payroll system (the “Release”).

b.Such released Claims include any and all claims, obligations, or causes of actions, of whatever kind, arising out of or in any way connected with any acts, omissions, practices, or policies that were or could have been asserted in connection with a civil action or administrative action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §2000e et seq. as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991, 42 U.S.C. §§1981-1988; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq.; the Older Workers Benefits Protection Act of 1990; the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 793 et seq.; the Family Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq.; the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.; 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981-1988; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1001, et seq.; the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101, et seq.; the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, 8 U.S.C. § 1324a, et seq.; the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 29 U.S.C. § 651 et seq.; the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (including the “whistleblower” provisions, 18 U.S.C. § 1514A, et seq.); the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. §151 et seq.; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, I.R.C. § 4980B; the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.; the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008; the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §201 et seq.; the Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988; the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009; the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978; the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994; Massachusetts Law Against Discrimination, G.L. c.151B; Massachusetts Workers’ Compensation Act, G.L. c. 152 §75B; Massachusetts Civil Rights Act, G.L. c.12, §11; Massachusetts Equal Rights Act, G.L. c. 93; Massachusetts Small Necessities Act, G.L. c. 149

Further, nothing in this Agreement limits the Company’s right to seek immediate dismissal of such charge or complaint on the basis that your signing of this Agreement constitutes a full release of any individual rights under the Federal Discrimination Laws, or the Company’s right to seek restitution of the economic benefits provided to you under this Agreement (or other legal remedies) if you successfully challenge the validity of this Release and prevail in any claim under the Federal Discrimination Laws.

d.Nothing in this Release or Letter Agreement prohibits you from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or regulatory authority (including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Justice and/or the National Labor Relations Board), or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. However, you understand and agree that you are waiving the right to any monetary recovery in connection with any complaint or charge that you may file with an administrative agency, except with respect to any monetary recovery under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

e.In signing this Release, you acknowledge that you intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. You expressly consent that this Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. You acknowledge and agree that this Release is an essential and material term of the Letter Agreement and without such Release the Company would not have agreed to the Separation Payments described in Section 5 of the Letter Agreement. You further agree that in the event you bring your own Claim in which you seek damages against the

10 | Page

Company, or in the event you seek to recover damages against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on your behalf, this Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims.

f.You acknowledge that you are receiving this Affirmation of Letter Agreement and Release of Claims on [insert applicable date], 2020, and you shall have twenty-one (21) days from your receipt of the document to consider and sign it (“Acceptance Period”). You also acknowledge that any changes or modifications to this Affirmation do not restart or otherwise extend the Acceptance Period, unless such changes are material. You shall have seven (7) calendar days following execution of the Affirmation of Letter Agreement and Release of Claims to revoke it by giving notice of such revocation to the Company via Melissa Mong, VP, General Counsel (Interim) and Corporate Secretary, via e-mail at mmong@sensata.com; and, to be effective, such notice must be received by the Company no later than the seventh (7th) calendar day following your execution of this Affirmation of Letter Agreement and Release of Claims (if such day is a Saturday or Sunday, or a legal holiday then such notice must be received on the first day thereafter that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday). You further acknowledge that if you do not sign this Affirmation of Letter Agreement and Release of Claims within twenty-one (21) days from your receipt of the document, or, alternatively, if you sign this Affirmation of Letter Agreement and Release of Claims within twenty-one (21) days from your receipt of the document but subsequently revoke it no later than seven (7) calendar days following execution of the Affirmation of Letter Agreement and Release of Claims by giving timely notice (as described above) of such revocation, then you forfeit any and all rights to the Separation Payments under the Letter Agreement.

2.Compliance With Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act. You and the Company desire and intend that the Letter Agreement and this Affirmation of Letter Agreement and Release of Claims comply with the terms of the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act. Accordingly, you acknowledge that you have been advised of the following rights:

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring and Other Charges, Net

Restructuring and Other Charges, Net

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we analyzed the potential long-term impact of the global financial and health crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") on our business and, as a result, committed to a plan to reorganize our business (the “Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program”). The Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, consisting of voluntary and involuntary reductions-in-force and certain site closures, was commenced in order to align our cost structure to the demand levels that we anticipate over the coming quarters. The majority of the actions under the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program are expected to be completed on or before June 30, 2021.

The reductions-in-force, which are subject to the laws and regulations of the countries in which the actions are planned, are expected to impact approximately 980 positions. Over the life of the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program, we expect to incur restructuring charges of between $35.0 million and $39.0 million related to reductions-in-force and between $8.0 million and $10.0 million related to site closures. We expect to settle these charges with cash on hand.

We expect these restructuring charges to impact our business segments and corporate functions as follows:

		Reductions-in-Force				Site Closures
(Dollars in millions)	Positions	Minimum		Maximum		Minimum		Maximum
Performance Sensing	214	$	12.6	$	14.0	$	3.0	$	4.0

Amounts accrued in the three months ended June 30, 2020 related to the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program are detailed by segment below. All charges related to this program incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2020 were related to severance costs and recorded in restructuring and other charges, net.

⁽¹⁾  Severance costs, net (excluding those related to the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were related to termination benefits arising from the shutdown and relocation of an operating site in Northern Ireland. Severance costs, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily related to benefits provided for under a voluntary retirement incentive program offered to a limited number of eligible employees in the U.S.

⁽²⁾  Other charges in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily related to a $12.1 million pre-judgment interest-related award granted by the court on behalf of the plaintiffs, Wasica Finance GmbH ("Wasica"), in connection with a patent infringement case against Schrader. Refer to Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies," for additional information related to this matter. Other charges in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily related to deferred compensation incurred in connection with the acquisition of GIGAVAC, LLC ("GIGAVAC").

The following table presents a rollforward of the severance portion of our restructuring liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The only charges that were incurred under the Q2 2020 Global Restructure Program related to severance. The components of our other restructuring liabilities not related to severance were immaterial.

Income Taxes

The following table presents the provision for/(benefit from) income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
	June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019		June 30, 2020			June 30, 2019
Provision for/(benefit from) income taxes	$	1,441	$	30,841	$	(75	)	$	52,308

The decrease in total tax from the prior periods was predominantly related to the overall decrease in income before tax as impacted by the mix of profits in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.

In response to the global financial and health crisis caused by COVID-19, the U.S. federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") on March 27, 2020. Federal limitations on interest deductions were reduced in connection with this legislation, and we recorded a deferred tax benefit of $7.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, as we were able to utilize additional interest expense that was previously subject to a valuation allowance.

The provision for/(benefit from) income taxes consists of:

• current tax expense, which relates primarily to our profitable operations in non-U.S. tax jurisdictions and withholding taxes related to management fees, royalties, and the repatriation of foreign earnings; and

•

deferred tax expense (or benefit), which represents adjustments in book-to-tax basis differences primarily related to (1) the step-up in fair value of fixed and intangible assets acquired in connection with business combination transactions, (2) changes in net operating loss carryforwards, (3) changes in tax rates, and (4) changes in our assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets.

___________________________________

⁽¹⁾  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, potential ordinary shares of approximately 66 thousand and 200 thousand, respectively, related to stock options and approximately 353 thousand and 403 thousand, respectively, related to unvested restricted securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding as a result of the net loss incurred in those periods.

Net (loss)/income and net (loss)/income per share are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Certain potential ordinary shares were excluded from our calculation of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding because either they would have had an anti–dilutive effect on net (loss)/income per share or they related to equity awards that were contingently issuable for which the contingency had not been satisfied. These potential ordinary shares were as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies We are a defendant in a lawsuit, Wasica Finance Gmbh et al v. Schrader International Inc. et al, Case No. 13-1353-CPS, U.S.D.C., Delaware, in which the claimant alleges infringement of their patent (US 5,602,524) in connection with certain of our tire pressure monitoring system products. The patent in question has expired, and as a result, the claimant seeks damages for past alleged infringement with interest and costs. The asserted patent is the U.S. counterpart of a German patent that had been previously asserted against Schrader. Schrader succeeded in proving that German patent to be invalid. On February 14, 2020, the federal jury trial related to this lawsuit concluded, and the jury found Schrader International Inc. liable for damages in the amount of $31.2 million. We recorded a loss of $29.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 in cost of revenue. On July 6, 2020, the court awarded an additional $12.1 million for plaintiffs and against us for pre-judgment interest-related damages. In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a loss of $12.1 million through restructuring and other charges, net, to reflect the court's order. We continue to deny any wrongdoing in this matter and intend to appeal this ruling along with the court's pre-judgment interest award. As of June 30, 2020, we have recorded an accrual of $43.3 million related to this matter in other long-term liabilities, based on timing of expected payment if our appeal is unsuccessful.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

We have agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if we default on our indebtedness and repayment of the indebtedness has been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2020, the termination value of outstanding derivatives in a liability position, excluding any adjustment for non-performance risk, was $18.5 million. As of June 30, 2020, we had not posted any cash collateral related to these agreements. If we breach any of the default provisions on any of our indebtedness as described above, we could be required to settle our obligations under the derivative agreements at their termination values.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we altered the way we measure segment operating income in order to align with a change to the performance measures provided to and used by our chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources to each segment. Whereas research and development ("R&D") and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses related to our megatrend initiatives were historically allocated to our operating segments, beginning in the second quarter these amounts are presented within corporate and other. Prior period information has been recast to reflect this revised presentation.

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following two reportable segments, Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions, each of which is also an operating segment. Our operating segments are businesses that we manage as components of an enterprise, for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

An operating segment’s performance is primarily evaluated based on segment operating income, which excludes amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, net, certain costs associated with our strategic megatrend initiatives, and certain corporate costs/credits not associated with the operations of the segment, including share-based compensation expense and a portion of depreciation expense associated with assets recorded in connection with acquisitions. Corporate and other costs excluded from an operating segment’s performance are separately stated below and also include costs that are related to functional areas, such as finance, information technology, legal, and human resources. We believe that segment operating income, as defined above, is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our segments. However, this measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies of each of our reporting segments are materially consistent with those in the summary of significant accounting policies as described in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
